IRELAND.

Mr. Arthur Guinness, the brewer, is suffering for his support of the Tory candidates at the late election. Not only do the people generally refuse to drink his beer, but those who wish to have it are roughly handled by the mob. A correspondent of the Standard says- " Grocers and vint^t rs are placed under the surveillance of the Pacificatory of the Trades Union, one of whose mottoes is' Vote by Ballot ;' and it is a fact, that, in order to supply the demands of their customers, who must have the double X, that excellent beverage has to be smuggled in at night. But it is not only in the city that Guinness's porter is in so much demand ; it circulates far aid wide through the country, and in order to expel it from the land something like an insurrection is required."

One of the Messrs. Guinness has been complaining to the Magis. Dates of the violent usage some of his country customers have under- gone. One of them was conveying a cargo of porter to Roscommon, when some men dragged him off his dray, saying that the drayman well knew he had no right to take Guinness's porter to the country— "They threw him on the road ; when one of them held bins down, putting ha foot on his neck. They then took off the horse, and upset the dray, as he *aka for the purpose of breaking the shafts, which they endeavoured to do by striking them with a sledge: they then broke in the heads of four of the casks, and spilled the porter on the road, and they were proceeding to do further personal Violence when they were prevented by a gentleman who interfered. In the course of the investigation, it appeared from the statement of Mr. Guinness and of two gentlemen who accompanied him, that various attempts are making to nate the lower classes against him, since his vote at the late city election. lie produced a letter from an agent in the country, stating that two emissaries are travelling about cautioning the customers of Mr. Guinness not to take his por- ter, and recommending that of a house with which they are supposed to be connected. On Kilduff (the drayman) being asked would he again venture to Ake Guinness's porter to the country, he said he would not, as he was sure it would cost him tale life."

The Dublin Post states that Sheriff Bryan, one of the deputation Of three appointed by the Corporation of Dublin to proceed to Han- over to present the address of congratulation to the King of Hanover, !greed to by that body, suddenly returned to Dublin on Sunday morn- ing, without having accomplished his task. The Dublin Post intimates that the deputation on their arrival in London reveived a hint froai the Carlton Club that it would be a misprision of treason for a British subject to hold any political communication with a foreign Prince.
