IRELAND-THE ELECTIONS.

KERRY.—The Knight of Kerry has, in an address sent
from London to the electors, stated, that it would be impossi-
ble for him, from the state of his health to be present at the
contest for the county. The Limerick Chronicle says—
" There is concentrated a formidable collection of troops in
and about Tralee, for the protection of the peace and voters,
at the election for the county of Kerry, on the 20th inst.—two
troops 4th Dragoon Guards ; two troops 7th Dragoon Guards;
four companies 37th Regiment; two companies 51st Light.
Infantry, from the Cork district, under Captains Flamank and
Hawley, 51st."
WATERFORD.---GLORIOUS NEWS !—Sir -R. Musgrave
has consented to be the associate of Mr. P. Power, in the re-
presentation of our county. Here is an arrangement that will
gladden the hearts of alll Every obstacle to the unanimous
election of those two estimable gentlemen must instantly give
way.—Waterford Chronicle.
QUEENS' COUNTY.—There is not the slightest doubt but
Monday and Tuesday will secure the return of Lalor and
Cassidy. —Leinster Independent.
CORK CITY.—Mr. Callaghan and his colleague had, at the
close of the election, from seven hundred to eight hundred
votes unpolled.
CLONMEL.—When Mr. Ronayrre was declared elected, it
is absolutely impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the peo-
ple. From the balcony, at Hearn's Hotel, assembled thou-
sands were addressed by Messrs. Sheil, Pennefather, &c. ;
bonfires were lighted through the town, and the greatest joy
prevails. Just now a party of dragoons, accompanied by
bludgeon-men, parade thq town. The people are quiet and
orderly, and laugh to scorn the faction over whom they have
triumphed.—Tipperary Fi ee Press.
COUNTY WEXFORD.—LORD LOFTUS.—It is with feelings of
unfeigned regret we this day announce that Lord Luftus will
not come forward as a candidate for the representation of this
county at the ensuing election.---Everting Mail.
MONAGHAN.—The public will read with disgust the pro-
ceedings at Monaghan. One good has been accomplished : it
has removed the mask from off the Westenras in that county.
We did not, our readers will recollect, advise this last contest.
We abstained from an opinion, as we feared that treachery had
been too successful. But that contest has unravelled the plot,
and has also exhibited another instance of the bloody propensi-
ties of Irish Orangemen, when secured in impunity by a Tory
Ministry. This business will not end here.—Pilot.

The two Houses of Parliament are nearly finished.
' The carpenters were yesterday employed laying down the re-
mainder of the benches, and the platform for the Throne in
the House of Peers, and for the Speaker's chair in the Com-
mons. The walls of the latter are lined throughout with
canvas, covered with varnished crimson paper, handsomely or-
namented. The paper of the House of Peers is a striped
pattern and has also a very elegant appearance. The stoves
for warming both with steam have been finished and tried, and
answer all the purposes intended, as do also the ventilators.
PRINCE AUGUSTUS OP PORTUGAL.—FAL-
MOUTH, JAN. 18.—We have just paid a visit to the Monarch
steam-ship, commanded by Captain Bain, which arrived here
yesterday morning from London. This splendid vessel, mea-
suring 206 feet long and 54 feet broad, 200 horse power, and
2,000 tons burden, is, we understand, employed to convey the
Prince Augustus of Portugal and suite from this port to Lis-
bon, and will sail with the Royal Squadron on the 21st. The
grand saloon, 33. feet long and 28 feet wide, is fitted up in the
most superb style. It is covered wtth a magnificent blue and
white Persian carpet, over which are suspended two richly
carved chandeliers. Splendid mirrors are appropriately ar-
ranged, bearing the crown of Portugal, and a fire stove of ele-
gant workmanship in the centre. The bedchamber of the
Prince is separated from the saloon by curtains of rich brocaded
blue satin, fringed with silver. The state couch, in imitation
of a sea cot, is covered with velvet of the same colour, broca-
ded with silver, and the dressing and sitting rooms are fur-
nished in the same elegant style. The apartments for the
accommodation of the suite display the same ornamental
finishing ; and a splendid band, under the direction of the able
Pead, gives an eclat to the whole highly honourable to_the

