IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AvorsT 10.

The improvement in the weather which commenced
yesterday still continues, and more cheering accounts
may be expected from the harvest fields.
Ihe seventh report on the district and other lunatio
asylums in Ireland, just presented to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, states that there has been a diminution in
the number of insane pc alone in Ireland to the ex-
tent of 1,605 within the last four years, the numbers
having been in 1851, 15,098, and in 1855, 13,493.
In the poor houses the number of lunatics was
2,393 in 1851, and only 2,000 in 1855. In the gaols
there is also a marked decrease of lunacy, the num-
bers confined in the former year being 500, and in the
present year only 156.

THEWS ARYL —On Sunday afternoon the wife of William
Siang, • bricklayer, of Or!acetone, Norfolk, was proceeding
to church with her little boy, three and • half years old.
along • thou lined with trees, when a storm came on, and
she took him up in her arms and went along with as
umbrella over her head. Suddenly, when near a tree, the
lightning streak her at the feet, and she felt, as she de-
scribes, as if her feet were suddenly taken off, her strength
intantinsously gone, and she was immediately unconscious.
She had net WOO the light of the flub, nor beard any sound,
although the electric fluid must have passed with a great
crash down the tree, which it tore as it passed, proceeding
throes along the ground to the poor woman's feet, tasting
open her boots and ripping up the whole length of hex
stockings, then passing up her body as far as her breast,
which as well as her legs are very much burnt ; and making
its way out through her dress over against her left breast
into the child which was held there, killed it—Cheimsford
