DUBLIN, MARCH 15.
(FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
" Coming events cast their shadows before."

This day an election took place for an Alderman to supply
the place of the late Sir Abraham Bradley King. Four names
were sent down to the Common Councilmen for their selection,
those of Messrs. Bunn, Hyndman, Halluhan, and Maunders.
Before the election commenced the usual questions were put
to the candidates, touching their loyalty, their willingness to
entertain the Corporation, and their readiness to pay the ne-
cessary fees, including 1001. to the Blue Coat Hospital. Not
one of the candidates would consent to pay the fees, and three
of them refused to entertain the Corporation. This is the
more remarkable, when it is recollected that the canvassing
for votes previous to one of these elections used to be as
zealously carried on, as for a Member for the City. The
outraged Common Councilmen sent back the names of the
inhospitable candidates to the board of Aldermen, calling
upon them to amend their return. This, however, they found
they could not legally do, and the chopfallen gourmands were
obliged to elect one of the candidates who had positively de-
clined to act, but who had not protested against the ancient
and loyal usage of feeding the Corporation. The person
chosen is Mr. Maunders, a wealthy baker.
STATE OF TIIE COUNTRY.—At the Tipperary Assizes,
which have just commenced, Judge Moore, in addressing the
Jury, referred to the calumnies which it is customary to
write about the state of this country in the English Papers,
and instanced that County, of which he had seen it stated in a
respectable English Journal that there were 76 cases for mur-
der to be tried at the present Assizes. Since ke had got the
calendar, he found the number of parsons in it charged
with murder, and with abetting murder, did amount to that
number. Now, how was this ? Simply because not one case
had been set down as manslaughter or justifiable homicide,
which he had no doubt many of them would be found to be.
To such an extent did this system of misrepresentation prevail,
that he bad known English ladies to refuse to let their sons
come amongst us in the army. In many instances, where the
Coroner's Jury had returned a verdict of homicide, " murder"
was set down in the calendar as the crime of the prisoner. Be-
sides, be found many of the crimes had been committed at a
remote period—some in 1832, and yet they were all charged
upon the present year. Ile could not too strongly reprobate
such a system of mischievous misrepresentation and untruth."
These, be it remembered, are the sentiments of a moderate
Tory.
KILKENNY.—CoIoneI THOMPSON—The citizens of Kilkenny,
hive held a meeting to repudiate the charge contained in Co-
lonel Thompson's letter to the electors of Marylebone, charg-
ing corruption against the former. After denying the charge
i the most positive terms, they stated in their resolutions
that the nomination of Mr. Ewart arose solely from their es-
teem for his public character, and was neither suggested by
Mr. O'Connell nor any other person unconnected with the
Borough—so that they would have returned him, only the
stronger claims of Mr. Hume induced them to think that they
would be better serving the public cause, by sending him to
Parliament, from a scat in which a faction had zealously en-
deavoured to exclude him. They further added, that the
" Irish military chest," and the " Treaty of Kilkenny," had
no origin but in the imagination of Colonel Thompson, or
some mischievious person who choose to deceive him. They
concluded with a vote of thanks to Mr. Ewart, for thernenner
in which he had replied to Colonel Thompson, and for the
kind and flattering manner in which he expressed himself as
regards the electors of that city. The meeting was numerous,
including nearly all the electors of Kilkenny.
Mr. Hume's letter to his constituents, explanatory of his
vote in support of Ministers upon the late division, and de•
claratory of his views of the present state of political affairs,
has given the greatest satisfaction. lie declares his strong
disapproval of the policy adopted towards Canada, but differ-
ing totally from the views of those who proposed the censure,
he could not vote for Lord Sandon's amendment.
" Mr. flume says—" I must candidly admit that I no longer
feel the anxiety I have formerly manifested to keep them in
office, Still, I was glad the division took such a turn as ad-
mitted of my voting with them." And in another place the
Hon. Member for Kilkenny says—" The past conduct of the
Melbourne Cabinet leaves but little hope of a better policy for
the future ;" adding, " I am convinced that no power can long
sustain the Whigs without the Ballot. Another election will
inevitably give the Tories a majority ; for if the people are to

SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Thursday an adjourned
meeting of the proprietors of South Sea Stock was held at
their house in Threadneedle-street, for the purpose of memo-
rializing the Lords of the Treasury for the completion of the
guarantee fund ; J. Franks, Esq., in the chair. The Secre-
tary read a memorial to the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury,
which had been drawn up by the Court of Directors. It de-
tailed, at great length, the effect of various statutes passed
for repealing the South Sea duties, and regulating the affairs
of the Company, and concluded by praying that their Lord-
ships would be pleased to take such steps as they might deem
necessary for the completion and transfer to the memorialists
of the amount of the guarantee fund. The memorial having
then been submitted to the proprietors for their approbation, it
was unanimously resolved that the same should be presented
forthwith to the Lords of the Treasury; and that as soon as
the Directors received any communication from their Lord-
ships, a Court of Proprietors should be immediately convened,
in order that the same might be laid before them. Thanks
were then voted to the Chairman and Directors, after which
morning a number of surveyors,
