The decree relative to the University, lished on Wednesday, has excited much attention, as it completely destroys the independence of the principal pro fessors. The decree enacts that the President of the Re public may appoint and revoke at will the members of the superior council, the inspectors-general, the rectors, and professors of faculties.

Until such expulsion has been effected, we hesi tate not to state that the governor is not in a posi tion to receive any overtures of peace. When every Gaika shall be driven to the east bank of the Kei, then may we sheath the sword of conquerors, and then may the harrassed farmers again resume their field operations and rear their flocks or herds in security.

This division brought in more than 3,000 head of cattle. The other division, under Captain Tylden, Royal Engineers, was composed of native and Fingoe levies, 18 officers, 562 rank and file, and 180 horses. He had a smart engagement on the 30th of December with a body of the enemy in the Xuaba Valley, posted in a strong rocky position, from which he drove them, killing between 50 and 60, and taking 1,200 headlief cattle. This division captured in all about 3,000 head, the latter part of his operations being in conjunction with Colonel Mackinnon's division. " On the Ist of January the troops returned to head quarters, King William's Town, with about 23,000 head of cattle, many thousand goats, and some horses. " On Sunday, the 18th January, Lieut.• Colonel Eyre returned to King William's Town, with 500 further cap tured cattle, and the whole of the Fingoes from Butter worth, with their cattle,—vtz., 7000 souls, possessing 30.000 head of cattle,— as well as the British resident and traders, in order to secure them from the savage wrath of Kreli. We understand that, for the present, they will be located south of Fort Peddle, towards the sea coast. A portion of the captured cattle was distributed as follows : —B5OO head to the 2nd division, 4300 to the Ist division, and 1400 to Captain Tylden's force. £BOOO, the proceeds of the sale of the larger number, will, it is said, be divided amongst the 2nd division, being about £2 a man. This leaves a large balance of cattle unaccounted for." On the - 11th January the troops returned to head. quarters, when Sandilli, Macomo, Mapassa, and other chiefs, sued for peace, on which Sir Harry Smith informed their councillors that his terms were, safety to all their lives, but unconditional surrender.

By advices from the River Plate, we learn that an important battle had been fought on the 3rd of February, between Menlo and Passo del Rey, in which Rosas had sustained a corn plete defeat from the allied Brazilian and Oriental armies. As many as 4,000 men were killed in the engagement ; and the Holstein Cavalry in the Brazilian service is said to have actually ridden over the boasted cavalry of the dictator of the Argentine Republic. Rosas himself escaped to her Majesty's ship Locust, disguised as a marine, from which he was transferred to the Centaur, now at Buenos His daughter escaped in the same way, disguised Ayres. as a s, for boy. Her name is Mannelita. Urquiza's army embraced 28,000 men, 5.000 horses, and 40 pieces of artillery. The master of Her Majesty's ship Locust had ridden out to see the fight ; and some Gauchos in retreat took his horse from him. He was so badly wounded in his attempts to resist, that he died shortly after. FOREIGN MISCELLANEA. A clause in . the will of the late King of Prussia has come to light, forbidding the royal family to acquire any possessions whatever in foreign countries ; this provision aims at forcing the family of - Hohenzollern to link all the interesta and stake its whole fate on the welfare of Prussia. A Dums WEDDING.—A few days ago a man and woman presented themselves at the altar of the church of Reichenberg, in Bohemia, each of whom was deaf and The bride, the daughter of a citizen, had become .af and dumb institu been educated. The tion at Prague, w marriage ceremony was performed in perfect silence. The questions were handed to each, written on slips of paper, and the answers were returned by nods or shakes of the head. NEGLECT OF THE DEAD.—It appears that although the inual mortality of Paris amounts to 12,000 or 13,000 in us rites performed over their tombs. To supply a remedy to a state of things barely credible in a Christian country, the Prefect of the Seine has just laid municipal council a proposal to appoint to each number, had reli more than one before the public cemetery two chaplains, whose special duty it shall be to accompany the corpse of each poor person to its grave, and perform over it the rites of the church. . . THE ENGLISH ABROAD.