IRELAND.
The changes in the Irish law appointments are now determined on. The Attorney-General is to have the vacant seat in the King's Bench ; Mr. O'Loughlen is to be Attorney, and Mr. Richards Solicitor-Ge- neral. This will cause two vacancies in Parliament ; one for Cashel, in the room of Mr. Perrin,—his successor on the Liberal side, will, it is said, be Sergeant Wonlfe ; and in Dungarvon, where Mr. O'Loughlen is certain of reelection the third time.— Globe.
A deputation from the Synod of Ulster have presented a congratu- latory address to Lord Mulgrave, couched in very marked terms,— giving the lie to the impudent assertions of the Orange Tury faction that the Presbyterians of the North disapproved of the policy of the Melbourne Ministry. We observe by the report of the proceedings in
the Synod, that Dr. Cooke, who figured at the Hillsborough meeting and at Exeter Hall, and who was stated by the Tories to be a delegate of the Presbyterians of Ulster, is a sort of Marquis of London- derry in a small way—that is, a foolish, meddling, violent person, pos- sessing no kind of influence, and constantly in hot water.
Our City Conservatives are at daggers drawn with each other about
money matters. The leading agent at the last election is now dis- owned, his bills are unpaid, and he has gone to prison. Clerks, printers, &c. are said to be only creditors on his bankrupt estate, and a regular blow-up in-the camp is the consequence. Captain Childers, Secretary of the Registration and Election Conservative Commit- tee, is the person who is in gaol. Mr. O'Connell's agent has been even employed by some of the Tory clerks to recover their accounts, if possible.—Globe Dublin Correspondent. After a very minute investigation, continued for nearly three days, into the circumstances of the Orange riots in Belfast on Sunday week, when a female was unfortunately killed, and several persons wounded, the Jury came to the following verdict—" That the deceased, Anne Moore, came by her death, in consequence of a gun-shot wound in- flicted by one of thesmilitary, while in the execution of his duty in quel- ling a dangerous riot, under the orders of the civil !Magistrate, on the 12th of July instant." The Jury was composed of individuals, the majority of whom hold Tory principles ; so that the Orange party can have no just ground to complain, that they have been unfairly dealt with. We are glad that this has been the case; for, if it had not, we are well aware of the misrepresentations which would have been circu- lated. It is now proved, in a way which leaves the party no room for escape, that they were engaged in " a dangerous riot," on the Sabbath- day ; that they resisted and violently assaulted the civil authorities ; that they have been instrumental in causing a loss of life ; and that they inflicted a severe wound on a Magistrate, whilst he was endeavour- ing to enforce the law.—Northern 1Vhig. There was a performance at the Dublin Theatre on Tuesday night for the benefit of poor Banim, the author of the O'Hara Tales, who has been for some weeks in this city in a state of extreme physical de- ility. All parties cordially united on this occasion to testify their esteem and sympathy for the suffering author. The Lord Lieutenant and a considerable number of the leading gentry were present. The house was very well filled. The profits of the benefit will be about 2001.—Times Correspondent. •
