DrAtm, MAlleit 28.
The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarcn-
don, with a party, proceeded yesterday to llowth
Castle to spend the day with the noble proprietor.
The committee of the projected Roman catholic
university held a meeting yesterday to receive a re-
' port of the amount of contributions made at the
simultaneous collection on the 16th inst. The sum'
' handed in yesterday is stated to have been 7,0001.,
' of which over 2,0001. were contributed in Dublin and
its vicinity. But it is added that, " owing to the
anxiety of the contributors to increase their collec-
tions, the returns from a great number of districts'
have been delayed, and no money has yet been for-
warded." On the whole, it would not appear that'
' the collection has come up to the anticipations of it
that were entertained.
A property containing 422 acres, held on lease for
ever at a yearly rent of 881. 4s. 11d., was sold yes-
terday in Cork, under an order of the Encumbered
Estates Commissioners, fur 2,6001. According to a
valuation furnished to the commissioners, the full
. I value of the property was 2,6201.
