FREE RUSSIA.--The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a
series of "suggestions for a fourth edition of Free
Russia." It says: We promised the author of " Free
Russia " not knowingly to withhold from him the advan-
tage of acquiring a knowledge of his errors. The
appearance of a third edition of the work
chglenges us to make that promise good : but
we are compelled to confess that we cannot redeem
it, and can only do so in a very imperfect, incom-
plete way. We are anxious to assure Mr. Dixon, how-
ever, that we are not wanting in willingness—what we
really lack is space. The third and corrected edition of
" Free Russia " is so abundant in blunder, so
very capable of impregnating the minds of its
readers with error, that to catalogue its
vices in full would blige us to exclude almost all
other matter for the day (which probably would dissatisfy
our readers) or to print a supplementary sheet at a cost
which Mr. Dixon can hardly expect us to incur. There-
fore he must be content if we devote two or three
columns to his service : it is really as much as we can
afford. The Gazette then proceeds to criticise and to
correct.

Lawrence and Margaret Shields, brother and sister,
who were convicted at the last assizes at Tullamore, and
sentenced to death for murdering Patrick Dunne in. Feb-
ruary, near Phillipstown, were executed yesterday morning
within the gaol. The case of the convicts, who had been
recommended to mercy by the jury, was considered by the
Lord-Lieutenant, but the law was allowed to take its
course in consequence of the aggravated character of the
murder.
