IRELAND.
The Banner of Ulster reports the establishment of a submarine electric telegraph between Donaghadee and Port Patrick in Scotland. Seven miles of wire were successfully sunk on the 15th instant ; but the North- ern Whig of the 17th reports that subsequently the submerged wire broke. Wires are about to be hung, connecting Donaghadee, Belfast, Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, and Cork. These, with the submarine wire?, will place all the towns in direct communication with the chief ports of England and Scotland.
A circular has been issued by Mr. Roney, the Secretary of the pro- jected Great Industrial Exhibition at Dublin. The building, it is said, will be commenced next month, and the opening of the exhibition is fixed for the first week in May 1853. The supporters of the project manifest great activity.
The second division of the Second Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays) disembarked at the North Wall, Dublin, on Monday morning, from Liver- pool, and marched into barracks.
