IRELAND.
At Dublin, On Saturday, two Hebrew gentlemen, named Salomon and La- zarus, tendered informations to the Capel Street Magistrate, in order that a warrant might be issued for the arrest of Mr. Edmond O'Flaherty on a charge of forging signatures to certain bills of exchange. Mr. Maurice Saloman, Jeweller, deposed that Mr. O'Flaherty reseed to him a bill for 4501., dated 1st May 18,14, purporting to be drawn by Lord Dunkellin upon Lord Boling- broke, and indorsed to William Keogh, Solicitor-General for Ireland. Mr. Lazarus, jeweller, deposed that Mr. O'Flaherty passed to him a bill for 450/., dated 220 March 1854, purporting to be drawn by Edmond O'Flaherty upon John Robert Godley, and accepted by Mr. Godley ; and a bill for 701., purport- ing to be drawn and accepted by the same parties. Mr. Godley, on Monday, appeared upon a summons; and in consequence of urgent business was per- mitted to give his evidence alone upon a sworn information. He deposed that the signatures purporting to be his were not his, and that he had never authorized Mr. Edmond O'Flaherty to use his name. Mr. Keogh appeared on Tuesday, and gave similar testimony.
It is stated that Mr. O'Flaherty is in Copenhagen, out of the reach of be constable ; but another report describes him as having selected New York sa his place of exile.
Dennis Mullowney, a fine young man, described as "quite n Tipperary giant," being six feet four inches in height, has been butchered in Nenagh at noonday, by no fewer than seven ruffians, who knocked him from his horse, and inflicted so many wounds that le died some days after. The assassins ran off, but one returned to make the work sure, and, as the victim lay helpless in the street, dashed his skull in with a stone. The father of the deceased is an opulent farmer, and the murder appears to have been on account of some dispute about land. Several men arc in custody.
Lord Gough has bought Loughcouter Castle and demesne, formerly the residence of the Gort family, for 20,000/. : the erection of the castle cost 80,000/.
The supersedeas dismissing Mr. Carden from the Deputy-Lieutenancy and Magistracy of Tipperary will be immediately issued.
