A CoumesucArtmt ham been received in Dublin by Sir Edward Borough, Bart. from Balmoral, in which Colonel Phipps, by command of the Queen, ex presscs the deep interest felt by her Majesty and his !toyed Highness Prince Albert in the success of the efforts now made to establish a model lodging-house for f:unilies in the Irish metropolis, and states that if the benevolent project should receive general sup • port her Majesty and his Royal Highness would head the stibsenption list with the sum of :Intl/. AN OFFICIAL LETTER from Lord Palmerston to the Lord Mayor of Dublin communicates her Majesty's entire satisfaction with all the arrangements made for her reception on the otrasion of her late ‘isit." 'no; CONTEST FUR LISDURN Will be between two candidates of the sonic name. Mr. Jonathan Itichardson, of Lambeg, before whom Mr. Hogg re tired, is a worthy Conservative; his opponent, Mr. .lonathan Riche:4llmm, of the Island, a Mintsterialist. THE DISMISSAL. of the master and schoolmaster of the Coleraine workhouse has been ordered by the Poor Law Clumniss loners. This step has been taken in consequence of a report furnished by the in spector, Colonel Clarke, that on the Pah of July last a number of pauper children connected with the workhouse had marvhed iu procession, decorated with yellow ribbons, and having party flags, and that this was done with the sanction, authority, and in pre sence of the acting master and schoolmaster. The guardians of the union, annoyed at the treatment Ableb their semen have experienced, have re quested the Poor Law Commissioners to suspend their judgment till they can hold an investigation. THE U LATER TES. ANT. RIOHT P EN' TlEs met at New - townards on Tuesday, and resolved to renew the agitation throughout the cuing. SATURDAY, A' SAILORS' HOME" is about to be established at Queenstown, with the co-operation of Rear-Admiral Carroll, K.C.B. Owiso to the extensive emigration which has taken place from the Irish constabulary. and the difficulty of obtaining recruits for the service of the required capacity, the authorities have decided upon milting certain additions to their pay and allowances. Is consequence of the appearance of cholera in England, steps are about to be taken by the Dublin Sanitary Association to prepare for the visitation in that city. SOME RAIN has fallen during the week in many localities of Ireland, but not so as to interrupt the progress of the sickle. The great bulk of the grain crops is now saved. The potato disease is extend ing, and has assumed a serious type during the past few days. The quantity produced this season was, however, immense. The provincial accounts re specting the harvest continue favourable. THE INCREASE OF WAGES for agricultural labourers has become very general, in consequence of the pres sure to complete harvest work. In the county of Limerick two shillings per day is freely given ; and in Galway, where wages had been extremely low, that sum is allowed in some districts where labourers are very scarce. The farmers, however, are now well able to pay the advanced rate. It is stated by a Limerick journal as a remarkable fact, that "Cork millers are grinding wheat for the French Govern. ment." I''LAX PRODUCE AND MANUFACTURE are beginning once more to attract a large share of attention in Ireland, and the new mode of preparing tiax from the green straw, invented by Mr. Davy. of Crediton, has been brought under notice with good effect. PnEt.irEs assembled at the late Synod of Thiirles have unanimously decreed that the College of Thurles—at present a monastic school on a large scale—is henceforth to be denominated the " Pro vincial College for Munster." This, it is presumed, is meant as a blow at the Queen's College in Cork. THE DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN RAILWAY COMPANY have organised a system of return tickets and cheap fares for the accommodation of visitors to the Indus trial Exhibition. ADvices FROM ADELAIDE, South Australia, to the Ist of dune describe a constant advance in the value of land. The town lots put up by the Government were sold as fast as they could be offered. The revenue of the colony was rapidly increasing, anti was expected to show a balance of 62,010. at the end of the year, exclusive of the amounts received for land sales, which were going on at the rate of 28,0001. a month. Under these circumstances, an addi tional sum of 15,000/. had just been transmitted to the Emigration Commissioners in London for the introduc tion of labour, although the colony had then 141,000 f. in the hands of that body. With regard to agricultural opera tions, it is stated that the ploughing of land was going on most satisfactorily, and that, owing to the stimulus of recent prices, the next hervest was expected to be very large. THE CANS or PAtus.—ln Paris, when you hire a cab, the driver presents you with a ticket as you enter his vehicle!, and upon this ticket is printed the tariff of the oarriages and the number of the cab. Many of the drivers are now in the habit of giving a little book containing some ten or a dozen paws of advertisements, the cover only being devoted to the utu.rber and tariff. As every carriage delivers about twelve numbers per day, the total of the number of books distributed by the 1,200 carriages amounts to 14400 a day, or 432,01 W) per month, and 5,1[44,00 per annum. It may not be uninteresting to add the exact tariff HOW in force for public carriages in Paris. It appears that cabs holding four persons, either with one or two horses. are entitled to If. 5 sous tone shilling) for the journey, to whatever length that journey may extend within the harrier, and If. 15 sons for the hour; increased at night to If. I:, sons for the ourney. or 10 sous the hour. Large carriages wit h two horses receive If. 10 Fetus per journey, or 2f the hour. There is a higher charge for anperior carriages (tie remitte), answering to out dye. This Motif extends to all places within the harriers round Paris—e slight addition is trade for the journey beyond this limit. The rule as to baggage is that all drivers are to receive on the carriages. without any addition to the price fixed, such baggage and packages of travellers as, from their weight, size. anti nature. can be placed thereon It will thus be seen that the tariff in Paris is much lower than that adopted iu London, since a driver of a cab equal iu every respect to a Isitelon cab may have to go front one end of Paris to the other for the sum of one shilling. At every stand there is an utiieur appointed to superintend the carriages. which are at all times clean and in good condition. The drivers are en gaged at a regular salary by the owners of cabs. and it' a long journey is taken it is usual to give the driver two sons, or one penny. for himself. and this is quite sufficient to satisfy hint and to secure his civility. Ax EXCITINii RACE TO AUSTRALIA is now in progress by the departure from London of a }WWI ship. intended to compete with the celebrated American Sorereign aj the Seas. 'ibis vessel is the fiansetki, owned by James Smith. jun.. Esq.. of Tower-chambers. She sailed front Gravesend at 2 p.m. on Monday. and passed Deal at 7 p.m. Ott the same principle that is adopted by the Royal Yacht Cluh l the difference in tonnage between the Gatihtlei and the Sovereign of Ike Sear should make a difference in the pas sage to Australia of about four days, the former vessel being 093 tons, while le latter is 2400.
