ABERDEENSHIRE.

The nomination and election for the county of Aber-
deen took place at Aberdeen yesterday, when Admiral
Gordon, the old Member, was returned without oppo-
sition.

IRELAND.
CORK (CI r 3C).
This contest has terminated in the defeat of the Der-
byites by a very decisive majority, and in the gain of
one Member to the Opposition ranks. The polling
commenced at eight o'clock yesterday morning, and
from that hour up to the close electors continued to flock
to the booths. Crowds of women and boys, headed by
a band of music, paraded the city, bearing aloft huge
branches of trees, green banners, and placards, on which
were inscribed, in large capital letters, " Civil and reli-
gious liberty," " The outrages and sacrileges of
Stockport." " Protection for our nuns," and cheer-
ing enthusiastically for the popular candidates. Con-
siderable excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood
of the booths, and several persons have been severely
injured. The windows of Colonel Chatterton's com-
mittee-rooms in George-street have also been completely
shattered, and it was seriously feared that a riot would
take place before the close of the proceedings. For the
preservation of peace, however, several troops of soldiers,
cavalry and infantry, and police were drawn up in the
vicinity of the polling place. Some of the cavalry (7th
Dragoon Guards), who were continually moving through
tie city, had their swords drawn, others had their car.
bines unslung, and everything betrayed a readiness on
their part to act at a moment's warning.

LIMERICK, MONDAY FIGHT.—The occurrences of
this day will never be forgotten. Anything to equal
the awful results are not upon record, and, as time
presses, I will merely mention that the 3d Dragoons and
Infantry were pelted with stones, and severely injured by
the female portion of the mob, which amounted to at
least 20,000 persons, favourable to the Roman Catholic
candidates, Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Potter. ' Five of
the Dragoons were unhorsed, and two officers wounded
