THE TRADE OF DUBLIN.

A report has just been published by an eminent
engineer on the subject of a proposed central mar-
ket for Dublin, in which some interesting statistics
are contained. The following shows the goods
and cattle exported from the port of Dublin during

IRISH ATTORNEYS.—A change of considerable
importance to the profession of attorneys and
solicitors in Ireland has recently been made with
respect to the admission of apprentices. Hitherto
no qualification was required beyond the pay-
ment of stipulated fees, but, in compliance with
the recommendation of the Society of 'Attorneys
and Solicitors, the Benchers resolved upon sub-
jecting the candidates to strict tests of their
general knowledge, and a regular examination of
a comprehensive and severe character has been
instituted.

DEATH FROM STARVATION AND COLD.—Yesterday
morning Mr. Carter received information of the awfully
sudden death of a man in Manor-street, Clapham. The
deceased, with four other men, were traversing the
streets, soliciting the contributions of the charitable, to
relieve their destitute conditi )n, in consequence of the
frost stopping their work as navigators, when the
deceased, who was singing in the road with the others,
suddenly staggered and fell. A medical man pro-
nounced that death was caused by cold and hunger, and
the poor man's co-mates stated they had been two days
without food.
BOILER EXPLOSION AT WHITECHAPEL, LONDON.—
Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a serious boiler
explosion took place on the premises of Messrs. Craven
and Co., sugar-bakers, Great Garden-street, '\Vhitechapel.
It is said that the cause was the insufficiency of water
in the boiler, but it may also have been partially induced
by the frost. The damage done to the building is con-
siderable ; and we regret to add that the stoker was
very seriously injured, as well as a man who acted as
assistant; besides which three other men sustained
injuries of a severe character. The five men have been
ta

ken to the London Hospital.
NEW SOUTH WALES. Her Majesty's Emigration
Commissioners have given notice to the holders of
unexpired remittance-certificates for passages to New
South Wales, issued by the colonial government since
the Ist of January, 1860, who have not yet communi-
cated with the Emigration Board, forthwith to send in
their certificates, stating at the same time whether they
wish to emigrate or not, in order that steps may be taken,
either to provide passages for those who wish to emigrate,
or to enable the depositors in the colony to obtain a return
of their deposits in the case of those who do not wish to
emigrate.
RAILWAY SLEEPING CAns.—Two by two we rise, and
with neat trimness and quick hand the nimble Yankee
turns over every other seat, so as to reverse the back,
and make two seats, one facing the other. Nimbly he
shuts the windows and pulls up the shutters, leaving for
ventilation the slip of perforated zinc open at the top
of each. Smartly he strips op the cushions and un-
fastens from beneath each scat a light cane-bottomed,
frame, there secreted. In a moment, opening certain
ratchet holes in the wall of the carriage, he has
slided these in at a suitable height above, and covered
each with cushions and sleeping rug. I go outside on
the balcony to be out of the way, and when I some
back the whole place is transformed. No longer an
aisle of double seats, like a section of a proprietary
chapel put.on wheels, but the cabin of a small steamer,
snug for sleeping, with curtained berths and closed port-
holes. 0 dexterous genius of Zenas Wallace and Ezra
Jones, conductors of the New York Central Railway!
The lights of the candle-lamps are dimmed or with-
drawn; a hushed stillness pervades the chamber of
sleep ; no sound breaks it but the clump of falling
boots, and the button-slapping sound of coats flung
upon benches. Further on, within a second enclosure,
I hear voices of Women and children. A fat German
haberdasher, from Cincinnati, is unrobing himself for
sleep: He takes off his " undress "as if he were per-
t forming a religious ceremony, end, indeed, sleep is a
rehearsal of death, and seems rather a solemn thing,
however we look at it. The bottom berths are singu-
larly comfortable. There is a room to wander and
explore, to roll and turn, and the curtains hush all
sound, and keep off all inquisitive rays from Zenas's and
Ezra's portable lamps. There is, indeed, twice the room
I had in the Atlantic steamer that brought me over, for
in that berth I could not sit. up at night without hump-
ing my head against No. 46's bed planks, and could not
turn without pulling all the scant clothes off me. As for
a heavy sea, why then there was no keeping in bed at
all without being lashed in. Nov I meant my berth;

for sleep is synipathetic, and when every one else gees
to sleep I must too. There aro two berths to choose
from; both wicktr trays, lodged in, cushioned, and
rugged ; one about half a foot higher than the other.
I choose the top one, as being nearer the zinc ventilator.

The Patric asserts that a project of law, trans-
ferring the Bourse property to the State, will be
submitted to the Corps Legislatif.
The rise in the Funds to-day was occasioned by
the rumour that the turnstile at the entrance of
