DUBLIN.—Neither Lord Brabazon nor George Evans will take the test
of the Repeal ; but Mr. C. Fitzsimon, if, as some people suppose, he is put into nomination by his father.in-law, Mr. O'Connell, will., Hemust infallibly be beaten, however, and G. Hamilton carries his election as a matter of course. If two Repealers are put up, the Conservatives will put in two men. Again, with regard to the city : neither Sergeant 0•Loughlen nor Sergeant Perrin, nor Sir R. Harty, nor John Latouche, if any oithese gentlemen should be started on the Liberal interest for the city, will suamit to such a test ; nor will Mr. Shaw, of course. But Mr. O'Connell, if he should be started for the' city, will. The consequence here again will be, that a Liberal will be thrown out and an Orangeman put in.—Dublin Evening Post.
GALwAr.—Mr. Lambert retires. Mr. St. George, of Headfort, Mr. Daly, of Dunsandle, and Mr. Bellew, are in the field.
KILKENNY.—Colonel Butler has been called on to offer himself as - a candidate.
Lumucic.—Mr. O'Connell has published a letter to the electors of Limerick, declining to become a candidate for its representation ; bur
bestowing his counsel with respect to the pledges which should be required at the next election. They are—I. To insist upon the total extinction of tithes. 2. To call for an alteration of the Grand Jury Law. 3. To demand such a reform as will make Justices of the Peace eligible by the people. 4. To vote for an address to the Crown to dismiss Lord .Anglesey, Mr. Stanley, and Mr. Blackburne. 5. Re- peal of the Union. Great apprehension is expressed, by some of the Dublin journals, lest, by insisting on a pledge for the repeal of the Union, which a very large portion of the Reformers will not take nor give O'Connell should throw the elections in a great measure into the hands of the Orange-- - men; who are, moreover, strong in funds, from the success of the Pro- testant Rent. We think we may trust O'Connell's sagacity, of which he has a large share, to guard against such a result. But we shall see. It will be curious if Ireland, having done so mach when unreformed, should, now that it is reformed, return a set of Tories.
LONGFORD.—Colonel White, it is said, will offer himself, in oppo- sition to Lord Forbes and Mr. A. Lefroy.
PORTARLINGTON.—Colonel D. Darner is named as candidate for this borough. Captain Carey will, it is said, oppose him.
WATERFORD.—It would appear, from a paragraph in the Watedbrd .C7ironicle, that there is a probability of a contest at the next election for the county.
