IRELAND.

Mr. O'Connell's collectors have made up their account of parishes that have already paid the Rent, and the proceeds amount to 12,F410/. This is WO/. above last year's amount. It is said, that when all the parishes have paid up, about 2,00a more may be expected.— Times Dublin Correspondent. [The readers of the Spectator will remember that we tdways refused credence to the statements in the Government journals, that a deficiency in the Rent would prove the decline of O'Connell's influence in Ireland. The papers in question produced no evidence in proof of their repeated assertions ; and it appears that they had none.] There are nine proclamations in the Dublin Gazette, offering rewards for the discovery of the perpetrators of as many distinct outrages.

A vessel, named the Martha, laden with mahogany, on her voyage to Liverpool, was brought into Cove on Sunday night by four pilots. The Captain was tied down in his berth, four feet of water were in the hold, and the eight survivors of the crew were almost in a state of starvation. These men told a strange story of the madness of the Captain ; who, they said, had killed the mute and one of the crew, and dreadfully wounded two others with a tomahawk. The Captain is riot now in- sane, and declares that he never has been : the mate died a natural death, he says, after having acted in a mutinous manner. Before the Magistrates, the sailors told a different story of the death of the mate ; who was thrown, they now say, overboard by the Captain. The affair is in a train of inquiry, but there is reason to believe that the crew mutinied.
