IRELAND.

Duaux, APRIL 2.—There is no political news in the
provincial papers received this morning, but the Meagher.
and Mitchells of Dublin, with their army of •' pikemen"
and " rifles," appear to have succeeded in stirring up
the bile of the Ulster men, and in raising it to a high
state of activity. Their resolve—if any they have
formed—must now evidently be to fight for repeal, not
only against the Saxon soldier, but the Irish Protes-
tant, and this also without even a distant promise of
assistance from the revolutionary Government of France.
An edition of the Freeman's Journal, published lest
night, seeks to establish that the alleged manufacture
of pikes in Dublin i 3 all a plot of the police, sanc-
tioned by the Government, to make out a case against
the " people!" They found this conclusion on certain
occurrences at Henry-street Police-office.
Rifle practice is said to be in practice in all parts of
the town; but there is no faith to be placed in these ru-
mours, vifriich arc grossly exagger...ted.
The Rifle Club of Limerick commenced practice on
Thursday. In firing at the target, " Here's for Claren-
don," or " Sir Henry Hardinge," was the cry of those
who took aim.

The Roscrea police are stated to have seised a lot of
pikeheads and poles in that town.
An armed party attacked the house of a farmer
named O'Donnell, residing at Kilcreedy, county of
Limerick, on Wednesday night. They demanded money
for powder and ball, which being refused, they fired a
shot through one of the windows. They then succeeded
in obtaining 11.
The mansion-house of the Rev. Mr. Brophy, of Roe-
naclonan, Queen's County, was maliciously fired and
destro3ed on last Saturday night week. On the follow-
ing night a large plantation, containing 700 trees, the
property of George Rae, Esq., was also maliciously
tired and destroyed, near his residence at Lorn Park,
between Roscrea and Templemore.
The Limerick Chronicle states that withdrawals of de-
posits from the savings' bank of that town do not at
present exeeed the average of this season of the year,
when money is wanted for emigrant and farming pur-
poses.
There are two men to be hanged at Nenagh for mur-
der on the 22d inst.

The Countess of Durham, Rowlands, master, sailed
on Thursday from Waterford for New York, with lito
passengers, all respectable, comfortable-looking farmers.
She is the first spring ship from that port.
Fifty vessels have arrived at Limerick within the last
three days, fifteen of them with Indian corn.

On Friday last, by the magistrates at Limerick Petit
Sessions, informations were ordered against Richard
Gleeson, of Drombanna, for having six leaden balls,
and a quantity of powder in his possession, contrary to
the provisions of the recent statute. Constable Kean
summoned Thomas Meehan, of same place, for having
three pistols, a powder-horn, and shot-pouch; also John
Griffith, for having a gun ; Michael M'lnery, for
having powder and shot ; aad Owen M'Carthy, for
having a gun, &c. These parties having received a
good character, as peaceable persons, the cases were
left open, to afford them an opportunity of obtaining
licenses.
It is said that Government has made arrangements for
supplying the well-disposed inhabitants of the large
towns with arms and ammunition, should the necessity
arise for such a proceeding.
One count in the indictment to be preferred against
Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell, charges
them, under the 37th George 111., Ist Victoria, 91,
with endeavouring to seduce her Majesty's forces from
their allegiance—in this case (if convicted) they would
incur the punishment of transportation for their natural
lives.

Lours PIIILIPPE.—It has been erroneously stated
in some journals, that, among other places, Airlie Castle
has been put at the service of the ex-King of the French.
We have the best authority for mentioning, that not
Airlie Castle, in Perthshire, but Cortachy Castle, inFor-
farshire, was offered to his Majesty; and with the amplest
acknowledgments of gratitude declined on the part of the
ex-King.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
