IRELAND.

MR. SHARMAN CRAWFORD.—This gentleman has just
sent forth his fifth fulminatory epistle. On the present
occasion, in addressing Mr. O'Connell, he has borrowed for
the text of the politico-personal homily the following pas-
sage in the Liberator's last letter addressed to the people of
Ireland :—" One word more, and I conclude. lam again
(observed Mr. O'Connell) the object—the chosen ohject---
of variegated and petulent calumny, from what ought to be
an unexpected quarter. Shall I condescend to reply
Yes, I will in one, and only in one, sentence—My ife is
nay eply." There is nothing new nor deserving of notice
in letter the fifth, except perhaps that its tone and the
terms employed in it appear to indicate an accession of
bile, and that the writer waxes in wrath as he puffingly
proceeds on his course.
POLITICAL UNION.—The usual weekly meeting of the
Trades' Political Union took place on Tuesday night, when
the following resolution was adopted :—" That we most
earnestly call on our Liberal fellow-citizens, and our Libe-
ral l'ellow•countrymen in general, to come forward with
their contributions towards the fund now in progress of col•.
lection, for the defence of our representatives, Daniel
O'Connell and Robert Hutton, ,sqrs., and for the protec-
tion of our rights and liberties against the attack threatened
by a base, foul, and corrupt faction.l . _ _

VIGNoLEs THE STIPENDIARY.—The faction in Carlow
have been trying .to intimidate Lord Mulgrave and the
Government, connected with the case of the notorious
Vignoles, of whom we long warned the government in vain,
for our efforts were neutralized by contemporary protection
to the functionary. We were aware of the doings that
were going on among them, and that they had addressed
some silly rhodomoatode to his Excellency not calling for
reply. They then called a meeting, the requisition allud-
ink only to Mr. Gleeson, and not naming Mr. Vignola.
But the real object to bolster up Vignoles having appeared,
two magistrates, Messrs. Houghton and Moore, protested
against the surreptitious introduction of his name as not
cognizant by the requisition.---7Alot.
The resolutions adopted at the Carlow Court-house on
the 14th inst. by some of the Magistrates, is a stock sub-
ject for the Orange journals. The Mail apparently will
never be tired of enlarging upon them. Column after co-
lumn is daily filled with the " discussion." On Wednes-
day last " fttrther and other important documents con-
nected with the ease" were given to the public by our con-
temporary. These " important documents" are two musty
memorials made by some of the Carlow Magistracy more
than a month ago, and which we believe have been pub-
lished in every newspaper which thought them worth pub-
lishing. _ _ .

0,1 Monday last a public dinner was given at Ennis-
corthy to the Members for the county of Wexford.
THE NATIONAL ANNUITY.—ACtive arrangements arc
now in progress for causing the collection for the National
Fund to be effected in November next by all the rural
parishes in which it was judiciously postponed until after
harvest.

In a Newspaper, published in 1771, is found the
following curious article, which is affirmed to be literally
true :—" Mr. Charles Forbes, Churchwarden of Siddiug-
ton, to Joseph Cooke, debtor—To making. the Command-
ments, altering the B.dief, and making a new Lord's Prayer,
11. Is."

The poll for a Church-rate for the parish of Ash•
,on-under-Lyne closed on Saturday last, when the numbers

were
• - 'For the rate
For the adjournment 2,029

Majority against the rate

Ponta-Mousson, in the Vosges, and th environs,
was visited on the evening of the lath instant by a violent
storm, accompanied with rain, in the course of which a
whirlwind, which took a direction from south-east to north-
east, nnreufed several houses, blew down stacks of cbim-
e
nies, uprooted enormous trees, and even lifted a number of
persons from the ground, carrying them to a distanc of
several yards. No lives were lost,
