IRELAND. Reports of the spread of Ribandism rather increase. The
Carlow Sentinel states that it has taken. hold of Leinster. " Delegates" scour the districts, -passing themselves off as travellers' or workmen out of employment, And recruit partizans in the public houses. The farmers are said to be under a reign terror. The Ribandmen aim at the regula- tion of "wages and diet," the management of the land, and the disposal in marriage of farmer's daughters. - Mr. John Carden of Barnane has published a long statement of his strange wooing of Miss Arbuthnot, which he entitles an Appeal to the Public. It is an odd proceeding for, a lover. Mr. Carden seems to be as much under the influence of a passion for the lady as ever. He recounts his grievances in a pathetic style and whines out a complaint that he has not had fair play. He appears convinced that the lady loves him instant and that she is the victim of an oppression that prevents her from rush- ing into his arms. Here is a specimen— "At last I determined to force an interview with Lord Gough himself, and, proceeding-to Lougheooter for that purpose, I surprised him in his own de- mesne. Lord Gough's reception of me was that of a soldier and a gentle- man. Every amends that words could convey I made for the insult offered, as be said, to his family, and I received his entire forgiveness. I then in- formed him that I had obtained the most positive information as to Mial Arbuthnot's state of mind ; that when she heard me abused by her friends ahe would burst into tears, and then retire to her room for the remainder of the evening, milers) she was left without notice or remark, with other details of a similar nature. Lord Gough said that the hearts of young girls were deceitful ; but that, assuming my supposition to be true, which he did not by any means admit, the world would not allow Miss Arbuthnot to Mar/ me.' That appears to me a remark of deep import in relation to the Ism proceedings; but my opinion is, that the world cares little about the Affair° of two humble individuals who ought to be allowed to settle there in I- rate and without being subjected to 'a species of interference which ram in public scandal. Finally, Lord Gough advised me to pursue an opens n°,' a clandestine course, and, acting upon this suggestion, I went to Cloomea and not finding Mr. Gough at home, I wrote to request a meeting with Mr. Gough, Gough, after an interval, refused the interview ; and I found, through Government officials, that it had been represented that I had requested ° a hostile meeting, and that my communication was of a threatening shs' rector." „„.

"On Monday afternoon, about half-past 5 o'clock, as Samuel gamy Gaga, Es' q., D.L., J.P., who resides at Littleton, in the vicinity, of Niaagb, was returning home, he was fired at from behind a hedge by a Nesmith with a pistol, containing a charge of slugs, and which perforated his coat and vest and grazed; his side.

[This report is now said to be without foundation.") We understand that a statementwas lately laid before Major-General Eden C.B., by the ReVerend Canon Browne, pointing out the justice of affording the Roman Cetholic prisoners confined in the Cork District Miles toy Prison an opportunity of. having mass on Sundays, and, asking a mode7 rate remuneration for that; purpose. The General, at appears, kindly for- warded the application -14 head-quartera, and we are happy to learn that Afajor-General Peel has been pleased to grant the favour sought, and to allow an annual sum of 351. as, remuneration. The Roman Catholic soldiers con- fined in the Cork.Military Prison are now to, have mass on Sundays for the
future, and we are informed that the Bishop :has appointed the Reverend William Cunningham to fulfil that duty.--Cork Examiner.
