DUBLIN , MONDAY EVENING.
In the Cuart of Queen's Bench, this afternoon, Mr.
Whiteide moved, on behalf of Mr. James Birch, the
proprietor of the World newspaper, for a conditional
order for a new trial, upon the ground that at the last
trial, which took place before the Lord Chief Justice and
a special jury, when the jury found for the defendant,
his Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, who was pro-
duced and examined us a witness for the plaintiff, was
not sworn, but merely pledged on his honour as a Peer
of the realm. After a brief discussion the Chief Jus-
tice said, we will grant the conditional order, but must
state it is not from any difficulty we entertain as to the
law, but to give the parties an opportunity of discussing
the question if they desire it.

CABINET COUNCIL THIS DAY.--The Minister as
sembled in Council to-day at twelve o'clock, at the
Foreign- office. There were present the Noble Premier
Lord John Russell (who came from Windsor Castle to
attend it), the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Car-
lisle, Earl Granville, Lord Seymour, Sir George Grey,
Lord Truro, Earl Minto, Earl Grey, the Right Hon. Sir
Charles Wood, Sir F. T. Baring, the Right Hon. Fox
Maule, and the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere. The
Ministers, we understand, are all to remain in town
until the meeting of Parliament, and the timid circular
r a
has just been dispatched to the Members who vote with
Government, stating that measures of
importance will
be brought forward soon after the meeting of Parliament
on the 3d of February.
CHEAT Os NIBUSES.—We understand it is contem-
plated by the spirited projectors of the cheap omnibuse_so,soto

of
whom the public are largely indebted for the means 1
motion at so low a figure, to run half a dozen omnibuses be-
tween the Fleet-street end of Farringdon-street andence the
Elephant and Castle, at a penny outside and twop

appreciated by a discerning pin its stead free trade as
This, indeed, would be a boon,
übliacnsdwwheouare desirous of break-
ing up monopolies, and introducing

MORMONISM.—The N e
Gazette contains a mass of disgusting details relative to the
proceedings of this sect at
t_rotrahe Salt
h. Lake. A correspondent
Utah says : —" The pluralist
of that paper, writing
wife system is in full vogue hero. Governor Young is said
M
to have 00 PA. lie drove along the streets a few days
ago with 16 of them in a long carriage, 14 of them having
each an
infant at her bosom. It is said Heber C. Kimball,
eoanceofthe Triune Council, and the second person in the Tri-
nity, has almost an equal number, and ameng them are a
mother and her two daughters. Each man can have as many
wives as he can maintain, that is, after the women have been
picked and culled by the head men. Whole pages might be
filled with the surprising and disgusting details of the state
of affairs here." It is a lamentable fact that, at the present
time, numbers of people are leaving Great Britain to join the
Mormons, notwithstanding the disclosures that are so con-
stantly being made.
CAPTURE OF A THIEF BY MEANS OF THE TELE -
EAPH.—On Wednesday morning the electric telegraph was
again employed, upon the Eastern Counties line in the capture
ot athief. Shortly after the departure ofthe mid-day up mail
train from Mark's Tey, intelligence was received that a
young man, earned Jefferies, apprentice to Mr. Wright,
draper, of Long Melford, had absconded with at., received
on behalf of master, and had taken a ticket for Chelmsford.
Accordingly, on the arrival of the train, the depredator was
handed over to the safe custody of an officer, and was by a
later train, taken back to Melford. —Essex .Standard.
We understand, upn the very best authority, that
Government, in the new Reform Bill they are about to in-
troduce, mean to combine Trowbridge, Bradford, and West-
bury (in Wiltshire), in one electoral district, hich shall
unitedly return two Members to Parliament. w —Gloucester
