Mose, having left Ballinuloe by special train at 2
rm. Yesterday his Excellency, accompanied by
Clanoarty, Mr. Howard, Commander Vase).
R.N., &c., passed through the Ballinssloe fair, and
visited the District Lunatic Asylum near that town,
use of the peculiarities of which is that the patients
an not under personal restraint. Dr. White, Inspec-
ts/ of Lunatic Asylums, stated to his Excellency that
Neer were 270 patients in the asylum, of whom 148
were males and 122 females and that of the former
70 were employed in agricultural labour.
Mr. Roes Moore, M.P., died yesterday afternoon
at his residence in this city, after a protracted illness.
The representation of the borough of Armagh thus
becomes vacant, and in anticipation of this result an
adjourned meeting of the conservative electors of
that town was held on Wednesday, for the purpcse
of selecting a candidate, when Mr. Bond, a politician
of the Derbyite school, war once more put forward
by his friends, but rejected by a large majority, hill
principles on the Maynooth question not being up
to the mark, according to the ultra views of the
meetiog.
The Cork Examiner, referring to the subject of the
harvest, says :
The harvest now gathered in affords a very gratifying
prospect to the agriculturist, being of sufficient abundance,
with the preterit high range of pries., to afford hint most
ample remuneration for the investment of his labour and
capital. Daring the gathering of the harvest, and indeed
daring the greeter part of the put year, the labourers have
been able to dictate term, and should no unforeseen einem-
stases occur to render winter labour less desirable than last
yes:, or to raise the cost of provisions to sit extraordinaryheight, we may reasonably hope for a comparatively com-
fortable seem for that portion of the working classes.
On the same important subject the following
report appears in the Bassin, Moderator of this
4.1111118 NW last agricultural report, which extended ap to
the lst ffisallinaber, we have had most favourable weather for
essaelmg dee late crops of bay and oats. This work has been
dear fa the best maaner, the former crop yielding an Misn-
ame supply, well eared. We regret, however, to have to
abate that oar meal crops have turned out precisely as we
had ana the quality everywhere varying much,
Ming , and bad. We can now sonfideady
shal• wheat, barley, and oats will average in
weight Mel Sibs. to albs. per bushel lees than last year;
sad although we had more land under wheat this season
than last, it will in no wise compensate for the deficiency
is good eau. Oar market already shows a difference of 10s.
par barrel is the prices of wheat. Prime well-saved hay is
also vary soiree, from the very bad weather the farmers had
to coatend with is June and July last. Our green amps, ,
however, are good, aad the potato crop is better than that
of last year.
The Rev. Mr. Peyton, P.P. of Blarney, having
refused to pay income tax, his horse has been seised
for the amount, and some local interest is excited
by the sale, which takes place to-day. Mr. Peyton
resists the tax on the ground that it is levied on
income derived from sources not recognised by the law.

AND AUSTRALIA.
A scheme is now before the governor of New South
Wales for a steam•packet communteation between Panama
and Tahiti, with tussah steam hats between Tahiti and
Sydney and Melbourne. Tahiti is to be the great entrepot
for the @Mu envies In the Pacific, sad the terminus of the
Moaners treat Australia and Panama. The steamers wit
end and the passe•gen be transhipped then. A different
elms ef daemon is to ran between Panama and Tahiti from
those running between the latter place and Australia. The
habour of Tahiti is a beautiful basin, pi/hotly predicted by
reefs, and docks could be formed there Inc • small outlay.
Labour is abundant and cheep there. When the steamer
Golden Age toughed at Tahiti to coal, 1,600 tons of coal
were placed on board in silty-five hours, and the expenee of
patting it on board was only 49. 2d. a toe. It is calculated
that the voyage between Australia and Tahiti amid be made
in thirteen days, and between Tahiti and Panama in
eights** days. New York would by this sc►eme ne brought
within forty-five days of Australia end England within fifty
days.

°MCI AL REBUKE OP THE WORCESTERSHIRE
ll•otavarrns.—lt tarn. out tbat the " Convicting Magis.
testes" of Worcestershire have been se wrong in their law as
in their Justice. The statute says "That a conviction may
take plum against any man for following his ordinary calling
on the sabbgh day." Now the ordinary calling of Nathaniel
Williams was that of a hired labourer, working for others for
his pay. Bat in saving his own corn he was no more cur.
thing his ddinary calling of a labourer for hire than would
be a berber .having hintself, or a tailor mending a rest in his
own garment. It is known to all lawyers that penal laws
should be oonstrued strictly, and that no paniAment
should be inflicted that is not strictly warranted by the
words of the act. TM. is the enacbuion of the highest
authorities; end the flemetary of State has directed the
magi:trates to be informed from the Home-office of the
illegality of their decision la this mast flagrant case.—
