Donuts, DEC. 27.
The few provincial journals come to hand to-day,
do not contain any intelligence worth emu acting.
The morning metropolitan journals contain not much
of interest. The Beeman mentions the probability
of a fourth bill against Mr. Duffy. I have already
adverted to this as probable in my communications.
We have our Christmas bounties on a small scale,
as you have year large ones on a royal scale. His
Excellency sent a whole ox to the Mendicity on
Monday, and 200 loaves of bread. This is an institu-
tion long in existence here for the support ot casual
pauperism. The Lord Mayor has been dispensing
the corporate charities and his own. The inmates of
oar union workhouses have been regaled with meat
and beer, and generally our poor people have not
been without tasting the customary beneficences of
this joyous season.
Dr. ?Adige has had a triumphal entry into Team.
A long procession and an address greeted his arrival,
in the ecclesiastical capital of the west.
The farther argument on the demurrer in Mr.
Duffy's case will take place on Thursday, at the sit-
' ting of the owlet, but es the mar eel on both sides will
/ certainly occupy that whole lay, and not improbably
some portion of the next, we may conclude that no
judgment in the matter will pass tors year.
The Freeman's Journal contains an account of one
of those horrible cases ot death by starvation which,
from time to time, appal us ; and some people have
tte ineonsideratenees to look for the remedy of such
occurrences, not in the amendment of the poor law,
but in its abolition.

A SOROZON 6/10T.—A letter in the Freeman's JOUIII4I,
dated Letterkenny, Donegal, D 0. 23, says :—1 hasten tq
communicate to you intelligence of the murder of S. Dan 4
Esq., surgeon, who was shot dead at his own door, in that
town, about the hour of twelve o'clock, on Friday night
last. His house is in the public street, and the spot where
the deed of Mood was committed is more exposed, and
under view from a greater number of points, than any other
in the entire town. A great variety of conjectures are
afloat as to the mash= of an outrage so unusual in this
hitherto peaceable locality. The murdered gentleman was
a friend to the poor, and very liberal in his politics; in short,
he was extremely popular. He was, Unked, a great favourite
with alt who knew bees. Ha hod a smell ,state in tee eacinatain
districts of Olenswilly, worth about 9001. per annum. Fran
this property he evicted, two families about a fortnight ago
and bad made arrangements to proceed at the approaching
quarter serious on more ejectment processes. It is also
stated that ha was not on good terns with some relatives
of hie wife. There was a tall oat eb sat family property.
How this may be I cannot undertake toesy. But whatever
the muse, in a county like this, whers the people are
comparatively coattorta'Ast—amongst so many good and re.
sident landlords, and where no religious rancour or ani
silly exists, though there are so many sects of Christians,
'is Reilly a very sad affair, end should be very strongly eon-
.ffenusird. The lamented victim of the mama wee a pro-
testant, tall in perms, of accomplished manners, eery sem
easeful in his proteason, about 46 years of ag., and monied,
but without children. Satiety boa met with a great loss in
his death. Oa the morning alter the murder en inquest
was held, bet nothing likely to kad to the detec-
tion of the murderer was elicited. Wm. 11I'Laugh-
