IRELAND.

The Dublin Evening Post, speaking of the Ministerial overthrow, says- " The change has astounded the country—of that there is no doubt. It has come as a thunder-clap upon the Irish Orangemen. The explosion of the plo has been fatally premature. Let us for a moment consider the circumstances in which the empire is placed, and cast a prospective glance at the probabl results of this boulerersement. Wheat is under forty shillings a quarter England—in Ireland it is about twenty shillings a barrel. We should be gls to ask the Tory landlords in the Sister Island, and the Orange landlords a home, what chances have they of receiving any rents ? In England, perba there in some capital still remaining among the farmers ; in Ireland, we tong whether there toe any. Again, in England the incendiary fires (as they ar called) are burning along the Eastern coast, and are spreading through oth places with formidable rapidity. It is an insurrection of the laboaring elasse against their employers. Similar demonstrations were made in France ia th• year F787, and a revolution occurred in 1789. In Ireland, outrages are accu mutating in the South ; and by reference to another place, it will be seen tha the Orangemen of Ulster are taking very decisive steps. And this period i chosen to throw all ranks of society into combustion ! There is no sensible al rho, regarding this prospect alone, without reference to any other measuris tut not feel misgivings, even under the most favourable position of a Reform

Administration, for the ultimate consequences of such a diseased state of soviety. To catch the incendiary—to punish the homicide, are felt—when the pan

becomes general—when the midnight fire burns, and the blood flows in every county in the kingdom—to be almost beyond the powers of an active and nume- rous police. How can this frightful condition of things be successfully en- countered, when all classes of society are thrown—as they will be infallibly— into conflagration by the recent revolution in his Majesty's councils? Was this a time for so tremendous an experiment ? We protest to God that we cannot coy the prospect before the country without shuddering."

It is universally believed in Dublin, that the machinations of the Court party, and the return of the Tories to power, have for their object the preservation of the Irish Church, and the Corporations, with all their glaring and admitted abuses, and that the sword will be employed to silence remonstrance. The struggle is regarded not as a contest between the Whig and the Tory for office, but a desperate effort to restore the old system of misgovernment—to perpetuate tithes—to stifle the Church Commission Inquiry—in fact, to defeat Al the legitimate objects of the Reformers, and, if not to deprive the Reform Bill of its most valuable provisions, to control the popular voice at elections, and by means of terror and intimidation to neutra- lize the influence of the People in the House of Commons. I have taken some pains to ascertain the state of public' feeling at this critical

;onetime. I find that Reformers of all shades—Liberals, Radicals, and Repealers—have completely abandoned their differences, and are ready to unite as cordially and determinedly as they did on the occasion of Lord Grey's resignation in 1831, against the common enemy.--

About two hundred of Mr. O'Connell's admirers, resident in Cork ad the neighbourhood. gave the Agitator a public dinner on Monday.

There were several Repeal Members of Parliament present, and a number of Anti-Reformers were induced to attend, in order to hear 31r. O'Connell's speech. In returning thanks when his health was drunk, Mr. O'Connell almost immediately adverted to the overthrow of the Whig Ministers—

"We are, my friends, on the eve of mighty events. The Whig Administra- tion is dissolved ! But what care you or 1 what changes of Administration come, whether Whig or Tory, if tyranny and oppression of Ireland continue aiorous, fresh, and ferocious as ever? When the Homan empire was dissolved, and the people in the madness of their slavery were putting tyrants to death, 'What,' said one of the stern and stedfast supporters of liberty, care I what

mast reigns or is dead, if the tyranny still exists?' Even so is it with Whigs and Tories. Yes, we will be told that the Whigs did much good for Ireland,

and intended for us still more. 0, yes, we coerced them into some matters of mere secondary utility; but whom have we to thank for it ? not them, but our determination to see Ireland, and the vigilance and activity which enables us to earn their imbecility—their hypocrisy—to account ; for, believe me, if their neressities, their anxiety to keep themselves in place, had not wrung it float them, like their Tory predecessors they intended nothing good for Ireland but tie good old system of legislation. Well, who are we to have now ? The Hero of Waterloo, perhaps! Oh, we beat him before, and we are able to beat hint again. He was brought into power for the very purpose of withholding Eman- cipation; but notwithstanding, we compelled him to capitulate and surrender

an our own terms; and, after a fruitless contest against the moral power of the People, he bad ingloriously to retreat, and consign the command of the troops to

other hands. Well, then, what was done once, can be done a second time; and, with the blessing of God, we will more easily beat him now than before ! Then the Tory Administration was in full vigour and virulence. He had his house- hold troops, like so many Swiss mercenaries, ready to obey their master's orders. The Parliament was then Unreformed ; the Borougbmungering Oligarchy and supporters of Protestant Ascendancy were all at his back ; but those dreams of In continuance were all futile and visionary, and, like the mist before the rising sun, did they vanish before the united voice of the People. We beat Wellington then, though at tremendous chances in his favour. lie had his choice of posi- tion, and, when we broke through his ranks then, though an old campaigner,

