The Ultramontane journals are in the habit of stating
that nearly all eminent persons who have recently di.d
were "reconciled to the Catholic Church" before their
departure. Among the rest they have claimed the ,
Duchess of Kent, and a correspondent of the/Ceres Post
speculates on the Queen's conversion thus "Under
these circumstances, would it not be • curious, if not a
highly interesting event, and a proud one for Kerry, if,
when Iler Majesty conies neat mouth to enjoy the
scenery of Killarney, and the hospitality of the noble
and Catholic House of Kenmore, she were received into
the bosom of the one true and Apostolie,al Church by
the distinguished prelate of the diocese? Can it be
that the Queen contemplates ao great an honour for the
remote," Kingdom of Kerry?"
The criminal tables just issued, for 1860, show an in-
creasing diminution of crime in Ireland. In offences
against persons and property there was • decrease of
301 for the year. In 11351 we find that 118 persons were
committed for murder- in 1860 the number was only
37; and the numbers had been gradually coming down
Siring the intermediate years. Perjury,once so common,
has diminished by one-half. Conspiracy to murder,
manslaughter have fallen off in nearly a similar propor-
tion. In all the more serious offences 1,062 cases were
sent for trial in 1860 against 4,579 in 1851. Of seven

diminution in the number of juvenile offenders ; whereas
in 1856, the total number of committals for all offences
was in the proportion of 1 to every 9:r.3 of the popula-
tion; in 1860 it was only 1 in 1,217. In the whole
country the proportion of male offenders was one in
every 799 of that sex, while in females the proportion
was as low as lbn every 2,419.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

ELEVATION OF LORD Jona Roatietd. TO TER PERR•
AOll.—R is said that Lord John Russell will shoal
be summoned to the House of Peen. His lung service
in the Lower House, both as minister and legislator,
eminently qualify him for this mark of the royal
favour. It is also stated that, upon the creation of
his peerage, he will also be appointed a Knight of the
Garter.
REPRESENTATION or Tin CITY OF LONDON.—The
announcement that Lord John Russell is to be raised
to the peerage haa caused some excitement in the
city. Amongst the conservative party there is a strong
desire to secure the services of Mr. Thomas Baring,
lII'. for Huntingdon. On Wednesday, • deputation
waited upon the Lord Mayor to assertion if his lord-
ship would consent to be put in nomination: His lord-
I ship stated that in the event of a requisition being
signed by the electors in such a manner lid to convey
an emphatic expression of opinion and support in his
favour, he should not hesitate to respond to it. A
deputation of the liberal electors waited upon the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, inviting him to become •
candidate for the City of London, in the event of Lord
John Russell being called to the Upper House. A
contemporary has reason to believe, however, that
" Mr. Gladstone declined the proposal, and that he
will decline a similar offer from South Laneashire, pre-
ferring to continue to hold his seat for the University of
Oxford." On Wednesday a candidate in the Liberal
interest was announced, in the person of Mr. Weston
Wood, son of the late Sir Matthew Wood, formerly
member for the City, and brother of Vise-Chancellor
Sir W. Page Wood. This gentleman, who is the
prime warden of the Fishmonger.' Company, conies
forward under the auspices of the Liberal Registration
Association.

EVERSHOT.

I.J"votrxtorm Rcuoua. -- Some annoyance hag
been temporarily caused to Mr. Spong, dip landlord
of the Acorn inn. in this town, owing to a report
industriously circulated, that he was about to quit,
such statement being utterly destitute of truth. it
is to be hoped the originator of the report may find
a less disreputable occupation than the circulating
of false statements, which being so easily contro•
verted, fall harmless on those at whom they may be
aimed, and merely excite the contempt which such
paltry behaviour merits.
SCHOOL TREtT. —On Tuesday the Sunday School
children were provided with the treat annually given
by Mr. A. Martin. They assembled at an early
hour in , the afternoon in a field adjoining Mr.
Martin's residence, where, after having amused
themselves at various games, they partook of a
plentiful supply of the refreshing beverage that
" cheers but not inebriate'," accompanied by huge
masses of cake, which rapidly disappeared. After
tea there was running, jumping in sacks, and various
competitive amusements, the conquerors in which
were awarded various prizes. As dusky eve
approached the children were assembled together,
and, having given three hearty cheers for the founder
of the feast, they returned to their homes, looking
forward with pleasurable feelings to their next merry
meeting.

M ARRIAGE. FESTIVITIES. edneaday lag WM
"high day" in this pleasant little village, the occs-
oion being the celebintion of the nuptials between
Miss Frances Jul -a Radclyile, second daughter of J.
C. Hadelyffe, Esq., of Hyde, with John Bosworth
Smith Marriot, Eeq.. of the 4th Dragoon Guards.
The happy couple arrived at the church,accomrinied
by a large party of friends, about eleven o clock, •
and the marriage ceremony was performed by the
Rev. W. F. Welyffe. uncle of the bride, assisted
by the Hey. Cal rinston Ley, rector of the parish.
Mr. W. Smith Marmot, brother of the bridegroom,
acted as "beat man" on the occasion, and the
lovely bride was given away by her father. A large
concourse of villagers assembled to witness the later-
eating proceedings. The bride wore a dressof moire
antique, tulle veil, and a wreath composed of orange
flowers, lilies and roses. After the ceremony the
bells sent forth a merry peal, and the pathway from
the church was strewn with flowers by the children
of the Misses Radelyffe's school, who were dressed
in white, and added no small attraction to the
picturesqueness of the scene. On their return to
Hyde, the bridal party sat down to • suniptous
dOjeuner, which was served up in the drawing-room.
The health of the happy pair having been drank,
they departed on their marriage tour to the Isle of
Wight, followed by the good wishes of the villagers
of this and the surrounding district. In the evening
the servants and neighbours were entertained with
true English hospitality, music lending its dulcet
charms to add to the pleasures of the day.—The
viands were supplied by Mr. Woolston of Dor-
chester, and gave universal satisfaction.

