J. p, of Dublin, the Independent
Unionist candidate for West Down,

DUBLIN.
! Mr.. Walter Long, who replaced Mr..
Wyndham as Chief Secretary to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, arrived

crossed from Holyhead in the storm.
He paid an early visit to the chief
Seceretary's office at Dublin Castle.
A meeting under the patronage of
the City of Dublin Grand Orange
Lodge, was held on the evening of
March 18th, in the Rotunda. Resolu-
tons were passed denunciatory of the
Cancellation movement, thanking the
Ulster Unionist members for their
action, and protesting against the re-
duction of the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary in the South and West of
Ireland. Some extraordinary mo
Surrender" speeches were delivered
GALWAY.
OF the people along the Western
coast of Ireland, who are at present
suffering from the restitution arising
from the failure of last seasons crops,
there is no section Of them more ap-
pallingly destitute, and at the same
time more accomplishing, than those
who inhabit the shores of Galway Bay
from Inverin to Costelloe. The pinch
OF hunger is being felt there especial
ly in those districts that are known
as the disappearing districts, where
the people still use, habitually, the old
language of their fathers. The gov
eminent officers, as usual, are MAX
ing pretence of giving relief; but
it is little more than sham, and is
extended rather as justification for
the officials drawing of their salaries
than from. any desire to aid the I'M
fortunate sufferers. The universal
testimony of the clergy, and of those
best informed is that, but for the con.
tinued remittances received from
America, the distress would be still
more acute; but, even this source of
relief is in a great measure cut off
since, no sooner does it become known
that a family has received help from
friends in America, than the land
lords bailiff is ready to pounce on it,
and take it out of the recipients peck
cts, before they can derive any benefit
from it. Here it may be observed
that, around Inverin, to a large extent,
the sheriff and the land agent are one
and the same person.
The Earl of Clancarty, on March
1th, met the representatives of the

KERRY.
Addressing the Grand Jury, at the
opening of the Kerry Spring Assizes,
on March 18th, Chief Justice O'Brien

made very uncomfortable indeed.
