DREYFUS MUNICIPAL INCOME, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Meeting of Stockholders 
to be held on Friday, May 16, 2008 

     This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Dreyfus Municipal Income, Inc. (the “Fund”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund to be held on Friday, May 16, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”), 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 14, 2008 are entitled to be present and to vote at the meeting. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each Fund share held and fractional votes for each fractional Fund share held. It is essential that stockholders complete, date, sign and return the proxy card they receive. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. If the enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned, it nevertheless may be revoked by a proxy given later. To be effective, such revocation must be received prior to the meeting. In addition, any stockholder who attends the meeting in person may vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby cancelling any proxy previously given. As of March 14, 2008, the Fund had outstanding the following number of shares:

Common    Auction Preferred 
Stock Outstanding    Stock Outstanding 
20,594,744    4,000 

     It is estimated that proxy materials will be mailed to stockholders of record on or about March 26, 2008. The principal executive office of the Fund is located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. Copies of the Fund’s most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports are available upon request, without charge, by writing to the Fund at 144 Glenn Curtiss Boulevard, Uniondale, New York 11556-0144, or by calling toll free 1-800-334-6899.

     A quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the meeting. If a proposal is to be voted upon by only one class of the Fund’s shares, a quorum of that class of shares (the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class) must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting in order for the proposal to be considered. The Fund has two classes of capital stock: Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Auction Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, liquidation preference $25,000 per share (the “APS”). The APS is further divided into Series A and Series B. Currently, no proposal is expected to be presented at the meeting that would require separate voting for each Series of APS.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Fund’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes with the term of office of one class expiring each year. It is proposed that stockholders of the Fund consider the election of two Class III Directors to serve for three-year terms and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The individual nominees (the “Nominees”) proposed for election are listed below. Each Nominee currently serves as a Director of the Fund.

     Each Nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and has agreed to continue to serve as a Director if elected. Biographical information about each Nominee is set forth below. Biographical information about the Fund’s Continuing Directors, information on each Nominee’s and Continuing Director’s ownership of Fund shares and other relevant information is set forth on Exhibit A.


     Under the terms of the Fund’s Charter, holders of the APS voting as a single class are entitled, to the exclusion of holders of the Common Stock, to elect two directors of the Fund. One such Director, Whitney I. Gerard, was elected by APS holders in May of last year as a Class II Director whose term expires in 2010. The other APS designee is George L. Perry. Mr. Perry is currently a Nominee up for election as a Class III Director.

     Voting with regard to the election of Directors will be as follows: holders of Common Stock and APS will vote together as a single class with respect to the election of Class III Director Joseph S. DiMartino, but APS holders will vote separately, to the exclusion of holders of the Common Stock, with respect to the election of Class III Director George L. Perry, who is nominated to represent the APS.

     The persons named as proxies on the accompanying proxy card(s) intend to vote each such proxy for the election of the Nominees, unless stockholders specifically indicate on their proxies the desire to withhold authority to vote for election to office. It is not contemplated that any Nominee will be unable to serve as a Director for any reason, but if that should occur prior to the meeting, the proxyholders reserve the right to substitute another person or persons of their choice as nominee or nominees.

     Neither the Nominees nor any of the Continuing Directors are “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As independent directors of investment companies, they play a critical role in overseeing fund operations and policing potential conflicts of interest between the fund and its investment adviser and other service providers. The following tables present information about the Nominees including their principal occupation and other board memberships and affiliations. The address of each Nominee is 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.

     The Fund has standing audit, nominating and compensation committees, each comprised of its Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. The function of the audit committee is (1) to oversee the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Fund’s financial statements and (2) to assist in the Board of Directors’ oversight of the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance. A copy of the Fund’s Audit Committee Charter, which describes the audit committee’s purposes, duties and powers, was attached as an Exhibit to last year’s proxy statement dated March 20, 2007.

     The Fund’s nominating committee is responsible for selecting and nominating persons as members of the Board of Directors for election or appointment by the Board and for election by stockholders. Each nominating committee member is “independent” as defined by the American Stock Exchange. A copy of the Fund’s Nominating Committee Charter and Procedures was attached as an Exhibit to last year’s proxy statement dated March 20, 2007 (the “Nominating Committee Charter”). In evaluating potential nominees, including any nominees recommended by stockholders, the committee takes into consideration the factors listed in the Nominating Committee Charter, including character and integrity, business and professional experience, and whether the committee believes the person has the ability to apply sound and independent business judgment and would act in the interest of the Fund and its stockholders. The committee will consider recommendations for nominees from stockholders submitted to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o The Dreyfus Corporation Legal Department, 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10166, and including information regarding the recommended nominee as specified in the Nominating Committee Charter.

     The function of the compensation committee is to establish the appropriate compensation for serving on the Board. The Fund also has a standing pricing committee comprised of any one Director. The function of the pricing committee is to assist in valuing the Fund’s investments.

