Duenerfee, Tr,rEsDA v.—The result of the municipal
elections yesteiefs, does (fit dit to the geud sense, and
judge ent of the citizens, for Percy did t'eey return
their represenieeives in the corpration a body of men
the great reejerity of whom were more likely to
do them credit in point of reepectability of character
and conduct, or good service in the business me-
ntigernent of their municipal affairs, novv become very
impel-tent from the large revenue that will be annually
at their disposal. Indeed no corporation in the em-
pire could put forth to represent it men of more intel-
ligence, worth, wealth, and general respectability, as
distillers, brewers, merchants, and general traders, than
are now fur the most part returned by the citizens
of Dublin. It is only necessary to mention that
amongst them are the names of Roe, Grump, SWk etman
Crosethwaite, Codd, Hudson Hutton, Fineson, Classon,
Campbell, Kelly, Gresham, Yance, Worthington, Kina-
han, Butler, and many others of sufficient number to
insure a majority that will save the character
of the city from the disgrace of any repot
lion of such scenes as the past bear has es
bibited to the world, and ifs funds from being jobbed
for individual or party purposes. Nothing can show
more emphatically the evanescent character of public
favour than the fate of Mr. Maurice O'Connell at
this election. This gentleman, in every way worthy
of being re turned for any ward in the city, and
vi.hot,e father, it may be said, at Ofiw time held
the Parliamentary representation of Dublin in
his pocket, stands now a defeated candidate for
one of the wards which he had publicly, by his address,
canvassed fir the suffrages of the electors. Mr. Rey-
nold:, has had rather a narrow escape. It was said that
he was:sure of being returned for three or four wards, but
only in one does his name appear at all, and there he is
only returned by a majority of tiro over the lowest of
the four euecessfulcaedidates; thatis, each ward returning
four, he is third upon the poll by two. Another striking
instance of fleeting popularity is the rejection of the
aged alderman, and very worthy man, Mr. M`Loughlin,
the most devoted friend to the last of the late Mr. O'Con-
nell. This gentleman had only twenty votes in the
ward for which Mr. Reynolds has been returned, the
lowest successful candidate having polled 195.
The weather has been again very tempestuous in the
last two days, but still the temperature has all through
the month continued of an unusual and almost unprece-
dented mildness.

In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday,
counsel stated that, in the caso of Colonel Van-
deleur against Captain Kennedy, which, on the sug-
gestion of the Court, stood over for au amicable ar-
rangement, no such arrangement had been come
to, and counsel were prepared to go on with the case, but
the Court said that there was noLtime now to hear it,
and the case must stand over till next term.
Mr. Dooley, late paymaster of constabulary, who was
tried and acquitted a few days ago on a charge of em-
bezzlement, but has since been detained in custody under
a Crown extent for 8004 was yesterday liberated on
bail.
Monday next is the day appointed for the new muni-
cipal representatives to assemble and elect a Lord
Mayor for the ensuing year 1851, and Mr. John Rey-
nolds has already announced himself as a candidate for
the office, despite the hundred and one actions pending
against him, and confidently refers, as his claim to the
elevation, to his conduct i❑ his past mayoralty.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES AT CIRENCESTER.—Fresh
remains of the ancient inhabitants of the Roman Corinium
are daily being brought to light by the workmen employed
in digging the foundations of houses, &c., in various parts of
the town. A large quantity of very curious pottery has been
found, chiefly of the pseudo- Samian description, together
with many interesting articles in bronze, glass beads, coins,
&c. A considerable portion of the wall of the ancient town
has also been exposed to view. The pottery is, as usual,
chiefly fragmentary, but it sufficiently shows the treasures
that might be obtained by a well-directed search. Excava-
tions on a large scale are contemplated, and will be under-
taken in the course of the ensuing spring.
ARCHIDIACONAL VISITATION.—On Tuesday morn-
ing last the Rev. Dr. Staunton delivered an address to the
churchwardens of the different churches in this town, at St.
Peter's Church, in which, among other important topic, the
Rev. Speaker gave decided instructions that no fresh vaults
were to be constructed within the walls of the churches, and
no old ones re-opened without express permission from the
Archidiaconal officer. This discontinuance of intramural
interments is a concession to the sanitary spirit of the day of
no slight nature.—Nottingham Review.

