The statement made by the Chairman of the Cork dinner
on Monday, relative to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S order to Mr. ARTHUR O'CONNOR IO "be gone" from Ireland (as given in the Irish news), is not quite correct. It appears from a letter addressed to the Cork Southern Reporter by Mr. O'Consroa, and from an article in the Courier this evening, that the Duke has only refused to extend the time allowed to Mr. O'Connor' by the late Government to settle his private affairs, and communicated his determination through a third party, not by letter to Mr. O'Con NOR himself. Even this refusal, however, is a pitiful proceeding. It betrays bigotry and cowardice; and is symptomatic of that leaning to Orangeism which there is too much reason to expect will characterize the pro.- ceedings of the Duke's Government in Ireland.
