JILT 19. Eight nominations for Irish counties are fixed for this day—namely, for the counties of Dublin, Cork, Clare, Carlow, Kilki nny, Meath, Longford, and the Queen's County ; and in some of these the proceedings will be attended with intense interest and excitement. The first day's polling, which may be taken u derisive of the election, takes place to-day in Loath and Westmeath; Monaghan election is fixed for to-morrow ; and before the end of the week the issue of the principal Irish elections bo determined.  In Cork it is expected that Messrs. Hudson and Shouldham, the conservative candidates, will not go to the poll, as a rumour to that etfect, which ap, peered exceedingly probable, prevailed in Cork last evening. The following notice appears in the Cork Reix•rter At a numerous meeting of tits elector, of the baronies of Barrymore and lesokilly, held at 31Weton, on the 16th inst., to make arrangements for the coining election for this county, it was stated that a receiver under the Court of Chancery in the neighbourhood was interfering with the tenantry under his control, and using threats to influence their votes. This being clearly illegal and contrary to the recorded directions of the 'Masters in Chancery, it was resolved to report inch unwarrantable conduct to the proper ' quarter. As t' ere are probable numerous similar casts now recurring, it is imuurtsuit to direct public attention to the UMW r, and that means should b, tei..en to ensure pr,• uishment from the Court of Chanccre for such offenders. Fortune appears to have turned fairly agaiust Mr. John Reynolds., who is roaming through the country in vain, in search of a seat. The Queen's Bays arrived in Dublin this morning, making the second cavalry regiment sent to Ireland within these last few days; the pith Lancers having come over last week.

The warrants for the execution of Kirk and M'Cooer, for the attempt to murder Mr. Eastwood, have beCn received by the sheriff, and will be put in execution at the gaol ct Dundalk on the 31st inst. At the Down assizes on Saturday several persons were convicted on a charge of unlawful assembly and procession at Newtownarda, on the 12th inst. On Thursday last, the anniversary of St. Swithin, a water spout broke over Limerick, and deluged the streets in ten minutes. The rain poured down like grape shot.

THE CitOTS IN IRELAND are still healthy and abundant. Nothing can be finer than the potatoes, which are now plurally brought into market large and well tasted, and without any ap s of disease.

Towards morning Tide succeeded, and the water rose eighteen inches in the river.
