LORD STANLEY.—The Limerick Chronicle says .
"Monday night Lord Stanley left Ballykisteen, near
Tipperary, for Knowsley-park. His lordship expressed
himself much pleased with the Ballykisteen estate, and
also with the happy condition of the tenantry of his
noble father, the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby. His
lordship's affability towards all with whom he had any
intercourse during his short stay, has gained for him
very many admirers, especially among the humbler
classes, with whom he is quite a favourite."

ENTHRONISATION OF THE LORD BISHOP OP KM.
MORE.—Last Sunday the Lord Bishop of Kilmore was
duly enthroned in Cavan Church, pursuant to a com-
mission from the Lord Primate, directed to the Rev. J.
C. Martin, D.D., rector of Killeshandra, who preached
on the occasion from the text, Hebrews v. 4—" And no
man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is
called of God, as was Aaron."
RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT ABERDEEN.—The driver,
Adam Brown, has been committed for trial for culpable
and reckless driving. The injured parties are recovering.
THE ORATORIANS.—SeveraI of the fathers from the
Oratory in Brompton, including Father Faber, have for
some time past migrated to the hop-picking parts of
Kent, where they have been performing Divine service
according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church,
in large tents, for the benefit of the large numbers of
Irish, and other poor Catholic labourers employed in the
hop districts.
THE CHOLERA.—The Freeman's Journal states that
for some days cholera has been making steady advances
in Dublin, and adds—" Creeping through the lanes and
alleys, it has advanced into the streets, and the hospital
returns show such a rapid increase during the past few
days as forbids us to hope for a subsidence of the disease
before the wonted course shall have been more or less
completely run."
ENGLAND AND AMERICA.—The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Courier and Inquirer says—" The
entente cordiale between Great Britain and the United
States was never so complete as now. Antipathy to
England has become a sentiment so faint and intangible,
that it no longer affords a fulcrum for the cunning of
demagogues. The contempt which the Greytown out-
rage excites among our people was not at all mitigated
by the assurance of the official organ that it was an act
perpetrated with the view of expressing contempt and
defiance towards Great Britain."
NEWS OF THE VICTORY OF THE ALMA AT HAMBURG.
The sensation created upon the Stock Exchange at
Hamburg, on the receipt of the intelligence announcing
the victory of the allies over the Russians on the heights
of the Alma, was very great. It amounted to perfect •
enthusiasm. Every person, indeed, rejoiced at the re-
sult, and it was at once determined to raise a subsorip e
tion for the assistance of the widows and orphans of the
gallant soldiers who had fallen, and for relief of the
wounded. The proceeds of this subscription, which will
be liberal, are to be forwarded to this country.
THE FIRE AT MEMEL.—According to the Ost-
Zeitung, not only the insurance companies at Gotha
and Trieste, but also several at London, are concerned
in the losses sustained by the fire at Memel. The pro-
portionate amount is not yet exactly known that each of
these will have to pay, after deducting the sums which
these houses had themselves reinsured with others.
Thus, in the National Insurance Company, they have
paid premium on 180,000 rix dollars ; the Aix-la-Chapelle
and Munich is down for 56,000, the Magdeburg for
104,000, the Silesia for 1,000,000, the Colonia for
83,000, the Berlin for 70,000, the Elberfeld for 200,000,
the Borussia for 15,000, and the Leipsic fire-office for
20,000 rix dollars.—Prussian Gazette.
SHOCKING CASE OF CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday
morning one of those unfortunately too frequent cases
of child murder was discovered in the neighbourhood of
the Borough, being accompanied by circumstances of
unusual horror, the body being fearfully mutilated by
vermin. About half-past five o'clock police constable
Patrick Kelly, 70 M, while on duty in Ewer-street,
observed something lying in a corner of a court, leading
out of Ewer-street. Upon going to the spot the con-
stable found what at first appeared to him a bundle of
clothes, but on examination he discovered itto he the body
of a child, wrapped in a sheet. The body was conveyed
to Christ Church workhouse, and it presented a most
sickening appearance, the whole of the bowels being
evidently eaten away by rats or other vermin. The
place in which the body was found is of a most frightful
description ; about six months since another infant was
discovered murdered in precisely the same spot, and
under similar circumstances. Information has been for-
warded to W. Carter, Esq., the coroner for East Surrey,
and Mr. Doubleday, the surgeon of Christ Church work-
house, will make a
post-mortem examination of the
body.

Two HOUSES SWEPT AWAY.—In the village of
Bishopmill, Morayshire, two houses adjoining a mill-
lade, having been undermined by the stream, were en-
tirely swept away at an early hour on Tuesday morning,
the younger inmates, especially one or two infants, hav-
ing a narrow escape.
EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.--Yesterday the conclusion
of the Missionary Conference terminated the sessions of
the Evangelical Alliance.

delive-ed an able and interesting lecture "On American
Slavery and England's duty in respect to it," at Spa-
fields Chapel. The audience was remarkably numerous,
and the chair was occupied by the Rev. T. E. Thoresby,
the respected pastor of the church assembling in that
place.
