IRELAND.

The Lord-Lieutenant was present on Tuesday at the yearly examination of the teachers in training at the National Schools in Marlborough Street, Dublin. He gave his youthful audience, some appropriate and practical advice on the occasion.

I am happy to BOO among you who now sit before me, as well as among those who are gathered behind me, members of different religious persuasions. Now, I trust I should be the very last person to call upon you to undervalue the importance of your different religious convictions ; but I think you will yourselves have been able to ascertain during your sojourn here how much good and worth there may be among the members of different persuasions; and you will have derived no better lesson here than if in your future lives you inculcate those results of your own happy experience upon those who will be placed 'under your charge. Inculcate upon them the love of learning, for that is your special mission as schoolmasters ; inculcate upon them the love of God, for -that i your foremost duty as Christian men ; and, as a branch, a main branch, of that love and the measure of your own experience here, inculcate upon them the love of one another ; and may the blessing of the Almighty be always with you!"

The Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland, with Archbishop Cullen at their head, have been actively engaged in supporting the movement which originated in London for the abolition of the Roman Catholic oath.

Dr. Newman has resigned, or is about to resign, the Rectorship of the Catholic University at Dublin. It is said he is anxious to get back to his home, his books, and missionary duties.

Mr. Smith O'Brien perseveres in limiting his interference in polities to the "occasional expression of his opinion." He recently declined to attend a dinner given at Rathkeale to Archdeacon Fitzgerald, but he wrote a letter advooating Repeal and Tenant-right. In the absence of a national legislature he thinks that the interests of Ireland can be best protected by a party in independent opposition.
