Brown (Enterprise) and a fatigue party, composed of Mr. Court (seemed master)) and four seamen, accompanying them about 10 miles, set off in an easterly Caudal, MOM the lee, Irma Me eastern mauloo shore of Prince Regent's Inlet. They were absent seven days, and had exhausted all their peonsfoas we. they returned. They bad very bad weather, lethal that no nteervatioas could betaken, sad were obliged to steer by compass (Captain Catotes). The sun was only visible twice, yrest before midnight Lad jut before morning. They went armee to a place celled the Peak, a remarkable peaked hill in Pam's Mart. Hen they erected a cairn as testespienoulp as possible, and made the nasal deposits. On the sea out they found a remarkable difference as oom• =with the west coast. Oa lifting the stance on the most they fatted assail qualities of water. Half way across the inlet the lee was neriectly smooth ; bat towards the eastern shore the lea got so exceedingly rough and "hum mocky." that Mr. Brown was obliged to leave the sledges abort seven MINS off sh in, and picked thus up again on his return, after they erected the cairn, ere. la the passage back they tuffaed from the swow-drilt, sad the tomparatare was down to 12 below zero. They saw a dock of gulls, and se veral bear tracks, during their 4 spedition. During one night, or day rather, a bear must have passed close to tear resting. plus, do his tuck was fresh on the mow Round the teat when the party awoke. Sir Junes Ross returned to the ship ca the 23rd June, in the middle of the night, with only one day's provisions life They in re most glad to see him safe again, and all bands cheered heartily from both ships sells neared them. Captain Bird was beginning to be anxious about his worthy chief, and a party was ordered to be got ready to premed to meet him the day following, bad be sot returned. As it ass, a detachment was sent out to hie relief ea his appearing in sight. The gallant officer returned the same way he Went. A little time was now devoted to rest, relaxation, and du toilet, and as soon MUNI parties bad sufficiently recovered the cutting of the canal was eotamenced, the ships having in the mesa time been caulked sad refitted. The preens cf cutting through the ice was a most arduous ore. The libe bavieg been marked out by the officers, 16 fist and 18 feet ice saws were set to work with triangles, and eat on an average 200 feet in a day ; foe saws, and sometimes sin saws being employed at once, the ice being from three feet to five feet thick. The ships first ' L oved alittle down the canal about the Bth August, and the,, watching and seising every opportunity, they gradually got down to the entrance ; the ice in the inlet having receded emedderably from the harbour, created a little motion, which assisted in some degree in breaking ep the it, at the entrance of the harbour. On the 28th the snips got in open water, and stood out to the northward with the intention al going to Melville Island (as we have before stated) till the let of September, when on the momiug watch of that day, thisk weather prevailing, and the wind blowing hard, the ice gradually filled in all round, and finally encircled both ship—first the Enterprise, then the lanstigator, in spite of all her efforts to keep out. She at test took up •b. rib as near as she could to her consort, at about a mile. All communication was ken eat off, exc. pt by signal, and from this time the ships drifted perfectly heirless, until the 26th September, when they cleared the pack off Pond's Bay, having drifted about 240 miles. The aspect was *deed cheerless as they gradually spproached the western shore of Beffin's Bay, a cast which has proved fatal to so away whalers. On r.e 24th they bad a strati breeze, sad on Me 26th open water was observed at a distance of alma dsu at mix miles, and as soon lathe ice split ay sail was made spas both ships, and on the forenoon of the 26th, after crashing through the ice for about 36 hours, they succeeded in getting quite clear. The ships now stood right seems to the eastern shore of Baffin's Bay for the purpose of clearing the middle ice, and first saw the land October 3, which was the coast of Grit+ eland. called Sanderson's Hope, near Up• pernavitk. With *filing winds and thick weather, the snips now made the beat of their way southward, passing an immense multitude of gigantic icebergs, varying from 100 to 300 feet high, and from a quarter to half a mile in length. These tremendous bergs often cams between and threat ened the stips with destruction, and were a source of per. petual harass, often eliciting much apprehention from their c , lour, or rather their colourless appearance. It wu ba thed, a teak of no ceiling skill and ability sometimes to steer clear of 'but. On tee 25th the two ships first coin• municatad since they began to drift, and now joyfully exchanged elt eis of congratulation at