DVWLIN, JAN. 20.
THE CARLOW ELECTION.

- -- •
The combined efforts of those ill-conditioned insti-
tutions, the Carlton Club and the Irish Tenant-
League, which have worked most cordially together,
have been successful in the congenial locality of Car-
low, the most corrupt of the Irish constituencies, and
that favoured abode of money-grubbing, bigotry,
stench, and Romanism has this time been lost to the
liberals. It is indeed quite certain that the barks would
not have been successful if depending on their own
resources, notwithstanding the well known want of
political character of a certain proportion of the elec-
tors ; but the Tenant-League played so effectually into
their hands, and worked with such desperate animosity
against Mr. Sadleir, that their mischievous influence
turned the nicely balanced scale, and secured the
triumph of the Orange candidate. At the close of
the poll at five o'clock last evening the numbers
were :

Alexander
&Wick

Majority for Alexander
Some hours earlier the majority of Mr. Alexander
had been eight, but the subsequent polling reduced
it to six. %ery few voters polled after one o'clock.
The letters of Archbishop M•Hale and Mr. Moore
were posted about the town; and although the
league deputation had been compelled to leave the
town ignominiously on Saturday, their emissaries and
friends were industrious in carrying out the object
of that mission.

It is rumoured that ►lr. M. Dunne, M.P. for the
Queen's County, will accept the Chiltern Hundreds
to cruet a vacancy for Mr. Sadleir.
The Limerick Eamminer states that the present go-
verntuent has determined to prosecute in the Sizmile-
bridge affair ; and that the Attorney-General will
attend the Clare Assizes for the purpose of conduct-
ing the procCedings against the military and Mr.
Delmege.

Mr. Cecil Lawless, M.P., complains of the sup-
pression of his letter by the tenant league, at their
recent meeting. Mr. Lawless now publishes his
letter, in which, addressing the Rev. David Bell, he

says:
Sir,—l, for one, do not intend to join, at present, in attack
or cabal against these men (Messrs. Sadleir and Keogh), for
I know that many who are organising the agitation against
them have other reasons besides the palate good for such
hostility, but when the proper time, as I judge it, comes,
none will be more ready to denounce the deserters, from
what I thought would have been a useful Irish party, than
your very faithful servant, CECIL LAWLESS.

The Evening Mail bears the following testimony
to the high character of the newly-appointed Cantle
law adviser:

We announced in last publication that Mr. Corbin,
Q.C., had been appointed Law Adviser to the Castle. We
did so with much satisfaction, our respected fellow-citizen,
Mr. Corbellis, being in every way worthy of my distinction
in the power of government to bestow. A Roman catholic,
sincere, as we believe, in his religious convictions, his con-
duct has always evinced that, in his mind, the principles
of free British citizenship prevailed over those of Roman
serfdom.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-Duutx,

WIDNES/MX.
THE QUERN IP. PIOPIIIETOR OP THE " ANGLO CILT.'

SIMILZ-BRIDOI Arr.us.
Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., applied for a conditional order for
a new trial in this cage, on the part of the defendant, who
had been foun 1 guilty of a libel upon the officers and men
of the 31st regiment. The grounds on which the applica-
tion was made were—that evidence had been rejected
which should have been received; that there had been a
mis-trial, in consequence of the jury having been allowed
to separate without consent before the conclusion of the
trial ; and that the judge had misdirected the jury.
The smut intimated that its decision on the motion would
be pronounced to-morrow morning.
