IRELAND.

The Honourable and Reverend Robert Plunket has been appointed by his brother, the Bishop orrnatn, to the living of I leadfort, worth 7001. a year, vacant by the death of the late Reverend Mr. Meara.— Tipperary Free Press.

It is rumoured in Dublin that the Queen intends to visit Ireland next 'summer. Very extensive alterations and decorations are in progress at Dublin Castle.

• Mr. O'Connell dined with a large party at Tralee on Thursday week, and then proceeded to Dublin. Ile immediately convened a meeting of his constituents, and delivered a long speech to them on Tuesday, in

the Adelphi Theatre. The principal matter ofhistarangwe was Age of Lord Brougham, the Tories, the Times, and the Morning' Post. Of Lord Brougham he said- " There is that vile man of talent, Lord Brougham, whO is one of their powerful supporters, and who is possessed of .grenter talents than any man of his party, but who is, at the same time, viler la his practices than any other statesman that ever liVed. Let us look to one of his last acts. He had an only . child, whose death, a few weeks since, tilled with regret every man of feeling who heard ofit. It was supposed that he would have at once retired from the public eye, and have sought to indulge his sorrow in silence. For a less grievous loss —and I understand she was a creature of extraordinary perfections—it would be supposed lie would have done so : but what do we find him doing? In the very tirst instance we see him parading as chief mourner at the funeral. Who ever heard Tr a father attending his CNN's funeral before? For my part, my heart cannot charge me with having been guilty of such an unfeeling act. But that was not all. We find him on the day after that melancholy ceremony presiding at the Privy Council. Oh, rem that be tolerated 1 But I would not have assailed him for his private acts, were n but that I find in them one of the strongest grounds for discovering his geneml character, and of proving that he is in heart a man of no feeling; and his public life shows hint to be a man of such a nature."

.Mr. Emerson Tennent and General Cockburne.—

" There was a dinner at Ni.wry the other day, whoa they talked of repealing the Emancipation Act. 1 should not allude to it but for a person who was there, Sir. Emerson Tennent. Ile is a man of no political principle—at one time a rank Republican, now an Orangeman, with two or three intermediate changes of opintom I could bay him to be any thing Mr t wopence-hallpenny, and pay five times too ninth for my bargain.
