The following appointments were announced yester-

Morgan O'Connell, Esq., to be registrar of deeds, vice
George Moore, Esq., retired.
Walter Glascock, Esq., first assistant-registrar.

John E. Chapman, E•q., second assistant-registrar.
Mr. William Butler, first clerk.

THE ARMY.—The first division, consisting of three
troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), arrived
in Dublin from Liverpofil by steam conveyance on Satur-
day morning last, and marched on Monday for New-
bridge, where the regiment is to be stationed.
DEATH OF LADY MARSH.—November 2, at her house
in Merrion-square, after a severe and protracted illness,
which she bore with singular patience and resignation,
Anne, wife of Sir Henry Marsh, Bart.
GALWAY, Nov. 2.—There is a national school at
Monivae, in this county, which, notwithstanding the
opposition of the Roman Catholic clergy, has flourished
for some years under the liberal patronage of the pro-
prietor of the village, and the care of a very efficient and
pains-taking teacher. The numbers of children in at-
tendance vary, according to the season, from 120 to 150;
but during the last month, the school room has been
crowded beyond all former experience, insomuch that it
has been found necessary to close the doors against several
new claimants for admission.
So unusual a circumstance is ascribed by the school-
master to the distress of the parents, who being unable
to supply a breakfast to their children, are anxious to
remove them out of their sight for some hours of the day
into a place of warmth and rest. He states that there is
a remarkable change in the ability and inclination of
his pupils in general to apply themselves to the business
of the school. They have become dull and listless; and
many of them, when dismissed in the afternoon to crawl
to their homes, actually " faint by the wayside." A more
affecting proof of the lamentable condition of our rural
population could scarcely be produced.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
MONMOUTH.

For a series of years the Tories have monopolised the
representation of this borough at the municipal board,
and have hitherto succeeded in electing their men,
chiefly through the agency of the house of Beaufort.
For the last two years the burgesses have resolved to
get rid of their political thraldom, and by calling public
meetings antecedent to the annual election, have nomi-
nated their own candidates, and have succeeded in elect-
ing the whole of them on each occasion. On Monday
last the candidates publicly nominated were triumphantly
elected—the numbers being at the close of the poll as
follows:

Mr. Thomas Swift, merchant (L) 121
Mr. R. Burton, builder ... (L) 93
Mr. Thomas Powell, draper (L) 90
Mr. W. Williams, grocer ... (L) 88
Mr. James Davies, grocer ... 32
Mr. E. Phillips, merchant ... 30
Mr. J. Pugh, draper ... 27
The first four were consequently declared duly elected,
Not a third of the burgesses polled, otherwise the ma-
jority would have been considerably greater.
