sa as a law clerk, his abilities getting for
him such a sum as 3001. a year ; besides that, he
earned nearly as much more from his after hours'
practice. For a number of years he had penned articles
for some of the Dublin press, and was well known for his
satire. He was, also, a frequent contributor to some low
F currilous publications—the Salmagundi and Paddy
Kelly's Budget—which had but a brief existence in the
metropolis. He is a man of irritable temper, great de-
termination, and reckless daring. He has a wife and
four children. In the course of yesterday, when the
tin-identifying' witnesses exhibited a deficiency of
knowledge of the prisoner, he laughed heartily and occa-
sionally sneered at the Attorney-General, and during
the examination of the other witnesses he wrote frequeut

THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.
TRIAL OF MR. MEAGHER.
CLONMEL, TIIIISDAY.—The court opened this morn-
ing at a quarter before 10.
T. S. Dobbin, the informer, was the first witness
examined. He deposed to baring seen Mr. Meagher
at the meeting of the Curran Club at Dublin, in
June. Mr. -Meagher was not a member of the
Curran Club, but was a registered member of the
Grattan Club; he attended a meeting on the 22d of
June for the presentation of colours to the club.
It was a tri-coloured flag. Mr. Meagher spoke of
them standing to their colours to establish the inde-
pendence of their country. Attended a meeting on
the 21st, Mr. Meagher was present. Mr. Dillon
was moved to the chair. No business was done until
Mr. Meagher came. He was in the room when
Mr. Dillon was moved to the chair. It was stated
in the room that the meeting was for the election
of an executive council. Mr. Dillon announced
it from the chair. It was said that a council of
twenty-one members was too numerous, as their
transactions would ooze out through so many
hands, and that there would be more secrecy in a
smaller number. Mr. Dillon mentioned certain

names of persons whom Mr. Duffy wished to be on
the executive council; the names of three clergymen
were read out—those of Mr. Hughes, Mr. O'Malley,
and Mr. Kenyon ; the name of Mr. Lalor was also
mentioned; some of the members said, that as it was
to be a war council, it was not fit that priests should
he on it. The persons announced to be elected were
Mr. Dillon, Mr. Meagher, Mr. O'Gorman, jun., Mr.
M'Gee, and Mr. Devin Reilly. Mr. Lalor and Mr.
1114Dermott wanted those present to give a pledge
that they would expedite the insurrection by the Bth
of August; Mr. Meagher objected to give
any pledge of that sort, that be would
have it on the Bth, but be said be would do all
in his power to expedite it even beforp the Bth.
Mr. Lalor stated that the council of five were to sit
next day to arrange to have four club meetings in
Dublin on the next Sunday, the 23d; they were to
have no speeches, but the names of the club men were
to be called out; they were not to tell the clubs any-
thing about where they were to meet until about two
hours before the meeting, as it wee considered they
should be sufficiently well organized to turn out at
tw o hours' notice. The object of this meeting was to
ascertain the eumericul strength of the clubs ; they
were not to he armed. After a lengthened cross-ex-
a aiination, Dobbin was dismissed, arid a police-officer
Isas examined, who proved the finding of the letter
to Mr. Smith by Mr. Meagher, nod read in
court on the previous day. In Dlr. Smith's house
were also found many other letters in Mr. Meagher's
hand writing. Voting and other papers taken from
Mr. Liam- were then put in evidence and identified.
Constable Dunlevie deposed that he was stationed at
Ennhcorthy in July last, and that on the morning
of Sunday, the 23d, he saw Mr. Smith O'Brien,
Mr. Meagher, and Mr. Dillon, come into the town
On a car; they addressed the people in the market-
place. Mr. Meagher said he always was and ever
would remain the unrelenting enemy of the British
Government ; that he had the honour a short time
ago to address 50,000 Tipperary men--that they
were prepared to do their duty.---Mr. Dillon said
that the Wexford men were brave and determined--
that they all had a gun in a corner, and kept their
powder dry, and were always sure to hit their mark.
After a great deal of evidence and cross-examina-
tion, during which it was contended that it was im-
possible to connect Mr. O'Brien's and Mr. Meagher's
purpose together, the Court adjourned till the next
day.

