DUBLIN POLICE.

Two women, ore as yellow, and shrivelled as a withered crab-
apple, the other" young ar.d tair, with one languishing blue eye, and
an artificial black one, stated to the Magistrate, that they had both
hecn kill by (me Roger Mooney, merely because they wished to
prevent the said Roger fron, murdering both their men. They also
started that they had served Roger with a summoes, but be bad
rot attended.
" But 1 attend for him," said an old woman; " I am Mrs. Roger
Mooney, and the reason he's not here this day is, because he's not
able to walk, from, the beating you both gave hint ; and it's the first
time a Mooney had to he dorm to ■ Itl‘ Daniel, you wretches."
" Oh, your Worship, listen to that," said the younger complainant,
" now, are the Mouneys half as good a breed as the AllDauiels?"
" No, indeed, they're nut," said the old complainant.
Young Complainant—Whislit, wbisbt, Onny, can't you let a
body speak; you're bothering his Worship; why, Roger beat
myself and all belonging to nte, and he says he'll never stop until
he drives us all from Dalkey; he says he'll brat the !ite out of us,
if we don't go.
Defendant's Wife—Devil's cure to you ; what right have you to
come to a place that the Mooneys lived in many a year before you
bad a grandfather? Ar'n't •we the real old Greeks, and Ne'r but a
parcel of Turki? Oh, your Worship, don't mind what they say,'
and just see how Roger will mulealkur them.
The Magistrate said, he certainly should not wait to see any
such thing, and desired Mrs. Roger to bring in her husband the
neat day, with two sureties to keep the peace.
u Well, I will, your Worship," said the defendant's wife ; " but
sure you must know will that the BliDanieh have no right to
come to Dalkey, as long as the Mooney. choose to stay there."

UPL•NING op TIM DARLINGIOV RAILWAY.

Tuesday last, the Darlington and Stockton Railway
was formally opened by the proprietors, for the use of
the public. It is a single railway of twenty-five miles
in length, and will op:n the London market 13 the
collieries in the western part of the county of Durham,
AS well facilitate the obtaining of fuel to the cotintry
Alnng its line, and the northern parts of Yorkshire. A
train of carriages was attached to a loco-motive engine
of the molt improved construction, and built by Mr.
George Stephenson, in the following order:-1. Loco-
motive engine, with the engineer and assistants-
2. Tender, with coals and water—riots, six waggons
loaded with coals and flour—then an elegant covered
coach, with the Committee and other Proprietors cf
the Railway—then twenty•one waggons, fitted up on
the occasion f r passengers--and, last of all, six wag-
gons loaded with coals, making together a train of
thirty-eight carriages, exclusive of the engine and
tender. 'rickets were distributed to the number of nearly
three hundred, for those whom it was intended should
occupy the coach and waggons ; but such was the
pressure and crowd, that both loaded and empty
carriages were instantly filled with passengers. The
signal being given, the engine started off with this
immense train of carriages. In some parts the speed
was frequently twelve miles per hour ; and in one place,
for a short distance, near Darlington, fifteen miles per
hour ; and, at that time, the number of passengers
amounted to 450, which, together with the coals, mer-
chandiz., and carriages, would amount to nearly ninety
tons. After some little delay in arranging the proces-
sion, the engine, with her load, arrived at Darlington,
a distance of eight miles and three-quarters, in sixty-
five minutes, exclusive of stops, averaging about eight
miles an hour.- Six carriages loaded with coals, in.
tended for Darlington, were then left behind, and after-
obtaining a fresh. supply of water, and arranging the pro-
cession to accommodate a band of music and passengers,
ITOM Darlington, the engine set off again. Part of the,
railway from Darlington to Stockton has a little declivity,
and in one place it is quite level; and, as in the upper
part it was intended to prove the speed of the engine, in
ibis part it was intended to try her capability of drag-
ging a heavy load, and certainly the performance ex-
cited the astonishment of all preient, and exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of every one conversant on
the subject. The engine arrived at Stockton in three
hours and seven minutes after leaving Darlington, in-
eluding stops, the distance being nearly twelve miles,
which is at the rate of four miles an hour; and upon
the level part of the railway, the number of passengers
in the waggons were counted at 550, and several more
clung to the carriages on each side, so that the whole
number could not be less than 600.
