THU LORD•LIRDTINANT AND CARDINAL CULLEN ON
lIKIAIIIIII.—The Lord-Lieutenant, in responding to his
health at ;he Lord Mayors', banquet on Tuesday nicht,
at Dublin, congratulated the assembly on the diminu-
tion of crime in the country. He pronounced the
Fenian movement to be a social !pestilence, which he
hoped was now nearly extinguished. He regarded the
attempt. at insurrection in Kerry as the galvanic sp.=
of an expiring body, and observed that the law would be
exercised with full rigour, but rather towards the
foreign emissaries than towards their unfortunate and
credulous dupes. Referring to the .tat, of the country,
his excellency thought that there WAS still an excessive
population, but he did not regard the deportation of Its
inhabitants as the best means to secure permanent
improvement. The population should rather be made
conducive to the well-being of all by the adoption nf such
measures as wonld conduce to that end. Cardinal
Cullen, in responding to his health, observed that
while patriotism was a noble virtue it might be turned
to the degradation of the country and the rain of those
who abused it.

The following letter has been adremed to the Ipswich

of • Young Lsdy from Claydon Nunnery, given in the

deny that I gave my consent to my daughter going into

mention that when Mr. Drury was asked whether Mies
Rolfe was in the house, he declared she was not, which

PATOORITZ Date TOR MARRIAOI. —The latest reports
of the Registars-General of England and 134:attend show
that no two nations mild differ more widely than do the
English and the Scotch with regard to the oboes orders
of the week for merrier.. The Scottish report
states that the favourite day for marriage in Seotland is
the last day of the year, provided it does not fall on
a Saturday or a Sunday. No marriages are celebrated
on Sunday in Scotland, while in England it is the
favourite day of the week for marriage, 32 per met. of
the marriages being contracted on that day. Monday
is a favourite day in both countries. Saturday in
England is the third day of the week in order of a-lea-
lion for marriage, 17 per cent, occurring on that day;
but in Sootland no tree Scot will marry on a Saturday,
nor, indeed, begin soy work of importance. With the
Soot Saturday is an unlucky day for marrisge, and he is
impremsd with the superstitious belief that if he married
no • Saturday one of the parties would die before the
expiry of the year, or that, if b"th survived, the mar-
ries. would prove unfruitful. Hence it happens that
Sunday And Saturday, the two favourite days for mar.
rage in Englend, are blank days for mamage in Scotland.
Friday is the day on which the English do not marry,
but in Scotland it is one of the favourite days for
marriage.
I Violas ALARM AT WARWICIL—On Tuesday even.
log mush alarm was ocesidoned at Warwick, by Mr.
Prickling, chief superintendent of police, resolving •

number of ruspicions looking persons left Paddington
station by the 6.15 p.m. train for Warwick. They will
strive there at 9.15. Head Centre Stephen is said to be
monied them." On receipt of the telegram Mr.
[tickling communicated with the Mayor of Warwick,
and also with Captain IL T. Vanghton, who is in °am-
mend of the militia staff at the barracks. Captain
traughtoo at once ordered the officers and sergeants of
the staff under arms, and they were supplied with ball
cartridge. A number of the local volunteers were also
called out. A large quantity of arms being stored in
the barracks, the gates were closed, end the eta
remained under arms until nearly midnight. Mr.
Chilton. the station-master at the Great Western Rail-
way Station, i• as communicated with, and telegraphed
to Oxford to know if there were any suspicious-looking
passengers in the 6,15 train from London. The Oxford
offlaige telegraphed there were not. On the eeriest of
the train about thirty permits left it, and called for cars
to take them to Warwick Castle. During the evening
It transpired that the persona who had arrived by the
train had come to Warwick to attend • coursing meet-
ing at Charlootte.park, got up by stoma publican. One
of the parties went to the polies-station with a eom-
panion, who he said was the beed-astre, and it would
appear that they gent the telegram to the superintendent
of police. Considerable alarm wag created at Warwick
Culla by the receipt of the telegram, and two cannon"
were got in readiness to give the Fenian' • hearty
welcome.

THZ AcOoCCIIIIINT OF MI haulm 07 W
—The gratifying intelligence of the safe oonitheinent of
the Princess of Wales, and the birth of • Princes, was
announced last Wednesday. His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales we pelmet at themtievent,
and the Home Secretary arrived at Mar Howe
shortly after. The Lance observes that from bow-
ledge of the condition of the Princess of Wales DO small
anxiety has been felt by the public at her reported Ul-
nae.. It seems that her Royal Highness was seised on
I Thursday, the 14th het., with the nasal premonitory
symptoms of acute rheumatism. Dr. Arthur Farr. mw
her on that day, and as she was somewhat woras on
Friday, Dr. Meshing joined hint to attendasies, the
advantage of Dr. deposes experience being &leo sub-
sequently obtained. The Princess suffered oonsiderable
pain, and the fever rao high. For sone time great
distress was caused by the disease fixing itself with
, intensity in one of the principle Pilots, from which it
afterwards shifted to another. Happily, them is an
reason we bear, to feel apprehensions of any namablei
from internal wmplioation —a point which, in emote
rheumatism, is of course • first consideration. It
seemed quite possible at one time that the erimpuhiory
quiet which the attack caused might bare been wfilleient
to delay tbe date of the Princess's confinement beyond
what has happened on each previous oesesion. The
high febrile action, however, doubtless, wired to
precipitate an event which was not, in the ordinary
an course of things, expected for other month. Alb
we believe, tbe speedy ocialnement of the Princess wee
not anticipated by the.. immediately about her, Dr.
Pure went down on Tuesday evening to Marlborough-
house prepered to stay, feeling that there was &IMMO:4
000Ortiiinty to render such • course desirable. The step
was justified by the occurrence of the event which took
the country somewhat by surprise on Wednesday
morning. It was not till six o'clock that Dr. Farr* wee
summoned to her Royal Highness's room, and she was
delivered, after a somewhat rapid bat quiet natural
labour, of • female elidd at haU.peart6 a.m. Her Royal
Highoes. has progressed very favourably sines, and is
now in • fair way to maks a good recovery. It is (mite
probable that the ronithensent may have the efface of
curtailing the duration of an attack which is frequently
as wearisome in its length as it is palatal and distressing
to the patient We may note her, that It is wry rare
to see such a complication as parturitioe daring the
worse of rheumatic fever. Throughout the week there
have been • BUOLONDSOII of favourable announcements
regarding the health cot both mother and child.
