IRELAND.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) •
DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.—The weather continues
severe here, the Dublin mountains are covered with
snow, and the whole country has the appearance of a
second winter. The wind is still at N.E., and no pros-
pect of a change.
THE CORN TRADE.—There was a dull market to-day
at the Corn Exchange for all descriptions, but oats met
a fair demand, and secondary qualities were rather
dearer. There was more inquiry tor Indian corn, and a
trifling advance was realised.
THE RATE IN AID BILL—From the evidence given
on Wednesday by Mr. Twisleton before the Select
Committee, the opposition of the rate in aid are in hopes
that Munster will abandon the measure.

DREADFUL MURDER.—An industrious poor farmer
named Curley was barbarously murdered yesterday,
near Athlone, by a party of seven ruffian'', who first set
fire to an out house adjoining Curly's dwelling, and on
the latter making his appearance he was fired at by two
or three of the gang, and fell mortally wounded. The
unfortunate man was over 70 ears of age.
TRANSMISSION or CONVICTS.—One hundred males
and one hundred females were embarked this day at the
North Wall for transmission to Spike Island, where
they will remain until shipping is provided for their
ultimate destination, New South Wales.

every kind of instrument of maiming. And why was
this prodigious number of people there asseimbled? To
is make fosses, barricades, forts, mines. Every one runs,
every one flies to devote himself to his country ; nor i,
there any distinction of noble or plebeian, young or
old, woman or man. Every one gives his work—his
arm, his by art—his substance. Assembled yesterday
; morning at six o'clock in the Piazza della Vittoria, this
prodigious number of people, amounting to more than
30,000, and furnished with every instrument of
masonry, walking through the Toledo in the most
perfect order, divided in companies and battalions,
carrying at the head of each its banner, borne
either by the ministers of the altar or by citizens with
musical bands. And here, hovvlis it possible to describe
the emotion of the people, the acclamations of the
women, and of those who thronged together in the
balconies? A general ' eeriva I resounded every-
where, intermingled with repeated imprecations on the
tyrant; and these blessed sons of Etna, in the drunken-
ness of their enthusiasm for the salvation of
their country, marched to the place pointed
out t'i them by the engineers for the con-
struction of defences. We cannot describe the im-
posing scenes which took Thee in the evening. The
return of labour showed the true spirit of the Sicilian.
The u omen marched to the sound of musical instru-
ments, the men of all classes followed, singing the tremen-
dous hprio, • Della pelle del Borbone it tamburo do-
bliam format.' (of the skin of the Bourbon mid we make
our drum), until they arrived beneath the windows of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, when Ruggiero Set-
time, the idol of Sicily, spoke patriotic words to the
people. In the evening there was a general illumina-
tion; and thus finished this greatest of demonstrations--
thus Palermo responded to the ultimatum of the infa-
mous Ferdinand of Naples—of that Ferdinand who was
not the legitimate Sovereign of Sicily, by virtue of the
104th article of the treaty of Vienna; but possessed of
the simple title only, as of Jerusalem. We await the
moment of the rupture of the armistice, to make a
slaughter of the .Neapolitans—our only example to
tyrants."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs re-assembled
on Thursday, and after a long and warm discussion
resolved to send a deputation to the PRESIDENT of the
Republic to recommend the occupation of Northern
Italy by a French force. The following was said to
be the resolution adopted by the Committee :
" The National Assembly, jealous of ensuring the
dignity of Franco, as well as the maintenance of peace,
founded on the respect of nationalities, concurring in the
sentiments expressed at the sitting of Wednesday by the
President of the Council, and confiding in the Executive
power, declares that if the Government should think
proper to support its negotiations by the temporary oc-
cupation of a portion of Upper Italy, it may rely on the
co-operation of the National Assembly."
The Patric announces the arrival of CHARLES AL-
j° BERT at Lyons.
he The Constitutionnel says—
" It is announced that the Government has sent by
°ales telegraph to Toulon the order fur the embarkation of
at the the division, which is partly there and partly at Mar-
where *miles. This division is ordered to Civita Vecchia."
or their In the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs announced that the French
Government had received intelligence of the conclu-
West India sion of an armistice between the new King of PlED-
the West In-
MONT and Marshal RADETZE.T. Until the ' de-

ap) Jm le dispatches which have been re-
ceived 1 the French Government, that when RA-
DETZKY AS informed of the abdication of CIIARLES
ALBERT, heat once consented to the armistice which
had been proposed by Mr. ASERCROMBY and M.
Bois LE COMTE. , The words of Marshal RADETZLY
are stated to have been as `follows
" The abdication of the King, who, unjustly and with-,
out any metii-e, twice declared war against nay Sove-
reign, is the most honourable.ameridethat Austria could
demand. Far from wishing to weaken or embarrass the'
new King on his advent to his throne, by
.the military
occupation' of Turin by my troops, I s'nallle happy to
act towards the young mcnarch with all the respect and
delicacy due to one' so nearly connected with the house
of Austria." -

TURKEY.
Intelligence from Constantinople has been received
to the 15th. Rixt PACHA has been dismissed from
his post of Seraskier, and disgraced by the SULTAN.
NIEIIMET ALL PACHA, Grand Admiral, has been ap-
pointed Generalissimo, and SULEYMAN PACHA. has
been named Capitan Pacha ; other changes are ex-
pected, so that the character of the future Ministry is
at present doubtful. The cause of lirza's disgrace is
said to be owing to differences between him and the
Generalissimo respecting Wallachia, the latter having
made great military preparations for taking decisive
steps with regard to that province, without submitting
his plans to Rua.
The idea of a war with Russia is very popular
among the Turks.
The Journal du Commerce of Antwerp says—
" Several couriers from the British Cabinet, who
passed through Berlin within the last few days, were
the bearers of dispatches, in which Lord PONSONSY,
the British Envoy at Constantinople, informs Lord
PALMERSTON that all the representations which he
has made relative to the occupation of the Danubian
Principalities by Russia have been repelled by that
power ; and that the Porte has addressed itself to him
(Lord PONSONBY), begging him to demand the active
support of his Government to repel the encroach..
ments of the Russians."

He has consequently agreed not to enter Turin,
and the King of SARDINIA has consented to give or-
ders for the immediate withdrawal of the fleet from
the Adriatic. The peace is to be negotiated under
the auspices of the plenipotentiaries of France and
England. The new King, VICTOR EMANUEL, en-
tered Turin on the 27th.

During the trial at Bourges on Thursday, the
counsel for the prisoners was repeatedly interrupted
by the President, for making use of unbecoming
language. _

We are assured," says the Constitutionnel, " that
M. FORTH ROUEN, Charge d'Affaires of the French
Republic at Canton, has written to France for two
ships of war, as a precaution against certain events
which are feared in China."
It is stated in a letter from the Isle de la Reunion
(Bourbon) that in consequence of a disease in the
sugar cane, the crop of sugar this year is reduced by
at least one-third. A rise has taken place in the
price of sugar in Paris.
PARIS BOURSE.—FRIDAY, MARCH 30.
THREE o'CLocx.—The French Funds rose no less
than 2f. to-day, in consequence of its being known that
Marshal Radetzky had agreed to an armistice on the
conditions proposed by the English and French Minis-
ters. The Funds were exceedingly buoyant all day.
The Piedmontese and Roman Funds have also improved.
In short, this was one of the brightest days the Paris
Bourse has seen since the revolution of February. Ex-
change on London (30 days), 25 25 money; ditto (90
days), 25 123- money.
