TEE ERE PETER DALY.

The Galway correspondent of Saunders' News,
writing on Sunday, says :—" As expected, the chapel
of St. Nicholas today, at 12 o'clock, was crowded
to excel ; about 2,000 pinions were present,
Before the odebration of high mass, the bishop
being present, Father Daly appeared habited in a Boutin.
There was immediately great sensation in the chapel, and
expressions of sympathy were openly given. He appeared
deeply moved. He thee approached the front of the altar,
and read a document which he held in his hand. It con-
tained certain apologies for his disobedience to the oommand
of the bishop. He then retired, and the service was pro-
ceeded with. He is to go into 'retest' for one week,
and at the expiration of that time he will be fully re-
stored to his ministerial °Mom. It is generally stated the
Rev. Sir Michael Bellew, principal of the Jesuit College of
tit. Ignatius, in this town, is the person who effected the

The correspondent cif Saunders' News, writing
from Ranh:robe, Saturday, says :—" Freesia Lavelle, bro-
ther of the Rev. Patrick Lavelle, hes paid the debt of
nature, but under rather painful circumstances. He was
killed bye fall from his horse. He was in Bellinrobe during
Thursday, and was on his way to the random* of his
brother at Partry, when the horse fell, and threw his rider
heavily. The accident was observed by some peelers by,
and the unfortunate man was conveyed to a house neer at
hand. Doctor Roughen, of Ballinrobe, was immediately on
the spot, and used the only remedies possible, but without
effect; he died yesterday (Good t.iday) morning. The
part be played in the Partry busier es has rendered him
rather notorious. It will be recollected ha was summoned
last September, or thereabouts, for breaking down a_gleund
belonging to Lord Plunket, but did not appear. He was
subsequently arrested at Drumcandra College (All Hallows),
Dublin, and conveyed to Ballinrobs, whose be entered into
securities to appear to take his trial. The trial, I believe,
was postponed to nest ambles. It is somewhat remarkable
that this is the mooed
_person connected with the principal
actors in the doings at Partly who has met death by vio-
lence—the first being Harrison, the eteward of Lord Plan-
' kat, who was shot dead; and the second, Frannie Lavelle,
the brother of the Rev. Mr. Lavelle."

TEE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AND THE LIVERPOOL
BAILORS' HOER.—The annual meeting in connexion with
the Liverpool Sailors' Home was held yesterday, and the
Home itself—which was almost entirely destroyed by fire
about two years ago, and which has since that time been
rebudt—was reopened for the reception of inmates. In the
coarse of the meeting the chairman (Mr. Derbyshire)
alluded to the circumstance of the late Prince Consort lay-
ing the foundation stone, and the interest the Prince took
in the institution after its establishment, and hoped that
this circumstance would induce persons to subecribe to the
fund for clearing off a debt of 2,0001. which is at present
hanging over the Home. It was intimated by the chairman
that so soon as sufficient funds were collected, a meltable
monument would be erected in the hall of the institution
in memory of the event of laying the foundation stone by
the late Prince Consort, and of he (the Prince's) many estim-
able qualities
INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.—CODSi-
durabIe interest has been excited in the highest geological
circles in London by an important discovery which has been
made in our neighbourhood A cave, locally known as the
" Heathery Burn Cave," near Stanhope, in this county,
exists in a deep ravine in the limestone strata, which is being
worked by the Weerdsle Iron Company to obtain • flux
used in smelting their ironstone. The morns of the
' quarrying operations has laid the entrance to this cave bare;
and in a deposit of sand under four inches of the stalavoitic
stone which has been formed by the dripping of water holding
lime in solution from the roof, have been discovered a
human skull, as well as several hundred bones of various
animeJs,and some bronze ornament., as, for example, armlets,
pine,ke. These have been carefully collected by an ablelocal
geologist, Mr. John Elliot, end by him transmitted to Loodoo,
with a view to obtain the highest scientific opinion on this
most interesting discovery. It is said that Mr. S. J. Mackie,
P.G.S., F.S.A., editor of the Geologist, is engaged in re-
searches, with the iuteotion of defining exactly the age of
this cave deposit, and that the bones have beets submitted
to eminent gentlemen in London for identification and de-
scription. Great credit is due to Mr. Elliot for the care
with which he has collected all the evideucee, and the lucid
description which he has given of the nature of the cave.
As these remains, sinless some error of observation has been
committal, world spperently indicate the existence of man
in the county of Durbam at a period of time long previous
to the known historical age, the remit of the investigation
now going on will be watched by us with the greatest in-
terest, and we hope in a fortnight or three weeks to be en-
abled to lay before our readers some most interesting infor-
mation on the subject, derived from the most authentic
souree.--,Darkans Chronicle.

HUNGER OED MARKET.

Loudon is the city of perpetual change. Paris, it
is true, has within the taut few years rivalled, and indeed
surprised it ; but with us the tendency to alter and rebuild
is not an affair of a single reign, but of two centuries. The
Great Fire of 1866 swept away the London of the middle
ages, and of Shakspoare, or at any rate the greater past of
it ; and ever since then we seem to have lived in a quick.
rod. We make and unmake in the course of a single life ;
we do not allow our edifices to grow reverend before we
abolish them. We build " palaces" that cover acres of
ground for a single season ; and we shall Noon not have a
metropolitan bridge over the Thames that dates beyond the
battle of Waterloo, although those of Westminster end
Maekfriars the two oldest remaining were new
erections in the days of Dr. Johnson. The Quadrant
colonnade, which Nash conceived and executed in the
days. when George the gentleman was Regent, vanished
thirteen years ago. The parish of St. Paul's, Covent-
garden, though not a very ancient neighbourhood, is in
, worse of being almost entirely rebuilt ; and the city, albeit
born anew alter the disaster that followed the great plague,
would look strange in several elite localities to the man who
died only thirty years ago. Many of us who are hardly
middle-aged can recollect with great vividness the rebuilding
of Hungerford.market ; and yet here it is already falling
before the hands of the destroyer, that something totally
different may arise upon its site. Ours is one of the oldest
cities in Europe, but we take good cure that it shall bare
the aspect of ever renewing youth.
There has been • market, where there will shortly be

