ADDRESS

We, taking into consideration your Highness's fer-
vent zeal for the Protestant religion, manifested to the
world in your many hazardous enterprises, wherein it hath
pleased Almighty God to bless you with miraculous suc-
cess, do render our deepest thanks to the Divine Majesty
for the same, and beg leave to present our most humble
thanks to your Highness, particularly, for your appearing
in arms in this kingdom, to carry on and perfect your
glorious designs, to rescue these kingdoms from slavery
and popery, and, in a free parliament, to establish the
s upon
sreulriegioanndand lastingla ws tind libertiesfoundation.

for some remedy for those oppressions and imminent
dangers which we, together with our Protestant fellow_
subjects, laboured under, from his Majesty's concessions
and concurrences with your Highness's just and.pious
purpose, expressed in your gracious declaration. But
herein finding ourselves finally disappointed by his Ma-
jesty's withdrawing himself, we presume to make your
chighnessl

hum-
bly beseech your Highness to repair to this city, where
your Highness will be received with universal joy and
satisfaction."

Sir, having given you the above address, I beg to add
the following Orangeman's submission :

We've fund the banner that wav'd so long its sunny folds
around us;
We've still the note of our ancient song, and burst the tie that
bound us.
No, no that tie, that sacred tie, can ne'er be loos'd or broken,
And thoughts will flash from eye to eye, altho' no word be
spoken.

Go, raze old Derry's tell-tale wall; bid Enniskillen perish ;
Choke up the Boyne; abolish all that we so fondly cherish :
'Twill be but as the pruning knife, used by a skilful master
To concentrate the sap of life and fix the strong root faster.

We love the throne; oh I deep ye plann'd the hateful wile to

prove us;
But firm in stainless faith we stand—our Queen shall know and

love us.
When William came to free this isle from galling chains that

bound her,
Our fathers rear'd beneath his smile a living rampart round her.
Ye've ta'en the outer crust away, but, secret strength sup

„
plying,
A spirit, shrin'd within the clay, dwells quenchless and undying;
A sparkle from the hallow'd flame of our insulted altars,
Pure as the fire from whence it came, our love ne'er fades nor
falters.

That love to thee, dear injured land, by mocking foes insulted,—
That love to the?, Victoria, by artful craft assaulted ;
Banner, and badge, and herished name, here at thy call we

tender,—
The
loyal truth that guards the throne we'll keep, and "No
SURRRNDER."
AN ORANGEMAN AND PROTESTANT.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—SinCe the abandonment of all
hopes of obtaining the enlargement of the dock-gates,
out on
pre-
parations have been made for floating this vessel
tanks, to be filled with air, preparatory to placing her
upon which it was necessary that she should be taken out
of dock. Wednesday morning last was the time announced
for her displaying her enormous bulk in the harbour ;
crowds had assembled to witness her egress—but notsuch
crowds as attended upon the occasion of Prince Albert's
visit ; and another remarkable feature in the case was the
that her
absence of the success which then followed the efforts to
ofto
float her out of dock. The endeavours made to free her

further progress was prevented by ber pressing about mid-
ships on a portion of the blocks on which she had hitherto
rested in the dock, caused by the immense weight of ma.
chinery which has been put into her since the time of
Prince Albert's visit. After resorting to a variety of ex-
periments to release her the caissoon was at length re-
placed, and we understand that it will be attempted to-
day, (Saturday,) by means of men diving, to cut away the
obstruction.—Bristol Journal of Saturday.
