YOUGHAL.

At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Roger Green Davis,
whose evidence was yesterday objected to, because he had subscribed to
the fund for supporting the petition, (the objection being overruled by
the Committee), was examined to prove that the rent of the public-
house for which Robert Davis was registered, was paid to him by the
latter, although it had been proved on the other side that Mrs. Pl°
occupied the house, paid the licence, and bad her name over the door.
The vote was disallowed, whereby the sitting Member was again in a
majority of one.
It then became the turn of the petitioner to object, and the vote of
James Conway was objected to, on the ground of insufficient value of
holding. For the objection it was stated that a part of the premises for
which the voter was registered was since let off to another person, and
that the part which Conway continued to occupy was under the value
of 101. a-year. But the new occupier of the pottion parted with by
Conway paid the rent to the latter.

at the Germain aux Pres. Harding's Sketches at Home and
Abroad, and History of the London Churches, were all"
nounced by the Secretary. Various business having been
trarsacted, Mr. George Godwin, jun., read a paper on the
ruins of St. Bavon's abbey, at Ghent, which approximate Yell
closely in style to the buildings erected in England during
the Saxon and early-Norman eras, and served to show in
Mr. Godwin's opinion, that the style which every where
preceded the " pointed style," of architecture, vulgarly called
Gothic, had its origin in Byzantium, afterwards Constanti-
nople. The paper was illustrated by many very interesting
sketches, and excited some interest. A Lecture on Iron was
then delivered by Mr. A. H. Renton, the first of a aeries
which promises to be of value.

be fined by Mr. Traill, for cruelty to their horses. The last,
offender pleaded that he had only used the lash of the Trb'P'

flicted with the lash of the whip as with the butt-end, and "-
committed him for 14 days to prison.

Such was the bitterness with which the disputes
between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines were carried

sustains the small double arches, constituting the Gothic wilr.
dows of the old houses ; while the same arches, without tlita
centrical support denote the dwellings of the Ghibellines.
