IRELAND.

The price of land rises in Ireland. There is great competition for land in Galway, sold by the Encumbered Estates Court. The other day a small property was sold at nearly thirty-five years' purchase. It is reported from all quarters that this year there is a vast extent of potato-planting.

The Great Southern and Western Railway Company have agreed to pay 30001. and costs to the widow and children of Mr. William Bateman, a Cork solicitor, who was killed by the collision at Strain.
