These two publications may be classed among the
" pretty" music novelties on our table. Is youth
and a good complexion form a warrant to apply the
same adjective to a young lady, so a fresh
title and smooth flow of notes constitute
the claims in most of our modern ballads.
Of the two before us we prefer "Deep in the
Forest." The air is pleasing and easy, and well
adapted to the powers of medittm voices. The
words might have been somewhat better, but pro-
bably the title of the second ballad was not in the
posseosion of the writer of the first. The songs are
elegantly got up, and we can recommend them to
the notice of those who admire the "pretty" style
of composition.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
TILE SADLEIR FAMILY.

A Tipperary paper (the Vindicator) states, as
general rumour, that Mr. James Sadleir, who
stands charged by the Master of the Rolls as being
a principal in the gigantic frauds and swindles of
his brother John, has fled to Sweden or Norway,
where, in the absence of an international law, the
fugitive is safe from arrest. The Vindicator
adds :
" A deputation calling on Mr. James Sadleir to re-
sign his seat in Parliament could scarcely find his where-
abouts under these circumstances ; and he has not, it
would appear, intimated a desire to give up his place in
the House of Commons, notwithstanding the disgraceful
situation he occupies in the regards of the whole
world. Until recent revelations developed plunder
unprecedented in the annals of villany, it was believed
that Mr. James Sadleir possessed no guilty acquaint-
anceship with the robberies of his late brother. The
fact now appears to be otherwise ; and though it was
asserted and believed, before the production and pub-
lication of the astounding letter of John, that James was
anxious for the fullest inquiry into his own conduct
in relation to the Tipperary Bank, &e., and though it is
asserted he made exculpatory revelations to Master
Murphy, he now, however, speeds his way from judi-
cial investigation, and taking precautions to keep his
person out of the reach of the officers of justice is con-
veyed north -cards, it is supposed, in a vessel employed
for that purpose. Meantime the country does not move!
Discontent, bitterness, and anger are widespread.
Those who confided are basely betrayed. Those who be-
lieved it impossible that guilt could have attached to
James Sadleir now discover he bears a great part in the
felonious transactions of his late brother. Those who
initiated the movement for the county meeting are ap-
prehensive that there may be some hesitation or want of
unanimity in naming a candidate. They have thought
it better, therefore, to leave matters to their course for
the present."
Speaking of the recent revelations concerning
the Kingston property, the Nation observes that
the case of the Earl of Dredlington, in the hands
of Oily Gammon—that most perfect prototype of
John Sadleir—is a poor thing in comparison with
the real unfortunate earl, who has been for the last
ten years the victim of vampires :
" The Kingstons (continues the Nation) are a family
more or less fond of follies for the last three or four
generations. One of them published a book upon
Mexico so superbly printed, so magnificently illustrated,
so gorgeously got up, that a copy could not be sold for
less than 100 guineas. Another built a fine square of
almshouses for decayed gentry, which is the first charge
upon the remaining estate. In the utter decay of the
plundered family, this very place seems likely to be the
fate of some of its members. The last lord but one
built, at most extravagant expense, one of the grandest
castles in all Ireland. It sits in its stately splendour
on a fair, oak-studded hill fronting the Galtee moun-
tains. The quaint Moorish tower and long buttress
wall, the rich library, the lofty baronial hall, the
chamber that was laid for a king, the garden that
has grown into a wilderness of exotics, have
taia
there for years and years, as much Mr. John Sai,c!•-
leir's tenement as his chamber in 'the Albany or ..IS
office in Great Denmark-street. He bad given the
key of the place, the run of the demesne, and the
sweating of the tenants to a young gentleman, some
distant cousin of his—a very pretty fief for one of
that omnivorous clan. And now this strange Mitchell-
town mystery will be unfolded—how the old lord was
induced to sign the documents, binding himself as help-
' lessiy in John Sadleir power as it lie were his born
bold slave ; and what became of the princely revenues
of that splendid estate, the rents, and the fines on the
liberal leases that helped, it was said, to get John Sad-
leir a good tenant-right character in the county of Cork ;
and the loans that were never paid by the Tipperary
Bank, and Cie loan that was paid by the Insurance
Company to the Tipperary Bank, and that sank there
as water sinks in a sieve—all this, in various romantic
detail, will doubtless appear."

ORDER OF ST. PATRICL.
There are now three ribands vacant by the deaths
of the Earl of Listowell, Lord Carew, and the Earl
of Cork—all, by the way, general supporters of the
present Government, and in all seasons consistent
advocates of Liberalism.

RELEASE OF MR. JOHN CARDEN.
On Thursday, as already announced, the gates
of Clonrnel gaol were thrown open for the egress of
Mr. J ohu Carden, of abduction notoriety, who pro-
ceeded on horseback, as privately as possible, to .1.110
Limerick junction, en route to Cork, where he is
to remain for a few days to brush up, then to re-
turn to Barnane, and afterwards to go to the conti-
nent on a visit to a relative. Mr. Carden, it is
said, appeared pale and careworn after his pi !o-
tracted incarceration. While in Clonmel prix. 511
he was engaged principally in artisan pursuits
carpentry generally, and he made a considera.ble
variety of small articles which exhibited ranch itr.
genuity.
