IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 21.—Further errors in the case of Mr.
S. O'Brien were, by leave, handed in yesterday on his
behalf by Mr. Fitzgerald, one of his counsel. The argu-
ment in this case comes on to .day. The case will be
argued on the part of Mr. O'Brien by Mr. Fitzgerald
and Ur. Whiteside, Q.C., and on the part of the Crown
by the Attorney-General and Mr. D. Lynch.
The death of Mr. Bourne, which was rumoured yes-
terday morning, is very confidently asserted in the halls
to day; and it is said that Mr. Peirce Mahony is likely
to be his successor.
The library of Conciliation Hall, which was sold last
week, pursuant to advertisement, and which contained
some valuable works on Irish history, had realised
about 5001.

There are 8,000 paupers on the outdoor and work-
house relief in Skibbereen.

ACCIDENT TO THE HIBERNIA STEAMER.
During the severe gale, at one o'clock this morning,
the Chester and Holyhead Company's new and very fine
steamer, Hibernia, on entering Kingstown harbour,
suffered considerable injury. It appears that a sailing
vessel was coming in at the same time, and the Hi-
bernia, in order to avoid a collision with her, went so
close to the eastern pier, that she struck with violence
against it, displacing some of the large stones, and
damaged her bow, and otherwise injured the fore part of
the vessel. The passengers, &c., were landed without
the slightest inconvenience; but the Hibernia remains
fast on the pier. However, it is expected that she will
be got off at high water, and that no great damage will
have been done. Those packets of the Chester and
Holyhead Company sail with great regularity, and are
managed exceedingly well. The Cambria now lies in
the harbour of Kingstown, and will take this dispatch
at half-past eight this morning.

PEDESTRIANISM.
JAMES DELANEY ♦ND ♦ NovlcE.—About 400 ad-
mirers of pedestrianism met yesterday on the New North
Road, Holloway, to witness the race of 100 yards for
21., between these men. Shortly after two they made their
appearance at the scratch. Much less time than usual being
wasted in preparing, they both got off, the novice with
a lead of one yard, which he improved, and at 40 yards
was two in advance. Delaney here got up the steam,
caught his man, and ran in a winner by one yard.
Betting 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on the novice.

We are glad to learn that a new novel from the pen
of Mn.s Gore is announced for immediate publication.
" The Diamond and The Pearl " is the piquant title of
this forthcoming work, which we are assured is the best
and most carefully► written ever put forth by its brilliant
and versatile writer. We rejoice to find that the scene
is laid upon English ground, and in the times w• live in,
promising features that will call forth the sympathiea of
•very heart.—Evening paper.
