IRELAND.

Dustier, Dao. 14.
The great aectimulatios of business in the Encum-
bered Estates Court having rendered the appoint-
meet of a fourth commissioner indispensable, Mr.
Stephen Woulfe Flanagan, the very efficient and
popular secretary of the commission, has been pro-
moted to that offioe. Mr. Henry Carey, the present
registrar, has succeeded Mr. Woolfe Flanagan in the
secretaryship, and as at present arranged will fill the
joint offixs of secretary and registrar. These ap-
pointments will be sure to afford general satisfaction.
The &ming Mail, in making the annewicement, says :
" Notwithstanding the trying and delicate nature of
their duties, the commissioners and officials of this
court have so conducted themselves as to occupy a
position below that of no other public functionaries in
the public esteem, and the new commissioner and
secretary have already given ample pledges of their
•
efficteccy and popular qualities."
The commissioners sat yesterday, as anal, for the
purse of effecting isles, on which occasion no fewer
than eight properties were submitted to competition.
The court was well attended, and the tone of the
market was, upon the whole, better than it had
been for the last few weeks. With few excep-
tions, all the lots found ready purchasers, and
prices in some instances were favourable to the
sellers. The estate of the Rev. Mr. Lymberry, in
the county of Waterford, containing 306 acres 8
poles, s'atote measure, and producing an annual
profit rent of 2721. Os. 11d. sterling, ass bought by
Mr. Henry Dix, for 3,0301. A property in the county
of Tipperary, valued, according to the ordnance sur-
vey, at 3831. per annum, subject to tithe and tithe
rent-cloarge,sold for 2,7601. The estates of Mr. Wil-
liam Young, in the counties of Cavan and Longford
were put up in lots—those in the former county con-
sisting of 16, all of which but one were disposed of.
The gross profit rental of the lots sold amountid to
about 1,1951. per annum, which realised the
sum of 15,6801. There were but two lots
In the Longford estate the sale of which
was postponed, owing to an alleged error in the
printed rental; the second comprised lands yielding •
net annual rental of 3091., and produced 3,5001. The
estates of Mr. Maxwell Boyle, also situate in the
county of Cavan, yielding a rental of 7301. parenting',
were offered in eight lots, all of which found par-
shelters, the gross sum realised being 12,8504 A very
small property in Tipperary and King's County pro-
duced 1651. The Galway estates of Mr. William
Kelly, of Kelly's-grove, with a rental of about 1,0001.
a-year, subject to an annuity of 1841. and other
charger, sold for 13,0001. A small property in Cork,
and another in the King's County, produced 4001.
each, and with these concluded the day's sales.
The Limerick election may be said to have been
decided yesterday, although a few voters remained to
be polled yesterday morning. The defeat of the
tenant league candidate was known to be inevitable
for some days past, bat the result of the struggle
between Mr. Geoid and Captain Dickson was quite
unexpected, the latter having kept the lead for the
first two dam and the former having made a most
decisive push in advance yesterday. At the class of
the poll last evening the numbers were :

STATE OT Ta&DL—Tbe following account of im-
provement in Irish trade is Iron the commercial article of
the Evensng l'ost :—" Ia oar tome trade we have again to
remark a steady, although very gradual, improvement. In
Dublin a very lair business is transacted by the wholesale
merchants in tees, ooffees, sugars, and other exciseable srti•
ells. Profits are light; bat cash payments are much more
general than heretofore, and comparatively f.w bills are
taken. The country trade, on the whole, hie booms mush

more healthy ; poor.raties aie dilainielini; and though there
aro complaints of a great influx of beggars from other dis-
tricts in Cork, Limerick, Clonmel, sad other towns, the ea:-
silos for the support of the poor, with the exosptioa of tome
western and a taw souther' unions, is now very considerably
nada the averse amount for the previous three lean.
Another gratifying feature in oar prospects is the tendency
to increase is the derails of the savings banks I. Cork,
