DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.

The law appointments after a delay altogether
unprecedented in the records of place-filling, are
finally settled. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien is to be the
successor of the late Judge Moore in the Queen's
Bench, and Mr. Henry George Hughes succeeds to
the Solicitor-Generalship in the room of Mr. Chris-
tian, the new judge in the Common Pleas.
The Evening Mail (the Conservative organ),
speaking of Mr. Hughes's promotion, says that in
this appointment the exigencies of party by chance
concur with professional fitness. Mr. Hughes's
success at the bar and his irreproachable character
justify his promotion. Mr. Hughes is a Roman
Catholic.

3.101 th THREATENING NOTICES.
The Wexford Independent contains the follow'
ing reference to the growth of this,systein in itS
neighbourhood :—" We are deeply pained to state
that some villain or villains are endeavouring to,
bring odium on the character of our peaceful and
united county, by erving threatening notices 00
two of the most inoffensive ani respectable gentle'
men resident within our local precincts--the Rev.
Mr. Stokes, of Castlebridge, and Mr. Robert .11,
Carty, of Hollymount. The following is a copy of
a notice served on Mr. Carty, and we have not
words to express our horror and indignation
at the diabolical spirit which must anima*
its atrocious authors :—" Carty, we sent you
a notice in Stoke's letter, for fear that you
did not get it we will serve you with this one.
Peelers are watching you, but we are watching the
peelers as well as you now sir. We do not want to
take you at as short, we do not think it any harm
to take your life when we give you warning so noW
be not deceived for go you will go ; now sir, to tell,
ou how many of us is in this plot, there is 12 01
us in it, and if you offered 2,0001. reward there
will never be any information got of us so noW
Carty there is four more beside you and Stokes tie
go now Carty you need not think that a gun or
your two Sarvant Boys will save you for when the,'
see us they will be under the bed while we are
settling with you.—(Here follows the figure of 0.
coffin.)

SEPOYISM AGAIN AT WORK.
The following seditious placard was removed
from a prominent position on the Parade, Cork, 011
Saturday, and published in the local press :
"Arm ! arm ! arm ! Remember '9B. The sePl
n
has set you a glorious example, follow it, and G°'
def-d the right."
This is written, not printed. The letters ore
large and the writing is good.

ATTACK ON A PRIEST.
Tho Freeman's Journal of this morning coulai°,.
the auuex-d account of a murderous assault mau:
on the parish priest of Castleblayney by a man ivi's•
is reported in a local paper to he a lunatic :—" Tye
Rev. J. IVPIVIeeIe has narrowly escaped assassiZ
tion at the entrance of his own chapel-yard.
the
had only gone a few paces homewards -from t""
chapel gate, where he had been standing with 11
few masons who were engaged in erecting pierl
when he was 'attacked by a man with a large knife
in his hand, who made innumerable thrusts at IP'
person, and succeeded in stabbing him iu ten placet
The wounds were principally received in the b3o_,,
and under the right arm. When the masons hearl
the cries of the priest they ran to his assistance, as
took the assassin into custody, after a desperate re.
sistance on the part of the criminal."
