IRELAND.  DUBLIN, April 18.  Mr. Byers, the innkeeper who was shot in the neck by Mr. Sutcliffe, at Glasnevin, some time ago, appeared yesterday at the Capel-street Police-court to give evidence in the case. Mr. Sutcliffe was also present, and surrendered to his bail. Byers declined to prosecute, stating that he conscientiously believed the whole occurrence was accidental. It is said that he has received pecuniary compensation for the injury he sustained. Mr. Sutcliffe was then discharged. The:two men in custody for shooting a man named Brophy in Thomas-street were again remanded by Mr. Allen yesterday, the wounded man being still in a precarious state.  From a report -furnished to the Government by Dr. Neilson Hancock on the deposits in joint-stock banks in Ireland, it appears that the increase of £2,628,376 during the year 1865—viz., from £14,422,176 in 1861 to £17,050,552 in 1865—was greater than the largest previous increase in one year—viz., of £2,510,233, from £7,263,091 in 1851 to £10,773,324 in 1852. It also appears that the increase of £4,083,821 in the last two years exceeded the withdrawals during the four bad years,  1860-63, by £1,008,412, so that the deposits, £17,050,552, at the end of 1865 exceeded by £1,000,000 the previous maximum of £16,042,140 in 1859. The deposits of £17,050,552 are more than.  twice the amount in 1850—viz., 18,268,838, and three times the amount in 1840—vis., 15,567,851. Considered with reference to changes in population, the deposits in 1840 were 13s. 7d. per head of popu lation ; in 1850, £1 2s. Id. ; in 1860, £2 14s. Id. ; and in 1865, £3 35., or nearly five times the amount per head of population as in 1840.

Upon the larger question of the wealth of Ireland, as compared with other portions of the United Kingdom, the extraordinary advantages which England and Scotland enjoy over Ireland in mines and minerals, and consequently in manufactures, have led to an equally remarkable accumulation of capital. One bank—the London and Westminster—holds for bank deposits, circular notes, and other money payable on demand, no less a sum than £12,224,571. The Irish returns include deposits alone , but if even the cash balances were added, the sum in all the banks would not much exceed what is held by one English bank:. the depot soldier named John O'Leary, returning. depot of his regiment in Ireland, laAt night committed' suicide by leaping overboard h Dublin, Nymph steamer, bound from Ho IYdhealecidentally ; or was drowned by falling ovefttr. which.
