IRE LAND

Mr. Lucas, the under-secretary for Ireland, has re-
signed his situation in consequence of ill health.
At the Tipperary Assizes, on Friday, Denis Lacy was
convicted of the wilful murder of Daniel Sullivan, in July,
1843. The Chief Justice passed senter,ce of death.
There is no doubt now that the sentinel supposed to
have been shot while on duty in Phcenix-park, Dublin,
maimed himself with a pistol in order to procure his dis-
charge and a pension. He is to be tried by court martial.
Two men have been committed for trial at Derry Assi-
zes, charged with having shot at the Rev. Mr. Kean, of
lshaheen, as he was returning on horseback from visiting
a sick parishioner.

OUTRAGES (IRELAND.)—From a parliamentary return
it appears that the total number of outrages specially re-
ported by the constabulary in Ireland during the month of
June latt, was 896. The number in May was 823; that
in June, 1814, only 4-16. Of the 896 outrages so reported
during the last month, 182 were of agrarian character.
INTENDED ORANGE DEMONSTRATION.—The Dublin
Mail says that a procession of Orangemen is to take place
on the 12th August at Enniskillen, at which forty thou-
sand members will be present. The day will not, at all
events, call forth any angry reminiscences from their op-
ponents, and the Protestants now feel that it is their turn
to intimidate according to law.

THE ATTENDANCE- AT WEXFORD.—As Mr. O'Con-
nell has estimated the number of " stalwartli" men par-
ticipating in the demonstration at 200,000, we have referred
to the latest census, 1841, and we find the males of all
ages from the new-born infant to the most advanced age,
to be set down at 97,918 for the whole county of Wexford.
To talk of Mr. O'Connell's figures in the face of this
document would be idle in the extreme.
WEXFORD REPEAL DEMONSTRATION. This great
repeal demonstration took place on Wednesday last. The
progress of 11,1 r. O'Connell from Bay to Wexford is de-
scribed as one long triumphal procession. The last-
named town was crowded with people await ng Mr.
O'Connell's arrival. The open-air-meeting was attended
by a vast crowd, by whom Mr. O'Connell was received
with the most unbounded enthusiasm. The dinner took
place in a large tent erected in a timber-yard, adjoining
the quay of Wexford. The tables were capable of ac-
commodating about 1,000 persons, and fully that number'
sat down to dinner. Mr. O'Connell responded to the
toast proposing his health.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting
was held in the Conciliation Elan on Monday.—Mr.
O'Connell's speech was a denunciation of the police for
massaereing" the people at Rathcormac, Skisbereen,
and Ballinhassig ; and Mr. Thomas Steele rooted the tor-
por of the shilline members by denouncing the editor of
the Evening Packet as an assassin, and one beyond the
pale of all law.—Mr. O'Connell went into a long cata-
logue of grievances under which he says Ireland is labor-
ing, and concluded by giving notice of his intention to go
off to Derrynane, and there draw up no less than eleven
acts of parliament to be submitted to the committee for
approval. One of the threatened acts is for the repeal of
the union, and another for the taxation of absentees.--
The week's rent was announced to be £319 18s. ld., and
the meeting adjourned.