—The following is an extract of a letter from a British resident at Leghorn :—" The talking a from the police every six months, and some every three months, to remain here ; and every time the permission d every a family to have a separate one, which would come to be a considerable tax. Their object is twofold—First, to raise money to support the Austrians; and, second, to have it in their power to send any away when their leave is out." The French Pays relates a fatal incident arising from a morbid imagination. M. Karaits, a clever artist, became most melancholy, all his ideas took a gloomy turn, and some friends, with a view of laughing him out of so grave a mood, took him, in a large party, to Vincennes, where, after spending a day in the woods, after returning to Paris,_and, on the pretence of a visit to IIIV 111./ VIDG VS. p C. ••.. ••••••••,•• ••••• .......v,. •• ••••,• monuments and tombs are made, and the first object which met his eyes was a marble column, on which was engraved in letters of geld the following inscription : "A. Karaits, peintre de la nature, artiste plein de cceur et de talent, excellent ami, homme obligeant et bon. Mort a 37 ans." On reading this inscription M. Karaits stood as if thunderstruck ; his features became convulsed, and before any one could assist him, he fell dead on the ground. POPERY I ; ITALY.—Tt is perhaps necessary to travel in Italy to verify the fact, that in no part of Catholic Europe is there so little real Catholicism as in the Papal States. But so it is. The Pope has far more moral in. iluence over the Irish in London and Dublin than he enjoys over his immediate subjects in Rome. In Rome, and generally throughout the north c f Italy, a disposition to resist the intolerable usurpations of the priesthood is universal—usurpations that would not exist for a moment but for foreign influence. They are upheld solely by the bayonets of the Austrians and French. This is an in tense political blunder. The would-be masters of Italy make themselves doubly detested—detested not merely as conquerors, but detested as the supporters of a system of fraud and tyranny by which the country is becoming emoralised. Religion le and utter: in the north of Italy is now only an affair of police, Piedmont excepted. To neglect attendance at mass, or to enter a Swiss Protestant place of worship, involves arrest and imprisonment. All classes, including the most educated, are subject ,to a re'aime of compulsory hypo crisy, which they feel not only as an oppression but as a disgrace.—Correspondent of the _Daily News. ROMANTIC INCIDENT.—:The Memorial Bordelais has the following romantic story, which it guarantees to be " Three years ago a garde mobile, after the break ing up of his corps, went to the south of France to seek for employment. He, after a while, succeeded in getting the place of clerk to a corn merchant at Bergerac, and occupied it until the beginning .of February, when his employer was obliged to discharge him. He, however, gave him a recommendation for a M. X—, living near Gradignan. The young man, whose name is Charles B—, only discovered this gentleman with some difficulty, owing to his leading a very retired life. When he had communicated his letter, the gentleman, who is old and wealthy, expressed his regret that he could not employ him, as he was no longer in business ; but be promised to use his influence in his behalf, and invited him to din ner. At table the young man amused his host by relating his adventures, especially his exploits as a garde mobile in the insurrection of 1848 at Paris. In the course of conversation he stated that he was of illegitimate birth, age, and that he was born in a artment du Nord. This statement --- ^ression on the old eentlp— t he was 23 years o and he questioned him a good deal about his ;other and his early life. His replies seemed to interest him to an extraordinary degree,_and when night came he made his papers, and the young man produced with his passport, litre!. &c., some letters written to his mother by her seducer. On reading the latter the old gentleman rushed into his arms and cried, ' Those letters are mine ! I was the seducer of your mother, and you are my son !' Since then the young man has remained with the gentle man, and is to become his heir." RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN FRANCE.-M. Lenoir, a Swiss minister of the Free Protestant Church of France, undertook at the beginning of 1851. in compliance with the wishes of the inhabitants of St.