ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
DUBLIN. _ _

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
jority was resumed, but the petitioners did not succeed
in striking off any additional votes to-day. A good
deal of time was taken up in proving the legality of the
supplemental building-rate for the parish of St. Mark's,
Dublin ; but eventually the Committee decided that the
evidence was not sufficient to establish the validity of
the rate.

• NORTH CHESHIRE.
The evidence of treating was further proceeded with
this morning.
Mr. Joseph Higginson, proprietor of the Warren
Bulkeley Arms, at Stockport, proved that he supplied a
number of Mr. Legh's voters with dinners, drink, wine
and refreshments, to the extent of 2241. 17s. 10d.
The orders were given by one of Mr.
Leigh's committee, which sat at his house, but
he had sinee not been able to obtain the
amount of his bill.—Mr. George Massey, the landlord:of
the Union Inn at Altrincham, proved that another of
Mr. Leigh's committees held their meetings at his house,
and by their directions he supplied a number of electors
with drink and refreshments. He did not know
the amount of his bill, but it was under 2001. This
witness gave his evidence in a very unsatisfactory
manner, which brought down upon him the re-
prehension of the Committee. The Speaker's war-
rant required him to produce his books, but he
failed to do so; while in a private communication with
Mr. Coppock, the petitioners agent, he bad represented,
as it would now seem falsely, that he had no books. It
turned out, however, thar his bar-maid kept books, in
which entries- were made of the business transacted at
the Union, but it was agreed on both sides that to send
for the books would not compensate for the waste of time
and expense it would lead to.
This being all the evidence the petitioners had to ad-
duce,
Mr. Prinnq summed up at great length, insisting that
sufficient treating had been established to justify the
unseating of' Mr. Leigh. After which the Committee
adjourns(l till to-morrow at eleven o'clock.

IRELAND.
(From the Clonmel Chronicle of Tuesday.)
Within the last two days Clonmel has been filled
with the most alarming rumours. Yesterday it was
reporsed that the clubs were to assemble at the Mile
Tree, near the town, and to make a sudden
irruption into it when darkness favoured them; at
noon to-day an express constable arrived from
Cashel, it was said, with information of an out•
break there; we doubt, however, its correctness.
The most painful anxiety is awakened for to-night,
as the general feeling is, that an insurrection, with till
its horrors, is at hand, and may commence before we
see the light of another day. The police have re-
moved from the barracks in the Irishtown, and taken
possession of the West Gate. Military are to oc-
cupy the main .guard ; and, ne doubt, every neces-
sary preparation will be made for the protection of
the town, and the security of its peaceable inhabi-
tants.

It is further said, that one of the leaders spent last
night at Thorney Bridge, in the neighbourhood of
Slievnamon, and that the Carrick-on-buir corps are
in readiness to join in the onslaught.
'We are informed that the Riding School of the
Cavalry Barracks is open for the reception of families,
or any one who may require protection, and probably
will be so used should alarm and apprehension con-
tinue to prevail as they have since Sunday.
All the police on duty at the Court-house were fur-
nished with their muskets and accoutrements about
one o'clock to-day, even the men placed stationary at
the inner doors.
A number of the inhabitants were served with no-
tices to-day to attend before the magistrates, in order
that they might be sworn in as special constables.
The Nayor and other justices of the peace are now
sitting for the purpose, and a good many are already
enrolled, who will he but too happy to devote all their
energies to the protection of their friends and relatives
residing in Clot-Tie].
