DUBLIN, Y•:3.
The sight improvement in his Excellency'. health,
which took place on Saturday night, had not abated
by 11 o'clock last night (Sunday). The answer
to inquiries was : " His Exoellency.is nothing worse,
but rather improving." This morning, at 9 o'clock,

the Mowing bulletin was issued, signed by the sur-
geon-genm, Dr. Stokes, and Dr. Puna :

The western landlords, particularly about Bettina,
are alarmed at the extent of migration among their
tenantry. The good, or rather those removed in a
very few degrees from dependent misery, are " See-
ing the wrath to come,' carrying off their small capi-
tal, and leaving the landlord to his writ of ne ezeat !
This promos leaves behind the most hopeless par
perism, the material that file workhouses and Iwo-
.
pdals, raises rates, and cannot till the land. h conse-
quence the proprietors are anxious to keep in the mod
pp~e~mumgg of their tenantry; but their anxiety is
diwrregarded, and all who can muster five pounds for
passage money are on the wing to " a farther west."
In a southern paper are given the total committals
for the city of Cork in the first quarter of the amoral
years between 1836 and 1847 inclusive. The quarterly
average of the first quinquennial period to 1840, was
380 ; and of the second to 1843, about 242, showing
a decrease of nearly 26 pa.. cent. In 1846 the com-
mittals amounted to 266' and in 1847 to 547, or an
increase of more than 100 per cent. on hut year. The
increase will appear in a still stronger light on com-
paring the returns for 1843 with thole of the present
year. The total committals for 1843 from the let of
January to the 31st of December, were 639; and
from the Ist of January to the 30th of April, 1847,
547: so that the committals for a single quarter of
1847, are only less by 112, or about 20 per cent., than
the committals of the entire year 1843. It also
appears that the average maintenance of convicts is a
fraction more than one shilling a day, while the
' paupers in the Cork workhouse are fed, clothed, &c.,
at an average cost of Is. 11d. per week, or about 31d.
per diem.
If any Irish port can complain of injury from free
trade, Sligo is not that suffering community. The
burghers are delighted beyond measure at the pro-
' green of their town during the last Fix months, and
flatter themselves, and not without good reason, that
a portion of their commercial prosperity will prove
permanent. In imports Sligo has risen from a fifth
or sixth to a second-rate port, and in the quantity of
provisions is only surpassed by two of the find clam
ppoorts. Sligo is the depid which supplies Leitrim,
Bosoommon, Cavan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Mayo, and
parts of Galway and Longford. The ago Champion, in
noticing this marked improvemest, add. : 6. We were
left by the government dependent upon private enter-
prise, and our merchants proved equal to the teak im-
posed upon them."

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, MAT 3.
The papers of to-day furnish accounts of three
county meetings. At Aberdeen the Marriage Bill
was referred to a committee to be reported on ram
primuna. A motion, condemnatory of the Registra-
tion Bill, was rejected by a majority of 12 to 8. The
other law reforms of the Lord Advocate were approved
of. At this meeting the public-houses in the county
were given in futemoanting M 813, or 1 to every 30
males, or 42 houses ! At the Roxburgh meeting the
Marriage and Registration Bills were condemned in
Coto, and the other measures were referred to a com-
mittee. A draft of the new Scotch Lunatics Bill was
read, but found no favour. At the Renfrew meeting
the Heritable Securities Act wu highly eulogised,
and the Lunatics Bill severely censured, especially by
Mr. Wallace, late M.P. The Marriage and Registra-
tion Bills do not appear to have been brought before
this board.

A meeting of Lord Arbuthnot's creditors was held
in Aberdeen in the end of last week, when, as anti-
cipated by the Express, the arrangements pro-
posed by the Master of Arbuthnot, and the other
members of the family, were such u held out a rea-
sonable security for fall payment, and were considered
by all concerned as quite satisfactory.
Bit Walter Scott now lies in Drybuegh Abbey.
The corpse arrived by the Trident steamer from Lon-
don on Friday evening, was taken to the premises
of an undertaker, and afterwards quietly conveyed
out of town on its way to the abbey, attended by some
friends and connexions of the family.
An education meeting was held in Paisley, on
Thursday, of an exceedingly noisy and riotous charac-
ter. The Rev. P. Brewster moved a vote of oonfi-
deuce in favour of the government plan, which was
met by an amendment, more in unison, however, with
the views of Dr. Vaughan, than with those of Mr.
Baines. The clamour prevented speaking, except in
the way of pantomime, and after being kept up till
two in the morning, the: meeting was adjourned for a
week—in all probability not again to be held.
A London house is said to have commenced an action
of damages for 40,0001. against a Paisley firm, for
pirating shawl designs. This description of bucca-
neering appears to have been prevalent for some time
in Paisley, and if the law has been infringed, the
school of design about to be established in that town
will,as a metier of sheerneoemity, be well patronised.
