ST. HILARY'S DAY, JAN. 14.—The festival of
St. Hilary stands in the Romish Church, and in Randle
Homes's Heraldry, on this day. Butler says he was born
at Poictiers, became Bishop of that city, was a commen-
tator on Scripture, an orator, a poet, wrote against the
Arians, was banished for his orthodoxy, but returned to his
See, worked miracles,' and died on the 14th of January,
368. The " Golden Legend" says that St. Hilary ob-
tained his wife's death by prayers, and that Pope Leo, who
was an Arian, said to him, " Thou art Hilary the cock,
and not the son of a hen ;" whereat Hilary said, " I am no
cock, but a Bishop in France ;" " Then," said the Pope,
" thou art Hilary gallus (signifying a cock), and I am
Leo, Judge of the Papal Sec ;" whereupon Hilary replied,
" If thou be Leo, thou art not (a lion) of the tribe of
Judah." After this railing, the Pope died, and Hilary
was comforted.

Influenza is very prevalent. From all quarters of
Scotland, the accounts agree that one or more inmates in
every third family have been attacked by this epidemic.

Paris. This circumstance is most extraordinary at this
season of the year.

BLUNDER.—In the reign of James 1., an Act was
passed to prevent the further growth of Popery, which, by
the mistake of the printer ran thus—" An Act to prevent
the further growth of poetry."

LIMERICK EXPLOSION.--The inquest on the bodies of
the unfortunate people destroyed by the late explosion in
Limerick had not terminated when the last accounts left.
Three several adjournments had taken place. The testi-
mony of Richardson, the man in whose house the mischief
had its origin, was exceeding reluctant. Gunpowder would
seem to have been smuggled into his concern to an enormous
extent ; and a strange neglect seems to have marked his
dealings in the dangerous article. One witness, who was
expected to be able to give important testimony in refe-
rence to the matter, was still so ill in the hospital as to ren-
der it unsafe to question him.
APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. Henry Villiers Stuart has been
appointed a Privy Councillor of Ireland. Henry Gould,
Esq., and John Reynolds Peyton, Esq., have been appointed
Deputy Lieutenants, the former of Cork, the latter of
Leitrim. _ _

The Master of the Rolls was taken suddenly ill upon
the bench on Tuesday. The Surgeon-General was imme-
diately called in, and the attack is said to be of an alarm
ing nature.
The clergy of the diocese of Limerick have published a
strong protest against the Irish system of education.
TRANQUILLITY OF THE COUNTRY..--0a opening the
Wexford Quarter Sessions, on Monday, the Assistant-bar-
rister, Mr. Baldwin, congratulated the Grand Jury on " the
unprecedented light state of the calendar." His Worship
added, that " this absence of crime loudly bespeaks the
high moral character of the district." Nevertheless, the
Orange papers in Wexford are continually bleating about
the disturbed state of that county.
