DUBLIN, JULY 11.—The Countess of Clarendon
left Dublin this morning by the eight o'clock train
for Kingston, whore her Majesty's packet Banshee
was in waiting to carry her Excellency and suite to
Holyhead. The Lord-Lieutenant leaves on Monday.
It is said that the present visit to England has no
connexion with political matters.

TILE HON. CECIL LAWLESS.
It is said the case of the Hon. Cecil Lawless
against Major Clarke, which was to have been tried
at the Skibbereen Sessions, has been settled. The
Cork Examiner of this day has a long communication
from Mr. Everett, the attorney cf Mr. Lawless, in
which is embodied the following curious epistle from
Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, in reply to one from
Mr. Lawless, requesting his Lordship's authority to
contradict an allegation of Major Clarke's, that his
wife bad eloped with Lord Frederick :
"St. James's Palace, June 26, 1850.
" grieves me that the brother of one of the
most respectable colonels in the army, and one of my
oldest friends, Shadwell Clarke, should have by his in-
temperance, placed himself in the position in which he
is now unfortunately situated. I was forced to advise
his leaving the service.
" It is a curious circumstance, I never had the honour
of being in the society of Mrs. Clarke without a third
person, and I believe the greatest number of times I ever
was in her quarters at Portsmouth was twice, if twice,
where Major Clarke was present.
" You have been most kind and Christian-like to a
person in great distress, and for which you and your
good lady deserve the greatest praise, and towards a lady
of whom I never heard the slightest blame, but on the
contrary, that herconduct was most kind to her husband,
who ill requited it.
" May I beg you will read this letter to Mrs. Clarke,
whom I do not trouble with a letter.
" I remain, Sir,your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) "FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE.
" P.S.—I think it as well to mention that I have a
most dreadful and wicked letter in my possession from
Major Clarke to my Aide-de -Camp, regarding poor Mrs.
Clarke, before they left Weymouth. It is the composition
of a madman. It refers mostly to her leaving him at
Weymouth.
" I never saw Mrs. Clarke in my life, except at Wey-
mouth, Portsmouth, and at Cowes, and there in the pre.
senee of my Brigade Major.
" The Hon. C. Lawless, Glandore House,
Rosscarbery, Ireland."

ing reply from Sir George Grey, to the memorial of
the corporation of Limerick, in reference to Mr. Smith
