THE POLITICAL A LPIIA BET.—Under this title
an amusing series of caricatures, in one small duodecimo, has
just been published by Maclean, in which O'Connell is hit off
with nearly as much spirit as 11. B. shows in his unrivalled
political sketches.

•
On Thursday night last Mr. Ward, waggon-master,
of Salisbury, left that town as usual, to proceed with it towards
London, and has not since been heard of.

Accounts from Weimar say that there is a great
deal of sickness in that town ; not only does nervous fever
prevail, but the small-pox has broken out. The house of
Goethe is now occupied by Dr. S. Vogel and his wife, who
being ill of the natural small-pox, the ptTlice has caused a board
to be affixed to it, stating that it infected with the small-pox,
as is usual in such cases.-,—Gcrman Paper,

IRELAND.

DEP,LIN, PER. 4.
LEGAL DECISIONS.—REGISTRY SESSIONS.— An import:mt
:nfigment was pronounced yesterday. It will be recollected
that the Lord Lieutenant's power, under the Act, to adjourn
the Registry Sessions from Kilmainham to Kingstown, Naas,-,
Ballymore Eustace, was denied, and it was hoped tint a de-
cision in the Court of King's Bench would render nugatory
the majority obtained by the Liberals at these latter places.
Mr. Justice Crampton held that the clause under which his
Excellency acted did not limit his power to the first General
Registry Sessions held under the Reform Act. His Lordsihp,
therefore, decided the registries held under such circumstances
were valid for all the purposes of the franchise.
TITHE DECISION.--In the Court of Common Pleas, yester-
lay, an application was made by Mr. Serjeant Green for sub-
stitution of service in a tithe cause. The Court. after having
inquired into the practice of other Courts, and the recent de.
cisions made by the Lord Chancellor, expressing also their
impression of the great discretion given by the statute, and
their opinion that they should best consult the public peace by
so ruling, ordered service of the notice to be good, by posting
some on the doors of the church, chapel, post-office, police-
barrack, or other most public place in the neighbourhood. A
writ of assistance was also granted, lest military or police aid
should be necessary.
Lord Plunket, on the contrary, decided that service on the
houses of defendants was necessary.
APPOINTMENTS.—The law appointments are at length com-
pleted. This day the patent, countersigned by the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, appointing Mr. O'Logh-
len Master of the Rolls, was received at the Castle, as well as
the oflicail letters appointing Mr. Richards fourth Baron of
the Exchequer; Mr. Woulfe, Attorney- General, and Mr.
Maziere Brady, Solicitor-General. All those functionaries
are to take the necessary oaths to-morrow. The new Master
is to take his seat in the Rolls on Saturday.
THE CARLOW CALUMNY.—This, we trust, will be the last
time that we shall have occasion to advert to the flagitious
speech falsely ascribed to Mr. O'Connell. The reporter of
the Morning Register distinctly denies the truth of a report of
a speech alleged to have been delivered at Carlow, calling
upon the people to be prepared for the shedding of blood.
Mr. Clayton Browne, we apprehend, is now bound to retract
the adscription, and to confess that he was in error.
Mn. S. CRAWFORD.—A meeting of the electors of Dundalk
was to take place yesterday, at which, it was believed, that an
endeavour would be made to remove the misunderstanding
that exists, or did exist, between the honourable and right-
principled Member for Dundalk and his constituency.
GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—The meeting on Thursday pos-
sessed no particular feature of interest, neither was the at.
tendance numerous.

SIMULTANEOUS MEETINGS. The meetings which Mr.
O'Connell suggested should be held, were general throughout
the country on Sunday. The object proposed, it will be re-
collected, is to petition for Municipal Reform, and the extinc-
tion of Tithes.
BOROUGH OF CARLOW.—We have authority to state that Mr.
George Latouche will offer himself as a candidate for this
borough, in opposition to Mr. F. Bruen, on the next vacancy.
It is reported that Colonel Bruen, despairing of the county,
will take his`brother's place in the contest for the borough,
but Mr. Latouche will oppose the one as well as the other ;
and, we have no doubt, with triumphant success.. Mr. La-
touche would be an excellent representative.—Freeman.
We feel much pleasure in being enabled to announce to our
readers, that Thomas Bunbury, Esq., of Moyle, has come
forward, at the solicitation of the gentry of the County Car-
low, as a candidate for the representation of that county, va-
cant by the lamented death of the late Member, Mr. Kava-
nagh. Mr. Bunbury is a gentleman of independent fortune,
and one of the best of landlords.—Kilkenny Moderator.
PROTEST AND DECLARATION.—TO the names already pub-
lished we may now add those of the Earl of Belfast, the
Member for Antrim, and of J. Grattan, M.P. for Wicklow.
This gives a total of 59. The Dublin Evening Post says that
" Mr. Ralph Howard, for reasons best known to himself, de-
clined signing—a circumstance, of which, we imagine, he will
be reminded at the next General Election. There are Forty-
three Peers, signatures to the Protest and Declaration, two of
whom alone, in point of property, are worth all the Orange
Peers present at the Round-Room."
LIMERICK LIBERAL CLUB.—EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH OF
T. STEELE, ESQ.—The Club met on Tuesday last to discuss
the subject of Vote by Ballot, and to take into consideration
the correspondence which has lately been brought forward be-
tween Mr. O'Connell and Mr. O'Brien, the Member for the
County. The Evening Packet publishes the report of a speech
ascribed to Mr. Stele, of a most extraordinary description.
The gist of this gentleman's reported speech is to assert that Mr.
O'Connell desires to dictate to the electors whom they shall re-
ject and whom they shall choose as their representative in
Parliament !

Mr. Steele, in his tirade, is reported to have said—what he
will no doubt be glad of an opportunity to deny, by impugning
the Accuracy of the Packet, from whose version of the harangue
we copy the following passage:-111r. Steele is made to say—
" You are now about to be stripped of all your boasted privi-
leges, and to be Subdued and trampled under foot by that base
and unprincipled swiadler and hireling, O'Connell.—( Hear.)
Yes—you are about to be ground down, as your wheat is
ground in a mill, by this tyrant-dictator, and to be debased and
oppressed, vilified, and scandalized by this descendant of a
Darrynane smuggler. For a long time we praised his acts,
because we thought they were directed for our good—we
lauded his name, because we thought it was associated with
liberty and universal equality for all mankind—we dubbed him
a demi-god, because we believed him more than angel in ac-
tion,. and something less than a deity in form ; but merciful
heavens ! what a dethronement is here !—(Continued cheer-
ing.) I believed him—you believed him—to be all I have
now said; and, if two years ago, and while we retained such
a creed, we were informed he would prove the scoundrel he
has since turned out, would we have believed such informa-
tion ?—(No.) Would we have believed that he not only would
lend his aid to prevent the poor of Ireland from getting sea-
sonable relief; but also, that he would interlard his speeches
and letters with dictatorial rules and despotic commands ? I
tell you that we would not. But above and before all, would
we have believed that he would in this month of January, 1837,
call—for it is a call—upon the intelligent constituency of the
county of Limerick, to oust such a man as Mr. O'Brien from
its representation 7"
