" 111 v Dzas Loan—Having had the gratification of accepting
the office of Grand Master of the Loyal Orange Institution of
Great Britain, as successor to my much-lamented brother, the
Doke of York, and having presided at i•s anniversary in the moth
of Juue last, it cannot but aff.ird me great gratification to I.cc.pt the
proposal made to me, through you, to fill a similar office in Ireland,
where that Loyal Society originated, for the defence of the Con-
' stitution in a time of peril, and where, still more even than in Great
Britain, every energy is needed to defend the sacred cause of

" lly attachment to that cause, which I imbibed from the In-
structions and example of my late revered father, (hinge 111. has
been increased and strengthened by experience and refrerion ; con-
vinced as I am that the British Constitution, the molt invaluable
that ever existed, from its religious and free character ,eannot con'
tinue, should Protestant Ascendancy be destroyed. I shall ever
be found to abide by those principles which. guided the conduct of
my honoured father and Sovereign, and of my beloved brother,
the present King, and the late Duke of York; and which I can-
not but consider to be those for the defence of which the House
of Brunswick was called to the Throne.
" I rejoice that the time Is arrived when the laws no longer for-
bid the revival of the Society in Ireland, and that I have the plea•

hum. w Dropnore. Jan. 9.

* Sea—T have bad the honour this morning to receive your letter,
enclosing a copy of the Resolutions to be Proposed at a Public
Meeting in Dublin, on the 20th of this month, and expressing a
whb for my presence there. The state of my health has now for
some time been such as nearly to confine me to my house, and has
lung since compelled me to withdraw from all active participation
in public business, and all I'atliamentaty attendance; but on the
great question of the repeal of the disqualifying laws now affect-
ing our Roman Catholic fcllow•subjects, I have never omitted
to espress by my proxy a deliberate and unchanged opinion.
Every day men:hens my conviction of the urgent and continually
increasing importapce of such a final and conciliatory a.ljustment
of that subject as is recommended in the proposed resolutions.
This would, in my judgment. have been, at the time of the Union,
an act of the wisest anti most beneficial policy. It has now be-
come one of indispensable necessity for the prevention—l ought
rather at this time to say, for the remedy—of evils, which are
truly described as ' alike destructive of social happiness and
national prosperity.'
This persuasion I am most earnestly desirous of avowing,
wherever the voice of one so much retired from_ political discus-
slims can be beard ; but my attenda ce fur that purpose, at any
pubic meeting, is an exertion, I am sorry to say, quite 6eyo■d my
strengtis.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient

bumble servant,
" Thv Itcv. Edward Orates."

Tise LATZ DREADFUL OCCURRENCE IN FR E Ctn.--
Yesterday an Inquest was held at the e•, Whaecrusso
street, on the body of Amelia !meson, aged five yeast,
the daughter r f Mr. !meson. who resides at the
corner of Alder manbury Posters and Fore-street. and
whose death was tensed by the mother cutting its throat
when in a paroxysm t f insanity. By ifie evidence, it ap-
peared that on S.turday mot fling last, the lei vast of Mr.
linemen (Eliza Bator), took the child up stairs to its mu•
tiler, in the bed-room, who caressed it, and said, "It to ke
like one of the children its the wood ;" in five minutes
afterwards the girl went up stair., and saw her mistress
covered with blood, sitting upon the bed, and her throat
cut. She informed her master, who went up into the
room, and he found the child lying on the floor with its
throat cut from ear to ear. • A surgeon, Mr. Vaux, watt
called in, and he remind that the larynx and carotid ar-
tery in the child's throat had been cut, and a razor was
found near the spot. Evidence w•s called to ahem that
she had sonic tune ago bEen in a lunatic as) hum, in con-
sequence of insanity; that she had somewhat recovered,
and bad relapsed within the last few days into her former
deranged state. In answer to questions put by tl.e Jury,
Mr. Vauz gated that he had attended Mr s. !meson siocef
the sad eatastrr p!'.e happened ; that she confessed cuta•i:
flog her child's throat, and said th it she was rem'y to
expiate the.hffeece by the f rfeituie of her life. The
unhappy woman declaim that she would give worlds
to recal the day; that she was lure the sigh.tt f tbeAL.
MIGHTY was off her at the time, and that an . vii spirit
goaded her on; that when she had cut her little girl's
throat, her season returned to her, ai..d she enderuronted
to destroy het self in the same manner. The jest ree
turned a verdict, " That the deseased'a death was pro.
dated by a wound iii the throat, 'hash was inflicted by
Amelia 'meson,. it, mother, whilst in a OAF Utlealill)!
