IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
SUSPENSION OF TUE BELFAST RIOTS.

The Belfast papers of yesterday bring the wel-
come news of a suspension of hostilities—at all
events for the present ; but an uneasy feeling still
appears to prevail, and that it would require un-
abated vigilance on the part of the authorities to
prevent a renewal of the outrages. The Banner of
Ulster thus reports :
" We are at length enabled to congratulate the peace-
able portion of the ccenrnun;ty on the suspension of the
party warfare which disgraced Belfast during the greater
part of the past week. We would gladly have used the
more satisfactory word ' cessation,' but, recollecting the
sudden and unlooked for manner in which the disruption
of the peace of the town took place on Sabbath evening
se'nnight, and being well and long acquainted with the
passions, prejudices, and practices of the aggressors—
the lowest and most ignorant of the Roman Catholic
population, the majority of whom, not being Belfast
people, care nothing for the good name or welfare of the
town, whose bread they thanklessly eat —we cannot trust
ourselves to be over sanguine as to existing prospects.
It would not be safe for us to ray more than that the
tumults, for the present, have subsided, none having
frighted our city from its propriety since Thursday
night, and that the effervescence of factious and bigoted
ilihumour no longer disturbs the surface of local society."
The same paper se ks to throw the whole blame
of the outrages upon the shoulders of strangers, and,
adopting this view of the situation, the Banner
says :

"A stranger, at least, in visiting a town of which he
may have heard at no distant date as the commercial me-
tropolis of Ireland and the centre of Protestant civilisa-
tion in tbis country, would be led to suppose that we lived
on the perilous crust of a volcano of party strife, when
he saw our streets r,fa with constabulary and our barracks
choke-full of troops, not to BP,‘ak of a division of stalwart
troopers for whom we have no barrack room. He would
not be far wrong ; but, ere he had lived long among u',
he would learn that the Elements iu which the danger of
explosion lurks are foreign to Belfast, and that the brains
and hands which let theca loose fur the destruction of
social and Protestant peace will never cause Ulster to
blush as the place of their birth. It may be that the
tumults will not be renevel for another month or so ;
but we dare not offer a longer lease of tranquillity,
knowing that, even if the anniversary celebrations of
the ensuing month were to be totally abandoned, some
expedient or other for creating fresh discord would be
sought and found, as was the case last Tear. Lord Naas
stated in the House of Commons on Fs iday night that
the Government had taken prompt rneasuras for the sup-
pression of the disturbances in Belfast. We presume
the solution of the promptitude to be the desaatohing of
a troop of Dragoons, lOocoastabulary, and three stipen-
diary magistrates to this town when the riots had ended.
This, with a vengeance, was' barring the door when the
but qeite of a piece with the activity
stolen,mugis't
racy,
o steed
o our
r waso w
to whom a most awkward cim-
pliment has been paid by the stipendiary reinforcement."

A 1L,1.Y011. AND HIS DEPUTIES IN DIFFICULTIES.
Mr. John IVPG"ran, the Mayor of Sligo, his
deputies and poll clerks—two each—who were con-
victed at the last assizes for conspiring together,
previous to the late election for the borough of
Sligo, to return Mr. johA Patrick Somers by a
fictitious majority, &c., subsequently raised an ob-
jection to the sentence, which has been decided
against them by the Court of Criminal Appeal.
The conviction being thus confirmed, the parties
are all now safely lodged in the gaol
duly surrender.:d within the ten days prescribed by
law, and they
of Sligo.
TILE IRISH IN ENGLAND.
The Banner of Ulster has the following remarks
upon the progress of Irishmen the English bar
g, There is a class of grumblers in Ireland, more nu-
merous than enlightened, who are never happy except
ri-
when most miserable, and when ingeniously torme
lugubnting
their countrymen into misery,
from dwelling
ously on the slights and insults that, (they say, but can-
not be believe) invariably await Iriali talent when trans
furred to England. -
Such people scarcely recognise even
Wellington as an Irishman, simply because he found
high favour and reward at the hands of Britain for over-
throwing the enemy a European liberty. The good
things of office, however, particularly in the legal pro-
fession, have, during recent times, been so liberally laid
at the feet of Irishmen, that the grumble has lost much
of its force and resonance among the habitually discon-
tented ; while those who are impartial enough to c nfess
that talent, integrity, and applicatioe must make their
way everywhere, are proud of the success which has of
late years marked the career of not a few of their coun-
trymen at the English bar. they feel—as every Irish-
man shou'd—honest gratification in seeing Baron Markin,
a county Derry man, one of the most. learned judges of
the English Court of Exchequer, and sir J.
Wines, a
native of the county of Waterford, a distinguished orna-
ment of the common law bench. Nor will they fail to
rejoice in the appointment of an eminent Cork man, Mr.
H ugh Hill, as successor to M
r.Justice Coleridge in the
English Queen's Bench. Belfast derives its full share
of honour from the elevation of one of her most gifted
sow, Sir Hugh M'Calaiont Cairns, to the dignity of
Solicitor-General. A still later appointment—that of
Mr. Blair, Q.C., to the responsible and onerous office of
Judge of the Liverpool County Court—we regard with
unmixed satisfaction as a tribute to legal knowledge of
a high order and unwearied industry. Mr. Blair, who
became one of the most popular leaders on the Northern
Circuit in England, is eldest son of the late Mr. James
Blair, of Wheatfield, a gentleman whose name and
worth will lone' be remembered in Belfast. The prede-
cessor of Mr. Blair in office—the late Mr. Joseph Pol-
lock, Q.C., himself a native of the county of Meath,
was of county Dewn extraction, his grandfather haring
been Assistant-Barrister for that county."

