and a man named Houlihan, were charged with setting fire
to • dwelling•house in which then) were some men, a
woman, and children. The Messrs. O'Coosell owned a
house seer Kanturk, which was held by a person named

set Ore to the thatch in two places, aid burned the house
to the ground. Doherty, with his wife and children,
escaped through a window, hut, it was alleged, was himself

MANCHESTER ASSIZES.—TIie first assizes held in
Manchester will commence next Tuesday, when Lord Cbiet
Justice Cockburn and Mr. Baron Pigott will open the com-
mission. Oe the acme day the high sheriff end judges will
attend divine service in the oathedraL On Wedoesday the
charge will be delivered to the greed jury in the Crown
Court, and the ordinary Miriam' of the scenes will be pro-
ceoled with. On opening the commission cm Tuesday it le
thought probable that the Lord Chief Justice will take
en opportunity of addressing the magistrates then assembled
with reference to the provision made is the new amiss courts
for the administration of justice. These courts have been
erected io the gothic style of architecture, from designs by
Mr. Waterbome, a local architect, and the building will
undoubtedly take rank as one of the finest specimens of the ,
style in this country, independent of its merits es one at
ones commodious sod well adapted for the purposes for
which it has been erected. The county magistrates are es.
ported to be so highly satisfied with the services of Mr.
Waterhouse u architect that they are about to road* to
him the design of the new county gaol to be erected
behind the maize courts, and in coemzion with them
The calendar for these assizes is not likely to be a heavy
one. There are two cases of murder, one of them a child
murder, and two cues of shooting with intent to murder.
id The other charges are foe burglary and other offences of as
ordinary character, such as usually go to swell the list of
offenses triable at assizes.

day evening to see the stream of tramps, beggars, sharpers,
thieves, coeterniongers, fro., that passed from the=7;
through Bridge-street to the low lodging-houses in Simnel-
area. The seise wee like • meal's May of
them were ragged sad shoeless, and were in full trot—.
evidently to mare the softest plank to sleep on is the
traveller's rest. They came by came rail from Winchester
feces, which were then just over. At the railway station
extra policenies were placed to guard the parcel and
luggage vans from the preditory horde that heralded the
Isthmian games on Southampton-oommoe. The next two
days excursion trains came from Portsmouth, Salisbury,
Exeter, and Brighton. A number of Loodon omnibuses
