IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Friday, Jan. 11.
Up to the present day 28 members of Parliament have sent
in their adhesion to the National-Council scheme, and promised
to attend it here on the 18th instant. One more, David. Roche,
of Limerick, approves, and will attend if he can. .A few more
Repealers yet remain, whose answers have not arrives'. James
Grattan, one of the seven who met at the National Council of
last year, writes from London that circumstances will not permit
him to be present at this. In the mean time the system of in.
timidation is each day becoming more and more prevalent
amongst both Repealers and Conservatives. The Evening
Mail and the Conservative Society threaten to hold up to odium
and nonintercourse all Protestants who did not tote for Sir
George Rich and West in the metropolis; on the other side, the
Brabazonites in the county Mayo have posted through the
county, and published.in th 6 Castlebar Telegraph, the names of
all who.voted for and against the Repeal candidate, accompanied
by an address two columns long to alLthe inhabitants from the
County Independent Club, exhorting them by all that is dear to
them to adopt the system of exclusive dealing against the
Brownites, or Anti-repealers.— Times Correspondent.

DUBLIN, SUNpAY, Jan. 13.—As the proceedings of the new
Volunteer Society. appear to be regarded with some interest at
your side of the water, I think it well to give you the earliest
notice of them. A meeting of this Society was held yesterday,
at the Corn Exchange, when Mr. O'Connell described at great
length his views and objects as regards this political confe-
deracy. From the epitome of his speech which I subjoin, you
will perceive that every individual who pays a shilling subscrip-
tion is thereby created "a Volunteer" in his own.parish, and
that one of the duties he has to discharge is to aid in the sup-
pression of Whiteboyism and other lawless .systems of outrage.
—ln pursuance of a notice which he had given upon a former
day, Mr. O'Connell moved for the general organization of the
Volunteers throughout Ireland, to superintend the collection of
the national rent. The rent was required as the means of
giving to the people the hope of obtaining legal redress.—
Correspondent bf the Globe.
.BELTURBET, Jan. 7.—We regret to say that cholera has at
length made its appearance here. The first case which Pro-
vidence pleased to visit was that of Dr. Reilly, a very skilful
and experienced practitioner, but whose constitution was im-
paired by infirmity, and who, it is supposed, contracted the_
disease in one of the islands of Lough Erne the day preceding,
while in the discharge of his professional duties. Since then
there have been several other cases, all of which have proved
fatal.

The cholera has again visited Monaghan; there were eight
or ten deaths last week.

We learn with regret the re-appearance in Tralee of that dire
-pestilence, cholera, three cases of which have occurred since
Alonday, and all terminated fatally. The board of health are
on the alert, and no new case has been reported since. Cholera
is raging in the town of Donegal. Cholera partially exists in
the city of Waterford, where four deaths occurred this week.
Cholera report -at Newcastle,_ in this county, yesterday—new
cases 2, one recovery, 2 deaths, cases under treatment 7;—total
cases from beginning, 46 ; total deaths, 30; total recoveries, 9.
Cholera has totally disappeared from Tarbert. In Listowel it
is on the decline • but there was a case or two in Shanagolden.
Cho:era is on the' decline in Tipperary ; bere are only seven or
eight patients in hospital, and a case or two daily. Up to yes-
terday there were • eight cases and seven deaths of cholera at
Shanagolden.—Limerick Chronicle. •
RATHANGAN, Jan. 10.—Last night a decent industrious
young man, named Brohil, who had taken ground from the
Duke, or some other way violated the institutions of Captain
Rock, was shot dead, and his brother nearly beaten to death, by
one of those -hordes of ruffians who have been taking up arms
in the neighbourhood of Kildare. Brohil lived on the lands of
Youghal, near Kildare. I can tell you that, to a certainty,
there are numerous and extensive manufactories of gunpowder
through the ZOuntry.
On Tuesday morning an unfortunate man, having law papers
from the sheriff of the county of Waterford, was found mur-
dered outside Newcastle ; _two% stones smeared with blood were
found quite close to the poor man, whose head was greatly
shattered.—Clonmel Herald.

On Monday an altercation took place between three brothers,
of the name of Russel, respecting a boundary ditch of a farm
on the lands or Kilross, county Tipperary, when two of them
barbarously murdered their own brother with stones, at the same
time inflicting dreadful wounds on him with a pitchfork. Wm.
Russel, the name of the man who was so inhumanly murdered,
was in very comfortable circumstances, and has left a wife and
young family to mourn his loss. His brothers have since
absconded:—Limerick Chronicle.

CRIME IN IRELAND.-It is a lamentable fact that in many
districts of Ireland the peasantry commit the horrible crime of
murder upon very slight provocation. Those, assassinations
crowd the columns of the Journals and convey to the inhabi-
tants of other countries a terrible idea of the state of our
society. Unfortunately for the Irish character, this state of
things is not new. But it can with truth be asserted, that
crimes of this sort have not grown more numerous. Their
apparent increase arises,from their being reported now, which
hitherto was not the case. Newspapers have multiplied,
miraculously, and thus every district faithfully records those,
calamitous occurrences. The ordinary law in many cases has
been set aside, and the Insurrection act introduced into a
locality to crush those offences. This experiment has failed.
When the pressure was taken away the old system was resorted
to. Law, in most cases, overtakes the guilty, and at almost
every assizes the murderer falls beneath the axe of Justice ;
but yet the midnight torch is at work, 'and the dagger is active.
The !only mode of diminishing such crimes is to increase the
police in those districts, and offer rewards, in the shape of money
a p
nd rdon, to the discoverer of his guilty associates. This
plan isa pursued by the Executive. Tiine and education must
do the rest.—Dublin Times.
