IRELAND.
buntta, now. 19.
Mr. Carry will be returned for the ccuny of Mo-
naghan, on Wednesday met, without opposition,
Mr. Westerira having declined. The streng•h of
either Candidate was pretty nearly equal, when Col.
Anketil, who has the disposal of Lord Cremnrne's
interest, threw it into Mr. Corrv's scale, and so res.
tiered a contest, on the part of Mr. Westerns, coote
pleely desperate.
On Monday last, es sonic of those unfeeling
wretches, who are employed for the purpose, were
driving a bullock to a slaughter-house, they vaded
the poor animal to such a degree as to render his
fury ungovernable. Escaping from them, he ran
down Arran-quay to the tenor and imminent dan-
ger of all who met him. A man, who was passim
over the Old Bridge, endeavoured in vain to avoid
him ; he caught him on his horns, and flung nine
clean over the wall into the Liffey, where he was
rescued from drowning by s boatmen who hap-
pened fortunately to be near where he fell. fhe
infuriated animal now scoured Bridge-street, Upper
Bridge-street, Corn-market, High-street, Skinner-
row, Castle-street, and entered the Castle-yard,
where the carter of his Grace the Duke o' Rich-
mond had just arrived from the Lodge in the Park,
The man attempted to repel him by a stroke of his
whip, but the bullock rushed on him, and before
any one could interpose, ic sed him three times, to
the height, it is imagined. of fifteen feet. Happi'3,
the horns of the animal, plunging in the giouno,
proveweed his goring the miseratle sufferer ; hat
such has been the effect of his successive falls, that 11
the surgeons who ;lad been immediately summoned
by his Grace, have not as yet pronounced any opi-
nion as to the probable result. Resistance was new
deemed impossible, and the furious animal having
regained the streets, pursued his way through
Little Ship. street, and turned down Bride-street,
where he killed a child on the spot. Pan ick%-close
terminated his destructive career, as he was shot
dead there by a person who chanced to have a load-
ed gun in his possession. Such have been thdlae
mentable consequences of the wanton cruelty of
those miscleants, who amuse themselves by i Aiding
the most unnecessary torture on the animals com-
mitted to their care. From the laudable mad ha.
mane aaivity of oar chief muniaii al Megfearoae,
we trust that the original offender may be brought
to such punishment as the law appoints for his
offence.

THE CLERGY.

The following is thu substance of a Circular Lit-
ter, sent to all the Bishops, by seder of the Lords
of His Majesty's Privy Council, dated 6th of Geo.

desires the said hish ips to acquaint the Privy Coun-
cil, whether or not monitions have been issuod by
them to such dzfaulten, according to the direaions
of reStion 34. of the said AS." 11
In consequence cf Mr. Whitbread's presuming.
in the preamble of his bill, for the better manage-
ment of the poor, on a general neglect of their
education in linglancl, the Archbishop of Cath
terhury has, through the m-ilium of the Clergy,
taken the means necessary for obtaining information
on that subject. The Rev. Gentlemen are request-
ed, to transmit, as correlly as way...hie, to tie Bi-
shop of the Diocese is which they respeetively re-
