DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING .—ROYAL RESIDENCE
IN DUBLlN.—Arrangements have already commenced
for fitting up the Phcenix Park, embracing an area of
some hundreds of acres, as' a residence for the Queen
and Royal Family, during occasional visits to this
country, after the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenaney.
There are in the Park at present three residences—
for the Lord-Lieutenant, and Chief and Under- Se-
cretaries. That occupied by his Excellency is in-
tended for her Majesty, but it will require consider-
able change and extension. It is understood that the
Chief and Under-Secretaries for Ireland, to be ap-
pointed under the Act for the abolition

who approve of the measure, on the ground that it
is calculated to produce a more effective system of
government in this part of the United Kingdom,, and
to paralyz3 local factions. Four or five years ago,
the mere proposal of such an arrangement have
produced a storm of agitation ; but famine

would
and
dis-
tress, combined with the phantom of
1848, have left no materials for a political ferment.
The Northern Whig of this day refers with great
satisfaction to the intended discontinuance of the office
of Irish Viceroy. That journal, which fairly repre-
sents public sentiment in Belfast, rejoices that " there
is soon to be an end to that mimic, and mock, and
paltry court in Dublin, which has long been a centre
of and excitement to vanities, little ambitions, endless
political intrigues, and frettings, turnings, and
schemings not to be counted ;" and that " we are at
length to be raised from provincial degradation to
imperial dignity, and the enviable position of being
part and parcel of the empire." The same journal
adds :—" It is most appropriate that a Viceroy so ho-
nourably distinguished as the present should be the
last of the official race."

of Devonshire, the Marquis of Kildare, and Sir William
omerville. The London Companies have promised to

REIIC IDE MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.—At a COll-
- meeting of the members of the Philosophical
Society in the town residence of Mr. William Murray,
of .Monklend, last Wednesday evening, we had the plea-
sure of seeing, among many interesting objects in nature
and art, a curious rS io of Mary Q iren of Scots which
Mr. Murray has receives from a Loy, and which is to be
permanently deposited, at the request of the donor, in
the museum of the Andersordan University. It is a
curious old oval watch, of considerably greater magni-
tude than the watches of the present day. It is made of
pinchbeck, with cases like a hunting watch, and without
a glasi face. The dial plate is elaborately engraved,
and represents apparently some continental town. It
bear. the maker's name, "F. Le Grande." Instead of
being wound up by meant tf a chain, a cord of catgut is
used Le this purpose. A skilful watchmaker in tomes
has examined this antique timepiece, and is of opinion,
from its peculiar construction, that it must be nearly
400 years old. The watch was found in Lochleveu
Castle; immedietely after Queen Mary's escape from her
imprisonment there, aid has long been in the possession
af ass anticptarian gentleman in that neighbourhood. The
watch is stall going, and its mechanism is in good order.

A NAPIER/AN ANECUOTE.—There is not much of
novelty in the assertion that Sir C. Napier is a very ec-
centric general, of a very original turn of mind; but the
anecdote we are about to relate will exhibit his conduct
itt a most outrageously peculiar style—such as would
hardly, even in these imitative days, find a copyist. It
will be iwaollected that a few months since a young
officer, Lieutenant G. Ashton, of her Majesty'; 53d, was
dismissed the service for being intoxicated while on
duty; The Commander-in-Chief, in confirming the sen-
tence of the court-martial, added remarks expressive of
disgust at the crime, and recorded his firm ch termination
to visit such offences with exemplary punishment. When
the result of the court-martial became known the mother
of the unhappy young man, a woman of highly estimable
character, wrote to Sir Charles Napier, and told him how
that her son, so far from being a dissolute character, had
regularly remitted to her a considerable portion of his
meagre allowances, to assist in supporting her; elf and his
younger brothers and sisters. She said that if inquiry
were made, it would be found that the crime which had
ruined him in its consequences was the first instance of
a departure from the rules of sobriety, and begged that
some mercy might be extended to his fault in consider-
ation of his affectionate conduct as a son, and previous
worthiness as a soldier. The reply of the Commander-
in-Chief disclosed his regret that these details bad not
been furniahed at a previous date, as a knowledge of
them might have mitigated the severity of his sentence,
which, however, was not too great for the proved offence.
We believe that some further correspondence followed,
and which was finally wound up by the receipt, some
days since, of a letter from Sir Charles Napier enclosing
the price of an ensign's commission, as a donation from
his private purse, the old warrior thus seeking to recon-
cile the claims if duty with the impulses of humanity,
fort', Ring to the service the privileges of a sentenced
prisoner,
and atoning for the hardships of justice by tut
act of liberal generosity. It is the frequent task of th
journalist to dwell upon instances of singular acti6n on
the part cf statesmen and generals, but it is a &dem that
the.r extravagances take such a shape as this. It needs
the oceasioral misdeeds of un Ashton to render us fully
acquainted with the north of a Napier, an illustra ion of

