IRELAND.

Tar Texant-Leacur Movement.— The Monaghan demonstration came off on Tuesday at Ballibary, and was the most remarkable meeting, in point of numbers, that gould be remembered in the annals of the northern province. Un- like the previous gatherings in the south, hundreds of the better class of farmers, Protestant and Roman Catholic, were present, and arrived on the ground marching rank and file in good order, the bands of music playing altegnately the spirit-stirring airs of “Garryowen” and “The Boyne Water.” The speeches were of the usual sitaple—sufficiently “exciting,” without going beyond the limits allowed by law.

Writs have been issued fron the Ha- naper office for the election of a tempora! peer of Ireland in the room of the late Earl of Dunraven.

Dr. Gray, Proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, and his brother Mr. Wilson Gray, have seceded from the Irish Tenant League, on the ground of the dangerous responsibility which arises from the system of organization now finally adopted by the League.

Forrien Items.—The news from France is without interest. It is said the French ministry will recommend the im- mediate revision of the constitution to the Representatives of the people. To prepare the country for this measure, several popular measures are to be brought forward among these: A loan institution for the benefit of the working classes; the establishment of hospitals for civil invalids; of agricultural coun- cils; and such like.

Angry notes continue to be exchanged between Austria and Prussia respectng the lesser states of Germany. The elec- tor of Hesse has, through General Hay- nau, fulminated fresh decrees against the inhabitants, the end of which, if these martial laws are to be persevered in, will be to create fresh revolutions in Germany, as Mecklenburg, Schwerin, and their atates are quite ripe for revolution.

Riot BETWEEN Bracks ann Waites

Philadelphia, Oct.6.—A riot between blacks and whites occurred last night, at) the corner of 7th and Lombard streets, which terminated in a white man Ripple, being stabbed and horribly mutilated. He died while being carried to the sta- tion-house. The watchmen, while ac- companying him, were fired upon by blacks.

A LEAK.

In its zeal to praise the late Lieutenant Governor, the Royal Gazette of Tuesday last contains an admission which looks very much like a leak. It informs us that to the Blue Book of 1848 a report upon the state of the Colony was appended by the late Sir Donald, which afforded ain- ple testimony to “ his unwearied indus- try, correct judgment,” and so forth, Now the Blue Book for that same year (1848), was laid before the Assembly at their request, and no such report appear- ed in connection with it. If the Gazette’s| information then is correct, what are we to infer from it? Why surely this—that the report in question contained statc- ments and assertions which it might not be safe for Sir Donald Campbell to sub- mit to the notice of the Legislature. If any other inference can be drawn from the incautious admission of the Gazelte, we trust our royal brother will point it out.

THE MAILS.

“ It is understood,” says the Islander, “that the government has assumed the responsibility of forwarding the Mails to Nova Scotia as usual.” Does the Islan- der mean to insinuate by this,that Govern- ment has guaranteed the Deputy Post Master General in the expense to be entailed by this service? because if it does, the insinuation is false.
