IRELAND.
Some time since a project was set on foot to send an Irish-American Militia regiment, armed, and in uniform, on a visit to Ireland! This as- tonishing project was regarded as feasible, even by some persons in the north of -Ireland held to be sensible on ordinary occasions. Of course it was wholly inadmissible ; and the Irish Yankees are now indulging in denunciations of the want of " liberality " on the part of the British Go-
vernment. .
The Naas proclamation seems bearing fruit. The Daily Reporter of cork for Thursday says—"At half-past eleven this day fifteen prisoners charged with being members of an illegal society arrived by the Bandon train, under the escort of a large party of police. They are all young men and of re- spectable position in society—twelve of them are from Skibbemen, and three from Bantry. The captures were effected last night, while most of the parties were in bed.- They are members of the Phomix Society, and the informations have been sworn against them by one of their body named Sullivan. The object of the society is said to have been for the purpose of obtaining an invasion of our country by American filibusters."
An important decision has been given in the Dublin Estates Court. The London and County Bank and the Tipperary Bank claimed the estates of the late John Sadleir, on the ground of priority of their securities. The arguments involved an immense deal of detail of every variety of complica- tion, touching on almost every word upon the fraudulent dealings of Sadleir. The Court decided in favour of the London and County Bank. This de- prives the Tipperary Bank of about 100,0001.
