INCREASE OF THE IRISH SQUAISRON.

The Vernon, 50, just returned to Portsmouth from Lisbon,
has received an order for sailing, at S. moment's notice, to
join the sqUadron of Admiral Bowles, at Cove. On Wednesday
the Vernon received a reinforcement of 120 marines. The
Portsmouth letter says—" this unexpected movement is
looked upon as connected with the judgment in the Irish
State trials."

It is stated that the Malabar, 72, is to proceed from Ply-
mouth direct for Cork, having, like the Vernon, taken in a
reinforcement of marines, to join the squadron of Admiral
Bowlei.' A detachment' of marines is also ordered from
Chatham for the same destination.—Freeznan's Jouinal.
