DUBLIN.

(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) •
The Irish Elections have ended in sporting style.
Whatever wavering there may have been at one period,
the end is glorious. Brady's victory at Newry, so
much beyond expectation, and the simultaneous suc-
cesses at Wexford, Meath, Louth, Mayo, Cork, and
Kerry, have crowned the hopes of the Reformers, and
struck dismay into the hearts of their enemies. It was
boasted, at the commencement of the contest, that
seventy Conservative candidates had taken the field—
and this was held forth as an argument of re-action.
But where are those seventy candidates now ? Twice
seventy thousand pounds have they expended in at-
tempts to corrupt the people ; but their money has
perished with them, and Ireland sends to the mighty
struggle which another month will see begun, and, in
all probability, ended, thirty-seven Tories—five men
who, though doubtful, are considered rather Whig
than Tory—and sixty-three determined, pledged, and
united foes of the Peel Administration. Of those
Tories, two will assuredly be unseated—l mean the
declared members for the City of Cork ; and if the
allegations contained in Mr. 'Wallace's letter and Mr.
O'Dwyer's statement can be established, as little doubt
remains of the dismissal of the two members for Car-
low County. Thus you see that Ireland has done her
duty, and unequivocally told the King her mind.
The following are the returns from the various Irish
counties, and their boroughs and cities :
Reformers. Tories. Doubtful.

- In all
If I have done injustice to Sir Robert Ferguson,
Mr. Westenra, and Mr. Martin, by classing thew
among the doubtfids, I shall be happy to atone for it.
On the balance of numbers with the last Parlia-
ment, the country has gained in the following places :---
Belfast, 1 ; Newry, 1 ; King's County, 1; Galway, 1
Waterford, 1. To counterbalance these gains, we have
lost Mr. Pat Lalor in the Queen's County ; Blackney,
Vigors, and Wallace, in Carlo* ; Talbot (a very sus-
picious person) in Athlone ; Callaghan, Baldwin, and,
Stawell, in 'Cork and Kinsale. A Tory has also been
added to the ranks from the doomed borough of Car-
rickfergus. This gives an advantage of FOUR to the
adverse faction ! But when it is considered how
greatly improved the popular representation is by tak-
ing such men into it as Wyse, O'Loughlen, Mus-
grave, O'Brien, Cave, Crawford, and M'Cance, and
leaving out O'Reilly, Gaiwey, Keane, Macnamara,
O'Callaghan, and Jacob, it must be acknowledged that
in moral power and influence we have now more actual
strength, than twice the mere numerical force we have
lost, could supply.

A FAIR TRIAL.

Oat of thine own mouth do I condemn thee."

Sir Robert• Peel, hold up your hand ! What, mute
par contunzace ! Are you ashamed of the capital T,
with which it is brand into the very bone ?

Nay, but you will say, that is an obsolete barbarism-
The world is now more just t::,an to go back " sixty
years since."—" To rake into the whole course of a
man's life," said the constitutional ..11:dge Jefferies,
"is very hard." No doubt he found it so. " Bah
parlez-moi d'Adam et d'Eve !" said the fair
Partizan
of Napoleon, when Walter Scott twitted her with the
murder of D'Enghien. Take me as I am. Judge
me by what I shall do from this day forth, and bury
the past in oblivion. This is due to candour !
Softly, softly, Sir Robert. You take great credit to
yourself for the reform of the Criminal Law ; and do
you not recollect the new principle which you intro-
duced into that ? Is not your's, by an emphasis of
ownership, that principle, akin to throwing water on a
drowning rat, which brings forward to the prejudice of
an arraigned culprit the record of a former conviction ?
Did not your hand, that branded hand, interpose the
plea of autrefois atteint betwixt the wretch and
mercy ? Surely, therefore, in the face of that damning
fact, you are the last man in this realm who shouia
cry out for what you call " a fair trial."—" With the
same measure that you mete withal, shall it be mew'
sured unto you again."
ESPERANCE.
