The Conservatives have been boasting of their strengt% in the county of Dublin. They were put to the test yesterday at the Kil- mainham Sessions, when the Rethrmers registered five times as many as their opponents. We know that heretofore a very blameable apathy has prevailed on the Liberal side, which enabled the Orange party to creep in with a majority of votes at the last registry ; but the people, warned of the movement of the enemy, are now on thellert ; and the consequence is, that yesterday the Reformers registered ii the ratio of five to one. Let them persevere, and establish in the Metropolitan County such a majority as shall frighten the Tories out of the field. Let there be exertion—untiring and indefatigable exertions. The Chairman of the County of Dublin Sessions has given a decision in direct opposition to the dictum of Mr. Manley, regarding the Lodger point, at the Cork registry. Mr. Maxwell Blacker, in pronouncing his opinion, announced that one of the Judges, with whom be had communicated, "had expressed to him his conviction that the decision given in Cork ought to be reversed." And reversed it will be of course. This is cheering news for our friends in Cork.—.Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.
