FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

DUBLIN., TUESDAY.
THE FRENCH-STREET SUICIDE.--All doubt, as to the
identity of the unfortunate deceased, has been set at rest.
The body was exhumed yesterday, and identified by Messrs.
Mein and Grainger, of Jedburgh, as that ofJames MacFarlane,
a clerk in their employment, who, on the 25th of August
last, had forged a cheque for £715, with which he absconded.
The clothes, handwriting, &c., of the unfortunate man were
also identified by his employers. From information obtained
by the police, it appears that the deceased, after committing
the forgery, absconded from the town of Jedburgh, having
induced a servant of Mr. Mein's to drive him in a vehicle to
the next railway station, that was about eight miles distant,
from which he proceeded to Alford, where his wife re-
sided, and absconded from about the same time. It also
appeared that although• the draft was cashed on Thursday,
the forgery was not discovered until the next Saturday,
when the Government and the Bank employed Mr. Everitt,
the commander of the Jedburgh county police, to pursue the
delinquent to New York. It has been stated that the imita-
tion of the drawer was so perfeet that the manager of the
bank would have paid some thousands on it. Messrs. Meir
and Grainger have made affidavits, for the purpose of se-
curing any property of deceased's found upon him at French-
street. The Commissioners of Police are to decide their
right to-day at one o'clock.

-Arnocioirs OUTRAGE.—The Boyle (Co. Roscommon)
Gazette has the following :—" One of the most degrading
outrages that has been committed in our town for a length
of time, was perpetrated on the night of Sunday last ; and,
it is more to be regretted, as poor . dumb harmless animals
have been the unoffending victims of the malignity and
cruelty of a class, who have not, to say the least, either the
fear of God or man in their hearts. It appears, that on the
above-mentioned night, some parties crossed the gate or
walls of Mr. Judge's yard, in Eton's-lane, and having pen-
etrated into the stables, administered a ball containing
poison, to each of four horses, causing the death of three of
the animals on the next day, after the most excruciating
torture. The fourth house, which was the worst, recovered-.
The only cause that can be assigned for this act, is that Mr.
Judge, who is an extensive merchant, has been in the habit
of using his own horses for the conveyance of goods from
Sligo and elsewhere, which called forth the malice of the
carmen of Boyle and neighbourhood, inasmuch as their ser-
vices were by this means.dispensed with. The Hon. L. IL
King Harman, Captains Duckworth and Johnston, and Dr.
O'Farrell, held a private investigation on Wednesday, after
the usual business of the Petty Sessions Court was disposed
of, which led to the arrest of several of the carmen, two of
whom, named Pat Sharkett and Thomas Gavigan, were
committed fully to Roscommon, under an escert of six of the
constabulary. A third, named James Butler, was also com-
mitted afterwards, the investigation having been continued
by the Magistrates on Thursday. We understand that the
government have offered a reward of £5O for the prosecution
and conviction of the offender or offenders. "

GREAT MUNSTER FAIR.—At this fair there were 1,427
horses, 1,155 pigs, 6,680 sheep, and 4,450 horned cattle.

THE TENANT CONFERENCE.—This body commenced its
" new series" of sittings last night; when Messrs. Shee,
M.P., Lucas, M.P., Duffy, M.P., Potter, M.P., and Dr.
Gray, of the Freeman, were the only persons of the slight-
est note present, the remainder of the company being com-
posed of priests, and the sub-editor of the Nation. The
sceances will continue some time, but already several mem-
bers of Parliament who were invited have refused to attend.
Meanwhile, some idea of the mode in which the new Con-
ference will go to work may. be judged from an epistle in
reference thereto, from Dr. Cantwell, the R. C. titular Bishop
of Meath, who writes that one of the measures to secure
tenant-right must necessarily be "the pulling down of Pro-
testant ascendancy"

FIRE.—A portion of the candle factory of Mr. O'Connor,
37, Camden-street, was yesterday destroyed by fire. It has
not been discovered how the flames arose. The property
was insured in the Patriotic Insurance Company.

CAPEL STREET POLICE OPIUM —Tun Corrorx.tlACY EASE.
—Tins case came on yesterday, for the third time, when
after the examination of some witnesses, Mr. Armstrong,
Mr. Brady' and Mr. Blake, Q.C. were heard for the defen-
dants, and Mr. Meagher for the prosecution. Dr. Kelly
then intimated, that he would decline judgment on Thursday
next.

STORM.—A severe south-westerly gale blew very hard
from about two to five o'clock this morning. It came in a
succession of, squalls which were greatly felt in the neigh-
bourhood of Kingstown. - A perfect calm has followed, but
it is not unlikely that some damage ha been done at sea.
