ADDRESS.

" We, taking into consideration your Highness's fer-
vent zeal for the Protestant religion, manifested to the
world in your many hazardous entet prises, wherein it bath
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 born slavery
and popery, and, in a free parliament, to establish the
religion and laws and liberties of these kingdoms upon a
sure and lasting foundation. We have hitherto looked
for some remedy for those oppressions and imminent
dangers which we, together with our Protestant fellow-
and concurrences with your Highness's just and pious
subjects, laboured under, from h:s Majesty's concessions
purpos,,., expressed .in your gracious declaration. But

es v's- toi dr to

e o
city, implore your Highness's protection, and most hum-
bly beseech your Highness to repair to this city, where
your Highness will be received with universal y,
joy and
satisfaction."

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

We've he'd 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
bdund us.
No, no ! that tie, that sacred tie, can ne'er be loosed or broken,
And thoughts will flash from eye to eye, altho' no word be
spoken.

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

We love the throne; oh ! 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. shriii'd within the clay. dwells quenchless and undying;
A sparkle from the hal!ow'd flame of our insulted altars,

Puie 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 thee, Victoria, by artful craft assaulted ;
Banner, and badge; and clArislied name, here at thy call we
tender,—
The loyal truth that guards the throne we'll keep, and " No
SUaRENDER."

AN ORANGEMAN AND PROTESTANT.

RESPITE OF MARY FURI.Ey.-011 Saturday afternoon,
about four o'clock, the sheriffs received a communication
from the Secretary of State tor the Home Department,
stating that her Majesty had been pleased td respite the
sentence of death passed at the last assizes of the Central
Criminal Court on Mary Furley during her Majesty's
Royal pleasure. It will be recollected that the wretched
woman was convicted under circuitirances of a peculiarly
distressing kind ; she had been long out of employ, and,

latter. The poor creature, on re• eming the information
emmcairttriin carried
that her life would be spared, burst into a flood of tears,
and when she had somewhat, recovered her self-possession
expressed her gratitude in the warmest terms to the gen-
tlemen who had so kindly interested themselves in her
behalf. It is not at present known what her commuted

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—Since the abandonment or all
hopes of obtaining the enlargement of the dock-gates, pre-
parations
have been made for floating this vessel out on
tangs, 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 not such
crowds as attended upon the occasion of Prince Albert's
visit; and another remarkable feature in the case was the
absence of the success which then followed the efforts to
float her out of dock. The endeavours made to free her
from the dock were continued till Friday afternoon, with-
out being sufficient to move her more than a distance of
about 40 feet—thus far would she go and no farther. The
cause of her detention was stated differently by 'mina,
persons, but it appear to be the general opinion that her
further progress was prevented by her pressing about mid-
ships on a portion of the 'flocks on which she bad 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 I we understand that it will be attempted lo-
day, (Saturday.)
by means of men diving, to cut away the
obstruction.—Bristol Journal of Saturday.