ford-market having been built in the year 1680. Sir
Edward Hungerford, of Farleigh Castle, Somersetaldre, had
• large mansion on this spot in the reign of Charlie 11,;
but " the town " in those days was beginning to migrate
still further westward. Pall-mall and the street* to the
north of Piccadilly, were rising, or had just risen, in the
outer wilderness ; and the Strand, which was the grand aria.
tocratical suburb in the reign of James L, was fast becoming
vulgar. lafluenced probably by these circumstances Sir
Edward Hungerford pulled down his riverside house, and
built several small ones oa Its site. At the s►me time spa
peered the market. It was generally anticipated that the
speculation would prove • good one ; and there were many
reasons why it should do so. The proximity of the plans
both to the western and arm suburbs—for ages the great
nurseries of fruit and vegetables for metropolitan consamp•
lion—and the convenience of the river for conveying the
produce from the market gardens of Fulham and Ber.
moodsey, and delivering it at once at the very doors of
the vendors, without the necessity of land carriage, pointed
o Hungerford as the chief London market for what one
forefathers used to all "groan mere." But Strype, who in
1720 records these anticipatior, at the acme time informs us
that the project was "balked at tint," and had
dace turned "to little account," Covent-garden having
got the stars and being "much reented unto, and well
served with all fruits and herbs, good in their kind." Still,
Hungerford-market held on, and early in the reign of
William IV. it was rebuilt, when fresh hopes were formed
of the figure it would make in the Loudon world. It en

tars. The first roue of the new buildings was
laid on the 18th June, 1831, and the market was opened on
the 2nd July, 1833. The architect was Mr. Charles Fowler,
who also built Covent.gardea-market ; and a somewhat
wild commingling of brier-like allays, elevated terraces,
flights of steps, granite pillars, public-houses, and steam•
boat-piers, was the result of that gentleman's skill at
Hungerford-stairs. There seemed to be no reason why the
speculation should not second ; on the contrary, as we
have already shown, there were many reasons why it
should @noosed, and vet it never has. Multitudes of people
have pared through it daily for nearly 30 years, on their
way to and from the boats, but they have never brought
prosperity to the market. Of late years • foreign cuff,
illustrious for penny ices, bad music, and not very picked
company, has drawn • number of idlers to the spot, hut
Hungerford has nevertheless made no progress towards tap•
planting Covent-garden, Leadenhall, and Billingsgate. In
the summer of 1848 a portion of the centre was burnt down,
, and people said it would be better to sweep the whole away,
, but the gap was filled up, and the market has almost our
vived two more apprenticeships. It might fairly have bra
, expected that the opening of the suspension bridge, in April,
, 1845, would be the forerunner of a better day for the
market; but fate had decreed it otherwise. Some evil
destiny seems to have hung over the whole locality; the
bridge itself—though constructed under the direction of Mr.
I. K. Brunel, and of noble aspect from the river—never
having been popular. Let us hope that the Charing-ace
Railway will be born under a happier star.
' The last notable circumstance connected with Hungerford
previous
to its destruction is one of blood and ferocity, for
the place is associated with one of the wildest and darted
romances of London life. It was in the alleys of this
I market, one morning last summer, that Major Murray, the
hero of " the Northumberland-street tragedy," was accosted
, by the unknown enemy who had dogged his footsteps, and
• hung like a mysterious influence over his life ; and it was
thence that the intended victim was lured to the scene at
that frightful encounter in the neighbouring street. Thera
are probably some to whom the disappearance of the market
will be • relief.

TIM PAVING OF HOLBORN AND CNANCERV-LANIL
—For the last two or three weeks considerable Monte
nience has been experienced on the part of the public is
consequence of the closing of the important thoroughfares
of High Holborn and Chancery-lane to carriage traffic. 19'
are happy to be able to state that this inconvenience will
shortly cease. The diversion of the traffic has been ren-
dered isecesery in order to repair the carriace-vaian and
this has been accomplished in the most satisfactory
tosn-
ner. In Chancery-lane the roadway has been entirely ree
formed, a substratum of concrete put in, and the surfs?,
covered with granite from the Mount Sorrell quarries in
Leicestershire, this stone being incontestably the moat eci•
during for London traffic. In Holborn the carrier,/
paving has been simply relaid, the enormous traffic whits&
it has bad to sustain rendering this operation impera-
tively mammary. It was originally intended to rib', is
carriage-way half the width at a time, so as not to stop
the traffic ; but, the gas and water companies taking advan
tage of the opportunity afforded to reinstate their MOW,
this desirable mode of carrying out the works bad to be
abandoned, to the serious inconvenience of the inhabited'
'bag the line and the public generally. It is now proposed
to open Chancery-lane and that part of Holborn lag
between it and Gray's-inn-lane in the course of the follow-
ing week, and the most strenuous exertions will be made On
the part of Mr. Sewell, the contractor, to complete the re-
mafnder of the new roadway in Holborn before the opeest
of the International Exhibition. The works have bee e-
mitted under the superintendence of Mr. Lewis 11. Isaacs,
O.K. the surveyor to the Hollers District Board d
Works.
