THE FEMALE MAN.

At the Cork nomination, the other clay, a Ms. Scannell
presented herself, bedizened with green ribbons, and took
part in the following scene :
Mrs. Scannell : No cheers ; all for the Faynian pri-
soners. They are confined in prison. Three cheers for
the Faynian prisoners. (Cheers.)
Mr. M`Carthy O'Leary, Coomlegane, came forward to
propose Mr. Boyle.
Mrs. Scannell : No Saxon need apply.
A Voice (a supporter of Mr. Boyle's) : For justice's sake
let us be heard. (Hisses.)
Mr. Powell : Mr. O'Leary ought to be heard, at any
rate.

Mrs. Scannell : He is no O'Leary ; he is a Saxon, bad
luck to him ! (And she stood up in an awful fit of rage
attempting to get closer to Mr. O'Leary. As she could not
do this she gratified herself by applying her thumb gracefully
to the tip of her nose, and outstretching her fingers in the
form of a fan, snaking very expressive gestures all the time.
This lit tle amusement was accompanied by a couple of "balls"
as loud as her lungs would allow, and which she accom.
plished with the greatest ease. The spectacle was enlivened
by loud cries to Mr. Boyle to withdraw, and cheers for
Mr. M`Carthy Downing.)
Mr. O'Leary was going on to say that the Church in
Ireland could never have been called a national one, when
he was again interrupted.
Mrs. Scannell : It's fifteen hundred years too late. 'lo
hell with the Saxons.

The shouting and yelling still continued, and after Mr.
O'Leary had made several' attempts to address the
electors, be retired amidst the most awful uproar.
Mr. Nicholas Dunscombe, Kingwilliamstown, came for-
ward to second the nomination of Mr. Boyle. Mrs. Scannell,
who might be called indeed the heroine of the day, here
jumped from the recumbent position she occupied on the
table to her feet, and in a.peremptory tone told Mr. Dons-
combo to shut up. From the continued uproar he ad-
dressed himself exclusively to the reporters, who had to
get up close to him to hear his voice, and Mrs. Scannell,
seeing the unconcerned manner in which he heard her
order to hold his tongue, went round the table, grasping
hats indiscriminately to convert into missiles to hurl at
Mr. Dunscombe.
Mrs. Scannell then made an onslaught on the reporters,
who were taking Mr. Dunscombe's speech, and attempted
to drag them away from the bench.

The reported death of Mr. Charles Moore, one
of the newly-elected members for Tipperary, is con-
tradicted.

Mr. Disraeli has consented to lay the foundation-
stone of the new church of St. Luke, Kentish-town, which
will bo forthwith commenced.

At the Liverpool Police-court on Wednesday Ed.
Osbaldistone was committed for trial at the assizes on the
charge of having, on the previous day, persOnated a voter,
named Dinsmore. The vote was given for Gladstone and
Grenfell, but one of the Conservative agents, to whom
Dinsmore promised his vote, discovered the fraud, and gave
the prisoner in charge. The prisoner said he was induced
by a man who said he " would make it all right," to person-
ate Dinsmore.

Here is a puzzling advertisement which appeared
in the Morning Poe :—" Wanted, situations as Butler and
Cook, or Cook ani Housekeeper, in a Gentleman's Family,
by a Man and his Wife, with good personal characters.
Left last employer on his own account because Mr.
Secretary Walpole, 111:C:, interfered, after eight years'
private service, with advertiser's instructions to Her
Majesty's Commissioners on the 27th of July, 1866, &c.

A statement has appeared in various forms in seve-
ral of the English and Indian papers to the effect that it has
been arranged that Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, Q.C., is to suc-
ceed Mr. Maine, the present legal member of the Indian
Council. A contemporary is authorized to contradict
this statement. A moment's consideration would show that
it cannot be correct. The time of Mr. Maine's return to
England is unfixed, and whenever he retires his office
will be filled up by the Secretary of State for India for the
time being, and no one can tell at present who this

may be.

action of " rebfurd and
Western Railway Company," was tried. On the Bth Nov.
last Lady Beresford left London by the mail train for Edin-
burgh. On arriving at Carlisle the following morning the
guard informed her ladyship that the train would stop
for nine minutes. Lady Berosford was about to alight
with the assistance of the guard, when the train sud-
denly moved on, and her ladysh7p was thrown down
upon the platform, the guard falling upon her. Her
ladyship's spine was injured, and since the accident she had
not the proper use of one of Ler limbs ; she had elso suffered
from crami-, and her eyesight was injured. Before the con-
elusion of the Vaintiff's case, the learned counsel agreed to
terms, and a verdlct was taken for the plaintiff for £1,250.
The apprehensions entertained a 3 to the health of
the Emperor Napoleon seem to be well founded. " Not only,"
says a correspondent, "did be not mount on horse
back and follow the hounds at the grand hunt tl e other day
at Compiegne, but, contrary to his mual practice, he accepted
assistance while getting into and alighting from his car-
riage. At the shooting party ono could see that he
walked with great difficulty and seeming lameness.
On the evening of the cure) a chair was placed for him on
the balcony of the chateau, e n which ho continued seated
until the conclusion of the affair, although the Enu,ress
and Princess of Wales were both standing. At the per-
formance at the theatre too, a night or two afterwards, he
sat with his bead bent forward on his chest the whole time,
seemingly perfectly ioattentivo to everything that Was
going on.
