IRELAND.

• Demur, Alio. 4.
All boldness Is suspended between religions fer-
vour and political excitement. The obsequies of Mr.
O'Connell, at Marlborough-street Chapel, have at-
tracted within and without the walls a vast assem-
blage, and, though the rain descends in torrents, the
good admiring citizens, who cannot enjoy the spec-
ie& and the eloquence inside, remain tranquilly and
patiently outside. The interior of the church pre-
sented a grand and imposing spectacle. It is illu-
minated by. the light of a thousand tapers. The
catafalque is decorated with great richness, and
bears appropriate inscriptions on its several com-
parents. Around it, and filling the whole of
the principal aisle of the edifice not filled by
the dallfikllo, are ranged the prelates and clergy
of the Roman catholic church. There were
present two archbishops, sixteen bishops, and very
close urn a thousand priests, both of the secular and
monastic orders. The admission to the church was
by tickets, gratuitously distributed by the committee,
which defrays the expenses of the funeral. Along
the quays where the city contest goes on, there is a
still greater crowd pushing, jostling, and swearing.
In College-green the excitement is lees, for there
" the gentlefolks do congregate "—there the broad
bats and stainless cravats of the protestant clergy,
hurrying to the college hustings, most predominate.
To-morrow being O'Connell's funeral, the excitement
is not likely to abate.
Mayo had a large share of the public money under
the Labour Rate Act, and some of the results are
apparent in the number sf applications for compensa-
tion for damages. They amount to 8,000, and the
aggregate of the claims to 30,0001., which will be
placed on, the ensuing levy. This number is We-

pendent of claims for compensation to landlords or
owners in fee, which have been postponed.
Hew employment would operate to the relief of
property is exemplified in a fact stated by the Mayo
Coriatitution. A Mr. I•'iod, a small proprietor in the
neighbourhood of Castlebar, had obtained a grant for
drainage: "By this means," says that local paper,
" upwards of 90 families are removed from the relief
lists, and remuneratively employed at wages varying
from 10d. to Is. a day, with benefit to themselves and
luting advantage to the landlord."

PROVINCIAL.

ON SUNDAYS.-At the petty sessions, Old-
ham, on Monday, forty-four inhabitants of Crompton and
Hoyton were summoned at the instance of the county con-
stabulary, on charges of having done " certain worldly
labour in their ordinary calling, to wit, hay-making on the
Sabbetb-day."—Two policemen gave evidence on the part of
the complainant—Mr. Hunt, solicitor, contended that the
defendants bad only been doing work which was inevitably
neineuary, as at the time they were doing it there was a pros-
pect of unfavourable weather.—Mr. Ascroft stated that
several of the defendants had only been taking advantage of
the fine weather at the time the charge was laid, in order to
get in their hay as soon as possible.—Mr. Mills cautioned
them toile careful as to their future conduct, assuring there
that they bad been guilty of an improper practice.—Them
of the cases were dismissed, and the remainder of the defen-
dants were required to nay coats.

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT.—The statement that has
gone forth respecting the execution of Mary Ann Millner, at
lisincoln, on Friday last, is incorrect. The unfortunate
woman hung herself in her cell a few hours before the ap-
pointed time. A■ inquest was held on the bode on the
following day, and a verdict of felo de se was returned. The
error arose through the officials at the gaol allowing a report
to be circulated that Millner had been privately executed
within the walls of the prison.—Standard.

