IRELAND.
The election for the University of Dublin terminated on Saturday. The numbers were—Lefroy, 589; Gayer, 350. The voters have taken but little interest in the contest. It will be seen that only 939 polled. At the last election there were nearly 1200 recorded votes.
According to the Banner of Ulster' the new Irish Solicitor-General is flooded with letters from his Belfast constituents asking or demanding places under Government, to be obtained through his official influence.
An investigation before the Dublin Magistrates into the conduct of the police in the late riot has been protracted for many days and is not yet over. The case came before them upon summonses issued against the constables identified as having committed assaults upon the students. The evidence has hitherto been on the side of the prosecution. The witnesses deposed to several acts of cowardly brutality. The defence has not yet begun.
