DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY,
THE NEW ELECTIONS. _ _

It is announced, " on authority," that Lord J.
Browne, brother of the Marquis of Sligo, intends
to offer himself as a candidate for the county of
Mayo. Ali hough a Liberal in politics, it is more
than probable ttiat his lot dahip will rec Ave the un-
divid-d support of the Conservative interest,
through whose agency Capt. Palmer was enabled
to become the senior member and colleague of Mr.
G. H. Moore,. The man fur Galway vice O'Fla-
betty, cashiered, is not yet forthcoming ; but
doubtless Colonel French, the veteran young If e-
lalder, will again take the field. Mr. Justice
Perrin has given permis,ion to the Crown Solicit:r
to prepare bills of indictment against the Mayor of
Sligo, two of his deputies, and two poll-clerks, for
a conspiracy to procure the undue return for the
borough of Mr. John Patrick Sornerp.

IVIRRTING OF COAL-WHIPPERS.—Last evening a
crowded meeting of the coal-whippers of the port cf
London was held in the echo, 1-rooms, Johnson-streat,
Back-road, St. George's-in-the-East, in consequence of
the assertions made in evidence before the select com-
mittee of the House of Lords, now sitting on an iaquiry
into the state of the coal-whippers in London. Mr.
Thomas Flinn was called to the chair. He ref: r-ed to
the late order, that no man should be employed from
publicans, and stated that no more than one-half were
engaged from the Coal-whippers' Office. He had a
document pot into his hand, showing that in a case where
a large number of men were emplo3ed the average earn-
ings were lls. 53. a week. Severe' speakers addressed
the meeting, and a resolution was adopted pledging the
meeting to exert itself to remedy the condition of the
body.
DR. WAAGRN'S CHRONOLOGICAL EPIDEMIC.---" In the
Royal Berlin Museum they have endeavoured to arrange
the pictares in chronological order, which can nowhere
be obtained, however, in perfection—certainly not here,
with the scanty means at our di,posal. The division of
the pictures into schonli neither improves the student
nor gives a clear view of the rive and fall of art, nor
does it leave an instructive or agreeable impression
This "chroonlogical epidemic" has produced great and
ridiculous blunders. Frightful daubs have been exhibited
because they were old and fi led up chronologies; gap,.t
Of what use can it be to see that in the age of Fiesole,
Francis, Raphael, Rubens, and Van Dyck, there were
daubers also at work, who in their time were no more
eatterned to be artists than our carriage and house
painters. Daubs of" this description abou, din the
Berlin Museum.
