should retire from the trait bemuse he felt he was no brier
able to diacharge its duties efaciently. As Byron had ob-
served, it was very difiluit to pronoun.* the word
Farewell ;" sad before he (Mr. Pearson) attempted to do
so be would sit d we, in order that an opportunity might be
offered to thou grallsoten who had entered the room since
the commencement of his speech to make any_observetion
which they might think necessary. (Cries of "No, no," sad
cheers, amid which It,. Yeoman reamed his seat.)
Mr. F DOULTON then proposed a resolution to the fol-
lowing effect; "That this meeting highly aopreciates the
hosourabls conduct of their late representative, Charlie
Pearson, Esq., who, while enjoying the lull confidence of
his constituents, bas resigned into their buds the trust they
bays reposed ia his, when he felt himself unable from ill
health to discharge its duties satisfutorily to Wessell."
Mr. J. BARTRUM *minded the motion, which was
eanied usanisously.
Mr. Alderman Smarr, M.P., sad Mr. D. W. Wine.
respectively addressed the meeting, eulogising Mr. Pearsou's
conduct as the representative of the borough.
A resolutiou was then paned, to the effect that Mr. Post-
man be reepecthally 'ego sted to have his address printed,
and circulated awe gut the electors.
PBABSON said be should have much pleasure in
aseediag to the request which had been made in this reso.
lath*, although it would not be a light task, considering
that be was an extemporaneous masker, and only spoke
accordion to the dictates of his heart. The hon. gentleman
then addressed a few coacludiap words to the -hectare, sad
Meals bid them " farewell ' retired.
A resolution was afterwards passed to the effort that the
rautise pledged itself to support Mr. Pearson in any en-
deavoun he might make to curry oat a reform in pr:son
disciplia• • sad thanks having been voted to the charm*,
the proceeding, terminated.

Thrum, Arovn 12.

Mr. Keogh, the member for Attione, wu enter-
tained at a public dinner by his constituents, on
Thursday last. The rector of the parish occupied
the chair, acd the parish priest the vice-chair, exhi-
biting no bad instance of the maim which is rapidly
extending itself in this country among parties who
have hitherto been separated by sectarian differences.
Mr. Keogh thus pledged himself on the important
question of tenant-right :

I soy that God and nature intended that the soil should
prow and increase in cultivation, and that the roan who br
bin labour and his capital increased t►e Talus of the soil
'should hove a property in t►at iacrsae•4 vales. That is
the inalienable right of the tenant. (Cheers.) That is
toaaut-right—(heo)-4nd that I unhadtatitgly minas you
I will labour to Waist for ►in. Upon these topics we are
all united. (Loud chaera) Let whatever party cows into
power, upon the quastioas of fres trade and the rights of the
taunt say opinions an unchaasad and unchangeable.

The latest account' of the potato disease give, to
say the least of them, no cause for any additional
alarm. The return is described as being most abun-
dant, and amply sufficient to enable the con itry to
bear a partial damage of the crop, however the injury
might affect individuals. The Cbrk Reporter of
Saturday has the following on the subject:
This learnisg, a most intelligent and trustworthy gentle-
man told us that is the neighbourhood of Blarney, several
fields la which the syntheses of Gimes* had appeared, have,
siege the rain of the last couple alders est ice, began to look
healthy ogee sere, and the diseased stalks to acquire new
readers.
The Galway Vindicator tells an extraordinary story
about a woman who had been burnt by the potato
blight! She was employed near Chamois weeding
in a potato field, when she suddenly perceived a burn-
ing blast of air, which scorched and bleckened her
skin' even corroding the flesh, and all around her.
She found that the potatoes were as suddenly black-
ened and destroyed!
A fire, vt ry destructive in its consequences, broke
out in this city this morning. It was first discovered
in the shop of Mr. Donnelly, the extensive hosier, in
Westmoreland-street; and, as it burned with great
violence, the inmates were rescued with great diffi-
culty, and the flames having extended to the adjoining
premiere of the Royal Exchange Insurance Company
of London, they were not effectually subdued until
the two large houses were completely consumed, and
some of the adjoining ones slightly Injured. The
pipers of the Insurance Company were saved, and
Mr. Donnelly's concernej were, it is. said, amply
insured.
A destructive fire broke out in the Hantark Work-
house, on Friday evening, by which in a few hones
the entire building of the main house, the dining hall,
kitchen, bake house, mill, and a part of the southern
wing was burned to the ground, nothing left of this
fine building but the part of the bedding
was saved; no lives lost. The firs was accidental, and
the building is insured.
The funeral of the Earl of Dunraven took place on
Saturday, the remains of the deceased nobleman
being deposited in the mausoleum erected by himself
in Aden churchyard. Over 4,000 rec7ns are said
to have assembled to pay the last tribute to his me-
mory. Lord Aden, now Earl of Danraven, has been
distinguished for his enlightened patronage of Irish
literature and antiquities. His lordship arrived at
Mare Castle on Friday last.
Eleven convicts under sentence of transportation
effected their escape from the gaol of Maryborough
last week, and nose of them have yet been arrested.

n( oa Monday last, at the company's offices, Adel*.
terrace, Waterford. No dividend was &okra in
consequence of too much of the profits having bees
absorbed in the opposition that has been carried on
during nearly the last twelve month'. By detailed
amounts laid befogs the meeting the lose under this
head, although large, has not yet been inconsiderable
as might have bean anticipated.—Cfontrwl CJwooloio.
