THE SPY SYSTEM-

It is really appalling to contemplate the extent and atrocity
of the police spy system, which, ever since the accession of
the present Government, has been in active operation. The
ramifications of this system extend to various counties, and
new disclosures are made almost daily. The inquiries re-
specting the police villanies in the Queen's County is still in
progress at Dublin Castle, and more policemen are said to be
implicated. The Tipperary Vindicate,' of this day contains
the following :—" urther evidence is forthcoming of the
nefarious plot concocted to entrap the unsuspecting people in
the meshes of crime. The charges are not confined to Ogle,
Lyndon, and Parker—others are said to be deeply implicated
in the foul and hideous conspiracy, to get up prosecutions,
and trade on the liberties and lives of the innocent. It is
confidently stated that since the accession of the present Go-
vernment to office, a great portion of the police force has be-
come tainted with the morbid appetite of transporting and
hanging inoffensive men for rewards. That this is the fault
of the Executive would plainly appear from the observations
made in the House of Lords by the Marquis of Normanby, on
Tuesday night, when calling for an investigation into Stipen-
diary Grey's case. Be this as it may, we have now to inform
our readers that two other police constables, named O'Leary
and Cantrill, have been brought up to Dublin within the last
few days, and that they are undergoing an examination into
a series of charges preferred against them by Revington, who
seems to have rejoiced in the peculiar confidence of the con-
coctors of plots against the people."
NEW STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE.
Mr. H. Pollock has been appointed stipendiary magistrate
at Thurles, in the room of Mr. Grey, whose dismissal formed
the subject of debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday.

Bell's Life in London of Sunday, May 26, will
give the most correct account of the four days' sport at Epsom,
with a portrait of the winner of the Derby. Contents of
Bell's Life of last Sunday, May 19 :—Fifteen columns of
Sporting events, including Paris Races, and a peep at the
French Derby (Chantilly), an epitome of the week's mis-
cellaneous news, and 100 advertisements, chiefly connected
with Sporting matters. The insertion of a single advertise-
ment in Bell's Life may be equally beneficial to that of half
a dozen in some journals. A sixpence, or six penny stamps,
to Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, will at all times insure a
copy of Bell's Life by return of post. The weekly sale of
Bell's Life exceeds 20,000 copies. It is regularly published
in time for the Saturday afternoon railways. Bell's Life of
June 2 will contain an engraving of the Ascot Cup.

however, arranged, that the afternoon service is to be ,

formed to-day.
ME ALBERT DOCK AT LIVERPOOL.—The work
at and surrounding this dock, under the able superintendence
of the dock surveyor, is now proceeding with almost incre-
dible rapidity. The warehouses are several stories high, and
the form of the dock itself can now be distinctly seen.
