The Elections in Ireland.

OF all our foreign exchanges, the onl,
Cork Eraminer, of Feb. 9TH, from which we
take the following:
The result of several Irish elections was
declared yesterday. In Limerick MIR.
O'Shaughnessy has come ont at the head OF
the poll with s4S votes; Mr.. Butt next,
with $40; Mr.. Spaight, the Conservative,
had 557 votes Sir Peter TAFT, 29l, and
Colonel Vereker, 2I3. The result was the
occasion of great rejoicing in Limerick last
night. In Waterford, where the poll was
taken on Thursday, the result was declared
yesterday. Messrs. Power and O'GOrman,
Home Rulers, have been returned by a
considerable majority over the late MEM
bcrs, Mcssrs. Delahunty and Bernal Os-
borne, the last of whom appears at the
bottom of the poll with only 100 votes In
New Ross Mr.. John Dunbar, Corkman,
has won the seat from the Tories by large
majority. Mr.. Arthur Moore, the Home
Rule candidate, has defeated Mr.. Bagwell
at Clonmel by majority of II, and Dung
annon has been won from the Tories by Mr..
Dickson. The polling in Dublin took place
yesterday, but the result had not been as
certained up to the time we went to press.
The impression is that Sir Arthur GUM
the Home Rule candidate, have been return
ed. 1t is rumOrcd that Cardinal Cullen
pumped for the Lord Mayor.
The poll for the city of Cork was taken
yesterday. The five candidates remained
in the field, and though great cxertions
were made on all sides the voting was
proceeded with in perfect tranquility. 1t
was arranged at the instance, we believe, of
the Conservatives that the ballot papers
should not be examined, and the poll de-
clared till to-day. The scrutiny will COM
mence at nine o'clock, and the declaration
may probably be between one and two.
The Liberal agents believe that Messrs.
Ronayne and Murphy have been returned
10y substantial majority, but the Con
servatives have hopes of winning one of
the seats, through the division of the
strength of the Home Rule party, produced
by the introduction of Mr.. Mitchell.
The elections have been specially fatal
to the more prominent members of the
Liberal party. The House has lost it's chief
jester by the defeat of Mr.. Bernal Osborne
at Waterford. Mr.. Bouverie, notable for
his caustic speeches, has been rejected by
the electors of kilmarlock burghs, and
Father O'keefle has no longer champion
in the House. Mr.. AyIton, the silver
tongued and popular minister who shared
with Mr.. Lowe the affection and respect of
tie House. has succumbed at Tower liam
lets, and Professor Fawcctt, rabil secu-
larist but decidedly able man, has been
ostracised by the electors of Brighton be-
cause he would not pay more than the
legal expenses of his election. The only
prominent Conservative who has come to
grief as yet is Lord Henley.
