DUBLIN, MONDAY E V ENING.— —THE VACANT
BISHOPRIC.—The Mail of this evening says, there is
reason to believe that the doubt that has existed since
the death of the late Bishop of Meath as to who should
be his successor has been ►erminated in favour of Dr.
Singer, Regius Professor, and Archdeacon of Raphoe.
A letter from Limerick, dated last night, states that a
respectable farmer was brutally murdered on the pre-
vious evening. The victim's name was Shine, a tenant
of the Earl of Dunraven. The unfortunate man's only
crime was that he had the temerity to take some land
on the adjoining estate of the Rev. Willitlna Waller,
from which some people (supposed to be implicated in
the present brutal murder) had been removed. Seven
persons have been arrested ou suspicion of being impli-
cated in the foul deed.

PEDESTRIANISM.
GREAT TEN-MILE RUNNING-MATCH FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND 1001.
This great match, between W. Jackson (the American
Deer) and John Levett of (Battersea), to ran ten miles
for the championship and 501. aside, came off yesterday
at Copenhagen House, liliogton, and attracted to the
grounds between 11,000 and 12;000 spectators. The pre-
sent match, which caused the greatest interest in sport-
ing circles, was made some time since in consequence
of a challenge from Levett, who had a short time before
had the championship wrested from him, in conse-
quence, as ho stated, of his being, on the day of the
last match, in a very bad state of health. The backers
of both men yesterday were, in consequence of
the good condition of the contending parties, very con-
fident of success, and a great deal of money was laid
out at 5
Nvh• to 4 on Jackson, but owing to the avidity
tell was shown in taking the odds, the betting
Changed to evens, neither having a decided call. Shortly
;tee the time appointed the men made their appear-
Ra-c:t at the toeing mark, and at once got off at
rc
BPcvd Jackson shortly after the start taking
the `eall by' a few yards. The race, owing to the
even runaing of 'the men, can be narrated in a few
wwberds. Jackson (the American Deer) kept the lead,
—dell the first obtained of about three or four yards,
and until within a couple of hundred yards from. home.
here Levett put on his final "spurt," caught his man,
and after tunninc, shoulder and shoulder together for a
short distance, p'assed him, and, amidst the deafening
cheers and hurrahs of the assembled thousands, ran in a
hood "inner by a yard and a half, thus obtaining for
Itself a second time the proud title of " the Champion
Runner of England." The time, as stated to us, was
for the 10 miles rather under the 52 minutes.

RENCONTRE ON LIVERPOOL
'CHANGE.—ShOrtIy
, says a after four o'clock on Saturdayaft
pondent, an occurrence took place, we Tiocr
corres-
able excitement among the merchants on 'created consider-
pool. Two gentlemen, both eminent metahange at Liver-
town, Mr. Senior and Mr, Daunt, while talkin brokers of the
of business, happened to disagree upon some gpaotsn matters
when a
few warm expressions were interchanged which resulted
one of the disputants applying to the other an epithet whi in
no English gentleman can patiently rest under. Theinch
salted party instantly retorted with a blow, and both gentle-
men were soon in a fighting position. They were immedi-
ately separated by several gentlemen who had witnessed the
fracas, and hurried off in different directions.

ROYAL GALLERY or ILLUSTRATlON.—Thethediorams
oartist
proprietors of this gallery have a(ided to
Wellington Campaigns two well-executed views, one ofmth.ne
exterior of Walmer Castle, and the other of the
aronoi
which the Duke breathed his last. At this moment
inte-
rest attaches to these views beyond that which they
WptTlsiens-s
SS works of art, and doubtless a pardonable curiosity
duce many persons to go and see them.
THE WELcH LANGUAGE.—The facetious London
correspondent of the Liverpool Albion says of printed Welsh,
that it is "an ophthalmaic-looking typography, which
must
have been originall
y intended for the goats, and it is a pity
thWas not confined to those hairy-faced bleaters exclusively;
ough, if it were, they would have been all suffocated long
go with spasms in the cesophagus !"
LIBERATION OF A CONVICT.—The convict, named
Thompson, who formerly belonged to the Royal Artillery,
and t
was under sentence of ransporttion for seven yers for
deserting and resisting his superiora officers, and whoa while
thundergoing the probationary period of his sentence on board
e Warrior hulk, at Woolwich, so courageously saved the
plves of three of the workmen of the factory who were over-
owered by the foul air when they went through the man-
ofs the boilers of the Widgeon steam-vessel, has re-
ceived a free pardon from the Secretary of State of the
)rao Department, and was liberated last week. The work-
aLulen in the factory made up a purse among themselves,
hi "nting to between 4/. and 5/., and it was presentectto
al previously to his leaving the dockyard.
PROCEEDINGS IN ERROR,—By the Common Law
Procedure Act writs of error a-e abolished. Error must he
brought within six years, instead of 20 years, as under the
old system.
By the offici:tl returns it appears that the sum to
be ap
ee plied to the reduction of the National Debt during the
nmouths ending the sth of January next is 436,3601.
_t.he _ last occasion the total then available was appro-
tllea.l„ Unto pay, off a portion of the deficiency bills held by
howk
.of .England. Judging from the revenue returns,
this'ver, it is assumed that there will be no deficiency bills
quarr, and that the whole amount will therefore be "ested in the redemption of 3 per cent. stock.
