was instantly responded to by his brother Orangemen in the
gallery, who continued their applause by clapping their
hands to the chorus of " tent boys." Three
cheers *ere neat given for " Protestant ascendancy."
Three cheers were next given for " the Orangemen of Ire-
land, and " the Newtowabarry Yeomanry." Captain Cot.
tingham came into the Court House about 11 o'clock, and
was received with loud applause. Mr. Henehy, Mr. Gre-
gory, ex-Secretary, and other individuak on the Bench,
produced oranges and waved them over their heads amid
enthusiastic cheers from the boxes.

Mr. Marcus Costelloe came into the court about 12 o'clock,
and said that a new candidate was about being proposed.—
(Loud groans, hisses, and cheers from the galleries.)
Mr. Abbott, the Assessor, then came forward, and said,
that the booths would continue open until five o'clock, and
that due regula, ions should be made to give the voters access
to the poll. He wished to know from Mr. Costelloe who
was going to be proposed as a candidate ?
Mr. Thomas Reynolds, as a fifty-pound freeholder,
came forward to propose Mr. Costello., He said—Electors
of the city of Dublin, freemen and freeholders, I appeal to
you, and I solicit from your indulgence, as Irishmen, that,
courtesy which you should claim for yourselves, and which
I hope you will extend to others, (Hear.) Rlectors of the
city of Dublin, I rise for the purpose of proposing to you as
a candidate, a person who is a bold repealer of the Union,
honest Marcus Costello. (Cheers, groans, hisses, and con.
tinued tumult.)
Mr. Sheriffs, I now propose to you, as a fit and proper
person to Represent this city in Parliament, Marcus Costelloe,
Esq. barrister at law—(Loud cheers and hisses.)
Timothy Skelly seconded the nomination.
Mr. Sheriff Halahan then put Mr. Costelloe in nomination.
The polling had not continued for more than an hour when
it was apparent that a sufficient number to keep the booths
open could not be procured. Up to five o'clock, however,
twent.eight had polled for Mr. Costelloe, and he then in.
sis.ed that the election should be kept open, even though a
sufficient number had nut voted in any particular booth.
This objection was overruled by the assessor, and it was de-
cided that after five o'clock the election must terminate.

Shortly after six o'clock Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlen, with
Mr. Latouche, accompanied by several friends, entered the
court-house, and were received with enthusiastic acclama-
tions. In a few minutes after blr. Marcus Costelkie also
appeared on the hustings,and was received with loud cheer-
ing ; and immediately the High Sheriffs, the Assessor, with
the Recorder and Lord Ingestrie, appeared ; the latter were
instantly assailed with tremendous booting and groans.
Mr. Sheriff Halahan then came forward and announced the
state of the poll, as follow :
The Recorder .. 1292 I Mr. Latouthe .. 1052
Lord Ingestrie ... 1250 I Sergeant O'Loghlen 937
Mr. Costello, ... 28
. _

