IRELAND.

LOYAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

Last Monday there was a meeting of this body in the
Corn Exchange in Dublin, Mr. M'Cleland in the Chair.
Amongst the members admitted that day was Sir M.
D. Bellew, Bart., who said that if he did not believe
Legislative Independence would lead to happy results,
he would.never.have come forward to join the ranks of
Repeal.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT brought forward the Report
of the Committee appointed to inquire with regard to
the opposition given to the Legislative Union in 1800.
The Report was read ; its adoption proposed, te-
conded, and carried by acclamation.
On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, a standing order
was then rescinded for the purpose of giving to Mr. Ray,
who was in a bad state of health, and required assis-
tance to do the business of the Association, an increase
of salary.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then brought
forward a series of resolutions condemning the Corpo
rate Reform Act as " derogatory and insulting
to the people of Ireland," and as affording
addition proof of the impossibility of obtain.
ing justice for Ireland without a resident Domestic
Legislature. The resolutions were to be placarded
through the city, and copies of them transmitted to
every member of the old Corporation. Several sums
of money were handed in, and Mr. O'Connell said that
124/. 6s. had been received during the last week. The
meeting, was adjourned to Monday next.
There is no truth in the report that Judge Perrin
has left town to demand an explanation from Lord
Lyndhurst, for his cutting attack in the Lords.--
Limerick Chronicle.

Not only is there no foundation for such a report,
hut no such report ever had any existence, save in the
fortile imagination of the Munster Fabulist himself—
Dublin Evening Post.

DRAINING THE HAARLEM the
accounts received yesterday from Amsterdam, are
given some interesting particulars of the means which it.
Is proposed to adopt in the gigantic undertaking fur drying
the lake of Haarlem. Mr. Dietz, a celebrated Dutch
engineer, has invented a machine which it is supposed
will be adopted for this purpose, and by means of which
he calculates that 100,000 cubic ells of water may be
drained off daily. This ingerious person estimates the
b ,cly of water contained in the Haarlem Sea at 770 mil•
lions of cubic feet, to empty which it would require ten of
his machines of thirty hone plvver each, the quantity
drained off by them daily being one million of cubic feet,
thus making the period required for its entire removal
300 days. The estimated expenditure oral's work, second
inly in grandeur and importance to the lbarnet Tunnel,
,5 as follows : Florins.

10 mach,nesat 30 florins for each 300,000
Coals, &C., 500 ft wins per diem for 800 days 400,000
60 workmen at 1 florins each per diem for 800
