KILKENNY arr LOYAL ADDRESS.

(FROM TOR MODRRAY‘PR OF SATURDAY.)
On Friday a " Loyal Address," of rather a novel
nature, was voted in the Kilkenny City Court House'
by a meeting of citizens, convened without the sanc-
tion of the Mayor, and presided over by Richard
Collis, Esq. The import of this loyal address may
be clearly deduced from the second and concluding
paragraph, literally the same as the Amendment
which Oeorge Bryan, Esq. moved at the Connty
Meeting, and of which the substance is fairly giver
from the Modeitrior, in the preceding column.
(The paragraph thus referred to is given in the fol-
lowing terms, which we need scarcely observe, imply
a certain consciousn. as of the incorrectness of the re-
presentation :)--

" That we beg leave most heartily to congratulate
your Majesty upon the coaiplete and lionsoirahle rescue'
of your Illustrious Consort, from a series of foul, daring,
and atrocious persecutions, carried on against her by
your Majesty's Ministers—that we entreat the dismissal
of those odious and unfaithful servants from the station
they have dishonoured—and that we humbly hope your
Majesty will be graciously pleased to take back to your
arms your illustrious and innocent Queen ! ! !"
The foregoing we give only as the substance of
Captain Bryan's amendment, and shall be happy to
correct any inaccuracy to which our attention may be
properly directed. However defective in verbal pre-
cision the above should prove, we believe it faithfully
conveys the spirit of the gallant officer's amendment.

CITY OF YOB K.
—asp—

On Monday last, the Right Hon. Lord Dundas was
unanimously elected Lord Mayor of this city for the en-
suing year. The Lord Mayor (George Peacock, Esq.),
bad, previous to this meeting of the Corporation, given
notice to every member, that it was intended to propose
" a Petition to both Houses of Parliament, requesting
them to exert their influence for the restoration of the
Queen's name in the Liturgy of the Church of England,
and for the restoration to her Majesty, of all her rights
and dignities, which are due to her exalted rank, as
Queen Consort of these Realms." His Lordship, in
bringing forward the business said, though he was aware
that on a charter day, any subject might be discussed,
&c. without previous notice being given, yet he had
taken this step, that it might nut be said, the petition
had been smuggled is a curers.. Mr.:lineman HOTHAM,
in a manly and constitutional addrees..moved the
Petition, which was seconded by Mr. Bewlay, Foreman
of the Common Council. Mr. Alderman Chaluner,
M. P., deprecated in strong terms the conduct of Minis•
ters towards the Queen, sibling, that the only way to
tranquillise the public mind, was to restore her to all her
rights, privileges, and honours. The Petition was nna-
nimously adopted ; and it was agreed that the two
Members of Parliament fur the Cite. should be requested
to present it to the House of Commons, and to support
the sanie in that House ; and that Earl Fitswilliam,
Cord ()limbs, and Cord Holland, Aottld be requested to
present the one to the Horse of Peers.

A petition is in course of signature at Dartmouth,
addressed to the House of Commons, praying for the
restoration of her Majesty's mume to the Liturzy,
and the restitution of all her other rights and privi-
leges.

Yesterday a meeting was held at the Mansion-house,
at which many of the most considerable merchants,
bankers, traders, and members of great public bodies
(including several Members of Parliament) were pre-
sent, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
calling a public meeting of merchants, Scc., upon the
subject of the late declaration, professing loyalty to
the King, and purporting to be the declaration of the
mercantile body. The gentlemen present determined
to request the Lord Mayor to preside at the intended
meeting ; and it is the design of those who are to take
the principal part in the discussion to propose a reso-
lution with reference to the late meeting, to which
they received no invitation, and which, in fact, was
got up without the knowledge of the great mass of the
citizens of London. The proposition being submitted
to the Lord Mayor, his Lordship immediately con-
sented to take the chair, and offered the Egyptian-hall
for the accommodation of the meeting, which will be
held on Wednesday next.
Yesterday, at four o'clock, a public vestry was ap-
pointed to he held in Shoreditch church, fur the pur-
pose of petitioning the House of Commons to endea-
vour to obtain the restoration of her Majesty's name
to the Liturgy. It happened that it was necessary
fur the clergyman to read the funeral service in the
church about four o'clock, which induced the pro-
moters of the meeting to postpone the commencement
of business until nearly five o'clock, at which time,
however, it was found that, in consequence of the de-
lay which had taken place, the meeting was likely to
be but thinly attended, and it was agreed to adjourn
till Tuesday next.
By accounts from Bombay to the end of August, it
appears that his Excellency Governor Elphinstone had
been obliged, in order to stop the depredations com-
mitted on British property by the pirates in the Ara-
bian Gulf, to despatch a squadron for the purpose.
Two vessels arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres,
but the dates are only a few days later than those pre-
viously received. They, however, allude to a fresh
contest between the Pederals and Buenos Ayreans, and
deplore the continuation of anarchy and misunder-
standings with the interior. No other accounts had
been received from Chili except relating to the sailing
of, the expedition.

And affluence glade the eye ;
'Tis the poor wan'drer's fate to roam,

Invites to soft repose,
Reflect where lies the wanderer's head,
What hand relieves his woes.
Oh Charity, celestial maid.
Thy blissful power impart ;
Be every bosom warmed to aid
The outcast wanderer's heart.