THE ROYAL FligE‘ HOSPITAL.

This hospital owes its peculiar designation to
the simple characteristic principle on which it
was originally:organised—of free admission to the
sick and needy, and no other passport for relief
being required but destitution and `disease, and
to that principle its committees have honestly
adhered—to the present period. The hospital--
since its institution, thirty years ago=has relieved
between 600,000 and 700,000 patients. Com-
mencing with very small means, it has, by the
exertions of its benevolent friends and supporters,
attained its present prominent position amongst
the institutions of the m3tropolis. The custom of
distributing small sums of money or , articles of
clothing to patients leaving the hospital for their
homes at distant places, has been attended by most
favourable results, and gives the hospital an addi-
tional claim upon the sympathies of the benevolent.
During the past year 897 in-patients and 42,00.8
out-patients have been treated, making a total of
42,905 cases relieved.
The 30th anniversary festival was celebrated last
evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's-inn, under moat favourable aus-
pices. Earl Powis presided. About 150 gentlemen
sat down to dinner, amongst whom we observed
Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, Mr. B. Bons-
field, M.P., Mr. Townsend Maunering, M.P., the
Rev. Drs. Bowles and Jacob, Mr. Brown (High
Sheriff-of Gloucester), Alderman Sheriff Lawrence,.
Mr. Pritchard (High Sheriff of Southwark), Mr.
S. C. Hall, Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Briuten, Dr. ars-
den, Mr. T. H. Wakley, &c.

The company partto.k of an excellent dinner,
And upon the removal of the cloth grace was sung
by the profes,ional gentlemen present, under the
direction of Mr. Edney and Mr. Young, assisted by
the Misses Wells, &c.
The health of her Majesty the Queen was drunk
with all the honours, and the usual loyal and pa-
triotic toasts were drunk in succession.

The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave the principal
toast of the evening, "Success to the Royal Free
Hospital." (Cheers.) The toast symbolised and set
fot th they object they were met to promote. There
had been lately put forth an idea that the multipli-
cation of these hospitals would injure the older
establishments, but he thought that a life of thirty
years showed they had attained secure groun I.
(Hear.) But this hospital was further deserving
of remark, as all acts of patronage were abolished in
'connection withit. (Cheers.)- If they tried that
syat by the test of success they must greatly
attribute to the excellency of their unpaid medical
staff. (Hear.) Under these circumstances they
must look forward to the continued success of the
Royal Free Hospital.
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.

The Rev. J. B. OwErr, chairmanlof the weekly
board, read the report, which entered into a variety
of interesting details connected with the benevolent
operation of the charity. The rev. gentleman con-
cluded by inviting the company to read the report,
to mark its facts, and judge for themselves.
(Cheers.)

• ,
The noble CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of
the founder, Dr. ' and eulogised the
gentleman who had originated the idea of a Free
_Hospital. He adverted to the report, as showing
the constant and assiduous attention which he de-
voted to theinterests of the charity.
Dr. MARSDEN returned thanks for the very
kind manner in which his name had been mentioned.
Thirty years ago the idea entered his bead, and
its subsequent development had resulted in the
establishment of that hospital—perfectly free froth
all patronage.. (Cheers) At that period, the ex-
isting institutions had admitted their patients for
300 years in one undo= manner. He argued
that, .in a country of such wealth, and, on the
other hand, of such destitution, it could re-
lieve its suffering masses in no other manner, and
on this founded an appeal
.to their increased
liberality. • -
The health of the medical staff was proposed,
and due honour was paid for their valuable services,
and the toast was cordially responded to.
Mr. WAKLEY returned thanks.

Amongst the subscriptions, announced were--
Earl Powis, 50/..; Miss Cross, 100/. ; Dr. Marsden,
20 guincas additional ; J. H. Crutchley, Big , 251. ;
