IRELAND.

Dooms, Nov. 12.
The Lord-Lieutenant, attended by the private secre-
tary and aide-de-camp, paid a visit on Saturday to
the exhibition of farm produce in the Agricultural
Museum of the Royal Dublin Society. His excel-
lency remained a considerable time, and seemed much
gratified with the proofs displayed of the abundance
and quality of the last harvest.
The sale of the Blnsiogton Rotates was resumed
yesterday in Metter Litton's Office, that portion sub-
mitted for sale on this occasion, being the Dublin
property. Mr. Anderson, the solicitor, having the
carriage of the proceedings, said that they had been
so much more successful than they had anticipated in
the sale last week, that not more than about 7001. a
year of the rental would be offered that day. He an-
tounced that he was authorised bythe Muter to put any
lots which intending purchasers would desire, adding,
that lots under 501. a year rent would be put up sepa-
rately, provided the parties offered 26 pare' purchase
for them. A few tenants paying small rents were
declared purchasers on these terms, and various lots
in different localities were called for, which were sold
at prices vex ins from 18 to 25 years' purchase. The
largest puwhaeere were the Boy. Ltd! Mr- las&
' later, of fisetrill•-street Dr. • - d Ball-
street ; Mr. Howson, of Sendymonnt ; the Rev. Mr.
Curtis; and Mr. Daniel Hutton. The gross amount
of rental sold was 6871. 9i. 91., and produced
14,2041. 18s. 6d., being over 201 years' purchase.
'The sales were concluded at 4 o'clock, when Mr.
I Anderson stated that no more of the Dublin property
could be sold at present, as when the townlande in
Tyrone, the sale of which was adjourned to Wednes-
, day next, should be disposed of, there would be barely
sufficient of both wales reserved for the existing an-
nuities.

An application was made yesterday in the Court of
Queen's Bench that the demurrer to the return made
by the town council of Dublin to the mandamus for
electing a new lord mayor should be set down for
triaL These promedings now appear the more abeurd
as Mr. Reynold's year of office ts on the eve of termi-
nation.

At an affray between the masons and others em-
ployed in the poorhouse works at Kenmare, last week,
one man was a ebbed with a knife and killed.

At the Middleton onion, on Thursday last, Mr.
Becher, one of the guardians, said that his crop of
flax realised 151. per acre, and that be would grow
nine acres of it next year. The cultivation of flax ap-
peers to have been as successful the present year that
it has become still more popular with the owners and
occupiers of land in almost every part of the country.
The Down Recorder has the following :

We understand that a 'chitin ►as taken pl;oe in the mis-
naming committee of the Tenant League for this county, on
the subject of the resolutions intended to ►e submitted to
the ensuing meeting. It is stated that certain resolutions
bad been drawn up by the committee, and submitted to Mr.
Sharman Crawford; that Mr. Crawford eorsidered three
reeolat•nas rather extreme, and suggested some 'modifica-
tions; that one portion of the committee, consisting of the
Very Rev. Dr. M'Auley, Mr. James Bingham, and Mr.
Jamas Johnston, acquiesced io the c►anges made; while
another portion, consisting of Dr. ,M*Kaight and the Rev.
Mr. Rogers, adhered to the original draft. This is the
scrounge! the matter that has reached us. Whet effect it
m►y have on the county meeting remains to beacon.

Effective steps have been taken by the landed pro-
prietor., merchants, and other inhabitants of &illy-
'Mason and its neighbourhood, to establish steam
erminunication between their port and Glasgow and
Liverpool. This course seems infinitely more rational
and more likely to lead to the advantage of those
concerned than that alopted by some of the western
and southern towns and villages in struggling for the
establishment of a traasstlantio packet station.

SIMPWTED MURDER IN LENT.—Mrs. Sarah Bates,
aged 67 yeses, the keeps of a small chandler's shop, in
But Pethhani, was found on Thursday night last, at about
balf.put five o'clock, bins/ dead behind her counter, with
her throat cut, apparently by a large bacon knife, which
was lying near her. Her nephew came home at the
above hour, and not Boding her, went up stain to change
his drum, in order to go to an evening school, when be missed
some clothe, and four shillings out of his boo. Another lad
called on him, and they were abutting op the shop, when
they found the aunt's body as above described. She had
then been dead some time. She had been then alive by a
female neighbour at about three o'clock, when she said she
was not fit for work, burst out envieg, and asked her to
go in. She seemed to have been drinking, to which she was
some .that addicted. Bk• woe also 4san by another neigh-
bour at about fire, at her beck door, swaying to and fro,
with her arms folded. When found, her hands were much
cut, and there were marks of blood u it she had passed
along the counter whilst bleeding, and had isto,d and bled
at a different spot from that where she was found. The
place did not appear to have barn robbed, and the sum of
211. 10e. was found in one of her bones. An Inquest was
held on Friday, before J. N. Dudlow. Esq., when Mr. Big.
geodes, surgeon, stated It to be his opinion that the wounds
cidald not have been inflitesid by herself. The jury retuned
a verdict that "deceased had been found dead with her
throat cut, but whether or not by her own set there was no
evidence to show."

THE ESCAPED CONVICTS PROM LEEDS GAOL.—
We stated ;soma time ago in the Express, that one of
the two osevicts who escaped from the Lime Gaol on the
sth of October had been captured. We have now to add
that Showcased On, Richard Ghanian, has bass re-takes
near Cheadle, is Staffordshire. He was again lodged In
the Lewis Gaol on Sunday night. He, like his companion,
states that he has not asp& le • bed slam hts mop* from
gaol.
DFCEEASE OF Carina.—At the Bristol Police Court
yesterday there was cot • single sharp, either of felony,
mi-desmanour, or drunken and disorderly conduct, and the
magistrate, whose jurisdlicies includes apopuladoe of about
200,000 persons, bad nothing to do. To the credit of the
city it stay be mentioned that this is not the first time
within the laat two or three years that such an event has
occurred.
