from the grand jury of the county Down, in which
they express" their utter abhorrence of the foulcon-

of the realm, and their unanimous and firm deter-
mination to support the Executive in any measures
which, in its wisdom, it may think it necessary to
adopt for the purpose of protecting the loyal and
peaceable inhabitants of the country." In his reply
to Col. Forde, M.P., the foreman, his Excellency
stated that these assurances were most acceptable,
and he feels convinced that he could count on their
co-operation and assistance if required.
In all districts where the Fenians appeared in
arms the magistrates are diligently at work receiv-
ing informations against the prisoners, sifting the
evidence, committing for trial at the Commission
those against whom the charges seem to be sus-
tained, and releasing those who are able to establish
their innocence. A considerable number are dis-
charged on giving security to appear when called
on. Dr. Coote is daily employed in this way at Kil-
mainham, where a large number of the Fenian pri-
soners are confined. Yesterday he let off eight per-
sons on their promising " to be of the peace," &e.
Among those he has to examine are 12 prisoners

[ADTERTISEMENT.I IrollaWay'S Pills.—These potent
remedies constitute a materia medica in themselves, for
there is no internal or external disorder controllable by
medicine for which the one or the other of them is not a
positive remedy—eruptions, tumours, scrofula, scurvy,
cancer, asthma, rheumatism, gout and dropsy, entirely
subside and disappear under the action of these joint Me-
dicines, and in cases of indigestion, sick headache, bile,
liver complaints, debility, and other disorders originating
in the internal organs, the pills produce the most astonish-
ing results imaginable. The student of Nature knows how
simple are her ways, if one preparation can throw out all
impurities from the blood, disease is conquered, art trium-
phant, becalm it adopts the simplicity of nature.
