IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 11.
Yesterday morning the Marcia's of Thoraosid.
Lord Clifton. General Mahon, M.P. &c. *ailed
from Sir John Rogerson's quay, by the Talbot
steam packet, for Holyhead.
It is understood that Doctor Elringtoo will posi-
tively be the new Bishop. Dr. Miller is mentioned
as likely to succeed to the Provostehip ref T • • y
College, but we know not what degree of credit is to
be attached to the latter report.
FORMIDABLE GANG OF ROBBERS.
The roads leading to the Couutses of Kildare
and Meath have within these few weeks past been
the scene of various depredations, some of which
we have laid before our readers. The gang con-
sisting of fourteen men, well armed, and their mode
of operations are quite methodical. They have •
*Ming car, on which six of the milieus sit, while
the other tight walk in groups. The principal ob-
jects of attack are carrier's drays, which, when they
come up to. they itistaptly begin to plunder, and
if they encounter the smallest resistance, they sia•
sagely ill-treat. and almost murder the carmen.
Besides the outrages which we detailed in our
paper of Tuesday, an account of another has just
reached us. At our o'clock yesterday morning
a carrier of the name of James M'Elroy, from
Clone., was proceeding from Dublin with his dray,
loaded with goods for the country; he was stopped
by this gang of fourteen rubbers, armed and sp.
pointed as we have above inensiourd. betweeu the
Black Bull Gild a piece called Ten-Mile-Bush;
he made some resistance, and was dreadfully abused
and beaten; his nose was fractured with the butt end
of e pistol; the gang commenced their work of
plunder by unloadisig the dray, potting the goods
on their own car; the principal part of the goods
consisted of a chest of tea, a crate of china, two jars
of snuff, some bales of flannel and cotton, with
spun cotton yarn. a quantity of reaping hooks, and
the carman's friar great coat, &c. There was •
female passenger on the car. whom they robbed of
all the little money she had about her (six or seven
with all of which they drove off, as if to
Dublin. Front souse information, however, it is
suspected, their haunts and receptacle for their
plunder, is about Talhight-Hill, a very wild part
of the county Wicklow, and it is also judged that
they have friends WI the roads who give them the
44 alarm," as the Police have not as yet been able
to come up to them. The circumstance of the
jaunting car would assist in leading to their de-
tection.

The pilchard seuns iu Mount's Bay have been in
readiness for the last fortnight, but hitherto nu
pilchards have been taken, except by driving boats.
The late gales loose been very unfavourable fur the
fishery.
