been already made in the reaping of oats and barley,
both of which are excellent and iibundant crops, but
the wheat harvest is yet rather backward, and that
grain appears to be irregular and unequal in the
ripening. Fields of wheat h.-‘ve heeri cut in various
districts ; but the bulk of that grain is not yet fit for
the sickle: •
Since yesterday the weather has undergone :a de-
cided change. It is dry' ; but the wind is due north,
and the temperature is much lower, having all the
sharpness usual at the latter part of the autumn.
The reports from the:country are all exceedingly
favourable as regards the crops, including potatoes.

Gentleman, on the occasion of a soiree given in the
city of Londonderry to the Very Rev. Theobald Ma-

expressed his grateful acknowledgments to the elec-
tors of the county *of Limerick, for having returned
him again as one of their representatives, and stated
his determination to take his seat in Parliament.. This
declaration at once put an end to the various surmises

course which would be pursued by the Hon. Member.

carried away by some 240 cars. This was done to
evade an anticipated distress for rent. This has urged
several landlords in the locality to be more than
usually vigilant, and, .I regret to add, more than
usually severe.—Limerick Examiner.
DREADFUL OUTRAGE AT RATFICORMAC.--The
sub-sheriff, with apart), of twenty police under Sub-
Inspector Ashbery proceeded to dispossess a farmer
named Mullins, whose.house was barricaded and de-
fended from within by three armed men. The bailiffs
proceeded to forcean entrance, but were immediately
fired upon from Within, and one of them received the
contents of a blunderhUss loaded with slugs in the
abdomen. The police were ordered to fire in through
the windows, and the party from within kept
up their fire, without, however, doing further injury
than sending a bullet through a policeman s
cap. The police brake in the door, and ar-
rested the party, all " armed to the teeth,"
one of whom, a son .of ..Mullins, bad his left
hand dreadfully shattered, his gun having burst.
The party were all escorted to Carrick-on-Suir last
night. Three doctors agreed that it was necessary to
amputate Mullins's hand, but he resisted the oi.era-
tion. The bailiff is still alive, but no hopes of
his recovery—he is now in the workhouse hos-
oital at Carrick k)n- S uir.— Tipperary Free Press of
Saturday.
IikPEAL ASSOCIATION —The weikly meeting of
the Association v‘as held this day. Mr. J. A.
O'Neill (the unsuccessful candidate tor Kildare) pre-
sided. The Chairman, in an address of considerable
lei gth, vindicated his character from the aspersions
which had been cast upon it during the recent elec-
tion, and attributed his defeat to the alliance of the
IVhigs with the Tories of the county, combined with
intimidation, which had been extensively practised.
Mr. J. P. Somers; M.P., Rev. G. Doyle, P.P.' and
others having addressed the Meeting, Mr. John Rey-
nolds, M.P., addressed the meeting at some length,
and handled rather strongly Mr. Gregory's want of
punctuality in paying the sheriff his share of the
expenses, whilst he insisted (through his agent) in
that functionary not putting him (Mr. Reynolds) in
nomination till he lodged his share of the contingent.
Mr. John O'Connell having addressed the meeting at
some length, the rent for the week was announced to
be 521. The meeting then adjourned.

REPORTED ELOPEMENT.—Notice of an action for
libel has been this day served on the proprietors of a
Dublin paper for the publication of an article, on
Saturday last, to the effect that the wife of a profes-
sional gentleman, said to be pointed out, had eloped
with an officer. • There is no truth in the report, if it
apply to the parties supposed to be referred to.
FAILURE IN DUBLIN.—A respectable house, of old
standing in this city, recently connected with the
corn trade, has suspended payment. The liabilities
are estimated at 40,0001. The recent failure in the
same trade in "Sligo was the main cause of this
stoppage.
A firm in the distillery trade in the northern pro-
vince has also stopped payment. The liabilities are
not ascertained, but it is understood that they are not
serious.

SERIOUS ILLNESS Or MR. J. JAMESON..—Mr.
James Jameson, governor of the Bank of Ireland, is
very dangerously ill. He is one of the partners in
the extensive distillery of Jameson and Co., in this
city, a firm of considerable wealth.

AN UNFORTUNATE HEDGEHOG.—A gentleman in
this neighbourhood had a tame hedgehog in his garden,
which, in seeking its food, was at the same time a pro-
moter of horticulture by destroying many noxious in-
sects. One day lately he unluckily went near a hive of
bees, and a number of them attacked him with great
fury. lle defended' himself by standing on his bind
feet, and striking with his fore paws. Finding, however,
that the bees were getting the best of it, he coiled him-
self up in his bristly armour, but in doing so he enclosed
some of his enemies, who stung him severely. He then
enrolled himself and renewed the fight for some time,
out eventually Retreated into a bu-h. Next more ing the
poor hedgehog was found dead, showing that however
completely the stomachs of these animals can resist
:aiison, they are not proof against its external applica-
tion in the shape of the smarting sting of the bee,—

with the railway interest, met at the King's Arms
Tavern, Bridge street, Blacktriars, to consider the ex-

C.E., was called to the chair, and explained that the
growing extent of railway enterprise, and the immense
:ncrease in the number of the body, not only resident
but located in London, rendered such an institution de-
sirable and necessary. Resolutions for carryineg.onuntgr_
