IRELAND.

DUBLIN, May 20.

In the case of "The Queen v. Stephen J. Meany"
the Court of Appeal delivered -judgment on Satur-
day evening. The prisoner had been convicted at the
last ordinary Commission of Oyer and Terminer of
the crime of treason felony. It had been proved at
the trial that the Fenian conspiracy, of which he was
a member, existed both in America and this king-
dom, and that the prisoner had committed overt acts
of treason felony in America, but no overt act was
proved against him iu the county of the city of Dub-
lin, in which he was tried, or anywhere else in this
kingdom. Questions raised on behalf of the prisoner
at the trial had been reserved by the learned Judges
for this Court, as to whether the conviction was
good under the circumstances. All the Judges sat,
with the exception of Mr. Justice Morris, Mr.
Justice George, Baron Deasy, Mr. Justice Fitz-
gerald, Baron Hughes, Chief Justice Monohan,
and the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench were for
upholding the conviction. Mr. Justice O'Hagan,
Baron Fitzgerald, Mr. Justice O'Brien, Mr. Justice
Keogh, and the Chief Baron Pigott decided in
favour of the prisoner. The conviction therefore is
affirmed by a majority of one.
In the case of " The Queen v. Mulcahy," which
is to be brought before the House of Lords, Mr.
Butt moved that the fees, amounting to £59, be re-
mitted. The Solicitor-General opposed the motion,
and judgment is to be given on Tuesday.

The health of the convict Burke is giving way
rapidly, He was very ill during the week, and it
was reported yesterday, but without foundation,
that he was dead. He is not likely to live till the
day appointed for hiS execution, the 29th inst..
Aylward still refuses to give any information re-
specting the persons by whom he was attacked. As
law clerk, he was in the employment of a gentleman
who is Crown Solicitor for a southern county, and
the Fenians, it appears, believed that information
was conveyed to the Government through him.
About 1,000 persons walked in proce-ssionyester-
day at the funeral of a Fenian prisoner named
Richard Stowell, who had been released from Naas
Gaol on account of his illness.
The four mail steamers plying between Kingstown
and Holyhead are now all off the line. The Con-
naught lies at Liverpool, getting in new boilers; the
Leinster is in the Dublin Graving dock, under re-
pair; the Ulster is laid up at Kingstown with her
valyea damaged and the Munster is in liol),head in

VENECG.
John M'Cafferty, found guilty of high treason,
was sentenced to death this morning by Mr. Justice
Fitzgerald. The prisoner said he was found guilty
cal the evidence of one witness, and that witness a
perjured informer. He sympathised with the Irish
people, and would again join them if they had any
prospect of independence, but would not give his
tanction to the useless effusion of blood. He would
go to his grave as a gentleman and a Christian.
The judge said that the verdict wa3 just, and lie
could hold out no hope that the sentence would be
mitigated. The 12th June is the day fixed for the
execution.

Be-election of Mr. Gathorne Hardy for
Oxford University.

OXFORD, Monday,
A convocation was held this morning at ten
o'clock, for the purpose of electing one burgess to
represent this university in Parliament in the place
of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, who had vacated
his seat by accepting the office of one of her Ma-
jesty's principal Secretaries of State.

The Vice-Chancellor (the Warden of all Souls'.
College) presided over the convocation, and was at-
tended by the Provost of Oriel, the President of St.
John's, the Venerable the Provost of Queen's, the,
Venerable Archdeacon Clerk, the Warden of Alm
-
ton, the Warden' of New College, the senior and
junior proctors, Professors Burrows and Wall, Dr.
Kenyon, Rev. R. Mitchell (public orator), Revs. T.
Short, W. West, G. S. Ward,- F. Merrick, and Dr.
Rowden, registrar of the university. Several ladies
and a few undergraduates were also present ; but
on the whole the proceedings appeared to excite
comparatively little interest.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR opened the proceedings
by stating briefly, in Latin, the special object for
which this convocation had been convened.

The REGISTRAR then read .the precept for pro-'
ceedink to another election, and the statutes laying
down the penalties liable to be incurred by any at-
tempt to commit biibery steorlaption.
The VICE thwicEttou then inquired if any
member of convocation desired to put in nomination
any candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of the Right lion. LT'athorne hardy;
whereupon
The PROVOST of ORIEL proposed, in a short Latin
speech, the re-election of Mr. Hardy.

