CHRISTMAS " FESTIVITIES" AT DUBLIN. —Four
hundred primness were brought before the magistrates at
the two police-courts in Dublin oil Monday, charged with
drunkenness and offences arising therefrom. They had all
been arrested in the coulee of Saturday night and Sunday.
In consideration of the festive season they were very leniently
dealt with, being let off with small fines, except those who
had been rash enough to resistor assault the constables, and
who were mulcted in heavy penalties.
GREAT DESTROMON or FARM PRODUCE—On
Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, a fire was discovered
on the premises of Mr. Thomas 11111 a, of Newchurcb,
Roansymarsb, Kent. About 12 o'clock on Saturday
night the waggoner's mate, named Crust, returned home,
and before retiring to rest he went into the stable to see
that all was secure, and about three hours afterwards the
Lire was discovered. A messenger was despatched to New
Romney to procure the fireanguse belonging to the cor-
poration, which reached the scene of disaster about 5 o'clock.
Efforts were at first directed to prevent the fire spresdiog.
There were emend stacks of corn in the yard, Melodies
three of wheat estimated to amide 100 quarters. The
wheat stacks burnt rapidly, and the engine appeared to
have little effect in checking the flames. Ooe horse in the
stable perished, but four very valuable horses in a stable
near were liberated. A barn, containing a thrashing
machioe, a stack of untbrashed beans, and about 15 quarters
of beans io sacks. and modry agricultural implements, was
totally destroyed. There are ose or two bniklings con-
tiguous, but they escaped. The estimated loss is stated to be
near 6001., but we understand that the property is iosured
io the Alliameafice. Nothing is koown as to the origin of

the Are.

oung woman threw herself from the parapet of a lofty

and is said to have lived there only • few days, so that
little is known of her at present. The unfortunate creature.
who must have fallen from • height of 30 or 40 feet, was
precipitated is the area, and her mangled remains were
towards evening removed to ► neighbouring deadhouss.
