announces that Lord George Bentinck goes to Ireland immediately after the recess, "nominally on a visit to his friend the Marquis of Downshire at Hillsborough Castle, but in reality to ascertain what practical legisla! tive measures can be originated by him, and carried, for the social and political improvement of the Irish people." [How will he "ascertain" what can be " carried"?] The Special Commission for the trial of the leaders and other parties implicated in the Irish insurrection was fixed, yesterday, to be held at Nenagh on Tuesday the 19th instant. The presiding Judges are to be the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and Chief Justice Doherty.
Mr. M`Manus, a Chartist from England, was arrested on Wednesday, on board a vessel in Cove harbour, about to sail for America. He was in disguise, and was taken up by chance in the first instance: his disguise was then detected.
