officially avowed on the part of my collapses sad nimialf;
and I shall be ever reedy, as • member of the legielatare,
to oppose a policy wash I consider ungenerous, and wah
I believe to be inexpedient. And now, an bidding farean
to a country which I love as if it were my own—ad sai a
people whose goad qualities I bare learned to appreehte,
I beg, in all sincerity of heart, to assure you of my &tore
devotion to your interests, and to offer up to Almighty Cod
my humble prayer that a brighter and a happier distal
may be in store for Ireland.
An address was also presented by a deputation of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The officers of the garrison took the occasion yes-
terday of presenting the Countess of Eglinton wida
a magnificent bracelet, set with bnlllants and
emeralds, and bearing the inscription :—" To Teresa,
Countess of Eglinton and Winton, by the Officers of
the Staff and Household, in memory of 18.52."
The county of Cavan election has been fixed for

Dr. O'Higgins, the Roman catholic bishop oft
Ardagh, so well known as the supporter of Dr.
*Hale in the crusade against the National Educa-
tion System, died on Monday. He will be succeeded
by the coadjutor, who has had the management of
his epiacofal duties for some time, owing to Dr.
O'Higgins s ill health.
The convict Kirwan has not yet been removed to
the Spike Island depot, one of his medical friends
having given a certificate of delicate health. The
most earnest efforts are now being made by his
friends to have the sentence upon him altogether
annulled.

Mr. Sharman Crawford has published a long letter
to the tenant farmers of Down, on the tenant right
question as it now stands. The letter is a very tem-
perate one. Mr. Crawford mays :
I have been called upon for a public expression of my
views from different quarters. It has been urged that a
strict adhesion to the details of my bill, which the hon.
member for the oounty of Kilkenny has introduced, would
be an impediment to any reasonable settlement of the land-
lord and tenant question. I recommend no such adhesion.
I do not oppose the aceeptance of a Compensation Bill.
But I claim such a bill se would give, not a delusive, but a
real security for tenants• industry. The question, how-
ever, of the course to be taken on the re-assembling of
parliament should not be decided by the judgment of any I
individual. I would venture to suggest that, before that
time comes, a meeting of the friends of the cause, and of
the members favourable to it, should be held in Dublin, fo•
the parries of ascertaining the sense of the country on the
subjoin.