DOKINICA.—The nine of government have, dining Colossi
Macdonald's visit to England, been left tempsearay in the
hands of the Hon. Jame* L. Bremner, senior member of
council, " the tint creole of Dominic* who has gained the
honour of repreeentirtg Ktrre.—The new
liestenant-governor, It. J. Mackintesh, Esq., arrived on the
29th of June, and took the oaths of adios the same day. He
came in a merchant•ship from England, accompanied by his
lady and four children.
BAHAMAS.—There have this season been shipped
for London and New York, from New Providence and Eleu-
thera, 12,99,5 dozens of pines, exclusive of those sent to Eng-
land by steamers, and a still larger quantity by transient Yes-
eels to the United States. Commisionere of roads for the Out
Islands have been appointed. The Turk's Island Gazette
announces that the salt trade had been enlivened by the
arrival of several vessels from the Windward Islands. The
saltmaking was very general on the two Cays, and at East
Harbour, and would continue till the rains, which seldom
commence before September. The price of this staple was
quoted at 9 cents. Mr. C. I'. M'Cartity, late rub-collector
at these Islands, had been appointed auditor, accountant-
general, and controller of revenue at Ceylon. The schooner
Violin had arrived with 14 jars quicksilver, and a ton of
copper, picked up from under the chains of the Tweed. A
Yucatan man-of-war chased her, but fruitlessly.

ARRIVAL OF THE ERIN.—The Oriental Company's
steam packet, Erin, Captain Thos. Russell, with the S.nith-
ampton portion of the overland mail, from India and the
Mediterranean, arrived at that port yesterday afternoon, and
landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Gardner, R.N.,
Admiralty agent.: They were forwarded to London by the
midnight mail train.
LIGHT-HOtreE FOR THE CAPE.—Several package*
have arrived by a steamer from Havre, containing a large
quantity of lenticular lanterns, and light-housel apparatus,
for the new government light-house about to be erected at
I the Cape of Good Hope. Orders have been given by the
Agent-General for Crown Colonies for the same to be shipped
immediately on board a vessel now loading in the docks, and
bound to the Cape ; and—as the numerous packages con-
tain a quantity of revolving lights and plate-glass of a
very valuable description, forming, when attached, the
entire portion of the apparatus in • complete state—
permission has been requested of the proper authorities, and
their sanction obtained, for the greatest care to be taken in
the necessat7 partial examination previously to their being
reshipped, in order that the apparatus may not be injured.

EDINIII7IIOII, AUGUST 4.
The poor-law assessment is rising rapidly. In the city
it was 9 per cent. last year ; this year it is to be 11 per
cent-, with 1 per cent. additional for industrial schools,
the only item that is at all tolerable. In St. Cuthbert's,
which locally, although not parochially, is in Edin-
burgh proper, the assessment last year was 71 per
cent; and it is to be the same this year, In the
Canongate, another town pariah, the amount is 15
per cent. ; and as the inhabitants of this district are
very poor, they have for some time been soliciting
amalgamations with the other two parishes—a move-
ment which, having been sanctioned by a committee
of the board of supervision, is not unlikely to be
granted. It is searcely creditable to Edinburgh that
it should still continue to be divided into three paro-
chial divisions, especially as the partition causes great
inequality in the incidence of ecclesiastical, municipal,
and all kinds of taxation, besides complicating many
points in jurisdiction as to sanitary improvements;
and it were well if local legislators were now to bid
farewell to general politics and wind home matters.

By a quarter-past 2 o'clock the firemen had got the Heron

THE PRMILIN MURDER.

The details of this domestic tragedy, and the innu-
merable rumours to which it has given birth, fill the columns
of all the Paris journals of Friday and Saturday, The fol-
lowing particulars are dkea from the Gazette des Tribu-
&MS.

