WIGAN.

The town remains peaceable and quiet, and although the
death-like forms of the female factory hands are everywhere
to be seen, there appears as yet no disposition on their part
to resume work at previous prices. A still greater number
of the females (but very few men) presented themselves at
the respective mills on Monday morning, but not in sufficient
numbers to warrant the masters to commence operations.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.

THE EXHIBITION.—The arrangements for the
promenade in the Exhibition building are pro-
gressing most satisfactorily. A general announce-
ment of the plan of proceedings will be made in
a few days, and an office opened for the sale of
season tickets. To give increased attraction to the
promenade it is intended to decorate the building
with groups of evergreen shrubs and flowers, in
addition to fountains and a little statuary, From
the rapid manner in which the goods are being re-
moved it is expected that the promenade will be
opened to the public about the first week in De-
cember. A number of men are at present busily
employed in demolishing the counters and walls,
now, with the exception of the foreign collection,
almost the only remains of the past Exhibition.
Mn. MACDOUGALL'S CASE.—The accusation against
this gentleman, which I briefly alluded to in my
Saturday's despatch was continued in the Court of
Chancery. The petition was presented on the
part of Mr. William Robinson, of the Phoenix iron
works, and was to the effect that when he was
labouring under a temporary derangement, and
confined in a lunatic asylum, the respondent
had procured his release for a few days, and then
prevailed on him to sign certain mortgages and
deeds of transfer, in which the respondent had an
interest. The present proceeding was to break
the deeds, and in the event of success, a motion
will be made to strike Macdougall off the roll of
attorneys: The attorney-general and Mr. Hughes,
Q.C., have been heard for the respondent, and
Mr. F. Fitzgerald/ Q.C., for the petitioner. The
first named gentleman has perhaps something
more than a professional interest in the case, as,
considering his late appointment of the accused,
his discretion is rather at stake in the matter.
Macdougall belonged to a most respectable firm
in the city, his partner being a brother of Judge
Perrins. The case has excited great interest and
the court was crowded to excess during its hear-
ing. To-day Mr. Exham will reply for the petitioner.
AN ELECTION INTRIGUE.—The facts of a disrepu-
table piece of electoral intrigue have just been
re-opened here. The matter was connected with
the Carlow borough election of July, '52, in which
Mr. John Sadlier, the present junior lord of the
treasury, was the successful candidate, and it is
this gentleman whose conduct appears in the least
advantageous light in the business. It is necessary,
for perfectly understanding this case, that your
readers should know that there is a banking estab-
lishment, with numerous ramifications in this
t aSs ,c,ksadieil Bank.". s

from the position as chairman which Mr.
S. occupies in it. A Mr. Edward Dowling, a Roman
Catholic elector of the borough, thought proper to
use his influence against Mr. Sadleir, and wrote a
letter in the local paper, canvassing and disputing
that gentleman's claims on the constituency. Mr.
Dowling, as afterwards appeared to his cost, did
not act very discreetly in doing this, for " the
Bank," that is, the branch department of the Tip-
perary establishment, held certain acceptances of
his. At the time of the election they had yet a
few months to run. A poor drunken wretch,
named Crotty, was sought out, and the bills being
placed in his hands, he was instructed forthwith to
arrest Dowling on them. This was to screen the
real actors, and accordingly on the eve of the election,
the arrest was made, and the unlucky politician
put altogether without the possibility of voting.
After th election, however, on application to
Judge Crampton, in chamber, Dowling's release
was ordered, as it appeared the bills were not
actually due at the time of the arrest. The learned
judge in making the order, commented rather
strongly on the facts; and, following them up,
Dowling, as soon as he came out of prison, com-
menced an action for false imprisonment against
Crotty. The trial was to have come on at the
last March commission, in Maryborough, but was
rather curiously put a stop to. Most unaccountably,
of course, the day before the assizes, Crotty got
amongst a rather convivial set of fellows, drank
some quarts of whiskey, and died just in the
nick of time for those who were trembling in their
coats, at the exposé his evidence would bring upon
them. That was the end of the comedy or tragedy
for the time being, but strangely enough there
seems to be a sort of fatuity about the actions of
" the Bank." Only a few days ago, Dowling was.
again arrested on those very same acceptances,
and yesterday an application was made to the
exchequer, for his release. A number of affidavits
were read, of which, if one-fiftieth be true, Mr. John
Sadleir, M.P., is what we expressively term in
this country, "an exceedingly nice boy." We
shall, however, it is probable, soon hear what he
has to say for himself, as an order has been made
that " the Bank" shall forthwith file affidavits in
answer.

CLONMEL.—There is, as I have heard, no doubt
of Mr. O'Connell's return. The league have been
routed most signally, and unmistakeably.

WEST AFRICAN MAILS. - The Postmaster-General has
given notice that the west coast of African packet will not
be despatched before the Ist December next, and that let-
ters will be in time for her on the 30th instant.

We have been informed, says the Warwick Advertiser,
that the Hon. Miss Camoys, daughter of Lord Camoys, took
the veil at the Benedictine Priory, at Princethorpe, on Tues-
day last. The ceremony was presided over by the Right
Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, who was assisted by a number of
priests. _

COLONEL DOUGLAS PENNANT AND THE WELSH EISTEDDFOD.
—The Hon. Colonel Douglas Pennant declines the proposed
honour of the Presidency of the coming Eisteddfod, as he is
not a Welshman. He also strongly objects to the holding of
an Eisteddfod, alleging that he thought no practical good
resulted from such ephemeral gatherings.
THE DERBY CASE OF BRIBERY. The indictment against
the Right Hon. William Beresford, upon which the grand
jury returned a true bill upon a charge of bribery arising
out of the recent election for Derby (removed by a writ of
certiorari into the Queen's Bench), has not yet been set
down for trial ; it is, however, competent for either party to
do so before Saturday next. The prosecutor neglected to
give notice of trial, in consequence of the defendant being
under recognizances. The solicitors for the defendant gave
notice of trial and obtained a rule for a special jury, which
has since been nominated and struck, and the indictment will be
set down for [trial at the sittings after the present term at
Westminster. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Bodkin, and
another legal gentleman, are already retained for the de-
fendant, it being understood that the attorney-general will
appear on the part of the prosecution.
CURE OF CANCER BY Dr. DE DEICYNES' THE FRENCH
PHYSICIAN NOW IN LIVERPOOL.—Amongst the marvellous
cures that G. P. De L'Huynes, M.D., effects every day,
upon patients declared incurable, such as the deaf and dumb,
the paralytic and consumptive, &c., &c., should be cited the
cure of cancer, without operation, as a real benefit for
humanity, Dr. De L'Huynes has just cured a lady of high
rank, in London, who was abandoned by the faculty, with a
cancer at the breast. He has recently cured in Germany,
the Countess of Schiller of an ulcerated cancer in the right
breast. At Cheltenham, and in Birmingh am, he has effected two
other cures of the same malady, acknowledged by the most
distinguished physicians of those towns. Moreover, in Man-
chester the Doctor has very lately cured another lady afflicted
with this cruel malady. The reputation that Dr, De
L'Huynes has already acquired for himself in England, is
increased every
.day, by some marvelloils and astonishing
cures. In leaving Liverpool at the end of 'December,. Dr.
De L'Huynes will go to, icor*, thence to Edinburgh 444
Glasgow.
