ances of their friendly disposition, and of their earnest
desire for the maintenance of peace.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE Ho CSE OF COMMONS,
" I thank you for the readiness and liberality with which
you have voted the supplies for the current year. It will
be my constant object to combine a strict regard toeco-
nomy with the consideration which is due to the exigen-
cies of the public service.
" :SAY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
" In some districts of Wales the public peace has been
interrupted by lawless combinations and disturbances un-
connected with political causes. I have adopted the
measures which I deemed best calculated for the repres-
sion of outrage, and for the detection and punishment of
the offenders.
" I have at the same time directed an inquiry to be
made into the circumstances which have led to insubordi-
nation and violence in a part of the country usually dis-
tinguished for good order and willing obedience to the law.
" I have observed with the deepest concern the perse-
vering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and
disaffection among my subjects in Ireland, and to excite
them to demand a repeal of the Legislative Union.
" It has been and ever will be my earnest desire to ad-
minister the government of that country in a spirit of
strict justice and impartiality, and to co-operate with Par-
liament in effecting such amendments in the existing laws
as may tend to improve the social condition and to devel-
ope the natural resources of Ireland.
" From the deep conviction that the Legislative Union
is not less essential to the attainment of these objects than
to the strength and stability of the empire, it is my firm
determination, with your support, and under the blessing
of Divine Providence, to maintain inviolate that great bond
of connexion between the two countries.

" I have forborne from requiring any additional powers
for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and
welfare of my dominions, as well from my unwillingness
to distrust the efficacy of the ordinary law, as from my re-
liance on the good sense and patriotism of my people, and
on the solemn declarations of Parliament in support of the
Legislative Union.
" I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who
have influence and authority in Ireland, will discourage to
the utmost of their power a system of pernicious agitation
which disturbs the industry and retards the improvement
of that country, and excites feelings of mutual distrust and
animosity between different classes of my people."

IRELAND.

. THE NEXT STEP FOR REPEAL.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

Mr. O'Connell, at the last repeal meeting in Dublin,
read the following
" PLAN FOR TIIE RENEWED ACTION OF THE IRISH
PARLIAMENT.

" Firstly,—The Irish people recognise, acknowledge,
maintain, and will continue to preserve and uphold upon
the throne of Ireland her Majesty Queen Victoria, whom
God protect ! Queen by undoubted right and by heredi-
tary descent, of Ireland, and her heirs and successors for
ever.

" The people of Ireland recognise, acknowledge, main-
fain, and will continually preserve and uphold all the
prerogatives of her Majesty and of her heirs and succes-
sors, belonging to, and inherent in, the imperial crown of
Ireland ; and they will true allegiance bear—pure, undi-
vided, and undivisible—to her Majesty, her heirs, and
successors for ever.

" Secondly.—The people of Ireland acknowlenge, and
will maintain and preserve for ever, the privileges, here-
ditary- and personal, of peers of Ireland, together with the
legislative and judicial authority of the Irish House of
Lords, and the exercise of the prerogative in augmenting
and limiting the peerage, as the same did of right exist
before the year 1800.
" Thirdly,—The people of Ireland do firmly insist upon
the restoration of the Irish House of Commons, consisting
of three hundred representatives of the Irish people : and
claim, in the presence of their Creator, the right of the
people of Ireland to such restoration.
" They have submitted to the Union as being binding
as a law ; but they declare solemnly that it is not founded
on right, or on constitutional principle, and that it is not
obligatory upon conscience. They agree with the tory
attorney-general. Saurin, that the only binding power of
the union is the strength of the English domination.
They also agree with him that ' resistance to the union is
in the abstract a duty, and the exhibition of that resist-
ance a mere niatter of prudence.' They will, therefore,
resist the union by all legal, peaceful, and constitutional
means.
" Fourthly,—The plan for the restoration of the Irish
Parliament is as follows :-1. That the county members
should be increased to 173, in the manner hereinafter
specified. 2. That there should be 127 members returned
for cities and towns, in the manner hereinafter mentioned.
3. That the county of Carlow, being the only county in
Ireland in which there are less than 100,000 inhabitants,
should get an increase of one member, so as to have three
representatives. That every other county having above
100,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of two mem-
bers. That every county ranging above 150,000 inhabi-
tants, should get an increase of three members. That
every county ranging above 230,000 inhabitants should get
an increase of four members. That the county of Tippe-
rary having more than 400,000 inhabitants, but less than
500,000, should get an increase of eight members. That
the county of Cork basing more than 700,000 inhabitants,
should get an increase of ten members.
" Fifthly,—With respect to the towns and cities, it is
proposed that the city of Dublin, having more than 200,000
inhabitants, should have eight representatives, four for
the part north of the Liffey, and four for the part south of
the Liffey.
" Thp• be U • • f Dublin should continue, on

