IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUG. 25.
The Lord Lieutenant's progress through the North is
distinguished by addresses, breathing the fullness of confi-
dence. His reception is most cordial and enthusiastic.
EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON AT KINGSTOWN.—We are
authorised to state, that our fellow-citizens may expect,
about the 10th of next month, one of the most magni-
ficent sights—indeed, the most magnificent nautical dispay
ever witnessed in the Bay of Dublin. The entire of the
experimental squadron, now at Portsmouth, consisting of
seven sail of the line and a large number of frigates, accom-
panied by brigs, sloops, cutters, and other vessels of all
kinds, will, if no accident or incident shall occur to retard
them, be seen riding at anchor in our Bay. Lord Minto
and the Lords of the Admiralty will be on board the squa-
dron. The flag-ship, the Vanguard, Captain Bouverie, is
one of the most beautiful specimens of naval architecture
that ever floated on the bosom of the waters.
It is only fair to the Admiralty, and, indeed, to the Go-
vernment, to state, that when the representation was made
to them of the wishes of the citizens of Dublin, for wit-
nessing such a glorious display, they evinced not only great
kindness, but promptitude in acceding to the request. At
present, we believe, stations are laying out for mooring the
men-of-war at the pier at Kingstown.
The squadron proceeds in the first instance from Ports-
mouth to Cork, and thence through the Channel to Dub-
lin. It will be a glorious sight to see them entering our
harbour ; and there will certainly be an immense influx of
strangers from all parts of Ireland, as well as from the
North of England, into our city. We shall have all the
yachts and pleasure boats in Ireland in the Bay.—Dublin
Evening Post.
GREAT MEETING AT BORRIS-09KANE.—On Monday,
an immense meeting, most respectably attended, was held
in Borris-o'kane, to aid the General Association in the or-
ganization of the Justice Rent. There could not be less
than twenty thousand persons present, The chair was
taken by Robert Hall, Esq., of Merton-Hall, a Protestant
gentleman. The meeting, at which the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, was addressed by A. French, Secretary of the
General Association (who was received most warmly), E.
Kennedy, of Bantis, Garrett Dillon, David Lynch, jun., D.
M. Egan, O'Brien Dillon, Esqrs., and the Rev. Mr. Ber-
mingham.
ARMAGH MAGISTRATES.—WC have the best authority
for stating that the resignation of Mr. Olpherts was caused
by no want of respect whatever to his Excellency, nor by
the least hostility to his Majesty's present Government.—
Dublin Evening Post.
THE PROFESSOR OF FORGERY.—This little gentleman
has arrived in Dublin—he is gazed on by all in every street
through which he passes as if the magnitude of his forgery
added a giant height to his stature. Though his entire
conduct with regard to the Pope's letter shows him to be
an embodied impudence, we are informed he still has a
sense of his own degradation, and shrinks, in conscious
guilt, from the eyes of all who hate lying, and believe it a
moral crime to " bear false witness against their neigh-
bour."—Freeman.
TITHE CAMPAIGN.—A Cork paper contains the follow-
ing advertisement. The Christian spirit of the Establish-
ment can scarcely be more clearly indicated than by this
bravo-like offer of service. It is clear that the restless
tithe-men are determined not to let a moment slip by with-
out forwarding the cause of the Christian Law Church.
Subpoenas are flying about in all parts of the country, and
the " rebellion-ruffians" are anticipating a busy season.
" TITHES.—The settlement of the Tithe question being
put off for the present, and the clergy being left for the
recovery of their dues to the law as it now stands, a gen-
tleman of experience and firmness will undertake the col-
lection of tithes at 8 per cent. on the amount. The best
references can be given as to character and capability.
Letters addressed (post-paid) for A. 8., at the Office of
the Constitution.—August 18."
ORANGE LOYALTY.—.OII Monday night the Orange-
men of Waterford broke and tarred the sign-board of
Mulgrave-street, which name was given to the street in
compliment to the Lord Lieutenant's visit to that city.
TYRANNY.—A Waterford paper states, that the agent
to an absentee proprietor in that county threatened to
eject the tenantry on the estate, if they dared to go see the
Lord Lieutenant's entree into Waterford ; and that the
same worthy refused to accept the rent from the tenants
should a single note of the National Bank be tendered in
payment. The right to refuse the paper of the Bank no
person will question, but to expel a tenant from house and
home for going to see the Viceroy's entry is going further
than even the English Tories have ever yet dared to push
their tyrannical principles of action.
The provincial prints still continue to bring evidence
that the tithe war is progressing—and in the right way too.
The landlords are likely to be put foremost in the fight.
The Kilkenny Journal states that an order to appoint a
receiver over Major Bryan's property has been obtained,
in consequence of his refusal to pay the demands of par-
sons Sandys and Pearson, men who have no duty at all to
perform in the parish in which the property is situate—
men whose only occupation seems to be the constant pa-
rading of ladies through the streets of Kilkenny. In the
parish of Dunmore, where Parson Pearson resides, there is
not, it appears, a single Protestant, except a few policeman.
Parson Sandys is librarian to the library of St. Cannice,
where he finds occasional employment in sweeping the cob-
webs from books once the property of Catholics. But as
for spiritual duty no one can tell where it lies.
Mr. Feargus O'Connor has addressed a letter to Mr.
O'Connell, calling upon him to specify his complaints
against his political character and conduct.
Mr. Sharman Crawford has addressed his promised let-
ter to the people of Dundalk on the Church question. It
does not put forward anything new on the subject, unless a
quotation from a letter from Mr. O'Connell to himself, in
which the validity of the tithe claim in Ireland appears to
be questioned, from the fact that there exists no statute for
the transference of property in this country. For this dis-
covery it seems that the world was indebted to Mr. Lefroy.
The letter is characterised by much temper. The gist of
Mr. Crawford's argument against the Ministerial measure
seems to be, that if the people obtain the recognition of a
good measure in the appropriation clause, they become
pledged to an evil one in the 54th clause, which deliberately
admits the right of the clergy to infringe upon the con-
sciences of the Catholics and Nonconformists.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT. —As a poor woman, named
M'Alister, who had been gathering sea-weed along the
shore in the bay called Port-a-Spannaigh, beneath the
Giant's Causeway, was ascending one of the tremendous
cliffs that form that extraordinary natural curiosity, about
four or five weeks ago, she fell just as she had reached the
summit, and was instantly precipitated to the bottom. At
the depth of one hundred and fifty-four feet she came in
contact with a small projection of the rock, which was
covered with verdure ; but rolling off this, she was again
precipitated more than thirty feet, until the broken masses
of stone that strew the beach stopped her further deScent.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary height of the fall, her
breast bone only was broken, and though her body was, of
course, greatly mangled, there are strong hopes of her re-
covery. —Derry Sentinel.
AN AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—Major Connor, who is one of
Lord Mayo's Bobadil men of arms, has, it seems, screwed
his courage up to the point of making a verbal demonstra-
tion of hostility to Mr. Robert Cassidy, who, it will be re-
collected, presumed at the late county meeting at Kildare
to assert the well known fact, that Lord Mayo has secured,
to himself and his heirs for ever, a very large interest in the
property of the Corporation of Naas.
VERY LIKE A WHALE.—There are at present lying at
Dunaney Point, on the property of Lady Bellingham, two
of the largest fishes ever seen in or about this coast ;
they were driven in by the tide on Wednesday evening last.
Fifty men and two horses found some difficulty in drawing
each of themlin on the strand. From their appearance, as
viewed by our informant at a few yard& distance, and the
accounts given by the fishermen in the neighbourhood, they
measure 24 feet in length and 20 round the body, and are
estimated to yield about two tons of oil if properly ma-
naged. From their description it is most probable they
are the bottle-bead or nebble-haul whale, the tamest and
smallest of the tribe, and most likely were lured to our
coast from the arctic sea in pursuit of the shoals of herrings
on their way southward.—Drogheda Journal.

