IRELAND.

DOBLIX, JOLT 15.
No additional election news of any interest has
reached town in the course of this day. A good deal
of satisfaction has been expressed by all parties at
the defeat of Sir H. W. Barron ; and very few even
of the Roman catholic@ seem to regret that Mr. Rus-
sell, the liberal protestant, has been put instead of
Mr. Serjcant O'Brien in Limerick. Mr. Roamers
liberality, however, will be put to a severe test by
the brutal insults and injuries to which he and his
friends have been subjected by the Limerick popu-
lace. It is stated that a mill belonging to him was
maliciously destroyed in Tipperary yesterday. Ad-
ditional troops, it is said, will proceed immediately
to the south to be stationed in districts where con-
tested elections are about to take place.
The Cork Examiner of yesterday has the follow-
ing account of tho riots which have taken place
during the Cork city election :
The polling on Monday was attended with an amount of
tarbslence and riot which for many yeah hes not been wit-
nessed in the south of Ireland. Degas every effort made
by the Roman catholic clergymen of the city and many
other parties, the realiies of the pales became quite un-
controllable and broke et in the mast violent manner.
From a vary early beer la the vatasing large mobs of peo-
ple carrying brown and ether kelpie landed the town
cheerio( for the melee eredideens end greeeing for Colo-
nel Obastertea eat Me impasse. IS mos aft Leg bake%

ped to be voters of Colonel Chastest's ewe M.

The Mrs and r. (fore Jones, R.M., paraded the city at
the heed of a squadron of dragoons, and two bodies of in-
fantry lined some of the principal streets. Three thousand
police were stationed at the different booths. In the Lee
Ward toe courusOn was so great that it was found wen.
wiry to adjourn the p Bing until the following day. Seve-
ral churches were attacked and their windows broken.
Christ Church had over 40 panes of glass dashed in ' • St.
Peter's Church, the Scotch and Wesleyan Church, ant the
Protestant Orphan School underwent considerable dilapi-
dation. The North Main-street presented • most shattered
appearance in many places, all the windows of several holing'
being broken. The splendid plate glass windows of Mr
Graham's shop on the Grand Parade were broken in by a
mob who were endeavouring to get at a gentleman, Mr. Cram
Fitagibboe, of this couaty, who had taken refuge there. Mr.
Fitzgibbon had excited the indignation of the people, we
understand, by endeavouring to bring up • number of un- '
willing voters in the south end of the town, the tenants of
hennaed which he is the agent, and whom he wished to poll
for the conservative candidate. Mr. Thomas Georg* '
French, J.P.,' was struck with a stone in the face. Mr. 'I
George Smith Mr. Cleburne, Messrs. Richard, William,
Joseph, and William G. Bradford, Rev. F. M. do St.
George, Sulnlnspector Morgan, Mr. David Hill, Mr. R. B.
Evans, Mr. R. Thornton, and many other individuals, were
oleo attacked and more or less beaten. Captain White,
J.p., was also, we understand, severely assaulted, and had
to be minted to his house by a petty of soldiers. Many of
the popular party were also attacked in the confusion, and
some of them received severe injuries in endeavouring to
protect conservative voters. We understand that Mr. Denis
O'Flyzi was cut in the fans while striving to save an un-
popular voter from injury. An attack was made upon the
house of Mr. Henry Bible, by a party chiefly composed of
women—who all through te day showed a fury not un-
worthy the poissardes of Paris—smashing in the windows.
Mr. Bible fired upon them, and a woman received a wound
which, it is said, is likely to have • mortal effect.
