The Limerick .Reporter states that a most diabo-
lical outrage was committed on Saturday night, on
I the • Southern and Western Railway, between Mary-
borough and Monntnorth, some reinreants having
1 a huge stone from a bridge upon the mail
train u it was passing: the stone fortunately missed
any of the passenger carriages, bat fell through the
roof of the carriage which contained the mail bags.
No person has yet been snorted for the outrage.
There are no new facts of any importance relating

FINE ARTS.

THE KING OF HOLLAND'S GALLERY.
(Prom oar own corrempancliet.)
Tax Hors, Avant? 9.

The exhibition of this royal collection has attracted
the attention of the admirers of the fine arts in almost
every part of Europe ; foe gnat the approaching
sale of it was made known to the public the Hague
heti been the point to which almost every travelling
amateur has bent his course, and a constant stream of
visitors has been flowing bitherwards ever since this
doomed gallery has been opened to inspection ; and
as we draw nearer to Monday next, on which the
sale commences, the interest that the world stems to
feel in it, hourly increases. Every hotel is filled to
over-flowing ; and the catalogues which were printed,
some thousands, it is said, having been all pur-
-1 chased, the excitement that is manifested to obtain
one by each succeeding visitor that arrives, exceeds
all bounds. Yesterday any one who possessed one,
and was disposed to part with it had no difficulty in
obtaining six times its cost, namely six guilders,—to-
day twelve, or a pound sterling has been eagerly
offered, and unless they can get the type re-set and
more printed what extravagant aims will be de-
manded no one can foresee.

Among the Dutch picture which will be sold on
Monday, at the commencement of the sale, are the
fine productions of Rembrandt, and admired speci-
mens also of Hobbema, Raysdael, Wouvernans,
Jan Steen, Van der Veldt, BacUuysen, Wean:, &o.
Those of the French school, among which are works
of Claude, Puede, &c., will also be sold on the same
day, and a few of the Flemish pictures like ;ripe.
Wednesday will, perhaps, be the most interesting
day, on account of the ale of the rare and most valuable
works of the early Flemish muter' ; and the Spanish
pictures, by Murillo, Velampez, and Ribeira.
Friday, which will conclude the sale of the pictures,
will be taken up with the productions of the Italian
school.

The cartoons and drawings of the old masters,
ohieey of the Italian schoolr, and 26 fine statues and
busts will be sold on Monday the 19th inst.
The general opinion here Is that the whole sale will
realise a hundred thousand pounds sterling : but this
estimate is very questionable.
