IRELAND.

DUBLIN. Juxa e.

The meeting at Carlow to promote emigration on
an extensive scale took place yesterday, and was
most numerously attended by tenant farmers and
several Catholic clerg. Th- assembler wee brought
J toge:her by the Rev. anus Maher, a Ustholic clergy-
man of great notoriety a Irish agitation. Mr. Maher
made a long and interesting spech, which wi I find
nunserou readers In Ireland. He Olt forth all the
advantages of the States, and gave a most gloomy
piztare o' the preerecte of society in this country, and
I have no oubt his words will cause moth
effect, and it is not improbable but that
the meeting of yesterday is only the com-
mencement of an important a cial movement
which may rough
extend t the country. The p T
island, Tula-
time of the from evictions, misny, cholera, and
emigration, is likely to be thinned down sough to
middy any theorists. The necessity for organi-ing
smigsation was enforced at Carlow; but there was
one great omission in the proceeding,. There was no
vigorous sketch of the proposed plan laid before the
meeting, and there wu a superfluity of talk. Still,
however, the meeting is remarkable as exhibiting a
sympathy with America. If emigration continues to
increase there will be planted, before many years,
another Inland in the States of America, whose in-
fluence on affairs it it of course impossible to calculate.
Up to last night there was no order received for
removing 'he state prisoners- but Mr. Kevin O'Do-
herty has received a notim that the sentence in his
caw will be carried out, notwithstanding the recom-
mendation of the jury who tried him.
Dean Kirwan hes been promoted from the deanery
of Gort to that of Limerick, where he will succeed the
new bishop of Limerick. This recant exercise of
church patronage has given much more satisfaction
than the Knox appointment. The Limerick Ex-
esmimr, a Roman catholic journal, expresses its satis-
faction at the selection of such liberal diviner.
Evicti ns still continoe in all d ncioce. The
Ballinaslee Star mentions the particulars of the
driving out of fifty-six female, and the levelling of
the same number of hcutes at Billygar, in the count
of Galway. The board of guardian. at Limerick
have determined to institute proceedings against the
evictor of seventy-fire families, who did not verve the
peeper notice on the relieving officers.
The Duke of Norfolk's famous speech about curry
powder has almost been squalled by an oration deli-
vered at the Fernany board of guardians, in which the
noble earl said that the workhouse was much too com-
fortable. The Evening Post of last night handles his
lordship's speech with much severity, and recommends
him to try the experiment of living on two pence and
a half-farthing a day.
The sum of 1361 13s. was realised by the perform-
ance at the Theatre Royal, in which lire Majesty's
poor players gave their services gratuitously. This
sum included 101. from Lord Clarendon, tor the state
box. The newspapers of all part es gave advertise-
ments without charge.
Only one fellowship was given this year by Tri-
nity College, and t! c ltev. Mr. Wiileck was declared
the successful canaidaten Mr. Rutledge obtained the
Madden Premium. The answering was far
from being up to the maul mark. In the
haroed languages, especially, them was no-
ticed a great defic'ency on the part of the candi-
dates as compared with former years. Eleven gen-
tlemen werd at the same time chosen scholars of
the house. It is certain that Trinity College has been
seriously retrograding in its reputation for classical
knowledge, while it has increased its fame for
physical and mathematical knowledge. In the ex-
amination for fellowships mathematics are the most
important subject. The late retired Lloyd contem-
plated introducing a change, but unhappily he did
not live long enough to carry it out. Bishop Jebh has
censured the anti-classical system of the 1) shift, Uni-
versity with some severity, and the r, cent biographer
of the philosophic divine, Mr. Archer Butler, has alto
dwelt on the oils of the existirg system.
A fu-ther sum cf 961. has been received for the be-
nefit of Mr. Mi:chel, the wife of the convict. It sp-
pe as that of all the political actors of the last year
Mr. Dillon, the barrister, has got off best. He in
prsctisinv at New Yt rk, at d is likely to do very well
in his profession. His wife is about to h arc Dublin
in a few days for the purpose of joining him.

Helmet he required to visit the chief towns of Handal/-

lecting ramteptiene. It wee Nether resolved to urge epos
the admirers of Cromwell in each town to open subscription

PIT ACCIDENT MID LOOM OF THREE LIVES.—
Oa Thursday morning ea eminent occurred in a coal- it be-
longieg to Mama Spittle, at Black lake, near West Brom-
wich, by whisk three autortmaste men Lostanteneoutly lost
their lives, and a fourth was so crashed and mutilated as to
render hie rearere entente', dnahtful. The names of the

is so severely Waved is Lamed Deddient It apps trod the
deceased end Dedelneat west dews the pit as usual to week

opeeted by the" batty" and kis assistant, who found it ap-
parently sedidently safe fee the men to imenneento their
work. The mea began to work at a bed of coal which had
previously been " tadtegotte," or hollowed for the purpose
of being got dews, when the Idol. maas, estimated at seve-
ral toes, suddenly gave way, and fell upon them. Another
man employed la the mine was within a yard of the spot
when the fell took plats, and the end struck him on the
hue, bat happily without doing him any injury. An in-
quest was held the sante day, when the above facts frame out
in evidence, and the " hotly" and his assistant having d -

THE POI/10111HG CASE AT HALTWIIISTLIL—The
inquiry in this cam was resumed on the body of William
Hornsby, at Haltwhistle, on Monday. The inquest tenni-
nati d with a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Christiana
Hornsby, the wife of the Imeased.
THE " MORAL EFFECT" OF EXECIJTIONS.WO can
warmly iaagiae a more pointed instance, of ea utter disre-
gard of masettaences, and insensibility to the most awial
warnings which tie outraged laws of society hold out in the
punishment of criminals, tam the following. which, we are
aimed upon good authotity, is an undoubted fact: Ocly a
few aseneuts before K.ikcher apncared upon the teeffold on
Tuesday, lam week, to forfeit his life to the stern demands of
jostles, a group of individuals, apparently countrymen of the
criminal, ware &marvel upon the top of a shed opposite the
wraffold. edgier a game of cards; and just when the mount-
!al premeds. that accompanied him to the scene of executers
