IRELAND.

Lord De Grey left Dublin Castle on Monday, and embarked at Kingstown for England.

On Monday, Captain Meynell, R.N., one of the new Grooms in Waiting, was reillected for Lisburn, on the nomination of Dr. Stewart, seconded by Mr. Smyth. He was not present ; his constituents having been as considerate as his chief, Sir Robert Peel's ; for they signified to him that he need not take the trouble of absenting himself from his new duties to attend at the hustings.

At a meeting in Dublin an Saturday, for the purpose of forming an association of Repealers pledged to the exclusive use of Irish manufac- tures, Mr. O'Connell, apropos of an allusion to municipal affairs, repeated his declaration that he had finally separated himself from the Whigs— He begged to say that he would L„ accept the post of Lord Mayor if he were voted to it -tie felt that a higher straggle was approaching than that between the citizens of Dublin for the higher situations in the Corporation. The struggle between Whigs and Tories was over. He neyer.. would be a Whig again. They had a splendid scene on Tuesday evening at the Theatre ; which was a strong proof of the deep gratitude of the Irish people to a man who had exerted his influence and talents to obtain justice for them. This exhibition of a nation's gratitude was most disinterested. It was shown to a man who was not only not in power, but not in Parliament. If the Whigs formed a DCW society, he would have nothing to do with it unless it looked for a large extension of the franchise, so as to let in the industrial classes. It should seek to shorten Parliaments, to look for vote by Ballot, and for the total abolition of the Tithe rent-charge in Ireland. He would have nothing to do with a Registry Association, which would distract the attention of the people from looking for really useful measures.

Ile made a trenchant attack on the Duke of Leinster-

There were many of the Whig party present yesterday, [at the reception of the new Lord-Lieutenant] among whom was the Duke of Leinster. He regretted to perceive that the Morning .Register and Freeman's Journal had.

taken the trouble of abusing his Grace for thus countenancing the enemies of

Ireland; but what better could they expect from him True, he presided at the meeting on Tuesday to address Lord Morpeth, but he staid away from the annex. He saved thereby 1/. 12s. 6cL, a large semi a these bad times.

The private correspondent of the Dublin Monitor supplies a little anecdote, which may be true, though it looks much like a manufacture : "A distinguished member of the Cabinet, being twitted the other day with the Premier's saying that Ireland would be the great impediment to his retaining the power which he has gained, answered, We have no apprehensions from that quarter while Mr. O'Connell gives us such effective aid as this '—and be quoted the honourable and learned gentle- man's last attack upon the Duke of Leinster."

At the head Pollee-office in Dublin, on Saturday, a young woman named Rose Wilde charged her husband with attempting to poison her. She awoke in the middle of the night, finding herself ill, and felt some- thing sweet and clammy on her lips. She took some water and re- turned to bed ; when in a short time she saw her husband get up and take something out of a box, which he tried to force into her mouth. She produced the box ; which was found to contain sugar of lead. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next Assizes.
