THE MURDER OF A CONSTABLE IN
IRELAND.

As would he seen by two different telegraphic des-
patches which we have already given; at the Armagh
Assizes, on Friday, ex-Constable Holden, of Dungannon,
was charged with the murder of Sergeant M'Clelland.
Holden, it will be remembered, was reduced, on a charge
of having secretly married, and suspected Sub-inspector
Matthews and M'Clelland of having been the cause of
his disgrace. He asked M'Clelland to proceed with him
to the house of a priest at Dungannon, for the purpose
of procuring from the reverend gentleman a certificate
to the effect that he (Holden) was not married. M'Clel-
land complied with his request, but the priest being from
home. Holden proposed that they should apply to
Mr. Quain, the Protestant rector. When they had,
as is supposed, gone up about twenty yards on Mr.
Quain's avenue, and while they were almost in sight of
the entrance gate, a shot was heard, and immediately
after another, following the first in rapid' succession.
Holden had in his possession a large horse-pistol and a
smaller weapon of the same kind ; and it is supposed
that he fired two shots at M'Clelland, a ball from one of
the pistols entering the back of the deceased at the right
side, and coming out through the region of the heart.
The ball from the other shot entered the head at the
left side of the nose, near the eye, and taking a down-
ward direction carried away some of Mr. M'Clelland's
teeth. Holden then stabbed deceased in the centre of
the forehead. Having completed this bloody work, he
went into the town, and proceeded to a house.where
Sub-inspector Mathews was taking tea. He left a mes-
sage to the effect that Mr. R. Evans, J.P., wished to see
Mr. Mathews immediately, and then made his way to
the avenue leading to Mr. Evans's house, and hid himself
among some bushes. Mr. Mathews walked up the avenue,
when he-was attacked by Holden, Who was armed with
a horse-pistol and a dagger. Holden knocked Mr.
Mathews down with a blow of the pistol on the head,
fracturing the skull. The gentleman, thus wounded,
and, to a great degree, rendered insensible, was,- of
course, incapable of offering any resistance to his
assailant, who followed up the attack by giving Mr.
Mathews several stabs en the head and face. While
Holden was thus attacking his superior officer he gave
a shout. This attracted the attention of two men, who
went in the direction whence the .noise had proceeded.
Holden, it is conjectured, seeing these men so near him,
desisted from his murderous assault upon Mr. Mathews,
and attempted to escape, The jury found him guilty,
hut recommended him to mercy on account of his pre-
vious good character. The prisoner, who very coolly
requested to be shot, was sentenced to death.

Several of the foreign astronomers who went to Spain
to observe the eclipse intended, before leaving, to hold a
conference at Madrid, to which city they have been
invited by the government.

The album which the city of Milan is about to present
to Marshal Valliant will contain twenty-eight water-
colour drawings by the best artists of the city, including
Bisi, Massala, Promagatti; Pennutti, and Rossi. The
cost will be about 15,000 francs.

LORD CLYDE' AND THE CITY FREEDOM.—On Thurs-
day it was officially intimated at the Guildhall that the
ceremony of the presentation of freedom of the City,
with a sword of the value of 100 guineas, to Lord Clyde,
upon his return home from the East, and which it was
expected would take place in the present month, had
been unavoidably postponed until next autumn.
A medal has hem struck at! Palermo in honour of
Garibaldi. It is of a large size, and the resemblance to
•the general is perfect. It commemorates the landing at
Marsala on the 21st of May, the capture of Palermo on
the 27th, and gives the names of the chiefs who fol-
lowed the general in his expedition—La Massa, Carini,
Stocco, Cairoli, Nino Birio, Crispi, and Anfossi. It
also bears the name of the general himself, and the year
of his birth.
The National Gazette states that the Princess Frederic
William intends to reside at Putbus, near Stralsund, in
the Baltic, for some weeks in the autumn, and will
inhabit the official residence there in will, h the King
of Prussia lived for some time. A wet nurse, who had
been engaged for the expected royal infant, arrived at
Potsdam a few days since, accompanied by her children
and her sister. She came from a village called Levern,
about four miles from Minden.
NEWSPAPERS FOR CHINA AND PLACES EASTWARD
OF INDIA.—AS many newspapers intended to be sent to
China and other places eastward of India, via South-
ampton and Suez, oontintie to be posted insufficiently
prepaid, the public are reminded that newspapers
for any of those places are liable to a postage of
twopence each, and that unless that postage be prepaid
the newspapers will not be forwarded.—By command of
the Postmaster General, Rowland Hill, secretary.—
General Post Office, July 27.
SICILIAN REFUGEES AT MALTA.—Of late a great
many persons have come over here from Sicily, chiefly
former instruments of Bourbon cruelty and misrule, and
who are no longer safe amongst the people they have so
long tormented by their oppression. Amongst the fugi-
tives there are a large portion of priests and sonic jesuits.
Campagna, the most infamous and most execrated of
the Neapolitaii chiefs of police, has, as we stated last
week, also honoured our island with a visit, bringing
his family, consisting of seven or eight individuals, with
him. We are happy to say that he did not long taint
the place with his presence, having left on Sunday by
the Alhambra, for Corfu.—Malta Times.
THREATENED STRIKE OF MASONS IN BRISTOL.—A
strike of the operative masons of Bristol is now in course
of organisation, and may be expected to take plane in a
few days, one of the secretaries of the Operative Asso-
ciation having sent a memorial to the different master
builders, requesting an advance of three shillings per
week, or 6d. a day, and a shortening of the hours of
labour from 69i hours per week to 67{ hours. 'The
master builders, upon receipt of the memorial, resolved
to invite a deputation of the operatives, to ascertain the
reason of this unexpected demand, which, to those har-
ing large contracts in hand, must, if complied with, sub-
ject them to heavy losses. The meeting took place on
Wednesday evening last, at the offices of the Master
Builders' Association, where the secretaries of the opma-
fives expressed their intention of following up their
demands, and, if not complied With instantly, a strike of
working masons would take place this day (Monday).
AT DRILL.—When the command has been received
upon the tympanum, act upon it at once, without paus-
ing to reflect. You will see many intelligent men bring
upon themselves the wrath of their serjeant, simply
because, in analysing and pondering on his instructions,
they have missed the right time for action, and are halt
a minute or so behind, tb,e rest of their company. For
instance the cururnand is given—" At the word Fours'
the rear-rank will step smartly off with the left foot,
taking a pace to the rear--Fours!" Or, in the serjeant's
language, " Squad! 'shun ! at th' wud Foz ' the rer-
rank will stepsnn't lyoff-wi' th' leffut tekkingapesstoth-
,rare—Fo-o-o-res !" the last word being uttered in a
prolonged and discordant bellow. A retaeotive gentle-
man in the rear rank first translates this dialect into the
ordinary language of civilised life, and then proceeds to
ponder on its meaning ; and when he had discovered it,
he probably finds himself deserted by his comrades, who
have taken up a position a pace behind him, and an
object of disgust to the sergeant, who, looking at lion
more in pity than in anger, says, in a horse whisper,
"Now,. Number Three—what, wrong agin P' —An the
Year Round.
