DUBLIN, MONDAY. ENCUMBERED ESTATES.
There is a falling off in the applications for sales io
the Encumbered Commission Court. Within the week
ending on the 2d instant only ten petitions for the
sale of estates were filed, chiefly affecting very small
properties. The total number of petitions is now 1,256.
Tux IRISH LINEN TRADE. The high price of
yarns still operates prejudicially upon the staple trade
of the north. The Banner of Ulster has the follow-
ing report :—" Stocks of linen yarns continue to
accumulate, though since our last there has been a
decline of fully lid. per bundle in linen wefts, and
although the reduction of 3d. per bundle on all tow
yarns has been followed by an increased demand on
the part of manufacturers. It is fully expected that,
under the circumstances of the trade, a considerable
reduction will this month be made in the price of
yarns, unless the old policy of holding over large
stocks,-or of _exporting to the continent, with the re-
solution of taking such prices as can be obtained for
them, be resorted to. In Ballymena, on Saturday
last, cloth was firm and scarce. There were very few
yarns sold. In Armagh, on Tuesday, a similar state of
things existed. It has been stated to us as a fact, that
the quantity of cloth manufactured at this time is less
than that manufactured at the same period last year by
fully one-half. This unhappy position of affairs is
attribbted to the high rate of yarns, and the utter
impossibility, on the part of the manufacturer, to
obtain a corresponding advance: in cloth. The latest
advices from America are not encouraging. Private
letters state.that sales at better prices cannot be ef-
fected, and that there is little likelihood of improve-
ment for some time, if at all. Consignments from
this port to the United States are now extremely
limited, and we understand that some of the more
spirited. of our merchants are refusing to ship except
to order.

THE IRISH BUTTER AND CORN TRADE.—The Lime-
rick Chronicle contains the following :—" The price
of butter in Cork and Limerick markets has advanced
so high as 83s. per cwt. Good news for the dairy
farmers this, showing, too, that pasture in Ireland is
more profitable than tillage. One butter export mer-
chant in Limerick will clear 2,0001. upon his present
stock. The oats shipped from Limerick last month is
estimated in
value at 25,000/."
ISIPORT OF CHEVIOT SHEEP.—The Cork Constitu-
tion says—." 480 Cheviot sheep were landed on Thurs-
day evening from on board the Albert steamer from
Liverpool, for the Earl Shannon. They are small
but, pretty animals, and . active as antelopes. The
flesh is much prized, very similar to our Kerry mut-
ton in flavour."

THE CHIEF SECRETARY IN THE WEST.—The
Galway indicator states that Sir William Somerville,
the chief secretary; is now upon a tour through the
western provinces. lie was in Galway on Friday
last, and visited the Queen's College and other public
institutions. In the evening he left that town, on a
short visit to Mr. O'Flaherty, M.P., and from thence
wiN proceed through Connemara.
THE LATE MURDER IN THE COUNTY DOWN.—
An inquest was held on Friday at the scene of the
murder of John M'Cormack, in the county Down.
The evidence tended to implicate a man named
M'llveen, for whose apprehension a warrant has been
issued. It appeared from the evidence that Wilveen,
some time previously, had evinced symptoms of
jealousy towards deceased, for supposed intimacy with
his wife, and that he bore a grudge towards him
on that account. One of the vatnesses, the Rev. Mr.
Blakely, stated that he looked upon M'llveen as in-
sane, and had previous to the murder spoken about
having him placed in a lunatic asylum. The inquest
was adjourned until Monday week.

AN EXAMPLE FOR THE BISHOP OF
EXETER.
How different from the conduct of Dr. Phillpotts
was that of the venerated Dr Trench, the last Arch-
bishop of Tuam, towards a candidate for ordination,
who held opinions akin to those of Mr. Gorham. A
person of rare talents and devotedness offered him-
self for ordination to the excellent Archbishop in
1832. He had some scruples respecting the word
" regenerate" in the baptismal service, and the
Archdeacon who examined him, declared that he
could not recommend, him for ordination in conse-
quence. But how did the Archbishop act ? Toe young
man•had taken his seat in the church, not expecting
to be admitted to the ministry, but was sent for by
the Archbishop, and what followed is thus described
by the candidate himself :—" I met his ,Grace at the
cathedral door. He oFened it and beckoned me to
follow him. When we came,` into the open
porch, he said to, me, with tears in his, eyes, My
young friend, it, grieves me sorely to see your
prospects thus blighted. We have only a few minutes
to spare; but I feel it my duty to ask you what are
the nature of your objections, and also to endeavour to
remove them if I can. I instantly answered, May
it please your Grace, I cannot consistently with my
opinions teach that water baptism is ipsofacto regede-
ration." Is that your only objection ?' replied bis
Grace. If so, 1 can at once set your mind at res't On
that head. Ido not hold water baptism to be rege-
neration any more than yourself. But you must re-
collect, my young friend,' added the Archbishop,' that
the venerable compilers of our Liturgy never could
compose a service for the unconverted. The language
of the baptismal service, then, is not positive and abso-
lute, but the language of charity, hope, and faith; and
as such you are bound to receive and use it. Is this
Yes, your Grace,' I re-
plied, n,aptieorniescatti
yisfsaoo,tory, ;hen,
said the good man, his
face beaming with benevolence, 'run into the vestry,
put on your surplice, and join the others to be er-
dained.'