" The operations of justice continued on Wednesday
evening, and during part of the night, at the hotel Sebes-
tiani. The magistrates, who did not retire before two
o'clock in the morning, to take some neceisery repose, re-
turned in the morning at seven o'clock to the theatre of
the crime, to continue the operations of the inquest, and to
commence the examination. Wednesday was devoted to
the examination of the premises, and of the meteor the
corpse ; to the seizure of articles likely to lead to the die
covery of the criminal ; to investigations in the hotel, and
particularly in the apartments of the Duke de Praalin ; and
to the examination by medical men of his person. Yesterday
the examination was resumed, whilst the embalmment of the
body took place, under the direction of M. OrannaL Two
of the clergy of the church of Madeleine had prayed
by the corpse all night, From the very first moment at
which the officers of ustice arrived in the hotel, a very grave
fact was noticed. • apartments occupied by the duke
end duchess era situated on the ground floor ; by an ante-
chamber opening on the flight of steps, there is a communi-
cation at the left with the boudoir, then with the duchess's
bedroom ; at the right a little room precedes the bedroom of
the duke, which touches the walls of the Elude Bourbon.
In examining the floor it was discovered that a bloody trace
marked the passage from the bedroom of the duchess Ist
that of the duke. At the same time there was received the
testimony of a domestic, who, attracted by the cries of the
femme-de-chanibre, bad, after useless efforts to open the
door of the duchess's bedroom, gone rouud the hotel in
order to attempt to arrive in time to render assistance to
him unfortunate mistress, by entering at one of the win-
dows opening en the garden. The domestic declared that
at the moment at which he arrived in the garden, he per-
ceived a man of the height and appearance of the duke, who
hearing the noise of his footsteps, withdrew suddenly into
the interior of the bedroom, abruptly quitting one of the
windows which he had just opened, in order, without doubt,
to make it be believed that it was by that issue that the
murderer had obtained entranee. Among the objects found
in the chamber, in which everything, as we have said, was
in disorder, was a pistol loaded with balls, and bearing a
percussion cap. This pistol, which has been recognised as
belonging to the Duke de Prelatic, was not only stained with
the blood into which it had fallen, but it bore on the butt-
end fragments of flesh end on the face and skull of the
victim there was found the trace of blows which retained
the marks of the arabesques and hollow chiselling, which
had been executed by the workmen. Is presence of such
indications, orders were obliged to be given that the Duke

EDINBURGIT. AUG. 20.
The minutes of the Edinburgh committee of the
Privy Council, so far as they are applicable to Scot-
land, are giving great dissatisfaction to the parochial
schoolmasters, who will likely organise some oppo-
sition. The chief points of objection are the preli-
minary examinations insisted on in the minutes : the
schoolmasters do not, however, object to inspection.
They also complain that the government grants are
made dependant on increased voluntary assessment
by landed pleprietors. The scheme will suit the free
chtirch schools better, as their arrangements being very
much in embryo they can easily square them to suit
the pans of the council.
Madame Oriel is to be brought down to Edinburgh
as a set-off against Mdlle. Lind, whose appearance
she is to anticipate by a few days. The tickets for
Jenny's concert have for some time been bearing pre-
miums both in the Edinburgh and Glasgow rialtos.
Things are rather looking up for the million. The
herring fishing in the north continues abundantly
prosperous, and at Cullen cod is se plentiful that in
one slay 200 were taken with hand-lines. Showers'
wages, too, which nobody should grudge, are from
13s. to 20s. per week in Stirlingshire.

public. They therefore demanded new concessions from the
Austrian government, which the latter will accord, if not
prejudicial to the general interests. Cracow has been
allowed to supply it.elf for a whole year, free of
all duty, with all the articles necessary to its consump-
tion." The Austrian Ooserrer &Ids that proof hes been
obtained that Cracow and its territory formed a central
depot for smuggling at the expense of the frontier countries ;
and that commercially as well as politically, the republic was
a centre of intrigues hoetile to the neighbouring government..
It add., that though the Austrian government endeavours to
benefit the population of Cracow, with respect to the con-
aumption of foreign articles, and though it accords favours
to the merchanlise in depots, it cannot permit smuggling,
which is injurious to honest trade, and to the interests of
neighbourbiF countries.
TURK LI( .—CONSTANTINOPLE.—From Alexandria
we learn that news had arrived in Cairo from Mecca, stating
that a devastating prstilence bad broken out among the
pilgrims, and that an nine days no lest than 15,0/0 victims
had been swept away by it.

