IRELAND.

THE EARL OF ST. GERMANS is expected to arrive on
the 10th of January to assume the Viceroyalty of Ireland.
THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—Their excellencies the Lord
Lieutenant and the Countess of Egiinton will hold an
address levee this day (Tuesday), and take their departure
to- morrow.

GALWAY COLLEGE.—Joseph O'Leary, Esq., barrister-
at-law, has been appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to the
Vice-Presidentship of the Galway College, vacated by the
resignation of Dr. O'Toole.
THE CASE OF MR. KIRWAN.—It is stated that a re-
prieve has been received by the keeper of the goal in
which Mr. Kirwan is confined, and that the capital sen-
tence will not be carried into effect.

MR. VINCENT SCULLY, the Ultramontane member for
Cork, it is reported, is to be the legal adviser at the
Castle. " Hurrah for the Pope and Dr. M'Hale." Vide
wild Irish cry at the last general election.

RAILWAY FROM ARMAGH TO CLONES.—This project
has been taken up with spirit and earnestness by the
citizens of Armagh. The meeting on Tuesday was large
and influential, and shares to the amount of £5,000
were subscribed for.

SANGUINARY AFFRAY.—A sanguinary affray took
place on Christmas-day, at Castledawson, Derry. It is
customary with the young men of that district to have fir-
ing matches on that sacresl anniversary. Accordingly, a
party, consisting of Protestants and Romanists, assembled
early in the afternoon, and fired at a mark for some time
with perfect good humour. Whisky, unhappily, formed a
material item in their refreshment, and as evening ap-
proached, many were obviously under its influence. A
dispute arose, hard words came to blows, and from these
to a regular pitched battle. The disputants were joined by
their immediate friends, and volley after volley was
speedily interchanged before the weaker gave way and fled.
The result was that five persons received dangerous gun-
shot wounds. Several of the rioters have been arrested.
