IRELAND.

DUBLIN, APRIL 12.
THE WEATHER.—WhiIe we write, the whole country has
the appearance of December—the air piercinfr; the wind fierce
and nipping, and the ground covered to some depth with snow.
Since Monday evening—during part of yesterday, and the en-
tire of last night and the forenoon of to-day, we have had fre-
quent and heavy showers of sleet and snow ; and down to the
present moment there is nothing in the atmosphere indicative
of a favourable change. There was a gale from the south-east
last night, which, we fear, will prove destructive to vessels en-
gaged with the Irish coast, and the more likely from the se-
vere showers of snow by which it was accompanied. —Mail.
AssomyrroN.—The usual 'weekly meeting of our General
Association took place on Tuesday. The attendance was not
numerous, and the proceedings chiefly consisted in reading
communications from various pacificators and collectors of the
justice rent.

CoNsYntcv.—The Pilot, appealing to various documen-
tary evidence published, asks. if " there be not manifest indi-
cations, that the faction, in e•espair of recovering ascendancy
by constitutional or peaceful. means, meditate attempting to do
so by provoking a convulsion ?
STATE OF CAVAN.—Tice Mail has for some days been
maligning and misrepresenting the county of Cavan. Mr.
Murphy's charge to the Grand Jury at the Cavan Sessions,
held there on the ith, is the least equivocal refutation of the
Mall's Malignant mis-statements.
LOUD WESTMEATII—JIM Caow.-We do assure our Noble
Friend, " if he will permit -us to call him so," that we do not
put his name in apposition with the celebrated individual above
named with any view of hurling his feelings, but merely fe.r
the purpose of calling public attention to the comical gr.:to:ions
which his Lordship has made ain his politics. We ctiz.i2 only, at
present, with a view of she wing the dexterity of the Noble
Lord in the science of Ji)iti Grocery, insert, letter of thiti,
Lordship's to Sir Richard Sagle, dated thv 'oBth of October,
1828. The letter was ad•i.h e.ssed to Sir ri,ichard Nagle, one
of the present licprescntaeives of the 'county. of Westmeath,
and at this time Chairman of the
'Westmeath Independent
Club. The letter is in the words fo'
