From The ,Neuy- York Evening Post.
THE LAUNCH.
Behold the stately, pond'rous ship,
High on the stocks, majestic tow'rs
To move her from her station there,
Would seem beyond all human pow'rs;
Yet she is destin'd soon to ride,
Upon the bosom Of the tide.
TIL, appointed hour at length arrives,
And 10! the signal nov is given;
When to her destin'd element,
With force resistiess, she is ,driv'n
And never did the yielding wave,
A prouder, nobler freight receive.
Success attend thee, gallant ship,
Where'er thou may'st in future sail;
And may no force that ploughs the deep,
Against thee e'er in fight prevail;
And may thy sides of stubborn oak,
BY no opposing foe be broke.
And should'st thou e'er be doom'd to mech
Old Johnny Bisii in dread array;
Thine eagle shall pluck out his eyes,
Thy Hercules his lion slay:
And ever shall OHIO ride,
Victorious on the swelling tide. HI.
The fgssre-lead of the Ohio is Hercules
in lions skin.

DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.

GALWAY, Feb. "a.
We turn with feelings OF great regret to
the state OF this county. We have been
informed that the Ribbonmen have aban-
doned their agricultural occupation in the
pursuit OF plumber. Here is given the
names OF several gentlemen's houses which
have been plundered We are Of opin-
ION, that If the military force under the
orders of Gen. O'Loughlio were aug
mented by two or three regiments, and
placed through the country at proper dis
tances, aided and directed, as they would
be by the resident gentry, that few weeks
would restore the country to order. The
Asslzess which are about to take place,
will operate favorably. There are seve-
raj Ribboumen lodged in Galway Jail.
They will be tried, and the punishment
with which they will be visited, If found
guilty, will have the effect of striking a
salutary terror into the minds Of the dis
affected. The demand Of tythes, we
believe, has been the more immediate
cause OF the recent disturbances.
ANGHoRIN, Feb. 81.
The county Of Galway is in very
extraordinary state at present. At night
the country is 10 possession Of the Rib
0onmen. There is but very trifling
military force in the county, and there
are but ten Policemen 10 the great bar

The Englishman, Of the 9th February,
gives the following summary OF the most
important transactions on the Continent.
The French Papers Of Tuesday and
Wednesday arrived yesterday. Count
Simeon has been appointed Minister OF
the Interior, 10 the room OF the Duke
Decazes; Baron Mounier, Director Gen
eral of the Departmental Administration
of Police; and Count Portals, Under
Secretary Of State 10 the Minister OF
Justice. On Tuesday the remains OF the
Duke de Berri we're removed from the
Louvre 10 St. Denis. The procession
reached St. Denis at half past two. The
coffin was met at the door of the cathe-
drsi by the clergy. Marshals de Viomes-
oil and Money. and Generals de Bethizy
aud Dupont, were the pall-bearers. The
body was placed on stage in the middle
of the church during the celebration of
Mass, and afterwards removed TO the
Chapeile Ardente. More than 100000
of the inhabitants Of Paris attended the
procession. All the shops in that city
we're closed, and great number OF houses
we're hung with black. Since the assas-
sinatiou of his Royal Highness S per-

The Moniieur is filled with addresses to

from departments, from the members of
the Royal Courts, from various military
divisions, &c. condoling with him upon
the assassination of the Duke de Berri.

Mem Theatre destroyed. - This splendid
and costly edifce, is now nothing but a
large pile Of smoking ruins. Between Z
aud o'clock yesterday evening, it was
discovered to be on fire, in the northeast
angle of the stage, and such was the rapid
progress of the flames, that all efforts to
save the building we're Intellectual. The
range Of brick buildings west Of the Thea
ire, on Chesnnt-street, we're almost entire
ly destroyed. Chief Justice Tilshman's
house was several times OIL fire, but was not
materially injured. Tie Shakespeare build.
iugs were fortunately protected from the
flames by high brick psrapet wall, and
experienced very little injury.
The interior Of the Theatre being OF
very light fusible matter, the conflagration
was awfuliy rapid; and presented scene
truly majestic The horizon was SO pow
erfulIy illuminated, that at distance Of
four miles from the city the smallest print
could be easily read. Our readers at a
distance may therefore judge of the inten-
sity aud violence of the flames.
No sooner did the glare Of the flames
alight npon the State Prison, than Zero
cious shout of gIadness was heard to echo
from IFS walls. The state Of that prison
demands the most rigid inquiry, aud the
adoption Of the most rigorous measures.
There cannot be the least doubt Of this
scene OF destruction being the work of vile
incendiaries. The Theatre was closed
for the season 90 Monday last since when
we understand there has been little or no
fire or lights used 10 it.
Notwithstanding the spectacle was. cal
culated to inspire the stoatest heart with
dismay, there were found wretches base
enough TO endeavor to give wider sweep
to the devouring element, BY attempting TO
cut the hose Of the fire companies. We
understand man was taken up and is now
before the Mayor, who had knife or
other sharp instrument attached to his shoe
to effect this diabolical purpose.
Providentially the roofs of the houses
were completely covered with a coat Of
snow, which had fallen during the whole
OF the day, or we might have had to re-
cord one of the greatest visitations this
city ever experienced.
