IRFLAND.

DUBLIN, JUNI 22.
In the absence of political topics to comment upon,
a controversy is kept up between a government and
a popular journal as to the health of Martin the con-
vict. It seems that Martin, though a eelicote man,
is quite well enou rif for transportation, as he will not
be subjected to any labour, but merely expatrittion.
A grievance is made oat of Lis case, but not appa-
rently on solid grounds. The public have become
quite indifferent to the case of the convict,.
An interesting bre.ich of promise of mar-
riage case was tried yesterday before the Lord Chief
Baron. The plaintiff was an English lady, Miss
Maria Wilson, of Manchester, and the defendant was
Mr. John Douglas, an Irish gentleman of fortune, in
the county of Armagh. Toe plaintiff's lather bavit g
become embarrassed in his circumstances, the defend-
ant broke off the match. Some of the letters produciel
from the defendant were as ridiculous as the letters
of lovers generaly arc. The jury returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff of 800/.
