LORD CARLISLE AND THE CORPORATION.—Tbc cor-
porate address to the Lord Lieutenant was presented
IVodnesday afternoon at the Castle with the usual civic
state. The address, which wax brief, touched upon the
late war, and the necessity of neutrality. Hi:femme was
also wade to Lord Eglintoun's good offices towards the
promotion of the Galway racket Station, and the
necessity of preserving intact the N'iceregal office in
Ireland. _

THE WEATIIKIL—Some idea of the effects of the
long-continued dry weather in Dublin may be gathered
from the fact that the Corporation has issued a public
ice stating that the supply of water with which
• are served has become deficient even for domestic
manufacturing purposes. The consequence is that
the watering of the streets in the southern districts
of the metropolis is to be curtailed, and the inhabitanta
of the most populous and fashionable portion of the
city subjected to all time miseries of a perpetual dust
storm. Such a deprivation sea short supply of water is
a perfect novelty in Dublin.

Misses Harriet and Lizzie Paxton. These all perished
in the Pomona, but their bodies were afterwards
washed ashore, and, of course, interred respectably, a
large amount of money having bees found on the
terson of Mrs. Paxton. Mrs. Paxton was the wife of
Captain Paxton, of the Savannah ship Cooawattee, and
alie and her family were going to New York to meet
Captain Paxton; but the morning that beheld the
wreck of the Pomona and the fate of Hrs. Paxton and
her family ushered in the day on which Captain Paxton
died. His ship was 1,44 at Calcutta, and he died there
the same day as his wife and family perished off this
coast. Than one entire family—the head of which was
in India, tin remainder in Ireland—died on the game

Tut HARVEBT.—Notwithstanding the want of mois-
ture, the accounts from the provinces are by no means
desponding in tone. Since the year 1826 there lias not
been such a summer in Ireland for heat and continu-
ance of drought. The climate has, in fact, been
tropical for nearly two months past, and all appearance
of the approach of rain has faded away within the last
two or three days. The Wexford /adepeadria of
Thursday says :—" All hope of the green crops in this
district has now vanished, and the only resonrce of the
farmer to turn the vacant fields to benefit seems to lie
in sowing rape, not yet too late. The spring crops are
scant, and will scarcely be cut by the hook. Heaping
of oats will commence this week, and the hue of harvest
is fast coming over the country. On Monday night and
Tuesday morning there was a brilliant display of the
Aurora Borealis, but the weather remained unchanged,
excepting that Tuesday there was a refreshing breeze
veering from the south to the west." The accounts
from all other quarters are but an echo of the fore-
going, with the exception of part of the county of Gal-
way, where it seems there has been an abundance of
rain.
