IRELAND.
DEPARTURE OF LORD DE GREY.

DUALLY, JULY 16.—Lord De Grey took his departure from
Ireland this morning. His Excellency was accompanied
from the Castle to the railway terminus at Westland-row by
the members of the Vice-Regal Household, and a few of the
officials, including the Master of the Rolls, Mr. Brewster the
Castle adviser, and the Commissioners of the Metropolitan
Police. On all former occasions of the kind the Irish gentry
considered it incumbent on them to attend the representative
of the Sovereign during his progress through the streets of
the metropolis •, but on this occasion his Excellency snugly
esconsed himself in a close carriage, and in doing so exercised
a wise discretion, if one may be permitted to judge from the
groans, " both loud and deep," with which he was assailed
along the whole line of march to Westland-row, which his
Excellency reached at a quarter-past eleven, and where a
special train was in readiness to receive him. At half-past
eleven the train reached Kingston, and his Excellency, after
receiving the salutes of the Guard of Honour, consisting of a
company of the sth Fusiliers and a company of Royal Ma-
rines, immediately embarked for Liverpool. An attempt was
made to, get up a cheer as the vessel left the pier, but there
never was a more signal failure, until some of the knowing
ones in the Vice-Regal train called for " three cheers for
Dan," and then indeed Lord De Grey was made acquainted
with the strength of Irish lungs; his Excellency thinking of
course that the honour was intended for himself, appeared
extremely gratified, and repeatedly bowed his acknowledg-
ments, and thus terminated.the reign of De Grey in Ireland.
