IRELAND.

HIGH SHERIFFS.—The Mail, poor devil, has a doleful
Jeremiad on the conduct of Government for passing over the
Judges Lists, and appointing fourteen High Sheriffs that do
not appear in the return. The fourteen rejected are Orange-
men, and, therefore, they ought not to appear. Our county
statistics have been of some service after all.

With regard to the County of Longford, vacant by the death
of Mr. Jessop, we understand that Mr. O'Ferrall, the brother
of the Member for Kildare, was nominated. This gentleman,
on account of the pressure of personal business, has been
obliged to decline the honour. It has been conferred, in con-
sequence, on Sir Percy Nugent, the late High Sheriff for
Westmeath—a more active, energetic, or liberal officer his
Majesty has not in Ireland.—Dublin Post.
COUNTY TIPPERARY ADDRESS.—The highly respectable
Deputation presented the County Tipperary Address on
Thursday last to his Excellency.
The reply of his Excellency contains a most gratilying ad-
vertance to the improved condition of the County, as regards
the diminution of crime, exhibited by the latest return.
SIIARP PRACTICE.—The Commission of Rebellion, though
a powerful engine for subduing the refractory tithe recusants,
requires to be used with more caution than the clergy seem
disposed at present to exercise in its application. In a case
tried in the Exchequer on the 14th (the Rev. J. Lewis v.
Brennan), the process of discharging this terrific machine was
so unguarded, that it recoiled on the assailants, by which-the
attorney in the cause lost his costs. Mr. Pennefather was
employed for the plaintiff, but though his brother, the Baron,
was on the Bench, the proceedings were declared vexations,
and irregular, and were stayed. On Mr. Coates (plaintiff's so-
licitor) observing to the Court—But, my Lords, shall I not
have my costs for the present motion ? Chief Baron—Cer-
tainly not.—( A laugh.)
TWELVE PERSONS DROWNED.—On Sunday last, a sail beat
conveying passengers from Limerick, with marketting, &c. to
Killydysart, was upset in a squall, and went down, when of 15
persons on board only three were saved.
REGISTRY.—The Liberals are supine ; by the latest
intelligence they were in a minority.
A new Liberal Club is being formed. It will comprise a
vast body of members, and embrace a considerable portion of
the aristocracy. The Reform society bas enrolled several Irish
membei's in its managing committee, in order to draw closer
the two associations.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are three French mails, two Os-
tend, and one Hamburg. A Dutch mail is still due. We have
ship letters from Berbice.
By the Express from Paris this morning, it would appear
that Don Carlos has left Onate, to reside at Mendragon, where
the Infant Don Sebastian will follow him. It is stated that
the Cure Merino has died in the village of d'Arquetia, near
Estella.

," Accounts from the Havannah of the 10th of December state,
that the military in that island are determined to support the
cause of Liberty in Spain, for which purpose they have sub-
scribed patriotic donations to the amount of fifty thousand
piastres. The Island of Cuba has also given from four to five
hundred thousand piastres. The same letter adds, that the
Government will adopt for the service of the State a million
of piastres, which remain unemployed in the Bank of St.
Ferdinand.
Accounts from Toulon state that since the orders given for
the ships there to be put on the war establishment, the tele-
graph is constantly at work in the Arsenal and in the roads.
There is an extraordinary movement since the 12th inst. It
is mentioned that the violent gale has blown down the " Tree of
Liberty" which was planted in July 1830.
