IRELAND.
LORD EGLINTOUN IN THE WEST.
DUBLIN, THURSDAY.—At 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the Lord-Lieutenant, the Countess of Eg-
lintoun and suite, left the terminus of the Midland
Railway at BrOadstone by special train for Galway,
for the purpose of visiting the great cattle show. The
journey from end to end was accomplished in or
about four hours, the train reaching the Galway
terminus shortly after 2 o'clock. The VicereAal party
was received on the platform by a large con-
course of the gentry of the town and county,
who ,loudly cheered them. His Lordship then pro-
ceeded to the house of Mr. Arthur Ireland, at the en-
trance to the termidus, escorted by a troop of the 3d
Dragoon Guards, and accompanied by the local
committee of the cattle show and some of the rail-
way directors. There was a large number of the
townspeople collected in front of the hotel. Having
taken half an hour's rest, his Excellency notified his
intention of receiving the addresses which it was in-
tended to present to him. The first was from the
citizens of Galway, which was succeeded by those of
the town commissioners, the members of 'the Galway
Institution, the cattle show committee, and of the
county at large, to each of which his Excellency re-
turned a suitable reply. The Queen's College will
be visited this day, when an address from the heads
of that excellent institution will be presented. At
half-past three o'clock their Excellencies proceeded to
visit the show•yard. On appearing in the street a
cheer similar to that at their arrival was raised.
Their ExcellenCies were accompanied in their visit
round the yard by the Duke of Leinster, Lord Clan-
carty, the High Sheriff of the county, Mr. T. A.
Joyce, and several other noblemen and gentlemen.
Their Excellencies returned to their residence at five
o'clock.

The Coroner then issued his warrant for the arrest of
the persons implicated in the verdict; and it was en-
trusted for execution to Sub-Inspector Donovan and
a party of constabulary, by whom the eight soldiers
were conducted to Ennis gaol. Mr. Delmege was
not present in the court.
SALE OF TUE MIDLETON ESTATES.
Pursuant to the order of the trustees under an Act
of Parliament, 14th of Victoria, sear. 1850, Mr. Fare-
brother, of the firm of Farebrother, Clark, and Lye,
6, Lancaster-place, Strand, London, put up for sale at
one o'clock on Taesday,in the large room of the Im-
perial-Hotel, Clerk, part of -the estates of the—late
GeOrge Alan, Viscount Midleton. The sale has been
the largest that has taken place in Cork since the in-
stitution of the Encumbered Estates Court, and the
deep interest which was taken in. it might be easily
seen from the numbers of' professi.onal gentlemen, in-
tending purchasers, and •others, in attendance. The
property is situate, tne greater portion in the county
of Cork, and the residue in the county of Waterford,
_and it was sold, as stated above, by order of the trus-
tees in whom the property has been vested since the
death of Lord Midleton. The conditions of sale,
which were exceedingly voluminous, numbered twelve,
and their stringency and complexity were the subject
of comment among all present. Mr. Farebrother, who
Presided as auctioneer, stated, however, that the con-
ditions had been drawn up by counsel, and that
it was to be presumed that nothing was introduced
into them but what was necessary and just to both
parties—to then ndor and the purchaser. Tile pre.
Sent sale did
.t, of cours.e, comprise the settled
estates of the Mulleton family, but ground or head
rents to the amount of 1,8551. a-year, payable out of
the town of Midleton, and several detached residences,
and numerous lots of accommodation and building
land, and several farms, containing in the whole about
945 acres, situate in that neighbourhood; and other
estates situate in the counties of Cork and Waterford.
The Midleton property comprising the head rents,
were first put up for sale, and after a sharp competi-
tion Lord Midleton was declared the purchaser for
35,0001. The county of Waterford estates, compri-
sing nearly 1,464 acres of arable, meadow, and pas-
ture land, and let at rents equal to 8321.135. ld., were
next put up. They are subject to 311. Bs. 2d. head
rent, of which 191. ss. is payable to the Duke of
Devonshire, and the remainder to the vicar of Kilro.
nen. Lord Stradbroke was declared the purchaser,
after a brief contest, at 13,0001. The next property
put up comprised the fee simple estate (demesne) of
Waterfall, which produced 8,5501."
The Cork Examiner observes :
"This terminated the sale, which it was supposed
would have lasted, sad certainly would have done so,
had the Midleton property been put up in lots, as it
would have been, had it not been bought by one pur-
chaser, for three days, and, if it did not realize more,
the fault is certainly not attributable to Mr. Farebro-
ther, who was as persuasive and seductive as man could
be. The prices realized, however, were on the whole
considered good, though we heard some gentlemen sa3
that the Midleton property was worth 45,0001. As to
the mode in which the sale was conducted nothing could
be fairer, as, at the outset, Mr. Farebrother announced
that it would be what is known as an open sale,' and
that neither the trustee, who was present, nor any on,
on that behalf, would bid, and that therefore every bid-
ding would be bond fide. The total sum realized
amounted to 57,3501."

