IRELAND.

Agitation throughout Ireland cc.ntraues unabated, and so
many reports of meetings crowd upon us, that we find it
utterly impossible to notice th,Jra, The Louth meeting was
the last. This distinguished. County, no less strongly than
justly, gave expression to the general indignation.
A protest appears in Tory papers, from the county of
Kildare, against an address which was agreed to on the 16th
of April, at a public, meeting in Naas, and presented to the
Lord Licutenant.t. by the Earl of Mi'town, and upwards of a
hundred inderendent resident gentlemen of this county.
This counte,t--declaration, as a Contemporary truly observes,
sets forth todidein Verbis, that the undersigned do not concur
in " thu principle on which his Excellency's appointment to
the Government was founded;" and truly, considering who
the principal persons among the undersigned are, it would be
one of tke strangest things in nature if they did concur in any
such principles. For at the very head and front of them stands
the Earl of Mayo, who, by virtue of himself and his good.
family, constitutes the Corporation sole of Naas. His princi-
ples are well understood, I)) practical proof of no dubious cha-
racter, to be most sincerely hostile to that principle of" po-
pular control," asserted. in the amendment carried by Lord
John Russell, which laid the foundation for sending Lord Mu:-
grave to Ireland.
TP.'2. RING'S .thrent Day.-=-The celebration of the anniver-
ary of his Majesty's birth day is always a gala day to the citi-.
zens of Dublin, but on Saturday last they evinced more thr.n
their usual alacrity to join in the festivities. There was a re-
view in the Phcenix Park, and a grand fete at the Vice-Regal
Lodge was given in the evening.
TONGUE-CUTTING.—Sunday night the tongues were, cut out
of three calves, the property of a farmer of the name of Con-
don, residing on the lands of Bosnetstown, near Kiiiinanc, by
somebrutal incendiaries, who are yet undiscovered..—Limerick
Chronicle.- If this story be not one of the =llly fabrications
from the same quarter, we must take the fact of this new pro-
cess of incendiarism (?) as a proof of the Intrch of intellect
amongst the followers of Captain Rock in tht county of Lime-
rick. Bat We incline to believe that those tongue-cutting in-
cendiaries
,arc hut the creation of the brilliant fancy of the
Orange Editor in Limerick.—Dublin _Evening Post.
THE CM:RCM—Mr. Swectman's t:ase is a peculiarly grievous
one. lie is not only sued by tb's representatives of the late
Bishop of Ferns,- but received en the day of sale a notice from
the solicitors of the Rev. IL Morgan, that he would be pro-
ceeded against in •the superior- courts, for the sum of 61., or
thereabouts. alleged to he •due under Stanley's Composition
Act, to said Rev. Gelitleman, if not forthwith paid. Under
this act the plaintiff' has the power of summarily bringirig the
goods of the defendant to the hammer, and as the successful
issue of any suit in these expensive courts cannot put the plain-
tiff in a better position, the object must be pure, malicious, un-
alloyed persecution. It is stated that Mr. Swcetman means
,to petition the House of Commons on the subject- Tho
example should be generally and speedily followed, so that
the English Members might be made aware of the frightful
system which is in operation. The scandalous proceedings
under the " Commissions of Rebellion" in that county, it
would appear, have been emphatically brought under the no.
tice of the Executive, and we trust the result will be a. manly
and constitutional grappling with the enormous power to which
an antiquated form of law has been transformed.—Register.

Orange allegiance to King and country is beautifully-exem-
plified by the following paragraph from the Packet :—A cor-
respondent informs us that at the quarterly meeting of the
district Orange Lodge of Coleraine on Monday last, it was
resolved to remain in state quo until it shall be otherwise de-
creed by Act of Parliament. A similar resolution trill, we
understand, be come to by the districts of Cavan, Longford,
Fermanagh, and Tyrone. An opinipn generally prevails in
the North of Ireland that the Grand Lodge could not dissolve
itself, and that the Orange Lodges throughout the country
will be empowered to elect a Grand Lodge on the sth of No-
vember next, the day of the annual meeting for that purpose.

On Monday the collectinp.-;clerk of Messrs. Robarts,
Curtis, and Co., was robbed of, or lost, his case, containing
upwards of 6,000/. The amount of bank-notes was only 606!.",,
the remainder consisting of checks, which have" been stopped_
The loss took place in the Borough.
In consequence of the long prevalence of easterly
winds and cold weather, a vast number of persons in the higher
circles have been attacked by influenza. At the Queen's ball
last week a vast number of apologies were sent for non-attend-
ance on this account.

On Fiiday evening last, an extraordinary meteor
was distinctly visible at ilminster, for nearly three minutes
'
its first appearance was in the East, at a high elevation, of
considerable brilliancy and size, surrounded by lurn;floos rays
similar to a comet ; it passed slowly in a line towards the west
of north-west, gradually diminishing in size, and at last de-
creasing to a bright point, it entirelydisap
