COAST DEPENCEB.—The present government sae
determined to follow up the popular move which led theta to
power, and are evidently degrees to place our protective ar-
maments in such a state of preparation as will calm the ap-
prehensions of those who are startled by the threat of foreign
Invasion. At Spike Island, London, and Carlisle forts, and
the innumerable blartello towers and fortifications which
stretch throughout the entire of this country—and we are
informed the same thing prevails ahnoet universally is Ire-
land—there is scarcely a gun mounted, and at none, save
the moat considerable stations, is there an allotment of ar-
tillery men more than is barely sufficient to give • salute.
The gay and artillery force are in the meanwhile kept
like expensive curiosities at Itallinoollig, or some such retired
quarter, where they may contend es best they may with the
'Laborious Weer that rusts both guns and soldiers. Orders
have now been received to mount the batteries in our har-
bour, and ordnance of heavy calibre and the most improved
construction hag been oat to Haulbowline for use wherever
the Enemies may think its amplo7ment most necessary.
Magee lame Dm prepared upon which pivot guns of great
weight can traverse at Spike Island and the ions, and their
have arrived, so that we presume they will be im-
mediately placed in position. It is true that we do not dread
any immediate aggression from abroad, but still the manifest
observation presents itself that if there be a necessity for sup-
porting artillery and forts, they should be kept together in
an effective state, for the notion of paying for them when they
are divided is monstrous, where neither of them is useful. In
this direction the recent changes are certainly well devised,
and we hope that so just • precedent will, no matter what
party may be in power, be followed.—Cork Reporter.

THE PARIS REPUBLICANS AND THE APPROACH-
two BLICTIONI3.—The republican party, efter long hesita-
tion, has determined to take a part in the appreadhing electoral
straggle of the 25th of April. The committee met on the 14th
and 15th of April, to consider what it ought to do under the
ofreemetsnoes. Several speeches were made for and against,
M. Busks. Pelletan, formerly one of the editors of the /lams,
spoke in favour of the system of abstention. "It is a rystem,"
said M. Pelletan, " which up to the present time has
borne fruit; its effect ban been to isolate and undermine the
present government. We must continue to refuse it bread
and water, and to place on the Tuileries a black flag, which
will indicate to every one the necessity of avoiding all con-
tact with that pestilential place." M. Marie, the eminent
advocate, who was a member of the provisional government
of 1848, and afterwards Minister of Justice, maintained, on
the ooutrary, that it wee neoemary to enter the heart of the
place, and there to strike the government. M. Marie added
that the question of the oath ought not to atop any
one. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had arrived at power by a
mime. No oath could bind any one to his government.
Several other members of the committee spoke in the same
sense ; but, nevertheless, the majority of the committee were
inclined to be in fsvour of abstention, when a deputation
arrived from the °wrier, of the fauborarge, who announced
to the committee that whatever might be Its decision, the
°wrier. were determined to vote quand NoSms. The com-
mittee upon this determined to nominate candidates.— Conti-
nental Revioa.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL ALIBON.—Oar readers will
be glad to learn that Lieutenant-Colonel Alison, the eldest
son of our respected sheriff, arrived at Pastel House from
London cm Monday morning by the Caledonian Railway et
nine o'clock. The gallant came, it will be remembered, was
*slimily wounded before Lucknow, in consequence of which
his left arm was amputated. On his arrival he was met by
the farmers and tenantry around Fossil, to whom he was
endeared by early associations ; and • large bonfire was
was made to welcome to his father's house the hero who had
bled in his oountry's cause on the well-fought fields of India.
The occasion will long be remembered by the inhabitants
around Paoli', who joined in the "merry dance and joyous
song," as one of great harmony, in which participated to no
smell degree our learned eheriff himself. It is to be hoped
that the expectations of the fanners and tenantry may be
realised and Major Alison, the second son of Sir Archibald,
be equally fortunate in again visiting Possil.—Olassrosa Daily

WRECK OF THE SCHOONER COBURO OFF BRID-
LINOTON.—BRIDLINGTON, APRIL 20.—During the re.
cent heavy gale on the north-east coast, the schooner
Coburg of Whitby, from Newcastle to Rotten, with
cods, came chore south of Bridlington harbour. The
perilous position of the chip having been observed,
the Royal National Life-boat Institution's life-boat
was immediately manned and launched. Th. vessel was
soon reached, and her craw of Ave men rescued from
their dangerous dentition, and afterwards safely brought on
shore. The Bridlington lifs-boat has been instrumental in
saving the lives of • Isms number of shipwrecked persona.
A few months ago the National Life-boat Society expended a
oonsiderable sum in thonoghly renovating this life-boat.