• BELGIUM.—BRUSSELS, FEB. 10.—CrLTIVATION
Or WAIiTZ Lams.—The Chamber of Representatives was
engaged yesterday and this afternoon with the discussion of
the project at law relating to the reclaiming of waste land',
of which there are very extensive tracts in this country. The
authorities of the province of Luxembourg, which contains
much waste land, have expressed themselves in favour of
increasing the number of tenant proprietors, by making over
for ever to small agriculturists a quantity of waste
land, upon the condition that it be reclaimed within
a reasosiable time, and that all the land already
in their pesisession be duly cultivated. The authori-
ties of the provinces of Antwerp ond•Limburg have also
painted out the advantages of cultivating the waste portioes
of the soil, and have forwarded petitions to government for
their co-operation and existence. That co-operation and
that aid the government appear very willing to give, for the
Minister of the Interior, notwithstanding the singular oppo-
sition of certain communes, has brought forward many argu-
ments in support of a bill for the expropriation of waste
lands upon equitable conditions, and for granting a fund for
encouraging the cultivation of such tracts. It is supposed
that the project of law will be pared. The weather has set
in again with increased severity.

AN ADVENTURE IN THE-
SNOW.—On Monday two gen-
tlemen, Mears. Wrigley and Sidebottom, left Manchester
for the parpoac of surveying the boundary between the
counties of Derbyshire and Yorkshire. They left the train
at the Woodhead station ahout nine in the morning, and
thence walked as far as Ilolme Moss and turned westward.
Whilst on their way the snow storm came on ; the familiar
landmarks were soon n%literated ; they lost their way, and
remained wandering in the snow and resting in a hole in
the rocks without food for 26 hours ! During the night they
had great difficulty in keeping off the fatal drowsiness
known to be irduced by extreme cold, and were in a most
dreadful plight when morning came. With returning light
they were fortunate enough to discover a farm-house, where
food and warmth restored them.

COMMERCIAL & MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Half-past Two.—We have had an uneasy market
this morning in the funds, and it is evident that even the
discussion of a motion so wild as that of Lord George
Bentinck tends to excite apprehension in mercantile and
moneyed circles, and more especially in the minds of the
higher order of capitalists. The bare possibility that, by
some manoeuvre and combination of parties, such a
motion might be carried, and, as a consequence, be fol-
lowed by • dissolution of the present government, is not
calculated to mitigate the alarm, for the country, in such a
case, would find itself without an administration in a eon-
tincture of emirs without parallel •, for, even were the ultra-
Tore party able to muster a ministry (which, for want of
men of competent ability and experience, maybe doubted), it
would command no confidence in the nation, even if it were
possible to obtain a majority in parliament. As,
besides, the very first act of such a ministry must
be to pass this measure for levying 16,000,0001. upon
the people of England, for the finish or construction of
'del railways, in addition to the 10,000,0001. which
will be wanted, and are to be voted, for feeding and other-
wise employing the Irish people, for lending money to Irish
had,.cods, and reclaiming waste lands at the public charge,
the very fact of its entry on functions would most probably
be the signal for a perfect panic and confusion of money
talon, with a corresponding derangement of all industrial
interests. The state of the money market, as measured
by the public fonds., which acts as its barometer, it already
sufficiently discouraging. The bare mention, or suspicion,
of a loan to be wanted, of six or seven millions, which need
not be paid up in full for months to come, has sufficed ta de-
Preeiate the value of Consols about 4 per cent, already sine
the opening of the session. The appearance of the loan itself
alone drive them down as much =ore, and yet there
ire Tory statesmen at this time of day so fiercely of the
weooghrd lineage as to propose , in all sobriety, to pledge
She (contr.,. for sixteen millions more.