their narrow escape. On the 18th they rounded Cape Farewell, and from thence had a good pump with strong westerly gales, till they made the Orkneys on the 29th ult. act' Scarborough the 3rd November. On Sunday, the 4th, they got a pilot, fresh beef, and vegetables—a great treat to all on board—and picked up this steamer off Lowestoft@ on Tcureday night, when from that time to Saturday they were employed is dragging (they cannot tow) the Enterprise te Puniest and the lemetigator to Woolwich, the latter reach ing Woolwich in the afternoon, and the former having been towed up yesterday morning. In the course of the voyage there were shot three bears, two or three reale, many swans, geese, and ducks, and more than 3,000 looms. The Tussle will be inspected this day by Commodore Eden. STATIONERS AND BTANPB.—Up to the 10th of October last any one hating • stamp seller's home scald buy at the proper dile. at Somerset-house any amount el stamps, from U. worth upwards, end receive (the stamps being always paid on the spot) a discount of 71 per Nat. upon recaps end 4j upon bill stamps. On the 10th of October a new regulation came into force, under which MSS less than 301. north of stamps con be bought at the ease, and the allowance upon receipt stamps is reduced to 11 per cent., while that upon bill stamps remains as before. In ausequenee of this change a large number of stamp dealers save dirsontinued Vs, oar of receipt stamps, end the public have been put to considerable inconvenience. It is easy to understand why the allowance on receipt should be larger than on bill stamps. The majority of re ceipt stamps are of much smaller amount; the money upended upon them is logger is being return d to the dealers; the sale of them requires more time and trouble. Practically the 71 per mat. left but a small profit to the seller. la say purchase be might make he would be allowed 6 per sent. fur east, so that, in feet, the entire margin loft Sur tredisg profit on the ale of stamps was 2j per mint. This, however, wee sallicient to compensate for trouble, and they were kept for the convenience of customers. The Ssamptiffice, or more probably the Stationer's officio, seems to have takes up the opinion that, for the future, shop keepers will he glad, for the convenience of their customers, to sell stasepswithout say profit, or even at a be.. Ti. shopkeepers see so more nation for laying out their money on stamps sad selling them without a profit, than for Belling note paper, or suing-wax, or pens, or ink, without a profit; many of them here, therefore, ceased to sell stamps. The nonsity of writing up " Liceased to sell stamps, ' and going for stamps to Sowerset-houv, and paying ready money for them, whilst travellers call to alien his orders for other articles, and they are sent home, end he boa credit for them, makes no difference in favour of stamps. The stationer does aot keep big shop open be the husesr of dealing with Somereetthouse. His business as a id= is to make a profit on everything ha sails ; and the donne of Stamps and Taus have no mows light to imps* that he will vend their gouda gratuitously, then Mardis and Co. have that he should sell their patent or Arnold his ink gratuitously. It is, doubtleas, for the advan tage that all public banners shall be as Amply as poseible ; but there is no reason that the pmegal public should expect a particular section of tie pats to do say work for them, however email, fee **Mtog. Bat this attempt to have stamps sold gralhitualy, or, in fact, at a lost to the seller, for it uses to that, must —it persevered in—work its own cure. Every difficulty thrown In the way of getting a receipt stamp is a pre mium upon such ingenuity and mutual osofidence as may avoid their use. And no doubt the ingenuity and confidence will get themselves to work soon and busily. Stamps are not • necessity of honest bonnets—they are a hindrance to it ; and it is by so masse impriasib:e, and that too in almost every rose without risk, to do without them. Customers will become cutest to see their aeounts marked " paid" in the shopkeeper's books, in proems of a witness: and a wit tiest can Lko the place of a stamp in a thousand instances. Then is nothing people are so unwilling . to undertake es trouble. If there be any trouble in procu ring receipt they wiliest their wits to work do with them, sad e rre% ✓isk. It is not to be expected that grocers, henna, drapers, bakers, and iron mourns, will keep • 301. stalk of gossip stamps in their desks, and be content with 11 pee mats for their mossy, whilst they might nuke lb of it. Shopkeepers will sot sell stamps for the Mistiest of h— and if people cannot have them for use just as they want them and near at hand, they will manage to do witheatthem. We do aot believe that math • poor attempt at auks will be persevered in after the feats really become known to soy member el the govethineat.

