BENEFICES IN PLURALITY.—On the motion of
Mr. Frewen, a return has recently been made to the
House of Commons of the fees paid to the Faculty's-
office, Doctors' Commons, for dispensations to hold be-
nefices in plurality since the passing of the Pluralities
Act. From this document it appears that the amount of
all the fees paid into this office for dispensations to cler-
gymen (the number being 595) to hold benefices in
plurality, since the passing of the Act above-named in
1838, was 9521., the charge for each dispensation being
Id. 12s. The fees paid previously to the passing of the
Act amounted (when the dispensation was for one dio-
cese) to 61. 18s., and when for two separate dioceses to
91. 18s. At that time the Archbishop of Canterbury re-
ceived a fee for, each dispensation of 21. 3s. 4d., which is
not now paid.
TUB MURDERS IN LEYESON•STREET.—The interest
connected with this horrid affair is being revived as the
time approaches for the trial of Wilson, the person
charged with the murder. His conduct in Kirkdale, in
regard to compliance with discipline, is said to be all that
could be required. It was at first thought, from his
having sent for the depositions to the coroner, that he
meant to defend himself, and such was, in fact, his in-
tention. A mysterious friend has sprung up, however,
in Scotland, and it is stated that plentiful funds will be
forthcoming to engage first-rate counsel for his defence.
Who the party moving in the matter may be we are
unable as yet to state, but a respectable solicitor in this
town has been instructed in the matter. His immediate
instructions are from an agent in London, and he is
unable to form any idea of their ultimate source. The
arrival of Captain Henrichson is, we believe, daily ex-
pected.—Liverpool Mercury.
DESTITUTION IN HARRIS.—A correspondent, who
dates "Harris, 27th July," says—A small whale was
shot on Friday last by Mr. Morrison, the schoolmaster
of Kylisscalpay. No sooner was the blubber shorn off
the carcase than the most needy of the inhabitants came
craving the carcase to be divided among them for family
consumption. The generous teacher immediately dis-
tributed the animal amongst the applicants. Those to
whom it was given relished it with the greatest appetite,
and depended upon its nourishment three days succes-
sively. They went to Tarbert, where the destitution-
store meal is kept, in the hope of getting a few pounds
of meal to put on the juice for porridge, but their ex-
pectations were disappointed.—Edinburgh News.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A certified Cure of Scrofula
by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate
from Mr- Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be
verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have resided
) R. Alcorn. Jan. I, 1849."

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
(From the Chronicle.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—I sit down in the
comparative tranquillity of my hotel, to give you
something like a coherent account of the proceedings
at Kingstown, and to sketch, in a brief and very
general way, the aspect of things during her Majesty's
transit from the harbour to the Viceregal Lodge. I
say the "comparative tranquillity" of my hotel, for
absolute tranquillity in Dublin at present there is
none. The whole city is overboiling with life and
excitement. I found the streets more animated than
I expected on my first arrival. That animation had
wonderfully increased on my return from Cork, when
decorators and painters were working as hard as thew
and muscle would permit them, and the streets were
thronged with the vehicles of the numerous strangers
whom interest or curiosity had attracted to the Irish
capital.
This evening, however—although the immediate
cause of excitement is over—although the Queen is
probably just sitting down to the hospitable table of
her Viceroy—the broad thoroughfares of Dublin are
moving masses of anxious and excited spectators.
The continuous clatter of passing carriages would do
honour to an afternoon in Cheapside. The dust,
trampled and pulverised by the hundreds of thousands
of passing feet, hoofs, and wheels, is flying in subtle
and penetrating. clouds from the Phoenix to College-
green, and, in fact, the entire aspect of the good town
is that of a city plunged into a perfect maelstrom of
giddy and overwhelming excitement.
On mentally reviewing ray hurried sketch of this
morning's doings at Kingstown harbour, I do not
see that I can add any very material feature to the
descriptive portion of the letter. I know, however,
the difficulty which people frequently experience in
realising in their own minds, in seeing with their own
mental eyes—something like an exact and satisfac-
tory portraiture of a scene of which they read. And
as the scene which took place this morning when the
Queen of Great Britain landed in Ireland may be
fairly deemed historical, I shall perhaps be forgiven
by you and your readers if I venture more carefully
to retrace the ground which I have already hurriedly
traversed.
Let me, therefore, try to paint a word picture of
Kingstown Harbour. First then, will the reader
call up in his mind's eye a long concave range of
shore, forming a segment of the coast line of a great
and wide-spreading bay. Near at hand, on the left
side, looking inland, he will place a tumultuous
gathering of heath and corn-clad hills, tumbling down
to the sea, and flinging out their farthest reaching
masses in the islets of Dalkey. Far away to the
right lie Howth and the white piers and light-
house of Dublin Harbour. But with them we have
little at present to do—we keep to the foreground.
There one sees white lines of holiday and summer-
looking houses, stretching along above the beach,
in pleasant terraces and rows. Lawns spread
out their green carpets of sward before them,
shady avenues wind hither and thither, and
clumps of bright and leafy foliage fling their fresh
and sylvan greeiery up into the sunny air. Be-
neath all this winds the brown and shingly beach,
hemmed in with sea walls, and dotted with bathing
stations.

