IRELAND.

Datum, Barr. 7.
Lord John Russell will, it is said, leave this on
Saturday next for Belfast, ea route to join her Ma-
jesty at Balmoral. The exact period of his lordship's
depi4are is, I believe, not yet settled. The noble
Premier, not relishing military display, instead of
parading at the " field day " yesterday, paid a visit,
together with Lady John Russell, to the Zoological
Gardens in the park, where an immense assemblage
of visitors was present, attracted thither by &deer-
timmeata.post!d all through the city at an early
hour, intimating the hour of his lahhip's visit.
Having proceeded through the gardens, escorted
by several. of the committee of our Zoolo-
Society, together with the secretary,
Eer!l Ball, his lordship, who was attended
by Mr. Corry Carnelian, private secretary to
Lord Clarendon, proceeded to the city in one of hie
excellency's private carriages. Lady Russell was
also of the company'. The distinguished party pro.
waded to the buildings of the Royal Irish Academy,
in Grafton-street, and were conducted over the
museum, which is very rich in deposits illustrative of
the history and antiquities of Ireland. The library
also was visited; it contains several rare Irish MSS.
Having remained here a considerable thus acquiring
information, his lordship paid a visit to the museum
of economic science, which has been only recently
founded by parliamentary grant, under the superin-
tendence of Sir Robert Bane : with this his lordship
was highly pleased. He thence proceeded to Trinity
College, where his lordship was received by the
provost, and conducted through the magnifloent
library, the dining-hall, and the chapel.
Lord hen afterwards visited the Royal
Dublin Society's buildings, Kildare-street, and
inspected the immense museum, the library, theatre,
and sohools, after which he again left town far the
vies-regal lodge. Mr. Corry Carnelian was in attend-
ance oa his lordship throughout ; bat Lady John
Rowell having had more manifestation of curious in-
terest devoted towards her early in the day than was
convenient did not enter into any of those places, but
continued to drive about, until her noble sponse had
concluded his series of visits.

The camp at Turtling having separated on Wednes-
day, the 74th and the 85th Light Infantry marched
for this city. On the same day Major-Gen. M.Donald,
with his aides-de-camp, CoL Pennefather and Capt.
M'Kenzie, left for Kilkenny. Previous to his de-
parte" the gallant general issued the following
rural order, which will be read with interest as
indicating the general's sentiments respecting the con-
duct and bearing of this body of troops :
Marks, Sept. 9, 1848.—flajor-Oen. M‘Doaald having
been directed to hold the troops under his command in me-
dians to break up their encampment and to be placed in
quarters, takes this opportunity of renaming his very
warmest thanks to the officers commanding the regiments
and detachments of which the " moveable column" has been
composed, and requests they will have the goodness to convey
the same to times under their commuted. He has not tailed
to bring to the notice of his superiors, nor is he him-
self likely to forget, the abesoeo of crime, and
the admirable discipline which has been maintained
—the seal and cheerful alacrity with which every
order hes beim executed through a continued series
of wet and imiessent weather. Although the major-general
rejoices that ea the present *melon the services of the troops
were not requital in actsal still their readiness and
loyalty ware very manifest, and he could not wish for better
men or sasses should he be called upon to meet the enemies
of his Queen sad etnantry.—(Signed) K. klKautstn, Major
of Brigade.
The Limerick paper again reverts to the extermina-
tions in Clare, and gives a de ad of 112 families, com-
prising nearly 1,000 souls, evicted on the properties
of five proprietors in several portions of that county,
principally in the west of Clare.
The Galway piper announces that Mr. James
Henry Monahan, her Majesty's Attorney General for
lrelimd, is about to address the con.titneucy of Gal-
way. How the vacancy is to arise does not clearly
appear, but probably Mr. M. J. Blake, one of the pre-
sent members, and who is well known to care little
for parliamentary position, woul 1 retire. If this
should be so, then, despite the repealer* of the two
schools in Galway, in the present temper of the times
Mr. Monahan would probably be returned unopposed.
Successful he would doubtless be.
Mr. Ma4da, if the firm of Belly, Brothers, London,
was arrested in Waterford on Tuesday on suspicion.
He had reoently returned from America, and having
gone into a cutler's in Lady-lane, Waterford, to in-
quire respecting bacon knives, suspicion thence arose.