WANTON MISCHIEF.— On Sunday night, some
miscreants took oil one of the wheels of a cart
belonging to Mr. Cake and threw it into a stone
quarry, whereby it was smashed to pieces. They
also threw several gates off their hinges, and started
down the hill a wagon belonging to the landlord of
the Travellers' Rest. It is greatly to be regretted
the parties were not caught committing thaw out-
rages; a month on the treadwheel would probably
bring them to their senses.

found fully efficient to repel the invaders ; and if
God spared his life, should such an unhappy time

ROT AL AGRICULTURAL —SOCIRTIN bIICRTING.—The
Royal Agricultural Society held its annual exhibition
this year at Leeds, commencing on Monday and
concluding on Friday. The show is said to have been
the largest ever held. The show yard was immense ;
and the implements extended over an enormous space.
In the implement department there were 227 exhibi-
tors, and nearly 6,0001 articles exhibited; 25 parties
who showed seeds and models; and 55 entries of
machinery in motion. In the stock show, which wss
a first-rate one, the short-horns took the lead, num-
bering an even 200; of Herefords, there were only 38;
of Devons, 40. There were other cattle shown, inclu-
ding • few specimens of the excellent "polled" Suf-
folk, and 1101110 Bretoone's, one of which bad her calf
by her side, of the size of a spaniel. The show of
horses was wonderful, including no fewer than 250
entries. There were 65 entries for Leicesters, 44
Shropshires, 60 other long wools, 76 other short wools,
and 164 entries of pip. The horses formed a superb
class. Several of the stallions wore strings of medals
round their necks, commemorative of a store of
former victories. The beet roadsters had weathered 17
winters, mid was after all as perfect a liack as any
gentleman would wish to bestride. Amongst agricul-
tural horses, the famous owner of Babraham, Mr.
Jonas Webb, was the exhibitor of the first-prised, arid
a most magnificent Suffolk it was. As artless, the two.
rem-old fillies were the most perfect in the ',e.t.d.
H.R. H. the Prince Consort (who was remarkably sus-
cessfal in various breeds) took here the first class with •
Clyderdale, • very clean horse with good colour, but
the second horse, • red cheanut Suffolk, atm& us as
the finest and cleanest specimen of • cart filly we ever
Saw—a splendid shoulder, clean limbs and neck, arched ,
like an Arab's. The sheep were miracles of symmetrical
fat, and amongst them represented Sussex, Leicester,
Shropshire, Sussex, Oxford, and Hiunpehire. The pip
were of the sine of ponies, and the litters of the large
white breed were in capital condition. We counted
twelve fat young suckers in one pen. The Devon
breed was well represented from its native locality
and Somerset, Messrs. Hole, Turner, Bodley,
Farthing, Halm, Davy, Merson, Madan, and Pope,
being amongst the exhibitors. Many Dorsetshire an I
Somersetabire gentlemen were there—amongst others
Sir E. B. &her, Hon. W. H. 11. Portman, 11. P., Col.
Pinney, M.P., J. W. Buller, Esq., M.P., Rev. Dr.
Penny (Crewkerne,) Mr. E.Pope, Mr. Homer, Mr. T. H.
Saunders, Mr. Dunning, Mr. Henry Fookes, Mr.
Spooner, (Southampton), Mr. Moody, Holvray, Mr.
Meetens, Taunton, Am. There was • Dog Show, with
nearly 600 entries, comprising very large collections of
pointers, setters, pup, splendid bloodhounds, deer-
hounds, bull-dogs, he. The success of the Dorset and
Somerset brers with Devon cattle, considering the
great distance they had to travel, was highly to their
credit.

The CHAIRMAN : At this rate if the other three I

With mord to the prophecy of those who proplw•ied
that the Society would "go to the dogs," he believed lie

the noble army of vuluuteer4—to p.esurve their bra. the
and to make their homes snore canifortahle. (eh, r-.)
Asa why should they not 410 so, if it could be dote by

men who predicted they would mime to the dogs. lie
knew that working men in this part of the wintry were

of the times. They had the KRUM giant of enterprise in
Donheeter that actuated the working wen in our melee

society, except aa to numbers. In conclusion, he re-
masked that the more men prophesied against them
more they should unitedly strive to promote the objects
of the Botiety, and in_doiug /0 the more they would

which was nearly attended by fatal cenewortnces :
Four young men, member, of • ride corps, determined
to try their skill as marksmen by having a days sport
among the antlered denizens of the forest. They started
early in the morning, ani in due time arrived full of •
ardour and hope at the lilac. of rendezvous, and were •
not long in getting targets enough to put their shooting
qualities to the test. The superiority of their rifles wee .
soon demoustrated by the death of two odds step.
Fearing, however, that the loud report of their fowling, •
pieces might bring the foresters rather nearer them
than was ileairable, it was considered prudest to desist,
and in the meantime one of their number was dee- •
patched to the nearest farmaiteaciling for a home lele,
which the booty might be carried home, and skit - order. etre issued to him to be at a certain pleas is tits •

what they took to be another slog ors ti,. nap of the bill, without any consultation, simultaneamilyeaspeied their rides, and the object in view being within Noy range they were sure of hitting the mark. Ibis was
