At a public meeting of the nobility, gentry, bankers, merchants, and citizens of the City of Lublin, held on Tuesday, the 15th March, 1831, at the Royal Est:lmage, The Right Huu. the Lord Mayor in the Chair. Moved by the Duke of Leinster ; seconded by John David Latouche, Esq : " Resolved—That the (+mike of the hue.), rant meaaur' of Reform submitted to the House of Cumulous by Lora John Russell, in concert with his Majesty's Ministers, appears to us eminently calculated to promote the future peace, lawny, and prosperity of the British Empire, and is consequently entitled to the cordial approbation and unani. mous support of the people. Moved by Lorl Clonettrry ; seconded by— Curran, Esq. " Resolved,—The. %vitae we tender to his Majesty and the Govern. meat our warmest gea.hode, for the boon thus intended to be conferred on the country, and the assurance of our hearty, zealous, and unqvalified support in carryino, ids great measure low effect, we. at the same time, hutnlily represent, behalf of ourselves and of the whole people of Ireland, that we arc entitled to the most ample and deliberate inquiry into the state of the Irish representation in Parliament ; and that we include in our address to the Sovereign, and in our petitions to the Legislature an humble prayer, that whatever weight or influence is allowed to the people of Great Britain in the Legislature—whether in relation to their number or their property—the same measure, both of rights and franchise', shall be conceded to the people of Ireland, as far as the different nature of their tenures of property, in the two countries, will permit." Count de Sails has issued instructions to his highly respectable agent, Mr. Creery, to 'educe the rents on his extensive estate near Tauderagee, ss. per acre, from Ist. November, 1829. George the Fourth's tradesmen's bills arc to undergo a strict scrutiny by a select committee. The amoont of some of them is almost incredible, many of the articles not having been accounted for to the royal heir. There are various extraordinary rumours afloat, and some official persons are in a very uneasy situation. A melancholy spectacle was witnessed in Cavan this day—the execution of five men for the murder of Jane Dane. They appeared one after the other at the fatal drop, anti every man of thew declared in the most solemn and Impressive manner, api,ealing to that God before whom they were about to appear in an instant, and with whom they exyected to be eternally happy, that they were wholly innocent of the crime for which they were to suffer. They were attended by the Rev. Messrs. Reilly and Smith, and evinced the utmost piety and resignation. Dr. Doyle, in a late pamphlet on the Poor Laws, says—" The Irish poor are now preserve,: from actual starvation ; it would not be just or true to say they are supported, but their lives are now generally pre. served by the voluntary offerings of the industrious classes alone ; and if these classes hare been able hitherto, without ruin to themselves, to save their destitute biethren float perishing of want, with what colour of truth can it be alleged, that the additional expenditure to be assigned by a poor law for the maintenance of paupers would eat up the whole rental ? There is great reason to suspect, that ,he per. sons who to,ject on this ground to the introduction of a poor law, have either nut duly considered the subject, or arc influ. .need in their jegrnent by a fear that they would themaelres be subjected to any portion cf that unavoidable burthen of feeding the poor. from which they have hitherto successively endeavoured to keep' themselves altogi they exempt. These persons are forced to admit that their owe rent.rolls have elves:ad two, three, or four hundred per cent. within the lust forty mare, the troy period daring which pauperism has been regularly progressing in Ireland ; but when there is a question of relieving that pauperism by the slightest deduction from those rent. rolls, they exclaim—`• You will hand over our estates to be devoured by the poor." There is no truth, or justice, or Christian charity, or knowledge of the state of Ireland, in assertions like the above. They are the fruit of preconceived errors, or of a selfishness, odious alike to Gotiiina man."