MURDER of a CHILD, and ATTEMPTED
MURDER of TWO WOMEN.
SHEFFIELD, THURSDAY.—Sheffield is again the
scene of one of those horrifying murders which startle
a whole country. An illigitimate child, nearly two
years old, has bad its head cut off by its father, who
also attempted to murder its mother and another
young woman. The murderer's name is Alfred
Waddington, a grinder, residing in Lord-street, Park,
Sheffield. He is about twenty years of age, the as-
sociate of notoriously bad characters, and he has him-
self been tried for highway robbery. The murdered
child was called Elizabeth Slater, the daughter of
Sarah Slater, of Brown-street, Park, and was about a
year and nine months old. On Monday the mother
took out a summons (which was to have been heard
to-day) against Waddington for neglecting, to main-
tain the child. He saw her in the street on Wed-
nesday, and he swore he would never pay another
farthing towards the child. On Wednesday evening
it was left in the care of a little girl named
Barlow, while the mother went to attend the
females' evening class at the Mechanics' Institu-
tion. About half-past eight Waddington appeared at
the door of the class-room, and called out, " Sarah
Slater, you're wanted." She went to him, and he
asked, " What have you done with the child ?" She
told him, and he then said, " You must go with me ;
it has fallen off a wall, and has broken its neck." She
immediately ran out of the room with him. On ar-
riving in Sylvester-lane he said she need not trouble
herself, for he had murdered the child. He pulled
out a large clasp-knife, and he said, " Here's some of
its blood." He then fiercely attacked her, and at-
tempted to cut her throat. She guarded her neck
with her hands, which were shockingly lacerated;
and a little boy, who saw the struggle, called out,
" Murder." Waddington then ran up Earle-street,
and the poor woman was taken home. He was shortly
'afterwards met by a young woman named Sarah
Dobson, who resides in Duke-lane, Sheffield-moor, a
companion of the young woman Slater. Having heard
rumours of the murder, and the attack upon Slater,
the young woman asked him what he had done with
her and his child. He at once,without answering the in-
terrogatory, fiercely attacked her with his knife, and
wounded her severely about the face. Her violent screams
caused him to run away. About two o'clock this
morning, however, he gave himself up to a night
watchman, and at the Town-hall he described the
exact place where the murdered child might be
found. He said be took it from the little girl, Bar-
low, carried it into Cutler's Wood, Heeley, near Shef-
field, and there cut its head off. At daylight this
morning two policemen went to the place mentioned
and there found the body of the child. Its head was
lying several feet from its body,
The prisoner was brought up at the Town-hall to-
day at noon.
Mr. Raynor, chief constable, having stated the
charge, said the case would be fully investigated by
the coroner.
The Mayor (to the prisoner)—ls it your wish to
go before the coroner's inquest, or would you rather
not go ?
The prisoner said he would go before the coroner.
The prisoner, who was in his shirt-sleeves, on being
placed in the dock, looked round on the spectators
with great unconcern. When Mr. Raynor mentioned
the charge, his firmness for a moment forsook
and he covered his face with his hands.

