Acknowledging a oomplimentary letter from the
Sheffield Town Council, on the subject of the Sebastopol
Committee, Kr. Roebuck writes —" We have discovered
and proved that rest mistakes have been made, and this
is the first step towards a remedy of the existiog evils.
That this remedy will be applied I confidently hope, and
may promise my friends that no exertion of mine shall be
wanting in order to insure the reform which has now been
proved to be essentially necessary."
Thelend between Lords Cardigan and Lucan will
not be lessened by the last appearance of the latter noble
hard in print. Lord Lucan states that he has every reason
to believe that his message, relative to the light cavalry, on
the 26th of Oct., which Lord Cardigan denies having re-
ceived, was delivered to the noble earl by Lord Biagham. " I
quite admit that I did isotopia to his lordship on the subject—
never having, ea any one occasion, to my recollection,
allowed "myself directly or personally to remark upon any
oat of Lord Cardigan's." Earl Lucan is no less positive that
• message wee wavered to him from Lord Cardigan, object-
iag to the position of his (Lord Cardigan's) brigade. In
oonelasion, Lord Lunn says he believes the plan attached to
his pamphlet to be generally correct—" certainly not less so
than the deeeription given in his Lordship's present letter,
and in the speeches in which his Lordship has at such length
and on different excesicies, brought his services before the
public."

The meeting held in Cork on Wednesday, to select
between the several candidates for the representation of
the Gouty; preparatory to the approaching election, did
not lead to the hoped-for result. Three candidates, all

Alesseder M'Carthy, and Mr. Deasy, Q.C., oppose one en.
other • and it is not impossible that at the eleventh hour
a Derlryke may appear on the Multiage, and carry off the
bone of 'satiation.
