DUBLIN, June 3.-It is known on
competent authority that the Prince
of Wales, through his agents, has
been in negotiation with several
landed proprietors for the purchase Of
an eligible estate, with the view of
fixing permanent residence in the
country. The best confirmation of
these rumors is found in the fact that
negotiations have been closed, and
that the Prince has definitely fixed
upon desirable site, and will shortly
commence the erection of his future
royal residence.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIoN-Tks Correct Fig
nres-The Republican Ticket Victorious 7htg
Elect all The Aldermen, and Eight Council men out
Of Eteren.-The election yesterday was carried
on in very orderly manner, although il was
very closely contested. The large force of po-
lice on hand prevented any disorder, but noile
worthy of notice was attempted.
About thirty-five arrests were made during the
day, all merely for drunkenness or disorderly
conduct resulting therefrom; and only one case
of illegal voting was detected, that of John w.
Randolph, colored, in the second precinct, who
is held for a hearing by Justice Buckley.
The result is a complete surprise to the Re
publicans as well as to the supporters of the
Citizens ticket, in fact ii is a repetition of the
election last year, when the Democrats were as
much surprised at their success then as the Re
publicans are now. The result, as determined
by the votes hastily counted, was announced
last evening at the MAYORS Ofice in the Gus
tom House, bnt the Official count this morning
slightly changes the result as then given out and
settles the whole business, as follows: (The
names OF the successful candidates are i'm italics
and they have been notified by the Clerk of the
Corporation to meet for organization on Mon
day evening next at " o'clock:)
