IRELAND.
In consequence of the removal by Lord Mulgrave of the Sheriff of 'Monaghan, the Assizes in that country have been broken up; a question arising as to the legality of any trials in the absence of the duly-appointed Sheriff, who had taken the oaths and performed several of the ditties of his office. One consequence of the blunder is, that 101 prisoners will remain in gaol till the next delivery.
A fire broke out on Sunday morning in the demesne of the Earl of Charleinont, at Murino, Dublin, which consumed 150 tons of hay. The hay was on fire in four or five places ; no doubt the work of an incendiary. Some days ago, his Lordship had some fellows fined at the Petty Sessions for cutting timber on his grounds.—Dublut &ening Post.
The Marquis of Waterford, accompanied by his brother, Lord John Beresford, arrived at Waterford on Thursday morning, from Bristol, and proceeded to Curraghmore. Many of the curious went to see the noble lord, who has not been ;in this city since his nearly fatal trip to Bergen. His Lordship looks in good health, and does not at all look the worse of the Northern " morning star," which, we BP- prebend, will be long associated with his name.—ltraterford Chronicle. The present session, we have reason to believe, will be a short one. The coronation takes place about the middle of June ; before which time, the business of parliament, it is supposed, will be wound up. It is certainly her Majesty's intention immediately after to honour her faithful people of Ireland with her royal presence.—Dublin Evening
PaCt.