CHARTER V. GRIEVE AND ANOTHER.—AcrioN AGAINST
MAGISTHATEB.—Mr. Knowles, Q.C., moved fora rule to
show cause why the verdict in this action, which had passed
for the defendants at the late assizes for the county of York,
ought not to be set aside, and a new trial had. The de-
fendants are magistrates for the East Riding, and had con-
victed the plaintiff under the 7 & 8 Geo. 4, c. 30, of having,
at the expiration of her tenancy of a cottage under a Mt.
Baynton, cut down certain small fruit trees, which
had been planted by herself or her husband, and for
which the landlord refused to make compensation. She was
sentenced to be imprisoned for one calendar month, and was
imprisoned ; but a day or two before the expiration of that
term she was discharged by Mr. Baron Rolfe, on account of
• defect in the warrant. She then brought this action for
the illegal imprisonment. When the cause came on for
trial the original conviction was produced and given in evi-
dence; to it, however, several objections were taken. Ano-
-1 cher conviction, drawn up • few days before the trial, was
then given in evidence. To both convictions it was objected
that they were on paper and not on parchment, and the
authority of Lord Coke was cited in support of the objection.
Other objections were also made to the convictions. In ad-
dition to showing the formal defects, it was urged that the
statute under which the defendaats had proceeded was di-
rected against those only who neither had nor claimed to
have an interest in the premises in which the act complained
of was committed. On these grounds it was submitted that
the plaintiff had been entitled to recover. The court granted
the application.

NORTRAYPTON FIRST NOTIMBER FAlL—This fair took
pbre on Thursday last. There was but a limited supply of
S► •ep, though quite equal to the demand, trade being en-
oselingly dull, and many lots turned out unsold. Superior
Be I was in short supply, and realised good prices; but for
Beef of an inferior quality lower prices had to be submitted
to, to effect sales. There was an extraordinary show of Here-
for l stores, in fine condition, and many were sold. Downs
were scarce. Of Welsh, Irish, and Scotch there were a great
number, with a dull trade. Good dairy Cows maintained

RAILWAY NEWS.

Yesterday the want of business in the share market
was the general complaint; prices otherwise were
steady. The period for the registration of East India
scrip shares caused, however, some little commotion
among the holders, who, viewing it as of course the
preliminary step to a call, and successive calls, were
in many instances eager to sell. In consequence they
were done as low as half-a-crown per scrip share. It
is stated that a considerable quantity of the scrip has
notwithstanding been carried in for registration. The
state of the money market may be estimated by the
fast that with 5 per cent. guaranteed by the India
Company for 25 years upon this line, the scrip never-
theless is nearly unsaleable.

MONEY MARKET.

BATVIIDA7 EVIIIIINO.
The agitation in the stock market was little dimi-
nailed this morning on a perusal of the Bank returns
for the week ending last Saturday. Those returns,
showing the unfavourable position of the establish-
ment at the date, were, it is now beyond doubt, the
moving came of the relaxation of the Bank Restric-
tion Act of 1844, so tardily consented to by the go-
vernment. The speculators for the fall made their
advantage of this unfortmate exhibition, and exten-
sive sales for time reduced Console from 811, at
which they opened, to 801 to 1, the lowest prim of
the day. The repurchase of stook thus speculatively
sold on the resßsation of profits, together with a mom
sober estimate of the stated &Aire, monetary and
commercial, led to a reaction, which restored prices
to 801 to le foe mosey, and 81k to Ihe time. After

has Dom firmer, and about SOO Mids. of West India Mid near 5,500
mats of Mauritius have changed hands at on improvement upon Um
currenetesof this day aennight. Importers are requiring still nigher

very sluggish, sod for refined goo& there are only moderate in-

Burets, 54 to 4.
MANCHUTER, OCT. 30.—The yarn and cloth market Con-
tinues in an exceedingly decreased state. Anticipating a rise of the
price oi the raw material in consequence of the new project for ex-
tending bank discounts, manufacturers in some ..stances were
armee an to the prices of pods earlier in the week, but the effect
won only temporary, and rates are again drooping and irregular,
tho Ugh purchase* OM only ►e made for each.

