IRELAND.

TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
The Rev. Hugh M'Neile, whose gross and in-
decent attack upon the amiable family of the King
has gained him a degree of notoriety to which he has
for many years vainly aspired by histrionic displays
on behalf of the Jews in the pulpit, is a native of
Ireland, and an Alumnus of this College. His
academic career was not remarkable for its brilliancy.
He just got his degree—no more; and made hirriself
conspicuous chiefly by courting the society of Con-
way, the player, 'and spouting odds and ends of
Shakspeare about the College-park, in imitation of
that overgrown bull-calf. It is not known in these
parts whether an English or an Irish Bishop had the
honour of ordaining him. Being a discreet as well
as pious divine, he never alluded to the Court of
George the Fourth, because it was a model of vir-
tuous propriety. He did not even express his
righteous indignation on the occasion of a certain
Kcw•rious and fatal liaison, which made some noise
at ►he commencement of last year. But the atrocity
of bestowing an Earldom on a distinguished officer,
a gentleman of unblemished reputation, and who is
the favoured and constant guest of the most virtuous
Princes in Europe—to confer titles of honour upon a
blameless, modest, unpretending race, who are allied-
to some of the highest blood in the Peerage,
this was too strong for his puritan stomach. He
could not away with it. It was desecrating that
" honourable dignity of station" which is adorned
by the Conynghams, the Stewarts, the Cecils, the
Dundesses, the Harboroughs, the Wellesleys, et hoc
genus onme. Mr. M'Neile is married to a daughter
of the Archbishop of Dublin.

IRELAND.-DISTRESS IN THE WEST-

THE ARMY.

THE 7TH HUSSAAS.--ThiS fine corps has contributed
one day's pay to relieve the necessities of our suffering
countrymen in the west ; which, amounting to 54/. 16s.
lod., we have heard was transmitted on Monday to the
" Relief Association," 16, Upper Sackville-street. We
fondly hope that this generous and charitable feeling will
extend itself, and that the other regiments of the service
will follow this noble example.
The 68TII REGIMENT.-Actuated by feelings of hu-
manity, alike honourable to the officers and men of the
68th regiment, we are proud in being able to record their
munificent contribution to the same object, by the hands
of their gallant commanding officer, Colonel Cross, who
has transmitted 32/. lie. 6d.—Evening Packet.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from
the Very Rev. Dean O'Sbaugl►nessy to his relatives here.
It is dated Dublin, Saturday evening, June 11, and states,
that the Dean had just then parted from Mr. O'Connell,
who a few minutes previously had had an interview with
the Lord Lieutenant and the Right Hon. E. G. Stanley.
" These personages had promised Mr. O'Connell," writes
the Dean, " that not only would the life of Carroll, now
under sentence of death in Ennis, he spared, but that most
of the married convicts under sentence of transportation
would be restored to their families, provided the peasantry
surrender their arms, and instantly evince a disposition of
not disturbing the peace of the county henceforward."--
Limerick Herald.

A Longford Correspondent states that one hundred and
five persons Lave been turned off the estate of Lord Lorton,
in the parish of Kilice, county Longford, within the ►ast
five or six weeks, and that the land held by these one
hundred and five persons, consisting of twenty-one fami-
lies, has been given to three individuals " of the right
sort " Those turned out, it is almost unnecessary to say,
are Catholics, some of them widows; but the charity that
would assail a Monarch for the love be bears his children,
it is not to be supposed can tolerate the vicinity of " mere
Irish" peasantry.—Dublin Morning Register.
TERRY ALT.—It is not generally known that the mars
from whom the turners up of land in the county Clare
have taken their nom de guerre, Terry Alt, is now a po-
liceman in the county Wicklow.—lbid.
The Northern Whig complains that great obstruction
has been given by the Marquis of Donegal to the Bill for
improving the harbour of Belfast.

