DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
THE IRISII COURT.

Lord Eglinton held his first levee for the season
yesterday afternoon. The attendance, though' re-
spectable, was not as numerous as it was expected
to be, the falling off, perhaps, being ascribable to
the inclement state of the weather in the earlier
part of the dad•. Amends, however, are anticipated
to-night, when the Countess will preside, for the
first time, at the drawing-room. Meanwhile the
publication of the Cornwallis correspondence has
furnished the Irish Court Abolitionists with fresh
weapons of attack, and one northern journal, the
Be?fast Mercury, alluding to the astounding revela-
tions brought to light in the correspondence,
observes : _

purchase, vice Batcheler, promoted.
Rifle Brigade—William Caradec Smith, Gent., to be En •
sign, by purchase, vice Richards, promoted„
3d West India Regiment—Lieutenant James Bligh Scott
has been permitted to retire from the service by the sale
of his commission.
STAFF.—Brevet-Colonel John S. Brownrigg, C. 8., upon
half-pay as Lieutenant-Colonel, Unattached, to be 1)c-
-puty•Adjutant-General to the Forces serving in Ireland,
vice \V ood, who resigns that appointment ; Brevet-
Colonel Edward Robert Wetherall, C. 8., upon half-pay
as Major Unattached, to be Deputy Quartermaster-Gene-
ral to the Forces serving in Ireland, vice Brownrigg.
DIIPOT BATTALION.—Brevet-Lieutenant-Colonel Charles
Lavallin Nugent, from the 58th Foot, to be Major, vice
Hood, who exchanges.
UNATTACHED.—Captain the Hon. W. L. Talbot, from the
21st Foot, to be Major, by purchase.
HOSPITAL STAFF. Assistant-Surgeon Donald Sinclair
Smith, from the 6th Dragoons, to be Surgeon, vice
Clarke, deceased.

We do not say that similar corruption prevails at Dub-
lin asticto-day. But why ? Simply because the same oppor-
tunities do not exist. If every Lord-Lieutenant had been
as unreserved in his correspondence as Lord Cornwallis,
and we now had their minds before us as have his, who
cm doubt. that the intense loathing ho expresses would be
reflected by them, though in a degree modified by the more
favourable circumstances in which they were placed ? In-
trigue, and jobbing, and corruption constitute a vice in-
herent in the whole Viceregal system. It is the oil which
lubricates the machine, and without it the Government of
Dublin Castle would be powerless. We pray, therefore,
that the nuisance nn:y be abat.d forthwith—abated in the
only way such a nuisance can be dealt with—by total abo-
lition."

REVISION OF THE IRISH 'MAGISTRACY.
The subjoined important circular has been ad-
dressed by the Lord Chancellor (Napier) to the
several lieutenants of Irish counties :
" Four Courts, Dublin, Jan. 20.
44My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose herewith a
copy of the general list of the magistrates of your county, as
it is at present recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the
Hanaper, and introduced in all new commissions. Oa exa-
mination of this list it may be found that valid reasons
exist for a revision of it in reference to some whose names
arc therein inserted; and I have to reque‘st, with that view,
such information as your local knowledge may enable you
to supply.
" Some of these gentlemen are perhaps no longer living,
but the occurrence of whose deaths has not been made
known to the Clerk of the Hanaper : changes of times and
the sale of estates may have so affected others as to render
it no longer desirable that they should retain the commis-
sion ; others may have ceased to reside in the county ; and
some who had been placed in the commission only from
necessity, by reason of their holding important agencies,
may no longer possess that qualification, and may be with-
out any other (in connexion with the county) which would
of itself have justified their appointment; while others may
have become disqualified by acceptance of subordinate
situations incompatible with their holding the magisterial
office. Other instances of equal force may, perliop,!,
occur to you, in respect to which you may think such
Rion would be desirable, and which you will be good enough
to notice in your reply to this communication.
obedient
" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your very
faithful servant,
" JOSEPH NAPIER) ,
