IRELAND.
Two meetings of the members of the Irish Brigade were held in London last week, to determine on which side they should sit in the House of Commons ; and what policy they should pursue. It is stated that 22 out of 34 were in favour of sitting on the Ministerial side, with those who "most approximate to our opinions"; - but that no decision as to policy Las been come to. All reports agree that the result has been a "heavy blow and great discouragement" to the Lucas and Duffy section.
Hackett and Noonan have been tried at Waterford iu3sizes for the murder of Mr. Ryan. The verdict WAS "Guilty," and sentence of death was pro- nounced.
At Trim Assizes, two men have been convicted of belonging to Riband societies : they have been sentenced to seven years' transportation.
