IRELAND.

• The Royal Dublin Society have resolved to postpone till the general meeting in March next certain propositions of Lord Mulgrave re- specting an alteration in the rules of the society. The correspondent of the Times says- " The propositions of the Lord-Lieutenant, fifteen in number, suggested the admission of members by the vote of the majority, (by ballot or otherwise.) instead of the present mode, requiring two.thirds of the members to vote for any individual proposed. Dr. Murray, the Roman Catholic Archbishop, would not have been excluded if the votes of a majority had been sufficient. The other propositions require material changes in the regulations of the Society, and say that 'there shall be no news-room permitted in the house of the Society.'" Unless these propositions are agreed to, the Government grant of 50001. a year will be withdrawn, or suspended. An address from. the County of Tipperary, with severe! thousand signatures attached to it, was presented to Lord Mulgrave on the 17th instant. The Tory Lord-Lieutenant of that county, the Earl of Ossory, not only refused to comply with a requisition for a meeting to address the Viceroy, but it) his anwer to the requisitionists, indulged in some very indecorous animadversions on the conduct of the Irish

Executive. Lord Mulgrave did not let the opportunity of replying to the address, pass without administering a reproof to Lord Ossory;

who ought to be dismissed at once from the Lieutenancy of Tipperary. After alluding to the improved state of the county, Lord Mu'grave went on to say- " I do not mention these circumstances from any desire to notice more pr..- ticularly an extraordinary document connected with the object of your meeting. It becomes me to let such slander pass unheeded by ; and I can well afford ;a leave to the judgment of public opinion the conduct of an individual, wheee ignorance of the observances due from an officer of the Crown to a person holding the high situation I at present fill, was only exceeded by still greater

ignorance of the facts on which his accusation was founded. The real object

I have in view in calling your attention to the present state of districts of the county of Tipperary is, that you should convey to throw thousands of stud?.

yeomanry who participated in the expressions of personal attachment to myself,

which I have this day heard from you, my anxious desire that they should. cooperate cordially with a Government in which they profess deserved confidence, in removing from 'Tipperary the attempted stigma with which a few evil-doers can net Abet their tariving and beautiful county. Let then' but give me tlr:r active support in bringing to puoishwent these lawless banditti, and depend upon it I will do my duty by them. " Iu the maintenance of that equal protection to all which you justly ascrihs as the rule c.f my government, I can never forget that there is no thrahlout so offensive as lawless intimidation—no tyranny so odious as that of the anony- mous assassin. Every benevolent intention for the regeneration of Ireland, the diffusion of productive industry, and the enjoyment of nationpt liberty require, for their mature development, the peaceful security of property and of life." In twenty-one counties, from which returns have been received, the total number of criminal committals in 18:35 was less by 427 than the total number in the same counties Jim the year 1834. What will my Lord Ossory say to this ?—Doblin Evening Post.
