IREL A.N D.
VICE-REGAL COURT.
Dom.'s, OCT. 7.—The death of the gallant Sir
L. Cole, brother to the Countess de Grey, will
cause a temporary suspension of the Viceregal fes-
tivities, which had commenced fot the winter season.
There was to have been a fie U-day of all the regi-
ments in garrison this forenoon, at which his Excel-
lency the Lord-Lieutenant was expected to be pre-
sent, but at ten o'clock the order was countermanded,
and the troops returned to their quarters.
COMMAND OF THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—The Even-
ing .21Inil denies on authority the report of the ap-
pointment of Lord Greenock to the command of the
army in Ireland, in succession to the gallant and
popular officer who at present fills that important office.

THE OPERATION OF THE TARIFF.
THE BOYLE FAlR.—This fair was held here to-day'.
The prices obtained by the few persons who sold
have proved most disheartening. There was an ex-
tensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did
not generally amount to the sum paid for the same
stock last .I.llovernber or May. The only lot of bul-
locks which we heard were sold were those belonging
to Mr. Denis. This gentleman disposed of 20 (out
of a lot of 30) at 10/. 7s. 6d. each, although he re-
fused, on the 4th of April last, I I/. ss. each for the
entire lot. Fat sheep sold at from 355. to 40s. ;
lambs, from 18s. to 225. ; milch cows, from 81. to 101.;
fat cows, from 8/. to 9/. A few horses were disposed
of at from 81. to 20/. Pigs were very low. Wool
brought 16s. per stone.—Boyle Gazette.
LISBURN I AlR.—The autumn fair of Lisburn was
held yesterday. The show of horses was greatly in-
ferior to that of other years. There were a few hand-
some young horses, adapted for saddle or harness,
offered for sale, but most of the buyers of the
English market having gone to the great fair of Bal-
linasloe, very few, even of the lowest description,
changed hands. The show of cattle in Smithfield.
market was very large. Owing, however, to the
curious feeling at present existing between the farmer
and dealer, comparatively trifling sales were effected.
Some prime springers went off at from 10/. to 121.
Fat heifers were in pretty good demand, and brought
fair prices ; but inferior cattle of all descriptions
were scarcely looked at, and were disposed of at very
low rates.

ORCHARD.—This fair was held on Me.idav last.
There was a very large show of sheep alrl lambs, and
a good supply of horned cattle. T-ne fair, on the
whole, ruled dull, owing to the continued prevalence of
distemper as well as the tariff, both contributing to
keep back buyers. Prices ranged as follows :—Store
wetlaers, 255. to 345. Maiden ewes, 265. to 325.;
lambs, 335. (top ; tups, 3/. to 10 guineas. Fat
cattle scarce and dull. Mitch cows scarce ; such as
appeared sold. well. Well bred Durliain heifers, one
year and a half old, fetched from 41. to 6!. 10s.; wean-
Units. " ditto, from 2/. 10s. to 4/. 10s. The principal
part of the stock exhibited was very superior. At this
fair, and that of Castledermot a few days previously,
the best stock sold at a reduction of fully 31. per hea-d,
' and inferior nearly one-half less than this time twelve
months, with considerable difficulty of making sales
even at thi3 reduction.—Kilkenny Journal.
NEWCASTLE.—At the fair of Newcastle on Monday
there was rather a small show of stock ; fat cows
were scarce and rated from 81. to 11/. ; milch cows
averaged from 71. to 10/. 10s.; weanling calves, 2/. to
to 21. 105.; sheep, 19s. to 545. ; weighty bacon pigs
in very bad demand, but light ones were purchased at
325. to 355. ; store pigs, 255. to 40s.—Limcrick
Chronicle.
