Tobin, who was arrested at Liverpool on suspicion of
being connected with the murder of Patrick Lonergan, at
Cahir, has been brought to Clonmel and remanded for
eight days by the local magistrate before whom he Was
brought.

A resolution in favour of home rule was moved at a
meeting of the Cork Farmers' Club on Saturday. In
seconding it, Mr. Byrne, president of the Mallow
Farmers' Club, said home rule would extinguish discon-
tent in Ireland, and disarm the animosity shewn by Irish.
men abroad towards England. Mr. M`Carthy opposed
the resolution, on the ground that the agitation won/a
merely lead the farmers into profitless discussions, and
had not a single element of success. The movement had
failed in the hands of O'Connell, and men of far greater
influence than the present agitators, and would not suc-
ceed now. The resolution was passed.
The Kilkenny Journal states that Mr. Agar-Ellis has
forfeited the confidence of his constituents because he did
not attend the recent Papal sympathy meeting in Kil-
kenny. He wrote a letter of apology, stating that he
would be happy to present to Parliament sny petition
which might be adopted ; but this is not considered a
sufficient excuse for his abstention from more active
support to the Papal cause.
A deputation of the Irish National teachers waited on
Saturday, upon the Irish Chief Secretary to press their
claims for an increase of salaries and retiring pensions.
They received, it is said, a very discouraging answer.
The Rev. Professor Galbraith, of the University of
Dublin, read, at the last meeting of the Home Rule As-
sociation, a letter addressed to himself by the Very Rev.
Dean O'Brien, of Limerick, promising the co-operation of
the Roman Catholic clergy, not as by authority, but frow
his knowledge of their feelings and ideas, in furtherance
of the home rule movement. It is not unlikely that such
an agitation as that which the Home Rule Society is
nursing would, if adopted by the Catholic clergy, become
active enough.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. ;!

The Royal Engineers at the head-quarters of the corps, t,

the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, will
shortly be increased by the arrival of the 4th and 18th
companies from Bermuda and Canada.
The rifle with which a large portion of the troops in
Chatham garrison were lately supplied is not the
Martini-Henry rifle, though a number of the military
are still under the impression that they have got that
gun. The rifle issued to the troops is an "improved"
Snider.

The Irish Times states that the Lord Lieutenant and
:he Irish Executive have decided that the militia of

that country shall be called out for training in the
coming spring. The enrolments and re-enrolments will
commence at once.
Instructions were issued to the troops at Aldershot on
Saturday, directing that whenever the newly-issued rifle
is being used on the rifle ranges very great care is to be
taken, and extra precautions are to be observed, on account
of its great range and penetrative power. The men are
to be particularly cautioned that the act of loading puts
the rifle at full cock.

The Hampshire Telegraph publishes a letter from an
officer on board the Jumna, one of the great Indian

troopships, who says there is no difficulty whatever in the
navigation of the Suez Canal, although care is required
and the ship must be nicely handled. When it is neces-
sary there will not be the least difficulty in such ships as
the Jumna carrying a full regiment through the canal as
easily as her first passage was made, with scarcely anyone
on board.