MEDICAL RELIEF SOCIETT.—Last night the half-
yearly general court of the above charity, established to
afford relief to the widows and orphans of medical men
in London and its vicinity, was held at the Gray's-inn
Coffee-house, Holborn; Martin Ware, Esq., vice-presi-
dent, in the chair. From the statement of the past six
months it appears that the receipts amounted to 470/.,
whilst near 700/. had been distributed among 45 appli-
cants for relief—namely, 33 widows and 12 orphans.
There was an increase in the number of sufferers re-
lieved during the past half-year, proportionably to the
advance in the income. The capital is upwards of
45,000/. The report was adopted, and after the election
of officers, together with some other routine business had
been disposed of; the court adjourned.
GREAT SHINJI' MATCH BETWEEN CANDLISH OF
NEWCASTLE, AND DAWES 07 MANCRESTER.—This
match, for 304 a side, came off on Monday, on the Ir-
well, the distance altogether being about two miles.
Candlish's boat, the Fairy Queen, had a very symme-
trical appearance. It is thirty feet long, and eighteen
inches broad amidships. It was built by William Cand-
lish, a bricklayer, and a brother of the competitor.
Dawes appeared in a skiff of the celebrated Doubledee's,
built by Noulton and Wilde, of London. It is thirty
feet four inches in length. At a quarter-past two the
boats were started by Mr. Chew, secretary to the Regatta
Club. The start was a very fair one, both boats getting
well off together, and thus they continued for about a
quarter of a mile. Candlish then gradually drew ahead of
his opponent, and maintained the lead, certainly having
this in his favour, that the Salford bank of the river
protected him from a strong wind which was blowing at
the time. On arriving at the turning point, the New-
castle man was about two boats' length ahead of Dawes,
and both boats made the turn remarkably well. From
this point Dawes appeared to become dispirited, and
never recovered himself. On their way home Candlish
gradually drew away from his opponent until he was
300 yards, ahead. lie rested then for some time, until
Dawes was close upon him, when ho again drew ahead,
and won with the greatest ease by four or five lengths.
Candlish sat upon a sort of deck all the time he was
rowing. He weighs lOst., and his opponent 10st. 71b.
The.betting was unimportant; it was even before the
start, and afterwards it-was 3to 2 and sto 4 against
Dawes.—Manchester Courier.
LIVERPOOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—IN EE T.
B. AUMANU23.—it will be recollected that a fiat in bank-
ruptcy against this individual, who has recently cut such
a prominent figure in the so-called Irish rebellion, and
is now awaiting his sentence at Clonmel, was taken out
shortly after he left this town for Ireland. Monday was
the day fixed for the last :examination; but the bank-
rupt, of course, did not appear, for good and sufficient
reasons, with which the public are already acquainted.
At the rising of the Court, Mr. Ayres, one of the offi-
cers, proclaimed the bankrupt in the usual form, and
called upon him to surrender. According to the bank-
ruptcy laws, the effect of his non-appearance will be to
place him in the position of an outlaw.
TEE CHARGE OF POISONING THE CHIEF RABBI OF
LEMBERG AND HIS CHILDREN.—A report spread in
Germany that the Chief Rabbi of Lemberg and -his
family had been poisoned by the orthodox Jews, his
antagonists, found its way into most of our daily and
weekly journals a few weeks ago. The report truly
slated that the Jews suspected of tho foul murder were
taken, but the accusation could not be brought home to
them, as the Rabbi's cook could not identify them. We
have since received letters from a correspondent at Lem-
bei g, and also the Oberpostanifs Zeitung (a Christian
journal), of the 26th ultimo, from which it appears that
there is not a particle of truth in the calumnious charge,
and that the accused were honourably acquitted—it
having been ascertained, on the authority of the medical
men in the office of Government, that the Rabbi and his,
child died from the effects of malignant cholera, which
is fearfully raging in that town, and that the other chil-
dren of the Rabbi who were seized with vomit.ng
laboured also under an attack of the same maladzi.—.
