LORD BOYLE.—In contradiction to the paragraph
which appeased in our last, we are authorised to say that Lord Via.
count Boyle, who has been in Russia and other parts of the north
of Europe for upwards of a year, is shortly expected at Castlemar-
tyr.—Soutiftern Reporter.
Jon We WELL.—It is strange that this annual scene
of infamy and vice is not sought to be put a stop to—the authorities
have it in their power, if they would only act. The offenders
brought before the magistrates of the divisional office at Arran-
quay have increased in a four-fold proportion since Sunday.—Dub.
lin Paper.
MASONIC LODGE OF IRELAND.—The brethren of
the Grand Lodge of Ireland dined together yesterday, at the Masonic
Coffee-house, D'Olicr-street—the Duke of Leinster in the chair.
Upwards of one hundred of the brethren, in full masonic costume,
sat down to a splendid dinner. A variety of suitable toasts and sen-
timents were given, and the enjoyment of the evening was increased
by the vocal powers of Messrs. Brough, Hill, Ac. The company
did not separate until a late hour, all pleased at being " free and
accepted masons."
THE REV. MR. QVINLAN.—We are happy to have
it in our power to quiet the fears entertained for the safety of the
Rev. Mr. Quinlan, whose apparently mysterious disappearance we
alluded to in our last. It appears that shortly after he parted from
the Rev. Mr. Clancy, his horse took fright at some object by the
road side ; plunged violently, and threw -him ; stunned by the fall,
he remained for some time prostrate. This accident occurred in a
remote part of the parish, and being • stranger in the neighbour.
hood, upon recovering he took an opposite direction from that which
he had been pursuing. lie proceeded for some distance in this way,
until at length discovering his mistake, he took shelter in n farmer's
house, where he partook of the best refreshment the poor people
could present him, and after enjoying some repose after his fatiguing
walk of some miles, he obtained a guide, and returned to Lismore
on Monday afternoon.—Waterford Chronicle.

In the county Sligo, two pounds per ton bounty is
offered for the first importation of oatmeal, and thirty shillings a
ton for the second importation, so great is thedistress.—SligoPaper.
The committee of the provision fund commenced their
labours on Saturday last. and dealt out to those who were able to
buy six hundred stones of potatoes, at sid. per stone. The retail
prices opened in the morning at 7d.—The selling price by the sack,
Gd. The efforts to escape from shipwreck or a house on tire, could
only equal the almost frenzied efforts made by the poor people
to obtain a small supply of potatoes, at what they considered a re-
duced price. Had some of our legislators, or our English tax-men
been present, they would have a practical illustration of the state of
wretchedness and rags to which a ruinous policy has reduced our
fine country, The following is a copy of the circular addressed to
those individuals who have not as yet sent in their subscriptions to
the poor fund : " The Mayor is requested to address circulars to
those who have not contributed to the poor fund, calling on them,
in the most impressive manner, to send to his office their contribu.
tine, as it is now become necessary to make every exertion to pro-
tect the poor from actual starvation. Mayor's office, June 19."

There was on Wednesday last a most respectable
meeting of the inhabitants of Clonmel at the Court-house, for the
purpose of considering the best means of relieving the poor. The
'tlayor was called to the chair, and the Rev. B. Bell, D.D. was re-
quested to act as Secretary. After a few preliminary observations,
the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to :--" That in
consequence of the want of employment, and the present high price
of provisions, it becomes imperative on the more wealthy classes of
the community to take some immediate step for the relief of the
poor. That a committee be appointed for the purpose of devising
the best mode of affording relief, and appropriating the funds com-
mitted to them in such a manner as they may direct. That a sub-
scription be now entered into for the above purposes ; and that the
town be divided into three districts, as on former occasions, for the
purpose of collecting subscriptions." Upwards of 34)01. were col-
lected on the spot--they have since increased to 4501.—Clonmel
Advertiser.
