OPENING OF TIIE AND BURY
ST. EDMUND'SRAILWAY.
The directors of this line, accompanied by a
arty l
of their friends, proceeded on Monday to opeiiltire
Inse of railway just finished between Ipswich and Bury St.
/legend's. A special train, fur the convenience of those
ansenrs who reside in London, left the terminus of the
Ulm Counties Railway, at Shoreditch, at half past nine,
Ong another train at Colchester, and arriving at
*with, where the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's line
Wes the Eastern tJniou, rather before twelve. At the
us at Ipswich the arrival of the train was greeted with
beal cheers by a large number of persons assembled there
kale purpose of witnessing the departure of the first train
W gary. Notwithstanding that the weather was slightly
inffavourable, smart showers occasionally making their ap-
pearance, a very large train was soon formed, and filled by
a most numerous and respectable company, several ladies
else testifying by their presence their desire to do honour to
the new rail. The twenty carriages of which the train con-
sisted, drawn by two new engines, gaily decorated with flags
and evergreens, and having in one a respectable brass band
(whose music sometimes drowned the roaring of she
engine), left the Ipswich terminus at half-past
twelve, and proceeded at an easy rate along the new
line, which traverses a neighbourhood presenting no great
wintering difficulties, the highest gradient being 1 in 132,
sad the greatest radius being only one in half a mile; the cut-
tings are, with one or two exceptions, small, and the em
bankments trffing, excepting at Bury, where there is also a
most magnificent bridge. The only at all serious difficulty
that the engineer has hail to encounter, is the boggy nature
of the land about Stowmarket, where a portion of the lines
wee time back gave way. The works of the railway are, as
yet, only partially finished ; on portions of the line, single
rails only are laid down, the battlements of some bridges are
unfinished, and the stations are not built. It is exactly 26
miles in length. The train was enthusiastically received at
all the stations. On its arrival at Bury St. Edmund's, amid
the firing of salutes, the waving of flags, and the cheering of
ID immense mass of persons—indeed, all Bury seemed un-
earthed—the train was met by the Mayor and corporation,
and a procession having been formed, the directors, with the
Mayor and corporation, proceeded through the town to the
Angel Inn.
At five o'clock, the directors and their friends, to the num-
ber of three hundred, sat down to a well arranged dinner in
the large concert room at Bury, the chair being taken by J.
Chevalier Cobbold, Esq., supported by 0. G. Sampson, Esq.,
the Mayor of Ipswich, P. Bennet, 'Esq., M.P., 14. Prigg,
Esq., the Mayor of Bury, &c. &cc. The dinner, which was
sold, having been discussed, the usual loyal toasts, and such
of a local nature, as are common at local convivial meetings,
were proposed and duly honoured.
REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—John Bright,
Esq., M.P., met a large body of the electors of Manchester
again, last night, in the township of liulme, one of the
largest and most populous districts of the borough, and met
with • most enthusiastic and encouraging reception. The
geeing took place in the large room of the Shakespeare Inn,
which, together with the adjoining rooms, were densely
crowded. The chairman of the Ilulme Committee, Mr.
Rampson, presided, and said the committee was a hundred
strong, and in their first day's canvass out of 400 voters who
were seen six to one had pledged for Mr. Bright. He con-
cluded by at once introducing the hon. gentleman to the
electors present .
Mr. Banat? spoke only for about twenty minutes, ex-
plaining his sentiments upon most public questions, aft r
whch several persons proceeded to interrogate hint
upon the factory and other questions, for upwards of en
hoar, but nothing was elicited to give a different view of the
hon. gentleman's political principles to whtt has already
been stated by him over and over again.
A vote of approval of the hon. gentleman as a fit and
proper candidate was carried with only one or two dis-
sentients. It was an excellent meeting.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, DEC. 7.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE AM OFFICER. OF THE DOLED
or ViORKS.—From a stop edition of the Limerick Chronicle
of Saturday evening I extract the following ;—" That after-
noon Mr. ilennes.sy, overseer under the Board of IVorks,
was fired at near the garrison town of Clare Castle ; nine
swan drops were lodged in his body. Hopes are entertained
fur his recovery. llr. Leyne and the p ;lice from Ennis are
on the alert to discover the perpetrators. The county
Limerick magistrates' meeting to-day agreed to increase the
constabulary term at Croom.'
The proposed measure to invest a central authority in
London with the control of the local Harbour Boards of this
country is exciting strong opposition among the merchants
and shipowners. The Sligo Champion deprecates the in-
terference of a foreign board, because the Harbour Commis-
Soners of that port, with abundant funds and the use of the
dredge, are greatly improving its safety. The more power-
ful body of the mercantile class in Cork pipes loudly on the
lime key. Parties are divided as to the constitution of a
Proper Harbour Commission ; some being for popular elec-
tion; others to transfer the duties to a corporation ; but all
ire agreed as to the rejection of the London controlling

Powei.
The proceedings of the Repeal Association of this day
are of great importance. It had been rumoured for some
days that an arrangement would be sought to be effected.
Yr. O'Connell, at the close of his speech to-day, realised the
rumour, for he proposed a conference to hear and report on
all matters connected with the dispute, with the view of
establi.hing final order, and bringing Young and Old Ireland
again into working harmony. The commissioners are all
banisters, with the exception of Smith O'Brien. The opi-
nions of tha two sections are also fairly represented—three
being of the Young and the same number of the Old Ireland
Party. Two—Sir Colman O'Loghlen and Mr. O'Hagan—
ire not members of the Association. The public will look
with much anxiety to the results of the conference. Mr.
O'Connell also prop-ses an immediate meeting of the Irish
landlords, not only to relieve present but prevent future
evils, and suggests a loan from the State of 30,000,0001., on
the security of the property of Ireland, to meet the crisis.
The country journals received this morning exhibit a suffi-
ciently gloomy condition of the country, and distress is on
the increase, nothwithstanding the employment on the
public works and the refuge of the poor. houses,which in
mane districts are crowded beyocd the accommodation ori-
ginally provided in their erection. Temporary buildings are
being thrown up to meet the increased pressure on their
resources. Exclusion is of course impossible. though in a
few localities it has been used without pity: and may afford
no relief to the rate-payer. In Wexford workhouse the in-
mates last week amounted to 1,063, and in Waterford to
1,203. Indeed all the unions are likely to undergo
severe taxation in the ensuing year, under the combined
influence of the labour-rate and poor-rate. In some districts
the cries of distress have been rendered more painful by the
suspension ofpublic works and consequent addition to the
Prevailing misery. This is not attributable to the board but
to the baronial sessions, which did not present for an amount
nifficient for the completion of the works. In one district of
Roscommon 500 persons have been di,charged, and an equal
number will share the same fate in a few days more in the
tame county from the insufficiency of the original present-
mew,. Of course this must he remedied. The works must
benompleted; the poor relieved ; and to accomplish both an
uhliti"al sessions must be held to prevent for an adequate
"m. As might have been naturally expected, the commis-
;'sners are subjected to some popular odium. They are the
uriensers of emploj merit and money; and where
innlabr is too
abundant for the district works or punctuality money
ifYreents cannot be strictly observed, from the nature of Una
I.boar, and the immense number to be relieved, the board is
7.!rg,cl with heartlessness, inattention, and unnecessary
TM'. I believe, however, that the subordinate officersl
of
the board might be mere punctual. The pay-clerks, in very
many caws, have withheld the sustenance money, and, it
is
red, have hven tarrying on a small trade in peculation.
"entations have been made to the hoard and the go-
grnment, avid inspectors of pity-clerks arc in progress of ap-
iotment, who will exactamore rigid accountof their duties.
