IRELAND.
Lord Stanley was to have Ireland and the Home Office ; and the Orangemen were already lifting up their horns., Lord Sandon, the mover of the amendment, was already installed in the War-office ; and Lord Winchilsea was packing up his traps for Dublin Castle.—Dublin Evening Post. [Sheer nonsense.] At a numerous meeting held on Tuesday at the Mansionhouse in in Dublin, resolutions were passed in opposition to the workhouse and
other clauses of the Irish Poor Bill. It was generally agreed that some measure for the relief of the poor should be passed. Mr. La- touche, Mr. Crossthwaite, Lord Milton-1i, the Reverend Mr. O'Mal- ley, and many of the must influential inhabitants of' Dublin, were pre- sent at this meeting.
For some weeks past, meetings have been in progress in all parts of
the county of Cork, which are well deserving of attention, as they are likely to have no inconsiderable influence in forwarding a settlement of the tithe question. If those meetings were of die ordinary character of an agitation movement, I should not think them worth referring to ; but they ure, on the contrary, an expiession of the opinion of men of all parties, including manly of the Conservative landowners, in favour a prompt and final settlement of the law of titues. I have read over the proceedings of those meetings, the speeches of Protestant Magis- trates and Roman Catholic landholders ; and, whilst there is a careful avoidance of any thing in the shape of insult or reflection upon the clergy, the evils of the present system are dwelt upon. and the neces- sity of a prompt and effectual remedy earnestly enforced.—Dubilis Correspondent of the Times.
