DEATH or MR. HaRJEAR7 MoerEar.We regret
to have to announce the death of Sir John Howley (better
known by his legal title), which took place this morn-
ing at his residence, in Upper Fitzwilliarn-street.
Mr. Serjeant Howley occupied the position of Chairman
of Tippe...ry for many years, during which he earned the
public respect by his impartial conduct as a magistrate and
the high tone of independence beusiforml maintained. We
have but recently he 1 occasion to speak of these admirable
qualities in connexion with his name, and we believe there
were among his fellow-countrymen no diesentiests from the
estimate we then expressed. The funeral is arranged to
71 take place on Friday morning, at half-past, 8 o'clock.—

NEWSPAPER STATISTICIL—From the Newspaper
Press Directory of 1866 we extract the following on the
present position of the newspaper press :—" There are now
published in the United Kingdom 1,257 newspapers, distri-
baited as follows :—Eogland—Loodoo,
226;
Ireland, 128
total,Wale., 43 ;
these there Scotland, 139
128 ; British Isles, 14. Of are
52 daily papers published in Ragland, 1 in Wales, 12 in
Scotland, 12 is Ireland, and lin the British Isles& On
reference to the editien of this useful directory far 1856,
we Sad the following interesting feels, viz., that is that
year there were published in the United Kingdom 734
journals ;of these 85 papers were issued daily—vis., 15 in
London, 1 in Birmingham, were
is
Liverpool, 3 is Man-
chester. 3la Edinburgh, 4in Glasgow, and 6 is Ireland
but in 1866 there ere now established and circulated 1,257
papers, of which no lea than 78 are issued daily, showing
that the press of the country has very greatly extended
during the het ten years, asd more especially so is daily
papers, the daily issues standing 78 against 35 in 1856. The
magazines new in course of publication. including the
quarterly reviews, number 537, of which 196 are of • de-
cidedly religions character, representing the church of
England, Weeletans. methodists, baptists, independents,
and other Christian oeininunities."
THE CATTLE PLAGUE /ND DETENTION OF STOCK
IN GEARING LANDS.—Large herds of cattle am &pastured
out in the marshes and grazing lands, or housed I. the
straw yards, sod many stock owners and cattle dealers now
desire to take up horned stock from winter quarters sad
transmit them into grazing counties for sale and other
purposes to meet the spring demands for store stook, /re.
This removal, however. the order of magistrates at Quarter
sessions strictly prohibit', the only exception being in the
case of cattle" iotended for immediate slaughter. The
beasts now at agistment not being within that category, all
applications for • " special permit" to ((varies cattle to
other localities are refused. Under the existieg standing
ad orders store-stock cannot leave their present quarters till
after the Ist of March next, and In Richmond and other
parks a large number of stock are impounded, and cattle
dealers, of course, complain of their capital being thus
k Aced up.
PRACTICAL FENIANISM.--ADVICE OF THE " NEW
Tows lisasi.D."—Wisely directed the vast machinery of
the Fenian omanisation, the fervid faith which its followers
have in it, and the liberality with which all dames of our
Irish people contribute to its funds, may bettuned
to excellent @cooing, and may accomplish more ortrodden Ireland than revolution ever accomplished for
any people since the world went round. Fenian eaergies
should be directed entirely to the single object of bringing
the Irish people out of Irebind into this country. The Foshan
brotherhood should become, heart sad soul, an immense
emigration society, and their grand purpose should be to
further this exodus of their countrymen. By acting with
this view through all its agents, and spending
its great accumulations of money in this way,
Ed Feoianism will do mere for Ireland than it
could hare hoped to do in that country. It will
give the Irish people • republican govecomeat, and
to every Melones a comfortable home. This it can
never So in Ireland. Repetitions's= cannot Sourish
on that soil. Already is several Western States a
movement to further emigration oe • most extensive scale
has been set De foot. This originated in Minnesota, bat
is widespread. These emigration societies propose to
choose available lands and locate the emigrants es they
eons' ; snd it is probable that some states will
ambit the measure with funds. This is Fedi-
= cal asaistenee to the Irish. Let the replan give
up their bitterness sea mess, plots and plena aad
' squabbles, sad go to work its the spirit of those secisties.
and all Instead may yet with mean bless the orgaaisation
the reel salvation al the people. —New Fork Mereici,
