DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
THE NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Ultramontane Erening Yews gives the fol-
lowing extraordinary piece of intelligence under
the highly appropriate head of "Important Revo-
lutions" :—" It is rumoured this afternoon on
authority that we believe to be beyond question,
that the formal reply of Mr. Cardwell to the address
of the Bishops was received by their lordships this
morning. It announces or proposes the removal of
Mr. M‘Doncl, Chief Commissioner of the Education
Board, to be replaced by Mr. 'John (Megan ; the
removal'of several of the Protestant and foreign
professorsacceptance andiligh officials is sketched for their
lordships' and approval, the successors
to the vacant offices to be Catholics. The rumour
li:a created a profound sensation all over the city,
and of course intense excitement prevails in Alarl-
borough-street. It is needless for us to say, assum-
ing the facts to be as stated, that the Government
has quite mistaken the demands of the Catholics of
Ireland if it thinks such steps likely to appease the
just objection of Irish Catholics to a pernicious
system."

Sir Henry and Lady Flower Every have left the
Brunswick, Jerntyn-street, for the Isle of \Vight.
LOVE, LAW, AND PRYSIC.--At the Westminster
County Court on Tuesday was tried M‘Donald v. Ayck-
bourn, an action to recover £7 15s. Mr. Roberts appeared
for the plaintiff, who is a surgeon, and Mr. Charnock, of
King William-street, for the defendant, who is an attorney.
It was stated that the parties had been very old friends, and
this was a claim for medical attendance on defendant's wife.
It was supposed that the defence would be a belief that
plaintiff intended to attend 'without charging. Plaintiff was
willing to give reasonable advice gratis, but conid not be
expected to give such attendance at all hours of the night,
and for ten hours at a stretch, without the ordinary fees.
ylaintiff proved the attendance upon Mrs. Ayckbourn, who
was in a very dangerous state. In his cross-examination.
he said he had paid great attention to the case. Ho had
"read up" on the subject. He had "read up" the autho-
rules so as not to omit anything. Another gentleman was
called in and refused to attend. Subsequently Messrs.
Jones and Todd attended, and were paid £7. Defendant
had "done" several legal matters for plaintiff without
charge ; and in the present year, at the beginning of if,
plaintiff (defendant's wife being enciente) offered to attend
Mrs. Ayckbourn gra' uitously. Plaintiff often spent. the
evening at defendant's, and preset ibed for defendants wife.
On the 15th March she miscarried, and plaintiff had a., grea
deal of trouble. Did not tell defendant he was golo.ngnt:
charge as other men. Plaintiff had in his account aoai t
