Sir Dominick Corrigan has retired from the posi.
tion which he held as physician to the House of In-
dustry Hospitals. It was filled on Thursday, when
Dr. Lyons, Professor in the Catholic University,
and physician to the College of llaynooth, was
chosen by a majority of one. The following notices
from the Cork Examiner, proves that Dr. Lyons is
a man of great eminence in his profession :
" Dr. R. D. Lyons, the gifted son of the late Sir William
Lyons, of this city, was on yesterday appointed physician to
the Richmond Hospital, Dublin, in succession to Sir Domi-
nick Corrigan. There were three candidates seeking for
this appointment, which may be termed the blue riband '
of the medical profession in Ireland. Dr. Lyons stands, by
general consent, in the very foremost rank of his honourable
profusion; and indeed scarcely any man of his years hacl
attained so many honours, the more valuable as they wore
the result of sheer unassisted merit. It will be remembered
that Dr. Lyons was appointed chief of the Pathological
Commission, whose duty was to investigat the diseases
affecting the army then in the Crimea ; and for his eminent
services in that critical period he was awarded with the,
Crimean and Turkish medals, and the clasp for Sebastopol.
At a subsequent period he received from the King of Por-
tugal the Knight Commandership of the Order of Christ in
recognition of the services he rendered to science by his in-
vestigations into the phenomena of that most terrible
scourge of humanity—yellow fever. His contributions to
the literature of medical science have earned for him a.
world-wide reputation. We may remark that his work on
fever is now a standard authority with regard to the treat-
ment of that disease, and Las, as well as his other works,
been eulogised by the loading medical reviews of 'Europe
and America. We may add that his personal merits in AO
small degree enhance his professional reputation."
The Times of July 28, 1856, spoke of the labours
of Dr. Lyons in the following terms :
" The results are singularly valuable, for they apply not
only to the Crimean army, but if founded on just reason-
ing must be a guide to the military authorities in any u-
ture campaign. Tho principle which the Commissioner
has drawn from these facts is of the highest importance.
The report will no doubt furnish valuable suggestions for
the conduct of any future campaign."

ing terms, describes the scene at the Tuileries when
I the Queen, her grey locks contrasting with the fire
of her eyes and the animated flush of her cheek,
said to the King, in language worthy of the grand-
daughter of Maria Theresa and the niece of Marie
Antoinette, " Go and show yourself to the dis-
heartened troops and to the irresolute National
Guard. I will place myself in the balcony with my
grandchildren and my daughters, and will see you
die in a manner worthy of yourself, of your throne,
and of our common misfortunes." When the King
declared his intention of abdicating she rebuked
him with passionate earnestness. She cared not,
she said, what was said in or out of the
Tuileries, but in her estimation revolution was
ever a crime, and abdication a cowardice. " Sire,"
she concluded energetically, " a King should never
lose his crown without making an effort to defend
it." According to Lord Normanby's report, her
words were :—" Sire ! n'abdiquez pas ; montez a
cheval, mettez vous a la tete de vos troupes, et je
prierai Dieu pour vous." When, however, resistance
was too late, the Queen subsided again into the wife,
and prepared to accompany her husand in his me-
lancholy
flight. Worn out by contending emotions
and anxieties, site fell senseless to the ground in the
attempt to step into the carriage. Soon recovering,
she accompanied the King to Evreux, where she
separated from him for safety. She rejoined him
afterwards at Honfleur, and shared the difficulties
of his passage to England. In the quiet seclusion
of Claremont she devoted herself to the task of
soothing the regrets and cheering the heart of the
King. In 1850 she received his last breath.
The only public matter in which the Queen took
an interest during her residence in England was
the proposed coalition and fusion of the two
branches of the House of Bourbon. The Legiti-
mist partialities of the Queen induced her to
advocate, on certain conditions, a fusion which,
it is well known, was successfully opposed by the
Duchess of :Orleans. This difference of opinion
did not in the slightest diminish the feeling of
reverential love which the Duchess ever enter-
tained towards the Queen ; and her daughter-in-
law's lamented death, as well as that of the Queen
of the Belgians, that of the Duchess of Nemours,
and, lastly, that of the King of the Belgians, have
been the bitterest afflictions suffered by the Queen
in her later days. She was, however, consoled in
her old age by the affectionate solicitude of the
numerous family still surviving, and by seeing her
children's children's children spring up about her.
Not only did she enjoy the affection of her children, '
but also—what was very precious to her—she won
the hearts of all the poor people among whom she
lived. She was one of the most benevolent of
women, and though she was a strict Catholic, a
Catholic of the strictest Neapolitan type, she re-
garded xo distinction of faith in her charities. To
all who needed her aid she was ready with help, and
everywhere about Esher the name of the good
French Queen is pronounced with affection and
veneration.
As on the 26th of next month she would have
completed her 84th year, it can scarcely be said that
the death of the Queen is unexpected, and yet she
died in comparative health. Two days before her
decease she had a carriage drive. The day before
she was up as usual, with this only difference, that,
feeling rather exhausted, she went to bed in the
evening earlier than was her wont. She passed a
restless night. On Saturday morning she said,
" Je sills mieux"—her last words—and fell asleep.
In that sleep she died, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon.
She was spared the pain of consciously encounter-
ing death ; also the pain, which to her motherly
nature would have been very grievous, of parting
with her children. She has thus ended, without
suffering, a life of much suffering ; and death came
to her like a courtier, with the amenity of sleep.
The late Queen bad five sons and three daughters.
Her brother succeeded to the throne of Naples, and
was the father of the famous Bomba. Her four
sisters were married respectively to the Emperor of
Austria, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Charles Felix,
King of Sardinia, and Ferdinand VII., King of
Spain.

