IRELAND.

Drai.iv, Fl6ll. 10.

The titi :gist possible interest is excited litre be the
terial measure. The reading rooms are eroy.vdtd,
and the tx wsparr office,' besieged, but the purport
of the mw bill is still imperfectly understood.
Fiery one complains of the Vagueness of the l're-
mier's statements; hut one thing se ems plain enough,
nt Mist to the lionimi catholic parts-, namely, that
lord Clarendon has been less friendlyy to them than
they expected, and that, as they ten;lude from the
words of Lewd John Russell, it was by him the atten-
tion of government was called to thi• assumption by
Archbishop Cullen of the title of primate in the
edticiul document of the Synod of Thurles. Nothing
exectsl the indignation of the freeman's Journal
and their party on this point.
The following statement is worthy of particular
at million. It appears in &otnikrs's News L,ller, in
the columns of which paper the first intimation of
the viceroyalty abolition and other government mea-
sures affecting Ireland was given, and I have besides
good rew-cal fur believing that the present rumour is
well founded:
A itysimi is said to be now in emloffo to " consolidate," as
it no.-d, the business in the offices of the law courts,
with a snow, in the end, to have only one court instend of
three ; and one of the pnliminary steps is to ham a single
master inst. ad of an Witter acting in the Queen's Bench and
rs in the Common l'leas and Exchequer, IN at present.

at tbi. time, although a denial that such a step is intended

design to change the eabring state of things, w, far as the
public business of the law courts is concerned, until after

RIOT IN BARIIAM UNION HOUSE.-TRE

MILITARY CALLED OCT.

On Sunday evening a serious riot occurred in the
above union, situate five miles from Ipswich. It appears that
there were in the house upwards of one hundred men, able
and willing to work, but they could not get employment.
During the last few weeks muchdiscontent had been shown
by the men. This disaffection broke out on Sunday even-
ing in open rebellion ; the men rose in a body, and began by
smashing the windows. They destroyed every window in
the house, pulled down all the partitions, and burnt the
books, furniture, &c. They then took possession of the
larder, and ate up everything upon which they could lay
their hands ; they broached and drank out the beer, which,
of course, added to their previously excited state.
lu the midst of this confusion the governor and his wife
ran away. leaving the house in possession of the rioters.
The eluurnian of the board, the Rev. F. Stewart, of Bark-
ing, upon receiving information, was quickly on the spot.
lle found them using every effort to fire the house. The
policemen could not effect an entrance ; he therefore rode
to the barracks at Ipswich, and a troop of Lancer*, under
the command of Captain Peel, were quickly on the spot;
but they were of an use, as they could not act on foot.
Vltinsately some special constables and policemen effected
an entrance, and a regular melee ensued—brickbats on one
side and staves and endemics+ on the other. Thy drunken
men were, however, soon overcome, and upwards of :A
taken into custody, handcuffed, and secured. The injury
done to the house is very great.
