IRELAND.

There is a movement in Dublin to abolish Donnybrook Fair. On Monday the Lord Mayor presided over a meeting for that purpose. It seems that the fair may now be bought up from the patentees for 30001.; and, considering what a nuisance it is, and how much money is drawn from the savings-banks and spent there in drunkenness and riot, 30001. la thought a low price. It was accordingly agreed, on the motion of Lord Westmeath, that the opportunity should be seized for getting rid of the nuisance ; and a committee was appointed and a subscription-list opened for that end.
