IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AuG. 13.
The anniversary of the Relief of Derry was cele-
brated yesterday with all the customary rejoicings
and religious services. During the night a number
of the " prentice boys" got possession of Walker's
pillar, on the summit of which they displayed the
city flag early in the morning. The Union Jack
and the banner of the Hon. the Irish Society were
unfurled upon the bastions. Flags also waved from
the Cathedral tower and the Corporation Hall.
The Cathedral bell ushered in the anniversary with
lively peals, and continued ringing with short in -
tervals during the day. The old guns vs ere brought
into requisition on newly mounted carriages, and
several rounds were fired in honour of the day. The
walls were thronged by citizens and country people
of every denomination, the Roman Catholics min-
gling with good humour in the crowd who cele-
brated the triumph of William 111. and constitu-
tional freedom over James 11. and arbitrary power.
The Tuscarora has been ordered out of Kings-
town harbour, and she was expected to steam ofi
last night. The captain and officers leave with
much regret, as there was a pleasant exchange of
civilities between them and their numerous visitors
from Kingstown and Dublin. It ie said that 30 of
the crew left while the vessel was in the harbour,
but their places were easily supplied by others who
were induced to enter the service of the Union.
A letter from Mr. W. H. Gregory, M.P., rela-
tive to the Galway subsidy, appears in a Galway
paper, in which he states that he had received a
communication from a member of Parliament who
had a conversation with Lord Palmerston, say-
ing

I"I spoke to Lord Palmerston, and have no doubt that all
I is right, and that the whole matter will very shortly be
finally and satisfactorily arranged."
It is ascertained that Hayes, the murderer, has
been for some days wandering over the Kilcommon
mountains. The police are upon his track, but they
are always a day late. He is accompanied by a
young man who never leaves him, helping him over
the fences and the rocks, and keeping watch and
ward while he sleeps. He is readily sheltered by
the peasantry, who do not hesitate to say to the
police, " It would be a great pity the poor fellow
was taken, for he behaved as a great soldier and a
true friend to the persecuted tenantry of Ireland."
On Thursday night Sub Inspector Mullarkey, with
40 men, searched every house upon 11 townlands.
They fully expect to be able to capture the fugitive
before many days elapse.
On Sunday an English soldier, named Higgins, of
the 4th Hussars, en route to the Currragh,
shot
himself in Carlow. He was well conducted and a
favourite with his comrades. Hehad been singing
with some of them at a public-house. They inter-
rupted him with laughter. He said be would shoot
himself. Believing that he was joking, they
laughed the more, He left soon after, and re.
turned to the house in which he was billeted, when
he took a gun and shot himself through the mouth.
Death was instantaneous.
