IRELAND:

PROSECUTION OF MR. TELVERTON.
MONDAY, Auo. 25.—Immediately, after the sitting
of the Court this morning, Lord PLUNKETT demanded
of the Clerk of the Crown why he had refused to send
up to the Grand Jury an indictment against Mr. Yel-
verton, which had been presented to him for that pur-
pose ?
Toe Clerk of the Crown said, that he had refused to
send up the bills by the direction of the Crown Solid.
tor, on the author ity of the Solicitor-General.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL then addressed the Bench,
and said, that having understood a crown prosecution
had been undertaken without consulting the law advisers
of the Crown, he had directed that the indictment should
not be received. His intention in doing so was to bring
die matter before the Court, as the proceeding adopted
in this case was altogether unprecedented. The usual
course he said was to submit the indictment to the At.,
tor ney or Solicitor General, and if -he should not deem
it a case which should be prosecuted by the Crown, yet
he might interfere to prevent others from prosecuting.
As this course bad been departed from, and besides, as
he did not think the case fit for prosecution by the
Crown, he had exercised his judgment in directing that
the indictment should not be sent to the Grand Jury
without cnmine before the Court.
Lord Ptars/KETT consieered that the Solicitor General
had exercised his judgment soundly ; but yet the indict-
ment must go to the Grand Jury. If, however, the
bills should by accident be found (And in this case his
Lordship thought that could only happen by accident),
still the law advisers of the Crown haJ it in their power
to prevent the matter from proceeding further, by en-
tering a noli prosequi.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he had brought
the case before the- Court, merely for the purpose.of
having the confirmation of their Lordships' opinion
upon that which he knew to be the proper course. • If
the bills should by accident be returned, it was his in-
tention to enter a noli prosequi, as he did not think the
case fit for prosecution.
Lord PLUNKETT said that he entirely agreed with the
Solicitor-General, and that he himself wi,bed the matter
to be mentioned in Court, lest the public should re-.
ceive a false impression as to the conduct of the Clerk
.of the Crown.

The witnesses were then sworn, and the indictment
sent to the Grand Jury. •
FRAM THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL, AUGUST 25.
THREE O'CLOCK.—After an investigation, which Sc-.
cupied nearly three hours, and a short examination of
the witnesses sent up on the part of the C4tholic Asso-
ciation, the bills were ignored. The July. it seems,
were unanimous in their decision, and the Honourable
Gentleman was liberated.

DEATH OF LORD ORIEL.—With feelings of unmixed
regret we announce the demise of this venerable and patriotic
Nobleman. The melancholy event took place at his Lordship's
seat, at Colton, in the county of Louth, at five o'clock on Saturday
evening. Ills Lordship was in the 88th year of his age, and com-
menced his political career, as a Member of Parliament, in the first
year of his late Majesty's reign. Front an early period of life,
almost to the time of his elevation to the Peerage, in 1821, Joan
Forma held office under the Crown and a more faithful or efficient
shrvant never existed. He was Speaker of the Irish House of
Commons at the time of the Union, and his uncompromising firm.
ness and patriotic sentiments have furnished the theme of many a
panegyric. In private life Lord ORIEL was everything amiable and
respectable—a kind friend, au indulgent landlord, and a most
estimable man. His Lordship is succeeded by his only san, Lord
Viscount F m

Lord ANGLErAIT.—In passing from Knocklofty. the
seat of the Earl of DONOUGUMOIg, to visit Lord DUNALLT, his
Excellency called on Lord IIAWA ROCK, at Dundrum. He rode'
unattended by any individual hut his Lordship, direct from Dun-
drum to Kilboy, about twenty-eight miles distance ; thus crossing
the wildest and most mountainous district in the kingdom. The

address of the inhabitants of Borrisoleigh to his Excellency, and his
gracious and truly sincere answer, will clearly show the maternal
Affection that exists between the Govet nor and the governed. The
fullooing is a copy of his Excellency's answer to the address olthe
inhabitants of Burriseleigh—
" My good Friends—l have received the affectionate address
of the Inhabitants of Boil isaleigh with feelings of the warmest gra-
titude. Anxious as lam for the Prosperity of Ireland. and for the
happiness of 01l its people, it is truly gratifying to hnd that the line
of policy I have pursued has given confidence in my government.
Be assured that the confidence is reciprocal ; that, surrounded by
the Irish people, I feel that I am encircled by friends on whose
honour, loyalty, and patriotism, I can rely.
" Believe me to be your sincere friend, " Moaner.'"
The Irish papers are tilled with narratives of shock-
ing excesses by the Orangemen, in celebrating what
they call their anniversary on the 12th of August. .If
it be true that the arms and musical instruments if the
yeomanry have been used on these occasions, one would
think the Government would pause a little before they
consented to leave the elements of mischief in such hands.

Yesterday morning, as a lad named Saunders, about
14. years of age, was passing up Nesvgate-stri et, he
came in contact with a butcher's boy, carrying a tray
of meat on his shoulder, when one of the handles of the
tray literally forced the ball,of his eye in pact from thp
socket. He bled profusely,' and was, immediately car-
ried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. ~
Between three and four o'clock on Sutiklay morning,
a fire broke nut in Mr. James MitchelFaakehouse, in
Perth ; the fire engines belonging to the town and 411
barracks were quickly on the spot, but though no exer-
tion could save the house in which the file originated
from total destruction, the flames were presented Iron;
communicating with the adjoining buildings.
Monday a young man, seemingly about thirty years
of age, a tradesman, fell down on the Quay of Aber-.
deen, in a fit of epilepsy; and, while he was much con-
, vulsed, and exhibited the other usual symptoms of that
dreadful disorder, a Gentleman ran to a vessel dis-
charging salt, and, bringing a handful, thrust part of
it into the mouth of the sufferer; and such was the
efficacy of this sovereign remtdy, that the poor man,
to the astonishment of the bystanders, arose in leis than
two minutes, acknowledging with gratitude the benefit
he had derived from this seasonable application, and,
after drinking a little water, walked away seemingly
quite recovered.
Our Penzance Correspondent, under date August 25,
speaking of the Pilchard Fishery, says—;" The Bay at
St. Ives teems with fish of this descriptions, and of ex-
ceedingly fine quality. Thirteen or fourteen scans are
now in water, and have enclosed, according to com-
putation, upwards of ten thousand hogsheads, each
containing from two thousand five hundred to three
thousand fish. Should the weather
.continue.propitiou.,
no doubt the whole of such, an inimense , quantity
will be securely landed and saved.. What a fortu-
nate circumstance for that Fishy &tough! In Mount's
Bay the fish have also made their appearance, and, in
fact, all along the coast. Seieral seans are now As water;
but it is as yet quite, impossible to ascertain the extent
of the 'catches. Wind E.S.E. with terry fine weather,