THE BRAZILIAN SLAVE TRADE.—(Extract from
the Journal do Commercio, Oct. B.)—The Brazilian war
steamer Urania entered yesterday from a cruise, bringing on
board 208 African slaves and the crew of the brig Rolha, all
captured at Macabe. On the same day the celebrated slave-
merchant Joaquim Pinto da Fonseca bad been arrested and
placed in close confinement, it being discovered that he was
the owner of the brig Rolha, captured by the Brazilian war
steamer Urania. There had been another capture by a Bra-
zilian steamer of war, off St. Catherine's, of a brig, with 120
slaves on board.

A paroquet belonging to a lady, resident at New
Brighton, has laid twenty-nine eggs within the last few
months. _ _

LORD BEAUMONT..—It is very generally rumoured
that this Noble Lord is to be speedily appointed Governor
of Malta. Perhaps this may account in some measure for
the tone and spirit of his letter to Lord Zetland, in which a
Papist figures as adopting the;extraordinary course of approv-
ing and encouraging a No-Popery cry.— Chronick.
Heml-Constable Crowley and Constable Genie left
for Dublin to-day, in consequence of a letter received from a
gentleman in Dublin claiming the large sum of money found
last week on two members of the
i swell mob. The applicant
stated that his pocket was cut off n a railway carriage, and
the money taken, amongst which were some five dollar pieces
foundcorresponding with those in the possession of the pri-
soners, and a 201. note which corresponded with a note found
with the same persons.— Cork Examiner.
He who can smile at the misfortune of being
robbed wins something from the thief. Eliza Cook's Journal
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The Electric Telegraph
Company are progressing rapidly with
their work towards
Brighton. A great portion of the wire is up, and coils of
wire are brought down to within a short distance of Brigh-
ton ready for fixing. Workmen have recently been em-
ployed in preparing the hoards for the wires in Clayton
tunnel. It is the intention of the company, with the sanction
of the Town Commissioners, to carry the telegraph into the
town. Would not the Townhall be an excellent place for the
terminal dial ?

OXPoRD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON
RAILWAY.—During the last fortnight the extraordinary rise
in the shares of this company has been exceedingly rapid,
and the influencing causes has been concealed from the pub-
lic. Indeed, the general opinion appears to be that, if the
rise had any foundation, the arrangements, whatever they
might be, which were likely to benefit the undertaking, have
been carefully kept back for same purpose or other. It is
now stated ou very good authority that the parties who were
referred to in the paragraph, which originally appeared in
the Worcester Herald, as having undertaken to carry out
the line in its integrity, are no other than Mr. Peto and Mr.
Treadw•ell.

N low BRUNSWICK.—A great fire broke out in
Fredericton, New Brunswick, on November 11. Upwards of
one-half of the city was burnt, including a large portion of
the best buildings and places of business, and the spacious
Wesleyan church and parsonage. The fire broke out in a
barn near this church. The Catholic chapel was on fire„but
saved. The insurances were considerable.

vM
COUNTY COURTS.--A further return relating to
the business of the
.County Courts has been published. The
information it furnishes bears on the employment of deputy
judges and the fees of clerks and high bailiffs. During ale
year 1849 the total of the number of the days on which each
fudge sat in person is 7,008, and that of the nnmber of days
when the sitting was by deputy 557, the remuneration for
the services of such deputie3 amounting to 969/. 13s. 2d.
The gross amount of fees received by
.the clerks during the
same period was 70,370/., and their disbursements 34,257/.
The fees of the high bailiffs amounted to 52,274/., and the
amount disbursed for the remuneration of assistants, &c.,
29,8561.
BRITANNIA-BRIDGE.—BANGOR, Nov. 24.—The
sale of materials at the Britannia-bridge was concluded on
Saturday, the weather having been favourable throughout
There was a good attendance of mine owners and others, and
high prices were realised. The proceeds of the sale of ma-
terials have been estimated at about 12,000/. The only arti-
cles unsold are the two large iron pontoons and some large
capstans used at the floatings The hydraulic presses have
been purchased by their makers, the Bank-quay Foundry
Company, Warrington, for the purpose of display at the forth-
coming Exhibition of 1851.
At a certain age, if our borne contains no children'
it will probably be full of follies and vices.—Eliza Cook's
Journal.

LUNAR RAINBOWS.—Lunar rainbows have been
remarkably frequent of late, and, on two cccasions within
the last few weeks. double bows have been seen spanning
across the sky, pale, but remarkably perfect and distinct
The last occasion was on Sunday night, the 17th instant,
when a double lunar bow was observed stretching from
west to north-east. It was first seen five minutes before six
o'clock, and lasted exactly half-an-hour. It was a perfect
double arch, and both bows presented a variety of colours.
The phenomenon was remarkably beautiful.—lnverness
Courier.
