IRELAND.

DoiLis, Nov. 18.

Mr. Thomas Hutton, head of the firm of Hutton
and Sons, which deservedly ranks amorg the highest
in the mercantile and manufacturing classes of Dub-
lin, has announced his hostility to the abolition of
the Irish Viceroyalty, although he objects to the
pledge to that effect which is demanded from the can-
didates for the municipal elections. His adhesion,
however, so far to the movement on this subject has
given great satisfaction to the popular party, and is
deemed quite sufficient for the purpose.
The .Derry Standard mentions the following in-
stance of reduction of rents :

We are glad to learn that William Lecky Brown, Big.,
of Comberhoune, county Derry, has, in consequence of a
conference with his tenantry, granted Mum a reduction of
26 per cent. Ons shilling in the pound of this is for drain-
ing. We are informed that be fleet offend only 10 per cent.
The Unarm said this would be wholly inadequate, and they
offered to throw up the laud on being paid for the tenant
right. The reduction above mentioned was then made.
Mr. Brown has f ur other towslends which require ledge-
tint as muck as Muldoney, and which, of course, will be
treated with the tame liberal measure, which elicited from
the tenantry three hearty cheen.

The result of the government investigation con-
cerning the death of the pauper boy belonging to the
Miltown Ma,bay workhouse, ha been the lodging Cl
informations for manslaughter against the master of
the Ennistymon workhouse, who bee, however, been
admitted to bail to take his trial at the next Ennis
assizes.

The Mayor of Cork and Chairman of the Town
Cxamissioners of Galway have received the follow•
log queries from Lord Hobart, Secretary to the Trans-
atlantic Packet Station Commissioners. It would
appear from the general purport of the queries that a
port of call only is intended for Ireland, audio that
ease some place in Cork will no doubt be selected;
but it must be also observed, that should such be the
result, no material advantage will ever be derived
from it by this country. A village of a dozen houses
would suffice for such a purpose; and such a village
might enjoy for piers all the privileges of such a port
without being considerably improved itself, or being
the medium of conferring the slightest benefit on the
surrounding country.

" 2. In what degree the contract price with government

3. How far would the facilities and advantagee to par

4. It it should not ho ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; to establish

would it be advantageous to adopt one as the port at which
every packet should touch either outward or inward bound

it would take its outward departure with the mails, &a, and
io return land there ?

5. If any port in Ireland, whether it be adopted either for
a packet station, or for • port to touch at for final departure.

6. Are there grounds for supposing that the adoption of a
port in Ireland, so the terminus of the voyages of mall
packets, would divert peemogers and goods to the eompetiog
lines of steamers running from New York to Liverpool and
to Howe, so as to materially effect the income of the contract
mail line or that it would call into existence any additional
competition ?
7. What may be considered the remunerating amount of
receipts per voyage, out and borne, for such packets ?
