The Lord-Lieutenant has refused to dine with the Lord Mayor
and Corporation of Dublin upon the day of his Lordship's inauguration. The following is given by the Dublin Freeman as the answer sent to the invitation—" I refused an invitation last year to dine with a Lord Mayor whose politics I believed then to be Liberal. It would not be quite consistent in me now to accept yours. I hope, however, it will be the last time that Is/sail be under the necessity of ref using to dine with the Dublin Corporation."
The Archbishop of Tuam appears to have been doing his best to get up a Delany affair in Tuam. He allowed a Mr. Nolan, a renegade priest, to preach in the Cathedral, on the evening of Sunday the 11th ultimo. Some disturbance was the consequence, and the Curate of Tuam applied to the Magistrates to direct the Police to summon the offenders ; whereupon Mr. James Kirwan, one of the Magistrates, is reported to have said, that Mr. Nolan had been brought to Timm for the purpose of creating a riot. This remark made Mr. Moore, the curate, very angry ; and he wrote to Lord Mulgravc, demanding an inquiry into the affair, and denouncing the conduct of Mr. Kirwan. Lord Mulgrave promised immediate inquiry. The Dublin Evening Post says that there is no doubt in the world that Mr. Kirwan was right in his opinion; and that the parsons will be disappointed in their scheme of making the Police the body guard of apostate priests. Lord Mulgrave has since intimated to Mr. Kirwan, that his remark was im- proper.
