DUBLIN, JUNK 24.—The Roman Catholic prelates assem-
bl. d this day at Maynooth College, to consider the art ange-
ments rendered necessary by the increase of the grant, and the
altered circumstances of the institution. A Mayneoth corre-
spondent of the Freeman's Journal states that the delibera,
tions of the prelates will probably embrace the following sub-

ects: -

" 1. The indispensable arrangements consequent upon the
altered eir4imstances of the College under the new endow-
ment which it has pleased our rulers to bestow upon this iin-
tant national institution.
" 2. What will be done with the present College—will it be
enlarged or abandoned, and a new one erected ?
"3. The consideration of the Academical Education Bill,
and the demeanour of the Ministry towards the prelates, as
evinced in dealing with their memorial,
" The whole of the Catholic risitorsivill be present, with
perhaps thp exception of the Earl of Fingal, whg is en the
Continent, and the Earl of Ketimare, who, I have been ill-
formed, is in England, Jr.A Corballis will attend, so also will

"'there is one matter connected with the arrangements
consequent on the endowment which will demand much con-
sideration. 4t pre-ent, there are several students in the in-
stitution who are maintained by bourses 'founded by pious
(limo's, the selection of appointees to which vests in the
bihops of the respective dioceses of which the founders were
spiritual subjects. These bourses have been established on
the same basis as regards pension with the rate hitherto exist-
ing under the limited Government grant. They do not, we
believe, much exceed 201. a year.
"At present, there are upon an annual average in the college
440 students of all classes; under the new arrangement, pro-
vision will
' be made for 500. There will, therefore, be in
future upon tbft Government foundation alone, a larger number
of students than there are at present maintained by the Govern-
ment grant, together with the b users froni the several
dioceses. Henceforward, those bourses will not be adequate
to maintain the parties presented, without eking them out by
pensions, and it is tolerably
evident th.t, under those circure-
stances, few will be anxious to obtain presentations. How,
therefore, will those b ,urses be disposed of?"

MURDERING Ili Ji..Srf?A• very gi
stance, involving a duel and death, took place at Cincinnati last
Tuesday. An Englishman, named Robert Bland, kept a tavern

in that city. On the afternoon of Tuesday (as we learn
front toe Cramercial) Mr. Bland got to arguing with
one Sainnel Powell, on the subject of shooting at a mark,
and each had been boasting of his skill. From shooting
at a mark the subject turned on duelling, when Bland
went behind the bar in his tavern, and took up a pair of pistols, let-
ting Powell take his choice, signifying that they could determine the
point by a trial of skill. As they both went out of the tavern door,
Me. Bland said to Pewell—" The pistols arc loaded." They had
agreed, it appears, to fire at a distance of twenty steps, but after
taking their positions, in the manner of duellists, they each walked
two or throe paces, wheeled, and both fired; The result of
this was, that Mr. Bland was shot, the hall entering the right side,
and then passing through the region of the chest to the point of
the shoulder-blade, Where it lodged. He lingered till about halt-
past eight o'clock neat morning, when he died, leaving a wife and
two children. Both parties in this tragedy were natives of Eng-
land, and what led to it is a mystery. During the night following
Mr. Bland stated that " he had not intended to kill Powell, and was
glad he did not."—New York Paper.