-Hilaire-Labreille, Haute-Vienne, to preach in a barn in the village. The prefect of the department having interdicted clubs and public meetings, the deputy-mayor ordered M. Lenoir to cease to preach. M. Lenoir refused, on the ground that the meetings of his congregation, being for a purpose ex clusively religious, did not fall within the provisions of the law on clubs. The sub- prefect of the district accord ingly interfered, and peremptorily ordered M. Lenoir to put an end to his preaching; but still the rev. gentleman refued to do so. After this refusal he preached on two several occasions, but at length he was arrested. After some weeks' delay he was tried by the Tribunal of Correc tional Police at Bellac, and the public prosecutor de manded that he should be condemned to 15 days' impri sonment, 100 f. fine, and the costs. But as it appeared that M. Lenoir had not touched on political matters in his sermons, that the meetings of his congregation had always passed off with the greatest order, and that he had ful filled all the formalities set forth in the law before he be gan to preach, he was acquitted. The public prosecutor appealed to the Court of Appeal at Limoges, and that Court, though admitting that M. Lenoir's meetings had been orderly, and his sermons non-political, decided that, being a foreigner, he had not the right of convoking pub lic meetings like a Frenchman. It accordingly condemned him to sf. fine. Mr. Lenoir appealed against the sen tence to the Court of Cessation. The Court, after hear ing arguments, quashed the judgment on the ground of some technical informality, and ordered a new trial before the Court of Riom. This new trial took place a few days ago, and it ended in the complete acquittal of M. Lenoir. IRELAND. ARRIVAL OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT . His Excellency the Earl of Eglintoun arrived in Dublin on Wednesday, to assume the high and honourable office conferred on him by her most gracious Majesty. The noble lord met with a reception which, take it in every point of view, must be highly gratifying both to him and to the Government with which he is connected. From an early hour in the morning Kingstown presented a most animated appearance; groups of people were to be seen proceeding towards the jetty, the various ships in the harbour hoisted their gayest colours, and the wea ther was beautifully fine. From 10 o'clock crowds conti nued to arrive in the half and quarter-hour trains ; and by 12 o'clock those who had not been fortunate enough to secure standing room on the pier or the railway platforms were obliged to take up their position in places where only a distant view of the expected landing could be hoped for. At noon the 35th Regiment of Infantry arrived at the jetty, to form his Excellency's guard of honour, and formed a double line from the landing-place to the termi nus of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. At half-past 12 the Prince Arthur, which had their Excellencies on board, was observed to be making towards the harbour in gallant style. Flags were now to be seen waving in all directions. The Eblana, Trafalgar, and Columbia stea mers, the revenue cutters, and several merchant ships, were adorned from deck to topmast. The Railway Ter minus and the St. George and Royal Irish Yacht Clubs sported banners innumerable, and union-jacks floated from . the fronts of the hotels and various private resi dences. The Prince Arthur left Holyhead at a few mi nutes past 9, and rounded the pier at Kingstown at a quarter before 1 o'clock precisely, amid a thunder of heavy fire from all sides. The yachts paid the Viceroy and his noble Countess the customary honours, and as the steamer made its way towards the jetty the artillery fired successively 21 guns. On the arrival at the pier of the Viceregal party, a platform covered with scarlet cloth was made to span the distance between the jetty and the deck of the steamer. The Earl and Countess were on deck from the time the Prince Arthur hove in sight, and a truly Irish cheer greeted their Excellencies as soon as they were recognised. His Lordship took off his hat in acknowledment of the compliment, remaining uncovered until after landing. Nothing could be moreelegantor grace ful than the manner in which the Countess expressed her sense of the kindly and warm reception afforded to her and hernobleconsort. When thelandingarrangements had been completed, the directors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway proceeded to the steamer, and informed their Excellencies that - there was a special train in readiness to convey them to Dublin. The Lord-Lieutenant was attired in a blue paletot, a blue satin scarf, &c., and wore a tre