The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of &glin-
t= held their first drawing-room last night. 'The
company, as at the levee, the preceding day, was nu-
merous, comprising a great many persons of well-
known liberal politics.
Au immense multitude of the populace crowded
the Castle-yard yesterday, et the usual hour of re- I
lieving the guard, for the purpose of hearing
band play " Patrick's Day." His Excellency the
Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Countess of
Eglinton, appeared on the centre balcony, wearing
shamrocks, and were very warmly cheered. The
regimental colours were also ornamented with sprigs
of shamrock, and several national airs, such as
" Rory O'Hore," " Donnybrook Fair," &c., were
played by the band; the crowd at intervals indulg-
ing in vociferous demonstrations of satisfaction. A
large mob accompanied the band to Richmond Bar-
racks, and on their return through the streets became
exceedingly disorderly and troublesome, attacking
persons who refused to take off their hats "in
honour of the day." The police at length interfered,
but a large body of them were beaten back into
their station-house. The police then armed them-
selves with cutlasses, and at this juncture a troop
of Artillery came up, and the men dismounting,
co-operated with the police, and succeeded in dis-
persing the mob, and making several prisoners, but
not until a great many windows had been broken,
and persons injured with the stones and other mis-
siles, which flew in abundance.

The Limerick Reporter says: "We believe we
may announce that bir John F. Fitzgerald will be
accompanied by Sir Burton M'Namara as a second
candidate for the representation of Clare, on the
liberal side, and that Major M'Namara will resign.
At the Cork assizes a verdict of 6001. damages was
obtained against the Great Southern and Western
Itailway Company, the plaintiff being Mr. William
Sutherland, a fish merchant, from Wick, in Scotland,
who suffered severe injuries from falling out of a
second-claws carriage belonging to the company
owing to the door being left unfastened.
