Mr. B. J. ftmaritorm said these officer; were valuable
mervants to the public, and they should atteu.l every year to
be re-appointed, but they did riot. They ought not, and
most not expect to receive their appointments as a mere
matter of form. Only one wu in attendunve, Mr. Gregg,
of Brentford division,thsthecould see,of whom he could say
of his own knowledge that ho discharged Lis duties in a
very proper and efficient manner.

On Tuesday evening a new and elegant building

amongst the speakers, and delivered au address upon
The responsibility of employer in relation to the educa-
tion and moral welfare of their workpenple."
The sad story of an Irish famine in prospective
is told by the Rev. John Coghlan, Roman Catholic Arch-
deacon of Achonry, in the county of Mayo. Mr. Cogblsa
says that five-sixths of the potato crop is lost in his district
by floods, and the remainder of it is unfit for human food.
He appeals to the sympathies of the affiueut, and be has
also called the attention of government to the appalling
future which awaits his parishioners. The Lord Lieutenant,
in answer to Mr. Cod 's letter, rya the subject "has
received, and is receiving, the unseat attention of the Irish
government."
THE Faois WOODLANDS MURDER.—A NTICI-
PATED DISCHARGE OP BKERIL—After engaging public at-
teetiou for upwards of a mouth, the inquiry into the case of
Joseph Seers, charged ou his own confession with the
murder of the girl at the Woodlands, /Wine, in September,
1851, is now virtually at an end. In answer to applications
to the Wereffice the prisoner's solicitor. Mr. flartrum, and
Superintendent Deggan, have both received communications
from the Waroffice officially informing them as the result
of inquiries that in 1846 the prisoner Seers, being then 16
years of age, enlisted into the army for a period of
seven yearn. that be was sent to Biala, and
Ltthe whole of that time in the service of the
telndia Company at Bombay, being discharged in
Dill Such Loin' the facts, it WU manifestly impos-
sible for him to have committed the murder in 1851 at
Frome, and there is no doubt that when hrought before the
magistrates on Saturday on remand, lie will be discharged
from custody. Meanwhile much speculation is rife not only
as to his object in making the confession—he being pro-
nounced sane by the medical authorities—but also as to the
quarter from whence he derived his very minute and ac-
curate account of the circumstances of the horrid deed. It
is intended on Saturday to apply to the magistrates to com-
mit the man Payne for perjury, he having deposed to •con-
versstion with Seers in 1851 which could never have taken
place.
MURDER OF A STUDENT BY A SOLDIRR.--CHI-
CHESTER, THCRI4DAY.—A horrible murder WAS committed
in this 'city last night, between eleven and twelve
o'clock. A young gentleman named Fulton was found in •
field fronting Bishop Otter's Training College for School-
masters, shut through the body. On being removed to the
college, the unfortnnate gentleman almost immediately
expired, but not without stating that he believed his mur-
derer to be • soldier. For some days past a private of the
59th Regiment, named Cleary, has been missing from the
Chichester Barracks, and having deserted, his musket and
accoutrements being in his possession, suspicion was imme-
diately creased, it being supposed that Bleary mistook the
murdered man for one of the of ican of his rcziroent. Imme-
diately on information being given at the barracks, patrols
of soldiers were ordered to scour the surrounding couutry in
search of the murderer, but up to this hour no trace of him
has been discovered. The deceased gentleman was training
for a echoolineater, and bore • very high diameter. The
inquest will be held this day.
