IRELAND.

_
DUBLIN, Nov. 7.
We perceive by the Mail of this evening, that an inves-
tigation has been held at Shinrone, informations taken,
and warrants issued against sixteen persons charged with
the murder of Hogan, the process server, who recently fell at
Dunkerrin. Eight of these unfortunate individuals have, it
appears, been apprehended, and five of them thrown into the
County gaol, and three remain in Birr Bridewell--the rest
have fled. The informations are sworn by the police.
The alleged fact of some of the poor men accused of being
accessory to the death of the process-server will not excite
the least surprise in the mind of any man who remembers
the gross and revolting injustice which, under the name of
law, has been so long and so extensively suffered by the
oppressed people of Ireland. It is natural enough that even
to innocent men the law, as it has been seen there, should
possess terrors fully sufficient to deter men from putting
themselves in the way of its operation.
J. H. SHELL, Ese.—The Lord Chancellor has appointed
J. H. Sheil, Esq., a Mag'strate for Westmeath. A few
more such appointments by Lord Plunkett, together with
some non-appointments of enemies, and a few dismissals
imperatively called for, and our reproofs will be changed to
unqualified approbation.—Pilot.

The same paper observes, with reference to the appoint-
ment of Mr. Fitzsimon, that "the Government has, in this
appointment, proved that it does understand their pos-
session, and it will learn its fruits in the increased con-
fidence of its friends, and a depression and discouragement
of its enemies in equal proportion. We have been
the sceptical ; but we must confess the Irish portion of the
among
Government at least redeems itself each day with an impr,-
ment in spirit of the right sort." ,

Mr. O'Connell arrived in Dublin at late tour on
:E
Sa-
turday evening. An address of condolenP tram nnis has
called forth from the family of Mr. Q' Connell a wish that
he should be spared the agony.; of having his wounds opened
and opened again by a(1-kiresses referring to his bereavement.
TILE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY.--A meeting of this so-
' ciety took place on Thursday last at their house, Kildare-
street—Sir R. Shaw, Bart., in the chair. The report from
the Special Committee relative to the correspondence with
the Treasury during the recess, and on the report and re-
solutions of the Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons, extends to a great length. The tone and character
of the report may he readily imagined from what the Mail
says of it, This factious organ of intolerance, illiberality,
and sinister exclusiveness, describes the lengthy document
as being, " although very temperate, sufficiently firm, and
couched in language suited to the dignity of the Society,
and, at the same time, of respect to the Government."
The Mail labours hard, by taking some answers from the
evidence of Mr. Hamilton and Captain Portlock, to prove
that religious intolerance had nothing whatever to do with
the exclusion of Doctor Murray; but that Dens's work and
the primate's politics led to his rejection by the Society.
According to our Orange contemporary, "the direct causes
that led to Doctor Murray's exclusion, were the desire to
keep clear of a strong political infusion, and the introduc-
tion of agitation, and also a sense of indignation towards
the patron of Dens's abominable Theology." Of course
neither bigotry, party feeling, nor prejudice—nor, indeed,
any unworthy motive whatever influenced the immaculate
Society in their rejection of Dr. Murray. They did not
desire to wound and insult that gentleman, nor to beard
Lord Mulgrave's Government—not they.
DINNER TO DENIS C. BRADY, ESQ., M.P.--This enter-
tainment took place on Wednesday last. It was conducted
in a manner which reflected nearly as much credit on the
hosts as on the guest. The spirit of harmony and patriotism
which pervaded and characterized the proceedings do honour
to the north, and convinces us that even there the principles
of genuine liberty and universal philanthropy are making
rapid progress.

COUNTY or DUBLIN.—In allusion to the information we
communicated relative to the early reassembling of Parlia-
ment, the Mai/ says there must be an election in January,
certainly in February. He is quite sure that a Conserva-
tive will then be returned for the county of Dublin—" if
timely exertions be made !" notwithstanding " the atrocious
(I) and unjust (!) order issued by Lord Mulgrave, enabling
claimants from Swords to register at Ballymore-Eustace,
and residents of Rathcoole to repair to Kingstown, has
given the Radicals a majority on the last recristrat;.on.”
People do not ordinarily get into a passion,
and 'use hard
words, when the prospect of their success
certain ; and
we suspect that the Mail knows and fe
will not in any event return a Tory.. P!‘s that the county
