IRELAND.

DrELIN, SATVEDAY EVENING.
Mr. Serjeant Shea has declined the proffered
h. nour of a seat for Longford, and the liberal electors
of that county are at this moment in a desperate
fix'' for a candidate. The difficulty in which they
are placed is the more provoking as the election will
commence before the close of next week, and at pre-
sent I believe they arc unable to select any suitable
person for the purpose. Mr. Serjeant Sheit's excuse,
I undendand, was private arrangements which inter-
fered, although it was very generally understood that
he wished to have a seat in parliament.
The friends of Mr. John O'Connell in Limerick
have succeeded, after repented efforts, in getting the
vote of censure passed against him by the corpora-
tion rescinded.
The emigration from all parts of the country is
proceeding at a most rapid rite. One of the provin-
cial papers of this day, the Drogheda Argos, states
as an instance of its progress that ten carts laden
with emigrants passed the office door in one day this
week. and that a thousand lemons had emigrated
from a single property in the comity of Monaghan.
The Liverpool steamer which sailed yesterday from
Waterford had what is described an a •• monster
freight" of emigrants for America; and another
steamer carried off nearly 200 emigrants from the
same port on Tuesday last.
The Banner ,!,* Ulster states that a cross erected
as an architectural decoration on a new church at
Reif:lst was pulled down before the workmen had
arrived on Wednesday morning
The council of the 'lrish tenant league have been
inviting Mr. John Stuart Mill, the eminent writer
on political ceotomy, to allow himself to he put
in nomination for an Irish county on tenant-right
principles. Mr. Mill has replied in a letter, dated
. " India House, March 24. amid after acknowledging
in flattering terms the honour which the proposition
conferred on him, states that a seat in parliament
would be considered incompatible with his office in
the India House. _ _

Alderman Rooney and Dr. Canaan apivared yes-
terday before the nmgistrates to answer a complaint
for forging voting papers for the election of poor law
guardians. The ease of Alderman Rooney only was
entered into, and although it would appear that some
voting papers were really filled up on the occasion
in question without the ColltillTellee of the parties
whose names were affixed to them, still the magis-
trates being of opinion that there was no legal fraud
in the matter, the charge was dismis-ed.
The proposed new valuation of Ireland has become
a subject of general discussion. All parties agree
that it is very much mquimd ; and, in fact, tin pro-
posing it the government would only WON o have
yielded to the necessity which the facts every day
elicited in the Encumbered Estates Court had shown
to exist ; but wane clauses in the new bill are almost
universally objected to. This is especially the (11.413
with the averages of market prices proposed to la
fixed as a staudanl for the new valuation, which all
admit would be much too high under the altered
state of things. Them are also complaints against
the machinery of the bill.
