It may not be generally known that the prize of
honour at the grand distribution at the Sorbonne
exempts from the conscription and all the fees of
examination and inscription in the various faculties.
The Minister of War having been consulted as to
what localities were proper for firing salvoes of hon-
our or rejoicing has decided that they are not to
be permitted except in places where there are a troop
of artillery and the necessary material, and that in
no case ought they to be attempted where there
would be a necessity for recurring, for the service of
the pieces, to other than trained artillerymen.

DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning,

The Rev. Mr. M'Cabe, whose name was signed to tho
programme of the ceremonial and public procession with
which it was proposed to celebrate the arrival of Cardinal
Cullen on Monday next, writes to the Freeman's Journal,
stating that the programme was intended for private circu-
lation only, and that the idea of having a procession has
been given up. The reason stated by Mr. M'Cabe is, that
it is feared "that our fellow-citizens, who differ from us
in religion, might take as an offence to themselves what
was merely intended as a compliment to a most distin-
guished prelate."

The decision to which the Rev. Mr. 31‘Cabe and the
principal Roman Catholic clergymen of Dublin have come
with respect to the intended demonstration has given
great satisfaction to those who remember the processions
on the occasion of the foundation of the Roman Catholic
University being laid, and the, complete interruption of
business which occurred when the firs stone of the
O'Connell monument was placed in Sackville-street.

The Maharajah of Johore has visited Dublin, and: yes-
terday witnessed a review of the troops in garrison in the
Phoenix Park. He also paid visits to Sir Thomas Larcom,
Under Secretary, to the Lord Chancellor, and to other dis-
tinguished personages. To-day he proposes visiting the
demesnes of Lord Powerscoutt and the Earl of Meath, and
had in consequence to decline an invitation to be present
at a review of the troops quartered in the Curragh camp.
It is believed that the stay of his highness will be limited
to another day, -when ho intends visiting Belfast, and
thence proceeding to Scotland.

It is rumoured that the authorities are in possession of
important evidence in reference to the murder of Clarke
on the banks of the Royal Canal. The prisoner Carney,
it is said, will not be tried at the commission of Oyer and
Terminer, which will be opened to-morrow by Chief Justice
Whiteside and Chief Justice Monahan.

Another case of cholera occurred on Monday evening in
the Liberties. The woman who was attacked died within
twelve hours.

The Bishop of Tuam, Lord Plunket, is said to be out a

danger.

MARKETS.—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts in
good condition. All breeds were in request, at full quota-
tions. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s Gd per 81bs.
The show of sheep was by no means extensive, whilst the
mutton trade was firm, at fully Monday's currency. The
top figures were 5s 10d to 6s per Blbs. Lambs moved off
steadily, at from 68 8d to 7s 8d per 81bs. Calves were
steady, at very;full prices,viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d por Blbs.
The inquiry for pigs was heavy, at late rates.
