IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 9.—The College election took place here yeste.34
day, and a more disgraceful seine never polluted a " seat of learn—
ing." I cannot characterize it
,in stronger terms of disgust than.
by stating that it surpassed every former electioneering exhibition
within the precincts of the Irish Thiiversity, in the spirit of gross-,
bigotry which pervaded it—in the voci:eration and turbulence—in
the display of rancorous party feeling and brutal opposition to tho
expression of liberal sentiment, which persevered for upwards of
four hours to convert the venerable Examinath,^n Hall of the Irish
" alma mater" into a downright bear-garden. iilessrs. Shaw and
Lefroy were ultimately declared duly elected, but, I think,
illegally.
CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION.-Mr. George Alexander Ha.
milton has yielded to the solicitations of the Dublin Conservatives.
and consented to come forward in conjunction with West. Iles
very specifically, however, declined doing so "on his own ac—
count !" His address is ludicrous in the extreme. He COl3eS for—
ward, he says, as the opponent of " O'Connell and O'Coinvell's
principles." The Tories exult in anticipation upon the "-s--aut
number" of Reformers who, they say, will be disqualified to vote,.
in consequence of not having paid up their arrears of taxes; bat
they will find themselves much mistaken.

DusrdN CO U NTY. —Colonel Thomas White has resigned r
The determined opposition of every member of his family most
probably led to this step. Mr. Hamilton of Sheephill will,
rather think, be the only Conservative candidate. A Mr. Taylot
(a relation of Lord Headford) is spoken of, but there is
now little doubt that the two Reform candidates will be re.
turned.

MONAGHAN COUNTY.—The deputation from the Monaghan
Liberal Club proceeded yesterday (Friday) to Belfast, for the pur-
pose of requesting Mr. Robert J. Tennent—who stood at the last
election in that town in opposition to his apostate namesake—to
come forward as a candidate for the representation of Monaghaa
county. Mr. Tennant will accept the offer, and be successful.
KERRY.—lntelligence of an unexceptionable nature has reache.l
tow;i, which leaves very little doubt that Mr. M. J. O'Connell
will succeed for this county, and Mr. Maurice 0 Connell for the
borough of Tralee.
COUNTY LOUTH.—The electioneering affairs of this county hay:
undergone a complete change, for which the quidnunes were quite
unprepared; a change, however, which is not in the least degre.:
prejudicial to the cause of reform. Sir Patrick Bellew retires, and
Skeffington Foster has plucked up a spirit to present himself once
more to the electors, although it was formally announced that he
had resigned in favour of the Count de Sails. Both these sprigs
of Conservatism have addressed the electors. They will be most
gloriously beaten. Sir Patrick Bellew declines the contest, solely
because he eschews the turmoil of public life, and thinks it suffi-
cient to have one member of the family representing the county
in Parliament. Mr. Leader has acceded to the wishes of the in-
dependent electors, and will come forward together with Mr. Mon-
tesquieu Bellew.
DesznALK.—Mr. Sharman Crawford will be returned for this
borough, most probably without a contest. Mr. Holyoake Good-
riche retires. His Tory organ announces that this gentleman is
quite sure of being returned for Stafford.
DitooliEnA.—Mr. Carew O'Dwyer has secured three-fourths
of the constituency.
CLARE.—Dr. M'Mahen, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
county,
lee, has addressed an excellent letter to the clergy this

in which diocese is situated, exhorting them to lecture their
locks iv the most earnest manner upon the crime of receiving a
bribe and the proper use of the elective franchise. The voice of
the priest with the Irish Catholic will, generally speaking, outwelgn
the, most profuse expenditure of Conservative gold.
ARMAGH (Cirv)—The election here takes piaci) to-morrow
<Saturday). Dobbin and reform are secure.
COUNTY ANT::I3I.—Mr. Crombie has been mcntioted in oppo-
sition to one of the late members.—Newry Telegreph.
NEWRY. —Bribery and intimidation can alone defeat Mr. Brady,
the Liberal candidate. These corrupt agcne have been bat too
successful heretofore. Sir Thomas StP:kile's prospect, however,
appears to be turning "blue." His or-on (The Newry Telegraph)
received this day, states, in an rtvions desponding tone, that "the
friends of Sir 'l'. Staples srwnik very confidently of his success."
WATER FORD (COUNT,,)—Sir Richard Keane (one of the late
members) has retired, amidst universal regret, in consequence of a
domestic calamity. Messrs. Power and Galwey (two Reformers)
sill be infallibly -.chimed.
KILKENNY (COUNTY).—A Mr. Flood comes forward in the
place of Y.ajor Bryan, to contest this county with the Liberals.
The bor.es of Mr. Flood's friends are, however (I have the best
reason to knew), exceedingly weak. He has no chance against
Final and Butler.

LIMERICK ( erry).—The canvass of the Messrs. Roche has
'peen completely successful. It is highly probable that the Tories
will withdraw their opposition altogether. In consequence of an
error in the writ, the election cannot take place so soon as expected.
CORK.—The Anti-Tories of Cork have subscribed 1,5001. for
electioneering purposes.
Kixo's Coeyry.,-Mr. R. Fitzsimon, it is understood, has ac-
ceded to the request of the Reformers, and returned to the contest,
which he declined a day or two since.
The Anti-Tory Association met this day. Several gentlemen
addressed, the meeting upon the subject of .the ensuing election in
this city, and, while they disclaimed the idea of a possible defeat,
impressed upon the electors the propriety of following the example
of the London Reformers, and making the majority over the Tory
candidates as large as pcssible.
fr. 31A Rees COSTELLO objected, with considerable strength
and efficiency against the legality of the return made yesterday by
tthe Provost of Trinity College, and stated that the result of a
consultation which he had had with with several lawyers of emi-
nence was, t hat the Tories returned would be ousted upon a petition.
Several high enlogiums were passed upon Sir. Pollock, for the
spirited stanet which he made for the freedom of the Collage.
Sir. HENRY GRATTAN announced that his return, together with
his liberal colleague, for Meath, was safe. Mr. O'Connell and he
addressed the electors in various towns throughout the enmity on
the two preceding days.—Mr. Grattan continued for a considerable
period to address the meeting in an eloquent strain upon the subject
of the ensuing elections.
FIVE o'Ceocx.—The Hon. Sidney Herbert has been appointed
by the Lord Lieutenant to the office of Secretary of the Board of
Control. Sir Henry Hardinge (the new Secretary) is expected to
arrive at the Castle to-morrow.
