IRELAND .

Leave was obtained on Friday week in the Common Pleas Court , D ublin , by Mr . Vincent Scully , oae of the defendants , to put in certain new pleas , one of which . ' , that by the deed of settlement under which the co-partnership was est ablished , certain powers of transfer were given to each
shareholder , and that under these powers Mr . V . Scully was legally entitled to make the transfer of his shares , which he did make in 1855 , long before the failure of the bank . Another of the new points calls in question the legality of the Stamp-offi . ce return of the bank under which Mr- Scully was held liable . —Mr Simon Armstrong , oae of the original shareholders , and also set down by Messrs .

already carried into effect . We read in the Times Paris correspondence : — " The houses comprised between the Hue de liainbuteau and the Rue Grene ' ia are about to be demolished for the continuation of the Boulevard de Sebastopol : To obtain possession of these houses , the inunici £ 3 tility has been obliged to treat with no fewer than three hundred persons , owners or occupiers . Of these , one hundred have accepted the offers which ifc made ; the other two hundred , demanding larger indemnities than it was disposed to grant , appealed to a jury ; They were accordingly divided into two batches , one a hundred and eighteen in number , the other eightytwo ; and a jury has assembled , under the direction of a judge of the Civil Tribunal , to fix the indemnities to be paid to the first batch . The claimants own or occupy the houses destined for demolition in the Rues
liambirteau , St . Magloire , Quincampoix , St . Denis , Salle au Comte , aux Ours , Neuve Bourg l'Abbe , Bourg l'Abbe , Petit Hurleur , and the Impasses des Pein ti-es and Beaufort . The occupiers , chiefly traders , repi-osented in support of their demands that they were subjected to enormous expense by being obliged to renxove . A wooldealer , for example , who occupied premises in the Rue Bourg l'Abbe' at 3000 fr . a year , proved that he had been obliged to take others in the Itua St . Bon at 9000 fr . Many of the claimants alleged , too , that , in . addition to increased rent , they were subjected to most serious inconvenience by being under the necessity of transferring their places of business from the centre to distant parts of the town . The demands amounted , ia the whole , to l , 78 G , C 25 fr . ; the offers of the municipality to 996 , 800 fr . ; and the jury accorded 1 . 451 , 000 fr . "
The Daily N ~ eius and Punch have again been seized . MMT . Cousin and Legendre , diroctoi's of the Xapoleon Docks , are in custody at Paris , on a charge of having appropriated to their own use large sums belonging to the company . They carried on a joint-stock bank , the affairs of ' which were mixed up with those of the docks . The deficit of Cousin and Legendre , as far as has been ascertained , is 0 , 498 , 655 francs . The fatal facility with Avhich supplementary credits to the budget have lately been granted by Imperial decree , reducing the votes of the Corps Legislatif to amere
idle form , has at length attracted so much attention that it has been thought necessary to propitiate public opinion by imposing some sort of check upon them . A decree , dated November 10 , appears in tlie Jfoniteur , by which it is ordained that , after January 1 , 1857 , no supplemental or extraordinary credit sha . ll be granted while -the Corps Legislatif is not sitting , except by the advice of the Council of State , the Finance Minister having been in every instance first consulted , and countersigning the decree allowing the credit . — Dally News Paris Correspondent . .
Some of the Paris papers within the last few days have been speaking with remarkable boldness on the subject of the restrictions put upon the press . The Conslittttionnel having attacked the boldness of the English press , which has recently , according to the Imperial writer , been casting calumnies on the French Government and nation—and having asserted that 35 , 000 > , 000 Frenchmen are prepared to uphold the existing state of things in their own land—tlie Gazette da France observes : — We can see but one reasonable conclusion to be drawn from this article—namely , that the veyime adopted with regard to the press does not in practice produce the advantages expected by those who established it . Although the esprit de j ' roiule is now reduced to show itself in other ways than by publicity , it docs not , if we are to believe the Cciistitutioiuid , exercise an inuuence upon' opinion . It is now accused of having imbued the masses with it 3
inventions and calumnies , and having iiUlltered its venom into LVench society as well as into the foreign press . It is questionable whether the system of liberty of the press , had it remained in force under a strong" government , would have produced , such dangerous results as these . It is even permissible to think that the ' false news ' which the Constitutionnel complains would have met with , less credit if it had passed through the ordeal of a * free discussion before reaching tlie ears of the public . " The Siecle speaks to tho same effect ; und the Assemble Nationulc doubts the alleged ' culumnies' of the English press , adding : — " We have never read , either iu tho English or German journals , tho attacks which have irritated tho Coiistiiutionnel . But it has very often happened that foreign newspupors addressed to us have miscarried , and possibly , it may be thoso very missing numbers which contained tho statements that haves caused so much emotion .