BRITISH ARCHEOLOGICAL
ASSOCIATION.
NEWARK, WEDNESDAY.—As early as 8 o'clock
yesterday morning a large party of the members of
the Archaeological Association and their friends as-
sembled at the railway station, and proceeded by
special train to Thurgarton, a village about seven
miles from this town, to breakfast at Thurgarton
Priory, the seat of Mr. Richard Mil ward. Upwards
of 90 ladies and gentlemen availed themselves of the
invitation, and the visitors on their arrival at the
mansion, which is erected on the site of the ancient
priory of Thurgarton, were received with the greatest
courtesy by the host and his wife, and their appetites
having been somewhat sharpened by early rising, and
by a country walk from the railway station to the
hall, they evinced in the most practical manner their
appreciation of the ample repast which was provided.
The mansion, although called the " Priory, is en-
tirely a modern building, in the most plain and un-
pretending style of house architecture, but is erected
on the site of the ancient priory of Thurgarton,
founded in the reign of Edward I.—a conventual
establishment which was formerly of considerable
size and importance. Few remains now
exist
. of the old priory, but a fine crypt,
which extends below a eat portion of the
mansion, and which is partially used as a wine-cellar,
was exhibited to the visitors.lt is in excellent pre-
servation, and contains some springing arches of
great span. Several antiquarian relics, which had
been discovered in the neighbourhood, including a
large piece of lead, cast

On the motion of Sit'-O. Mosley, avottehe of thanks was

back
given to Mr. and Mrs. Milward'
for
to
entertainment, and the visitors then walked
the station and resumed their places in thespecial
train, which, in accordance with the previous arrange-
ments, proceeded to Nottingham.
The train arrived at Nottingham about 11 o'clock,
when the members of the association at once repaired
to the Exchange-rooms, where they were received by
Mr. W. Felkin, the mayor. The ancient charters and
muniments of the borough, dating from about the
year 1,300, along with a number of Roman and other
antiquities, which have at various periods been disco-
vered in the town and neighbourhood, were submitted
to the inspection of the visitors.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE, who met the associa-
tion at Nottingham, took the chair, and observed that
they were allowed the use of the Exchange-rooms by
the kindness of the Mayor and corporation of Not-
tingham, to whom they were greatly obliged. Those
whom he was addressing were no doubt aware—
though they would scarcely arrive at the conclusion
from the present aspect of the town—that Notting-
ham was a place of very great antiquity. The Mayor,
he believed, could date the genealogy—and not of his
family, but of his office—to a period of about 560
years back. During that time the town had had the
advantage of corporate governments, and the honour
of returning two burgesses to Parliament. For 400
years Nottingham had been a county of itself, having
been made a county of a town by Henry VI. But,
although those whom he was addressing were arch-
ecologists, and lovers of antiquity, he was sure they
would be ready to congratulate the Mayor and the
inhabitants of Nottingham on the extensive improve-
ments which were now in progress in the borough.—
(Hear, hear.) He was sure they would all rejoice at
the present thriving condition of the town.—(Hear,
hear.) If they had leisure to perambulate the town
with the _Mayor and corporation, and to mark those
great improvements which gave it new social features,
he thought they would almost fear that archoeology
itself would become modernised.—(Laughter.) Al-
though the time they could spend in Nottingham was
'short, he was sure they would derive great satisfac-
tion from the few antiquarian objects of interest which
vet remained, and which showed what the town had
been in former times.
The MAYOR, in responding to the Noble Duke's
remarks, expressed his regret that, from the shortness
of the notice which had been given them, the corpo
ration should have received the society in so very
plain and informal a manner. Many of his friends in
that town felt deeply interested in those inquiries
which elucidated the history, the manners, and the
arts of past ages. He thought it was both interesting
and instructive to contrast the past and the present
with regard to the physical and social condition of the
inhabitants of this country, for such contrasts showed
the great progress and improvement which had been
made of late years.—(Hear, bear.) He was glad
to say that he bad been called upon to take part
in arrangements for gathering together the an-
tiquaries of that town and neighbourhood ; and he
hoped that at the next meeting of the Arcbteological
Association a deputation might be present from Not-
tingham.
Mr. PLANCIIE then read an interesting and amus-
ing paper, displaying great antiquarian research,: on
" the family of the Peverels of Nottingham.
The party afterwards proceeded to anadjoining
room, where wine and other refreshments
were
pro-
vided, and where the Mayor drank to the Duke of
Newcastle and the members of the
parsereniatteidontointhea

