IRELAND.

MK. REDINGTON, ex under-Secretary for :Ireland, and Mr.
Jeremiah Dunne, brother to the member for the Queeen's
County, are spoken of as likely to contest the representation
of New Ross on Mr. Duffy's retirement.
MAYORALTY OF DIIDLIN.—At a meeting of the Dublin
Corporation, on Wednesday, Alderman Fergus Farrell was
nominated without opposition to the office of Lord Mayor of
that city for 1856. Mr. Farrell has ever been a consistent
Liberal of the advanced school, and it is some proof of his
general worth that the motion for his appointment was se-
conded by Alderman Kenahan, of the extreme class of Con-
servatives.

Tsu POTATO CROP.—Some isolated symptoms of the re-
appearance of the old potato pestilence having manifested
themselves since the setting in of the last month's heavy
rains, the calamity-mongers are at their old trade, and al-
ready the " cry" has gone forth, that a large portion of this
year's produce is destined to share the fate of the crop of 1846
and the subsequent years of failure. There are, undoubtedly,
a few authenticated instances of the appearance of the fatal
blight on the stalks, but in no instance as yet has the disease
attacked the tubers, which remain perfectly free from taint;
and, as the season is now far advanced, it may be reasonably
hoped that whatever damage the crop may suffer will be very
trifling indeed as compared with the losses of former seasons
of disaster.

THE WEATHER AND THE CEOPS.—During the past week,
there has been very little of sunshine, so necessary for the
ripening of grain at the present time ; instead of which there
have been frequent showers, sufficiently continuous to very
much retard the saving of hay, a considerable quantity of
which had been out before the rain commenced. As yet, the
account of the cereal crops are satisfactory, with the exception
of complaints from some quarters of the wheat being laid to
some extent by the rain. There are still some reports about
the blight in the potato ; but on the whole nothing has ap-
peared calculated to lead to the opinion that any serious injury
has been done. Indeed, there are not as yet any reliable ;acts
to show that the tuber has been at all affected. So far as may
from. tlrPsent a.nnPnrnnePs. it only requires a few
weeks of fine weather to ensure an abunuant harvest.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OP SELF-31IITILATION.—A soldier
of the 15th Regiment, in Cork garrison, some time ago de-
serted, and was by a court-martial sentenced to 86 days'
imprisonment, and to be branded with letter D. The letter.
D was made on his breast. But while undergoing his term of
imprisonment he became ill, and his removal to hospital was
necessary. He was accordingly removed, and after a short
time, being fround to be progressing favourably, he was
placed in the convalescent ward. Here he took advantage of
the comparative liberty of the hospital, and one day got up,
took the razor with which he was in the habit of shaving
himself. and cut out the piece of flesh on which the ignomi-
nous brand had been placed. He then rushed out of the
hospital, made his escape from the barracks, and has never
since been heard of, The piece of flesh was found on the floor,
and has, we believe, been preserved.

ROYAL ROCK FERRY COMPANY.—The annual meeting of
this company was held yesterday in the Clarendon-rooms.
Reporters not having been admitted, we are unable to state
any particulars relative to the business transacted.
"ENTERPRISE."—By a recent decision in one of the supe-
rior Law Courts of New York, it eas been laid down that the
act only prohibits the sale of liquors of domestic manufacture.
The next morning all the stores displayed signs certifying
" none but imported liquors sold here." The New York
Herald says on this :—" The enterprise displayad by the
liquor dealers in disposing of their American liquor in one
night, and filling their shops with imported liquor by next
morning, is certainly very extraordinary, and merits public
notice."

TUE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY, on Tuesday, de-
clared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, free of income-tax.

LORD JOHN Russ;LL's instructions for the Vienna mission
are dated the very day on which Mr. Gladstone and his friends
seceded from the government.

HANSOM CABS IN AMERICA.-The Boston (U.S.) Post
notices the introduction of the first " Hanson cab" into that
city, by a gentleman connected with the Cunard line of
steamers, at the earnest solicitation of several of his friends.
The " attractive novelty" was driven about the streets for
about an hour or two, previous to making its appearance for
hire, and caused an admiring crowd wherever it stopped.

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented by
BEETHAM'S CAPILLARY FLUID. The truly wonderful effi-
cacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admiration where-
ver introduced. It effectually prevents the hair falling off or
turning grey, promotes its growth on places that have been bald
for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and gradually restores
its natural colour, without the use of dye. It cleanses the head
from scurf, and imparts a beautiful transparent, glossy appear-
ance, and keeps it in any desired form. In inducing the growth
of whiskers, eyebrows, mustachios, its effect is surprising.—

EASE AND COMFORT IN WALKING.— BEETHAM'S
CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.—This most important dis-
covery causes the greatest delight and astonishment wherever
it is introduced. Its effect, to use the words of numerous corres-
pondents, is truly miraculous ; the most inveterate Corns,
Bunions, and those unsightly and painful enlargements of the
GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfigure the beautiful symmetry of
the foot, have been immediately relieved from all pain and uneasi-
ness, and in a short time entirely disappeared, after twenty
years' suffering. Unexceptionable references are allowed to be
given to individuals in almost every part of the United Kingdom.

to any part of the United Kingdom on the receipt of 14 or 34
postage stamps, by Mr. BEETHANI, Cheltenham, or any of his
Agents.

For removing Superfluous Hair, BEETHAM'S VEGETABLE
EXTRACT is the only article ever discovered which does not
cause pain or injury to the skin. Numerous worthless articles
are introduced, containing the most deadly poisons, and unfit to
be applied to the human body; many of them remove the skin,
and produce dangerous wounds. The effect of this extract is
unerring, and gives the greatest satisfaction.—Packets, 55., sent

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—The mani-
fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses-
sion of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every.day, are so obvious
to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every
housekeeper in the kingdom.
They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor,
and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
" For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of
Winchmore Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of
this excellent Medicine. I had long pyeviously been afflicted with
headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to
make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few
doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time
I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I
have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of
health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to
add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it."
Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddi-
ness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great
a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, 1
many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their
nent,
immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly e4g, pre-