So much for the coast. Imagine next, two great
massive lines of pier, at once wharfs and breakwaters,
flinging out their granite arms, and thus as it were,
retrieving the space which they embrace from the
open ocean. The area of still water thus formed is
Kingstown Harbour. At its lower end, its farthest
inland extremity is a cross wharf. An hundred paces
behind it is the terminus of the Dublin and Kings-
town Railway. From this wharf—it is locally called
the jetty—the mail packets usually start. Their
station, however, has been for the present shifted to
the bight of the southern sea wall, and to day the
Victoria and Albert lay alongside of the pier in ques-
tion. On either side of this central landing place
wind back a couple of slightly traced bays, which
afford a convenient anchorage for scores of yachts
-and pleasure boats. The larger vessels, principally
steamers, lie off the jetty, more or less towards the
centre and mouth of the harbour.
I have in these few sentences tried to conjure up
before the mental apprehension of the reader the
general shape of Kingstown. Harbour, and the coast
scenery by which it is environed. The frame-work
thus completed, the touching in of the details will be
less difficult.
Every one can people such a harbour as I have
described with scores of trim, tidy yachts, all riding
head to wind, their ensigns and private signals flutter-
ing from the truck to the taffrail. Nor will it be
more difficult to imagine a squadron of light and
heavy steamers, similarly decorated, swinging to their
anchors in the outer part of the port. Intersperse
the latter with crowded steam-tugs and small
coasting vessels, and fill up almost every interstice
with private wherries and quick pulling man-of- war s
boats, and anyboly who completes the process will
have a very rood idea of Kingstown Harbour as it
yesterday appeared at the disembarkation of her Ma-
jesty. One word more. The wharfs round the jetty
must be imagined crowded with spectators, built over
with scarlet-covered platforms, and glittering with
the bright summer dresses of the Kingstown ladies.
Here and there the uniform of a military or naval
officer glanced conspicuously forth from under the
flag-wreathed canopy which stretched to the railway
station from the water's edge, while serried lines of
bayonets show the position of the detachments of
troops requisite for the sake of ceremony rather than
for that of preserving order.
Having thus endeavoured to describe the general
aspect of things as they struck my own eye, I shall
shortly and succinctly detail the more strictly per-
sonal and official portion of the proceedings.
The party of visitors who went on board immedi-
ately upon the yacht coming alongside the jetty con-
sisted, as I am informed, of the, following persons :
The Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon,
Prince George of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor,
the Marquis of Ormonde' the Duke of Leinster, Sir
Edward Blakeney, the Lord Primate, the Archbishop
of Dublin, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench
and Common Pleas, Sir William Somerville, the
Master of the Rolls, Mr. Redington, and Mr. Corry
Connellan.
I have already transmitted to you the names of the
group whom I observed surrounding her Majesty on
the quarter-deck (stile yacht.
On the appearance of the royal children on deck,
there was a general cheer raised by the gratified
spectators on shore.
A deputation, representing the county of Dublin,
then came on board, and presented a loyal address to
her Majesty. It may be worth while to state that the
deputation consisted of the following gentlemen :
The Earl of Charlemont, Viscount Brabazon, Earl of
Howth, Viscount St. Lawrence, Viscount Monck,
Hon. SL John Butler, Hon. E. Preston, Sir Robert
Shaw, Sir Edward Kennedy, Baron de Roebeck, J.
Hans Hamilton, M.P., Lieut.-Colonel Edward Taylor,
M.P., Hans H. Woods, Charles Cobbs, jun., Captain
C. Domville, John Barlow, Colonel Latouche, Chris-
topher Fitzsimon, A. B. Crofton, John Lantaigne,
Lieut.-Colonel Shaw, John Ennis, High Sheriff, and
William Lewis, jun., Sub-Sheriff.
The Lord-Lieutenant and his lady preceded her
Majesty on shore. The Queen leant, upon Prince
Albert, and the royal children followed.
The ladies and gentlemen composing the suite then
traversed the crimson-covered gangway to the shore.
The royal party walked slowly to the terminus,
bowing in acknowledgment of the hearty enthusiasm
which was everywhere displayed around them, while
the cannon, thundering from the men-of-war
steamers, the pier, and the Pigeon-house Fort,
echoed back the greeting which rung from the
crowded quays.
Ere the smoke of the firing had drifted from the
smooth water of Kingstown Harbour the royal train
was in rapid motion towards the metropolis—its
progress everywhere marked by the fluttering flags
displayed on lawn and garden, from chimney and
housetop—while the spectators who thronged the
raised sideways of the railway waved hats and hand-
kerchiefsherl Majesty's progress

Viceregal Lodge will be found below. I can only
pretend to give a cursory view of the procession as I
caught a glimpse of it in Nassau-street, after having
by dint of very strenuous exertions squeezed myself
into the Kingstown terminus through a crowd which
crushed one much flatter than was at all agreeable,
and which put me strongly in mind of half-a• dozen
Jenny Lind nights at the Opera pit door rolled into one.
What I want to convey is a coup dell of the
cortege. Fancy, then, a handsome brick-built street,
with houses of four and five stories in height. The
shops are all shut, and before many of them are
erected stages, platforms, and pavilions of every
imaginable size and shape, agreeing in the single
point of their being one and all crowded with gaily-
dressed company. Now, people the windows on
either side with groups of anxious spectators. Ima-
gine banners, flags, and laurel and bay-wreathed
poles, projecting everywhere over the crowded tho-
roughfare. Next, fancy the swarming pavements
lined with the glancing arms and brilliant accoutre-
ments of long rows of military, the people behind
them crowded together in confused dusky vistas.
Now then, the procession is advancing. You hear
a confused murmur swelling now and then into
