DUBLIN, SUNDAY ETENING.—The northern papers
report fresh acts of incendiarism. A stack of
oats, the produce of six acres, the property of Cap-
tain Garner, who resides within two miles of Belfast,
was consumed on Friday in the open day. It is sup-
posed that the deed was perpetrated by means of com-
bustibles thrown over the wall by a person who was
seen driving rapidly past the premises, at the time
the fire broke out, in a gig or tax-cart.
An investigation, by order of the Government, has
been held, to inquire into the circumstances con-
nected with the late affray between the incendiaries
and the two girls M'Veagh; the inquiry was private
but it appears that there are some doubts whether the
whole thing was not a fabrication. Six, however, out
of the eleven magistrates, were satisfied of the truth-
fulness of the statement made by the M'Veaghs.
A Cork Repeal paper announces, that secret socie •
ties are extending themselves through that county,
they are composed chiefly of the humbler classes.
The paid guardians of the Athlone Union who
were appointed about a year ago are to be superseded,
the Commissioners having sent down an order
authorising the election of a Board of Guardians on
the 25th of March next. The change does not ap-
pear to have given satisfaction.

Mr. Calhoun's Southern manifesto had been pub-
lished. The South is urged to unite and to prepare
for a concerted defence of its rights, in case alleged
aggressions should be pursued by the North. No
immediate or definite measure or resistance is recom-
mended, but harmony and preparation are forcibly
presented as necessary on the crisis.
The Hon. A. H. Sevier had died.

At Baltimore the weather was intensely cold; the
harbour was frozen, and markets stationary. The
Board of Health at New Orleans on the 10th pro-
nounced the cholera no longer epidemic i❑ that city.
The malady was rapidly disappearing. Business was
resuming its accustomed channels, and citizens were
returning.

intelligence. The Abberton, which left Plymouth

Gratitude, which left London on the 14th of the
same month.
