Meanwhile the Reform preacher from Baiter mime in, and seeing the pulpit occupied thought that some t. &fuel brother" from a distance had cone to nines Isla of his duty. He accordingly took a stet, and heard the Conference preacher's disunite throughout, which was doubtless Due of great unction end power.

A section of the tories of Armagh have invited Mr. George Dunbar, a connexion of the Primate Beresford, to offer himself foe the vacancy in the re presentation of that city. The farewell banquet, which wee to have been given next week to Mr. C. G. Duffy, M.P., previous to his departure for Australis, has been abandoned, at the earnest reqeest of that gentleman, owing to the present dangerous illness of his friend, Mr. F. Lucas, M.P. The following resolutions were adopted yesterday by the dinner committee : That the eoutalttee. ea wassideratios of Mr. Duffy's letter, have with great regret end reins:canoe come to the musclusion of yielding to hie request, and acentliegly have to announce that the farewell banquet will not take place. It is their painful duty to joie in hie 'mummies of deep and sincere sorrow for tba dangerous illness of that distin guished cod gifted man. the honourable member for Meath ; end to mark their sincere etpreciation of his motives-- motives honourable alike to the warm friendship and to the disinterested public services which have so long united the names of Charles paean Duffy and Frederick Lucas. That this committee cannot separate without placing upon 'warden (I:prosaism, however imperfect, of their sense of the once, arduous, and useful public life which Charles Gavin Duffy has led—of the fidelity, the courage, iategrity, and patience—the useelfish spirit, the untiring energy, and the noble &batting with which he served his country, and of the inestimable loss which hie departure is to the literature and the public affairs of Ireland. That his career in another land may be happy, prosperous, and blessed—and that at no distant day he may be restored to a country Whose grati tude and respect for his name neither time nor distance shall diminish, is their prayer. KINGSTOWN AND DAMES RAILWAL—The open ing of this tine for traffic was announced by public adver tisement to tote paw on Thtraday, but It ie to be regretted that, owls, to some canoes of disagreement between the two companiee connected with the railway, the commthica non (*elven Kinptown end Dathey, which has been so lons interrupted, to the inconvenience of the inhabitants and the nubby, is not likely to be fully restored for some time longer. A train left Da!key at two o'clock yesterday for Kingstown, but, to the apparent surprise and disap pointment of the passengers, on arriving titers they found that the gates of the terminus were locked against them, so that they bad no way of getting out. The only alternative which remained was to reverie the nein, which was accord ingly done, and soma of the pwenge►s wars brought back to Delhi, while others, with the help of ladders, Reneged to get across the wall at Kingstown. The sass performance was repeated at intervals daring the day, and, by its novelty, afforded considerable aninseneet, as well as astonishment, to the bystanders.--Dublin Deily Ezpreas. MR. LUCAS, M.P. The following letter has been written by Mr. Lucas on his bed of granges, to his 81,10, Father Tom O'Shea : " Staines, September 28. " My dear Father don't know whether I am glad or sorry that your notion of my disorder is so mistaken. The truth is, that it is pretty fairly spread over most of the organs of my body—that I am now safferieg under enlarged heart, bronchitis, congested liver, inert kideeys, a stomach that refuses food, mama that forbids sleep, and, to mown all, the dropsy. As Sidney Smith says is one of hie lettere, ' I have seven or eight complaints, but in all other respects I am perfectly well.' In plain and so►er seriousness, my deer Father Tom, I have given up all hopes of life, have re ceived the last sacraments, end though, perhaps, not Mums. distil; to die, for this is in God's head, yet I have now Ito other basin.s than to make the bust preparation I can for the judgment vat of the Almighty, sad to request all the prayers of my friends to help me through this fearful pas. sage, which I hope may be from death to life. Thank God, I have as wish to live. I ask he no prayers for restoration to health. I have never valued life very much, and now lets than ever. Dear Father Tom, it would be a great *mum* for me to see you again before I die. We have fought many a battle together, at your imminent peril, and I n found in you less than the courage of a hero, perfect unselfishness, seal untiring, and a devotion to the cause of God and the poor which it will be difficult to surpass. Now, when perhaps 1 am