LAvr Abigai TO TIM IRDDI Gr—
The vacancy in the offloOiriBNMENT.
e of law adviser to the govern-
ment, for some time vacant, has been filled by the appoint-
ment of Mr. D. C. Heron, Q.C. Mr. Heron's promotion is
distinguished by one feature which is unhappily rare in the
exercise of patronage in the legal profendon in Ireland ;
it is the reward of professional, not of political exertions.
Some twent., years ago Mr. Heron crowned a distinguished
academic career by obtaining a scholarship in Trinity
College, to the enjoy merit of the advantages of which, as a
Roman catholic, he could no.. then be admitted. Hem
however, though then a very young man, make a
stand for the claim (which has mime been conceded),
in an appeal to the Court of Visitors. Called to the
bar in 1848, and within the bar in WM, Mr.
Heron has hitherto held an independent position,
devoting himself to his profeadon, in which he has attained
grmt mucosa, both as a practitioner and as sometime pro-
imam in the Queen's College, Galway, and author of a
learned History of Jurisprudence. The appointment, under
these circumstances, must be comadmed creditable to the
government.—Dvitin Evening Mail.
THE MUTINY AND MARINE AM.—The two acts
of parliament on the army and navy, which received
Rader
the
royal assent on the day of the adjournment for the
recess, have just been issued. By the first-mentioned act
the standing army is limited to 1313,117, including the
depot of regiments serving in India, but exclusive of the
soldiers actually serving in India. Of the 13 public acts
passed in the present session these are the longed, and are
annually Mimed with amendments for the guidance of the
army and navy, and to enforce proper discipline in both
services.
Tax MOUNTAIN Asa MITEDER. —Robert Coe, the
condemned criminal who now lies under sentence of death
in Swansea Owl, has made a confession to the Rev. Mr.
Williams, the gaol chaplain. He states that on Haturday,
the 2nd of September, the day on which it was alleged the
murder was committed, he had a quarrel with John Davies
in the wood, and that be struck him several severe blows
which felled him to the ground. The hatchet produced eh
the trial was not used on this oecsaion. He then left Davies.
believing him to be dead or dying.
_On the Monday, two
days after, he spin went to the wood, carrying with him
the hatchet alluded to. On arriving at the spot where he
left the body of Davies, he found that his victim was still
alive. He then, with a barbarity which is almost incredi-
ble, shopped off the head and carried it some little dis-
tance from the mangled body. It is believed that before
his execution, which is fixed for Thursday, the 12th inst.,
he will give fuller particulars as to the motive which
prompted him to commit such a foul and horrible crime,
which is believed to be
AMPSALB TO THE =—M. de Girardin, in
the Lae*, protests spinet the appeals to the Most Met
which are so frequently made in grave political conjunc-
tures by journalists—and lately, by the Clonstitatiosinet
in
its article on the present state of Germany. It is not from
any pious feeling, the writer remarks, that the name of
God is so pronounced, but from a certain short-sightedness
to dttaidA in what swarter say partiedar incident will ter-
minate. "We do not know may greater sacrilege," adds
M. de Otrardin, " than that of introducing conrtently in
*edam, right ar wee& ' Divine Providence' in

minemt between Austria and Peuada we do not think that