THE irsiricri ;GE - SIR JOHN FRANKLIN In addition to what we (M ruing Herald) have already published, we subjoin the following portion of some rough notes of the proceedings of Sir James Reads espeditka in search of Sir John Franklin : TM last mmouate from the expedition were from Upper amid:, oil du Danish °oasis'.

In the enures of a.ter days Bit James's predictions were verified ; the harbsur continued to freeze over, altetnately freezing and clearirg until about the 94th, when the ice became settled. The crew were now employed to cat a canal forty feet wide, leading in towards the north-east side of the batbour, and putt cud, by What , r's Feint, from any teary pressure of ice setting in from the inlet, or Emote.) Straits. This basboar was found to be most commodious end safe, with good ueptn of water sad sandy bottom. The ice was p. r fectly flat and lutes over with a* plain a surface u the Serpentine L. January. The ships were moored abreast each otb.r, about 200 yards apart. As soon as they were trues in, they were housed over from the forecastle to the mizeitmast, sad the anchors were weighed and stowed. Toe aims then commenced building a wall of snow seven lest high from one ship to the other, to facilitate communi cation, and the out thing was the erecting of au observatory for each ship for magnetic observations. They were com p ned entirely ot mow with plates of ice for the windows. They were 111 feet high land., end built of snow bricks owe loot thick and two hat long, cut out with a Gutless end well equated ehd trimmed, these little bum disp'sqing tasteful, !saw, and in some instances fentestie forms of atchitec• Lure. the wall olcommutdeation required great attention, from the accumulation of snow.

THE MILITARY AT NOTTINGHAM. The proceedinp of the court-martial on Monday last were interrepted in the wane of the foreseen, for about an hour, by the arrival of Bari Cadmus. Dario. this inter val the whole of the mss in barrack. were assembled for foot parade. The following scented of what took plass is from the Vottiephons Review at Friday : They (the men) were pared through the various ecsta tic's* under the eye of Earl Cathcart, who complimented the men on their appearance, end afterwards addressed them in a very impressive moaner. He said be bad been wait to look upon the 3rd Magoon Onside as a model to other regi meats is the service, bat sofortunately recent events had an some sort east • reflection on their good name. On this sub. feet he had had the honour to receive an autograph letter from the commander-lit-chief, which he read. Th:e eentemaieation was rather a lengthy one. It referred to the cense of the late istuburdinatioe ; namely, the amilsensent of the whsle regiment to barracks for nearly • week, for the fault of only a few, which the noble duke described in very strong language as being an arbitrary set, and contrary to aU military law, and qa^ted the regulations of the service relating thereto. His grace said CAL Arthur's conduct was wrong in every re• specs ; end one portion of the letter wee, if not verbally, yet in oedemas as follows - -. Nis orilisioy eases where one or more of the troops sp peer upon parade with appointments dirty and horses badly p. Gawk what I. the usual course ? Why extra drills and additional hosts for stable duty. Bat in this ease it MEN no such remedial nteuttres were adopted. There was no extra drill, so additional stable hours for the negligent; but every man in the regiment we+ confined like a prisoner for awl a whole week, including sons of the best and steadiest men in the service. If four, or six, or ten, or even 20 men had neglected their hoots t h at exact number only ought to have been Subjected to punishment; after each man had had his name properly entered in • report, and then only is the way described—not by a lengthened and hada elite confinement to Wrecks. Nay, if there had only been one steady and properly appointed man in the regiment, and all the rest fanny, that man ought to have been allowed the same indulgence as though the whole regiment were blame less. But a yet more serious fault was for the commending of ear, after so many of the privates had broken from bar racks, throne h an arbitrary act of 'his own, to send out picquts commanded by nos-commissioned clan. For a eesgeant-msjor to draw kis sword so anceremoniculy upon his own men insult I. cue is • thing quite unpualleled In the aerials of the army, and wu well calculated to provoke the almost unparalleled breach of &WOW* that followed." The Duke's letter, however, did not exculpate the