This affair continues to excite • profound sensa-
tion in Dublin. The Preessita's Journal of yesterday
says :—" Up to the present the perpetrator of this funs
outrage is at large, notwithstanding that the most active
exertion have been made on the part of the policemen and
cabmen to effect bin arrest. During the entire of yesterday
the cab drivers of the city almost entirely neglected thew
ordinary business, for the purpose of rendering what assist-
thee they could in detecting the ruffian whom they feel has
brought odium on them as a body. Every hour that puns
without the detection of the scoundrel adds to the imps.
tienee of the public, who oration to manifest the greatest
anxiety. Indeed the case still absorbs the satire public at-
tention, and forms the theme of conversation amongst
the rich and poor in every part of the city.
The cabmen will hold an aggregate meeting this evening
at Fishanible-street, when they will subscribe a large sum
as a reward for the apprehension of the criminaL A number
of suspected persons were closely questioned by the polio,
during the day, but nothing has as yet transpired to bring
the charge home to the guilty party. Yesterday an adver-
tisement of the Commissioners of Police offering • reward
ci 251. was extensively posted is the neighbourhood ci the
various stands. We are in a position to state that within
the past two days nut less than fifty cabmen have bees
brewed before the brother of the outraged lady for the
purpose of giving that gentleman an opportunity of iden-
tifying the cabman to whom he entrusted his sister. There
appears now to be the strongest reasons for believing that the
who committed the onuses was not • cab driver.
person
'ewould not be faithful chroniclers of events did we sot
Rate in the most positive manner that it is believed that
some cab owner knows who the felon is, and, if we mistake
not, an organisation will be effected that will render it
all but an impossibility that the cowardly black-
gaud can any longer escape detection. Some difficulty, it
is said, will arise on the ground of identification, even if the
ruffian were muted ; but it is understood that the young
lady has expressed her thorough conviction that she will be
able to recognise the scoundrel. This gram, cowardly, and
repulsive outrage is already beginning to operate unfavour-
ably on cabs ; and if their owners had no other or higher
motive than the protection of their property to stimulate
them to exertion, it would be sufficient to give them energy
in hunting down • wretch who is not only a diagram to the
city and to the body to which he belongs, but to common
humanity."

THE GREAT EXHIBITION OP SPORTING .AND
OTHER DOGS.

Title exhibition, which ha. been open to the
euriltis in such matters for four days, was brought toe con-
clusion last evening, and, for the first of the kind in London,
it has proved • decided enema.. On Wednesday, the first
of the shilling days, nearly 4.000 paid at the doors • ou
Thursday there was • still further increase ; and yeetirday
the number of visitors was such as to leave no doubt that the
exhibition, if kept open for another week, would have been
equally well patronised. In truth, the show Laa been as
interesting to the camel visitor as to the moat enthusiastic
fancier. To decide on the merits of full 300 dugs in regard
to " points, qualities, properties," aad ether characteri-tias,
requires • nice dimerisausation. We believe the decisions
have bees, as the whole, latidectory. Ths, Mr. }:lie
admirable ball Swims were awarded Imam • and the
Xing Charles spaniels of Mr. Stretch and Dr. Hooked, re-
ceived 'similar oompliment Mr. Day's Dalmatian' or spotted
dog, Warrior, also pined extra honours. In the' clam much
is rest was excited by the exhibition ou the last day of a
very fine puppy, Tuby, by Warrior Mr. T. Wilson's
spotted bitch Faa, and also by the appearance of Far, her-
self in the latter part of the day. The latter is well known
to the habits/a and themes& who traverse that great
thoroughfare ea the living sign at the " Spotted Dog" in
the Strand. Had either Pea or Toby been entered in time,
it must from its rareness, have posed a prize. Satisfac-
tion wa.. also a:premed at Mr. Appleby's Yep„ the sheep-
dog of Tartery, mid Mr. Taut/nes Skye terrier Rock did sot
go unrewarded. We have a r doubt that the experience
I piped on this first attempt will be improved upon, and
that the next gathering will be 'veil more excellent. An
immense cumber of Wes were elected during the week.

THE BILSTONIIDIII.—By the arrest of Brand-
rick the police think that they have secured the whole of the
peg who are suspected of beiag in any way concerned with
this-frightful offence. It is fasr thought that they have
only succeeded in making there arst after the fourth gram
mime which they have committed. In consequence much
credit is due to the police of Billiton. It is seldom that it
can be said that, knowing their character, the police were
watching to arrest men who, if the theory of the prosecu-
tion he tree, turn out to be the worst characters in the
whole town ; and that in consequence of that watchful-
ness on the part of the police the perpethiton of a
murder were arrested within an hour of its commission,
and swag of seven desperadoes secured in the subsequent
four eye. The fact should serve to quiet some of
the WHII•100.1 which is being felt in Billiton relative to
the safety at life and property in that township. If the bi-
llet:ideate will see that their premises are properly secured
at ;nightfall ; and the town commissioners will exert the
power they poems, and compel the many houses of ill-fame
in Basta' to be registered as lodging houses, the police are
evidently wall qualified to discharge their duty ; but if the
inhabitants should be of opinion that the force of polies
now stationed in Billiton is not strong enough to efficiently
patrol the town at night, end they an prepared to pay for
an addition to the force, we doubt not but the polio, com-
mittee of the county will readily increase the number. We
know, however, that great attention has been paid by the
police authorities to the nquiraments of Bilstoo. Whatever
other parte of South Staffordshire might have to miter from
a diminished force consequent upon an kumflicient supply of
coustablee, Major IV/iambi bee taken care that Billiton
should have it, quaatum.—Biemindiani Poet.
MURDZIL fY SrlauNo.—As Sheriff Sconce wan
engaged in the Falkirk Small Debt Court on Wednesday,
a telegraphic masers from Stirling was handed to him cm
the bench, to the effect that a murder had been committed
to Stirling on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Whet
the contents of the telegram became rumoured in court no
little excitement and interest were manifested, swing that
information of the murder had not reached the authorities
of Stirling till after the despatch of the minim train
which conveyed his lordship to Falkirk. It appears that •
house of queetiocable fame is kept in the Cestlehill, Stir-
ling, by an old pensioner. Hie pension became due on
Tuesday, and he and his friends, of both sexes, betook
themselves to the consumption of an unlimited quantity of
liquor. There bad evidently been • series of quarrels in
the house, the precise origin of which, however, is not
twee in the niemitime. Several of the peewee, on re-
tiring to bed, seem to hare been absolutely oblivious
from drink. On awakening in the morning, the pensioner
states that he found his wife lying in bed beside him, cold
and lifeless, having a ghastly throat wound, effected
by some slurp instrument, indicating that she had
been murdered. Information having reached the polio*,
the persons found in the house were apprehended, soul •
warrant of committal having been signed by Sheriff Sconce,
they were on Wednesday odged in Stirling Prison. oousof
