IRELAND.
The Lord-Lieutenant has left Ireland, for a visit of some weeks to England. The Lord Chancellor and the Commander of the Forces have been sworn in as Lords Justices to act in the absence of Lord Clarendon.
The Repeal Association has succumbed under the pressure of financial want. Mr. John O'Connell stated, on Monday, that it would not meet again till the committee shall receive such an assurance of support from the country generally as will justify them in again opening their doors. Be- fore that day week, they would be deprived of all control over the hail; and he "wanted to startle the country into action by the apprehension of dissolution."
The prosecution of the persons who were to have been tried at the pre- sent Down Assizes for the Dolly's Brae riots has been abandoned by the Crown, in deference to the representations of several Magistrates and others, that to proceed with the prosecution would only revive the ani- mosity between the two parties, which has of late happily subsided.