mendous bunch of shamrocks in the breast of his coat. The Countess wore a magnificent Irish poplin, richly flowered, a white gauze bonnet, and very rich black scarf. When their Excellencies were leaving the steamer, the band of the 35th struck up the National Anthem, the military presented arms, hundreds of ladies waved their handkerchiefs, the crowds cheered, and all united in giving the new Viceroy and the Countess of Eglintoun a hearty welcome. Arrived at the terminus, their Excel lencies, accompanied by their suite, took their seats in a gorgeous carriage, built for the Queen, and in which her Majesty travelled on the occasion of her visit to Ire land. The directors entered a carriage attached to that in which the Viceregal party were seated, and, amid a tremendous burst of cheering for the noble Earl and Countess, the special train left Kingstown. Everywhere along the tine crowds were in waiting to greet their Ex cellencies, and the greatest enthusiasm was displayed by all assembled. The journey from station to station was performed in nine minutes, and at five minutes past one o'clock their Excellencies reached Westland-row. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, commandant of the Dublin district, met the Lord-Lieutenant when the train stopped, and shook him cordially by the band. The Earl of Roden was also present, and paid his cordial respects to his Excellency. Shortly after the arrival of the train the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (who, with the aldermen and town-councillors, had come from the Man sion-house to receive the Lord-Lieutenant) came forward to present the keys of the city to his Excellency. In presenting the keys to the Lord-Lieutenant, the Lord Mayor welcomed his Excellency to the city, and the Earl of Eglintoun in very handsome terms expressed the plea , —. sure he felt at his connexion with that country, and his thanks for the warm reception he had met with at the hands of the Irish public. The gates of the terminus were then thrown open, and his Excellency, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, proceeded to the street, and mounted a beautiful thorough-bred horse, which his grooms had in waiting for him. The Countess of Eglin toun, leaning on the arm of the Earl of Bective, followed, and took her seat in a chariot drawn by four noble blood horses. The Duke of Cambridge, who was attired in the full dress uniform of a general officer, and wore a brilliant star on his breast, took his place on horseback by the side of the Lord-Lieutenant. Every window in Westland row was filled with elegantly-dressed ladies, and the most ' deafening cheering, with other manifestations of popular Y favour, hailed their Excellencies a- us the procession was being formed. The procession left Westland-row at 20 minutes past one o'clock, marching to the stirring notes of the National Anthem and other airs, performed by the several military bands. It then proceeded through Lin coln-place, along Leinster-street, Nassau-street, Grafton street, College-green, Dame-street, and Cork-hill, to the 'Castle. Enthusiastic cheers broke out, ever and anon, along the entire route from the dense masses who had turned out to witness the display ; windows, balconies, and roofs were put in requisition, many shops were shut, flags waved from numerous eminences, and the whole line presented a gay and spirited scene. Upon his arrival at the Castle, the Earl of Eglintoun was received by the Gentleman Usher, and conducted to the Presence Cham ber, where their Excellencies the Lords Justices received his lordship, sitting covered under the canopy as Chief Governors. The ceremony of swearing in completed, his Excellency entered the Throne-room and held an undress levee, which was very numerously attended. " ROW AT THE COLLEGE As the procession was passing Trinity College, a large assemblage of the students, who were collected within the area and posted in every corner where footing could be obtained,. enthusiastically welcomed the noble viceroy to the seat of his government. One young gentleman, who was lustily cheering from the gate-pillar, while tak ing off his cap with one hand to join in the general cheer ing, suffered an orange-coloured pocket-handkerchief to depend from the lamp-rail which he held with the other hand. This act, or rather accident, caught the eye of an over-officious constable, who, snatching at it, gave it the appearanca of treason to the "tender" feelings of the mob who had congregated around, and thus by a con stable's hot-headedness, much confusion followed. Seve ral other students then " set up" the Kentish fire, and the