We mentioned last week, that a Mr. Moore had been
trying to get up a Delany disturbance in Tuatn ; and that Mr. Kirwan, a Magistrate, Lad been complained of by him to the Lord-Lieutenant, who intimated his disapprobation to Mr. Kirwan of a certain expression used by that gentleman on the bench, but refused to take any further steps in the affair. Tins determination of the Lord-Lieutenant was communicated to Moore, in a civil note, by Lord Morpeth ; and the following is the commentary on Lord Morpeth's note sent to the Dublin Evening Mail by the minister of peace and good-will. " TO TI1E EDITOR OF THE EVENING MAIL.
"Tuna,. 28th September 1836. "Sir—In answer to his Excellency's letter, in which lie states, •lii, dues nut I'M himself called npon to pOsuc the matter further,' &c. I ninst again trespass on the columns of yoor 'valuable paper. In the first place. I rejoice to find that, on due consideration. Iil Excellency does not cons:der the preaching against Popery • necessarily ollnsive to the ninjerity (Atha people ;' and. secondly. it alluvia me matter of satisfaction to fuld that even though Ms LaTetteacy does nut consider Ow attack.; upon the tires of Protestants or insults efferent to a Protestant clergyman, worthy of public inquiry, that, nevertheless, the wholesome fear of public opinion, and of the less of Magisterial honours, have forced Mr. Kirwan to express his regret at having used such warm expressions. "I am, Sir, faithfully yours, "E. L. Moons."
