DUBLIN, APRIL 25.
The news from London for the next few days is
looked for with great interest. It is very clear that
impulses to any political line of conduct must come
from the other aide of the Channel, as the public
here have none of that " originative energy" which is
so much wanted just now.
The Armagh Gazette Ades that Dr. Kieran will be
appointed to the catholic primacy. He has been ap-
pointed vioar capitular, though the Rev. Mr. Lennox
had a majority of the votes of the clergy.
Sir Arthur Blennerhasset, Bart., of Kerry, has
died, it is said, of cholera. Last evening it was
rumoured that a noble peer in the Bondi had died
from the same disease.

Miss Prendergast, a very aged lady, close upon her
80th year, was found murdered at Portunia% Lamle
on last Saturday morning. The news, when it first
reached hero, was not credited, but it turns out to be
true. She was a lady of eeoentric character and
habits, and kept no servant.
Father Mathew is to embark from Liverpool on
the 21st of next month by the packet Crshburton.
The Poor-law Commissioners have resolved on
enforcing the Roman catholic holidays in the case of
catholic paupers in workhouses. For doing so they
have been severely assailed in the northern prints. It
is quite deer that making catholica work on these
days (nine in the year) would be violating their reli-
gions feelings to same extent, and the Poor law is
unpopular enough without giving ita administration a
sectarian aspect.

Finn AT 0111EENOCK.—On Sunday morning a fire
was discovered to have broken oat in the connive sugar-
house M the Glebe there, the property of Meru,. Ebenezer
.Concsll sad Co. The ®re maintained its unabated fury for
about two hours, when the voltree beams, joists, and ming
gave way, earrying with them in their descent cistern., perm
pillar, and sugar moulds. The loss is estimated at about
20,0001., nearly one-half of which will, in all likelihood,
have been comprised in the value of the building and ma-
chinery. Clarence-street, opposite the sugar-house, was
covered to the depth of several inches with the boiling mo-
lasses, as it escaped from the interior of the house. The pre-
mise. and stock are both insured; the latter was large at
the time.
