IRELAND.

Jumn 29.
It would appe tr, from a letter in the Freetwit's
Journal, from Sir Percy Nugent, that a strange mis-
take hes been m•de in all Its newspapers about the
arrival ot the Viceroy at Halifax, making the result
or bar esperimental trip appear less favourable than
it was in reality. Sir Percy dates, on the authority
of a private letter from Halifax, and of the entries in
Lloyd's Lin, that the Viceroy arrived at HAM= at 5
p tar. on the lOih huggers! the Canada from Liverpool
en the following day at awe, the previous arecoents
being that the Canada arrived some five or six hours
before the Viceroy. The bate. steamer is expested at
Galway on Monday or Toads,. nest.
I- is understood that Mr. Henry CoUes,of the Lein-
star circuit, has been appointed to the °Su of
taxing-muster, vacant be the death of the late Mr.
Clancy. The salary is 600, • year, but the appoint-
nt is of more interest hers than its value in point
of salary would imp:y, as the solicitors have long been
asurting their right to have it given to one of their
profession and not to a barrister. The appointment
of Mr. Callen, though he is a barrister, is, however,
lately to afferd saishatices.
The Newry Examiner, a payer of strictly liberal
pinciples, contains an article oa the spread of ribon-
,
which deserves more attention than what we
genorally find on that subject in the Irish papers.
Ti. Monsieur inserts that riboakas not only coo-
tisane to mist, bat is suffered to flourish, no effectual
=Theis( taken for its suppression; and the way-
laying mastless, which en often shows itself, is stated
to be the immediate offspring of a ribon organiza-
tion. "We grieve to say" observes the Newry paper,
"that in Louth there has been an =crease of marked
indications of the progress of ribonient ; the number
of persons charged with the cowardly crime of way-
laying brings conviction base upon the point to all
who do not resist the evidence of fact& Ribonises
secludes the whole system of waylayiog ; the plot
against life or property is hatched in the na
lodge and executed by the ribon agents." If such
statements as this appear in the organs which usually
trade in paragraphs of slander against the country, it
would be taken of wane, eras grass lull, and attract
little, if any, attention ; but, as it is to be nppoced
that such a tournal as the Newry Bsaminer has soma
ground for its statements on Gosh a subject, the article
I refer to is deserving of observation.