The Fenians.

IREL AND.

DUBLIN, March 24.

The arrests for Fenianism have been very few for
some days past. A man named Flannaghan, teacher
of a national school, has been taken up on suspicion
at Trim, county Meath, and lodged in gaol. Sub-
constable Dunne has identified Ryan, who was
arrested on Wednesday in the Galtee Mountains by
Sub-inspector Cruise, as being one of the parties
who fired at the police at Glenbane, swearing that
it was the prisoner whom he saw at the door when
the lights were put out, and that it was he who told
the police to come in when the shots were fired. Ryan
has been recommitted by Mr. C. De Gernon, R.M.
At the Castlebar petty sessions on Thursday, two
young men named Carter and Hanley, charged with
complicity in the Fenian conspiracy, were let out on
small bail. There are still 17 Fenian prisoners in
the gaol of that town.
The grand jury of Galway assembled at the assizes
have adopted an address to the Lord-Lieutenant, as-
suring him that the vigorous determination of her
Majesty's Government to suppress conspiracy and
rebellion meets with their full approbation. They
regard with abhorrence an attempt levelled against
law, property, and religion, and are prepared to give
every aid in their power to the Queen's Government,
to resist attempts which, though impracticable and
insane, are fraught with the most pernicious conse-
quences as regards the well-being of this country.
Among the agencies actively and extensively em-
ployed by the conspirators was the very potent one
of circulating and singing seditious songs, especially
among soldiers. A private named Flynn, belonging
to the 3d Buffs, stationed at Longford, was recently
found engaged in this practice at a publichouse,
swearing at the same time that he was a real Irish-
man and would fight as an Irishman. His miscon-
duct was reported by some of his comrades, and an
order was received yesterday from headquarters,
directing that he should be tried by court-martial,
with the view of putting a stop to this practice.
Sir Hugh Rose has also issued the following general
order :

Under all the circumstances, the action of the
Canadian Government, in calling out ten thousand
volunteers, must be looked upon as reasonable
enough. It was evident, immediately upon the re-
ceipt of the news of the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act in Ireland, that Fenianism would
become so aggressive here as to compel prompt and
vigorous action in Canada. The provincial autho-
rities know that little or nothing is to be feared
from O'Mahony ; Sweeney's theory is the least im-
practicable, and Sweeney has the confidence of the
real fighting men of the " Brotherhood"—the
Fenians of the West. These Fenians are, so to
speak, on the ground ; hundreds of their " circles"
hold meetings and drill within sight of Canadian
territory. They have several sloops and schooners,
now ice-bound at Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit,
and Toledo ; but these are being " fitted up ;"
Fenians openly meet upon them, discuss " plans
of operation," and appoint " officers in the Irish
navy." Two months hence navigation will be
resumed. What if, in the meantime, Fenian
raiders should secure and hold the water way to
the St. Lawrence ? These vessels would be at
liberty to slip out, rendezvous at some point
in the possession of the e depart upon
armament, and thence at a given twan.

