The Dublin Election Committee are directed to assemble on the 29th instant. An immense multitude assembled at Cashel on Wednesday to address Lord Mulgrave ; Viscount Lismore in the chair. Lord Dunally and the Earl of Derby sent letters apologizing for their inabi- lity to attend the meeting, and expressing warm approbation of Its object.
