IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.
The Earl of Shrewsbury has sent a subserijaion of
1501. to the funds of the Catholic University. It is
stated that Lord Shrewsbury has forwarded by the
same post a subscription of 501. to the Catholic De-
fence Association.
Another candidate has appeared in the &hi for
Kinsale, in the person of Mr. Hamilton (kale, a
barrister, of this city. Mr. Geale is first in the field
with his address, in which he says:
Long suit conscientiously attached to the great caw° of
civil and religious liberty, if returned by you to I)3l.ll.m:eat,
you may rely with confidence upon my steady adherence to
rilv principles, and that, fully recognising the religious
differences which divide our common country, I will
strongly resist, as injurious to its best interests, all legisla-
tion that touches upon the fullest and freest religious tolera-
tion. lam in favour of a just and equitable prot..etion to
native agriculture, and without seeking to set aside the re-
cent free trade policy, I think the agriculturists of Great
Britain and Ireland have a right either to 11 moderate
fisted duty, or at least to that adjustment of taxation which
Nl.ttilloth and other free trade authorities admit they are
entitled to. . _

The following address to the Lords of the Trea-
sury, agreed to by the Tullamoro Board of Guardians.
is of interest, us being the first expression of an
opinion by any of the Irish unions on the recent
reasury minute:
On the 20th day of August, 1851, the Tullarriore gulr-
diaus, in deference to the law, allocated a splxilie portioa of
the rates of each of the electoral divisions of the union to
the repayment of the first instalment of the annuity im-
posed upon them, and they have now read the Treasury
minute of the plat October with much gratification, nut 90
much from the pecuniary. relief to he derived from its ope-
ration in this union, as its beneficial effect is limited to six
electoral divisions, us on account of its tendency to allay tho
sentiments of depression and irritation winch were fist
taking possession of all classes in Ireland. The inspwition
on the distressed unions of a ruinous addition to their

enormous existing hurtheits, coupled with the simul-
taneous, incessant, vituperation of the Irish people, seemed to
irretragaltit oritul that the gusernittent, and an in-
fluential portion of the English press, were leagued together
in their LLcsire, AV well an w their lturts, to solve the Irish
difficulty, by driving the whole nation beyond the reach of
oppression and obloquy. The appearance or the exist-
ence if this unholy compact has, by this treasury minute,
been happily remitted, and we trust that a kintliiir nod
more reasonable tone, in animadverting upon the errors of
Irishmen, will follow, as it certainly will if the dominant
and prosperous nation do but calmly and impartially scan
the extent of their own respsmsibility fur the errors and
poverty whicl they loath in us; and wo hope this exhi-
bition of a better spirit on the part of tho government and
people of England will not be too late to arrest that (cartel
outpouring of our population, which threatens such disas-
trous results ultimately to Great Britain herself, though
more immediately to that portion of the Irish nation
which still continues hopelessly to cling to the govern-
ment and institutions of Fandaml."
The judicial committee of the privy council pro-
nounced judgment yesterday in another appeal front
the Encumbered Estates Court, and in this, as in all
the previous eases, confirmed the judgment of the
court below. The appeal was in the matterof James
W. Wall, owner.
' The greater portion of the potatoes throughout the
country are now dug in, and the agricultural reports
describe the crops as being, in general, much safer
than had been anticipated.

The Cork Ilym•teor stuns up several important pri-.
vileges that have recently been contbrred, at tho

esteem in which the noble curl is regarded by that
most important society.

Hoe GAatlll.lSo.—lt has been ascertained that the
amount of duty has, this year, been obtained by private
parties before the returns have reached the Central Office
of Inland Revenue at Broad-street. This has engaged the
serious attention of the authorties, and steps will next rur
be taken to prevent such an abuse of confidence. Hop bet-
ting has, therefore, been brought to a sudden termination
this year, wad the publication of the returns deprived of
their usual: intcred.—Surrey Standard.
MR. FREWEN ON TUE HOP-DUTIRS AND THE
coot: TAx.—Mr. Frewen, M.P., has published a letter in
the Sussex Express on the subject of the late deputation to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of the hop-
duties. The honourable member expressos his satisfaction
at the fact that the hop planters are about to meet, at Battle,
to promote the repeal; and he adds, '.l only hope it will be
wed attended, and the subject fully discussed, as I cannot
come to any other conclusion than this, via., that we must
either fight for a total repeal of the hop duty, or be content
to remain as we are, and I do net think the Sussex planters
will long be able to bear up under the present state of thina,s."
Mr. Frewen thus speaks of the approaelsing s.wsion
I think the next session in likely to prove MI eventful one.
The first great difficulty the government will have vi meet
is the income-tar, which, as Mr. Disraeli says, is the key-
stone to the arch. When this tax was first imp:wed, in 1342,
Sir R. Peel said it should not be extended to Ireland, be-
cause it was only fora temporary purpose; but we have
now paid it fur ten years, and the Irish have been free from
it. it is to be continued any longer Ireland must pay her
proportion of it; there is no reason why they should be
exempt, and if only 328 English and Scotch members out of
611 vote for extending it to Ireland, that will be a majority
of the House of Continents; or, in other words, if no mare
than 200 English and Scotch members vote against extend-
ing it to Ireland, it is even then yet proltable that the deci-
sion of the house will be the other way. But it will depend
entirely upon the votes of the Irish members, whether this
tax is continued at all, as they can make a difference of
more than '2OO on a division. I hope it is unnecessary for
me to tell you that I do not wish to see this Its imposed
upon Ireland, as I think it ought to lie abolished. it is
monstrous to hove a war tax nth r five and thirty years of
Theo 1 nosy ho asked, how is the eletaauney in the
revenue to be made up, if the inconto tax is not to be conti-
nued? Ido not think i o scigiafitit auy very great in-
genuity on the part of Ante nuttutr to au!
this deficiency in other - old*, m..:.a0
of two millions by a attepitiou fu all mJnay
laws."