The PRESIDENT of ST. JOHN'S seconded the nomi-
nation, and read a Latin address in support of it.
The VICE-CITANCELLOR then inquired if any
member of convocation desired to put any other can-
didate in nomination, but after a short pause, and
there being no response to the question, the Vice-
Chancellor declared Mr. Hardy duly elected. The
official return was then signed and sealed, after
which the Vice-Chancellor dissolved the convoca-
tion, the whole proceedings haring occupied just
11 minutes.

Mr. Hardy was not present, as it is contrary to
etiquette in the case of an election of a representa-
tive for the university for a candidate to be on the
.spot, or to take part in the proceedings. After the
election has been notified in an official manner, it is
customary for the newly elected representative to
call on the resident members of convocation and
leave his card, returning thanks for the honour con-
ferred on him.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

PLYMOUTH, May 20.

The Union Company's steamship Celt arrived
here this evening with 118 passengers and £6,430 in
specie. Her dates are Table Bay, April 19 ; St.
Helena, April 27 ; and Ascension, May 1.
Besides her usual cargo the Celt brings two live
koodoos, the first of this species of antelope brought
to England, and a sdecimen of some stones found
in the Orange River, pronounced in the colony to be
diamonds. This stone, sent home by the Colonial
Government to be tested, is said to be worth £5OO,
and when cut and polished will be worth £BOO.
The Cape Parliament was opened by the Gover-
nor on thel3th ult. His Excelleocy's speech—along
address—commenced with explaining in a very con-
ciliatory tone that the Government had no wish to
take up a position of antagonism to the Parliament,
nor to show a want of respect for the two houses.
Neither was the Govetnment actuated by hostility
or insincerity in the matter of retrenchment. The
speech proceeded to state that the Government had
accepted the decision of the Parliament to adopt re-
trenchment, and were willing to give effect to that
measure in detail to the best of their ability. It also
set forth particulars of various reductions in the Go-
vernment departments. It proposed including a re-
commendation to shorten the periods of imprison-.
ment of native criminals and to reduce their diet, in
order to render the punishment equally disagreeable.
A reduction of the expenSe of the frontierpolice his
Excellency considered impracticable.
With the reductions proposed to be carried out he
estimated there would still remain a deficiency of
£59,000 per annum of expenditure over revenue. To
meet this the Government proposed a moderate duty
on exports, particularly wools, the leasing of the
Crown lands, an increase of the inland postage, and
the issue of a Government paper currency. It also
proposed the abolition of the present Houses of Par-
liament and the division of the colony into six
electoral circles, each to return three members. To
these 18 to be added three officers of the Executive
Government, the whole to- form the only Legisla-
tive Chamber. The Governor also announced, in
reference to the contribution towards the expense of
the troops in the colony, that in 1868 one regiment
must be paid for at the rate of £4O per man ; and
that 1869 two regiments must be paid for, and for
the three following years, at the rate of £4O for
every infantry soldier and £7O for every artillery-
man iu the colony.
The Governor's speech was favourably received,
but many points it suggests are not expected to be
carried. _ _

An Orange Free State commando, sent to drive
off the Basutos from the disputed territory and to
destroy their crops, had killed about 25 of the Ba-
sutos in so doing.
Bishop Gray had expressed a desire to obtain
from all the clergy of Natal their decision as to
whether they were prepared to receive Mr. Butler
as their bishop, and recommended them to poll the
communicants, male and female, to ascertain who
would receive Mr. Butler and who would repudiate
him.
Dr. Colenso had issued a pastoral, addressed to
the clergy and laity, announcing that now it had
been ascertained that there was to be no appeal
from Lord Romilly's judgment, the time had come
for him to vindicate his authority for maintaining
order in his Church. He bid the clergy, if they
thought him in error, to teach what they them-
selves believed, but required due canonical obe-
dience.

Professor Holloway has discovered a medicine capable of

placed it within the reach of the poorest. His pill guard
the constituents of the blood, which, when contaniinated or destroyed, permits fevers, inflammations, and other ma-
ladies to run riot through and undermine the system, or
consign their victims to untimely tombs. In malarious
