IRELAND.  Sudden Illness of the Lord Chancellor.—The Lord Chancellor, on rising at an early hour yesterday, intimated to the bar that he would not be able to sit this day owing to an attack of illness. Such professional gentlemen RS were not apprised of the circumstance until this morning evinced the greatest anxiety for his Lordship on learning the untoward intelligence, and that feeling was participated in by all classes, sects, and parties. It is hoped that a little quiet will serve to restore him to perfect health. We ardently join in the hope, and pray for his speedy recovery.—Dublin Packet of Saturday. Dublin, Nov. 11—Monument to O'Connell.—Prepasatsons are being extensively made for the collection, next Sunday, of funds for the erection of a monument to O'Connell. The movement is general throughout all Ireland. There is at present a very active emigration from the North of Ireland to New-Orleans. This is a very cheap way of reaching the interior, and in the winter months safe and healthy. The Late Murders—Government Rewards —The Dublin Gazette contains proclamations from the Lord-Lieutenant, offering £lOO reward to the person or persons who shall give such information as shall lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of the murder of Major Malion—£loo for such information as may bring to justice the murderers of Michael Walsh, Steward to Mr. O'Callaghan, of Ballinahinch—and £lOO for information in the case of the widow Darmody, who was found, on Tuesday night, in a field near her house at Coolgorth, county Tipperary, with her head dreadfully mangled. Queen's and King's Counties.—We are sorry to find from good authority, that life is becoming as insecure in portions of the Queen's and King's counties as in other parts of Ireland, and we are in possession of the names of three gent Heinen who stand in great danger of assassination—indeed, one of them had a narrow escape during the past week; , but as the authorities have knowledge of these matters, the I mention of names might thwart the ends of justice, and I cause much anxiety to the friends of the parties concerned. Such is the present state of society, that no individual is safe, for even officials run as much risk as others; and, unless Parliament enact stringent measures, the country will be worse than any other bearing the name of Christianity. —Leinster Express. Assassination in Fermanagh.—On Saturday evening, Wm. Hassard, Esq. of Gardenhill, (our county treasurer,) when returning to his house, at about eight o'clock in the evening, was fired at, in his own lawn, with slugs aud nails. The shot passed through his thigh. Doctors Fritb, Ovendon, and Flood have been in constant attendance on him ever since, but he is still in a precarious state, and by no means out of danger. The police have been scouring the country actively with the view of obtaining some clue to the discovery of the perpetrators of this diabolical deed. We greatly fear that this is only the first of a series of intended murders, which a portion of the infatuated cocabinators in this country intend waging against all such persons as refuse to resign the management of their own properties. We had hoped that the murderous character of that body had confined its operations to Tipperary and the south of Ireland, but we fear the north is also to be deluged with human blood this winter. We that two men have been taken .1 on s”- We receh,ed that Mr.