V
taste and liberality displayed on this happy event by Mr.
Mendizabal, who has judged wisely in selecting the expe-
rienced Captain Bain to convey his Royal Highness to Portugal.
The floor of Mr. Ronayne's committee-room gave
way on Monday evening. Several people, Mr. Ronayne
amongst the number, were precipitated to the floor underneath.
Providentially no serious accident occurred ; several were
slightly bruised.--Clonmel Herald.
MASQUERADE AT THE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
—The first masquerade for the season was given last night at
the English Opera-house. There was the usual quantum of
romps, Highlanders, Paul Prys, huntsmen, sailors, beggars.
butchers, and barristers ; but no character was well supported,
and the whole thing moved heavily along, and would have died
a natural death at an early hour, had not the maskers been
resuscitated at intervals by potations of Cape wine. The house
was tolerably well filled.
THE KING'S THEATRE.—The assignees of Mr.
Chambers have at length closed with M, Laporte, and on
terms which, althou-2,-11 highly favourable to the latter, are not.
likely to prove acceptable to the creditors of the estate. The
rent will be 80001. only, with the usual privilege of having
concerts, &c., to which the assignees had in the first instance
objected. The theatre cannot be opened till the first week in
March, so that the season will fall several nights short of the
customary number. M. Laporte's company will very strong,
he haring already engaged Lablache, Tamburini, Rubini,
Ivanhoff, Grisi, Taglioni, Duvernay, the Elslers, Perrot,
Albert (as ballet-master,) &c.—Evening Paper.—[We do
not see why the rent of 80001., which M. Laporte has engaged
to pay, should- not prove acceptable to the creditors of Mr.
Chambers's estate. It is a very proper amount of rent. Ex-
perience has by this time abundantly shown that no manager
can succeed in making both ends meet if he has to pay more.
All the difficulties in which most of the lessees of this theatre
have hitherto been involved, have arisen solely from the exor-
bitant rent they had been foolish enough to agree to. We
doubt whether the theatre could have been opened this year, if
it had not been taken by M. Laporte. The-creditors should
therefore rejoice at the prospect of getting 80001., which is
much better than keeping the theatre shut up, as would other-
wise have been the case this year.

THE LATE EARL OF PORTMORE.-.—The COlO-
- of the North Lincoln Militia becomes vacant by the
death of this Noble Peer, who was the fourth Earl of Port-
more, and Viscount Milsington, in the Peerage of Scotland.
His Lordship's Countess was Lady Mary Elizabeth Bertie,
only child of Brownlow, fifth and last Duke of Ancaster, by
which lady he had an only son, the Hon. Brovvnlow Charles
Colyear, who succeeded in the vast personal wealth of the
Duke of Ancestor, on his Grace's death in 1809: Mr. Colyear
unhappily died at Rome in 1819, from wounds received in an
encounter with banditti in Italy. Lord Portmore leaving no
issue, and his brother, the Hon. Colonel Colyear, having died
before him, his honours are extinct. He had two pensions on
the Civil List, the first dated April, 1835, 233/., and the se-
cond October, 1821, 2761

The Countess of Haddington has taken her depar-
ture from Berkeley-square, to join the Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland at Dublin Castle. The Noble Earl has not yet dimi-
nished his establishment at Tyningham, near Durham, North
Britain. The last time his Lordship was in office was when
he was Member for Rochester, as Lord Binning, at which pe-
riod he was one of the Commissioners for the Affairs of India.
The new private Secretary to his Lordship is Captain Hamil-
ton, R.N., one of his cousins.

MR. HILL —We are informed that a number of
ladies, zealous friends of. Mr. Hill, have commenced a sub-
scription to purchase a piece of plae, to be presented to him as
a token of their great respect for his talents and integrity. The
subscription has made a very gratifying progress.—Hull Ad-
vertiser.

MRS. HENIANs.---We regret to learn that this ex-
cellent lady and admirable poet is alarmingly ill in Dublin.
She has resided in that City several years, chiefly to obtain for
her sons the advantages of a College education at a rate more
within her limited means than could be procured either at Ox
ford or Cambridge.— The Watchman.

A report is current of an attempt to assassinate Ma-
dame Malibran in Italy, but whether by a professional rival,
or from a despairing amant is not stated. It is said that in
returning from the performance of Otello she was wounded by
a stilettoin the throat, in a manner to prevent her ever, again
exercising he; talents, if even her life be saved.—Galignani.

Some persons had the temerity to venture on the
ice yesterday in St. James's Park, though warned of the dan-
ger by persons employed for the purpose. The ice gave way
where two lads were amusing themselves, who with difficulty
were saved from being drowned.

The new Turkish Minister, Namick Pacha, will
not take his departure for Constantinople until the arrival of
his successor, Laliekin Pacha, who is not expected to arrive in
this country until the first week of February, as he will make a
short sojourn at Paris and Vienna.

