IRELAND.

The citizens of Limerick assembled on Thursday week, in Swin- burn's Great Room, to address Lord Morpeth, " one of the most stead- fast and efficient advocates of the rights of the people in Parliament, and the only Secretary in whose administration the happiness and liber- ties of Ireland have progressed." In opening the business of the day, Mr. William Roche promised that Lord Morpeth should soon officially revisit Ireland, and then he would do so in the high capacity of Ireland's Viceroy. A resolution was passed inviting him to a public dinner.

The Enniskillen Chronicle announces that a correspondence has taken place between the Government and Mr. Nixon, High Sheriff of Fermanagh, respecting the manner in which he had forwarded the election-return to the Hanaper Office, decorated with certain party em- blems and mottoes. Mr. Nixon having refused to give any explana- tion, has been relieved, " at his own request," from the further duties of the office.

Mr. M. J. O'Connell, the Member for Kerry, has been appointed Deputy-Lieutenant of the county which he represents in Parliament.

At the weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, on Monday, Mr. O'Connell announced a contribution of 1001. from New York. The Corn Exchange resounded with cheers. Mr. O'Connell said they did well to cheer their American brethren,: they had received 4001. from Philadelphia, 1001. from Boston, 531. from Providence, and now 1001. from New York. An address accompanying the subscription was then read. It was a long thesis on the merits and necessity of Repeal ; urging the Irish to persevere in their efforts.