men. It itdienatee that a departure from the proper and ordinary course by a commanding officer did not justify the men in adopting the line of conduct they bad done. They should hope taken a different course to remedy their grievances; but having suffered themselves to be betrayed into acts of in subordination, that had become unfortunately amenable to military law, and must therefore be tried and punished for theiroffences. After reading the letter, Berl Cathcart dismissed the regiment, expressing • wish that his next meeting with them would be under happier circumstances; On Tuesday raoraing the district court cloud, having arrived at • decision on the case of Peters. Ws learn that na general courts-martial are to be held, the commander-in chief having refuel to grant them, as the trial oy general court implies • greater amount of guilt than his Grace is willing to impute to the offenders is this cue. The know ,' ledge of this fact has caused the greatest satisfaction in the regiment. We also understand that application has been made for further district courts, which will In all likelihood ' be formed in the course of a day or two. RAILWAY MEETING. EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND JUNCTION. A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held en Thursday in Edinburgh, to receive • report as to the bygone proceedings and present state of the affairs, and to give directions for • further division of the fends. Captain B of Ury, ocepied the chair. Mr. WASITIR, the agent, stated, that at the last meeting of the shareholders' committee, a report was submitted by the agents on tho company's aliens up to the 15 h October last, which the committee dirt eted to be laid before the pre sent niceties as substantially their report. This docu ment (which was read at length by the agent), stated that the sum of 25e. was returned on 4,010 shares, which not only exhausted all the realised funds, but left a small deficiency, besides a claim of 1051. due to Mr. Miller, the consulting engineer. The only smog from which further toads could be reined was the claim of fts. par shin against the many allottees who bad out ' paid the deposit en their shares. It was en all bands agreed, than flemenis sown nothing considerable could be realised, ormdansrdingly, though more dm three years had elapsed, only • comparatively small sum bad been obtained. Of the X 6,000 original chores, the deposit was unpaid on 20,125, and as it was evident that nothing could otherwise be got, legal proceedings were resorted to against defaulters (two of whom were members of the provisional onansittee) ; but with so little success that no payment on 12,000 shares bad been received, and all of those shereXwere still (suntan& ing and unsettled. According to the accounts, It appeared that about 1,0261. had been recovered dace April 1846, be sides about 301. previously recovered end then divided ; but that there was a balance of oily 4451. in the hands of the wont* betosigiag to the shareheden, and this was subject to the expense which might be incurred after the report was pre. pared. The committee recommended that, in addition to the 25e. already paid, • further sum of 2s. be immediately retuned on each of the 4,010 shares, and that it be left to the option of each shareholder, either to accept of this sum as a final dividend, and be relieved of all further liability, or to accept of the dividend, and continue entitled to the advantages 'and subject to the liability of the future pro. endings. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the meeting approve of the proceed/up of the shareholders' committee, and re. sane to return an additional 2s. to the 4,010 shareholders, la terms of their recommendation. The matter, he said, was now brought into a very small compass, and he for one would est:Moly agree to take the 2s. as a final dividend. The probability wee that there would be mend to the litiga tion ; and even although they were stiocesefal they would perosps get nothing from the greater part of the shone's. Ater some discussion the resolution was usanimonsly adopted, and • committee was appointed to advise with tie agents in carrying on the proceedings against the defaulters. A vote of thinks was then passed to the shareholders' committee and to the chairman, after which the meeting I separated. x &max Cot:wins RAILWAT.—Aa improved system of oommunication in conjunction with the Midland Railway has, by order of the directors, come into operation upon this company's line, u regards transit net and west dating the present month.

