IRELAND.

Mr. Barrett, the proprietor of the Pilot, now in Kilmainham gaol, was served on Tuesday last with the following notice from the Irish Stamp-office.

•• Sir—In consequence of your hosing received judgment for printing and publishing a seditious libel. the Commissioners of Stamps 11,1Ve ordered that, in ;misname of the f2Oth section of the act 55 Geo. III. chap. SO, you shall not from henceforth be supplied with stamped paper for printin2 any newspaper tyon. •• I have also to acquaint you that you ate no longer entitled to print or publish the .Pilot newspaper."

Upon reference to the Act of Parliament, it appears that it is peremp- tory in its terms; and prohibits the Stamp Distributors from furnishing any newspaper proprietor, convicted of a "seditious libel," with stamps for his paper. The act seas passed in 181.5; but was eever enforced except against Mr. Barrett. Its existence appears to have entirely

the pro-• escaped the notice even of Mr. O'Connell. If the suppression of - Pilot is aimed at, the design will probably he defeated ; • "16' prietors of the Morning Register have undertaken to pri• edition of their paper On the days when the Pilot usu,... .'t a see(mq which, it is declared, shall be an t quivalent for that '41Y "Pears' and

It appears Mr. Garrett Barry, M. P. for Cork, was recently heard to say he would not vote for Repeal this session, and therefore some of the electors declared he should resign. Mr. Barry came into Cork on Saturday for that purpose, with his resignation written ; but the interference of a few friends, who requested him not to agitate the county by an election at this crisis, prevented the exposé, and it is now understood he will vote for Repeal.—Clare Journal.

It will be remembered, that sometime ago the proprietor of the Castlebar Telegraph was, in Galway, fined 2001., and that he then en- dured imprisonment for nearly six months for a publication, prosecuted at the instance of Lord Sligo. Since then, he has been proceeded against for damages for the same publication by the same nobleman, and as fined 251d. with lid. costs. In reply to the report which his

Lordship's friends have most industriously circulated, that in taking

these varied proceedings his Lordship sought but the vindication of character, and that he would in the last case rest upon the verdict, and not claim the penalty, we have now to state' that Mr. Cavendish's attorney has just been served with an enormous bill of costs-for 245?.; that being within only 5/. of the damages. So much for the rumoured magnanimous intentions !—Cast/ebur Telegraph.

Last week, no less than five gay Lotharios, who Fad assisted each
