IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Burr. 14.
It is a pardonable piece of vanity that Irishmen
should be proud of the position which their country-
men occupied in the heroic ranks before which the
great Crimean citadel has fallen. In the melancholy
lists of killed and wounded among the rsok and file a
good spriekling of Irish names will no doubt be
found ; but among the °Goers who fell or were
wounded on the glorious Bth several of the Irish
gentry may also be recognised. The ilveinan's
Journal thus exultingly alludes to this subject :
Amongst the killed and wounded we find in this, ea In all
Preceding battles, a large number of oar own enuntrynsea—
first in death, as they were in harms= ; and though no
words of sympathy with the eMry that shivered. the
name of the fallen brave can wage the &egoist% of
their bereaved friends, we feel confident that there are,
even amongst the softer see, many whose sorrow will
be alleviated by the conviction that thous whom they
so tenderly loved died the death of heroes, and died
not in +aiu. Amongst those who tell on this occasion tea
were

An atrocious murder is described by the Anglo-
Celt ss having occurred at a place called Ballyhaise,
within four miles of Cavan, some time between
the SOili of August and the Bth of the present month.
The victim was a poor old man named James Smith,
known as the " Counsellor," from the frequent law-
suits in which he was engaged. He was last seen
returning from a fair on Thursday week, and on last
Thursday his body wee in Lisagoan Wood, with his
head split quite through, and a portion of the skull
lying at some yards' distance. It appeared that he
was lately successful in some suit about a small farm,
and unless the murder can be attributed to that cir-
cumstance, no other canoe an be guessed at. An
inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of wilful
murder against some person or persons unknown
was returned. Hoarsest las yet been made for the
'rinse.

Mr. Hotelman, chief secretary, has arrived in
Dublin, and brought with him a superb stud of
hunters for the season.

The Italian company wound up their visit to
Dublin with a brilliant and well attended concert last
evening.
The weather continues most favourable for saving
what is celled the " poor man's harvest"
The following paragraph appears in the Clonmel
Chronicle :
A geatleman who resides near the locality where a portion
of the b.; of Allen theensing detached was moved to some
distance in the direction of Dundrum has informed us that
its present appearance is very singular. In the centre of
the detached sew a chasm has been formed sad the surface
water is dewing dawn Into it with greet force, and in consi-
derable quantity, while there does not appear to be any out-
let by which this great influx of water might disgone itself.
It is supposed that if a vent is not formed the bog must even.
and before long, again be raised sad carried further
on its destruelve course. We have been favoured with the
following extract, taken from a Mama paper, dated 1788, ,
by our 'element :—The fellswing may be depended on :
A large bog, of 1.500 scree, lies between Dundee= and
the city of Cashel, is the county of Tipperary,
about 22 miles from Limerick, the entre of which towards
the south gave way on Thursday, the 27th Marsh last, at
about 12 o'clock at Boom, and has been in notice ever since,
at least until Wednesday es'neight, when our correspondent
bad on that day, at the same hour, gone to see its progress,
and on the beet calculation says, that the discharged
body had then covered about 160 three in length, and about
60 in breadth, carryiag with it every tree, cinch, and any
other matter it had met with in its way, tearing large ash
trees ft fa their meta, and two sr three cabins ; it had then
got mg a small river leading to Golden Kam, near two miles
from this bog, which had advanced its progress ; there are
several ends in the opposite part of the bog, which the
adjacent to the estate of :oohs Ride, Baq., end ass covered
pert of his ground. There had been two large ponds in the
centre of the bog, 'opposed to be very deep, and it is
imagined a body of water has got under the bog which
caused its motion.

height of summer, in more northern latitudes. Those 1
flakes nosy be worked by manual labour, or by horse,'

one man ear week 16 parkas with oemparative ease.
This is the number usually required to fan the ocespenta of
32 beds, arranged in pairs, in adjoining teems, as is hospitals
in ladia. The apparatus may he so applied as to work the
punkas in adjacent baildinp, the connecting licks being
brought to the same focus, or moving power, if that of

puska may be arrested without affecting the onward move-
ment of the rent, and set in meti..n again at the will of the

only who have experiessed the discomfort of rootless nights
in a hot climate, can duly appreciate the luxury of suck a
