DUBLIN, APRIL 23.
TM mei which I communicated by electric tele-
Mallmillisisas Francis Meagher, one of the
et the Young Irelander in the pro-
s...
abseils of 1848, has escaped from his
is Vas Disesn's Lead, beam known in
Ihis and piie treated met a little
The has been reasived in a
itirWar by . Orissa% from which
oald only appear that rode his escape after
having written a letter to slab that he would not
renew his parole, end when a pelimmen sent to look
after him was acirmally in the home, and had spoken
to him. This is mentioned for the purples of
_freeing
him from the imputation of having Wismemed him-
self by breach of parole. He escaped, no doubt, 1
after all his arrangements bad been oompletted, but
nothing is stated of his having got on dflp-board,
and removed himself effectually beyond the reach of
the authorities. Several police had been sent in
pursuit of him, but all to no purpose.
A memorial to the Lord-Lieutenant, praying for
a remimion of the sentence upon Mr. Smith O'Brien
and his companions in exile, was yesterday put in
circulation, and in the course of a few bouts received
a number of influential signatures.
The Lord Chancellor gave judgment yesterday is
a case of considerable interest, namely, that involv-
ing the validity of certain bequests made by the lets
Mr. Keatinge, of Waterford, to some religious orders
in the south of Ireland, the chief objection taken to
the bequests being the illegality of such orders in
this country under the provisions of the Catholic I
Emancipation Act. The Lord Chancellor held that I
one of those bequests made to the monastery of '
Shandon being for the benefit of the poor children
of the neighbourhood who attended its schools, and
therefore for a good and charitable purpose, was
valid, and could be administered by. any of the
monks who were members of the community at the
time of the testator's death; but upon their failure
by death a scheme should be prepared by the master
for the administration of the trust, under the court,
in favour of the poor children. This scheme, however,
was not to be devised for the present. The bequest
to the monks of Mount Melleray hie lordship
held to be invalid, as he could not regard
it as exhibiting a general charitable intention, and
also because the person who was at the head f the
monastery, at the death of the testator, had since ,'
died, and could have no legal successor. This be-
quest, therefore, should devolve to the residuary
legatee.
A deputation from Galway waited to-day on the
Lord Lieutenant, at the Viceregal Lodge, for the
purpose of presenting a memorial requesting his ex-
cellency's eo-operation in support of an application to
government for a grant of 120,0001., to be expended
in the mastraotion of a pier and breakwater at Gal-
way. His excellency listened with marked attention
to the statements, and assured the deputation that
they should have, all he could pledge himself to for
the present, his goodwill in the promotion of their
object. As resettled the establishment in Galway of
a transatlantic packet station, which had been
alluded to by some of the deputation, he feared that
at present the report of the commissioners in favour
of Holyhead would stand in the way of that ; but, as
far as his own views and opinions were concerned,
he would wish that the whole traffic between Ame-
rica and the United Kingdom should pass
.through
Ireland. He promised to give his best consideration
to the proposition now laid before him, and to com-
municate with the government on the subject in the
course of a week.
APRIL 21.
The liberal club of Longford, presided over by Mr.
J. L. °Terrell, brother of the Right Hon. More ,
O'Ferrall, M.P., held a meeting on Wednesday, for
the purpose of selecting two liberal candidates for
the representation of the county at the approaching
election. Three candidates were introduced to the
club—Mr. R. M. Fox, the senior sitting member,
Colonel Oreville, and Mr. H. G. Hughes, Q.C., the
late Solicitor-General. A warm debate took place,
each of the candidates addressing the meeting in
explanation of their respective principles; but the
upshot was that Mr. Fox and Col. Greville were
selected as the candidates, the insurmountable
objection to Mr. Hughes being that he held office
...mkt the late gtivernithent.
Mr. William Kirk, of Keady, will offer himself as
a candidate for Newry on liberal and free trade prin-
ciples. He is a convert from the conservative party.
The liberal electors of Belfast have, it is said, after
a great deal of discussion and deliberation, resolved
to all on Mr. William Coates to come forward as
their candidate at the next election. Mr. Coates
being at present absent from Belfast, the decision of
the electors has been conveyed to some friends com-
missioned to act for him, and they, it is said, have
accepted the invitation on his part.
In the case of the prosecution of Birth, the pro-
prietor of the late World newspaper, for libels
against Mrs. French, daughter of Mr. Brewster, Q.C.,
the necessary proceedings were taken to-day for
striking a special jury. The trial is to take place at
Bar, in the Court of Queen's Bench, at the sittings
after the present term.
The man named Walsh, convicted at the late
amines in Kilkenny of a murder committed five years
ago, was executed on Thursday. A few hours before
his execution the wretched man made an attempt at
Wields by forcing a sharp-pointed stick into his ear,
hoping to penetrate the brain. A convict named
Ahern, under sentence of death at Waterford, for a
conspiracy to murder, had his sentence commuted to
transportation for life.
