moreland, having been constituted a post town, the Post-
office there will be opened for the issue and payment of
money orders o❑ and after the Ist of June next. Mount
Bellew, county Galway, Ireland, is now called Mount
Bellew Bridge.
We are enabled to state that a marriage of more
than common interest even in a political point of view
has been agreed upon between a fair countrywoman of
our own and ono of the Royal personages who have had
occasion to seek refuge in Great Britain. The Count de
Montemolin has offered his hand to Miss de Horsey, the
accomplhhed daaghter of Spencer de Horsey, Esq., and
the marriage will shortly be solemnized in this country.
It is understood that a negotiation has been opened by
the Prince with the Government of the Queen of Spain,
which has consented to make an adequate provision for
his Royal Highness and his bride, in consideration of
the renunciation of the claims to the throne of tho male
line, of which the Count de Montemolin is the represen-
tative.—Times.
TIIE Hop PLANTATIONS.—We have received ac-
counts from various parts of the hop district, all con-
curring in the fact that within the last few days the
number of fly has been steadily increasing, until it has,
at length, assumed the character of an alarming attack
on the plant.—Maid.tone Gazette.
WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN
RAILWAY.—It appears from a return to the House of
Lords respecting the allotment of 5,800 shares of the
above company among members of either House of Par-
liament, that 372 shares were allotted to three mem-
bers of the House of Lords, of which 202 shares
were taken up, and the deposits paid upon
them; and of 5,489 shares allotted to 47 Members of
the House of Commons, 4,467 were taken up, and the