were lodged against several of the parties, who are known.
We have no doubt that Wall would have been murdered
if he had made his appearance on the quay, as their whole
vengeance would be wreaked on him. They had hatchets
cutting the side of the boat while others set her on fire.—
Tipperary Constitution.
AWFUL SCENE.—The new Roman Catholic chapel of
Kiikee was, as customary, on last Sabbath filled with a
dense congregation. Rev. Mr. O'Brien, the officiating
priest, had partaken of the chalice, and was descending
for the purpose of administering communion, when a
confused bus, or murmur of voices was heard in the body
of the chapel—next a sensation of alarm quickly spread
about, and then a sudden movement in the great multi-
tude was apparent, accompanied with faint exclamations
of terror. The commotion now became general, and a
violent rush was made to the chapel doors, all eyes being
raised to the gallery, which the fears of the congregation
had magnified into a mighty avalanche, falling upon their
heads with stone walls and roof, in one overwhelming
ruin. The panic soon became universal ; so that the
women and children started t,) their legs amid half sup-
pressed shrieks of agony and looks of indescribable pain.
Exhortations, brief but energetic, assured the excited
sufferers of safety, if they only kept their places, as there
was no real danger, but several persons hurried down
stairs, especially parents with their tender charge. In
a few minutes, the people's apprehensions were dispelled,
most happily without loss of life, though in the aisles men,
women, and children were thrown down in the heat of
the panic, trampled upon. and severely bruised ; shoes,
stockings, hats, caps, and cloaks were torn off in the first
desperate struggle to get out, and a cloud of dust was
raised, not unlike a smouldering fire, which if possible
added fuel to the flame. A little girl had her shoulder
dislocated, and several persons (not confined to females)
were observed in the chapel-yard from one fainting fit to
another. In the gallery, not one suffered injury, but
prayer-books, handkerchiefs, reticules, and sunshades
were abandoned in the flight of their owners. The priest
who had ineffectually laboured to appease the commotion,
now explained from the altar the cause of this fearful
tumult—the fall of a loose stone from one of the towers
which some timid persons construed into the falling of
the chapel.—Limerick Chronicle.

the basis of its present constituency, to send two members.
" It is proposed that the city of Cork having more than
100,000 inhabitants, should have five members.
" That the city of Limerick and town of Belfast, hav-
ing respectively more than 50,000 inhabitants, should send
four members each.
-f Galway and the cities

UNITED STATES, &c.

' It is proposed that the town ox 'away anu _
of Waterford and Kilkenny. having respectively more than
20,000 inhabitants, should each send three members to
parliament.
" That other towns, having about 7000 inhabitants,
should each send two members to parliament, and that
forty-nine other towns, next highest in the ratio of popu-
lations should send one member each.
" The following schedule of the different places to re-
turn members to the Irish parliament will show their
relative population, and the number of members to be
assigned to each.
[Here follows the schedule.l
" The population is taken from the returns of 1831,
which, having been made for a different purpose, and
without any reference whatever to the repeal of the union,
furnish a scale of unquestionable impartiality.
" Sixthly,—lt is proposed that the right of voting should
be what is called' household suffrage,' requiring six months
residence in the counties, with the addition in the towns
of married men, resident for twelve months, whether
householders or not.

