IRELAND.

,
DUBLIN, MAT 21.
It is a remarkable sign of the times that at the
term, which commences to-morrow, the 22ad instant,

there is not even one application for admission to the
bar, a circumstance which has not occurred before
during the present generation.
Several propertiss were disposed of yesterday in
the Incumbered Estates Court, and in more instances
than have occurred for some time the rates were be-
low 20 year.' purchase, several lots having been
withdrawn for want of competition. It is probable
that this indicates a turn in the tide of the value of
Irish lend.

In the cue of the late frightful boiler accident on
board the Nimrod steamer, in Cork, a coroner's jury
returned the following verdict yesterday .
That Hugh Connolly and Timothy Meany, reopeetvely,
came to their death by lojeriu teemed from esteem-boiler
eaplo.icia, ea board lb. stum-ahip Nimrod, and we further
find that said explotion was owning to the safety valves no!
having bun properly attended to by the engineer in charge
of the eogise-room, whose ditty it etm, and who has siaoi
died.

• each horses as Peter Flat and Bri.ther to F0117.0f-the-Day;
bat the race was a blundering set-out from the c immenee-
ment. He made strong runuieg, and bad beat n hie field
before half • mile was traversed; so that Alir.d D ey pulled
him up, and quietly showed the °therm to close with him.
At the cords master Alfred found Pater Flat too el ,se to be
pleasant, and attempted to set h.s horse colog .gain ; hut
he requires a deal of riding, and he n:var g it into bAstride
again, which will account for his being ran so clops at the
finish. It certainly was a most slovenly win; but he war
not galloping on pining the pea, or even mewled,
although be had a taste of the persuaders. There is
another change against him which I ciasider ground's,—
that be showed symptoms of cowardice ; and on the day I
fully expect to We him run a true, geme hone. There will
be no occasion to pull him up, I smolt& expect, during the
Di rby ; and, to my fancy, it he had been kept going all
through the rue for the Newmarket Stakes, h, would hove
won by a hundred yard.; and I am not sure that Alfred
Day was not "gumming" the locate,. n &Anacker All
he will want is a strong pace.
WRIT LANGTON (by Melbourne, out of Pic.Nii) was
once considered by his owner and trainer to have a prod
chance, and he was backed very heavily before he appeared
is public ; and when he did he was beaten He was made
a bit of a favourite for the Great Biennial Stakes at Good-
wood, and managed to get placed !earth, rutin* nearly
level with Polmoodie and Rogerdrape. At Biighte• he
was a bad fifth for the Bright in Biennial St.k e, Ale; po
winning. His friends did not deem him, kneeing him to
be dead mist, and up to last February be w.,* the most
popular outsider, but has since be•n introduced ; and
from what was seen of him at Mancluot,r last weer, wber.
he mild not beat Aleppo while receiving lb., his chitties
looks iteaspletely goo*.
YE.Low Jack (by Birdcatcher, out of Julie* Ins
bees a most unfortunate purchase for Mr. " Rowerd." He
was made the favourite, with the aid of pleat, of Inouye
about last September, but weed nut gid.wn, and wa. Boon
displaced by Wentworth, and on his appearance at New-
market, in the Houghton week, be was not liked at all ; but
money still came to the emu, and he was bolstered up
somehow, and soon afterwards ha was iutroduced into
the market for the Guineas; but he never was the favourite
again, and his running for the Guineas sent him nearly into
the outside division, alth ugh he preset himself Thor iughly
game. For the Chester Cup he was more at h me, and he
ran a splendid race with One Act and Types; but the per-
formance sufficiently indicated that his cram for the Derby
had fied, and if he runs it will be to assist toe Coroner. The
latter has been introduced since it was a; perent Jock
bad rio chalice, and ft is rather a difficuit matter to under-
stand why he should have been brought in so lce;
but his owner knows how to wvk the or eele, sad as he is
on I suppose, Yellow Jack Is held safe by Coroner.

I do not Intend making a final selection to stand oat jut

Of the above dozen I shall not be surprised at FIJ•bJ-

deeming the latter the only outsider In the race that is likely
to bowl over the &Toadies ; and, taking each lot as •
whole, I mast plead guilty to having the greatest peuuho•t
for last year's performers, although they are comparative
outsiders. If any of the favourite, b )Irl them over it will
be Wentworth, who I should be sorry to stand again.t.
