The gales which have prevailed with little inter-
mission for several days past have at length passed
away, but have caused great irregularity in the
arrival of the English mails. The accounts of losses
on the coast are numerous. The Diana, screw-
steamer, of Waterford, went on shore at the Great
Burbo on Wednesd‘y last ; and on the following day
the J. P. Whitney, American liner, from Philadelphia,
struck on the rocks at the same place, and went to
pieces, the crew having, however, been saved. Oa
the western coast the effects of the tempest
of Tuesday last are described as having been
terrific, huge rocks on the shore having been
moved by the waves to a considerable dis-
tance ; and numbers of houses having been levelled or
unroofed along the coast. At Omagh the church
spire was struck by lightning and much injured.
Several cattle were killed in the same neighbourhood
by the electric fluid, and trees uprooted by the force
of the storm. _ _

The Cork Examiner states that Dr. Sleigh, of
London, a member of the council of the National
Reform Association, has arrived in Cork, on a tour
through Ireland, for the purpose of organising in this
country associations to co-operate with the body in
England in carrying out the returns policy of the
present movement.
A meeting of paper manufacturers wss held in
Dublin cn Fr:day, to petition for a repeal of the
excise duties on paper.
The four new measures for law reform of Ireland
have already met with general approbation, and are
likely to become very popular if, on being more in-
timately known, they are found to realise present
anticipations.
The Evening Nail announces on authority the
gradual improvement of the health of the L rd Pri-
mate, who was supposed last week t 3 be attacked by
a fatal Wafts.
The Freeman's Journal, in its weekly commercial
article, thus describes the state of business here dur-
ing the lot eight days:
Busiueu both in produce and shares has bern still worse
this week than last. A less amount has been done, and
nr:ces for the principal articles have given way more or less.
Shares have also been neglected. One or two minor failures
have taken place, but credit is generally well supported, sad
money is very abundant on good w euritics.
