IRELAND.
The Earl of Carlisle received the Dublin Corporation on Tuesday to take his farewell. They presented a complimentary address, and he replied in a similar strain. It had been his happy privilege, he said, to witness an unusual prevalence of tranquillity and the most decisive signs of improvement. He looked with confidence to the future.
" Among all the changes and chances of political events, there are eternal principles constant and uniform in their operation. I do not see how the fortunes of Ireland are to wane if she will only persevere in the path of steady industry, and teach her sons that there is a duty above hating each other's creeds—which is to love each other. I esteem it a signal favour to be enabled to close my term of office as I began it, without one single speck of personal animosity or bitterness in the entire retrospect or in the crowded memories it will bequeath to me, under the sanction of the public prosperity and repose. I have passed among you a period of great social happiness, and I need not dissemble the regret with which I see it brought to an end. I fervently pray. to Almighty God that He may ever continue to pour down His best blessings on your ancient city and your lovely land."
After two other addresses had been presented, Lord Carlisle departed from Dublin, and embarked for England.
After the departure of Lord Carlisle, the Privy Council assembled, and the Archbishop of Dublin, Lord Justice Blackburn, and Lord Seaton, were sworn in Lords-Justices. Mr. Whiteside was sworn in as a Privy Councillor.
Mr. Whiteside was elected for Enniskillen on Tuesday, without op- position. He was proposed by Mr. Paul Dane, and seconded by Dr. Ovendon. His speech consisted mainly of a glorification of his own party, his own labours as a senator, and the institutions of England. Several. candidates had been " nibbling " at the constituency, but they had all disappeared before the nomination.
Colonel Taylor was returned on Thursday, without opposition, for the County of Dublin.
