IRELAND.

The debate on Tuesday night was continued for four hours
longer than on the night preceding, and in the end there was a
division of 548 Members, which exceeded by 33 the numerical
strength of the House in 1812—the period, we believe, of the
greatest muster of votes that ever, until the present- time, took
place on this question. The cast (for it was, after all, a cast)
was against the Catholics. There were two or three voters
(Daly, Kavanagh, and, it is said, Talbot) detained in Dublin by
sickness or something else. The decisions upon election petitions
threw out three or four more. So that accident had its share in
giving the enemy the majority of four, in which he triumphs,
and of which we will admit he has, in the 27th year of the 19th
century, a right to be boastful.—Dublin Morning Register.
The Catholics seem to be more than half threatened with the
application of Cromwell's recipe for the settlement of a kingdom.
One of their friends avows that prosecution is proper to be admi-
nistered to the " demagogues ;" and one of their foes more than
hints that , a proscription of the whole people would be attended
with ultimate advantage to the empire. Mr. Canning, to be
sure, declares that he will not be one of the persons to sanction
the butchering of a whole people for asserting the rights of hu-
man nature. Butchering or no butchering, the Catholic voice
shall not be silenced. Meeting the first goes on on Monday, and
we trust that, before a great lapse of time, we shall have- tidings
to relate of meeting the five hundreth.—lbid.
Upon two things, we collect, that all Catholics in this part of
Ireland are nearly unanimous—the expediency of making a direct I
appeal to the royal and illustrious personage who pronounced the
" patting injunction," so feelingly alluded to by Sir Francis Bur-
dett, and' of forwarding another series of petitions, contradictory
of the hell-born falsehoods, if of nothing else, upon which we are
to suppose that the decision of Tuesday night was partly founded,
As to the provinces, they will not, we presume, be slow in in-
dicating their opinion as to what is proper to be done in the present
state of our unhappy
The unfortunate state of cur social condition in Ireland could
scarcely he paralleled in the darker ages. The churches and chapels
in the metropolis, and ever a considerable part of the country, are
covered with placards of controversial sermons, exciting political
and sectarian exasperation, while the most extreme poverty and
contagion continue their frightful and heart-rending ravages.—
Dublin Patriot.
A Gentleman was arrested on a fiat in a house in Dame-street,
last Monday, upon a very aggravated case of breach of promise of
marriage to a highly respectable young lady in Galway. The de-
fendant is rich, and was on his way to France. The affair is
likely to give the gentlemen of the long robe something to do at
the Summer Assizes.—.bid.