TattelthattlhO AT • RAILWAY STATION.—At the Presort petty maims, on the 6th inst., James Brindle, a labouring man, was charged with tnestaseleg on the premiss of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, at the Raeford station, and refusing to quit when desired to do so. Mr. R. B. B Cobbett, who appeared for the company, stated that the defendant was charged under the 3rd and 4th Victoria, a. 97, a. 16, with persisting in remaining on the company's station after being requested to quit it, and with resisting tha company's °Seer on his attempting to ninon him. That as each cues were of frequent occurrence on that pert of the line, and caused great inconvenience and danger to the public, it was necessary that the law should be strictly enforced, in order to prevent a repetition of the ef fete*. The ease having been fully proved, the chairman (the Est. Mr. Beams) observed that this was a most serba offence, and that had the defendant been In a different station is life, the bench would have inflicted the highest sully, but believing him to he an ignorant and uneducated man he should be fined 40s, and costs, and Is default , palliest be Imprisoned for six week& OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM DUNGARVON.—Coecannen. When Sir M'chael O'Lnghlen was raised to the bench, Mr. John Power, of Garteen, a catholic com moner of large estates, beat Mr. Galway, at the poll on Feb. 16, 1837, by 283 to 164. Mr. Power pre ferred to figure on the turf to toiling in St. &spheres, and as be was step-son to Mr. Sheil, he felt that he was not far removed from a great orator, and con tentedly retired to private life, after a temporary en joyment of parliamentary honoure. The next whig candidate was oce whose recent and regretted demise pains us while we mention his name. This =as the Honourable Cornelius O'Callaghan, son of Lord Lismote. He was one of the most honest of the Irish whigs, and was really anxious to serve the country. His abilities were considerable, and he would have been eminent in politics, but for the phy sical difficulty of speckle g, his tongue having been too large for hismouth,ard his articulation being indistinct. Mr. O'Callaghan sat for DiusgFvan from 1867 to 1841. At the general election in the latter year he ceased to be member for the borough, and the reasons given by . kis near relatives for his loss of the seat are very curious. According to their amount, it would appear that Mr. Sheil was anxious to represent a borough, and desirous to give up the county of Tipperary, for which be had been returned in 1832. He said that he found it too expensive, perhaps too trouble some, and the whig orator thought at his time of life he might retire into a borough member "enteritis stipendiis." Fur it must be admitted that an Irish county member has no sinecure of his seat, especially) during the meeting of parliament. Mr. Shed suggested that Lord Lismore's family should con 'fe l the seat for Tipperary county, and as the O'Callaghan' were extremely popular there [ could be little doubt about their 01e05... But to this suggestion the O'Callaghan family demurred, and quietly r,marked that though Mr. Shell might at comparatively little pecuniary expense be M.P. far Tipperary, still that the O'Callaghan., with their large patrimonial property, would be sure to be harmed by claims of all kinds, and that a quantity of money would be spent from tune to time by Lord Lismore and his /312 upon the county. Therefore Lord Lismore proposed that Mr. Shell should not retire from Tipperary, and offered to contribute largely to the expense of the liberal constituency. The noble lord caloulated that, by subscribing 1,0001. for election expenses, he would be able to effect the return of Mr. Shell, while if his son stood, four or five times that amount would be necessary to meet the constant claims on the family. Mr. Shell, however, was probably anxious that he should be relieved from the dunning of a legion of plaoe-b:ggars dodging after him from club to club, and therefore coveted a quiet seat for a borough. Whilg matters were pending, and there being some ' uncertainty on the subject, the O'Callaghan family were surprised to read Mr. She it's address to the Dungarvan constituency, and they found) that he was actually a candidate for the seat, and some members of the O'Callaghan family were mach annoyed by the