THE EARL OF DERBY V.

ASSASSINATION.

TO THE EDITOR or THE NORTHERN. DAILY TIMES,

Sts,—l have before me the Lancashire Free' Press and the

Lirerp 00l Chronicle of this day. The former denounces the

Earl of Derby for the course he has thought proper to pursue
with such of his tenants on the Doon estate as are pre,umed to
be accessories after the fact, to the murder of his late bailiff ;
but I have looked in vain through its colunins (though it is an
exclusively Irish and Catholic
,pak)er) for the information I'
find Under the head of "Ireland" in the latter. The informa-
tion I' refer to affords to my mind satisfactory• evidence that

the Earl of Derby has at last hit on the right course to pursue,
in dealing with the' Ribbon conspirators. It is briefly as

follows :

1. Two brothers, named O'Brien, have been arrested and
committed is gaol, charged with the murder of Mr.
Crowe, on Lord Derby's property at Doon, in July last.
2. The Doon police have arrested James Kennedy, charged
with being one of the murderers of Edward Murphy, in
June last.

3. A man, named Gehan, has been arrested, as the leader of
a gang of Ribbonmen who waylaid and beat severely

some of the witnesses who gain evidence respecting the

assassination of Jessop, some.months ago. His hay.

bourer (a snug farmer) is also in custody

4. Front private information, two brothers, tamed Ryan,
have been captured, charged with the murder of the
steward of H. W. Bradshaw, Esq., J.P., at Ratlicannon.
5. A man, named Stafford, has been arrested, supposed to be
the murderer of Mr. Ely, in Nov., 185.8.

Sevea supposed murderers arrested ,in one week, and no
fresh murder recorded! This is completely reversiag the old
order of thingsand may be called the legitimate fruits of
Lord Derby's manifesto.
But how is it that, with the exception of the cases Nos. 2
and 5, (the least noteworthy,) the new Irish, paper is silent on
these striking facts?—Fours truly, A DERDYITE.
October 1, 1859.

P.S.—I see it is particularly resented that Lord Derby has
not made an exception in favour of the priest. I think most
Englishmen will agree with me in the opinion that; had he
done so, he only have scotched the snake—now he may
perchance kill it, as far as Doon is concerned. The Freeman's
Journal ought to know that it is an opinion all but universal
in England, that the priest's are at the bottom of the Ribbon
conspiracy.

THEATRICAL LICENSE- FOR
NIGHTINGALE MUSIC SALOON

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES

Dein Sia,—lriu will confer a favour by inserting in your
valuable journal .the foll Owing. Having read your report of
my application for a Theatrical License, I feel persuaded that,
with. your usual liberality, you will permit me to correct one
or two errors which are calculated to injure me, although I
believe the same to be unintentional on your part. In your
report, Mr. S. Helene asserted that the widthof my music-hall
was 41 feet and the length 4(3 feet. But having measured it
in the presence of three highly respectable persons this morn-
ing, I find the width insid& to be 46 feet, and the entire length
from back of stage to end of hall 51 feet, and the entrance
doorway exactly 5 feet 10 inches. And with reference to the
lighting of the place (which Mr. Mame called a dungeon), I
beg to say there are 94 burners, all of which are lighted at night.
The dressing-rooms, I admit, are in an unfinished state, owing
to alterations to be made for theatrical representations. And
if Mr. Holme will kindly favour me with another visit in about
ten days, he will find that objection removed, also it new door-
Fay, and the place re-seated, and the second doorway capable
of the exit of six persons-at one time., .Mr. Editor, it has
always been my study to improve the plahe.and add to the
comfort of my patrons: I have not Inor will I) spare any
expense for their amusement, nor shall I relax in my eadea-
,vours to procure a license„; and possessing a .eharacter unde-
niable, I trust my friends will rally round my standard, and
by a continuance of their support, thus express their sympathy
