THE ARMY.

The Secretary at War, Sir Thomas Fremantle, left
Dublin on Tuesday. He has been in Ireland this last
week on the object of erecting buildings for Divine ser-
vice for the military in Dublin, and-it is supposed that
capacious chapels will be built on the, ground in the
front of the Royal Barracks. Sir Thomas was accom-
panied by the Chaplain-General, Rev. Mr. Gleig, and
Major Jebb, who has given plans for the erection of
depots for military defaulters. The Secretary at War
has stated that the intended military brevet will not take
place at present.
THE PO LICE--ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
The Cork Examiner gives the following extraordinary
case which occurred at the sessions of Mallow, in that
county. Here a common policeman takes upon himself
the office of a judge, and actually abuses a jury whose.
verdict did not square with his notion of law:—
" Six men named Madden were given in charge for
an assault arising out of a disputed right to cut turf on
a bog, and on the jury re-entering their box, after con-
sidering their verdict, they were accosted by a police-
man, 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
then said, What kind of a verdict is that for you to
find ? '

" Mr. R. 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
box as:unconstitutional, and now here is one of those fel-
lows interfering with the verdict of the jury. If we lire
in a free country, will such conduct be longer permitted?
" The sensation created in court was so intense, and
the uproar occasioned by the announcement so great,
that 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."
ATTEMPT TO SINK VESSELS IN LIBIERICIE.—We are

much gratified in having to announce that the exertions
made by Mr. Steele, in co-operation with the local -
authorities, to bring the perpetrators of this daring out- -
rage to justice, are most likely to prove successful. On
Monday the Mayor received information on oath against _
Peter Liddane, the man first arrested on suspicion. This
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 (dream-
stances unexpectedly came out, which, it is hoped, will
bring to light every particular connected with this re-
volting deed. Peter Liddane is fully committed by the
Mayor, and at present there is a strong prima facie case
fora jury.—Limerick Chronicle.

PROVINCIAL COLLEGES INIRELAND.—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 of the committee was held on Tuesday
at the Cork Institution; James Roche, Esq., J.P., chair-
man, presiding. There were also present Daniel Leahy,
Esq., D.L., D. Callaghan, Esq., M.P., W. Clear, Esq.,
Alderman T. Lyons, Dr. D. Bullen, Dr. Harvey, Rev.
W. O'Sullivan, W. Keleher, Esq., and R. Dowden (Rd),
Esq. It was resolved that Thomas Wyse, p 1.,. PLR,
the Earl
should be especially invited to attend a provincial meet-
