CURRAGEI SEPTEIBER MEETING.—,TIIESDAY.

The September meeting at the Curragh commenced
this day. Tho weather was very fine, and the attend-
ance numerous. The principal event of the meeting was
the race for the Anglesey Stakes, and it was largely
speculated on, and ended in the discomfiture of the
backers of the favourite, an animal named The De-
formed, which derived her cognomen from her having
been foaled with a pair of very crooked legs, and pur-
chased by her present owner, when a yearling for 151.,
winning after a most exciting race by a length; her
stable companion, Light of the Harem, running second.
After the race Mr. Copperthwaite was offered and re.
fused 1,0001. for The Deformed.
The Scurry Stakes were won by Light of the Harem
as she pleased. The best race of the day, and the very
best Corinthian race we have ever witnessed, was won
in three heats by Sister to Batteraway, ridden by M. W.
Kennedy, each heat being won by little more than half
a head.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND

IRELAND.

We have much pleasure in announcing that Captain
Huish, the general manager of the London and North-
Western Railway, accompanied by Mr. Roney and Mr.
Binger, arrived in Dublin on Monday evening, by the
express boat, from Holyhead. Captain Huish's object
in visiting Ireland is to make himself fully and prac-
tically acquainted with its railway system; and also,
what is most important for the interests of the country,
to consider, on the spot, the various plans that have
been submitted to the London and North-Western Com-
pany for the acceleration and improvement of the com-
munication between London and Dublin. We have
every reason to believe that several important improve-
ments in the communication between the two coun-
tries will be the result of Captain Huish's visit; and it
also affords us much gratification to communicate the
fact, that it is his anxious desire to give the benefit of
his great influence and authority in effecting these ob-
jects. The warm and cordial manner in which Captain
Huish spoke of Ireland at the recent meeting of the
shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Company,
will, no doubt, be fresh in the recollection of our readers.
In illustration of the importance of this visit, we may
state, that if some of the alterations suggested be
adopted, a passenger leaving London in the morning
will be able to get to bed late that night at Belfast,
Cork, or Galway. Facilities such as these cannot fail
to be of the greatest value in promoting the material
interests of this country. The stay of Captain Huish
(who is accompanied by Mrs. Huish) in Ireland will be
about three weeks.—Dublin .Evening Post.

FIRE.—DESTRIICTION OF A BARN AND A QUAN-
TITY OF HAY.—About nine o'clock on Saturday morning a
fire broke out in the extensive barn and shippon belonging
to Mr. Jabez Parker, of Tong Head Farm, in the township
of Tong, near Bolton. The building was about fifteen Yards
by 8 yards, the upper portion being filled with hay, and the
lower affording accommodation for about 38 head of cattle.
There were about 600 cubic yards of hay in the loft, worth
about 2001. ; and most of it was either destroyed or rendered
worthless. The fire engines of Mr, Hardcastle, Messrs.
Ashworth, and the Bolton Corporation, were instrumental in
saving the house ; but the fire had got such hold upon the
mass of hay that it was impossible to extinguish it with the
supply of water available at the time. Mr. Parker had no
insurance on the property, and his lois will oe the more se-
verely felt from the circumstance that during the prevalence
of disease among cattle he lost stock of the value of GOO/.
Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.
THE CONVICTS SARAH AND ANN RIMMEL—The
only persons sentenced to death by Lord Campbell at the
late Liverpool Assizes were the two women convicted of
frequent attempts to poison the daughter of Sarab, and the
niece of the other prisoner. The case was a bad one. A few
days since the sister of the matron of Kirkdale Gaol con-
veyed the news to the Itimmers that their lives would be
sps red.
