IRELAND.
Captain Staekpoole has been returned for Ennis without opposition. He succeeds the new judge, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald.
The nomination of candidates for the vacant seat in the county of Cork, caused by the appointment of Serjeant Deasy to the Attorney- Generalship of Ireland, took place in the Court House on Monday. Mr. Deasy was proposed by Mr. Daniel Clanchy, and seconded by the Re-
verend John Corcoran. Lord Campden was proposed by the Reverend John Peyton Blainey, and seconded by Mr. Lowe ; and the Reverend John Faaes, was proposed by Mr. Victor Pack and seconded by Mr. Henry Hasset, Mr. Deasy, Mr. Pope Renee.% M.P.—on the part of Lord Campden, who did not appear—and the Reverend John Falkes ad- dressed the electors. The show of hands was in favour of the Attorney- General. A poll was demanded on behalf of Lord Campden.
Dr. Paul Cullen has forwarded 10001. to the Papal treasury. It has been received by the Pope with "the warmest and most paternal ex- pressions of approbation." It shows how little the Roman Catholics of Dublin care for the authority, of Lord John Russell, "who in a despatch lately published has had the hardihood to charge the Government of his Holiness Pius IX. with ignorance, corruption, and despotism. Let Lord John Russell support rebellion against a lawful sovereign ; let him re- commend the spoliation of the Church of God—we shall make every exer- tion to maintain the just rights and the legitimate authority of the Pon- tiff, so necessary for the welfare of religion and of society."
Nearly 15,0007. were collected in the Roman Catholic chapels of Dublin on Sunday, in aid of the Irish benevolence to the Pope. It is supposed that in a few weeks the Papal Government will have received 14,0007. Delivered from O'Connell's rent the Irish, who are so poor and distressed, pay thus much in aid of Cullen's rent to maintain Italian servitude.
