IRELAND.

DITILIN, JOLT 31.
I refer you below for an account of our stationed
preparations to receive her Majesty. It has not yet
been decided whether there should be illuminations
here. Opinion is very divided on this point. The
corporation is to present a complimentary address to
mince Albert.
The Muter of the Rolls yesterday launched forth
another anathema against the appointment of attornies
es receiver, and justified himself at some length
against the strictures of Master Litton. He quoted
Sir Edward Sugdcn in support of his views, and
announced that there would be a parliamentary
inquiry during next session into the whole system of
the Masters officers in the Irish chancery. He con-
cluded his observations by saying, with reference to
the case in which Muter Litton dissented so strongly,
" Who is the solicitor in the matter? Who is the
receiver? and who is the solicitor for the receiver?
I will call for reduce in this matter which will
throw some light upon Master Litton's opinion." '
Your readers may
.not be aware that the present
Master of the Rolls in Ireland is the same gentleman
who, while prosecuting O'Connell in 1844, wanted
to fight a duel with one of the opposite counsel. He
was the only Irish barrister who had the courage to
beard Lord Chancellor Plunket when the latter, on
one occasion was extremely overbearing. Mr.
Smith is a straightforward end honourable man, and
on this occasion has apparently taken high public
ground, though there must be many exceptions to the
ride he has laid down.
Muter Litton was a rival political barrister,
whose pretensions were considerably abated by the
moderate estimate taken of his talents by the same con-
servative statesman who set sip Mr. smith so tar
above Mr. Litton. Doubtless Mr. Litton thinks that
"the last should be first, and the first should be
lest." On the whole, the /rotor causes much amuse-
ment in the legal world.
Miss Prendergast's murderer has been capitally
convicted, and sentenced to be hanged.
