IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Orr. 1.
You are aware that the inhabitants of Galway took
advantage of the opportuuity afforded them by the recent
visit of Lord F. L. Gower, in the ancient capital of Con-
naught, to call a public meeting for the purpose of ad-
dressing the right. hon. secretary on his arrival amongst
them. This was the first occasion of the description
since the passing of the relief bill; and as you may be
desirous to learn the tone of the addresses, and the tem-
per of his lordship's reply, I send you the two docu-
ments, which have not as yet, I believe, been published
in the newspapers.
ADDRESS.
" lo ens atoms ■ow. e•e was •sands treason taowas,
•• by Loan,—The inhabitants of Galway beg leave to offer to
your lordship their congratulations upon your arrival in this part
of Ireland.
" We have balled with particular pleasure the visit to our loyal
and ancient town of a nobleman who bolds so high an office under
Hls Majesty's government, and wbo is not more elevated by birth
and station than by a steady discharge of his duties in the spirit of
equal and impartial justice.
•' It is highly gratifying to us to have an opportunity of ex-
pressing to your lordship the MOM we entertain of the good
effected for the State, by the great measure of the last session of
Parliament.
•• Here Protestants and Roman Catholics emulate each other
in promoting, not preventing, tho success of a policy so liberal and
wise, and in proportion as they do so, religious peace and general
tranquillity are the happy mutts.
" Your Lordship has viewed our ports and witnessed the ad-
vantages which nature has conferred upon our town and i.eigh-
bouthood ; and we are confident that those measures of local im-
provement which are necessary for extruding and securing the
commerce, and with the general prosperity and revenue of so
important a portion of the united kingdom, will receive from your
Lordship countenance and support.
•• With these pleasing anticipations we offer to your Lordship
the sincere expression of our beet wishes, and of our hopes. th.t
your connexibn with Ireland may not cease until ahe is all that 114-
Sure has qualified her to be—happy and finurishiog within her-elf,
and a perennial source of wealth and strength to the Empire.

r Grintestes--I received the Address which you have dune
ow the honour to present to me, with feelings of pride and sa-
tisfaction. I consider myself fortunate to have been enabled,
in the course of my present excursion, to make the visit to
your city which has procured me so flittering an expression
of your regard, and I beg you to accept the assurance of my
gratitude for the honour which you have conferred upon me.
" As one officially connected with the administration of the
affairsof this country, I feel deeply the importance of an expression
of confidence in the motives of his Majesty's present Government
and approbation of its measures, peeding from so numerous and
respectable a body of the inhabitarocnt. of Galway. Every member
of that Administration will, I am sure. appreciate with me the
circumstances which constitute that importance. They are not
merely to be found in the rapid increase of your commercial in-
tercourse the extension of your building., or in the capabilities for
improvement which the local situation of your city presents
to the rye even of an unpractised observer. There are circum-
stances which add weight even to such considerations, as there is
rot expression of opinion, whether in praise or censure, can be un-
derrated or neglected, when it emanates front those who have
proved by their example that the freedom of political and litigious
opinion. anti the aspiration for the full enjoyment of civil rights, are
compatible with unshaken loyalty to the Crown, and with unim-
paired union and good-will among themselves.
" I trust that the Administration to which I have the honour to
be attached will continue, by its measure.. to merit and obtain
such testimonies of confidence and regard as that which it has on
this occasion received.
" It will be a personal gratification to myself, if, in the course
of my of labours, I should be enabled to contribute to the
success of any measure for the advantage of your city, in the
further increase of its growing prosperity. I should derive front
such an occupation the additional interest which must be fek by a
witness of its present flourishing condition, and the promise of its

The noble Secretary is expected to arrive in town
to-day from his visit to the " Irish Highlands," us Cun-
nemara is sometimes called. During his tour to this
remote and almost unknown district, which he com-
menced after his departure from Galway, he and his
amiable consort spent a day at Headford, the beautiful
seat of Mr. Mansergh St. George, by whom they were
conducted to Cong and across the lake; after which
they were hospitably entertained on the successive even-
, ings at Clifden Castle and Ballinahinch Castle, the man-
sions of Mr. John D'Arcy and Mr. Thomas Martin, son
of the ex-member for Galway. Their last visit was to
Castle Magarrett, the seat of Mr. Dominick Browne. A
good deal of importance is attached to the Noble Secre-
tary's visit to this hitherto neglected portion of Ireland.
He is, I believe, the first Irish Secretary who has been in
that remote district, of which less is known by persona
resident in the metropolis than of the prairies of North
America or the bush of New South Wales.

We bad a large arrival of New Wheat this morning, the major

It for the millers, were exceedingly dull sale, at a reduction of tront

lower, but no purchases were made. Barley was al.o 36 per
quarter lower. and but few sales effected at that decline. Beans
and Peas of both lent. were dull sale, and rather cheaper. Oats
were cheaper—New 2*. and Old Is. per quarter, the demand at till:
period of the year being rather limited. In other articles there is
no alteration.
