DEATH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIMATE

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—The Most Rev. Dr. Crolly, the
Roman Catholic Primate, expired yesterday, in Drog-
heda, after an attaek of cholera of nine hour duration.
The deceased prelate was highly esteemed by men of all
countrymen,fr Christian

Crollyfellow
was a warm supporter of the national system of educa-
tion, and, indeed, of every measure which tended to the
progress of enlightment. He was one of the Commis-
sioners of Charitable Bequests, and in accepting that
office, in conjunction with Drs. Murray and Denvir, in-
curred a large share of odium, from which, however, he
never shrank, notwithstanding that the opposition against
him was led by the late Mr. O'Connell in person. As
soon as the announcement of his death was made public
the shop inDrogheda were nearly all closed, and the ship-
ping in the river had their flags raised half-mast high.
He was about seventy years of age, but from active
habits and strong constitution looked to be much less
advanced in age.
OPENING OF THE COMMISSION.
The commission was opened this day before Mr. Jus-
tice Jackson and Mr. Justice Moore. The former
learned Judge, in the course of his charge to the grand
Jury, very briefly referred to the case of Mr. Duffy,
merely stating that as the bills had been already found
they had nothing whatever to do in the matter. No day
has been fixed for the trial, but it is generally believed
that it will not commence before Tuesday morning. Mr.
Duffy's health has been materially benefited by his
transference from the gaol of Kilmainham to the
Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Corry Connellan, private se-
cretary of Lord Clarendon, has been served with a sub-
poena to attend the court on Tuesday next.
Lord Clarendon is not expected to arrive in Dublin
until the week after next. The amended report (as pub-
lished in The Sun of Friday) of his Excellency's inter-
view with the deputation on the part of Mr.
Duffy has cleared away a cloud of misapprehension,
which, naturally enough, arose out of the
account furnished to the Dublin papers. It certainly
would be well if, upon such occasions as the one in ques-
tion, gentlemen would take care to avail themselves of
the services of a short-hand writer, who would be re-
sponsible for the accuracy of official conversations.
Secondhand information, always of little value, is fre-
quently a source of inconceivable mischief.
THE WRITS OF ERROR—THE QUEEN v. SMITH

O'BRIEN AND OTHERS.
About the 10th of May William Smith O'Brien, J. B.
M'Manus, and Patrick O'Donohue, convicted of high
treason at Clonmel, will be removed to London, for
the purpose of having the writs of error, taken on their
behalf, argued before the House of Lords. No doubt an
earlier day w ould.have been selected, but there has been an
unwillingness to fix any time for the purpose during the
ensuing Easter term, because such an arrangement would
necessarily withdraw the English Judges from the busi-
ness of their respective courts. An early day in the
short vacation, between Easter and Trinity term, will be
named for hearing the cases.

The metallic reserve at last shows a diminution, though
not a great one, the decline being somewhat less than
half a million, the Paris Bank giving about 800,000 f.
less, and the country establishments upwards of 300,000 f.
more. The discount accommodation has fallen off about
300,000 f.; the amount of bills protested at Paris is
330,000 f. less, and the branch establishments 38,000 f. less.
The overdue bills have increased 80,0001. On the side
of the liabilities, the amount of notes in circulation has
increased about 4i millions, three millions in Paris and
le in the country. The account-current of the Trea-
sury has fallen off 13i millions, the whole sum now
being 28,318,100 f. The amount of the metallic reserve
is at present 3321 millions to 437 millions of notes in
circulation.

The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and family

EASTER HOLIDATS.—In consequence of the fitful
state of the weather yesterday, the number of persons
who visited Greenwich was comparatively few. Scarcely
any addition to the population of this pleasant suburban
resort was made up to three o'clock in the afternoon, but
afterwards some few arrived; still the numbers were but
small indeed, as compared with former Easter Sunds.
The stall-keepers appeared quite dejected; the park was
almost deserted, and the houses of public resort were
very thinly attended. In the fair there is a superior col-
lection of shows, and the amusements promised appear
to be abundant.
We understand that Sir John Dodson, the Queen's
Advocate-General, will receive the appointment of Vicar-
General, vacant by the death of Dr. Burnalls
