IRELAND.  , MA acz 23. A deputation from the council ofDUBLIN the Chamber of Commerce had an interview yesterday with the Lord Lieutenant relative to the contemplated abolition of the viceroyalty. The Mercantile Advertiser, wh:ch mentions the circumstance, states that they were reesived by his excellency with the utmo,t kindness, bat that the result has not yet transpired. Mr. J. L Murphy has been appointed one of the Commissioners of Cnaritable Bequests for Ireland in the room of Mr. Corballi., resigned. The following government apwintments have been made: Dr. Madden to be Secretary of the Loan Fund, in the rcom of Mr. C. Piesse, promoted to the colonies. The Rev. Gibson Black, curate of St. George's Parish, to be Chaplain to the Mountjoy Penitentiary, at a salary of 1001. per annum. The Rev. M-. M'Csbe to be Roman catholic chaplain to the same institution, at a , salary of 1501. a year. The trial of Dr. Langley for the murder of his wife terminated yesterday evening, at the Nenagh Ardses, in the acquittal of the prisoner. The case, which was a very remarkable one, and occupied the court for two days, attracted considerable aizention. Tne prisoner was a physician, practising in the town of Nenagh for several years. He had been married for 13 or 16 years to his wife, the daughter of a respectable clergyman named Poe, in the same town, and was charged with murdering her by confining her while sick and diseased to an unwholesome room, and by refusing to allow her to provide proper food for herrelf, and neglecting and refusing to provide it for her. This treatment was said to have occurred between s'l]. December, 1848, and let May, 1849, and the motive for it was alleged to have been an unfortunate attachment which the prisoner entertained for a niece of his wife. Letters were produced in evidence in which the prisoner confessed that attachment, and brought charges of infidelity against his wife to excuse the hatred which he felt for her. However, it appears from the testimony of the witnesses that Mre. Langley died of diarrhces, and the jury acquitted the prisoner of either murder or manslaughter. One of the remarkable circumstances connected with the case was the fact of the prisoner having abstained,' from food for forty days in the prison, taking nothing during that rime but water, and also refusing to have his beard removed.  The murder of Mr. Woolsey, of Cloonagh-honse, near Portadown, continues to excite much latexes: in the north of Ireland. The inquest had not terminated when the last accounts left, and the BeTot News Letter states:  That from the evidence there is as yet no positive charge against any individueL The deceased was at litigation on several occasions eith his relations end others, and had been successful in ejecting them out of small portions of land. Then has therefore, existed between him and them so much coldness aa to warrant the surmise that he was shot by some of those persons who may have supposed themselves blrehly treated by him. His brother was apprehended on suspicion of bong a guilty party in the dreadful transaction, but was on Wednesday liberated by order of the magistrates, as there was no evidence to warrant their holding him. He attended during part of the examination of the witneues yesterday. When leaving, we reedved information that Mr. B. Boyd, who is brother-in-law to the deceased, and his son, were apprehended on suspicion. Accounts, says the Freeman, have reached town from the Very Rev. Mr. Mathew, announcing his being in good health, at Columbus, state of Georgia, and preparing to continue his mission on to New Orleans.  Baron Prochaska has arrived from the seat of the late war in Hungary, to join his family at Dromana, the mansion of the Right Hon. Lord Stuart De Denim
