A dispute has taken place between Mr. O'Driscoll, the editor
of the Cork Southern Reporter, and Dr. Baldwin, M. P., in consequence of some remarks which were made in the Southern Reporter on speech of Dr. Baldwin at a recent mesting held at Cork, for the
purpose of introducing Mr. Roche as a candidate for that county. The Doctor happening to meet Mr. O'Driscoll soon after the appear- ance of the offensive article, is said to have called him "a blackguard and a false reporter." Mr. O'Driscoll took no notice at the time, but immediately afterwards sest a message demanding a retractation of the words or a meeting. The rotor affirms that he did not address Mr. O'Driscoil at the time, but was speaking in his usual tone to the gentleman with whom be was walking; and he denies having said any
thing personal of the "reporter," but merely abused the report. The Doctor refused a meeting ; and he is heartily abused by the Southern Reporter.— Courier. [Dr. Baldwin has been praising the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, in terms which a real Refortner should not have employed ; and we are not surprised that he received, as he deserved, castigation in that indepeedent journal the Cork Southern Reporter; the editor of which is know' us a most respectable man.] The Dublin Mail says, that by a reeert order of the Irish Governs ment to the Clerks of the Peeve in Ireland to submit copies of all informations for the sessions to the Attorney-General, the emoluments of the office of the hater will be increased front five to seven thousand a year.