mob commenced hooting and pelting stones towards the College. This so excited the remainder of the young gentlemen who were present, that they rushed out through the gates en masse, and compelled the disorderly fellows to retreat. The news soon spread that the collegians were attacked by the city mob, and that the police did not deal justly with the former. This caused large bodies of students to assemble, and a little after two o'clock they marched, many hundred strong, through the midst of the mob, several times round the statue of " Glorious Wil liam," pealing the Kentish fire. They were attacked both by the police and mob, and returned the attack. No serious injury, however, has been done, and the ex citement gradually subsided. SWEARING IN OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR On Wednesday, the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, late Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, was sworn into office, as Lord High Chancellor of Ireland, before the Right Hon. Maziere Brady, ex-Chancellor, at his residence, Upper Pembroke-street. EXTRAORDINARY CASE-BURNING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BY A MONK. At the Mayo Assizes, the greatest excitement pre vailed to hear the following case, which mainly arose out of the exertions of the Irish Church Mission Society in spreading the Bible throughout the west of Ireland. John St. John Bridgman, alias John St. John, alias Brother John, a Franciscan monk, was indicted for that he, on the 23rd day of November last, at Ballyovey, did blasphemously burn and consume the Holy Scrip tures, to wit, the New Testament, and did then and there utter the following blasphemous words :—" This is not the Word of God, but the word of the devil, and the de vil's book—Luther's Bible, or your own heretic Bible." The prisoner pleaded not guilty. He was defended by Mr. Keogh, Q.C. 'Callaghan 2,lTartby examined.—ls a schoolmaster ; recollects the 23d of November last; it was Sunday ; was employed teaching a class at a National School at Cappa duff ; the Rev. Hamilton Townsend, John Sheridan, and others were with him; in consequence of what he heard, he left that house with Mr. Townsend and John Sheri dan about three o'clock; in the direction of his own house met two !milks and some people. and one of the monks was John St. John, the prisoner; prisoner went by the name of " Brother John ;" he lived two miles from witness's house ; saw the prisoner burning a book on the battlements of the bridge; Mr. Townsend asked the pri soner was he burning the Word of God ? he answered, " It was not the Word of God, but the word of the devil: it was Luther's book—the devil's book, and your heretical book." The prisoner held the hook in his hand at the time, and it was on fire. He then gave it to another man, who gave it to a third person, who threw it into a field, and John Sheridan went into the &Id and brought it back. The book was then handed to the witness. The book was a copy of the New Testament, and appeared to be two-thirds consumed. John Sheridan examined.—Remembers the day of this transaction. Was in company with the last witness, and with the Rev. Mr. Townsend and others. Saw the pri soner there. The prisoner had a copy of the New Testa ment in his hand. He held it by the leaves over a small fire on the battlements of the bridge. Mr. Townsend asked him was he burning the Bible ? He said, "No ; he was burning the devil's book, Luther's bible; our damnable and heretical Bible ;" and, after burning a great part of it, he handed it to another man standing near him, who held it up and then give it to a third person, who threw it into a field. Witness went after it, quenched it, brought it home, and gave it to Mr. Townsend that night. Rev. Hamilton Townsend examined.—ls rector of Ballyovey. Remembers the 23d of November last. Saw the prisoner that day at a small bridge on the Cappaduff roid. He was holding a book in his hand, waving it. Witness asked him if it was the Word of God he was burning ? He said it was " the book of the devil, your heretical Bible—Luther's book." He repeated these words several times, and said he would burn an many as he could lay hold of. Mr. Keogh addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned Ju.4 e. in chargin4tla@ lary t said—l ern anxious that this case should be confined within the limits required by the law, and shall state to you what that law is. It is for you to say whether those charges have been proved or not, and whether you are satisfied that he said he was not burning the Word of God, but the word of the devil, and whether the words were applied to the