IRELAND.
If the accounts from Limerick are to be credited, the marvellous comet of 1556, after an absence of just three centuries, has made its predicted re-appearance in the south of Ireland. : Accounts from Cork announce that on 'August 2nd, the squadron which .left Queenstown about a fortnight since arrived in the harbour, and came to anchor. During the whole of Sunday, crowds poured down in every successive train and steamer to visit those noble specimens of naval architecture, and were received with great politeness on board the Duke of Wellington, which, from the repute of its stupendous dimensions, proved the principal object of attraction.
Mr. James Frederick Hartley, eldest son of the late distinguished Q..C. of that name, and called to the Irish bar in 1847, set out last week en route for Australia. The emigration of such a man is looked on in Ireland as one of the " signs of the times."