several similar excavations in, or rather under the
town, though this is the largest of them, hut antiqua-
ries have not ascertained with any certainty for what
purpose they were made.
The party next proceeded to St. Mary's Church, a
large and venerable cruciform edifice, but time did
not permit them to make more than a very cursory
examination of the building. A small stone sculpture
supposed to represent a pope, assisted by two cardi-
nals, consecrating a bishop, and which was discovered
below the flooring of the church during the progress
of some repairs which were made a few years ago,
excited considerable attention.
The party then visited the site of the old castle, to
which they were accompanied by the Duke of New-
castle, who pointed out the various objects‘

prospect of the country is obtained, The fine man-
sion, which was formerly the residence of the Dukes
of Newcastle, and which was erected on the site of

of the council. The numerous and minute descrip-
tions of the Abbey, which, besides those given by
Byron himself, and its association with the great poet,
have been elicited from able and eloquent writers,
render any account of the building here wholly unne-
cessary.
Shortly after five o'clock the visitors assembled in
the drawing-room, when the paper was read by
r
Mr. T. J. PETTIGREW, F.R.S., Newstead
' Abbey. The Abbey, ho said, was or of thirteen
priories which existed in the county of Notts at the
time cf the dissolution of monasteries, end was a
priory of Black Canons Reetuier, dedicated to G-d,
and the Virgin Mary. Its foundatiora by Henry 11.
dated about 1170, and the priory was surrendered
July 1, 1539- Henry VIII., by letters patent, dated
May 28, 1541, granted Newstead Abbey, with a
large estate in the neighbourhood, to Sir John
, Byron, Knight, and his heirs. After some remark

72' r ' l+r -jam IG. c.f'-

on the origin and effects of monastic institutions,
and communicating to the meeting some curious and
interesting antiquarian information, derived from
ancient records, with regard to the Abbey of New-
stead, Mr. Pettigrew proceeded to dsscribe the old
portions of the Abbey which still exist, and have been
incorporated with the modern mansion. The great
hall, he observed, was a flue specimen of antique
style, and was formerly the refectory. The present
drawing-room was formerly the dormitory of the
monks ; the cloisters presented a most venerable
appearance, and resembled those of Westminster
Abbey, though upon a smaller scale. The Abbey was
besieged in the reign of Charles 1., by the Parliamen-
tary forces, and held out for some time. Mr. Pettigrew,
after stating that the family of the Byrons was to be
traced from Ralph de Burun, mentioned in Domes-
day as living in the latter part of the reign of Wil-
liam the Conqueror, proceeded to give some historical
details of the family, and then observed that, although
many of its members had been distinguished in the
military service of the country, it was to George, Lord
Byron, of our own time, that the renown of the family
would in after ages be chiefly attributed. With New-
stead the late Lord Byron was indissolubly associated,
and it was impossible for them, assembled as they were
under the roof and within the walls of that abode in
which much of his imperishable writings was com-
posed, without experiencing mingled emotions arising
from admiration of his works and regret at the early
decease of such unrivalled powers. Mr. Pettigrew
then referred to the attachment always evinced by
Lord Byron for this beautiful residence, and to the
pain with which be was compelled to consent to its
sale in 1812. It was not, however, till 1817 that a
sale was effected, and the Abbey then most fortu-
nately fell into the hands of its present worthy pos-
sessor, Colonel Wildman, who, in the restorations
he had effected, had not gone one inch beyond the
original ground plan, the walls now standing exactly
upon the old. foundation.— (Hear, bear.) Lord Byron
and Colonel
Wildman, it might be remarked were to-
gether at Harrow School, and on becoming the pur-
chaser of Newatead the gallant coloeel received a
letter from the Noble Lord expressing his satisfaction
that the mansion bad fallen into the bands of his old
schoolfellow and monitor. Mr. Pettigrew concluded
by observing that all lovers of archaeology must rejoice
that a place so romantic in its character, associated
with so many interesting circumstances, and so
closely connected with the history of the
_greatest of
the modern poets of England, should have fallen into
the possession of a gentleman who had exhibited so
true a sense of its value, and who had religiously
preserved every memorial in his power connected with
Lord Byron.—(Cheers.)
An adjournment then took place to the dining-hall,
a noble apartment formed by Colonel Wildman out of
the ancient refectory of the Abbey, where an excel-

