IRELAND.

VISCOUNT DUNGANNON has been chosen a representative
Peer for Ireland, in the room of the late Earl of Caledon.
THERE are hardly any able-bodied male paupers at present
in the rural workhouses in Ireland. Labour is scarce in all
parts of the country, and wages high.

i -
PART of the Curragh was in danger of being burned down
on Saturday, by two confederate militia regiments burning
tar barrels adjoining the timber works, and igniting furze
bushes.

THERE are already four candidates for New Ross, in the
room of Mr. Duffy. They are Charles 'Tottenham (Tory),
John Reynolds, formerly M.P. for Dublin, Mr. Welch, of Kil-
kenny, and Mr. W. J. O'Connell, of London.

EVICTIONS.—On the Gth inst., the Sheriff of Galway, ac.
companied by an escort of Police, proceeded to the Claddagh,
and took possession of 21 houses, the property of Mr. Henry
Grattan. The inmates were all put out, and six of the cabins
levelled to the ground, but the parties evicted were admitted
into the remaining 15 as caretakers. It is admitted by the
popular journals that, as these poor creatures have never paid
rent or other charges since Mr. Grattan became their land-
lord, no blame can be attributed to him for getting rid of them.

VISIT OP PRINCE NAPOLEON TO CORK.—The Cork
Reporter, of Wednesday, contains the following announce-
ment :—" We are in a position to state that Prince Napoleon
Bonaparte, who is cruising off the English coast, in his Im-
perial Majesty's yacht Ariel, is likely to visit our harbour in
the course of the ensuing week." In a later edition the same
journal adds :—" We have now to state that the Prince's arrival
here is looked for in the course of this evening, and that it is
contemplated to take advantage of the opportunity offered by
this visit, to commemorate, by a public banquet, the alliance
with France, and the recent grand success at Sebastopol.
Lists for the dinner are being rapidly filled up."

THE HABVEST.—Another week of splendid weather has
nearly brought harvest operations, save in the remote northern
and western districts, to a satisfactory conclusion. A few
days' more brisk wind and sunshine such as the country has
been recently favoured with, and there will be scarcely a field
left uncut. As regards the potato, the accounts from Cork
mention that the fear of the disease appears to have wholly
abated, as the farmers there allow the crop to lie in the
ground, digging them merely to supply immediate con-
sumption, and not, as formerly, forcing them on the market
in order to effect sales at any price before the apprehended
spread of the blight rendered them valueless.