CO ^ TIXENTAL KOTES . . ¦ ¦¦¦; : ¦ . . ¦ '" . - FrtAXCE . '¦ .. ' ¦; ¦ • ; ¦ TriK Swiss General Dufuurhas arrived in Paris , charged by the Federal Council with ' a mission to the French Government relative to the differences . bctwecu 2 \ cufchatel and Prussia . " The French Government is determined to set its face against the Russian railroads . I am informed , " says the Times Paris correspondent , " that it has been intimated to the scmi-omciul journals that they are not to publish advertisements relating to these railroads . The same journals will probably soon open a rolling fire against the undertaking . The cause of this hostility will be attributed to the fact that the railroads are less with a view to commercial advantages than fur strategic purposes . "
The AssembleeRationale has the following observations relative to the English alliance : — " ¦ We repeat once more that we are partisans of the English alliance , and sincerely desire its maintenance ; but the English alliance will never lead us to forgot that , at an epoch which is not very remote , in the reign of Louis XVI ., the united fleets of Franco and Spain were mistresses of the Channel , and blockaded the English in their own ports . And as it is not the destiny of States to conclude eternal alliances , and as events , which cannot be anticipated by human wisdom , . may produce in the future combinations that have been witnessed . in tho past , such as a war between France and her neighbours beyond tho Channel , we express our hopes that in this contingency the French navy would be enabled , with tho assistance of an ally , were that ally even Russia , to counterbalance the power of Great Britain on the sea . "
lho JSiccIe , the consistent advocate of the English alliance , remarks , in answer to the grounds usually assumed by the advocates of a Russian alliance—viz ., that there is greater sympathy between the Governments of Franco and Russia than , between tho former and that of England : — " Certainly the French Government , ' by exceptional laws , which it has not yet revoked , departs from tho English traditions in favour of theoretical and practical liberty ; but it must not be forgotten that tho constitution of 1 S . J 2 lias for express busea the principles of 1789—that is , of the devolution—and that in tlie
oyos of Europe all the Governments of Franco which are not legitimate are revolutionary . Now , tho Revolution can only find an ally in itself . There lies its only chance of salvation , as the Emperor admitted at St . Helena . Tho kings smile upon it only in order to deceive it with tho greater case . Tho Revolution has no other hopo than in nations , und in . order to reach those nations which arc still enslaved ifc must iirst loan itself on froo nations with sincerity and perseverance .

The war steamer Guerrero was sent in pursuit .
Mr . Griffith , the British Charge d'Affaires at Bogota , has suspended diplomatic relations with the Government of New Grauada , in consequence of the latter refusing to carry into effect an agreement some time since entered into for the settlement of the claim of a British subject , Mr . James Mackintosh . Mr . Griffith called together the English residents on the 8 th ult ., and stated to them what had occurred , and that Mr . Mark , the consul , would give them all needful protection during the suspension of diplomatic relations . The British Government , wearied with the repeated instances of breach of faith on the part of the ifew Granadian Government towards English subjects for many years past , has determined to bring matters to a point by the pressure of a blockade of the coast .
The town of La Paz , Lower California , was almost entirely destroyed by a hurricane on the lGth of October .: . . lives were lost ; but all the vessels lying , in the harbour were driven ashore and wrecked / ' and the houses which were spared by the ' wind-were washed away by the tide .
