IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MARIE 11.
The citizens of Dublin seemed willing enough yes-
terday to give Lord Derby's Viceroy a cordial reap-
tiers, not indeed for his master's sake, or for the poli-
tical principles which he represents, but under the
impression that there is something in the character
of the man himself which may merit their esteem,
and for tho sake of the chivalrous spirit which they
are predisposed to give him credit for. It is plain,
however, that the tory party in Ireland are unwilling
to let their countrymen rest under the delusion that
everything is to be allowed to go on smoothly, and
that they ore not to be made to feel that their old
enemies have obtained a triumph. As yet, indeed,
it is only on the part of the younger and
rasher members of the party that any demonstration
has been made, but it is hard to say how long it may
be confined to them. Nothing could have been more
unseemly or insulting than the conduct of the stu-
dents of Trinity College yesterday. They seemed
resolved to revive the old Orange scenes of riot in
their worst phase. As soon as the vice-legal pro-
cession had passed the college, an Orange flag, with
the figure of King William was displayed, and tho
police, in attempting to remove it, were resisted.
The students, armed with sticks, rushed out in great
numbers, and the conflict which ensued wai for some
time of such a character as to excite serious alarm
among the inhabitants in the neighbourhood. Many
of the police were struck down, and severely hurt ;
but they succeeded in carrying off a large number
of prisoners, who were at once brought before the
magistrates at College-street police-otlice, when tho
following cases were disposed uf:

James Molony, for collecting stones in College-green, for
the purpose of throwing Burin the affray, ss. Joseph

In the coarse of the night the students renewed
the riots two or three times, and several of them
were arrested, and will be brought before the magis-
trates this morning.
The venerable and patriotic Lord Cloncurry, who
is an extensive landed proprietor in the county of
Kildare, has addressed the people of that county in
the following terms :
An humble, but not the Last sincere of your friends,
though retired from public life, thinks it a paramount duty
to call your attention to the ad.ln saes for the approaching
election. No candidate says a word shout rep. al ; yet is
repeal the one thing needful, she only hope for the salva-
tion or regeneration of your country. It is, I verily
believe, the heart-felt desire of sine-tenths of the honest
and thinking men of Ireland, dirmant though it be in our
misery. But great emphasis seems laid on the subject
of religion. Ireland can never prosper whilst any dif-
ference exists amongst us on that subject, or any desire to
interfere with or inquire into the feeling. or opinions
of our neighbours. Protection also is is favourite
cry, and • very foolish one, which will not lambus
the people of England, nor, I hope, my sharp-
witted countrymen. Wheat we should not attempt to
grow—in oats, flax, potatoes, green crops, and cattle, we
stand unrivalled. There need be no misunderstanding
about tenant-right: the landlord is dependent on the tenant,
as the tenant on him; their interests must go together, if
either party are to prosper. Cureless and absentee land-
lords have suffered in these add times as will as their
tenants; a mutually beneficial agreement should be made
in open court, and enforced. As to the elective franchise, it
belongs exclusively to the tenant, and should be protected
by the ballot. I never dared to dictate on such • subject ,•
the dishonest man who would corrupt our electors would
sell his country. Our misfortunes have been greatly en-
hanced by the dishonest men who, pretending to be re-
peaters, sold themselves to the ministers fur paltry places,
and prevented you from recovering the conatitutiim of 1782.
—Your affectionate friend, C LON CV WM.

AN UNFOUNDED RuNotra.—A statement hating
been made by the Record to the effect that a considereble
number of the members of the congregation of St. Paul's,
Brighton, had recently seceded to Romanis. the Brighton
Guardian publishes a letter from the Itev.W. Wesley, curate
of that church, distinctly denying that there is the slightest
ground for the assertion, and showing that " no one single
member of the congregation of St. Paul's has, either re-
cently or at any former time, joined the Church of Rome."
FATAL ACCIDENT AT HAMPTON-COURT PALACE.
—An inquest was held at Hampton-court Palace on Wed-
nesday, before F. J. Manning, Esq., coroner of her Ma-
jesty's household, and a jury, composed of the yeomen
oSeers of the palaae, on the body of Miss Julia Gordon, a
young lady aged 16 years, one of the daughters of Lord
Henry Gordon, residing in Hampton-court Palace, who
met with her death by the accidental burning of her night
dregs. The young lady was in the habit in the morning of
sitting near the fire in the study, which was near her bed-
room, with no other clothes on than her night dress. On
Saturday morning the nurse was alarmed by perceiving her
running out of the study enveloped in flames, with no
ether covering than her night dress, which was partially
burnt upwards. The screams of the young lady attracted
the attention of Lady Henry Gordon, aho rushed from
her bed room, and succeeded in extinguishing the
Names, bat not without suffering severely in the
attempt. The unfortunate young lady was so severely
burned, that notwithstanding the constant attendance and
care of Mr. Baker, surgeon, of Hampton Court, she lin-
gered In great agony until four o'clock on Monday morning,
when she expired. The Jury returned a verdict of "Acct-
dental Death." Lady Henry Gordon is an invalid, and

Lowe Sorrow.—A whole family, at Long Sutton,
have been nearly poisoned from partaking of a pudding
boiled in • pan which had been recently used by a relation
for boiling ar.enie. It had been itubiequentty scalded, and
this was deemed sufficient to avert any dl effect..
CRUELTY TO A eillt.D.—The particulars of a very
melancholy ease of parental cruelty transpired at an inquest
held on the body of the sufferer, a little boy named Juba Le
Tort, about three years of age, at the Thatched House
Tavern, Duddeston-row, on AVednesday evening last. The
deceased was the son of William Le Tort, • travelling
equestrian, who, together with his wife, the deceased, and
another child two years older, had occupied apartments for
about a week previously at a beer-house called the Great
Gun, and he was being trained by his father to the per-
formance of gymnastic and other feats peculiar to the pro-
fession to which the latter belonged. Lc Tort was seen elides-
souring to make the deceased stand head downwards upon
his bands, and each time the poor little fellow failed in doing
so, which he did from weakness, his father caught hold of
him and shook Lim &evenly, and then dashed him appa-
rently with great force to the ground. The poor boy was
afterwards found extended upou the ground in a dying
state, and he expired • few moments before the arrival of
Mr. Simons, a surgeon. Le Tort, when spoken to on the
subject, seemed much shocked, and said that he via. turn-
ing the deceased a somersault, and instead of alighting on
his feet, as he should have done, he fell upon his lewd, and
that canoed his death. This wits the whole of the positive
evidence bearing on the care that could be obtained, and
the inquiry at this stage was adjourned until the follow-
ing day, in onler that Mr. Simons might make •
post owlets examination. Meanwhile, Ix Tort was
taken into custody, and on the re-assembling of the
ay, Mr. Simons described • number of
'CT on
anTharirsd'inis which lie had found upon various
sets of the body of the direascil, who, he said, had been a
healthy welldeveloped child, and went on to state that an

of the age of the deceased, hissing such bruises on his body,
was not in a proper condition to perform vigorous gymnastic
exercises with safety to his life. The fury returned • ver-
dict of manelaught.r against William Le Tort. On Friday,
Le Tort, whose real name turns out to be Fitsmartiu,
was mans taken before the coroner, and fully committed
to take his trial at the ensuing assiacs.—Birmingham
