ARRIVAL OF LORD J. RUSSELL.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—At half-past three o'clock yes-
terday afternoon a steamer appeared in the distance,
and a signal from the Birkenhead war steamer elicited
a reply to the effect that the strange smoke was from
the Banshee, commanded by Captain Smithett, and
that Lord and Lady John Russell were on board. A
gun was then fired, and the spectators on the pier were
apprised of the near approach of her Majesty's Prime
Minister, an event of rare occurrence in Ireland.
About ten minutes after four o'clock the bow of the
Banshee turned the eastern pier of the harbour, when
Captain Williams, of the Iron Duke steamer, commenced
a feu de joie. and did not cease till the Banshee came well
up to the pier. Messrs. G. Rae, J. Magee, J. Pim, and
other directors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway,
went on board and paid their respects to his Lordship.
The Lord Mayor likewise discharged this duty, and
several strangers expressed their gratification at seeing
Lord and Lady J. Russell.
The lower orders present did not shout, but they did not
groan, as some apprehended they would do. One fellow
roared out " A cheer for Mitchel," another " A cheer
for Repeal," but there was no response.
His Lordship and Lady J. Russell were then con-
ducted to the terminus of the Kingstown railway, where
a special train was in waiting, and in eight minutes after
starting it arrived in Dublin. Here again a large assem-
blage of persons of the middle and lower orders were pre-
sent. The moment his Lordship was recognised a faint
cheer was raised. An attempt to get up a groan failed.
The distinguished visitors got into one of the Lord-Lieu-
tenant's carriages which was in waiting, and before five
o'clock they reached the Viceregal Lodge at the Park.
Lord and Lady John Russell drove through Dublin
to-day in the carriages of the Lord Lieutenant. His
Excellency and the Countess of Clarendon accompanied,
their distinguished visitors. The absence of ostenta-
tion in the equipage enabled the party to pass through
the most public parts of the city without attracting
attention.
THE ROTATORY PARLIAMENTS.
The Duke of Leinster has addressed the following
letter to his brother:—
" London, 6, Carlton house-terrace, Sept. 1, 1848.
"My dearest William,—l have received your circular
letter of the 23d of August and the enclosures, and have
no hesitation in stating I am °Hosed to the plan you
propose of having periodical sittings of the Imperial
Parliament in Ireland.

"I will not enter into my reasons, as they are so well
expressed in an article on the subject in the Dubin
Evening Post of Tuesday, the 29th of August, and in a
letter that I have seen addressed to you by Mr. Arthur
L. 0. Guinness, of the 30th of August.
" Yours, ever affectionately,
" LEINSTER.
" The Lord William Fitzgerald." . .

FATAL ACCIDENT.—WO regret to announce the death,
by drowning, of Mr. F. Goold, barrister, eldest son of
the late Master Goold, which melancholy event occurred
on Thursday last on the coast of Sligo. Mr. Goold,
and his brother Robert, were on a visit with Sir R. G.
Booth, and on Thursday morning went out in a boat on
the Atlantic to shoot seals. In the course of the fore-
noon a heavy squall came on, which upset the boat; the
elder brother was drowned; the second was brought to
shore in such a a state of exhaustion that he did not re-
gain consciousness for upwards of two hours.
TIIE FUGITIVE INSURGENTS.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY.—The police authorities in Dublin
and in the south are of opinion that Mr. R. O'Gorman
and others of the insurgent leaders, whose arrival in
France has been reported, are still fugitives from justice
in this country. During the last week the search after
Messrs. O'Gorman and Doheny has been more active
than before.

It is quite certain that Mr. Francis Morgan, solicitor
of the corporation of Dublin, against whom a
warrant was issued, is now in Paris, from whence he
he has sent over a communication to the corporation
suggesting that the office should be held;vacant until cir-
cumstances shall enable him to return to Ireland. Mr.
Morgan's letter will be submitted to the town council on.
Tuesday next.

It is considered certain, also, that Mr. John Dillon,
barrister, for whose arrest on a charge of high treason
a reward ot 3001. has been offered, has escaped out of
the country ; but the belief amongst the police func-
tionaries is, that the other fugitive leaders, as well as the
most of the minor parties, against whom warrants have
been issued, are still lurking about the counties of Li-
merick, Kerry. Clare, or Tipperary.
THE CLEARANCE SYSTEM.
The Limerick Examiner contains further and most
afflicting accounts ot the clearance system in Clare. That
journal says :
Three hundred houses more, besides the one thousand
already torn down in the union of Kilrush, have been
levelled since our correspondent's last excursion. Will
any limit be put to these ravages ?
"Last week twenty-three families, comprising over
one hundred human beings, were evicted from their.
homes, which were levelled with the ground, in Scariff.
The Sub-Sheriff superintended the operations. In the
name of the God of mercy ! will any stop be put to these
deeds ?

