IRELAND.

One of the largest and most respectable meetings ever seen in Dublin, was held on Wednesday week, to establish an Association for the Pro- motion of Emigration to South Australia. Colonel Torrens addressed the meeting at length on this subject, and showed the benefit which Ireland, beyond almost any other country, would derive from the new market for labour now opening in the Colonies. Several gentlemen exhibited considerable ignorance of the subject, on which they spoke with confidence ; but they were for the most part set right by Colonel Torrens; who carried along with him the immense majority of the meeting.