at Worksop the party at once proceeded to the Ab-
bey Church, where they were met by the Duke of
Newcastle, who bad left Newark for Clumber on the
previous evening, in order to make the necessary ar-
rangements for the reception of his guests. The
Abbey gateway, a fine specimen of Gothic architee
ture, but which is rapidly falling into a state of di-
lapidation, excited much attention from the savans.
It contains a very handsome traceried win-
dow, and several ornamental niches, with figures
of the Virgin and Saints. The church, which
formed a portion of the old Abbey Church, is
a good specimen of late Norman architecture. It
has two towers, and consists of a nave and two aisles,
about 130 feet long. The chancel and the centre
tower have long since disappeared. The church has
recently been restored, both internally and externally,
at considerable expense, but a portion of the ruins of
St. Mary's Chapel, immediately adjoining, and con-
taining some beautiful lancet windows, which are
perhaps the most perfect to be seen in England, re-
mains in a tolerably good state of preservation. Many
of the members of the association expressed a hope
that measures would be taken to prevent, as far as
possible, this fine specimen of ancient architecture
trom falling further into decay, or from being de-
stroyed by the ruthless hand of modern improvement.
The Duke of Newcastle, and the vicar, the Rev. Mr.
Appleton, promised that steps should be taken to
effect this object. A similar hope was expressed with
regard to some remains of the Abbey on the north
side of the church, including two beautiful Norman
arches, but it appeared that contemplated alterations
would render it difficult, if not impossible, to pre-
serve them.
Soon after one o'clock the party left Worksop for
Clumber-house, which is about four miles distant
but was found no easy matter, in a small country
town, to provide for the conveyance of so many per-
sons, and vehicles of every description, from the
smart " clarence to the lumbering farm-waggon,
were put into requisition for the purpose. The last
of the party, however, reached Clumber by two
o'clock, and the Duke of Newcastle, who had pre-
ceded his visitors, received them in the library as
they arrived.
The mansion is a plain edifice, of white freestone,
and was erected towards the close of the last cen-
tury. The front façade possesses no pretensions to
architectural beauty or elegance, and its uniformity
has been entirely destroyed by the addition of a
small wing, which contains the chapel, and which
does not correspond with the rest of the building.
The interior, however, combines magnificence and
comfort in the highest degree. The rooms, especially
the library, the drawing-room, and the state dining-
room, are well proportioned, and most superbly fur-
nished, and contain numerous valuable paintings
and family pictures by the first masters, besides
many articles of vertu. The situation of the
house is most beautiful. It lies in the bosom of *

Mr. PETTIGREW read a paper, written by Mr.

burial-places discovered in the county of Notting-

been opened in various parts of the county, and the
arms, ornaments, and other articles which bad been
found in them. Re also stated not long ago 15 or 16.