" FURTHER EVICTIOIi S.-A correspondent, upon whom
we can place the fullest reliance, has just sent us the fol-
lowing;—Over one hundred human beings have been
cast out on the world's bleak common, from Liscannor.
The houses are tumbled: the unfortunate people are
squatted by the road-side in huts. They were under-
tenants to a middle-man, named Sheehan, who was
ejected for non-payment of rent."
THE HARVEST.

This is the finest day we have had for several weeks.
The reports from the provinces are generally more
cheerful, even in regard to the potato crop, although
there can be no doubt that a vast amount of that crop is
already utterly destroyed, and that wheat in most dis-
tricts is light in produce, far below the average of ordi-
nary years.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—The site chosen for this an-
cient fair is in the Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, New
North-road, Isling,ton, and considerable bustle was made
on Saturday in the erection of booths, shows, swings,
&c. From present appearances, it will be on a most
extensive scale, and outvie any that has been exhibited
for many years.
OPERATIVE BAKERS' SOCIETY. —On Saturday
night a meeting of the members of the trade favourable
to the short time movement was held at the Rose and
Crown, Stewart-street, Spitalfields, " to support the Bill
now before Parliament for prohibiting the manufacture
of bread and working in bakehouses during certain
hours of the night." Mr. Dixon in the chair. Mr.
George Ives, one of the deputation from the central
committee, said the Bill had been now read a first time,
and they had the assurance of many Members of Par-
liament that if the agitation were vigorously conducted,
before the expiration of next session it would be the
law. But the exertions of the society were almost sus-
p ended for want of the necessary funds, and the com-
mittee earnestly solicited pecuniary support.
FIFTEENTH DAY'S SALE AT STOWE. The sale
on Saturday included sherry, port, claret, marsala, la-
chryma-Christi, tinta Madeira, malmsey, seges, canary,
calcavella, falernian, paxarete, and sack, and was cora-A
prised in 154 lots. The company was less than on any. -
previous day, but the prices, with a few exceptionsM,,
were good. By the Buckinghamshire papers it appears =`
that a subscription has been set on foot by the farmers
of the county, having for its object the re-purchasing of
the Chandos testimonial, with the view of presenting it
to the Duke of Buckingham, to be secured to him during
his life, and, at his decease, descend to the present Mar-
quis of Chandos and his heirs in the nature of an heir-.
loom.
RE-EXAMINATION OF CHARTISTS AT BRADFORD.—
On Friday, at ;Bradford Court-house, the several per-
sons who were apprehended last week by the Bradford
police on a charge of seditious conspiracy, were seve-
rally examined. The investigation took place in the
Magistrates' room, the prisoners being brought before
them singly. The first prisoner taken in was John
Smyth (42), cordwainer, of Bradford. He was attended
by Mr. Terry, his solicitor. Mr. Leveratt, the chief
constable of the borough, stated that the case against
the prisoner was not so complete as he expected to be
able to make it in the course of a day or two, and he
applied for a short remand. Mr. Terry asked Mr. Le-
veratt if he had any evidence in support of the charge
against the prisoner? and Mr. Leveratt answered in the
affirmative. Mr. Terry said, in that case, be would not
offer any opposition to the application for a furtherpost-
ponement. The prisoner was then remanded n fora t weEm.

R DISASTER AMONG THE FISHERMEN or
ANOTHER
NoRTU, AND Loss OF LIFE.—PETERHEAD, AUG. 29.
Asnother sad disaster, which occurred at the herring
wathhicihs rwessdenc ,
fishery here last night, will greatly increase the amount
of sorrow and suffering resulting from the late gale.
This morning at daylight a herring-boat belonging to
Findochty, near Buckie, was found keel uppermost
within about one mile and a half from the shore, the
whole crew, six in number, having perished. The cause
of the misfortune is not known; most probably the boat
had been run down by another vessel, or had upset while
under sail. During the night it blew hard, and a great
many fishing-nets have been lost in consequence. The
names of the men who have perished are James Them,
his son James, and
grandson William, John Souttar, and
Iwo Others whose names have not been ascertained.—
