IRELAND.

The Tipperary Free Press announces that Mr. Sheil will
not be returned without a contest—either Mr. Barker or Mr.
Dawson will oppose, though without the most distant pros-
pect of success.
Of the result of the election no intelligencelhas yet reached us.
The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday publishes additional
details of a most melancholy character, of the wrecks on the
Coast, and of the great loss of life in the snow in the interior.
Further accounts of a similar kind have reached us this day,
for which we are unable to make room. The Waterford
Chronicle states that six bodies had been dug out of the snow
on the Welch mountains near that city. The number of
lives lost, by sea and land, is immense.
It blew a violent gale in Dublin from about eleven o'clock
last Saturday night, accompanied with a heavy fall of rain,
which has continued all day. The snow has entirely disap-
peared from our streets ; but the thaw and rain have produced
deep floods. The roads at Rathmines and the diffeeent other
outlets are conipletely flooded. We fear that great danger
will be done in the country from the inundations which may
naturally be expected.
BOARD 017 NATIONAL EDI:CATO:I.—We yesterday noticed
the fact that the Archbishop of Tuam had addressed through
the columns of the Freeman, a long letter to Lord John Rus-
sell, deprecating the Ministerial system of National Educa-
tion. The Dublin Evening Pest of Saturday enters at length
into the subject, observing, " We hare no misgivings whatever
as to the success and the final triumph of the National System,
although we find it once more assailed by Doctor Mant, the
Protestant Bishop of Down, and by Doctor Machale, the Ca-
tholic Archbishop of Tuam, as well as by Dr. Cooke, the
Presbyterian Pope of Ulster. On the contrary, we are
amongst those who rejoice that the Extremes of all parties
have joined—have made a Holy Alliance, against the system.
It is an evidence, at all events, that it is a National System ;
and that, in the circumstances in which:lreland is placed, it is
the only one that can work beneficially.

SATURDAY.

(1,11011 A COBRESPONDENT.)
Severe as the winter has been for the last seven weeks, the
snow storm which commenced hero this morning between
three and four o'clock has surpassed in severity anything
ex-
perienced hitherto. With hardly an interval the snow has
Wien incessantly during the last sixteen hours, the wind
blowingat times a strong gale from the east and south-east.
The s sea is running tremendously high on Tynemouth Bar ;
and it is much. to be apprehended there will be serious damage
to the shipping all along the eastern coast. The Carlisle
Mail arrived much about the usual time this afternoon, so
that it would seem that on the Western Road the snow was
not drifted. How it may fare with the Great North Road we
can only learn late this evening ; it is however expected that
the mail from Edinburgh will be behind time considerably.
Since the memorable winter of 1814, so long a continuance
of severe weather has not been experienced ; and the pres-
sure upon the humbler classes of the community has really
become of a very appalling nature. True it is, the more
affluent have contributed most liberally towards various cha-
rities--especially the soup kitchens of the town, where every
day several hundred gallons of excellent and nutritious soup
are dispensed by ticket to all who will apply for it. The cor-
poration headed the subscription for this charity by a donation
of oNE HUNDRED POUNDS, and, it is said, they will double the
sum if it be necessary. The coal-owners, too, have been most
liberal m giving away large quantities of coals to the needy.
Warm clothing has also been dispensed with a bountiful hand,
so that altogether the poor in this neighbourhood have shared
largely in the sympathy and benevolence of their more afflu-
ent brethren during the present very trying season. This is
as it ought to be.

WORKHOUSES FOR IRELAND.—A correspondent
sugge'ts, since the Legislature is about to adopt Poor-laws
for Ireland, and the Protestant ehurches in Ireland are in
many parts useless, and in others nearly so, that they might
be converted into workhouses, when they would serve the
cause of God and humanity in affording shelter and relief to
a people who, being " aliens in blood and religion" cannot
profit by a foreign church, and a tithe campaigning clergy.
