DUBLIN ML tNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
DUBLIN, MoNnA T, Nov. 26.—The municipal
elections for the NI uncillors going out in triennial
rotation took place to .day. There was no contest of
any interest, except in the case of Mr. Reynolds,
M.P., who was eleci' ed without opposition for the
Castle Ward. Mr. Bu Li, the former town councillor,
being disfranchised for non-payment of rates.
The Hon. Member was also returned for the
Linen Hall Ward by a majority of 45 over the late
Liberal Member, Miles Tobyn ; and, by a majority
of 23 over Mr. Goldsmith, a Conservative, in his own
(the Merrion Ward), notwithstanding the most
strenuous efforts of the Tory party. The decision as
to Mr. Reynolds's right to be on the burgess' roll
will not be decided by the Queen's Bench until
the 11th of January, when he will have been
Lord Mayor. The Tories prophecy a " brief
authorsty" for the Honourable Gentleman, as the
law not only deprives of the chief civic office the
person holding it under the assumed adverse circum-
stances of Mr. Reynolds, but imposes a fine of 50/.
for every act performed in an official capacity by one
unentitled to the Mayoralty. But the law has pro-
verbially many " delays," and it will be odi if Mr.
Reynolds, vibe has won his way through greater
obstacles, do not fight it out to the end of his civic

year.
Ms ENGLISH ALuLs.—Another alteration has been
made in the dispatch of the morning English mail
(or as the Post-office authorities facetiously term it,
the night mail) consequent upon the acceleration of
the trains on the London and North-Western Railway.
Letters will in future be in time until 12, noon,
instead of 10, A.M., as hitherto. This, although
the time allowed is very short, may be
said to be the first real approach to a one day
communication with London. There is no
intention to resume a direct mail to Liverpool:
indeed it could hardly be expected that a sea route at
ten miles an hour should be resumed instead of a
land one at thirty miles an hour. At the same time,
some provision might be made to forward the letters
by a special train from Holyhead on the very few
occasions when it arrives too late for the mail train—
we understand but seven since the commencement of
the transmission by the Holyhead route—and that the
charge tor a special train is under 201.—Freeman's
Journal of Nov. 26.
FAIRS IN CONNAUGHT.—The November fair of Tul-
linadaly was held on Wednesday last ; the supply of
stock was small, and the demand especially for black
cattle was bad, sheep, however, sold well, and nearly
all at the fair were disposed of. At the fair of Clare-
morris, held on Friday, the principal demand was
also sheep, very few sales in black cattle being
effected. The fair of Castlebar, which was held on
Monday, and being the last for this year, was, we
regret to say, equally as bad as the three preceding
ones. The few cattle offered for sale were of a very
inferior description. The fair of Ballinakill, held on
Monday last, was one of the most hope inspiring ex-
hibitions of the kind witnessed in this district for some
time. The show of stock of every description was
large, and fetched good prices. There was a consider-
able attendance of buyers, and much business was
done. Fat cows brought from 8/ to 101; two year
old heifers, 51 10s to 71; yearlings, 2/ lOs to 3/ lOs ;
fat sheep, 24s to 32s ; lambs, 16s to 203; fat pigs,
34s per cwt; stores, 363 to 45s each ; bonhams 203 to
28s per couple.— Tuatis Herald.
MR. BRIGHT AND HIS SPEECH ON IRELAND.
The following letter from Mr. Bright, in reply to
the vote of thanks recently passed to him by the
Repeal Association, was read at the weekly meeting
of that body yesterday, in " Conciliation Hall''--
" Rochdale; Nov. 22, 1849.
" My dear duly received your letter of the
9th of this month, conveying to me the resolution of
the Loyal National Repeal Association, expressive of
their approbation of my recent speech on Ireland. I
can say with all sincerity that I am much gratified to
learn that the views I have formed, and publicly ex-
plained with regard to the calamities which afflict
your country, have met with the concurrence of an
association which must contain within its ranks a
large number of those thoroughly acquainted with
the condition of Ireland, and most honestly anxious
to improve it.
" I can easily believe that upon a case of so much
difficulty as that which Ireland now presents, differ-
ences of opinion will be inevitable, and I am not
therefore discouraged if the policy I have but partially
sketched should seem: to you but a portion of what is
required. I will not now enter into discussion upon
the points you have submitted to me, but can assure
you that to every one of them I will give that con-
sideration which, coming from such a quarter, they
must 30 eminently merit.
" I may remark, however, that I have no idea that
any changes of the law can instantaneously change
the condition of Ireland. Anarchy, political and
social, cannot give place to order in a moment of
time. The long violation of every economical law
cannot be remedied at once, nor can the traces of its
ruin be obliterated in a single season. I have seen
the land, and I have seen the people. I know the
land is fertile, and that the people are industrious.
IVith these elements, then, I propose to work
out the salvation of Ireland ; and my policy
would so secure to industry its reward, and by
perfect justice in your political and ecclesiastical ar-
rangement 4, so extract the root of bitterness from your
social system, that, were it adopted, I have faith that
Irishmen would speedily effect the restoration of Ire-
land.
" I am delighted to believe that a better feeling pre-
vails with you and with us on the great questions which
so deeply interest both countries ; and I shall especially
rejoice if the coming session of Parliament exhibit a
more cordial and united effort, on the part of the
English and Irish Members, to advance such legis-
lative measures as shall be found necessary for the
relief of your suffering country.
" I feel grateful to your Association for the reso•
ution they have passed ; and to you personally for
;he very kind manner in which you have conveyed it
to me, and subscribe myself,
" Yours, very faithfully,
" JOHN BRIGHT.

On Tuesday last a young woman, aged eighteen

his carriage was upset and thrown into a river. His

Our distinguished countrymen, Colonel Hodges, the
British Charge d'Affaires at Hamburgh, is selected as
member of the Commission, and to act as arbiter in
the administration of the difference between Schleswig
Holstein and Denmark. Colonel Hodges is descended
from an ancient Irish house connected with the first
families in this country. At an early age he devoted
himself to the military profession, and served in the
glorious campaigns in Portugal and Spain, under the
Duke of Wellington then Sir Arthur Wellesley, and
fought in every battle, from that before the lines of
Torres Vedras down to the entrance of the British
into Vittoria. Colonel Hodges became more known
in the war bet Ween Don Miguel and Don Pedro, as
he raised in England a military force, and went to
aid the cause of the latter in Portugal, where he also
gained great distinction.—Limerick Chronicle.
We have seen a letter from a manufacturer in the
Weat of England to a respectable woollen draper
in Clonmel, announcing the intelligence that he
was one of the purchasers of the Martin property,
and felt strongly disposed to come over and reside
on his estate in Connemara. As this manufacturer is
rich, and belongs to a family as remarkable for their
enterprise as their wealth, our, friends think it highly
probable that a branch of their great manufacturing
business may also be established in what was once
cal led Dick Martin's kingdom of Indolence.—Tippe-
rary Free Press.

The Tipperary Union is to be widely extended.
Cahirconlish is to be annexed to it, and Castle Lloyd

death occurred.— Clonmel Chronicle.
IYlstt COAL—It is not, perhaps, generally known
that during the past week a cargo of Ballycastle coals
was landed on our quay. We are much gratified
in being able to announce the fact, inasmuch as it
forms evidence of an effort, in some direction,
to develope the mineral resources of this country.
It is true that the arrival of forty-one tons of coal
from any quarter is not in itself a matter of much
moment ; but, when we consider the important results
to which enterprise, of this nature inevitably tends,
we are compelled to admit that .it is, by no means,
right to pass it over in silence —Banner of Ulster.
