DUBLIN, JULY 23.
The farce of challenging the arraign, which was played oft-at Monaghan
Assizes last term, on the pretence that Lord Mu!grave was not entitled
to step out of the Judges' list to select a sheriff, has been repeated at the
King's County Assizes, within the present week. Judge Johnson, who
presided, however overruled the objection, but consented to receive the
demurrer. This price of silliness will terminate like the other, in a
flash in the pan.

ORANGE OUTRAGES.—More dclai:s of crime continue to arrive from
the North.

THE ASSIZES.—The reports from the Circuits continue to be most
favourable. Tralee has proved maiden ; and in Kilkenny, and some
other counties and cities there has been very little to do Even the Tory
journals, who are ingenious at creating a pretence for disbelieving the
evidence of their senses, scarcely pretend to doubt or question the im-
provement in the state of the country.

LIBEL CASE.—At the Sligo Assizes, on Thursday last, 500/. damages
were awarded to a gentleman named M`Donnell, against a Mr. Dowda,
who had libelled him in a now defunct publication, called the Dublin
Satirist, which for a considerable time infested our city, and lived by
feeding public curiosity and malignity, upon personalities of tliecoarsest
character.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— A dreadful accident took place yesterday
upon the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, by a collision between two
trains. No death I believe has yet ensued, but there have been innu-
merable accidents. One gentleman was so dangerously wounded in the
head that his life can scarcely be preserved; and another had his leg
shattered in a terrible manner. The deplorable event occurred through
the escape or one of the trains off the rails.

James Redmond Barry, Esq., a magistrate for Cork, was arrested in
that city on Thursday last, for tithes due by his tenants. After remain-
ing a short time in custody the amount was paid.

A letter appears in the Southern Reporter, received to-day, which
Lears out Mr. Roche's statement with respect to the barrier at widow
Ryan's farm, and indeed in every particular touching the Rath-
cormac affair. That it was a murder, who will have the temerity to
deny ?

CORPORATION BILL (lacuorn).—The Dublin Evening Post of
Tuesday protests against the " Orange Bill" now before. Parliament,
observing that however willing and anxious it was to take almost any
instalment, in the hope that, new blood having been introduced into the
Corporations, the system would at length be worked into a wholesome
and healthy action ; " yet (declares our Contemporary) we have come
to this conclusion, that we should prefer, by far, the rejection of the
three measures (the Poor-law Bill, the Tithe Bill, and the Municipal
Corporation Bill), rather than the enactment of the Irish Municipal Bill
as it has come from the hands of Lord Lyndhurst." The Post concludes
its protest, which extends to a considerable length, in the following
terms :—" It is needless to remind the public that we have been all along
enemies to unnecessary agitation—to agitation for agitation's sake.
But, it would be criminal—it could be base—not to agitaje now. We,
therefore, call upon our fellow-citizens to meet, and to meet immedi-
ately. There is no time to be lost—not a moment. The rooms of
the Corn. Exchange must ring once more with the public voice.
No Bill since the Lords insulted us—no Tithe Bill—no Poor-
law Bill—no Corporation Bill. The Duke of Wellington de-
scribed these three Bills as the parts of one great measure•
Be it so. We shall not accept the measure but in its inte-
grity. Without a good Corporation Bill—a fair and a just mea-
sure—and even a generous one to the out going petty functionaries
—we shall not have the Poor-law Bill. We can assure Lord Lynd-
burst, and the malignants, that it would be very easy to raise an oppo-
sition to the Poor.law scheme which would reverberate through the
island from side to side. Even as it is, it will be difficult to put it in
operation. With a national shout of execration against any part of
the measure, we defy all the powers of Toryism to force it on the peo-
ple. With regard to the Tithe Bill—give the Church the million, but
the tithe war will continue notwithstanding. You destroy your chance
of earring out it quietly by this Municipal Bill. Lord Howick is right,
and his I,rophecy will be more speedily fulfilled than even his Lordship .•
anticipates. The three Bills in their honest integrity, or none."
