IRELAND.
Dr. Stock, Judge of the Irish Admiralty Court, and who would gladly be Judge of the Prerogative Court, is canvassing Cashel; and as the Doctor is the Ministerial candidate, it is probable that lie will be returned to Parliament by that convenient borough. Cashel is the pis alter of a Whig lawyer anxious to commence a career of placehunting and patriotism. It was a place of refuge for Lewis Perrin, when Lord Rossmore drove him out of Monaghan,—one of the numerous services for which that cunning old Tory is now re- warded by Lord Melbourne with an English Peerage. Mr. O'Logh- len next walked from Cashel to the Bench. Now, Sergeant Woulfe has made it a stepping-stone to the same elevation. Whether these three Liberal lawyers, Perrin, O'Loghlen, and Woulfe will long re. taut their Liberalism, remains to be proved, under the approaching supremacy of the Tories.
It is said that Mr. Richard Moore, who came forward as a candidate for Cashel, has retired. Till lately, Mr. Moore was a Tory. He is connected with the Pennefathcr family, and longs for the ermine ; but, understanding that some display of Whiggery in Parliament is a necessary preliminary to his exaltation to the Bench, be is on the look- out for a seat in the House of Commons. Mr. Sheil would gladly see Moore in the field, because he would have the support of some Tory families, and create discord among the Tory party in Tipperary. Moore is the relative of Ponsonby Barker, who lately opposed Sheil. " Tom Walsh," the Radical candidate, is not, we suspect, very stanch.
It may be remembered, that five or six years ago, he figured as the ostensible proprietor of a very milk-and-water paper, called the Er- press, to a hick Perrin, Woulfe, Richards,, and others, contributed lead- ing articles, which helped speedily to sink the concern. Mr. Walsh has no chance of success.
