" DUBLIN) AUGUST 24.
" Daoonena Merrimo.-;-Yesterday, the Catholic
inhabitants of Drogheda assembled at the Lintn-hall,
pursuant to public notice. The meeting was nume-
rous and highly respectable, and, we are happy to
state, like the others which preceded it throughout the
country, it was also attended by several Protestant
Gentlemen of great respectability. Some of the Al-
dermen and Magistrates attended, to giveicountenance
and support to their Catholic fellow-citizens ; and
Mr. TANDY one of the Protestant Gentlemen present,
was named of the Committee of seven to prepare re-
solutions for the consideration of the meeting. Mr.
ITANDY observed that it was late on the preceding
evening that he had beard' of the intended meeting ;
he felt extremely happy in being present, and, its the
course of a very liberal and manly speech, delivered
in a very affecting manner, declared the extreme sa-
tisfaction he felt in having lived to see all sects go
hand in hand in Petitioning. the Legislature, for a
',total repeal of the penal laws, which so grievously
affect his loyal Catholic brethren.

" Doctor SKEITON, at the close of a truly eloquent
and impressive speech, proposed some Resolutions.
The most perfect harmony and cordiality between
the Protestants and Catholics prevailed, upon which
we congratulate the respectable and liberal inhabi-
tants of Drogheda."

" Sit.---otiserving in your excellent Paper of the 2.:(1 instant, a
paragraph respecting the march of the 2d battalion 7th or Royal
Fusileers through Tunbridge Wells, and the munificence of its
Inhabitants to the gallant fellows, I beg to correct a mistake that
crept into the statement. The sum so handsomely subscribed
was thirty-Poo guineas, and nit forty; but what is of infinitely
more importance to be fairly understood, is, that the Polish
Lancers did not break the ranks of the Fusileers, for it warby two
heavy columns of French iiifatitry they were principally assailed
and so warmly engaged, and of wh:ch the Fusileers gave so good
an account, suffering but f,4 of them to escape to tell the
mournful tale to their friends.—To show you the estimation in
which their conduct is held by Lord WELLINGTON, I will take
the liberty to subjoin an extract f. Om a letter which his Lord-
ship wrote to Lady Mv eas after the fall of her son, Sir Was.
Mrs as, that most invaluable Officer It may be some consols.
tion for you hereafter to know, that your son fell in an action is
which, if possible, the British troops surpassed'all their former li
deeds, and at the head of the Fusileer brigade, to which a great
part of she final success of the day is to Ise attributed."—l beg
also to mention for your information, and I hope you will give it
an early place in your Paper, that the patriotic and truly worthy
Mr. Cox E it, of Bosley House (in tb's neighbourhood), has this day
given the whole of the men that fought at Albuera now here,
belonging to the Fusileers, a good dinner of English roast beef
and plum pudding, with as much brown-stout and punch as
they could quaff, as a mark of respect for their gallant exertions
in that battle--the men in return drank his health with three
British cheers,"
It is not yet finally settled who is to have the new
sth Dragoons. Two Generals of equal pretensions
are.nnmed ; the regiment is to be raised in Ireland.

The skeleton of the 4:11 battalion of the 60th regi-
ment, from Dominica, have marched into Hilsea

barracks.

The 80th regintents which has been in India some
years, are ordered h:;me.
Tuesday se'nnight, the 423, or Royal Highlanders,
were reviewed on Musselburgh Links, near Edin-
burgh, by Lieutenant. General the Earl of ROSSLYN,
who exprest.esi the highest satisfaction at the %%i‘rlikel
appearance and discipline of the corps. Friday, about
two o'clock, the regiment marched from Mussel.
burgh for Leith, to embark on board the following
smacks for Gravesend, viz. King George and Cale.
donia, Old Shipping Company ; Matchless and Swift.
Edinburgh and Leith Shipping Company; and
Trusty, Fifeshire, and Eliza, London and Edinburgh
Shipping, Company. They arrived at Leith about
four o'cock, when the embarkation immediately
commenced. The regiment was commanded by their
v..-reran Lieutenant-Colonel STIRLING. His Excel.
lency Lord Viscount CATlicAttr, and his Staff, the
Earl of RosoLvN, General DICKSON, who formerly
commanded this battalion, and a number of other
distinguished Oificers, accompanied the regiment to
the water side. Sir SYDNEY SMITH, who served along
with this corps in Egypt, was also present to witness
the embarkation of his former associates in arms.—
The crowd of spectators was immense. While the,
regiment was marching, the road from Musselburgh
to Leith was covered with people, and every place
on the shore which could command the least view of
the embarkation was crowded to excess with specta
tors. Each of the smacks as they got under weigh,
were cheered with loud and repeated applauses, by
the populace, who expressed the warmest wishes for
the welfare and prosperity of this truly brave and
veteran national regiment. All the smacks, except
the Matchless, went out in fine style. The Matchless
was run foul of by a foreign vessel coming into the
harbour, and after getting clear, she got on a bank
where she lay till next morning, when she got off.
She had on board the Staff of the regiment, the gre.
nadiers, and the band. The whole weighed on Sa-
turday morning, and stood down the Frith with a
southerly wind.
