the best results may be aide:pita fte !no harvest.
The Press denies the propriety of pessiosing the
catholic °tarty, but calls the attention of imperial re-
formers to the advantage of giving glebe-lands to
the catholic clergy. For funds to provide the glebes,
it suggests two sources : I. The appropriation of the
balance of the loan raised in 1847 for -Irish distress ;
or, 2. The sale of the see and chapter lands, whose
rental is estimated at 130,0001. a year, which, at 5 per
cent. capitalised, would. give a fund of 2,600,0001.
The same journal gives in its adhesion to the views
promulgated by the new Reform League.
At a meeting of the Privy Council, held before the
Queen's arrival at Dublin, the Attorney-General
rely inquired after the health of a distinguishedjge, who had been ailing for some; ys. " Mr.
Attorney," was the humorous reply, " u may feel
quite easy about me. /om in horrible good health."
The death of the Hon. Cornelius O'Callaghan is
much regretted in this city, where he had several
friends. Of the Irish whigs he was one of the moat
manly and independent, and he entertained very
=pinions ou some popular subjects. He had
le abilities, but was never able to do justice
to them, owing to his defective articulation, arising
item his tongue being too large for his mouth.
The address from the Cork merchants to her
Majesty, which was so generally praised as a hearty
truthful piece of composition, was from the pen of a
gallant gentleman well known in the literary world,
Major Beamish, K.H., author of " History of the
King's German Legion," "An Essay on Cavalry
Tactics," and a variety of other works. The gallant
officer was formerly in the Guards, but he is now
the acting partner in the great brewery carried on by
the firm of " Beamish and Crawford."
Ball
r. Castle, in Galway, the seat of the
late Mr. Martin, DLP., has been converted into an
hotel.

sra RICHARD BarthKE.—The Limerick Chronicle
says : "We aro very happy to contradict the statementene in
the Lmsdln and Dublin parrs of the death of LieG
ral Sir Richard Bourke, K.C.B , as the gallant general is
alive and well at his seat, Tbornyille, near this city, to which
he rammed from Dublin, after paying his rupees to the
Queen at her Majesty's levee on Wednesday." Lieut.-Col.
Doyle, who was attached to the stag the household at the
Queen's rev;ew, has assumed his oasie a adjutantgeneral
in the Limerick district.

Tan CHINA STATION.—The Meander, 44, Captain the
U la. U. Koppel, alter the affair at Macao, left for Manilla
en reside to Borneo, to take part in Sir J. Brooke's exprdi-
flint against the pirates, but it is most likely that at Manilla
Ce.tain Koppel will receive his orders to proceed direct to
New Zealand, and after withdrawing the marine establish-
' ment from Port Essington and destroying the works. to go
on to the Pacific and join the flag of Re or Hanby,
C.B. The Meander's boats at the regatta at Macao, which
are, we believe, built on Lord John Hay's plans and dias•n-
'ions, beat the boats of the American men.of-war. The
other men.of-war in the Chinese seas are the Pilot, 12, Com-
mander Lyon•, at Amoy; Columbine, 16, Commander Hay,

)cedes, 6, 5t..21., Acting Commander Lockyer, on a visit to

in charge ; and Minden, storo-ship, Master Commander
Mitchell, at Hong-Kong. The Pilot was actively engaged
in hunting up the pirates.
Tins Clinging NATT.—The Governor-General of Fula-
kern and Che-keang reports having despatched a number of
powerful warjunks, under command of the admiral, agninst
the pirates of those sass, by which the latter were driven
out of the provisos towards Namos, where they were en-
countered by the squadron of that place, which, after a stout
resistance on the part of the desperadoes, succaeded in
' inking one of their junks, killing three and capturing
I fourteen of the crew. A few days afterwards two more of
the pirate vessels fell into the hands of the mandarins, and
were burnt. This being the only instance for many years of
a victory having been gained by the imperial fleet over the
buccaneer', all those officers who distinguished themselves
will be rewrnied. One naval cadet, who was killed la the
and boarding the enemy, has been promoted to the post-
humous mak of lieutenant, and his relations will receive
the =mot money granted to the frigid' of those who fall
battle.
