DUBLIN, Oar. 24
His Excellency the Earl of estrliele will proceed

to-morrow to open the new line of railway &givens
Bray and Wicklow, which completes the con-
nexion between the latter town and Dublin.
As might have been expected, the strange error of
the Belfast banquet committee, already alluded to
has been rectified ; the omission of the French Em-
peror's health from the list of toasts has been recon-
sidered, and it is now decided that it shall be given,
and that what was near being a very fatal interrup-
tion to the harmony of the approaching festivity
shall thus be avoided. In reference to this matter
' the Northern Whig says :
Uatd yesterday (Monday) the toast of "The Emperor of
the Fresek " a was on the list; therefore it is not tries
that it was removed from it at the instance of Dr. Moat
emery, as alleged by the Mercury; bat the toast of " Oar
AWee" was oe the list. It occurred to some mem-
bers of the committee that it was due to the most
valued of our allies to eekaowledge is a more
specific manner the good faith sad ability with which
he has fulfilled his *seamiest towards this country.
With that 'MI, it was proposed, at a meeting of the cum
mites last week, that the meet shoeild be " The Emperor
of the Preside and our Allies." This was objected to on
various grounds, sad the notice was lost on a division.
Souse were of opinion that to same the Emperor of the
Frisch Moe would be an unmerited slight to our other
allies, the Suites sad the Hine of Sardinia. Doctor Mont-
gomery, who voted in the majority, objected to the special
mention of the Emperor on 'mast of " his asueedente."
This wee, we thick, under the eireamstams of the ease, as
untenable objection, but it was one which any ma might
fairly pat forward without justly lacer:keg persoeal ob
loquy for so doing. Yesterday the question was further
sessldered is committee, and the result was that the opinioa
of those members prevailed who thought that if the health
elms of the soversigas allied to us was drunk by same
the ease compliment should be paid to the others also.
Accordingly it was settled that, after "The Queen and the
Royal Family," the following toasts should be druak in the
order is which we quote them : The Emperor of the
French," "The Sultan," " The King of " Oar
gallant Allies"
Account. have reached Ireland of the murder, in
Van Diemen's Land, of a Mr. William Graee, who
was formerly mayor and high sheriff of Kilkenny,
but whose name was mixed up with some unpleasant
transactions with reference to the Evans's Charities,
between the trustees of which fund and the Bank of
Ireland there is at present pending a litigation that
excites much public attention. It appears that the
unfortunate man resided at Portland Bay, where he
was engaged in the management of an extensive farm
belonging to his son-in-law, the owner of large pro
party in Van Diemen'. Land, and that having disap-
peared unaccountably for some time, a noted robber,
named Hockey Whelan, when under sentence for some
other crime, confessed that he had murdered him,
and indicated the spot where his body would be
found, and where accordingly his remains were dis-
covered in a shockingly mutilated state. It was ru-
moured that Mr. Grace would shortly return to Ire-
land to appear as a witness in the trial between
Evan's trustees and the Bank of Ireland.

The officers who proceed in the Dalhousie from
Cork to Malts, in command of the drafts which were em-
barked on Monday are :—Major Meredith, 41st, Captain
Pilkington. 47th. and Captain Darrausten, 65th. Drafts of
the 39th, 89th, 17th, one 9th Regiments are expected to
arrive is Cork garrison. is the coarse of the day, from
Limerick, to await embarkation for the east.
PRESENTATION TO CAPTAIN TAM AN, OF THE BRA
NYMPIL—An elegant service of plate, consisting of a tea and
coffee set, with a salver, has lately been presented to
Cant. Tall's. The salver bears the following ineeription :
" Presented to George Harris Tallan, by the underwriters
on the Boa Nymph steamer, se a testimony of his seaman-
ship mid presence of mind, which, under God, preserved
her in the hurricane of the 14th of November, 1854, off
Espatoria." Captain Tallan's successful efforts on the
occasion referred to, when so many splendid vessels were
shattered to pieces on the shore, eminently deserved the
public reeogoitios which they have just recsived.—Beyemt
New Leiter.
MR. JOHN CARDEN.—A movement is on foot for
the liberation from gaol of this gentleman, now sixteen
months imprisoned in a prison cell for his indiscretion and
folly. A petition Is in Donne of signalers fur presentation
to the Lord Lieutenant, praying an exercise of his Excel-
lency's clemency in Mr. Carden's behalf, whose health has
been so shattered by the rigoars of a prison life and disci-
pline that it is problematical if he will ever he restored to
his previous health and strength.—Nereaseh Guardian.

England, perhaps the most civilised and enlightened country
in the world, the costume of the bar was pnsonsed to add to
the dignity of the mart. There was nothiog in the climate
