IRELAND.

DUBLTN, JUNE 28.
A great meeting of the electors of Tyrone was
held the 'day before yesterday, at Tyrone, for the
purpose of selecting a candidate of tenant-right prin-
ciples to represent the iihernl interest at the election.
The priests and the Presbyterian ministers coalesced
on this, us they have already done on several
similar occasions in the north of Ireland, and the
result was, that Captain Hugh Bmbazon Higgins, of
Brabazon Park, in the county of Mayo, was unani-
mously chosen as the popular candidate.
As un instance of the unfortunate consequences;
that arc likely to result from the divisions in the
I popular ranks in Ireland, owing to the number of
liberal candidates forcing themselves, or forced by
others, upon several of the constituencies, I may
mention the county of Westmeath, in which the
liberal party have hitherto been able to morn
their candidates without calling on a single tenant-
farmer to tote against his landlord, but in which it is
almost certain that a tory will be able to get in at the
next election. Out of half-a-dozen candidates whir
were before them the majority of the liberal club
have pledged themselves to support the Him. Mr.
Mostyn and Mr. P. Urquhart; while Captain Mogan
and at least another of the liberal candidates are re-
solved to go to the poll, thus opening the door to the
Derbjite candidate, Sir Richard Levinge, to walk in.
The split has given rise to the most painful
animosity in the county.
The canvass of Dr. Gray in Monaghan has been
attended with extraordinary excitement. On Thurs-
day the town of Clones hod a narrow escape from
lx•ing a scene of a violent physical foree struggle.
Dr. Gray's friends had seleeted the occasion for hold-
ing a meeting, but it appeared that Sir George Pos-
ter and his party were determined to make the same
time and place serve a similar purpose for themselves.
The two parties met, but fortunately matters did not
proceed further than some hustling. The meeting
was held in the Diamond, out of which the tory
party, after many attempts to interrupt the proceed-
ings, were fairly driven, and Sir George Fester was
obliged to choose another locality in which he ad-
dressed his followers. The tenant-right party look
upon the day as a glorious triumph for themselves.
The Marquis ot Kildare has taken leave of his con-
stituents in a brief and graceful address.
Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, in order to Ft care perfect
unanimity amongst the liberal party in Waterford,
has announced his determination to retire front the
contest for that borough, although he had the cordial
support of a large portion of the electors; and Mr.
Meagher, the present member, has consented to be
again put in nomination in conjunction with Mr.
Keatinge, who retires front the representation of the
county. The return of both gentlemen is looked
upon as secure.
