REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY
WEXFORD.

It was stated in some of the provincial papers, a
short time back, that it was the intention of the Hon.
G. H. Hutchinson to offer himself as a candidate for
the representation of the county of Wexford, on the
next vacancy. The Waterford Chronicle, of yester-
day, publishes a letter from the Hon. Gentleman,
addressed to " William Dudley, Esq., county Wex-
ford," in which he says—" It is necessary I should
correct an error into which you, Sir,' in common with
many others, appear to have fallen. I possess no
property of any kind in Wexford, neither have I the
smallest pretension to represent that county in Par-
liament. No doubt the antecedents of my family
were always honourable there, where the name is yet
held in respect. But what a host of men of talent
and long experience in business, old supporters, too,
of the national cause, are prepared to come forward
on repeal principles, in case of a dissolution."
IRISH FISHERIES.—A meeting of the Proprietors
of Fisheries, in the province of Munster, was recently
held in Cork, when a committee was appointed for
the purpose of adopting such measures, as they should
deem necessary, for the protection of the interests of
parties concerned. In reply to a communication on
the subject to the Government, the committee have
received a letter from Lord Eliot, through their
Chairman, the Knight of Glin, assuring them " that
the Inspectors of Fisheries are about to proceed to all
those rivers from which applications for an alteration
of 'the close season have been made, for the purpose
of taking evidence, and reporting their opinion, in
each case to the Commissioners of Public Works."

A DISAGREEABLE HONEYMOON.—An inhabitant of
Desvres, wbo had been condemned for some offence to a
month's imprisonment, which he had never delivered
himself up to undergo, appeared a few days back before
the mayor, to go through the civil ceremony of mar-
riage. Scarcely had all the formalities been complied
with, when a gendarme, who had heard the man's name
pronounced, came up, and reminding him of the con-
demnation, requested him to follow him to prison. Great
was the uproar, but there was no help for the matter, and
the newly-married man was led away to pass the honey-
moon under lock and key.
The overflowing opulence of Liverpool is gradually
producing those effects on the Cheshire suburbs of this
great city which men have not observed without asto-
nishment, even on the Lancashire side of the river. Who
that has lived here for twenty years does not know of
the changes that have occurred in the value of land once
considered waste and almost useless ; who has not heard
of the fortunes that have been acquired here by land
speculations; and who does not know where to point to
whole tracts, once covered with corn, cattle, and gardens,
now teeming with a busy population? Even adjacent
villages have been embraced by the giant arms of the
town. The surrounding oountry is dotted with the
beautiful villas of our wealthy citizens ; watering-places
have sprung up, here anti there, on the margin of the
river Mersey; and villages, which once consisted of hnt
4 few huts, have become places of formidWe MAO and
pretension. The flourishing communities on the oppo-
site shore have been fed from the same rich source, 4rc
saplings from the same root, and
