DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
DEATH OF JUDGE WCAN.

Mr. M'Can, one of the judges of the Court of
Bankruptcy, died very suddenly this morning at
Rathbone's Hotel, Kingstown. He presided yester-
day in his court, and then appeared in the enjoy-
ment of good health. The emoluments of the judge-
ship are ,E 2,000 a year. The Hon. Mr. Plunket is
the second': judge, and his retirement has for some
time been spoken of.

A Milan letter of the 9th says :—" An interesting
incident occurred here when the French troops entered this
capital the day before yesterday. The first large body that
arrived had Marshal de MacMahon at their head, and the
municipality went out to receive them. The whole popu-
lation, wild with joy,
.precipitated themselves under the
horses' feet. A little girl of five years of age, dressed in
white, forced by some means a passage, no doubt, aided by
the crowd, and presented to the marshal a bouquet nearly
as big as herself. He raised her up, and placed her stand-
ing before him on the saddle. The child threw her little
arm round the sun-burnt head of the conqueror of Magenta.
and kissed him repeatedly amidst the loudest cheers I ever
heard. The marshal seemed delighted with the child, and
fondled her most tenderly, looking frequently at her pretty
features. And so they both entered Milan amidst a shower
of bouquets and applause. I saw many persons affected
even to tears."

The second exhibition this season of fruits and
flowers took place yesterday at the above gardens.
The day was beautiful, and the display in every
way satisfactory. Other attractions, no doubt, had
the effect of diminishing the numbers who at-
tended, for there were Ascot races and the Royal
Italian Opera Concert at the Crystal Palace to thin
'their ranks; but the company who graced the gar-
dens on this occasion, nevertheless, assembled in
considerable .numbers; Amongst the flowers, the
roses seemed to bear away. the palm, but the fruits
also were in great perfection.
The following were the principal prizes awarded
for flowers and plants :-
