THE POLICE IN IRELAND.

The Cork Examiner reports a curious case heard at
the Westport Petty Sessions. Two peasants named
Moran, father and son, and a young man named
Duffy, a baker, were charged with having arms in a pro-
claimed district. The witnesses were three police-con-
stables, Bruce, Irwin, and Anderson, the former of whom
found the barrel of a gun in the thatch of Moran's house,
and in another part the stock with a piece of a cotton
handkerchief tied around the lock. On entering the house
they found Duffy sleeping with the Morans, and Bruce pro-
ceeded to search his coat, in which the missing portion of
the handkerchief was found. The gun was identified as one
stolen a few nights before from Mrs. Hunter's steward. The
circumstanceswe seemed conclusive against the prisoners,

THE NEW SENATUS CONSULTUM.

The new Senatus-Consultum, regulating the privileges
of the Senate, which M. 011ivier introduced on Monday
to the Senate itself, contains seven articles. It provides
that henceforward the Senate shall share legisla-
tive Tower with the Emperor and the Corps
L6gislatif. It retains the right of initiating all
laws; but taxes must be voted in the first instance by the
Corps L6gislatif. The number of Senators, exclusive of
Senators by right, may be raised to two-thirds of the
Lower House, but the Emperor may only nominate
twenty per annum. The constituent power conferred on
the Senate by the Constitution of January 1852 is abolished
and the constitution of the empire is formed by the
pl6biscites of December 1851 and November 1852, the
people alone, on the suggestion of the Emperor, having
the right to modify it. All articles and paragraphs
opposed to the present senatus consultum are abrogated.
The measure is to be debated in the Senate on
Friday next. Its introduction by M. 011ivier was looked
for with much interest, and the hall was thronged. In the
galleries, and especially in the press gallery, there was
scarcely room to move. The Senate Chamber itself was
filled, very few Senators being absent from their posts,
while the court was crowded with carriages. M.
011ivier, it was noticed, appeared for the first time in
uniform.
