IRELAND.

DVIIILIN, MAICII 8.
The correspondence which has passed between the
Irish government and a body. styled the " Hospital
Grants Committee," originating in the Dublin Cor-
poration, was read yesterday at a meeting of the
Town Council. It appears
.from it that the govern-
'went are resolved not to yield to the clamour that
boa been raised here to have the grants to the Dublin
hospitals not merel7 allowed to remain as they are,
without further diminution, but restored to their
finer extreme amount.
The Lord Liestenant, ecoompa.uied by the Hon.
Mr. Eliot, Major Bagot, Captain Molyneux, the
Hon. Mr. Bourke, B:c., visited the Great Industrial
Exhibition Building yesterday, and minutely exa-
mined the progress of the works.

DCILTS, MARCH 9:

Mr. Lowry Balfour has been appointed by the
Lord Lieutenant to the office of secretary to the
order of the Knights of St. Patrick, vice the Hon.
Robert Boyle, who hair resigned, that he may offer
himself to be re-elected for Frome—having lost his
seat for that borough in consequence of holding the
office referred to.
Another of the great arches over the central hall
of the Great Exhibition building was raised to its
place yesterday, with comparatively much facility,
and it is probable that the whole of them will have
been erected by the end of the present week. The
work of decoration and internal finishing is carried
on with all possible speed and energy in the other
halls; and it is expected that the effect of the build-
lag, when completed, will greatly exceed any anti-
cipations of it which the published designs could
have enabled one to form.
A small fee simple property in the county of Kil-
dare, sold yesterday in the Incumbered Estates Court,

The proverbial charity of the metropolis, ravenous
almost in its search for suitable object., has rarely hit upon
one sore remarkable for Re substantial, although unobtru-
sive, utility them that form of disease which is the peculiar
can of the City of London Truss Society. It is well known
,that the malady sought to be relieved is exceedingly gen.-
ral ; that it arises from ao excess on the part of the patient,
and that expenalos iseeltanical apparatus form the only
effectual remade fee its attacks. To meet the necessities of

The asaulliblier of the society was held yesterday at

THE ~

The Royal Mail Screw steam-ship Australian, is
still at anchor in the Sound. She was taken oat for trial
trips on Thursday and on Saturday, hat the result weasel
stansiently satisfactory to warrant her proceeding on her
voyage. On Saturday Captain Lowe, the inspector of mail
packets at this port, went out in the Australian, and was
accompanied by Mr. Terser Assistant Master Shipwright,
sad Mr. Stewart, engin vr, from** dockyard.—Mr. Wake.
Reid the company's engineer, was also on board, as were
,Mr. Marks, the postmaster, and Mr. Frederick Braithwaite,
of London, engineer, who represents the Chartered Ass-
Italian Land Company. Captain Lowe took the vessel
some miles beyond the Eddystone, submitting the en-
gines to • fair and proper test. On her Islam to
the gonad, • signal was mad. " not ready far sm."
The defects appear to be now confined to her en-
gines. It is said that in the last voyage the bed-
plans of these became leave, and that the braces which
wen put to rapport them work from three-eighths to
half an inch at each stroke of the piston. 'Chem are great
diamilties also in working the engines at • 'laciest power
to obtain the speed required by the contract, namely, ten
knots as hour. When worked beyond what will produce
eight knots, the vibration is such as to render it n
to cheek the speed. Sir Robert Nicket, Kt., Major—
the newly-appointed commander-in-chief of the colony, sad
the other passenger, have presented Mr. Braithwaite •
letter, expressive of their obligations for the interest he has
shown in the welfare and sifety of the ship. The pat-
seagen are much dissatisfied with the delay, and the state
of the engines, and have expressed their grievances in • de-
claration which has been forwarded to London, by Captain
Baker, R.N., as a deputation from the passengers.
The Genial Screw Steam Shipping Company's steamer
Hellespont,_ Captain Watts, sailed for the Cape via Aus-
tralia, on Thursday last, and took out such letters and
papers se were addressed "per Hellespant."— The Western