au thorised version of the Holy Scriptures, and whether the burning of that book is consistent with the reverence due to that version of the Scriptures authorised by the law of the land. In this case he is indicted for burning the au thorised version, but the offence is equally applicable to any other version of the Scriptures, whether it be the Douay Bible or the Rhemish Testament, and the words used would be blasphemous against either version, spew ing a want of reverence for the Scriptures, because it is not the version of the Scriptures which will warrant the commission of such an offence. It is not because fallible men cannot agree upon the translation of a portion of the Scriptures that they are to be treated with this want of reverence—that because it is not a particular translation it shall be treated with such vilification. Is it to be held that when the law of the land sanctions a certain version, and calls it the authorised version, is it to be said that any man, be his opinions what they may, shall•pour con tempt on it, and thus be guilty of a violation of the law ? Is he to be at liberty to throw that book into the fire and say that he shall vilify that book which the law has sanc tioned ? It has been said to you that this act must be done with intent, and on that the law is clear—every man is presumed to understand the consequences of his own acts. If a man can throw a book into the fire, whether it be a Douay Bible or the authorised version, and if you believe that he did not intend any contempt, then you should acquit him ; but if you believe that he did burn the book and made use of the language, it will be your duty to find him guilty. The Jury retired, and after about half an hour's delibe ration returned a verdict of " Guilty." Immediately on the Clerk of the Crown reading the verdict, Mr. Blake, Q.C., said to his Lordship, that the Crown did not wish to press for any punishment in this case, the object of the prosecutors being to put a stop t o such acts. The Learned Thron was very glad to hear counsel for the Crown say's°, and trusted there would be no further acts of this kind perpetrated, and, after a brief address to the prisoner, concluded by pronouncing the following sentence : " To give bail, himself in £2O, and two sureties in £lO each, to keep the peace and good behaviour to all her Majesty's subjects for seven years, and to come up for judgment when called upon, getting ten days' notice." The Limerick Chronicle states that Earl Roden is to be restored to the commission of the peace. Mr. Alexander M'Carthy has been compelled by the priests to retire from Cork. Mr. John Kells Ingram, Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, has been elected to the professorship of oratory, vacant by the promotion of the Rev. Dr. Macdonnell. FREE TRADE.—Vessels laden with foreign bread stuffs are again pouring into Queenstown, and - further heavy arrivals are daily expected. Sunday 15 arrived : six with wheat, five with maize, three with beans; and one with linseed for cattle feeding.—Cork Constitution. LORD DERBY AS AN IRISH LANDLORD.—The Earl of Derby, who has an extensive estate in the county Tip perary. within an hour's drive of this city, is one of the most liberal and considerate landlords in Ireland. All his tenantry are happy, and no crime is perpetrated on his possessions. —Limerick Chronicle. DEATH OF SIR lIARCOURT LEES.—Protestantism has lost one of its oldest and most ardent champions by the death of the kindhearted Sir Harcourt Lees. The rev. baronet expired on Sunday at Blackrock-house, at the ripe age of 75 years. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son. Mr. John Lees, who married the daughter of General Sir James Coldwell, K.C.8., of Beechlands, Isle of Wight. ASSAULT ON A HIGH•SHERIFF.—WiIIiam M. Fitz maurice, Esq., has been indicted, at Castlebar, for having in that town assaulted D. Rutledge, Esq., high-sheriffof the county of Mayo, with intent to provoke him to com mit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel, and also of a common assault. The jury found Mr. Fitzmaurice guilty on the second count, but could not agree on the first. The traverser having made an apology, and Mr. Rutledge stating that he had no vindictive feeling in the matter, Mr. Fitzmaurice was sentenced to a month's imprisonment. CRUSADE AGAINST THE ESTABLISHED CHU R CH,: The clergy of the diocese of Dr. M'Hale, assembled in full conclave at Tuam have issued a series of resolutions, fhe first and most audacious of which is the following : " That the established church is such a monstrous nui sance in Ireland, amid a Catholic population, that