" Seventhly,—lt is proposed that the mode of voting
for members of parliament should certainly be by ballot.
" Eighthly,—The monarch de
.facto of England, at all
times hereafter, whoever he may be, shall be monarch de
jure in Ireland. And so, in case of a future regency, the
regent de facto in England to be regent de jure in Ire-
land.
" Ninthly,—The connection between Great Britain and
Ireland, by means of the power, authority, and preroga-
tives of the crown, to be perpetual, and incapable of
chance, or any severance or separation.
" The foregoing plan to be carried into effect according
to recognized law and strict constitutional principle."

The first Irish Arms Bill was a purely whig measure;
and was brought into parliament by the Duke of Bedford,
the father of Lord John Russell.

The packet-ships Europe and Independence, from" New
York, have brought dates to the Ist and 7th instant re-
spectively,—the first arriving on Wednesday, the latter on
Thursday. The Independence performed the voyage in
sixteen days.
The crops throughout the Union, as also in Canada, are
favourobly spoken of. The case of Mrs. Gilmour, charged
with having murdered her husband in Scotland, had not
been decided. The views of the President and his cabinet
on the subject were daily looked for. The impression was
general that she would not be given up until the Supreme
Court of the United States had pronounced an opinion on
the clauses of the new treaty under which she is claimed.
Several sailors, charged with murder and piracy on board
a schooner called the Sarah Lavinia, were in custody at
New York, and the affair was undergoing investigation.
The cook, captain, and others belonging to the vessel had
been murdered by, it was believed, the parties in custody.
It was stated, in the news which came to hand a few
weeks back, that Mexico and Yucatan, mutually tired of
worrying each other, had agreed to live quietly for the
future. The accounts by these arrivals state that Mexico
was about making another effort to bring back her revolted
province, and the Yucatanese, anticipating another brush
with the discarded parent state, were bribing, by the offer
of high wages, a number of American sailors into their
service.
The cotton market at New York was dull, the price of
stocks rising, money abundant, and the rate of exchange
on England Bfl per cent.

Mr. Eneas Mcdonnell, in a letter to the Times, gives
the weekly receipts of the Repeal Association, from which
we learn that up to the 14th instant the sum of £28,026
2s. 10d. had been received during the present year. In
January last only £726 6s. 7d. was received, whilst in
July the enormous sum of £7,819 17s. Ild. was received.
THE MURDER OF LORD NORBURY.—A man named
Peter Doolan is now in custody 1 oaarged upon sworn infor-
mation as the actual murderer of Lord Norbury. It is
now about live years since the Earl of Norbury was assas-
sinated, in the open day, in a plantation on his own de-
mesne, and within view of his house.
On Sunday last, as a young man named Ryan was riding
through Cashel, his horse took fright at the noise of the
Tipperary temperance band, and ran away. Poor Ryan
was thrown on his head, and so severe were the injuries
he received that he expired in a few minutes. Those tem-
perance bands are a great nuisance on the Sabbath day.
POOR OF IRELAND.—When the House was in Com-
mittee on 'Wednesday night in the Commons, Mr. Smith
informed the House that there was funded in the 31 per
Cents. a sum of about £lB,OOO, the surplus of the sub-
scription of 1822 for the relief of the destitute poor in
the western and South-western counties of Ireland.

Inrsu NATIONAL. BOARD OF EDUCATION.—By the
ninth report of the Commissioners of National Education
in Ireland for 1842, it appeared that the national schools
had increased, during the year, from 2,337 to 9,721, and
the children on the rolls from 281,842 to 319,792; the
number of children having tripled since 1833, and that of
the schools being nearly fourfold.

AFFLICTING OCCURRENCE.—TWO young gentlemen,
of the names of Acton and Drought, having spent the day
on the mountains, grouse-shooting, were returning home
to Glencarrig on a jaunting-car, one on either side, when
Mr. Acton's gun went off, by some fatal accident, lodging
the contents in his rightbreast ; he was conveyed to a cot-
tage convenient, and surgical aid immediately procured,
but without effect, as he only survived two hours.—Dub-
lin Mail.

