The demand for the great essential o
Irish prosperity is swelling in the provinces
1t certainly cannot be checked by the con

Board: We quote from the Irish Times
CAT the Board of Harbor Commissioners
meeting at Drogheda, Francis BrodigaD,
ESQ.,, >. r., moved, pursuant to notice, a
resolution in favor of Home Rule, and pc
titiol to Parliament founded thereon,
! which was seconded by NJ. Cullen, Eco, T.
Z. There were fourteen commissioners
present, Patrick Mathews, ESD, presiding
An amendment having been proposed as to
the unsuitability of the place for introduce
old Repeater, at first declined voting on the
division; however, when it was found there
were seven votes in favor of the resolution,
to six for the amendment, the Chairman
then exercised his right, and first voted as
Commissioners, and finally casting vote
as Chairman, against the resolution, and In
favor of the amendment, which latter was
declared carried" In Athlone a different
rule of conduct obtained. At q meeting of
the Town Commissioners OF that spirited
borough, last week, the following resolu-
Sy M y b M ks aSi
unanimously adopted: Resolved-That
we, the Town Commissioners of Athlone,
do dc. hereby appreciate the noble efforts Of
established in Dublin, for the purpose of
pressing on the Imperial Parliament, in .
legal and constitutional manner, the just
and lawful rights of the Irish people to
legislate for themselves, az it is our firm
conviction that Ireland can never prosper
to the full extent Of her national resources
until she has the power of managing her
own affairs" Tie Chairman could not
understand how such a question had been |
failure up to the present, although there |
was hardly an Irishman but wished to see |
q parliament in College Green. Mr.: Nc |
Manus said the movement was only in its |
question of the day. A great cause of OPP |
position has been lately removed, and our |
brethren can now join in this |
thing not possible in the days |
of O'Connell. Even in Longford there are |
signs of life. At a meeting of the Commits |
sioneIs Of that town, held come days since,
Mr.. Thomas Morrow said, when the sub |
ject of Home Rule was mentioned: "I
was Repeater forty years ago, and have |
the interest of Ireland still as much at |
heart, and admire the efforts now made |
in favor of Home Rule. We want a repeal |
of the Union, and we have every right as a |
public body to consider the matter serious |
~, and express, in the strongest language, |
that native parliament would benefit the |
social and commercial pros |
perity of Ireland" Mr.. Wilson, another |
said: every circumstance |
connected with the prosperity of Ireland
should receive our attention, and would |
propose that q petition expressing our |
views should be sent to the House Of Par |
lament. am sure many of the members |
are favorable to it, and 1 should like to see |
US levy our own taxes, and settle all our
fortnight in London, and when I compare |
its grandeur and all its ornamental build |
iDgs and places Of recreation with Dublin, |
the latter falls in comparison. The rela- |
tive value of both cities 10 quite different, |
and when 1 consider that S16, GOO Of Dub |
it strikes me that we should all vote for |
Home Rule, and propose that the clerk |
issue circulars on this subject to all the |
members, and that q special meeting be !
hold on the 2lst, at three o'clock, for the
purpose Of considering the matter" This
adopted by the Board Of Guardians of the |
Millstreet Union to both Houses of Parlia- |
ment, praying for q restoration Of her ma |
tive Parliament 20 ireland, was submitted |
to the Galway Board Of Guardians at its |
last meeting. Mr.. Marcus Lynch, express,
would have Legislature to direct her own |
affairs, moved that the petition be adopted. |
Mr.. Redington seconded the resolution, |
which was unanimously agreed to.
DEATH OF THE LORD MAYOR OF suBLIN.
The citizens of Dublin received great |
shock on Tuesday by the announcement |
that the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. Pat |
rick Bul6n, died on the previous night. |
Few were aware that he had been ailing at |
all, and this naturally intensified the sor-
row which the tidings of his death would
in any case have occasioned. 1t is simple
truth to say that no occupant of the Mayor
atty of this city has ever been more highly
esteemed for his public and private worth
than Mr.. Bul6n. In the commercial world
in which he raised himself to high place,
he won a reputation for spirited enterprise
and spotless integrity. In social life his
amiable qualities secured him tie warm
friendship of all with whom he came in
contact. And in the world of politics he
held his patriotic course undeviatingly,
but without evoking the enmity of his op-
ponents. 1t is not wonderful that such
man should have been raised by the unani-
nous vote of his fellow Corporators, with
