IRELAND.
Mr. George Alexander Hamilton was on Friday elected as Repre- sentative P.A. the University of Dublir, in the room of Judge Jackson. There was no opposition. Mr. Hamilton spoke at great length on the Education and Maynooth questions, in opposition to the policy adopted by the Government on those subjects.
I regret to announce the death of Sir John Newport, Bart., which took place on Thursday evening, (the 9th,) at his seat, Newpark, near Waterford, for which city he had been long the zealous and faithful representative. Sir John had reached a very advanced age ; but his attachment to his country, and his anxiety for her welfare, remainea as ardent as ever up to the latest hour of his existence. Sir John New- port was a genuine Irish Whig, and through his long political career his course had been distinguished by manliness and consistency.— Dublin Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.
