THE ARMY.

irlie Secretary at War, Sir 'Thomas Frcinantle, left
D"blin on Tuesday. lie has been in Ireland this last
w ek on the object of erecting buildings for Divine ser-
yi e for the. military in Dublin, _and it is supposed that
ea acious chapels will be built on the ground in the
fr It of tl.e Royal Barracks. Sir Thomas was cccom-
patiied by the Chaplain-General, Rev. Mr. Gleig, and
Nitior Jebb, who hag given plans for the erection of
derots for. military defaulters. The Secretary at War
hap stated that-the Intended military bievei will nct take
plsce at present.
FRE POLICE—ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

ale Cork Examiner gives the following extraordinary
cape which occurred at the sessions of Mallow, in that
co nty. Here .a common policeman takes upon himself
th office of a judge, end actually abuses a jury whose
vef
diet did not square with his notion of law:—
s' Six men named Madden were given in charge for
an; assault arising out of a disputed right to cut turf on
a hog, and on the jury re-entering their box, after ear.-
sid c-
crin•their verdict, they were accosted by a police-
nip, who- inquired whether they had agreed to their
verdict ? To which one of the jurors replied, 'We
haVe agreed to the acquittal
.of four.' The policeman ,
thOn said, ' What kind of a verdict is that for you to
find ?•' . • .

.
r Mr. Iti B. Barry—How dare such a fellow as you
interfere ? Please you worship, I objected in the morn-
ing to the practice of allowing policemen into the jury
bolc as unconstitutional, and now lure is one Of-those Cel-
lo s interfering with the verdict of the jury; Hive live
in free country, will such conduct be longer permitted? .
l
il
.' The sensation created in court was so intense, and
that uproar occasioned by the announcement so great,
thi}t it was impossible to hear the observations of- the'
court, but the barrister was understood to censure the
conduct of the policeman in very strong language." -
ikTTEIsIPT TO SINK VESSELS IN LIDIERIcK.—We are
much gratified in having to announce that the exertions
mqde by Mr. Steele, in cc-operation with the Ideal
authorities, to bring the perpetrators of this daring out-
rage to justice, are most Jikely to prove successful. On
3londay the Mayor received information on oath Against
Peter Liddane, the man first arrested on suspicion. Tfiis
new information leaves little doubt of the accused being
a principal in the diabolical plot.: Liddane being out on
bail to appear when called on, Sergeant Reidy was de-.
puted to execute the warrant for his re-apprehension, in
the discharge of which duty some important' eircum
st ces unexpectedly came out, which, it is hoped, will
ln
br bring to light every particular connected with this re-.:
vo Ling deed. Peter Liddane is fully committed by the
Miyor, and at present there is a strong prima facie case
for a jury.—Limerick Chronicle.
PROVINCIAL COLLEGES IN IRELAND.—In consequence
of the declaration of Sir Robert Peel respecting provin-
cial colleges, at the close of the last session of Parlia-
ment, a meeting alike committee was held on Tuesday
at the Cork Instithtion; Jamei Roche, Esq , J.P., chtfr-
man,-Presiding. There were also present Daniel LetiY.

LARGE OTTERS.—That otters plentifully abound
in the streams and their tributaries of this neighbour-
hood, there is abundant evidence. On Saturday last,
while a few individuals were engaged-in cutting wood on
the hanks of the Eden, near to Edenbank, they were not
a little surprised to observe two, large full-grown otters
(apparently male and female) come out from the foot of
the tree at which they had applied the axe, and very
coolly take to the water, under whose surface they sud-
denly disappeared. . The trunk of the tree on examina-•
don was found hollowe.l out to such an extent that a
man could easily sit upright in
_it, and must have proved
a very comfortable abode to these amphibious animals.--