presently to stand face to face with my Creator sad Redeemer,' esteem it an honour to have fought so ofuen by your side; and though I do not regret for a eito sent that my stations have tended to shorten my life, I do most bitterly regret that your nobleness and heroism have brought on you so sad a permeation. However, my dear Father Tom, let me say to you, and to our friends of your diocese, not to be mist down or disheartened. As sure as God is in H your cause is the cause of truth and hu.nour ; and when your last hoar comes, you wid all feel what emaciation it gives a man never to have !brshed in the worst of times—as I may say of you—or given way in the public service to selfish personal oonsidera tine. My dear Father Tow, I would give a little world to press your hand once more, sad to naive your blessing. Make my kindest adieus to all our friends, particularly to Father Reiff*, your good brother, the Archdeacon, Father Aylward. ear friends in Tipperary, and my most worthy cud venerated friend, the Archdeacon of Itatbkeale. Your businessom far ea it depends on my statement, is not yet quite complete. lam sorry for it, but I have dose my cost; and I have left such Instructions as I hope will tura to the best account what I hove been able to do. If I die you will hear through one of my friends how the matter stands; at present I can add no more than that I am, my dear Father Tom, most affectionately yours, "F. Luo.u."

The sergeant said he was positive that if he had moved he should have been a dead man. The prisoner his only been twelve months in the 99th; he came from the Cape Mounted Rifles; he has been on two former occasions oonvicted by the civil powers. The prisoner was found guilty of the crime of *Dinh he was aimed, which subjects him to be shot. The decision of the court will not be known until the proceedings are eon firmed at the Rom Oneida.

EXHIBITIONS. MR. FENTON'S PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEWS IN THE CRIMEA. This exhibition has become a special favourite, as we prognosticated would be the case in our notice of the private view of its contents, six to seven hundred persons visiting the gallery daily at this slack season of the year, drawn thither by the certainty of seeing truthful repretrutations of the human beings engaged in, and the scenes connected with, perhaps, the meet momentous struggle that has ever yet taken place OS earth. Among the distirgnished persons who have visited the gallery are the ea-Queen of the French, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, the Dukes de Joir.ville, d'Att male, and di liontpt nsier. The royal party, who remained a long while in t►e gallery, and attentively inspecting the nume rous pictures, recognised at once the portraits of the French generals, and many of those of the officers of the French army. Sir G. Brown, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Richard England, Commissary-General Filder, and numerous of now recovering from their wounds in England, have visited the gallery in Pall-mall, and have ezpremed them selves much gratified with Mr. Fenton's exertions. Several very interesting subjects have been added to tie exhibition since it first opened. In a few days the portrait of the highly esteemed General Canrobert will grace the col lection, Mr. Fenton Laving lately gene to Paris for the express purpose of seizing the gallant general's likeness. Many of the brave men represented to the life in this gallery have passed from this world since their portraits were taken. At every step in the exhibition some subject of melancholy interest arrests attention—a sad feature insepa rable from so sad a subject. EGRESS FROM PLACES OF AIIUSEMENT: EXETER HALL.—The lug. hall may ba taken as capable of mating 3,000 persons. It has but three points of exit, their united width being about 18 feet. Thera are two tiers of offices under the lugs hall, so that at least fifty steps haws to be descended before the street keel is gained. It does not re quire ranch discrimination to perceive that a building used for large assemblies, at a considerable height from the ground, presents points of danger greatly in excess of one that is on the ground level. Two of the three swimming are very narrow, full of angler, and awkward turning points : in a time of excitement they would be dangerous. The third staircase, leading into the Strand, is wider, but it is nearly straight, with but one landing, and the danger re sulting from a sudden rush down the fifty or sixty stairs composing it may readily be noted by any one looking through the swinging doorway in the Strand. In connexion with the Sacred Harmonic Sgefety I have had 21 years' experience of the alarming deficiency of Exeter•hall in this respect. Through this series of years I can