The Crown prosecutors are anxious to being Wil-
liam Crow before the commission. From some cir-
cumstances which have transpired, it appease probable
that he was not guiltless of the blood of Mr. Wat-
son. There is a romantic story connected with the
acquaintance of Mr. Watson and Crow which will
appear in the evidence for the crown.
'lyre Tipperary Constitution beholds rare points of
order in the operation of the special commission. The
punishment of the accessory before or after inspires
no terror. Frewen's deportation has created consider-
able alarm among the old sympathisers, if the follow-
statement from the Constitution be correct :
Our readers will recollect that some time since an account
of the capture of two brothers, named Cody, charged with
the murder of a man named Holden near Olenhow r, ap-
peared in our columns ; and upon holden, occasion we detailed
the difficulty with which their capture was effected. Since
that period a third brother, charged with the same
has been on his keeping, sad, of course, must have
shelter from the neighbmn. However when the onavia-
tion of Frewen was noised abroad, it eaused a general peels
amongst the shelterers, and all determined to avoid the risk
of a similar sentence. The result has been, that every door
has been closed in the face of the third Cody, and on Wed-
nesday be came into town and surrendered himself ! This
circumstance is one worthy of eongratulation, and shows
that, if laws sufficiently stringent and adequate to the neces-
sity which demands them are enacted, the evildoer will be
deterred from his ways of wickedness, and crime will be
suppremed.
The spirit of tranquillity appears however to be
broken at intervals in the North Riding. Not later
than Friday night last the servant of a Mr. Parker,
within a short distance of Nenagh, was fired at, but
not injured. Two marauders have been arrested and
identified, tenants to Mr. Parker himself.
A correspondent of the Freeman states the total
consumption of sugar in Ireland to be about 33,000
tons, distributed as follows :—Dublin, 1,400 ; Cork,
7,000 ; Belfast, 5,000 ; Limerick, 2000, ; all other
5,000. The increase in the Irish consumption
last year was about 5,000 tons, being nearly a fifth of
the whole increase of the United Kingdom. The
imports of ending from England were less in the past
than any payeecita.r, the increased quantity hav-
ing been received
The perplexities in which the Grand Canal Com-
pany was involved axe as far as ever from reaching a
conclusion ; the loanholders and proprietors of stock
looking in wholly opposite directions. At the last of
the multitudinous meetings and adjournments a set-
tlement was proposed to the loanholders which met
with unqualified disapproval, that the Reduced Six
per Cent. Debentures for 921. 6e., should be registered
as stock at 901. ; the Reduced Five per Cents. in the
same proportion at 75/. • Reduced Fours at 601., and
the present stock shares at 151; Grand Canal stock
rules miserably low.

—A-n-elaborate reply from the Archbishop of Tuna
to the Earl of Shrewsbury will shortly appear. The
Livening Freeman will contain the thunder.
