DUBLIN.-(SATURDAY.)

Ireland will do its duty. I informed you some weeks ago
that the cause of the Queen and good Government would be
supported with spirit in this country, and that we might reckon
upon eighty Reformers, or thereabouts, in the new Parliament.
The progress of events confirms that statement, as far as it is
yet capable of confirmation, notwithstanding the most elabo-
rate preparations of the Faction. From the best calculation
of the most intelligent men I meet with, it would appear, that
certainly more than two-thirds of the newly-elected Irish
Members will be staunch Reformers. In this calculation is
not included the strength to be acquired by the Liberal party
from the events of the last few days. Lord John Russell's
letter, which has just appeared in the Evening Post, convey-
ing her Majesty's most gracious approbation of Earl Mul-
grave's government of Ireland, will produce an electric effect
on the waverers and corruptionists. Many of this class had
already betrayed symptoms of conversion ; and there cannot
be a doubt of the beneficial effect that will be produced amongst
them by the confirmation of his Excellency's policy towards
Ireland.

Messrs. Hutton and O'Connell are up for this city, with
every prospect of success. The constituency is between eight
and nine thousand, the majority of which, according to the
registry reports, are Liberal. If to this be added the freemen
and place-hunters always inclined to follow the wishes of Go-
vernment, we are sure of an overwhelming support. Mr.
Hutton is, perhaps, the most fit man that could possibly be se-
lected at such a juncture as an associate with O'Connell. He
has realized a princely fortune by his trade of coachmaker in
this city, from which he has but recently retired to reside in
the vicinity of London. His knowledge of trade and com-
merce is very extensive, in addition to the advantages of a li-
beral education, and a continually cultivated understanding.
The earnestness and ability with which he promoted the ob-
jects of the British Association in Dublin a few years ag,d'are
remembered by the lovers of science, and the more intelligent
aid respectable portion of his fellow-citizens. Nothing con-
tributed more in modern times, considering the short period of
its existence and influence here, than that institution and its
meeting in Dublin, to allay the bigotry and prejudices of the
more wealthy classes of society in this country. Men of
every party there met, and forgot their political dissension in
their desire to promote that which is beneficial to all. We
were struck with the love of country and love of science which
distinguished Mr. Hutton on that occasion. In the canvass
that has been going forward for some days past on his behalf,
individuals, who voted for West and *Hamilton at the last
election, have expressed their conviction of the alteration of
the times, and the necessity of yielding to the "spirit of the
age." This looks well for Reform ; and notwithstanding the
great efforts of the Conservative candidates and their party,
some of their best friends are likely to desert them.
Nor is their condition much better in other parts of the
country. Bandon, the hot-bed of Orangeisin and anti-
Popery hitherto, will be ex necessitate abandoned in future by
its fanatical and partizan representatives. The Hon. Mr. Ca-
vendish is sure to supersede Sergeant Jackson in that strong-
hold of bigotry.
There will be two Liberals returned for the Queen's county,
and probably as many for Sligo county. And almost the en-
tire of the south of Ireland will be represented by its own,
that is, Reform Members in the next Parliament. It is but
right, however, to state that here, as well as in England, the
greatest efforts are being made by the Tories, in every place
where there is even a remote chance of success. They stop
at nothing to promote their ends. They threaten the trades-
men and dealers of every description, that they will withdraw
from them their custom, and cease to employ them. Sub-
scriptions are sot on foot, it is said, in Dublin, by the Tory
party, to defray the expenses about to be incurred by Hamil-
ton and West. The ladies are canvassed in several shops of
public resort to contribute to the Conservative funds. A large
card is handed them, with a request that they will write
thereon their names, and the donation which they are willing
to give. One is surprised at hearing that the rich and Aris-
tocratic party, whose stock purse was said many months ago
to amount to one million, are obliged to have recourse to such
measures. If money fail them, opes irritanienta ntalorum, all
is lost, and they must surrender at discretion. On the other
hand, the alacrity with which the Liberals are exerting them-
' selves in every parish, and the promptitude with which the
I poor householders pay their taxes in order to be ready, is de-
Tbe history of the civilized world does not afford

an instance of such a revolution, as, we trust, will be in a
short time effected in Ireland, without injury or bloodshed,
and without the positive loss of property or privilege to any
individual at present legally or constitutionally entitled to either.
I don't think the result of any Irish election can be known
before the Ist of next month. The first issue of writs is by
this night's mail; and, except in Dublin city, no nomination
can take place much sooner than Monday week.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERD4 r.

So many were absent at elections and the attention of those
present was so :repeatedly interrupted by reports from the
City that very little business was transacted. It will be seen,
however, that Ilornsea and Carpenter have gained ground
since our last, and that Jack-in-the-Green is a shade better.
For the Cup Caravan and Cdrew arc so close together that
it is impossible to say which has the call. Ofi'e.rs were made
to take 3 to 1 about each or either, no one bidding more than
5 to 2, and even these odds could not have been obtained in
many quarters ; The Unknown daily acquires fresh supporters.
Strange as it may seem, the St. Leger odds are scarcely at.
fected by the Liverpool running ; we must infer, therefore,
that Scott " drew it uncommon fine," and that he coujd have
won easier. Closing odds :