no can didate offering himself for this county shall have any chance of the votes of the Catholic clergy and people who will not uniformly oppose every ministry that will not consent to make the annihilation of this source of grievous oppression a cabinet measure." PROSECUTION OF THE "APPRENTICE BOYS OFDERRY." —A second edition of the Derry Sentinel of Friday announces that about half-past two o'clock this day the grand jury came into court, and announced that no bills had been found against James Gamble, Matthew Clarke, Henry Presdee, John Magee, Robert Platt, and Jeremiah Smith, charged with having, on the 18th of December, at Londonderry, violated the Anti-Processions Act. This announcement was hailed with loud cheers in the body of the court. The demonstration was not checked by his lordship, (Baron Pennefather,) and the cheering was immediately taken up by those outside, and a prolonged shout of acclamation announced the end of the second recent attempt to persecute the loyal Apprentice Boys of Derry. _ WITHDRAW AL OF LORD NAAS FROM KILDARE.-The Duke of Leinster and the Defenders have triumphed. Lord Naas, finding the confederacy of Maynooth (intro muros et extra) irresistible, has been advised by his friends not to persevere in a contest which might cause " strifz and ill-will amongst his fellow-subjects ;" and he has complied with their suggestion. In other circumstances, we might have condemned the noble lord for giving up the contest without testing the sincerity of those who had promised him their support. But he forebore, through a concern for the peace of the community, and'a deration for the feelings of many who were forced to desert him ; and we honour him both for his prudence and his generosity. If the conscience of the Irish elector were his own—if he were not coerced by a dread and mysterious despotism to be false to his neighbour, as often as he is told it is a religious duty to be so—Lord Naas would have been returned by a very large majority. But the priests publicly absolved his supporters, from their solemn pro mise, declaring it to be immoral, and a crime against God to keep their word in such a case. This we know to be a fact; and several of the wretched, servile creatures came weeping (" crying Irish," as the old Chronicler says,) to the noble lon., and saying—" What can we do ?" Mr. Cogan then walks over the course, and will be introduced to the Speaker next week, by his noble friend and col. league the Marquis of Kildare, on one hand, and by Mr. Reynolds on the other; unless that learned and "judi cious bottle-holder," her Majesty's ex-Attorney-General for Ireland, should come at the inside of our city member, and insist on the honour as his own.—Dub.EveningMail. PROGRESS OF RIBBONISM.—The Belfast News Letter gives an alarming statement of the progress of the Riband conspiracy in the disturbed districts of Ulster :—" It seems incredible, yet it is nevertheless true, that in that district especially which has been made lamentably noto rious by the outrage upon Mr. Chambre, the leading gen try are obliged, for the protection of their lives, not only to go out armed themselves, but to be accompanied by a strongly-armed force of constabulary. Travel in what direction you please along the roads in this district, or at whatever hour, and you will be sure to meet these indi cations of a fearful struggle between civilisation and savage barbarism. The Riband reign of terror is extend ing in every direction and penetrating every rank of society. If a gentleman dismisses a servant on suspicion of his being tainted with the Riband poison, forthwith the master receives the notice' of the conspirators ; and, if he refuses compliance with the demand therein con tained, lie is one of the proscribed, and literally may ' prepare his coffin.' This has already happened in some instances, and may happen in many more ; for the truth is, no servant in the neighbourhood can be trusted, unless his attachment to the family has stood the test of long trial and faithful service. We have heard of one gentle man in the district who has thrown up an agency, out of which he derived a moderate income, under the influence of the prevalent alarm. Not only those who are in any way connected with the land, but those whose ordinary commercial avocations one would suppose might exempt them from alarm, feel themselves overawed and intimi dated, and it is manifest that the operations of trade are daily suffering, and will be ultimately checked and de stroyed, unless the Government and the Legislature de vise 8 prompt and effectual remedy. There is no time to be lost." TIIE RE-ELECTIONS.