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—LEEDs, Ocr. 30.—The demand
for woollens to-day was dull. The attendance of merchants in the
Piece.ball was thin, and their dealings were few. The goods sold
were of a simihir description to those which hate been generally in
demand during the month. Though there hare been a few London
buyers in the warehouses during the lad ten days, their purr-hums
hare been made eery sparingly.

HARDWARB.—BIIMINOHAM, Oct. 30.—Upon the
whole, trade here has somewhat improved during the bet week. The
very large amount of orders received from America have pa:dolly
found their way into the hands of the manufacturer. Min coupled
with the somewhat improved condition of the home Lade, end the
abeence of farther important failures affecting the trading Interest
hereabouts, has tended very materially to revive confidence. In some
Instances the artisans have been upon short time undoubtedly, but
the mar of them find a tolerable amount of employment; end we

In view the peening exigencies of the time, the lam quarter's accounts
have bees pretty well met. The bankers have, by circular, tusnounced
their resolve to ram the interest on deposits to four per cent.

NATIONAL IJALLEItY.—RESIONATION OP MR. EAST-
LAKC.—Mr. Eastlake has resigned the appointment of
keeper of the pictures in the National Gallery, which lie has
held since Mr. Seguier'sdeath, and Mr. G wins, ft.A., hasbeen
appointed in bis steed. The joint offices of Secretary of the
Fine Arts Commission and Keeper of the Gallery have mate-
rially interfered, for some time past, with Mr. Eastlake's
labours as an artist. lie will now have more time to paint,
and this in a great degree lessens toe regret we feel at losing
the services and guardianship of the beet educated artist of
the English school, whose name alone gave a European re-
putation to the office of keeper. Mr. U wins has held the ap-
pointment of keeper of the Queen's pictures since Sir
Augustus Cancan's death, so that the two °thou (as in Mr.
Seguier'a case) are again united in the same person.

GIAUCESTEEISHIRE.

INCENDIARY fIRE-AI—ICAIIiI3ROON.—A horse
express was received in Bristol at a little after one &duck on
Saturday morning, to require the assistanco of the city and
insurance companies' fire ingines upon the farm of Mr.
Jones, en extensive miller residing near Hambrook, on the
Downencl-road, whose stack-yard had been wilfully set fire
to by incendiaries. The engines of the Sun, Norwich
Union, and Imperial companies, were immediately horsed,
manned, and despatched to the scene of conflagration. They
found two valuable ricks of wheat burning with st:ch fury as
not only to render the chance of saving them all but
hopeless, but to threaten destruction to the other cinteata of
the stack-yard as well as to the farm-house and buildings.
The firemen and police exerted themselves to the utmost,
and being assisted by some of the neighbours, who, on bear-
ing the alarm, bad hastened to the spot, they fortunately sue.
seeded in confining this fire to the two stacks. One of the
men employed near the farm discovered the marks of a train
of gunpowder laid from one of the mills, which was bum
to a short distance from it. This train had evidently been
recently fired, so that there can be little doubt ditto nature
of the origin of the tire. The police authorities ore busily
engaged in endeavouring to trace out the incendiariis with
a view to their punishment.

BAIL COURT.
Bdore Mr. Justice Pa Meson.

Lea r. HUDDERSFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY
COMPANY.—RAIL IN ERROIL—MS. Cleuby moved for a
rule, calling on the plaintiff in this action to show cause why
execution should not be stayed, and why the attendance of
bail in error should not be dispensed with. The action was
brought to recover 5,0001 , the amount claimed by the plain-
tiff for compensation for land taken by the company for the
purposes of the line. By the Bth Vic. c. 18, it is provided
that where compensation for land is claimed by any person,
unless the company summon a jury to assess the amount
within a reasonable time, the claimant is entitled to recover
the sum which he has himself fixed. In this instance the
company had neglected to summon a jury, and the plaintiff
had obtained a verdict for 5,0001., the amount he claimed.
A writ of error had been obtained, u several important
questions of law arose at the trial, and a bill of excep-
tions had been tendered to the ruling of the learned
judge. One of the bail in error WAS absent from London,
and in consequence of his absence ►sum of upwards of 5,0001.,
which had be,ll paid into the Court of Chancery to the
credit of the plaintiff, could not be obtained.—Rule granted.

