The assault on the police having also been proved,

Mr. GnovE said that if the prisoner had been act•
ing as engine-driver, or in any other capacity by which
the lives of Ler Majesty's subjects would have been en-
dangered by his misconduct, he should have imposed
upon him the extreme penalty to which he had ren-
dered himself liable umkr the new Act, but as it ap-
peared that his situation was much less responsible, he
should take into consideration the prisoner's apparent
condition and former good character, and mitigate the
sentence to fourteen days' imprisonment, without hard
labour, in the House of Correction.

CAUTION TO THE CLERGY —A tiun• wo-
man, about 24 years of age, respectably dressed. and who,,,
speech shows that she is a native of Ireland, is
visits to the Clergy, assuming the name of each upon
whom she calls, and after giving the particular., of her
h;story, and mentioning the reluctance with which she
solicit, the favour, she requests to borrow a small sum
whereby she may purchase materials for lacework, and thus
earn an honest livelihood. She states that she is an orphan,
having lest her father about a year ago,j and her mother
within the last fortnight.
REPRESENTATION OF KERRY.—We can Con-
firm the rumour which has been for some days in circula-
tion, that the Hon. William Browne, brother of Earl
Kenmare, will come forward as candidate for the represen-
tation of the county of Kerry at the next election. Mr
Browne represented the county in former Parliaments, and
resigned, principally, we believe, on account of the state
of his health. Ilis votes, it is needless to state, were al-
ways those of en enlightened Liberal Member ; and, en-
tertaining no doubt whatsoever, that he will be returned at
the next election, in conjunction with Mr. Morgan John
O'Connell, we hail with much satisfaction the almost cer-
tainty of the great Western County being so honourably
and appropriately represented. The treatment of Mr.
Blennerhasset by his Tory friends, since his election, in
withholding the promised pecuniary aid, and leaving him
to pay all the expenses, a part of which, at least, they
undertook to defray, will, of course, prevent him from
hazarding another contest. The Earls of Kenmare and
Listowel will be immediately raised to the Peerage of the
United Kingdom.—Goth Southern Reporter.
