DCSUN, AIIOCIT 6.
Notwithstanding the bustle of the Queen's visit the
mer:ts of the appainted predators to the Queen's Col-
leges were canvassed yesterday a great deal. The
list of names falls miserably below the great public
expectations which had been raised here, and the
array is not very likely in general opinion to in-
terfere with the monopoly of education enjoyed by
"04 Trinity." It is felt that there is great defici-
ency of tone in the appointments, and the list
feeble. Some of the appointments in the me-
dical department are treated by the faculty
here with contemptuous derision. But the names
chosen in the department of " logic and metaphysics"
are particularly scouted at. If yen asked in the
Daily News of Saturday, " Who was Sir Robert
Murray Keith?" you well may inquire "who are
Messrs. Moffatt and Riad that have been wetted to
the important chairs of login and metaphysics in
two of the colleges ?"
But there will be time for canvassing these ap-
pointments when the bustle of the Queen's visit will
have passed away. '
The knighthood conferred on Sir William Lyons,
the worthy Mayor of Cork, has given pleasure not
only to his host of friends, but to all parties in the
city. He is a moderate follower of the O'Connell
party, but a gentleman of perfectly independtnt
spirit. He is a merchant of eminent standing.
The worthy knight is himself a liberal Roman
catholic, but Lady Lyons is a protestant, and con-
nected with kernel tory families of respectability.
The place of Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon has been con-
ferred on Mr. Galway, a Roman catholic gentleman,
brother of the late John Matthew Galway, formerly
M.P. for Deeprvan.

BINNINOTWI AND MIDLAND COUNTIES
Eznlsl-
TlOtt OP FAT CAITLIN de —At the MUSK of a soother of
gentlemen imaged in agriculture, and other parties in-
terested in that branch of national industry, It has been
determined to issue proposals for the establishment of an
annual exhibition of fat cattle and sheep, of fat and store
pigs, and the several kinds of domestic poultry, to be held in
Birmingham in the month of December in rach year. The
facilities of railway aommunication to 'early evilly part of
the country, and the fact that in the midland counties there
are many of the moat eminent breeders and feeders of stook,
ismer to warrant the conclusion that such an realties
will prove • successful experiment, and lead to valuable
practical results. With a population of two hundred
thousand persons, the town of Birmingham emasumes
a large proportion of the produce of the surrounding dis-
trict, sad it is • matter of great importance that the
supply of animal food should be large and of the best
description. By means of exhibitions the real merits of the
several breeds of animals, their v ,lee e certain ages, and
the weight and quality of flesh which they will produce
with a given quantity of food—•ubjects at this time (senor

newlustitation has faits patron the Right Hes. the Bail of

ham. The schedule of premiums, with the essditions of
entry and competition, is one of the most jedfolous docu-