COOKERY.—Dr. W. Philip, in his " Treatise on
Indigestion," gives the following opinion on the Art of Cook-
ery ; the pithy description is sufficient to excite the indignation
of M. Ude and o'her culinary artistes :—" Beyond a proper
degree of roasting and boiling," says the Doctor, " the art of
cookery is nothing but that of pleasing the palate at the ex-
pense of the stomach."

Napoleon had a French cook, who undertook to
dress a fowl for his Imperial Majesty's dinner in a different
manner every day, for a whole year. He fulfilled his promise,
and succeeded in gratifyingthe Emperor's palate in 365 Off'
ferent ways, every one of which was unexceptionable.

A curious gold. medal was discovered a short time
ago, by a labourer, who was excavating a part of the road, on
the Ashford line, near Tunford Bridge. It is one of the Ro-
man Emperors, and the obverse is a Roman head in relief,.
with an inscription, which is said to denote its being comme-
morative of Severus. The head is encircled with small gar-
nets, inlaid. It appears to have been worn as an ornament, as
a rudely chased suspender is attached to the top of it. This
piece of antiquity is now in the possession of Mr. Eastes, of
Canterbui y.—Kentish Paper.

Armi Bey and Aelimet Effendi, the Ottoman nobles
arrived at Batt's Hotel, Dover-Street, from Constantinople,
are understood to have been entrusted by the Sultan. on a mis-
sion to acquire the information which may enable him to esta-
blish a military School for the education anti improvement of
young officers, for Which' purpOse.they will visit Woolwich,
Sandhurst, Addiscombe, &c. They both hold high rank in
the Turkish army, and travelled through Germany and part of
France, on their way to'England.

FRENCH_ PAPERS.

PARIS, JAN. 19.—The French journal of Frankfort o
the 16th contains ihe following article :

It is .pretended. that M. fubecki, Envoy of the-Et-0,7
ror Nicholas, at this moment actively Kosedutinethe'
claim of the Czar, as Sovereign of Poiaild, to the amount,
it is said, of 200 millions.. It is said that the principle of
the claim is conceded, and that the only point in debate is
the amount, the greatness of which causes some demur.
It is with confidence that we.make the following obser-
vations, with the intention of guiding the public opinion :
The journals have said and repeated, without having
been hitherto-contradicted, that M. Lubecki had been sent
to Paris, in. consequence of a claim of the Emperor of
Russia, who acted in this affair as a pressing creditor. We
believe that we can affirm that his Imperial Majesty, at the
the moment of our writing, h ignorant, as well as every-
body else, whether the Russian Government is the creditor
or debtor .of France.

Far from arguing the arrangement of this affair, the
result of which depends on the examination of a multitude
of documents, we are assured that the Emperor Nicholas
did not think of entering upon it, when the French Go-
vernment thinking it had some claims to make itself, re-
quired that some person should be sent by Russia to Paris.
It was then, and upon this application of the French Mi-
nistry, that Prince Luhecki was intrusted with this mission.
The interests of many private persons, military and
others, are inplicated in this affair. Among them we ob-
serve the name of M. Lafitte. A liquidation is the more
necessary, as these affairs date from the year 1812 ; the
Government of Poland found that it had claims on its part
to oppose to the demands of France. Such is the state of
the affair. We see how the question has been misrepresented.

An affair to be examined at the desire of the French
Government transformed into an urgent demand of the
Russian Government, which has thus become an importu-
nate creditor without knowing it.
Prince Lubecki, sent to Paris at the solicitation of the
French Ministry, has been represented as an,agent sponta-
neously sent by Russia, which before it knew whether it was
a creditor or a debtor, is stated to have demanded two
hundred millions. Is this probable ?
In short, if France, which alone asked and demanded
this settlement, should prove to be a creditor, it will be
paid.; if it is a debtor it will doubtless pay the debt ; but
this cannot be known till after the verification of a vast
number of documents, which Prince Lubecki is now com-
missioned to examine conjointly with the French Ministers,
and at their express and re-iterated demand.
Such is the mission of Prince Lubecki, which the Paris
Journals have affected to represent in an odious light.
They might, and ought perhaps to have corrected public
opinion, which was deceived on. this point. They have not
thought fit to do so.

The Journal de Frankfort, which has been enabled by
chance to be thoroughly informed respecting this question,
does what others should have done, in not suffering the
truth to be any longer strangely disfigured.
We shall now look for the answer of the Ministry.—