     The Fund’s audit commitee met five times and its compensation and nominating committees met once during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The Fund’s pricing committee did not meet during the Fund’s last fiscal year.

     Each Fund Director also serves as a director of other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated on the basis of net assets, with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Joseph S. DiMartino, receiving an additional 25% of such compensation. The Fund reimburses Directors for their expenses. Emeritus Directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer and per meeting attended fee of one-half the amount paid to them as Directors. The Fund does not pay any other remuneration to its officers or Directors, and does not have a bonus, pension, profit-sharing or retirement plan.

     The aggregate amount of compensation paid to each Nominee by the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and by all funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds for which the Nominee was a Board member (the number of portfolios of such funds is set forth in parenthesis next to the Nominee’s total compensation) for the year ended December 31, 2007, was as follows:

    Aggregate    Total Compensation from 
    Compensation from    the Fund and Fund Complex 
Name of Nominee    Fund*    Paid to Nominee (**) 
Joseph S. DiMartino    $914    $819,865 (196) 
 
George L. Perry    $735    $115,500 (33) 

*      Amount does not include the cost of office space, secretarial services and health benefits for the Chairman and expenses reimbursed to Directors for attending Board meetings, which in the aggregate amounted to $1,292 for all Directors as a group.
 
**      Represents the number of separate portfolios comprising the investment companies in the fund complex, including the Fund, for which the Nominee serves as a Board member.
 

     For the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the number of Board meetings held and the aggregate amount of compensation paid by the Fund to each Continuing Director and by all funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds for which such person is a Board member are set forth in Exhibit A. Certain other information concerning the Fund’s Directors and officers also is set forth in Exhibit A.

Required Vote

     The election of a Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast at the Fund’s meeting for the election of Directors.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     The 1940 Act requires that the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditors” or “auditors”) be selected by a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the

3


Fund. The audit committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Fund’s independent auditors. At a meeting held on July 19, 2007, the Fund’s audit committee approved and the Fund’s Board, including a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, ratified the selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the Fund’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. E&Y, a major international accounting firm, has acted as auditors of the Fund since the Fund’s organization. After reviewing the Fund’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s audit committee recommended to the Fund’s Board that such statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Report to stockholders. A copy of the committee’s report is attached as Exhibit B to this proxy statement.

Independent Auditor Fees and Services

     The following chart reflects fees paid to E&Y in the Fund’s last two fiscal years. For Service Affiliates (i.e., Dreyfus and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Dreyfus that provides ongoing services to the Fund), such fees represent only those fees that required pre-approval by the audit committee. All services provided by E&Y

were pre-approved as required.         
    Fund1    Service Affiliates1 
Audit Fees    $36,008/$36,008    $0/$0 
Audit-Related Fees2    $21,922/$42,410    $0/$0 
Tax Fees3    $3,235/$2,313    $0/$0 
Aggregate Non-Audit Fees4    $0/$0    $443,981/$1,667,704 

 
1 Fiscal years ended September 30, 2006/September 30, 2007.     
2 Services to the Fund consisted of (i) agreed-upon procedures related to compliance with basic maintenance requirements 
for auction preferred stock; and (ii) security counts required by Rule 17f-2 under the 1940 Act. 
3 Services to the Fund consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. fed- 
eral, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments; and 
(iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be 
acquired or held.         
4 Rendered to the Fund and Service Affiliates.     

     Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Fund’s audit committee has established policies and procedures (the “Policy”) for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of E&Y’s engagements for non-audit services to the Fund and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence. The Policy and services covered therein are considered annually. In addition, proposed services requiring pre-approval but not covered by the Policy are considered from time to time as necessary.

     Auditor Independence. The Fund’s audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which did not require pre-approval are compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.

     A representative of E&Y is expected to be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Service Providers

In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personal ly or by telephone, and the Fund may pay persons holding shares of the Fund in their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. Authorizations to execute proxies may be obtained by fax or by telephonic instructions in accordance with procedures designed to authenticate the stockholder’s identity. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the stockholder will be asked to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to con firm that the stockholder has received the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card in the mail. Within 72 hours of receiving stockholder’s solicited telephonic voting instructions, a confirmation will be sent to the stockholder to ensure that the vote has been taken in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions and to provide a telephone number to call immediately if the stockholder’s instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation.

Under Maryland law, abstentions do not constitute a vote “for” or “against” a matter and will be disregarded in determining “votes cast” on an issue.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee oversees the Fund’s financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditors” or “auditors”), who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Fund’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In addition, the committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Fund including the auditors’ letter and the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

The committee discussed with the Fund’s independent auditors the overall scope and plan for the audit. The committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Fund’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Fund’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the board of directors (and the board has approved) that the audited financial statements for the Fund be included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2007.