testily to re peated complaints and warnings from all classes. The absolute danger has been frequently pointed out to the directors of the building, and, although opportunities Dave offered, and schemes readily practicable been proposed to them. yet they have been steadily ignored. That you may ' not think lam indulging in unmerited remark, I enclose you the report of the Sacred Harmonic Society for the past ' year: I refer you to page 30 therein. Even this repre sentation has paused unheeded, and thus matters are likely to remain, unless roma authority interposes. It would be highly desirable that authority ahuuid reside somewhere to prohibit meetings in places of public resort unites previously certified tuba safe and commodious.—The Baader. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OP A CLERGYMAN.— No ordinary sensation has been excited in Gloucestershire this week by the sudden and unaccountable ditappeerance of a clergyman a few hours before his intended marriage with a young bride. The parties were resident within. few miles of Gloucester, the gentleman, the Rev. Mr. —, being the curate of a parish which has gained some note as having had established upon it one of the earliest of the reformatory schools for juvenile delinquents, and the lady being the eldest daughter of an active =lnnate of Glouces tershire, a gentleman of come wealth and influence in the county. The marriage wes fixed for Tuesday gat, and was to have been celebrated at the church of -- the parish in which the lady end her parents resided. Eleven o'clock wee appointed for the ceremony, and at the; hour the church was crowded by n teipeotable congregation drawn together by the occasion and the position of the par ties. The path from the entrance-gate of the churchyard to the porch was carpeted, and garlands of flowers were prepared for the occasion ; the parish school children were assembled to strew the brides path with flowers, the ringers had mustered in the belfry, sod the presence of the bridegroom was all that was wanting. The appointed hour, however, passed by, and still no bridal party approached the chureb, and at the expiration of the canonical hours it was announced to the people assembled in, the church that the marriage was deferred in consequence of the illness of the bride. It soon transpired, however, that the bridegroom was missing, and that under circumstance. of a very mysterious character. It appears that he had been visiting his affianced on the previous evening at her father's residence, and left for Gloucestershire in the even ing. Re called at en hotel in that city between six and seven o'clock in the evening, and made some inquires re specting the trains into Devonshire, and hone that hour all trace of him has been lost. It was feared that on bia return home he might, in the darkness of the night, have fallen into the Illouceeter and Berkeley Canal, which is on the route between Gloucester and his residence, sod the water was dragged for some distance, but without effect. The police were also put in motion, but up to the time of the despatch of this report no tidings bad been gathered of the missing gentleman, who was much respected in Iris neigh bourhood. Rumours of a strange character are rife respeot ing his disappearance, but to which it would be unwise to give currency. A COUPLE OF VENERABLE LOVERS.—The gossip* of the usually quiet town of Clogher (says the ArmegA Guardian) have had a choice morsel to dwell upon in a marriage which took place in the Cathedral Church on the 24th nit. The gay Lothario, Jemmy Gordon, is about 91 years of age, and the blushing bride, Anderson, alias Neely, hes seen upwards of 65 summers. This is the sixth time for the venerable bridegroom to be joined in Hymen's bonds, and the third for the blooming bride. It is only about three months since the hale Jemmy was loft en inconsolable widower by the death of hie fifth wife. As might be ex pected, the assemblage in and shout the cathedral witnessing the ceremony performed by the Ray. W. A. Ashe was immense, end in the leveeing the town and neighbouring hills were brilliantly illuminated by bonfires to mark the happy mignon. ANTIQUITIES IN THE ISLE OF WIOHT.—A largo number of antiquities connected with the Isle of Wight are in sentence, but scattered about. Latterly many of them have been sent out of the island. When the Arctsellogical Society met in the Isle of Wight, a few weeks ago, attention was drawn to this matter, and Prince Albert and other principal residing there have been desirous that the anti. goitres should be concentrated and preserved. The govern ment have, therefore, granted the use of apartments In Cariebecoke Castle for a museum, in which all the island antiquities ma be carefully preserved and exhibited to the public.
