THE NEW BISHOP or TrAM.—For three cen-
turies the un-Irish establishment has been used without
scruple or shame A supplementary means of providiegg
for third or fourtli.r.ite men of birth in holy orders, or the
personal hangers- ,n and proNges of men in power ; and if
it be true that the r-Tently vacated see of Tuam has just
been conferred on the brother of Lord Bandon, it is clear
that oligarchy is true to its traditions. The Bernardi have
beencaptains of a aellicnown detachment in Monster fee
generations. The fort is a beggarly village, that once had
a castle and a sto...,:udiug wall ; over the gate the inscrip.

The castle is now a ruin, the wall has crumbled down,

head of this planter family votes steadily in the House of
Lords against every concession of justice to the Irish
enemy; his handful of retainers return whomsoever ha

peer, with 4,01k.H. a year, to requite the fidelity of his

boast that he has personally shown himself equally hostile
to catholice and dissenters.—Examiner.

THE LiEititEEs STRIKE AT NOTTINGHAM.—Yes-
terday Mr. John Atteninrough, a master builder, was sum-
moned before the sitting magistrates ou the change et
having used langliage tending to create a breach of the
peuee toJames Leiglitonand John Warner, twu bricklayers'
labourers. The two labourers were employed collecting sub-
scriptions towards the maintenance of the nitn on strike.
The ilefend.int, while lasing by at the time, called these
two lounging vagabond/1, too idle to work, wl.o would
sooner go begging and cadging than attend to their work."
Mr. Heath prosecuted, and Mr. ('ranch defended. Mr.
('ranch denied that the defendant Lad used the h.ngnage
imputed to him. The bench, without wishing to com-
promise the defendant, suggested that be should enter into
his own recognisences to appear at a future time if rho
ease shall be called on, the defendant to ray the legal ex-
pense., the magistrates thinking that this course would
tend to allay the ill-feeling now existing between the men
and their masters, and prevent further excitement. This
Course was accordingly adopted.
EXTE74SIVE FLEE AT ST. LUKE'S. —A fire, which
seemed likely to he attended with dreadful consequences,
broke out last evening in the veneered moulding and
veneer cutting works of Mr. J. Stickland, in Peartree-
street, Goswell-road. The fact that the Charter Gas
Works are in immediate proximity to the sine of the fire
caused considerable excitement in the locality. The tiro
was first discovered at a quarter to seven o'clock, and be-
fore the whole of the employEs had left the place. lire
engines were sent for and despatched with all possible
haste ; but before any water was poured upon the burning
building the entire contents, consisting of deal. pietas('
frames, and a quantity of glue, which is used for the pur-
pcses of the trade, were, owing to their inflammable
nature, being. rapidly devoured by the flames. By the
time the engines, of which there were several, arrived, the
eatees hlul communicated with the back part of the houses
:,cljoining those situated near the burning building. and as
sackswere Hying in and around the gas works wet
were placed on the gasometer as R precautionary
measure. The fire made terrible havoc in the adjacent
dwellinp. and the poor terror-stricken inhabitants con-
veyed their household furniture into the street, awl with
their children took refuge for the time being at the neigh-
bouring public-houses. 'The Mures gradually began to sons
cumb to the action of the engines and although several
carts and trucks were engacted in tacking away some of the
contents of the premises w ere it originated, the greater
pal t of Mr. Stickland's property, sus well as the back part
of the adjoining house property, was devoured by the
flames. We have not been able to ascertain whether Mr.
S•ickland's works were insured. The fire had not beta
completely extinguished at a late hour last night.
