CITY FISH MARKET.

To-day we had but comparatively little good Fish at Market. Com-
mon was plentiful ; good Fish dear. Turbot, 7s. to 255. ; Soles, 9d. to
.3s. per pair ; Lobsters, is., and Is. 6d.; to ss. each. For Salt Fish the
highest price is 6d. per lb. There is some as low as Id. per lb. Cod
dear, and as high as 235., and even 245. each in some cases.

The Queen went last night to Drury-lane Theatre. Her
Majesty preserved her incognito to the last, and the audience
had the good taste not to interfere with her wishes. She did
not appear in the front of the box, and thereby escaped all the
rude greetings which annoyed her on former occasions. We
are glad to find that the audience of Drury-lane have at length
listened to our remonstrances on the subject ; and we hope that
her Majesty will be henceforth permitted to visit any theatre
she pleases without the riot and formality of a State reception..,
The Royal party was composed of the following persons :--
The Duchess of Sutherland, the :Marchioness of Tavistock,
Miss Spring Rice, the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of
Uxbridge, Hon. Colonel Cavendish, and Vice-Admiral Sir'
R. Otway.

IRELAND.

Dunt.tx, Frr. 27.
TIPPERARY ELECTION—The election for this county com-
menced on Saturday. Only one voter was polled on each
side. It is believed that the Tories have resigned the con-
test, on the ground that Mr. Shiel is disqualified by the statute
of Anne ! " The public," says the Dublin Post of this even-
" and even the decent Tories, will read with disgust the
scandalous attempt mode by the Orangemen of Tipperary,
under the guidance of certain Noble Lords,' to get up a vexa-
tion upposition to the re-election of Mr. Shcil, for • the mere
purpose of putting him to trouble and expense We really
think, considering the great pecuniary sacrifices Mr. Shell has
already made, that it would be only just to bear the Hon.
Gentleman perfectly harmless in this 'contrst. The electors
of Tipperary, and, if necessary, the Liberals 'throughont
Ireland, should take upon themselves the duty of protecting
Mr. Shea against the malevolent faction in Tipperary."
A Clonmel correspondent of the Fieenian's Journal says,
that if the Tories ever seriously cptert:intd the idea of a
contest, ti.e state of the roads would prevent:them from bring-
ing their forces into Clenrnel, the communication with the re-
mote districts being completely interrupted by the floods.
TRIUMPH OF MR. SHlRL.—Since the abl.e was written, we
learn from the Pilot of NV( dnesday, that on Tuesday morning
the Tories took their' man, Mr. Barton, off the ground, and
give up the contest. The letter conveying the information to
Dublin was franked by Mr. Shiel. The numbers were, fer
Mr. Shiel, 201; for Mr. Barton, 77 ; Majority for Shiel,
124. Not one shilling expense has been incurred by Mr.
Shiel. The ilfai/ is dumb-founded, and does not even point
to the numbers; but, mortified and obmutescent, hides them,
as it were; in a corner of its columns.
SIR W. MOLFSWORTH—MR. HUME —THE BOYS OF KIL.
KENNY.—The Pilot, in reference to the motion of which Sir
William has given notice expressire of a want of confidence in
the Colonial Secretary, in an elaborately deprecatory article
on the subject, amongst other observations, makes the follow-
ing appeal to the Hon. Member for Leeds :—" We respect-
fully call upon Sir W. MoleSworth fur his own sake, if, in-
deed, the country is a secondary consideration, to pause before
ke presses a measure which can answer no one purpose, bat
that of serving the enemies of publi_t freedom, and which
must obtain for him the, execration of Ireland, and, finally, the
approbation of every sensible lover of practical freedom in the

The Kilkenny Journal, apparently with all Ireland at its
back, is equally averse V) Sir W. Molesworth's motion, and
calls upen Mr. Hume to separate Liros?lf from an alliance
with the Radicals in " their silly detertuinition." • .
It appears by a letter from our own correspondent, that the
citizens of Kilkenny having been mide seimible of the "ruin-
ous consequences" to Ireland, if the ll:nourable Baronet's
motion should be attended vtith success, are about calling a
public meeting fur the purpose of declaring the desire of the
Honourable Gentleman's constituents, that lie do not support
Sir W. Molesworth's

ABOLITION OF TITHES.—Me. O'Connell has written a long
letter on this subject to the facetious Rector of Balla.
SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.—A Limerick paper
reports the loss•of fourteen lives. On the night of the 10th
instant, the barque, Mary t 47, London. en her passage from
Demerara, in the West Indies, to London, laden with sugar
and molasses, sprung a leak tinder the m ;in chains, between
the Western Islam's and Cape Clear, and within 180 miles of
the main land. Iler crew, which consisted of the captain,
M'Pherson, a native of Edinburgh, and eighteen hands, worked
unceasingly at the pumps fur five da)s, but at the expiration
of that time, worn out pith f..tigne, they were obliged to give
up, when the filled and went down. Five of the hands were
able to get into the small boat, but all the rest, including the
captain, met a watery grave. The five were shortly after
picked up by the brig John, of Cork, which vessel brought
them safely into the Cove of Cork on. Saturday last.
. The John Stamp, Indiaman, on the 17,h, struck upon the
Ballymartin Point. Some lives were lost. The crew clung
by the vessel till she parted, and then they got on a part which
which fell in such a situation, and so near the shore, that about
4, a m., a boat ventured out boldly and took off the survivors,
save two, who were drawn forward on the fore part of the
vessel.

THE GREAT EARL ST. VINCENT.—In congra-
tulating the public on the appearance of the Life and Corres-
pondence of this distinguished naval hero, we arc happy in
being able to state that the work contains one feature of pe-
culiar value and interest—we allude to the collection of the
Earl's letters, which are addressed, among numerous other
well known names, to the following distinguished public cha-
racters :—The Dukes of Kent, Cumberland, Sussex, North-
umberland, Grafton, Beaufort—the Marquisses Cornwallis,
Clanricarde, Townshend, Huntley, Hertford—Lords Grey,
Spencer, Nelson, Uxbridge Bulkley, Keith, Hotham, North-
ampton, Chulmondely, Castlereagh, \Vinehilsea, Berkley,
Chesterfield, Dorchester, Elliott, Gollingwood, Westmore-
land, Dundonald, Galloway—Sirs Sidney Smith, Charles
Grey, Evan Nepeane, Joseph Banks, &c. &c., besides a long
list of distinguished Commoners. So that this highly inte-
resting and important work may be looked upon almost in the
light of an autobiography, made up from materials furnished
by the hand of the hero himself.
OLYMPIC THEATRE.--Last night a new burktta
was produced, called You can't Marry your Grandmother !
It was cast in the strongest manner, the prominent characters
being sufficiently numerous to occupy all the leading per-
formers of the company, though the plot is in itself but
slight. Still the pruning-knife might bo used with ad-
vantage in the first ect. The favourite burletta of One
Hour has been revived with new and bevaiful scet,cry and
dresses. Mathews in his Tarantella dance is as spirited and
graceful as ever.