KINSALE.

Mr. Watson has still achancerillis old seat It appears
the vote of the person who proposed Mr. Guinness was
objected to and refused by the assessor. The question then
is, whether, his qualification as an elector being token away,
the return of the conservative be v►lid. Mr. Watson is an
excellent j odge of such an objection.

accompanied with measures calculated to insure a continuous
supply of free labour. The governor answers that non-com-
=nal is the duty of his office. There are exceptional coca-
lima, however ; and since the colonists have forgot to do
justice to his reserve, he must vindicate his waded. He
denies that France, in preparing to emancipate the
slaves, had overlooked the interests of the colo-
nies. In the address to the King, the etuuseil complain
that the law of 18th July, 1845, has not matidled the exi-
gency of the party of new ideas. They give way, however,
to necessity ; and are prepared to co-operate with the mother
country in the task of emancipation. To this and they have
appointed a committee to digest a plan for a transition for
slavery by the introduction of an associative system—impos-
sible in Europe, but suited to the circumstances of the co.
lonics. If their plan be approved, they look confidently to
have the indemnity adjusted, which the royal government
has no often admitted to be due. The exceptional system of
&lever), was, they admit, a just ground for refusing to admit
colonial deputies to the chamber ; that objection being re-
moved, they claim the right of representation. They declare
that partial emancipation would be fatal to the colonies;
and throw themselves on the royal protection.

IRELAND.
DIIIBLIN, AUGUST 10.
The " Anti-Recorder " press and Mr. Napier's com-
mittee must have informed you that Mr. Shaw was in-
debted for his seat to the exertions of the government.
Mr. Corry Connellan, the lord-lieutenant's secretary,
was charged with pursuing an active canvass in the
college courts for the recorder ; and leading-article,
speech, and placard, re-echoed and paraded the charge
The pyramid of nothings erected on this foundation
has fallen to the ground. Mr. Connellan has con-
tradicted the statement in every particular, great and
small. He was not in the college courts quite a
quarter of an hour during the entire five days, and
never directly or indirectly, personally or other-
wise solicited a vote for Mr. Shaw. The friends
of the government were left at full liberty to vote as
they thought proper, and if any were found on the
side of the Recorder it was not by the desire or on the

solicitation of the government.
A ease of some importance was submitted by Mr.
Freeman, Q. C., to the grand jury of the county of
Cork. For some years the expense of criminal pro-
secutions at sessions had been on the increase through-
out Ireland, and the counties mulcted considerably.
Large sums of money were paid by the county
treasurer, and for what he alone knew.
Assistant Barristers are entitled by law to award
reasonable expenses in cases of felony, but for no
other class of offences. However, the local crown
solicitors, in addition to their salaries, claimed and
received 13s. 10d. for petty larcenies, and these sums
were paid by the treasurer. It is to be hoped the
committee of inquiry appointed in the Cork case
will settle the practice for all Ireland.

KERRY.

Our Dublin correspondent writes The nomination
took place on Monday, hut no accounts have yet reached
I)u',lin. It was generally expected that Mr. Herbert and
Mr. M. J. O'Connell would have been returned without op-
position. By private letters, however, received in town to-
day, I am informed that a third candidate was to have ap-
peared on the hustings, in the person of John O'Connell,
late of Grena, and for the last few months resident in
France, the father of the late member. If this be so, the
success of Mr. H. rbert is net quite certain, as John O'Con-
nell is very popular, though not a repealer. At all events,
Mr. Herbert was caught quite unprepared, and, from all 1
could learn, a compact existed between him and Mr. J.
O'Connell to divide the representation."
