THE STANLEY AGITATION.--A.O the Leinster meeting
on Tuv,day, amongst other l',cters of apology read, was
oae from Mr. Evans, the 31
-ember for the county of Dub-
lin. The Hon. Gentleedan, speaking of Lord Stanley's
Bill, writes :—" I consider this measure as the most fatal
blow that has ever ).,eon directed against the peace and in-
dependence of tt;is ill-fated country. If this Bill should
oaes, itU must 'altimately lead Li this result, a disseverance
f thenifsn, and an ultimate separation of the two king,
doms. Irishmen, if it pass—one and all must become Re-.
, pealers."
1 The Dublin provincial papers are still crowded with the
reports of meetings held throughout the country, and es-
eielly in the province of Ulster, at which all the speakers
have adopted a determined tone in relation to the Dis-
franchisement Bill of Lord Stanley.
Mr. Sharman Crawford has addressed a well-timed
letter to the friends of liberty at Ulster.
At the county of Louth meeting, held on Monday, a
leter was read from Thomas Fortescue, Esq., of Ravens-
dale Park, condemning the Bill. Mr. Fortescue, who has
recently given his adhesion to the Liberal party, is one of
the most extensive proprietors in Louth.
The Count de Salis presided on Sunday -at the meet-
ing of the parish of Kilmore, cou..ty of Armagh, and
I spoke with the greatest energy against the measure of
Lord Stanley.
r On Monday there was a great public meeting at Dundalk.
In the meantime there has
ibeen afeeble attempt in Bel-
fast and Atmagh to get 01, nee.and-corner petitions in
support of Lord Stanley.
The Pilot says that rep Jrt gives the Secretaryship, va.

AN A PPARITION.—Soure time ago, an indus-
trious family went to Derby. from Wirksworih, to procure ern-
phyment, which they obtained. The occupant of the house
i they selected for their residence had just departed this life.
The room in which he died was contiguous to the one where In another part of our Paper appears an account
of a murder perpetrated

night, the mother of the family while sitting at tea remarked,
at Halltx, by a gardener,
that she should not feel right unless the room in which the under the influence of •
dead man had lain was cleaned and white-washed; scarcely .