slat chance of holding his position would he have now, when nine-tenths of the troops are with us? (Loud cheers.) But, after all, whether Whig or Tory

take the field against us, what Ireland wants, she yet shall have; and, while there is life in this heart, my tongue shall be the trumpet to sound the blast of her resurrection. What care we for a change of Administration ? They may

racy, but our object is one and unvaried ; and in the accomplishment of that object, who can venture the prophecy, that his Most Gracious Majesty would not, at length, call upon some of us, Radicals, to remedy the diseases created in the system, by those political quacks and pretenders." (Loud cheers and laughter.) Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to descant, at great length, upon the injuries of Ireland ; and urged the People to petition Parliament for Repeal, until the Government were obliged to listen to the voices of eight millions of men calling for justice.

"He trusted the People would bear but this one winter of additional perse- cution, and in another year they would have liberty and prosperity dawning Ira them ; and tithes and all their grievances would vanish, like those fabled ghosts that disappear when the sun bursts forth in the firmament."

la a subsequent part of his speech, be again alluded to the late Ministry_ "1 again emphatically repeat it, I am careless about Ministers, and anxiously ak what good have they dune for Ireland ? When was the Orange more ferocious and rampant? How many hopes have Ministers held forth to Ireland and dashed the cup from her lips? When had we more enemies to assail and to traduce us? From my soul I abomivate both Whigs and Tories, for they are both equally the enemies of Ireland."

The Repeal of the Union and other toasts were drunk, and the party broke tip about one o'clock.

Mr. Cobbett's Irish admirers gave him a dinner in Dublin on Moo- ds). General Cockburn was in the chair ; and several Repeal Mem- bers of Parliament and other gentlemen of mark were present. When his health was drunk, Mr. Cobbett got on the table and delivered a long speech ; from the conclusion of which, the following sentences relative to the overthrow of the Whigs are taken.

." I shall now sit down, hoping that you will lose nothing by the recent coange in the Ministry. ( Loud cheers, and laughter.) That auful circumstance will not, I hope, prevent the grass from growing, nor the pigs Gem fattening. I trust that they were not the breath in our nostrils ; and I ',any believe that you will do as well without them as with them. ( Cheers cod laughter.) I have to congratulate you that they have got their dismissal tom the King." L addition to whatever troubles a new Ministry may have to en- counter, they must also be prepared to pacify Ireland on the momen- tous subject of tithes. Matters are coming to a crisis in the South on three great estates,—viz. those of the Earl of Dunraven, at Adare, comity of Limerick ; of the Earl of Courtown, at Gorey, county of Wexford ; and the no less princely one of H. Knox Grogan Morgan, at Johnstown, in the barony of Forth, in the same county. The tithe campaigns opened Irt the first and last landlords were quite unexpected, on account of the liberality and good policy of these resident and im- proving individuals and their agents ; and therefore they have awakened more of bitterness of feeling on the part of their numerous and dis- appointed tenantry. Lord Dunraven's property is estimated at 3.2,000/. a year ; and the tithe be has undertaken to pay is to hint comparatively a trifle. On Monday morning, a large party of the 18th Royal Irish Infantry was ordered from Limerick to .Adare ; where they were joined by a strong force of the county police ; and under their protection a seizure was formally made of hay, corn, and potatoes, belonging to all the tithe defaulters on his Lordship's estate—that is to say, all his tenantry. These were taken front their yards and pits, under the very windows of his Lordship's mansion, and conveyed, by the aid of six- teen cars and horses, belonging to the noble Earl (for none other could he obtain for love or money), to a guarded depot, without any opposi- tion, where they now wait in vain for is purchaser. All the cattle were either locked up or driven away. The tenants said that the potatoes, corn, and hay, were intended to pay the noble Earl's rents, and to feed his labourers ; and that, if he took these away by soldiers and police, why, he best knew his own interest. The soldiers were excessively fatigued. Their murmurs were both loud and deep; and so strongly were the feelings of the military excited, that sooner than take away a poor widow's potatoes, they paid the amount of her tithes out of their own pockets. The commandant of police also paid a poor man's tithe out of his own pocket, rather than he obliged to seize his little property. These proceedings are by no means concluded, and the military and police continue billeted at Adare. The people are greatly excited, and watch anxiously to ascertain who dare become the purchasers of the tithe-seizures.—Correspondent of the Times.

Another dreadful murder has been perpetrated in the county of Tipperary. A letter from the town of Tipperary states that "on Thursday morning a person of the name of Patrick Staunton, herds- man to Crosby Moore, of Mooresfort, Esq. bad summoned some people for assault to the Petit Sessions. When coming to the Sessions prior to the Magistrates sitting (about half-past eleven o'clock), five men pounced on him in the very to en, and killed hint instantaneously; although thirty persons and upwards were present, none of them assisted in arresting the murderers, who made their escape, nor the Police afterwards.—Globe Correspondent.
