Lord Clarendon left Dublin on Saturday morning, for a fortnight's tour in the North. He reached Cidedon that afternoon, on a visit of three days to the Earl and Countess of Caledon. He was to visit the Earl of Erne, at Crom Castle, for a day ; and then to spend four or five days as the guest of the Marquis of Londonderry, at Gerson Tower, in Fermanagh. Next Wednesday he proceeds to Belfast, to stay from that day till Friday ; and the Northern metropolis of Ireland is resolved to give him a royal reception.

This outrage too place on the estates of Count Dalton; and the marauding tenant recently took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, owing his landlord about 500/. rent. He was, nevertheless, discharged on the promise of fulfilling certain con- ditions; which, it seems, altogether escaped his memory, and he conti- nues to hold the lands clear of all rent and liabilities.—.Dublin Correspond- ent of the Times.
