So much for Cedric, when lucks areas mach egaisat him as

although he has shows in two *handers during the put

mouse distance by Chevalier d'lndutrie for the Whittle-
bury at Northamptoa in the spring, when Trioolor, Hurdle,
sad the Amorous Boy were also placed before him. At
Ascot he was eighth is the twesty-two that ran for the New

This was another bard knock for the buskers of Lord Aa-

DUBLIN, Dn. 27.

David Lynch, Esq., Q.C., has been appointed
assistant banister for the county of Louth, in the
placed John Perrin, Esq., who, owiog to continued
and seven indisposition, has been obliged to retire.
Mr. Lynch is a praotisiog lawyer of considerable
eminence, and no political partisan I so that his ap-
pointment is calculated to reflect not a little credit oa
the government wit► men of all parties.
An accidental fire broke out on Wednesday in the
Carrsgh camp, bat beyond the destruction of one of
the hors no injury resulted.
lhanceanon Fort (says t►e Kilkenny Moderator)ie
at length ordered to be dismantled, and the ord-
nance stores to be removed to Cork; whilst the
storekeeper, William lilackwell, Esq., retires on
a superannuation pension. The barracks will still be
retained in use, for the sccommodation of troops
receiving instruction in llaini6 ride practice. This
fort is well known in Irish history, but its defences
►ave for the last century been allowed to go into
decay.
No publics inquiry has yet taken place relative to
the late attempted agrarian assassination in the county
of Clare. The men in custody for the offence were
taken yesterday to Cloptare for examination before •
bench of magistrates, but the investigation was ad-
journed for a fortnight.

Them is no trace whatever of party feeling in the
agitation which has been commenced in Ireland
against the income tax, men of all shades of political
opinion being apparently agreed on the subject. The
Bowsaw Rau and the Fre/noses Jouraca, which
occupy the opposite poles of the political world in
Dublin, are unanimous in their opposition to the tax
as it is now levied; and it is expected that the
approaching meeting of the citizens will be an
important demonstration of opinion on the question.
The Avesta* in some remarks, this morning, on the
lathiest says: _ _
