IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jcvt 17.
Lord Chancellor Brady and Sir Edward Btakeney,
the commander oldie toren in Ireland, wen yesterday
sworn in Lords Justice., during the absence cf the
Lord Lieutenant. At the Privy Council held on the
guano' a proclamation was issued constituting Bel-
last as the amiss tows for tt • county of Antrim.
At a meeting lately held in Dublin to express the
opinions of the citizens on the restrictions to which
Mr. Smith O'Brien was subjected in the penal settle-
ment of Maria Island, language wee employed in a
moment of excitement by Mr. Charles Gavin Duffy,
the editor of the Notion, which was promptly con-
densed by the chairman, Mr. Houghton, and which
excited the surprise and indigestion of the public
xeserelly as soon as it appeared in print. The objec-
tionable passage in Mr. Duff's speech was to the fol-
lowing affect :—" I abhor all outrage against a
woman ; I abhor all ecareeness against a woman; but
I tell the whig ministry from this place. as I told
them from other plasm. and as I shall sot fail to tell
them, that while Smith O'Brien is in Maria Island,
they shall not dare to bring the Queen of England
into this island." Whatever feelings them expres-
sions might have excited at the time, they were well
nigh forgotten, when the subject was revived yes-
terday at the meeting of the corporation by a warm
discussion on the following resolution, introduced by
Town Conciliar Delany, viz.:
That we have read, with kelirgs of horror and indiges-
tion, the nassealy sad daagieroes luggage used toward her
Most Orations May the Queen, hy Mr. C Arks Germ
Duffy, at • public sseetiag held in this soy, en ther 2nd inst. ;
and we, se the Ireely chosen mpreeestatives of the eitsras of
Dublin, deem it our duty to declare that those threats are
not only disgraceful to Me party who at ered them, but •
foul sad attetias calumny on the psopls of Deland, who,
although ea many OCCIAIO6II disaporoviag of the acts of the
111•11t,111MIltall baud the Queen goslings of outtakes
loyalty and sofrettiossts attachment.
Several numbers questiosed the propriety of intro-
ducing the 'titbit:et in that body, as the language
objected to could not compromise the loyalty of the
corporation or: of the citizens at large, and various
amendments to that effect were proposed, but were
not received by the Lord Mayor, who said he was
resolved that the sense of the corporation should be
taken on the original motion. Some of the members
then withdrew in a body, as the resolution was ulti.
namely declared to be carried unanimously in a house
consisting of only eighteen members; the words
"sorrow and regret" being substituted for " horror
and indignation, "discreditable" for " disgraceful,"
and the words °foul and atrocious" being omitted
alte.rether.
The Cork Examiner has the following :—" A pugi-
listic encounter took place on the evening of Friday
between Mr. A. Werth', solicitor, and Mr. James
Comerford, in the ball of the Club-room, Killarney.
A hostile message was the result, but the preparations
were not fully carried out, owing to the active exer-
tions of a police constable, who arrested Mr. Comerford.
