IRELAND.

SEVEN IRISH BARRISTERS and families are about to
emigrate to Australia.
TUE PRIMACY.—It is said that the Primate (Arch-
bishop of Armagh) is positively to resign, to be succeeded
by the Bishop of Ossory, whose see will be conferred on
the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan.
THE WEATHER.—There is no abatement in the severity
of the weather. The rain keeps pouring dcwn in a cease-
less torrent, and on Friday night, by way of addition, a
heavy gale sprung up from the south-east, which, as
morning advanced, grew into a hurricane.
THE SIXMILE BRIDGE AFFAIR.—In the case of the
Sixmile bridge verdict, the Court has deferred its judg-
ment. without naming any particular day. In the event
of the Court being equally divided in opinion the effect
would be tantamount to a defeat of the motion.
IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.—There has latterly been
very steady improvement in the trade between Dublin and
Liverpool, the exports from Ireland being cattle, provi-
sions, gcc., and the imports manufactured goods. The
receipts at the Dublin Custom•house, last month, are 25
per cent. over those of last year.

REPRESENTATION OF CARLOW, COUNTY.—III Com-
pliance with a requisition from the Conservative gentry,
Mr. Henry Bruen, son of the late member, has consented
to be put in nomination for the representation of his na-
tive county. It is said that the Hon. Mr. Ponsonby,
brother of the Earl of Bessborough, will contest the
county on the Whig interest.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Wednesday evening a
woman named Mary Ryan, whilst throwing something
from a three pair window in John-street, overreached
herself and fell out. The height from which she fell must
have been at least forty feet. She escaped with a simple
dislocation of one of her legs. A policeman informed us
that the first words she uttered on being raised up were—
" Is my pipe broke ?"—Waterford Mail.
SHIPWRECKS OFF THE COAST.—During the past week
the weather has been exceedingly severe along the coast
of Ireland, and it has not been without considerable disas-
trous effects upon the'shipping. On Friday, four smacks
went down close to the wall near "the Pigeon-house,"
Dublin, and much damage was caused to other small craft.
The mail boat Prince Arthur had a severe struggle
the same afternoon to reach Dublin from Holy-
head. Her deck was several times submerged, but
she succeeded in weathering' the storm gallantly. On
Thursday, the schooner William Pitt, of Dublin, from
Whiteheven, struck on a reef of rocks off Clogher- head,
Drogheda, and went down. The crew was saved, but the
vessel became a total wreck. On the same day, the
officers of the coast guard perceived a large three-masted
vessel, barque-rigged, labouring in the fury of the sea.
northward of the Skerries, and endeavouring to avoid the
coast on her lee. The crew. stripped naked on her deck,
made almost superhuman efforts, but she struck in a small
bay between Bettystown and Clogher-head, and all hands
perished with the exception of the captain and a boy.
She was a Swedish vessel, laden with sugar, rum, tobacco,
and general cargo, bound for Liverpool. By the storm,
which had somewhat abated on Saturday, the pier at
Kingstown was washed away, and other disasters occa-
sioned.
