IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY 28.
The only Irish elections which remained to be de-
cided were those for Tyrone and Donegal, and the
returns received this morning set all doubts on the
subject of these at rest. Ihe numbers at the final
close of the poll fur Tyrone, last evening, stood as
follows :
Lord Claude Hamilton 3,233
Mr. H. L. Corry 3,269
Captain Higg:rn, 979
And for Donegal the first day's polling yesterday
gave the following numbers :

E. M. Cum,lry
Sir E. Ha es
P. T. C. Johnstone

It is plain that as matters now stand a liberal
candidate had no chance in either of these counties;
but it was well to hoist the popular standard, and it
is hoped that on no very distant occasion the tories
will be made to earn a dearer victory, if they be not
driven ultimately front the field.
Accounts have reached town to-day that Colonel
Bruen, the newly•elected tory member fur the
county of Carlow, hair been attacked with apoplexy.'
It is stated that ho was seized with the illness manic-
diately alter his return home from the election.
Mr. Sharman Crawford has published an address
" to the friends of tenant-right in Ireland, but espe-
cially to the tenant-right electors of the county of
Down." This document, in the present critical state
of that question, after suffering so many defeats iu
localities where it was made the chief, or only popular
hustings cry, will be looked to with some interest
throughout the country, as the dictum of the teuant-
right Nestor, under important and peculiar circum-
stances. Of the Down election, Mr. Crawford says:
We know by experience the after-working of this Land-
lord League, and that the free voice of the electors was
stifled by the reckless application of coercion, intimidation,
and unlawful violence in every possible form, put into
action by landlord power, setting at defiance the constitution
of the country and the laws of parliament, and outraging
every true principle of public virtue, private honour, and
truth, morality, and religion.
The following insolent epistle from the relative
and agent of Sir Richard Keane, brother of Lord
Keane, and now a renegade 'slag, will servo as an
instance of the sort of intimidation brought in sup-
port of the tories in the county of Waterford—and,
tt may be added, in support of the landlord candi-
dates generally throughout Ireland :
Ardmore, Yougbal, July 10, Dia.
Lawrence Heffernan,—l hive heard with surprise that

that you gave it to him. I wish now to inform you, that it
is Sir Richard Kcane's intention not to keep any person on
his estate •ho chooses to vote against hie interest; and if
such be the case, I shall request you to meet me at my
office next 'lhursday, to settle your account ap to the 25:11
March last, 18,52.—Y0ur obedient servant,

It is remarkable nothing in the shape of a " hostile
correspondence " has turned up in the progress of the
Irish elections, with the ex'eption of an affair of that
kind in Monaghan. It appears that after the nomi-
nation at the Monaghan election had concluded, Mr.
Leslie, ono of the tory candidates, turned to Dr.
Gray, the tenant-right candidate, and in the pre-
sence of the sheriff and several persona said, "Dr.
Gray, I wish to state that you are no gentleman."
Dr. Gray at once replied, " I will first fight the
battle of the people; when that shall have terminated
I will let you know whether or not I am a gentle-
man." There was no further notice taken of the
matter till the close of the election on Saturday after-
noon, when Thomas Seaver, Esq.' of Ileath Hall, as
Dr. Gray's friend, waited on Mr. Leslie. The result
may be gathered from the subjoined correspondence:
" Westenra Arms, Saturday."
" My dear Dr. Gray,—According to your wishes I called
on Mr. Leslie to ask fur a retractation or explanation of the
language used by him to you on the day of nomination, and
was referred by him to Mr. Murdoch, who, hy-the-hy, in-
troduced himself to me as Mr. Leslie's law agent. On my
expressing surprise that Mr. Leslie should not better an-
& rstand me, Mr. Murdoch then stated he was Mr. Leslie's
law agent, but was there as his "friend." After a few
words on the subject, he requested that I would state in
writing what you had to complain of, which I did in note
No. 1 ; and 1 now enclose you a copy of the correspondence
which ensued.—Yours in haste, my dear Gray, ever truly,
"Dr. Gray. "THOMAS SEAVCIL.
" l'.S. I forgot to mention that in the conversation I had
with Mr. Leslie he stated that your language called for any
remarks that ho had made use of—to which 1 answeted that
your language was political and not in any way ?monis]."
" Westenra Arms, Saturday.
" Sir,—Having had the honour of to-day calling tor Mr.
Leslie, and having been referred by him to you as his
friend, in compliance with your request that I would state
in writing what Dr. Gray complained of, I beg to state
that Mr. Leslie, having made use of language to the follow-
ing effect—' Dr. Gray, I wish to state that you arc no gen-
tleman '-1 now request, on the part of Dr. Gray, a re-
tractation or explanation of those words. have the honour
to remain, sir, your very obedient servant,
"Robert Murdoch, &c." "THOS. &AVM.

"Mr. Leslie's ComMitiLre I;o—in

" Sir,—The observations made by Mr. Leslie to Dr.
Gray on the day of the nomination were not the precise
words you state, and were called forth by the uncourteeus
conduct of Dr. Gray. On Mr. Leslie's part, I must decline
to go into any further explanation. I am, sir, your obe-
dient servant, " HO/MUT MULL/OCR.

"Sir,—Dr. Gray's recollection of the words used by Mr.
Leslie is that which I stated in my note, and Dr. Gray most
distinctly asserts that ho is not aware of having been guilty
of any discourteous conduct to Mr. Leslie. Therefore I re-
quest that if this correspondence is to cease here, you will
at once name the place where I can have a private interview
with you in the course of the neat half hour.—l remain,
sir, your obedient servant, " Thomas Susvcii.

to you my determination as acting for Mr. Leslie, I must
decline to enter into any further correspondence o's the sub-
ject, or hold any private interview with you.— I am your
obedient servant, ROBIBT MULtUOCH.