d; well-knee n axiom that misfortune is the parent of
goodness.—Madras Atli( ?Ireton, Jan. 8.
A AVOMA.N POISONED BY IlEtt lIUSBA.ND AND
SISTER.—Susan Lucas, the wife of a labourer at Castle
Camps, in Cambridgeshire, expired on the 22d of
February, after a very short ilia. es, in the course of
which she exhibited all the symptoms of having taken
arsenic. A rumour soon got abroad that the poison had been
administered to her by her husband and hersister, who
were reported to be on too familiar terms, the sister re-
siding in the same house and sleeping in the same bed
with deceased and her husband. In consequence an in-
quest was impanelled and adjourned, the stomach of the
deceased and its contents being sent to Professor Taylor
for analyzation; the professor's report has not yet ar-
rived. The magistrates of the division also interfered;
and at the petty sessions, on Wednesday, the accused
parties were brought before the Rev. J. Graham and the
Rev. Charles Townley. The evidence of the surgeon
and other witnesses was taken; and the prisoners, who
said nothing in their defence, were then fully committed
for trial at the assizes. Lucas is about twenty-five, and
the female prisoner twenty-one years of age. The latter
has since made a statement to the magistrates in con-
nexion with the affair, which is suppressed by desire of
the bench. She also made some inculpatory remarks to
the surgeon who examined her, it being reported that she
was pregnant, but this fact was not established.
SOUTHAMPTON, Marten B.—The United States
mail steamer Ilerreann, Captain E. Crabtree, arrived
off Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 10 o'clock this moaning.
from New York, which place she left on Wednesd,t
the 20th ult., a short time after the sailing of We
Europa, which vessel reached Liverpool on Monday
last. The Hermann has experienced very fine weather,
with a fair wind, during her run across the Atlantic,
and the captain reports to us that his lengthened
voyage has been occasioned by the extremely bad qua-
lity of the coals supplied at New York. All the efforts
of the firemen could only produce a pressure in the
boilers of 101 b. on the square inch, instead of 131 b. to
141 b., usually carried. The mails, passengers, &c., for
England and France having been transferred to a small
te
er, the Hermann proceeded on her voyage to Bre-
snieanmat noon. She has a small cargo and some specie
for Bremen, but none for Southampton. There were
45 passengers, amongst whom is Mr. E. G. Oelricke,
bearer of dispatches from the British Minister at Wash-
ington for Lord Palmerston. These dispatches were
received by express from Washington, but reached New
York to) late to be sent by the Europe. The Hermann
brings no later news from the United States than thatTre-
ceived by the Europa. The American mail steamer,
Atlantic, Captain West, is advertised in the New York
raper; to leave on the 27th of April for Liverpool.
She will be the pioneer of the fortnightly line of Ame-
rican steamers (known es CJllins' line) to ply between
New York and Liverpool, under contract with the
United States' Government. The line consists of five
steamers, viz., the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Antarctic,
and Adriatic, each vessel being 3,500 tons burden and
1,200-horse power;: tl.e largest ocean steam-ships at
present eft, at. The steamer, Franklin. of 2,500 tons,
was preparii g to leave New York about the Ist of
April for Southampton and Havre.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A dreadful Abscess under the
Chin Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Robert
Davidson, shoemaker, of Anstruther, had suffered for more
than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin
during this time he had been under the care of two surgeons i
Anstruther and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect
of a cure. In this miserable condition be began to use Hello-
way's Ointment and Pills, which, in the short space of two
months, soundly healed the wound ; and he is now enjoying the
best of health. These fine medicines are admirable remedies
for king's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula,
and bearings down. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Ideaciim.
