IRELAND.

Mr. Lucas, the Under Sherriff for Ireland, has resigned. HI health, and especially a serious affection of the eyes, are said to be the cause of his resignation 5 which had twice before been tendered. Mr. Pennefather, son of the Chief Justice, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Lucas, The Dublin Gazette of Friday, announced that John Farl of lime, had been chosen a representative Peer for Ireland, in the room of John Baron Carbery. Mr. O'Connell has had another monster meeting, as Galway,. He entered the town in procession, about half past three o'clock on Sunday j his retinue being estimated at 100,000, and extending three miies in length. As they paraded the town, "showers" of bouquets fell into his carriage from windows filled with ladies. The maich closed at the square; where an out-door meeting was held : Mr. Francis Comyn, once a Justice of the Peace, presided ; and 250,000, it is said, were present. Mr. O'ConnelFs speech, mutatis mutandis, the reader has already perused times out of number. On Monday, he held a kind of levee for the reception of addresses ; and there was a greal dinner in the theatre, at which four Bishops were present. The speeches including that of Dr. M' Hale. Archbishop ofTuara, were not striking, if we except some beauties in an oration by Mr. Stesle. He talked of the voice of the Lion of the Fold of Judah [Dr. M'Hale] speaking to the Saxon Ministers, and combined with the " repercussive roar of the multitudinous assembly of the people of Galway." "Your Chairman," he remarked, " has said that we were ready to die with the Liberator : why, to be sure we were 5 and blasted he the thrice-infected traitor, who professing in words to be devoted to Ireland is not ready— ay, ready and steady, for weal or for woe, for good or for evil, for every extremity, however ghastly, to share the fate of O'Coimell I At the meeting of the Repeal Association oi£» Monday, the most prominent subject was a dh.pute between the Repealers in London. A section of that body were in rebellion against their Warden, Mr. W. J. O'Connell; and they threatened to call a public iLeeting at the National Hall, in Holborn, to lay their grievances before the public. Mr. O'Connell said, that if they did 60, their names should be expunged from the Association. The rent for the week was £338. — Spectator, August 2.
