IRELAND.
The Cork Constitution of the 5th instant announces the arrival of food in the harbours of Ireland- " We mentioned on Tuesday the arrival at Cove of a vessel (the Atlas) with Indian corn. Another (the Adirondack) had arrived on the same mission about a fortnight previously. They are large American liners, registered 1,000 tons; and between them they have brought, probably, about 5,000 barrels of corn meal and Indian corn. They were reported at the Customhouse on Tuesday, and yester- day commenced discharging the meal at Hatilbowline, whence it will be supplied as occasion may require. The corn, or a portion of it, they will bring to the quay for conveyance, for grinding, to the Lee Mills, which have been taken by the firm of N. and I. Cummins, for either the Messrs. Baring or the Government— the latter is the general opinion, and we believe the correct one. A vessel similarly laden is stated to have sailed for Waterford, and another for Limerick; and several others are, we understand, expected here. This is a prudent and commendable precaution, and let Government have the praise of it."
Mr. Henry Martley, Q.C., has been appointed Law Adviser at the Castle, in place of Mr. Brewster. We believe the appointment has given general satisfaction, and is highly popular both at the bar and with the public.— Dublin Evening Mail.

It was reported in Dublin on Wednesday, that the Earl of Desart, who is re- siding in the county of Kilkenny, had been shot at and wounded. Another report said that he had escaped unhurt. Both were mere rumours.
A murder has been committed at Dungan, in Clare, by a party of niffians who visited several houses to maltreat the inmates. They beat a young man so dreadfully that he died the next day : they also assailed his mother, a widow; beating her, and breaking her collar-bone. These outrages are supposed to have originated in revenge for the discharge of some labourers by the tenants of lands at Dangan.