DISTRESS
Opinion of counsel, effectual for conveying the property of
not being holograph or probative, is not, in the
51r. Morgan, or setting aside the deeds previously executed
by him ; but the nine incorporated trades of Dundee have
instituted inquiries about the deeds alluded to, and taken
measures for ascertaining their interest in the succession, and
the Town Council have resolved to co operate with them in
these measures.—Caledonian Mercury.
IN THE COUNTY
OF KENT.—Whatever
may be said as to some other counties, we can vouch for
this, on indisputable authority, that there is a far greater
amount of distress now prevalent here than what has been
witnessed for a long time previously. We would auce a
variety of facts, in confirmation—whetber it be in theddmaey
sales of agricul+ural property, or the general depreciation of
trade in the towns and Nillages—but the Parliamentary
returns are •sufficient, showing from the unions themselves
the number of persons receiving relief in the past year.
From these we find that there were nearly 500 more persons
g
receiving relief on the Ist July last, compared with the cor-
responding period last year. Our reit' ers all know the
much greater number receiving relief last year to what
there was in previous years. We cannot refrain from also
referring to the, frightful increase
in daring offences, as
another indication of the extension of pauperism. It is a
favourite notion with the free-traders themselves that want,
more than ignerance, tends to crime. Within the past
two or three years crimes of a desperate nature have fright-
fully increased, especially in agricultural countiea, Canter-
bury journal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
John Hartman was on Saturday brought up for final
examination upon the charge of having committed a
burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Stanley,
proprietor of the Crown Hotel, at Leamington.
The prisoner had been examined on a former day,
when it was proved that some commercial travellers,
who had slept in the Crown Hotel, had been plun-
dered, and that the prisoner had left the house at a
very early hour in the morning, and come by a cir-
cuitous route to London, where, at the Queen's
Hotel, in Aldersgate-street, he was apprehended.
The following is the additional evidence :
Air. John Stanley—l keep the Crown Hotel at
Leamington. I know the prisoner. He came on the
28th of August to my house, and remained there till
Saturday the 31st. He did not retire to bed till near
2 o'clock on the Saturday morning, and he rose again
at half-past four, and went off. He had said nothing
to me about going away at half-past 4 o'clock. When
I got up at half-past 7 o'clock, one of my servants
informed me that some gentlemen in the house had
been robbed, and on inquiry I found that Boots had
let out the prisoner at half •past 4. The prisoner did
not pay his bill before he went. I lost nothing except
the amount of his bill.
Mr. Thomas Keeler, of No. 18, Wood-street,
Cheapside, commercial traveller—l was at Leaming-
ton on the night of the 30th of August. I went to
bed at the Crown Hotel, at half--past ten o'clock. I
had in a brown purse in my pocket two 51. notes, two
or three sovereigns, and a half-sovereign, besides some
loose silver. I lost the money.
Alderman CHALLIS—Did you lock your bedroom
door? Witness—No, but I closed it. In the morn-
ing I missed the contents of my pocket. Everything
else in the room was apparently in the same state as
when I went to bed.
Mr. John Black—l am a manufacturer in Bow-
lane, and was at Leamington on the night of the 30th
of August. I went to bed in the Crown Hotel, at
half-past ten or a quarter to eleven, and had about me
a 51. note and 10 sovereigns. I did not lock my bed-
room door. In the morning I missed the note and
gold. I did not see the prisoner there. I believe he
was mostly in the smoking-room.
The prisoner (to the witness)—Did you know me
while I was as you say at Leamington ? Witness—
No.

The prisoner—Then you should not speak of your
belief.
Mr. Stanley—The prisoner slept next door but two
to Mr. Black's bedroom.
In answer to questions from the Alderman,
Mr. Superintendent Roby, of the Leamington
police, said the prisoner went by the name of Elking-
ton, and be saw the prisoner on the 28th September,
and on the Thursday and Friday following at Lea-
mington.
Mr: Welsh, a commercial traveller from London,
also slept in the Crown Hotel on the 30th, but he
locked his bedroom door and was not robbed.
Alderman CHALLIS then asked the prisoner in the
usual form whether he wished to say anything in
answer to the accusation? The prisoner—Nothing.
Alderman CHALLIS—You stand committed for a
burglary and robbery in the dwelling-house of Mr.
Stanley, in Leamington.
The prisoner—A burglary ?
Alderman CHALLIS—Yes, for a robbery in the
house, and for breaking out of the house.
The prisoner—l bad some little money, four sove-
reigns and some silver, in my possession when I was
apprehended. I wish to have it returned to me.
Alderman CHALLIS—/ shall make no order about
it. Ido not think that it belongs to you.
The prisoner—Why, you convict me at once.
Alderman CHALLIS—I convict you as far as I can.
I commit you for trial, and I believe the evidence will
fully convict you.
The prisoner was then fully committed to Warwick
Gaol for trial, and delivered up to the superin-
tendent.
