THE IRISH ELECTIONS.

The Dublin correspondent of the Tunes writes :
"Tee spell of 'the Dublin Sir' is broken. Mr. Pim, the
liberal candidate, has been retinue' by • triumphant ma-
jority. The estimate:li of tke people is unheeded. While
I write, Saffolkotreet, in which is Mr. Pim's principal com-
mitter-room, is filled horn mid to end with a cheering multi-
tude, while the polling-boob are being battled up with
cords, it being isoptssib'e to get in through the doors, owing
to the pressure of the crowd. It was • tremendous contest.
Freeman wen brought from all parts of the United Ham-
den; and eves from the Continent, to vote for Mr.
Vance. I am told that 200 of them arrived from
London yesterday. The numbers polls! were
Guinoess, 4,734; Pin, 4,602; Vases, 4,107. Majority,
495 The nambers were announced from the windows
by Alderman Reynold,. Mr. Edward Fox then addressed
the people, congratulating them on the victory obtsiocel by
001OUDDCO over bigotry, deprecating religious and political
differences, and pleading for anion among hightails for the
good of the country. The sort of men they wanted in par-
liament now were sot Venom, but Pima and Guinnessea.
Mr. Pim afterwards addreusd the mot assembly, which re-
speeded with the greatest enthusiasm. The most perfect
order and good homour prevailed luring the day. The
government has pine 1 immensely by the Irish elections so
far as they have been decided. Three borooghs—Portarling.
too, Mallow, and Sligo—have bees won from the Conserva-
tives. Daring the last parliament there wu no law *Soar
of the crown from Ireland is the Home of Commons, ex-
cept during the brief period that Mr. O'llagan represented
Tralee. Now the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General,
and the law adviser will all have seats is parliament. Mr.
Lawson has not only torn returned—he baa displaced a con-
servative, and has opened • family borough, which has now
for the first time returned 'tillers!. This is a great moral
victory. Mr. Sullivan has beaten a conservative, Mr. Long-
field, at Mallow, his retire tows: end, though he is
• protestant end a member of the government, and
was opposed by the pariah priest, be conquered
all opposition, and hie carriage was drawn in triumph
through the town by the people. Mr. Berry, the law
adviser, was opposeil by a conservative, belonging to a
family of great local influence in the county, bathe won by a
large majority. Serjeant Armstrong, a liberal, who is next
on the line for promotion at the Irich bar, has displaced a
eonservative, Mr. M'Donagle, at Slip. These four members
will be eons' to sight on • div,eion. But this does not
imply all the gain to the government secured by these suc-
cesses. They are all foremost men at the bar, men of great
ability, bringing an amount of debating power which will
make them worth MOM than 20 ordinary members. In
fact, there never was a parliament since the passing of the
Emancipation Act in which the Irish government stood so
well, or was so strong, as it will be in the next.
Carlow is another borough rescued from the tarifa, for
though Mr. Sur* may be • little ultra in some things
he will be an accession to the liberal cause. Mr.
Shaw, • genuine liberal, was within four votes of
winning Bandon, the Deny of Munster, from Colonel Ber-
nard, brother to the lord of the soil. This is the second
time Mr. Shaw has contested the borough, and it probably
will not be the last. Newry would have been won bat for
mismanagement. Some liberals would not support Dr.
M'Blain, and when young Mr. Kirk came forward at the
eleventh hour he found them pledged to his opponent. If
his father bad stood for Newry instead of Armagh he would
have been returned. The Dean of Dromore voted for the
liberal candidate, and was grossly insulted by some of the
tory churchmen at the hastiest. Lord John Bay made •
gallsnt fight at Belfast, and if he did not win the battle be
has shown bow it may be won the next time. In so Irish
town has religion been so long dragged into the mule* of
political faction, or been so nuscrapulouly sacrificed to
party objects."

Several of the Irish railway companies have
agreed to make arrangements with the proprietors of mills,
manufactories, he., who employ large numbers of hands,
for the conveyauos of their workpeople to Dublin in largo

pany have ooetraoted for ► very low sum with the proprie-
ton of the Bassbrook Mille, to convey 1,500 of their work-
' people to Dublin this day, to visit the gnat Exhibition,
and to mosey them beck the ram evening. The
mill-
owners and manufacturers of Ireland are now ambled by
the liberelity of the railway oompankes to give their work.
