IRELAND.

After a long delay, the seat on the Queen's Bench left vacant by the death of Judge Moore has been given to Sergeant O'Brien. Mr. Herify George Hughes, formerly Solicitor-General, has been reappointed to that office, in the room of Mr. Christian. Both the gentlemen are Roman Catholics.

Mr. Christian's promotion renders an election necessary in Limerick. The candidates are Major Gavin and Mr. John Ball.

Mr. Rickard Deasy Q.C. has been appointed third Sergeant, in the room of Sergeant now Judge O'Brien.
