KINSALE.-Mr. W. U. Watson, the notorious pro-
moter of the pretended " Roman Catholic Relief Bill,"
has been ejected from the representation of this borough
by Mr. Gurness, a Conservative. At the close the num-
bers were--Gurness 104, Wakon 86.

ENNIS.-Mr. O'GorMan Mahon was, on Tuesday,
elected for the borough of Ennis without opposition. The
honourable gentleman is regarded as a Young Irelander
and a sworn enemy to the O'Connells, whose recent at-
tacks upon him he will answer in the House of Commons.
Now that Mr. D'lsraeli is safe for Buckinghamshire,
he states that " he has not renounced the opinions he ex-
pressed in Parliament upon the s

of an electioneering howl. He will wait the course of
events."

ELECTION PURlTY.—During the Hull election, a man
named Thos. Airy went to the Porter-street committee-
room, and tendered a vote for Mr. Clay._ The usual oath

was administered to him, and he stated his name as Bee-
croft, but one of the gentlemen in the room knew both
Mr. Beecroft and the man himself. He was of course
taken into custody.

Mr. D'lsraeli stated very emphatically at the Bucking-
hamshire election that he would offer " no factious oppo-
sition to the present government," and added that as long
as he found them pursuing a constitutional course, "he
would give the government not only an impartial hearing,

THE PROTECTIONISTS LOOKING Our.-At the Buck-
inghamshire election, on Wednesday, Mr. D'leraeli, on
returning thanks, said, that " though his opinions had
not undergone any change, he hoped to be prepared at
the right moment, if the country required remedial mea-
sures, to propose such measures as might have a remedial
effect." Again, in speaking of sanatory reform, he said
that he could not support the bill of Lord Morpeth of last
session, but, he added, " I promise that if in the turning
of the wheel we should be called on to put popular prin-
ciples into practice, we shall bring forward a bill which
shall not be ashamed to meet in comparison with the bill