NCENDIA RISM.—On Tuesday evening a fire was
discovered in the fire department of the police building, Glas-
gow, which there is no doubt was the wilful act of some evil-
disposed person. The flames were very soon extinguished be-
fore any material damage had been done; but it was imme-
diately afterwards discovered that attempts had been made to
fire several other parts of thesame building, by placing lighted
shavings against the doors. Fortunately the shavings had
burnt out without doing any other mischief than scorching off
the paint. The malignity of the individual's design is still
more glaring in the fact of his having cut the engine hose in
such a manner that, if they had been required, they would have
been altogether useless. The only person taken into custody
is one of the firemen, named Ilall, whose intrepidity and effec-
tive exertions at fires have been frequently remarked. At the
last meeting of the Board of Police, a gratuity for this indivi-
dualwas moved for his exertions: the motion was opposed,

The spirit of antiquarianism rages to such an ex-
tent at Paris that although two men are placed constantly upon
the watch over the point of the obelisk, which
is not covered
by the case, several small pieces have been broken off, and,
though not bigger than walnuts, have been purchased at no
less than two louis each ; so that it has become absolutely ne-
cessary to extend the case, to prevent a continuance of these
mutilations.

The legality or illegality of the title of the Corpo-
ration remains undecided, owing to the Lords' rejection of the
Municipal Amendment Act.—Suffolk Chronicle.