The great meeting of Protestant Ulster will take place
on the day and in the manner originally appointed. We
believe it will be better thus than otherwise; for Pro-
testantism is as unostentatious of its strength as it is firm
in its resolution ; and deliberation being the essence of the
movement, this point will be better achieved in a large as-
sembly-room than at an out-of-door meeting. The room
selected for the occasion will accommodate five thousand
persons ; admission will be by ticket ; every convenience
for reporting has been provided ; and the Most Noble the
Marquis of Downshire has consented to preside in the
chair.

The American Methodist Episcopal Church has had
an accession of 145,524 members, and 212 travelling and
586 local preachers, during the last year.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE POSTMASTER-
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.—On Tuesday. the
Ist instant, the Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe, Postmaster-
General of the United States, had a most narrow escape
from death by assassination, whilst on board the steamer
Georgia, on his passage from Portsmouth to Washington
via Baltimore. It seems that Mr. Wickliffe and a young
man named J. M`Lean Gardner went on board at Balti-
more. Mr. Wickliffe and Gardner were seen in a casual
conversation, which soon terminated. When dinner was
announced, Mr. Wickliffe, on passing Gardner, who was
asleep, touched him for the purpose of waking him, when
that person sprang to his feet, drew a large dirk knife,
and pierced it into the right breast of Mr. \V., the blade
striking against the bone, and turning downward about
an inch, but most fortunately not striking deep enough to
prove dangerous. Immediately on the wound being in-
flicted Gardner was seized, and, on examination before
the court, it appeared that he was subject to fits of insa-
nity; and he is, therefore, to be confined until his reason
is restored.—American paper.

THE REPEALEES.—The scene of the usual weekly Sab-
bath desecration on Sunday week was Roscommon, where
we are informed that 200,000 persons (repeal arithmetic)
were ccngregated. Lord French, and several gentlemen
of that name, were in attendance, with scores of priests.
There is not one particle of novelty in the proceedings,
nor a line in Mr. O'Connell's speeches worth reporting.
At the usual Corn Exchange meeting on Monday, there is
just as little worth alluding to, except the amount of the
week's rent, which was announced at £1,138 Bs. 7d., and
the meeting adjourned to the following day to enable Mr.
O'Connell to pour out some billingsgate on Lords
Brougham and Beaumont.

DEATH OF MR. RICHARD PlM.—With the deepest re-
gret we announce the death of Mr. Richard Pim, super- i
intendent of the mechanical department of the Dublin and
Kingstown Railway. He bad been labouring under se-
vere illness for some months, but within the last few
weeks improved so much in health as to be able to take
carriage airings every day. On Saturday he drove out as
usual, and seemed improved in strength and spirits, but
it pleased an inscrutable Providence to release him at an
early hour yesterday morning from his earthly sufferings.
An effusion of blood on the brain was the immediate cause
of his death.—Dublin paper.
DARING OUTRAGE DY TWELVE ARMED MEN.—On
the night of Saturday last, the 19th instant, a party of
men, twelve in number, armed with guns, blunderbusses
and pistols, broke into the house of a man named John
Carroll, residing at Rathmore ; they effected their entrance
by breaking the door. They pulled Carroll out of his bed
and beat him in the most savage manner, and inflicted
some severe wounds on his head and body ; they broke all
the furniture the poor man was possessed of, and brought
him out of his house for the purpose, they said, of shoot-
ing him—but fortunately he made his escape by taking to
his heels. The parties then pursued, but he succeeded in
his escape, having nothing on but his shirt, and got shelter
in a neighbour's house, a mile distant, almost lifeless from
the loss of blood. The only cause that can be assigned for
this outrage on Carroll is, that some short time back he
summoned some persons for stealing timber from Mr.
Synge, of Rathmore Castle, and to whom Carroll was
herd.—P enagh Guardian.
BURNING OF A BoAT.—A most daring outrage was
perpetrated near Carrick-on-Suir on Monday morning.
