IRELAND.

His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, has been pleased to
grant the suns of £lO per annum to the widow of sub-constable
Wright, who was so barbarously murdered at Tonilarney. An
act of this kind is eminently calculated to inspire the police
with determination in discharge of their ducies.—..Werford
Paper.
The Evenirw. Packet says that •Sir Charles Coote's carriage;
was attacked in Maryborough, on Saturday, by a mob, who
smashed itto Atoms, set Le 'horses running wild through:
the country. Sir Uharles himself escaped uninjured.
It is still confidently asserted that. the Duke of Richmond will
proceed to Ireland early in the spring, to replace the Marquis
of Anglesea. The health of the pre.tent noble viceroy is under-
stood to be extremely delicate-- and unequal to the duties of his
high office. The Duke of Richmond is closely allied to Lord
Anglesea, hrs Duchess being the eldest daughter of the Marquis,
by his first marriage. with the present Duchess of Argyll.—,
liriyhton Paper.
• REDUCTION op laisit BISHOPS.-We have been assured, in:
a quarter likely to be well informed on the subject, that the.
ministerial plan of church reform contemplates the abolition of
two 11-LI archbishoprics,' and the reduction of the rev hues of
the remaining, two to 6,(X)01. a year each; and that it is
tended. to abolish eight Irish bishopricks, and to limit the rove-.
noes of the remaining bishops to 4,0001. a year each.—Freeharnal.

Amongst the stratagems adopted by the repealist mobs, to
prevent their opponents arriving at the hustings, a consider;
able body of theca turned the turnpike keeper and his family
out of their house, at Castletown, near Mountrath, and placing
a chain and padlock on the gate, kept it closed Against all they
did not like, till a party of military and police, who were giving
sate conduct to Mr. White, of Charleville, and two other gen-
tiemen, to Maryborough, forced a passage and broke the gate.

Ttie " MOUVEMENT."—W call the attention of the
authorities to the • following, which we extract from the Irish,
correspondence of the Times, of last Tuesday morning:—" Mr.
Fagan, in proposing (to a seditious society in Dubin) four pri-
vates f the 88th regiment, said nothing could contribute more
to the regeneration of Ireland, or the repeal of the Union, than
the addition and introduction of new members, such as those,
to their already innumerable union. (Cheers.) They had to
fight hard for emancipation, harder for reform, and they would
hate to fight harder still for repeal; but, assisted by such menus
he now proposed, there was pro deurgei-but.that they would at lust
gain it triamphantly."—if this be not sedition, it is something
very like it. The four' men, we take it for granted, will be at
once drafted into some,condemned regiment.

ATTEMPT TO BURN LADY BELLVNGHAM'S,RESIDENCE AT
CASTLE BKLLINGIIAM.—SUUdaV morning, between 1 and .
o'clock, a diabolical attempt was.made to set fire to the castle,
at Castle Bellingham, by placing lighted turf at the hall-door,
which was providentially discovered in time, by the smell it pro'
duced, to prevent the fatal catastrophe,, A reward amounting.
to 4001., to which persons of ranks have contributed, has been
offered for the detection of the incendiaries, who,, it is hoped,
will not long remain at large.—Drogheda Journal.

tack making on some unhappy persons. He interfered, and
said he would go for the police, who' were about a mile distant,
which as soon as he attempted to do he was immediately folloW'

for the second time, and his windc,:s broken, The police,' all
receiving information of the attack, went in pursuit of the di',"
