COUNTERMAND OF TROOPS IN IRELAND.—For some
weeks past, there has been a gradual diminution of the
military force congregated in Ireland at the period of
the State trials. We mentioned, on Saturday, that two
regiments, the 60th Rifles and the 61st Foot, were under
orders at Cove, awaiting the arrival of transports to em-
bark for India. Those transports have arrived, but we
learned this morning, from a source of unquestionable
authority, that an order has been forwarded from the
Horse Guards, and by this time has probably reached
Cove, suspending the departure of both regiments. The
inference is, that their services may, possibly, be re-
quired much nearer home than India.—Dublin Evening
Post.

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.--A piece of news has
reached us, and appears exclusively in the columns of this
journal. We can pity, but not describe, the state of the
poor Morning Post on reading the intelligence. There
is a female revolution in Paris. All flounces are to be
cut off ladies' gowns. All gowns are to be made very
short. Above all—all elastic crinoline petticoats are to be
abolished. Since July, 1830, a change so startling has
not occurred in Europe.—Punch.
ACCIDENT TO MR. EDWIN LANDSEER —On Sun-
day afternoon this distinguished artist, whilst riding
along Porchester-terrace, was thrown with great violence
from
stumbling. He fell on his head, which was severely cut
and bruised. He was carried to the house of Mr. Lin-
sell, the painter, where surgical assistance was speedily
afforded him, after which he was conveyed to his own
residence in St. John's-wood. He is still suffering from
the effects of the accident, but we are happy to hear that
no ill consequences are apprehended from it.
FIGHTING MISSIONARIES.—It is a pity that Exeter
Hall should ever be confounded with Woolwich Arsenal.
A pity is it, that a fabric expressly built and dedicated
to the gatherings of Christian charity—where she pleases
to call her working children, the bright ones of the earth,
together—should be made to " smell woundily of gun-
powder." But so, within these few days, it has been.
A meeting of the London Missionary Society has been
held at the Hall, for the purpose of considering the
naughty doings of the French blusterers at Otaheite;
and the means proposed to meet the wrong committed
was, to do further wrong. The best remedy for the
wound was a gunpowder plaster One reverend gen-
tleman proved that he had been misplaced by fate—
certes, he should have been a post-captain, and not a
meek, black-coated preacher of the Christian mission--
for, with a quickness worthy of Sir Charles Napier, he
enumerated the English naval force off Otaheite, indig-
nantly compared it with the force of France on the same
station, made a bold joke about Jack Ketch, and finally
implied the necessity of sending Mr. Pritchard back to
his consulate, with all the hubbub and glory of shot and
gunpowder. For our own part, we think the lips of
Christian charity all-sufficient to settle the difference;
and should be very loth to call in the teeth of a man-of-
war. If, however, the London Mission think otherwise,
we would earnestly counsel them to address themselves
to Captain Warner, whose secret is still in the market;
and who, doubtless, if only to spite Peel and the other
unbelievers, would be very happy to treat with the
peace-loving men of Exeter llall for a reasonable remu-
neration, Thus, with the London Mission possessed of
Warner's secret, they might disseminate practical bene-
volence by means of the long range, and insinuate true
Christianity among the heathen by the invisible shell.—
Punch.

THE Mooas.—The moors in Wigtownshire are
-very much above an average in game this year, but the
birds are strong and wild, and in consequence of the
variable weather, such large bags have not been made
as might have been expected. A party of five, on Lord
Stair's moors in New Luce parish, bagged 63 brace on
the 12th by five o'clock—one of them (Robert Fergus-
son, Esq.) bagging 22 brace, shooting alone. Since then
the same party hue killed 115 brace.—.Ayr Observer,
