three or four places, but we pensive, as dm Do-
lie Evening Post observes, that a disposition exists
in certain papers in tie Conaty of Cork, "to ex-
aggerate and even to invent. The ()hien of there
;entry," continued that paper, " is obv►oos enough.
They are evidently specelatiag on places under the New
Constabulary Bill. We trust, sincerely, that they will
be disappointed. We refer to the letter of Mr. Harris
on this subject. The head-quarters of the alarmists
seem to be Mallow and Doneraile. In Limerick, very
few convicilons under the Insurrection Act have taken
place. There is abundance, however, of civil matter.
created, co doubt, by the distresses of the times. The
misery of the farming interest, it would seem, can
scdtcely be surpassed."

We are extremely glad to find, that GAMBLING
Houses are pursued with unremitting vigour. They
are not only attacked by Police prosecutions ; but hive
been pursued in law, in the Court of King's Beath, and
have been made to disgorge part of their illgotten wealth.
We cannot describe the extent of the satisfaction
we derive from contemplating the warfare libido
is carrying on against the vilest ot deyfeda-
tors, the Heimann of the lisuaLtxu -Houses
in question. They have risen, generally, from
the lowest classes of society—have risen ' into
wealth and opulence. We trust, they will be strieped
of every shilling of their heaped-up plunder,
and will be reduced to their nativebeggary. Thiswill be
punishmelt enough for them ; and we desire only tone
it extended, until not a villein among them can he seen,
any where, with a decent coat upon Lis bark, er
with a meal provided fur him. Some of them, and indeed
all of them, would well beiome the distinguished post
of working in the TRIAD-MILL. But poverty, their
°riffled poverty, is what they hate most ; and to
this they mutt be reduced by the actions carrying on
against them, and to be carried on against them. We
trust, no relaxation will be permitted in this great
and worthy work. Let no one fear to hurt his character
by those prosecutions. All good men's hands are
raised against the VILLAINS, and the blow will
never fell, without the applause of thousands. Have
you had a ton, or brother, or friend, ruined in one
of these Gamma° Houses ? Pursue the KEEPERS
of them, until not one is left of the whole nest;
let that be the work of the community; and let
no part of it be unfinished. The thing is to be
done. There need not be • GAMBLING-Hones in
the METROPOLIS and we hope soon to hear, that
no such thing is to be found. Great will be the merit,
and great the reward of those who have happily led to
the desired event.

An English gentleman, lust arrived from Mexico,

election of Ituthide and with his system of Government.
It was the general opinion among influential persons that
a republic was incompatible with the divided nature of
the population, and the Republicans were not suffi-
ciently numerous to occasion the least apprehension to
Iturbide, for the general feeling was nut pronounced
more strongly in favour of separation from Spain, than
it was in his favour. The opposition to his election, he
says, was chiefly confined to Spaniards. He says there
is not the slightest foundation for the report of a Re-
nublican party having raised the standard of revolt, and
ikat were the attempt made it could not be attended
with any result. When lie left Mexico aM. E a
