IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jura; 26.
The startling intelligence from Paris, conveyed here
to-day in an extraordinary express of the Daily News,
has been a subject of extreme interest through politi-
cal circles. It is not calculated to stimulate the cause
of the sympathisers with revolution here, and it will
in all probability very materially check the projected
organisation against law and order.
One of the parties who were arrested yesterday, on
returning from the Donnybrook meeting, was sent for
trial from the police court to-day ; one was fined 21.,
and some others were called on to find bail to keep
the peace.
A privy council is being held to-day at the Castle.
It is supposed to be connected with the possible defeat
of the ministry on the Sugar Duties Bill. There has
been considerable excitement throughout the day, in
consequence of a rumour that an express had arrived
to the Earl of Clarendon announcing the dissolution
of the ministry.
A club recently established in the south has ordered
a supply of political enlightenment from head-quar-
ters. Among the original instructors ordered from
the metropolis are the Irish Felon and the National
Guard. Singular nutriment will the Guard supply !
The " League " still hangs in suspense. The adhe-
sion of the catholic clergy in such numbers has
given fresh hopes to the friends of the union. Among
the most recent and influential is 1)r. Feeny, Bishop
of Killala, who, however, qualifies his allegiance by
asserting that he will enter into no political society
which does not seek to compass its end by " peaceful,
legal, and constitutional means." Dr. Dawson, also
of Ardagh, the first who "pronounced "against the
abandonment of the Repeal Association, has retracted.
He could not resist the influence of so many prelates,
and therefore adopts the principles of the league. Mr.
Maher, M.P. for 'Tipperary, has written resisting any
fusion until the confederates give a more solid
I guarantee.

THE St•stmes ASSIZES are fixed rather earlier than usual
this year, perhaps to enable the ministers of justice to shake
off their circuit duet, and pay their respects to the sovereign
should she honour us with her presence in August.
REPEAL ARSOCIATION.—POSTPONEMENT.—ConsiderabIt
disappointment was felt to-day at the further postponement
of the meeting at Conciliation Hall, an announcement on
the door informing all repeaters that the committee had de-
cided on adjourning further to the 10th July. Several
hundreds were in and around the approaches to the hall at
the usual hour and bore the disappointment very grum-
blingly. Mr. John O'Connell was the subject of convent-
lion among the groups into which the crowd broke up, and
was spoken of in language neither measured nor compli-
ment ary.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, lONE 26.
A public meeting of the spirit trade, and of others

Rooms, Edinburgh, this day, for the purpose of con-
sidering the Spirit Dealers Bill, just introduced into
parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
following resolutions were passed.