circumstance. Mr. Shell was easily returned for Dungarvan, as there was no excitement at this time in the country. CfConnell soon stirred up his lieges again, and the re p os' year of 1843, with its ruinous results to Irish liberalism, was the consequence. Mr. Sheil voted with O'Connell, in 1834, for diosolving the legislative anion. Bat times had changed, and Mr. Shell took counsel with the whigs and coquetted with the agitator. He lucerne volantary counsel on behalf of the prose• crated agitators, in 1844. But as the general I [ election of 1847 came on, there was proof given that Mr. Shell would not have a quiet , 1 re-election of it. The repeal camp was rent in twain by Old Ireland and Young Ireland. Ms.' Meagher had made his celebrated " sword speech," and a largo number of the repealer. had disclaimed abhorrence of "the sword" while they professed the same feeling for a whig placeman. The O'Connellite party temporised, not being willing to act harshly towards Mr. Shell. They said that they could not see a candidate anywhere eligible to be pet up in of position to the brilliant whig orwer. Ne:son at Copenhagen put the telescope to his blind eye, and declared his inability to see the Admiral's stool to cease firing, and a temporary ophthalmia seized the O'Connellites whenever they looked to Dungarvan. But all would not do. The popular party resolved that a candidate should be foiled, and after waiting fur some time to see whether another candidate would appear, Mr. John Francis Maguire started as repeal candidate for Dungarvan. Mr. Maguire was a member of the Irish bar—the proprietor of an influential p)pular newspaper—the Cork Examiner—a journal which zealously advocated repeal fur many years, and was avowedly . a catholic organ. He had commercial cionnexions in the city of Cork, and, as a very efficient and fluent popular speaker, had obtained considerable personal poptila rity with the masses of the repeal party. With some p olitical allies and personal friends, he started for Dungarvan two or three days previous to the time of nomination. Mr. Shell bad hoped to tide over the difficulty, and he expected that he would not have been earaestly opposed. While sitting in his hotel he heard some noise outside the window,and found that a petite comedie was being acted under his arpartment. A noisy crowd were screaming with laughter as three speakers kept up a concerted dialogue. One of them had a large brick of bread stuck up on tae top of a pole, and he was asked, " What's that on the pole, Tom ? " "Why, you fool, don't you see that it's a brick of bread." " Troth, 'tis not," in terposed a third ; " that's a splendid phantom." Mr. Shell had old recollections of the stage, and be was se tickled with the humour that he involuntarily clapped his hands, and cried, "Capital electioneering —capital electioneering." The day of election came, and it was a remarkable sight to see the old popular leader—the comrade of O'Connell, the meet brilliant, if not the most formid able, of Irish ex-demagogues, a man whose name had been for thirty years prominent—opposed upon a hustinp, not by a conservative, a tory, but by a young repeal barrister. The hustings address of Mr. Shell was looked for with anxiety, but never did the most prejudiced tory ex perience so contumacious a reception as was given to the once popular tribune. Scarcely was he al lowed to articulate a word, his voice being drowned in an uproar of noise. On the other hand, an en thusiastic reception was accorded to Mr. Maguire,who delivered a most animated and highly effective die °ours* to the electors, in which he read out portion. of Mr. Shell's speech for repeal in 1834: as each pas sage was read by Mr. Maguire, the brilliant ex-re peeler would exclaim, "A shot—Sir—s clean shot, by Jove." At the poll Mr. Shell was returned by a majority of sixteen, the numbers having been 161 to 136, and it was generally be lieved, even by Mr. Shell's friends, if Mr. Maguire had started a week sooner, that he would have been elected. Recollecing the official and ter ritorial influences used for Mr. She% and the vigour of the contest he had to encounter, we are justified in pronouncing_ Dangarvan to be en independent What the result may be at the next election, we cannot, of course, say, for it is rumoured that Mr. Maguire will again aspire to the representation of Dungarvan on popular principles.

