CLAIM TO BE RATED. To the Overseers of the Parish of I hereby give you notice that I occupy a at No. in Street, in your Parish, and I claim to be rated to the relief of the Poor in respect of such premises in order that I may be entitled to Vote in the Election of Members of Parliament for the City Dated this day of 184 (Signed)  TlMES.—Dublin, as our readers are happy to know, is one of the places in which, after all their intimidation, the Liberals have been unsuccessful. Such was their ferocity under the disappointment, that when, on the Saturday night, the election had terminated in favour of Mr. West and Mr. Grogan (the former of whom was confined by indisposition to his house), it became necessary that Mr. Grogan should return to his residence under an escort ; ancraccordingly he went home through the streets of that civilised metropolis guarded by a party of the 10th Hussars! The same spirit which had so savagely overawed the constituency of Dublin city, continued to exercise its terrors upon that of Dublin county. The coalporters, as berate, were the most conspicuous of the ruffians. On the night of Sunday, the 11th, the night immediately preceding the first day of the poll, they set fire to a dwellinghouse near Santry, and forcibly carried off and secured twelve of the Roman Catholic tenants of Mr. Woods, of Milvertown, who mere desirous to vote with their landlord for the Conservatives. When the poll began, armed parties of these coal. porters paraded the streets leading to Kilmainham and the avenues around the hustings. On Tuesday and Wednesday, indeo, when the advantage appeared to be with the Popish candidates, the polling went on more quietly, but on the night between the Wednesday and the Thursday, the priests' party seem to have thought that an example was become needful, and consequently a farmer, named Macalister, who had voted for the Conservatives, was on that night waylaid on his road home, near the village of Rathcoolc, and treated with such violence that his life was not only endangered, but would ' in all probability have been sacrificed on the spot, but for the timely arrival of one of the maileoaches from Dublin. In the coure of Thursday, however, it became obvious that all these murderous means would be unavaling ; and early on the Friday morning the Radical candidates resigned. It is probably to the near attendance of an ade. quate military force that the discomfiture of the intimidation, both in the city and in the county of Dublin, must mainly be attributed. It will be seen as we proceed with these notices, that in other districts, where the same assistance was not available, the violence and terror reached a height yet more barbarous, and succeeded in storming a bloody victory. We are often told that there is no difference between the English and the Irish people, and that therefore there ought to be no distinction between English and Irish institutions or franchises. This difference, at least, between the English and the Irish Constituencies, we think, is tolerably perceptible--that in order to prevent intimidation at an English election, the military mrst be marched out; in order to prevent it at an Irish election, the military must be marched in.
