Ireland.

The name of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, who, with two other prelates and about thirty clergymen in the dioce&e have declared "in favor" of the Bequests' bill, was hissed at a public meecmg held in Dublin. Archbishop Crolly, the Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, had written a letter to O'Connel, expressing regret and surprise that the Liberator should have piononnced the letter addressed to him by the Propaganda, enjoining the Irish Ca tholic Clergy to abstain fiom political agitation, " not a canonical document." The entire letter has been published by the Primate. A resolution hart been passed by a Commttiec of the Repeal Association, calling upon the Irish members not to attend in their places in the House of Commons during the present bession. Mr. O'Connell declared that he was for non-attend-ance, on the principle that if the English Parliament had a mind to do good for Ireland, the absence of the Ijish members would not prevent them, as no evil could be prevented by their presence, the numbers being so considerable against them. The Attorney General, IVLr. T. B. C. Smith, had left Dublin for London ; his alleged promotion to the bench is now denied. It has been rumoured in Ireland, for some time past, that Dr. Murray was to be raised to the rank of Cardinal and take up his residence at Rome. A letter which appeared in a late Dublin Monitor confirms the report. His Holiness the Pope is nearly eighty yeai t> of age, and by the tast letters received he was in a very bad state of health, and strong doubts were entertained as to his recovery. It is also stated that the Right Key. Bishop Denvir is about to proceed to Rome on the paitof his brother commissioners (Drs Crolly and Murray), to lay before his Holiness the real etate of the Catholic Bequests question, and the agitation to which it has led The expenses of the •' monster trial," tt is now ascertained, ranged between £24,000 and 2S,000: nearly one-half of which was swallowed up by the costs of the agents for the travorsers. The Eighty-two Club has been formed. It is to facilitate the repeal oftheunion— to secure the establishment of the legislative independencies of Ireland; and, as a means for the attainment of these ends, to encourage Irish manufactures, art, andliteiature, todiii'usethroughsoi-iety a national and much better feeling among all The Club is to dine together on the anniversary of the Declaration of Legislative Independence in 1782 give an annual ball, and wear agieen body coat with velvet collar, v\ hite skii t linings, and gilt buttons, inscribed " 1752," in a wreath ot shamrocks, while tabinet vest, green pantaloons, uniform with coat, in winter, and white duck in summer, patent 1 earlier bools, white kid gloves, and black [satin cravat, subject to changes by the committee, and all of Irish manufacture.

I Disturbances in Tipperary. — The Western portion of Tipperaiy was in amost lawless state; and some of the Roman Catholic cleigy are making creditable ex ertions to suppress ci ime by holt] ing townJand meetings and denouncing the agrarian legislators. The " Head Pacificator," too, is pi) ing his vocation, as will be seen by the following characteristic document: — " The man who commits a crime gives strength to the ememy, — O'Connell. "The Sbijoiiized disturbers of Tipperaary are doing their woik for Peel and Wellington — for the projectors of a massacre of the Irish people at Clontarf — and for those who, by iniquitous legal machinations, imprisoned O'Connell, tiie father and benefactor of his country. "Thomas Steele, •'O'Connell's Head Repeal W<nden and Head Pacificator of Ireland. "Roscrea, Jan. 27, 1845." Mr. St^ele had large copies of this placard posted on the sides of a chaise-and-fonr, in which he drove, and <\ large laurel bough bound in black crape was exhibited from the windows. A correspondent of the Dnhlin Evening Mail. recounts a murder which frightfully illustrates the state of Ireland. A protestant family named Shepherd had taken a farm of Mr. Fawcett, near Balliboy in King's County, from which a Catholic family uamed Daly had been ejected. The Shepherds, who seem to have been three brothers received a notice warning them not to lake possession, if they valued their lives. "When they proceeded to the lands, a second notice was served upon them to the same effect. But being a numerous family and nothing daunted they provided themselves with arms and ammunition and took possession; tln-ir first ptecaution being to make the roof of the house fire proof outside with ela\, and then bonny yun holes through different parts oj the wall ; and while at work in the day time, one brother standing sentinel with loaded arms; while the others were employed." Ambrose, one of the brothers went off on Wednesday oi Thursdayweek, to fetch a cartload of furniture and Ms family. On his return, he saw the horses straying about and the door partly shut. He called to his brothers, but they did not answer; and fearing to ente.i the house, he ran to the next police station for aid. The house wus entered, and one brother was found tying in it, his head smashed by a spade ; and all the arms had been taken away. The body of the other brother was not found till Saturday, it was lying in a ditch ; the head also smashed. A Coronei's Jury have returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against " some person or persons at present unknown."
