IRELAND.

THE DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF LAW AND ORDER. The following highly important statement appears in the Dublin Evening Post:We have seen lists of thousands of names, received this day by the gentlemen who have undertaken llie duties of Secretaries to the declaration namely, Messrs Thomas Hutton, A'exander Boyle, Valentine O'Brien O'Connor, James Perry, rind Pierce Maliony. Anything in saape of classification or from this immense mass of names, from every part of Ireland, is of course out of the question at this time. The names include the Protestant and Orthotic Primates (Lord John 6. Beresford, and the Most Rev. Dr. Crolly)—the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin (Mo-t Rev. Dr. Murray)—the Catholic Bishop of Watirford (Right Rev. Dr. Foran)—peers, lieutenants of counties, deputy-lieutenants, magistrates—numbers of the clergy Protestant, Catholic, and Presbyterian—barristers, merchants, the professional classes—and, which we consider quite as important, immense numbers of farmers and shopkeepers from the four provinces, who, free from the poison of sedition, have volunteered their earnest support of the governtnent of Lord Clarendon, against the designs of those wicked men who seek to involve the country in anarchy and hopelcs misery. It is due to the coumry and to tho signers of the declaration, who have come forward with such alacrity, and so unhesitatingly, to sustain the cause of law and order aud good government, that their names shouid be placed on record. A few of the localities only we shall allude to. Lord Stuart de Decies heads the list in Waterford County. In Kilkenny County Lord Ashbrook and a host of gentry, and farmers, &c, with Catholic clergymenin the district of Durrew, have forwarded their signatures. , . In Meath the Earl of Fingall heads the list—in Leitrim Lord Clements—in the district ot Piltown, County of Kilkenny, the Earl of Bessborough heads an array of all classes, including a great number of (armers—the Rev. Pierce Marum, Parish Priest, is included in this list. In Galway, Lords Cloncarty and Clonbrock, head the list—in Westmeath, Hugh Morgan Tuite, DL. of Sonna—-and here, such is the honorable zeal by which tltl3 movement is distinguished, that Ahc.a O'Connor Malons, the representative of a large property in that comity, has affixed her signature to the declaration* The Earl of Longford heads the list in that county—Lord Lorton in Roscuinmou —aud Lo.d Farnham in Cavan. In the town of Cavaa we understand only two declined to put their names to the declaration—and what i» curious is, that one is a Protectant, and the other a Roman Catholic These are the solitary exceptions to the general simultaneous movement of the country in support of the Lord-Lieutenant.
