IRELAND.

COUNTY DUBLIN.—Lord Brabazon is to supply the
place of Mr. Fitzsimon, who accepts the office of Clerk of
the Hanaper. The Tories talk of Mr. Wood, whose riches
are much greater than his reputation for political know-
ledge. The county may be considered safe, without strik-
ing a blow.
COUNTY OF WICKLOW.—The Orangemen are putting
up a Beresford here against Grattan. It is rumoured that
Lord Wicklow will give his support to Major Beresford. A
Beresford !—a name justly and universally, throughout Ire-
land, odious.
COUNTY KILDARE is safe. The electors Lave deter-
mined to put Mr. Archbold in nomination, together with
the present representative, the Right lion. Richard More
0' Ferran.

CouNTY or CARLOW.—It is said by his friends that
Colonel Bruen is about to throw up the county -in disgust
—that. Colonel Rechford has declined the invitation to peril
his purse, and that none of Mr. Brown, of the Hill's
family, can be brought to the scratch. The Burtons arc
sulky, and Mr. Buubury is heart-sick from his recent de-
feat. The truth is, that this county is secure to Mr. Vi-
gors and Mr. Yates ; so secure, that even the show of
contest is not apprehended.
BOROUGH OF CARLOW.—Mr. Frank Bruen must march
out of this borough, and Mr. Manic will take his place.
The borough is ours.
KING'S COUNTY.—The present Representatives will be
returned again.
BOROUGH OF PORTARLINGTON.—Mr. Fanm❑ will con-
test this borough with Mr. Dawson Darner.
BottouGn OF ATHLONE.—A son of Mr. Barton, of
Kildare, it is said, will try his hand for this borough against
Mr. John O'Connell.
COUNTY GA LWAY.—Therc is no doubt at all of the re-
election of the present Metnbcrs, Messrs. Martin and Bod-
kin. Bat still the Dalys and the St. Georges are mutter-
ing an opposition.
COUNTY WEXFORD.—Mr. Meagher and Mr. Power
will be returned again no doubt. The Courtowns intend
contesting the county.
BOROUGH or Ross.—Mr. Talbot will be returned for
the Borough of Ross, without a struggle.
'TOWN OF WE XFORD.—Charks Walker walks over the
course in the Town of Wexford.
COUNTY OF 'TIPPERARY.—Mr. Shell and Mr. Otway
Cave trill be re-elected.
CITY OF ARNIAGII.—Mr. Curry has addressed the elec-
tors of Armagh. This city is secure.
BoaouG it ON DUNGAN NON•--JOllll James Knox—one
of the Dilly—it appears, will retire from the representation
of Dungannon, and Mr. Thomas Knox has been called
upon by the electors of all denominatiohs, as the Orange
prints have it, to stand.

THE CROPS.

The ({feet produced by the late rains is truly astonishing,

Two extensive agriculturists informed us, that they never
had such a prospect of a good harvest as they enjoy at pre-
sent. The barley, in general, looks most luxuriant ; oats
area promising crop ; the rye alone appears indifferent.
Hay-cutting has commenced in Sutherland, but considered
by many too early, as the hay has not yet arrived at full
maturity. We have not beard of a single failure in the
potato crop, which the practical farmers attribute to the
attention paid this year to the selection and sowing of the
seed, and also to their being planted shortly after they were
cut...-111VerlICSS COUriCi%

Nothing can exceed the improvement which has taken
place in all the crops within the last fortnight, rendering the
promise of abundance in all respects most gratifying. Mow-
ing has commenced under the most auspicious circumstances
in the immediate vicinity of Swansea, and, before the week
has expired, will be very general throughout the neighbour-
hood, should the weather continue tine--Thc Cambrian.
The hay crops are in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield
very abundant, and some fields are already cut ; in a few
days mowing will have very generally commenced, and
from the extremely favourable state of the weather, it is
confidently anticipated that the crops will be well got in.—
Dct by:Lire Courier.
Hay-cutting has commenced very generally around Ken-
dal and in the neighbouring districts ; the crop seems, with
but few exceptions, rather thin.—Wcantoreland Gazette.
The price of all sorts of grain at Carlisle is declining ra-
pidly in consequence of the prospect of an abundant harvest.

In allusion to the hour at which his late Majesty
expired, the Dumfries Courier remarks that "it is a curious
fact which medical science has hitherto left unexplained, that
the closing scene, when the mortal ceases and the immortal
begins, should occur so very often after the waning night has
ushered in the dawn of another day. To us there is some-
thing not only striking, but mysteriously sublime, in the coin.
cidence named ; and were not the decrees of Providence
impervious to the finite faculties of man, it would be pleasing
to trace unity between the great fiat exercised at the creation,
and the spirit winging its heavenward flight."
CHURCH-RATES.--A parish meeting was held
last Friday at Merthyr, when the attempt to make a Church-
rate was negatived by a large majority.—The Silurian.
On Thursday last a fellow named Jones was tried
with a companion at the Quarter Sessions for housebreaking
at Waltham, and acquitted. He was liberated, but in the
course of a very few hours was taken back to his old quarters
at the gaol, having stolen ,1/4a suit of child's clothes from M.
-Myers, of this town. The clothes were hung at the door for
sale, and Mr. Wiffen, the constab!e, saw the prisoner pass
down a yard close to the shop, with them upon his arm ; im-
mediately after the prisoner was taken, arid the clothes were
found concealed near a water butt. On Friday he was finally
examined, when he said he might have committed the rob-
bery, but he knew nothing of it,- at ho was intoxicated. He
was committed for trial.—Essex Herald.