Ile then added—l, therefore, declare the Recorder, Mr.
Frederick Shaw, and Lord Viscount Ingesuie, duly elected
to represent this cityin Parliament. (Hisses, and cries of No.)
The Recorder and Lord Ingestrie attempted to speak,
but were completely inaudible from the dreadful hissing
and clamour of the people.
Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlen then presented himself, and
said—Gentlemen, the Sheriffs have declared the recorder and
Viscount Ingestrie duly elected as your representatives ; I
deny that they are duly elected. They have, I admit, a ma-
jority on the Sheriffs' books, and those gentlemen only per-
formed theirduty in what they have done. (flies of No.) But,
gentlemen, there is another tribunal to which we can appeal
—(cheers)—and I tell them Dow, that perhaps before ti e
one hundred and twenty.seven prisoners now immured in
Newgate foe the convenience of the recorder, are tried, that
judge and his colleague may be unseated, and you called on
again to exercise your right. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen,
of the manner. and the means by which their majority has
been procured, I will not speak here. This is not the time
nor the =solo* on which they can be properly exposed. I
have declared frequently during the progress of the election
my opinion of the foonduct pursued by the sheriffs and
those appointed by them--(groans, and cries of " ha.")—
for I am not the man when wronged to submit to it
in silence. (Long and tremendous cheering.) Their conduct
shall be brought before another tribunal, and they may defend
It there if they can. (Cheers.) We have bad to-day another
candidate; and allow me to 'say, that I declined the poll
yesterday, not because 1 would wake no sacrifice, but be.
cause I found we could not overtake our opponents on the
poll, without resorting to sacrifices which I could not ap-
prove of. (Loud cheers.) Bs assured we did not do it
hastily; our opinions were founded on the experience of past
elections • we deliberately weighed the circumstances In which
we were placed, indicted on the facts before us. ( Hese, bear.)
I would not have declined the poll, if I did not, in my con-
science, believe that it was our duty to do so, and to take
the decision of another tribunal upon the case. (Cheers.)
Mr. Latouche then came forward amid loud cheers, and
said, I have but little to address you upon ; I have no feel-
ings but those the Learned Sergeant has so eloquently ex-
pressed. I came forward as a candidate on this occasion from
no desire of personal aggrandisement—from no feeling of
ambition—(hear. and cheers)—but from a desire for the
welfare of my native city—(loudcheen)—and it is from the
same anxiety for the good of Dublin that I now retire.—
(Cheers.) I have declined the poll, because I found that it
was only by sacrifices that I could not bring myself to
make, that we could overtake their majority.
Mr. M. Costelloe next proceeded to address the assem-
bly in an animated and very powerful speech, in which he
dwelt on the unparalleled support he had received at a few
hours' notice from the independent freeholders, and declared
that not only nine out of every ten of the Common Council
of the corporation, but ninety-nine out of every hundred of
the freemen of the city were friendly to a repeal of the
Union, and would soon be found giving their support to
candidates who would advocate it in parliament. He pro.
needed to comment on the indecency of a judge, like the
Recorder, attempting to be a representative in parliament,
and of a stranger, like Lord Ingestrie, mocking ihe pea
pie of Dublin by presenting himself to their suffrages.
The Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, the Right
Hon. Henry Joy, one of his Majesty's Privy COundllors in
Ireland, appeared at the hustings on Tuesday, and voted for
his brother Judge and Lord Ingestrie.
The troop of Dragoons stationed here for some tone put
marched to New Ross on Monday morning. Horse sol-
diers were not stationed in Kilkenny for several years past,
until the hurling meetings, and subsequently the more or-
derly but determined opposition to tithes, made our rulers
deem a force of this kind necessary in the county. The un-
willingness to pay the odious tribute continues unabated.—

A person who was distinguished as a government witness,
during the state prosecutions in 1798, has been lately cep.
pointed a captain of yeomanry.
We regret having to notice' a foolish and wicked act,
perpetrated at Dunmore on Sunday night. A stack of corn,
on the property of the Marquis of Onnonde, was burned,
because in cutting it down, scythes, instead of sickles, had
been made use of.—Kilkenny Journal.
111u.rixotass, Ano. 17.—:bout a mile front this town,
la a place called Kihnunay, there has been • dispute about
a watercourse: one party is Protestant, the other Roman Ca-
tholic ; both ponies, however, agreed to leave the matter to
mistti"mtes, both n•ighbottni. These gentlemen attended
last week, and their decision was, that the course should be
opened; and as that seemed objectionable to the Protestant,
they marked a place where the inconvenience would be
obviated, by making out a new course which would wont-
modate all panics having done this; and Junin* this course
ilinstantly to be made, both magistrates tetired. What was
the consequence? This Protestant, who is a yeoman, went
in for his gun, and but for his wife, and some other interfe-
rence, would, to all appearance, have fired upon the people
at work.

In the Court of Chancelly; the other day, a mo-
tion was made to relax the rigour of a rule of Court,
the strict observance of which would, it was stated,
be attended with ruinous-expense. A bill had been
filed, in behalf of an infant, against the executors
of his father, a mercantile man ; and in strictness,
the rule above alluded to would require the whole
of the father's books to be transcribed into 'the an-
swer, which would extend it to the nuMber of nine
hundred thousand folio sheets, and require tin pay-
ment of 30,0001. in stamp duties! The Lord'thaii-
cellar granted the motion, allowing extracts only to
be sufficient.