STATE OF CLARE.-The effects of the late Commission
are already manifesting themselves in several quarters of
the county so rapidly as to promise the happiest results.
Some respectable landholders in the neighbourhood of
Broadford, terrified from their homes for the last two
months, were noticed on Thursday to return, with every
promise of protection ; and it was truly gratifying to see
them and their tenantry and labourers on Friday pursuing
the labours of the field, resolved upon forgetting and for-
givingi the strayings of the last three months. This s
not the only instance of the kind that has reached us.
On Sunday last the Rev. P. Fallon, P.P. of Liscannor,
addressed his flock from the altar, on the ruinous ten-
dency of the late disorders, reading for them the proceed-
ings of the late Commissions, which he explained to them
in the Irish language, and it had such an effect upon them
as to elicit simultaneous acclamation from the assembled
thousands of their abhorrence of the crimes that lately dis-
graced the county, and in proof of their sincerity, above
300 of the congregation repaired to the only two farm'
turned up in the parish, namely, the glebe land of Arch-
deacon Whitty and that belonging to Mr. Lyddy ; and
although the rain was falling in torrents, not a man left
the fields until every sod was replaced. Several stand of
arms have been delivered up. Mr. Steele has been through
several parts of the late scenes of disturbance for the last
ten nights, and his success has been proportionate to bis
exertions.— Clare Sentinel.

Dress of Lady Clare, the Terry Alt, and party, as de-
.cribed by a witness of a recent trial at Ennis :—" I called
for mercy, and the lady outside asked was I speaking, and
then she said Bring out the rascal ;' one of them made
a stroke of a rafter at me ; a man with a pistol came
into the house after I opened the door, at their order ; his
name was Thomas Quaily ; he caught me by the shirt,
and drew it over my Lice, and threw me on the straw
outside on my face ; got a blow of a heavy piece of timber,
about a foot and a half, on my back; they wore shirts,
and bandages on their hats, except two, who wore waist-
coats, and two had their coats and sleeves turned inside
out ; the person in woman's dress wore a white gown,
dark spencer, straw bonnet, black veil, and white stock-
ings ; she asked me, while I was lying down and they
were beating me, why I did not quit when I was noticed?
and I said I never was noticed."

TITEIES.—We are sorry to learn that the neighbourhood
of Killarney, in the county Kilkenny, between Kilkenny
and Thomastown, is very uneasy on the subject of tithes.
—Watcrford Mirror.

On Sunday last, a corporal of the 74th Regiment, pro-
ceeding from Scariff to Feacle, lost a 101. note. When he
arrived at the latter place, Mr. Steele was addressing an
assemblage of from three to four thousand persons en the
necessity of surrendering arms, and returning to their
former peaceable habits. When he had concluded, the
corporal requested Mr. Steele and the pariah priest to use
their influence for the recovery of the note. In ten
minutes it was nstored.—Linzerick Post.

Assiz E s.—We have good authority for stating
that it is in contemplation of his MAJESTY'S Ministers to
bring a Bill into Parliament this year, for dividing the
county of Lancaster, as far as the holding of the assizes is
concerned ; and the next year, another for carrying the
Lane measure into execution, as far es regards the county
of York. If the present Ministers, therefore, remain in
power, and we trust no untoward accident will occur to
bring such a severe calamity upon the kingdom as the re-
storation of Ultra-Tory power, the assizes for the West
Riding will be removed to Wakefield. Yet ought not this
good disposition of Government to sink the inhabitants of
this populous trading district into apathy; but rather to
rouse them to greater exertion, to second and invigorate
these good intentions, by their own earnest and energetic
petitions.-- Wakefield Journal.
PATRICIAN PRIDE.---One of the Lairds
o' Fife, who could trace his ancestral line as far back as
the foundation of Largo Law, but whose acres had been
frittered away by the very wafting of the wings of Time,
was sitting lonely one night in his dingy old hall, counting

After ruminating for some time on many sore evils under
the sun, the Laird called for his vassal LATTA, whom he
bad long fee'd with a cow's grass, and broadly hinted that
be must go, and by hook or by crook bring him some
money. " Money !" exclaimed the astonished vassal,
" ye ken fu' weel 1 has nave, and wbaur can I gang to
get it ?"—" LATTA," said the Laird, " you must bring
me money,
if you should go to h-11 to seek it "
Deed, your Honour," replied LATTA, " I wad do
muckle to Oblige ye ; but were I to tak' sae Lang a
journey, I ken nae luau body there but your father, and
it he's no rifer o' the Tiller than he used to be, I'm think-
ing I wad get little for my pains !"--Seotsman.
