Such a revolution of public opinion with respect
to the office of Guardian has taken place, that the competition
is not now who shall fill the office, but who shall escape it, and
the members of the several Boards arc nets' generally elected
without competition.— Sherborne Journal.
A rick of hay, standing in a field, the property-
of the Rev. A. Smith, of Old Park, near Devizes, was disco-
vered to be on firs on Tuesday afternoon. An alarm was
mediately given, and by the prompt arrivt.l of the engines, the
greater part was saved. It is generally considered to be the
act of an incendiary.—Devizes Gazette.
O'CONNELL—AGITATION.--The Hon. and
Learned Member for Dublin, iu a letter dated the 30th ult.,
addressed to the conductor of the Pilot, writes—" My plan. is,
to go over to Ireland early in Holy Week, to assist in the mean-
time in organising every parish in Ireland. The' north is a,:v
always ready for legal agitation. The rest of Ireland
easily wake into exertion. Stanley's Bill is in fact a 13:
to take away from the Catholic people of Ireland, and from t 5
humbler classes of Protestants and Presbyterians, all parteio,
tion in the franchise." The Pilot says, " The exasperat,ou
and determined spirit evoked throughout this country by
Stanley's Bill, has roused Kerry ; and we expect confident':
to receive similar proofs of public feeling from all parts of lr
land before one week will have passed."
