Mr. Sharman Crawford has written a long letter to Mr.
O'Connell in reply to some remarks made by the latter in his speech to the Trades Union at Dublin. Mr. Crawford reiterates his assertion that the Irish patronage has been given to Mr. O'Connell in return fur his support of Government. He condemns the dissolution of the National Association, on the ground that unlimited confidence ought not to be placed in Ministers ; and contrasts Mr. O'Connell's advice to the people of Ireland to be quiet, with his recommendation to the Re- formers at Stockport to agitate.
The Lord- Lieutenant has given the valuable rectory of Dunmore to Mr. Lyons, known as Marcus Beresford's dismissed citrate; and the living of Ballysax in Kildare to Mr. Bermingham, one of the few clergymen connected with Dublin College who supported the Liberal candidate at the late election.
