CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY. - The state of the
Parliamentary registration for Dublin city affords a
practical evidence of the rapid decay of that Orange
fervour which preceded the last general election, and
which continued, although with some abatement, for a
year or two after the expulsion of the Whigs. Lat-
terly, however, the Orange and Tory party in Dublin
seem to have deserted electieneering as a hopeless and.
unprofitable speculation. The agents who had managed
the registry for the Tories have retired in disgust,
having failed to obtain the places they expected ; and
on account of the general apathy existing amongst the
party, there is a lack of the fends required for the
payment of new agents, and all the incidental expenses
of hunting for claimants to the franchise, and bringing
them to the Registry Court. At the preceding registry
sessions, as well as the present, the Liberals have made
immense way towards recovering their lost ground. Day
by day the Liberals obtain a majority, and the Tories
now can scarcely muster a claimant. On Satur-
day the Liberals registered seventeen electors, whilst
the Orange party did not bring up a single man ! An
effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel for
the Tories, to induce the Registering Barrister to close
the session, but he peremptorily refused. The Liberals
are still increasing their majority.

THE POLITICAL MARTYS.—It appears that an at-
tempt has been made to prohibit the erection of the mo-
nument to Muir and others, on the site selected within
the Calton-hill Burying-ground. On an application to
the Lord Ordinary, in the Bill Chamber, fur an inter-
dict, we understand the judge (Lord Murray) refused to
grant the interdict hoc statu, reserving to the parties to
try the matter in the Court of Session, in a deliberate
form. Independently of the question of right, we con-
ceive this interference an ill-advised step. Half a cen-
tury has elapsed since the condemnation of these men ;
nearly all who took a part in the struggles of those days
have passed away ; the animosities have been buried ;
and we live in a new era, when one ought to look back
on that stormy period with a calm historical interest.
This monument is to be raised by those who sympathise
in the hard fate of those virtuous sufferers, the sub-
scribers including the late Duke of Bedford, the late Lord
Holland, and Sir James Gibson Craig. To treat this
tribute as if it was some moral pollution, calculated to
shock the sensibilities of one class of our citizens, and
even disturb the mouldering remains of those who lie
around, iA not only extravagant, but can be regarded as
nothing else than a piece of arrant affectation. As to
the question of right, we don't believe that any parties
can interfere with the erection of this monument, sup-
posing the title to the site to be effectual.—Caledonian
Mercury.
DEATH OE SIR CHARLES WATSON.—We have to
record the death of the above venerable Baronet, who
died on Monday last at Wratting Park, Cambridgeshire,
at the advanced age of 93 years, having been born in
1751. He was eldest son of Admiral Charles Watson,
the gallant naval officer, who so ably distinguished him-
self in the action of the 3d of May, 1747, and who sub-
sequently
held the naval command of the East Indian
station. In consideration of the great services ho had
rendered to his country, George 11. conferred a baronetcy
on him, but before the patent of the creation was com-
pleted he died, and that dignity was eventually conferred
on his son, the deceased, then in his ninth year. The
late Baronet married, in 1789, Miss Juliana Copley,
daughter of the late Sir Joshua Copley, by whom
he leaves issue the
.present Baronet, Mr. Charles
Wager Watson, and six daughters. Sir Charles W.
Watson was born in 1800, and married, in 1827, Miss
Colleton, eldest daughter of Mr. Charles Garth Colletor,
of Haines Hill, Berks. It is a curious circumstance,
worthy of rrecord, that the late venerable Baronet et-
joyed his baronetage under five Sovereigns (having re-
received the dignity from George IL, in 1760), viz.,
George H., George 111., George IV., William IV., and
Victoria.
WooDcocKs.—Last year we noticed that two wood-
cocks' nests were discovered in Melkinthorpe Woods,
near Lowther, by Mr. George Harrison, gamekeeper to
the Earl of Lonsdale, and that in both instances the eggs
Harrison were all hatched. At that time both Mr, and
his brother (his Lordship's principal gamekeeper) ex-
pressed their decided opinion that many of these delicate
birds, if unmolested in their favourite retreats after the
beginning of February, would become naturalised and
breed in this part of the country.support
In of their
opinion we have now to report that five young birds,
strong upon the wing, were sprung a few days ago in the
same locality. As these woods are strictly and carefully
preserved, and seldom entered during the summer
months, probably many more breeds yet remain to be
discovered.--,Lancaster Guardian.