" Soldiers have been lately convicted and punished for
singing songs containing seditious and traitorous words.
It is against every rule of good order and military discipline
that a soldier should have in his possession seditious songs
or documents; and should hereafter any soldier be found to
have such in his possession, he will be immedi•.tely brought
to trial for disobedience of orders.

~ This success continued for fully ten days. The fish
taken weighed, generally speaking, from 141 b to 181 b; but
in a few instances salmon of 241 b, and even 281 b, were
taken. One fisherman took £lO worth of salmon in two
tides. There has, for a few days past, been a decrease in the
number to a considerable extent ; yet they have high hopes
of a first-rate season, as they know the fish are in the river.
The price given here by factors and salesmasters to the
fishermen is ls. Bd. per lb. Most of the fish—in fact, nearly
all—are bought up for the Dublin markets. Last year a
large quantity was shipped to Liverpool."

The New York correspondent of the Herald
says :—Fenianism grows more formidable every day.
By the precipitate action of your Government
division of Fenian counsels has been transmuted
into duplication of Fenian strength. We hear no
more of the bickerings of the two factions. The
leaders are still Roberts and O'Mahony, Sweeney.
and Killian, and these men probably have inte-
rested and antagonistic motives ; but the Fenian
body is an unit. The West sends its money and
its promises of adhesion to Roberts ; the East to
O'Mahony. But `Vest and East alike demand a
movement against the " British oppressors." Every
considerable town and village has its " circle.,"
which holds a weekly meeting. Many of the
" circles" meet twice a week. The larger cities have
several " circles ;" New York has 53, which adhere
to O'Mahony, besides several which acknowledge
the leadership of Roberts. Many of the " circles"
devote from $2,000 to $3,000 regularly every week.
No Fenian in good standing gives less than $1
weekly to the fund. The two Fenian treasuries
receive not less than $400,000 weekly in contribu-
tions. Irishmen do not monopolise the emoluments
due to subscriptions to the Fenian loan. After the
great Fenian meeting in Brooklyn, on Wednesday
evening, a committee of Fenians waited on the
Board of Aldermen then in session, soliciting in-
vestment in the Fenian " securities." Every
alderman subscribed for $lOO worth of bonds. The
board is composed of 20 aldermen—five Irishmen,
seven Germans, and eight Americans. The receipts
at the head-quarters of Fenianism in Brooklyn on
Thursday were something over $412,000. At a
Sweeney meeting in the neighbouring city of
Hoboken on Thursday evening $l,OOO were contri-
buted by the audience. A public Fenian meeting
in the village of Poughkeepsie in the same evening
brought $5OO to the Fenian Fund. In one week
in the little village of Waterbury, Conn., the
sum of $1,350 has been collected for the " cause."
A manufacturer in Newark presented the
Sweeney " circle" of that town with equipments
for a thousand men. The western papers teem
with accounts of Fenian meetings, with the
inevitable subscriptions. Twenty-one " circles"
of Chicago last week contributed $37,000
to the Fenian fund. The city of Chicago
has given alone (in all its contributions) more than
$2,000,000 to the Fenian treasury. From a copy
of the Cincinnati Commercial, I learn that within
the week $4,000 have been raised in Columbus,
$2,700 in Cleveland, $3,100 in Toledo, $l,lOO in
Bucyrus, $950 in Akron, $827 50c. in Dayton,
$7BO in Marietta, and amounts ranging from $350
to $l,OOO in about thirty other places, with $ll,OOO
and something over in Cincinnati—all in Ohio.
The Louisville Journal gives a report of a Fenian
meeting in Louisville, in which allusion is made
to subscriptions varying from $2OO to $BOO by
nearly twenty towns in Kentucky. The St. Louis
papers mention the subscriptions by St. Louis
" circles" as reaching the weekly (average) sum of
$20,000. Hundreds of towns in Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana—all the western
States, in fact—are sending in weekly contributions,
running from $8 or $lO, probably as the lowest, to
amounts only to be named with four figures. The
aggregate must be enormous. I have thrown toge-
ther these few facts without any attempt at connec-
tion, confident that they will speak for themselves.
