IRELAND.

Dann.lN, Nor. 27.—The provincial papers received
yesterday afford ao room to hope that the condition of
affairs is likely to improve. Extermination on the one
hand, and emigration-on the other, will soon leave consi-
derablevortions of the southern and western counties
batmen wildernesses.

There is no political intelligence of the least interest.
The emigration mania stilt continues. A gentleman
who rode through a barony of Kerry last week, states
that he did not see a single plough at work in any field
he passed. In Limerick, Clare, and Waterford, whole
townlands are tenantless, and, of course, entirely uncul-
tivated. The tenantry are emigrating from Lord Clif-
den's Kilkenny estates in hundreds.
A correspondent of the Limerick Examiner says—
" The entire country from the above old town on to
Inockierry, Newcastle, and Rathkeale, is in a most
wretched and sterile condition; no appearance of the
least activity or inclination to put in any seed, or pro-
pose f rit either by gentle or simple. In this range of
35 miles I saw only two fields tilled."
All the voters registered under the Reform Bill have
been disqualified since October, in consequence of lapse
of time—eight years being the period during which the
right remains in force—upwards of 400 voters have lost
the qualification in the county Limerick.
It is said that the port of Waterford is to be reduced
in class, and Limerick raised. The mail-packet station
between Waterford and Milford Haven is to be abo-
lished.

The condition of the Kilrush Union may be imagined,
when it is remembered that upwards of 2,090 houses
have been pulled down, and the inmates turned out to
beg, during the last twelve months.
ILLNESS or T. B. M`MsNus.—On Saturday night
Mr. M'Manus was attacked with a violent fit of retching
and other symptoms indicative of cholera. He continued
very ill all night, and at an early hour yesterday morn-
ing Mr. Marquess, Governor of Richmond Bridewell,
disMdhed a messenger for the medical attendant of the
prison (Dr. Harty), who was promptly in attendance.
Mr. APllanus had, in the mean time, got relief, and
under the care of Dr. Harty, he was yesterday evening
much improved, and going on quite favourably. The
attack was not (as at first apprehended) one of cholera,
but was caused, as we have heard, by a bilious affec-
tion. The patient, although weak, was pronounced out
of danger yesterday evening.—Freeman of this morning.
Tma MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—The Conservatives
have gained two votes in the Town Council by the elec-
tions which took place on Saturday. Mr. Lambert has
displaced the Lord Mayor in St. Andrew's Ward, and a
Mr. Carew has been elected in Merion Ward, in the room
of Mr. Creagh, resigned.

-In the early part of the year 1847 the Geanreertj.lese:
admitted into University College Hospital, labouring
under great inconvenience from a bullet lodged in the
great trochanter of the femur. The operation for its
removal (although it had been essayed fifteen years
previously, without success, by the late Baron Dupuy-
tren) was successfully performed by the late Mr. Liston.
Now, Sir, as one of his dressers, and standing imme-
diately beside the patient, I can safely declare that no
alarm was manifested by the operator or re-assurance
given by the General. I feel it to be only justice to the
memory of the lamented deceased to make this correc-
tion, although the profession well know that fear was
never displayed by that celebrated surgeon.

WEST RIDING ELECTION.—The deputation ap-
pointed at the meeting at Normanton on Saturday last,
an account of the proceedings at which appeared n our
raper of yesterday, reported to a large meeting of leading
onservatives and Whigs held at Leeds on Monday that
Mr. Denison had given his consent to be put in nomina-
tion as a candidate for the representation of the riding.
Mr. Scarlett, one of the deputation, said that as a consti-
tutional Whig and a free trader he felt sati,fied that
Mr. Deni3on's opinions would meet with the approval of
moderate men, Whigs as well as Conservatives. From
the experience of Mr. Denison's past Parliamentary con-
duct, his intelligence and business habits, it was the
unanimous opinion of the meeting that they ought net
to require any pledge from him, having no doubt that
he would fully and usefully represent the great and va-
ried interests of the riding in Parliament. Alr. Denison's
address is hourly expected to be published.