At the resumed public sittings of th e Encumbered Estates Commission, yesterday, the proceedings (re ported below) were interesting as being the tint at which counsel pleaded, and developing somewhat of the working of the commission. The court, to all ap pearance, was similar to any others in the hell ; the commissioners were addressed by the titltalordships," and it would seem that they are to have not only enough of business to transact, but abundance of liti gation too. The chief commissioner stated that when a fraudulent trans teflon came before them they would not hesitate to deal with the matter u if they were a court of equity, and so much of their business will be entangled with proceedings in Chancery, that it will be impossible to avoid very tedious delays, and very weighty expences in the greater number of cases. Mr. John O'Connell has addressed a long letter to Mr. Bright, through the newspapers, complimenting him very highly upon the important a comprehensive speech recently delivered by him at Manchester on the condition of Ireland. That eloqueet and powerful statement of the distinguished English fiez-trader has, indeed, received the strongest commendations from men of all parties, and has done mach to convince people here that Englishmen may entertain most just and accurate views upon the state of Ireland. ENCUMBERED ESTATES• COMMISSION. On Friday the COMMA , SWIMS Sat in the Nis. Prim Court to hear applications !tweeting petitions presented nadir the 131 TBI IdArFll OF WILLIAM WILLIAM. CAR' AND ANN' CAB' —ln this ease the petition for sale had beam dismissed, and Messes. Napier, Q C., sni Lowry appease; to sustain it. It appeared that a cause had been issatitutiA is the Court of C . and a decree had been made by the Lord Chancellor, which decree it was sought, under the provisions of the Encumbered Estates Act, to transfer t 3 the Commission. The Commissioners were of opinion that, the proper patties not having been all broughi before thi Court of Chaneery, the petition could not be woceeded upon under the Commission. The Chief Commissiater stated that 'though the jubilation of this court bad reference to the effecting of sales only, yet that whenever, ineidently the question of a deed being fraudulent or not arose, the Com missioners would not shrink from deciding it. In the pre sent cue, however, he did not think that the circumstances would justify the eommissionen in acting on the petition. Ye advised the fides of a supplemental bill in Chancery, in order that the opinion of that court might be had upon the validity of a certain deed in question, and thus a conflict between the two jus 'lateness be avoided, inasmuch u the ponies, having settled their rights in Chancery, might then come before the commission tot the esle of the estate. His lordship accordingly made no rule on the motion. Mr. Lowry applied to the court on behalf of the solicitor for the petitioner, that the court would order that the document. which hid been lodged with the petition should be re turned, for the purpose of carrying on the proceedings in Chancery. The meneniasioner stated that in this, and similar cues, all the documents, except the petition itself, would be returned.

MURDER OF A SOLDIER IN ENNISKILLEN.-011 Monday morning last, an inquest was held in the Castle Barrack on the hotly of John Grace, corporal of the 67th. Regiment, before Captain Fawcett, coroner. On Thursday night last a number of civilians attended the amateur per ',nuance of the 67th Regiment, in the Castle Bernick, which taker place twice each month for the amusement er the garrison atm the inhabitants in general. It appears that a young man named M•Keeran was in the theatre, and being drunk and disorderly was asked to leave it. M'Keegan accordingly did so, and, on his going out of the barrack gate, said, " If I had him (meaning Corporal Wilson) outside he would never put me out again." The deceased corporal was also at the theatre, and left it for the purpose of getting a drink of milk, whoa he was followed by M'Keegan, and stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp instrument, (rem the effects of which be liegered until Monday morning, when death terminated his suffericgc.—Ferruartagh Mail.
