IRELAND.
We arc informed, on authority which we consider respectable, that at the late meeting of Reformers of the county and city of Dublin, cons veiled to address the King to restore Lord Grey to office, cone of the family of Lord Plunkett were present; and that the Honourable John Plunkett, a place-holder in Ireland, abstained from attending this meeting by the advice of his father ; who is reported to have said, " Your place is on castors—do not kick it from you."—Morning Chronicle.
Fort Breda House, the property of William Boyd, Esq., about two miles and a half south of Belfast, and one of the handsomest private residences in the North of Ireland, has been burnt to the ground. The greater portion of the furniture, plate, books, contents of the cellar, &c., were saved.—Northern Whig.
A few nights ago, sonic ruffians entered the cabin of a poor man, about four miles from Mullingar, and finding the family were from home, except a poor infant that lay in the cradle, they stabbed the child in four parts of the body, and left it as they thought dead : they then plundered the cabin and set fire to it. An alarm being created, the fire was extinguished, the child rescued from the flames, and the villains pursued. Two suspected persons were followed immediately to Dublin, by a sergeant of police, who took them into custody in Westmorland Street ; when the frock which the child had on when stabbed was found on one of them. They had taken their passage to Liverpool only a few hours before their apprehension.—.Dublin Times.
