island in their boats.

Mit. MAURICE O'CoNNELL, the only son of the Libe-
rator now in parliament, has written to Mr. G. H. Moore,
d.v.lining to join the new religious equality agitation. He
is willing to have his opinions tested by his conduct in the
house rather than out.

the Midland Great Western Railway; a Romanist, and

A MAN AND WOMAN have been apprehended in Dub-
lin, with a quantity of broken gold, diaraond3, and pearls
in their possession, which they bad endeavoured to pawn.
They are supposed to be some of the plunder of the recent
robbery of Mr. Jones, the jeweller, in the Strand.
The Freeman's Journal and Weekly Telegraph report
that Mr. Robinson, of the Connaught bar, has been
appointed to the Chief Justiceship of Calcutta, with a
salary of £6OOO, and other advantages. Mr. Robinson
received no intimation of his promotion down to Sunday

The Limerick Examiner states that the Rev. Eugene
M`Namara, a Romish priest, native of Clare, has recently
died in Paris, leaving property to the amount of £48,000,
which Mr. Murphy, a solicitor, is gone over to look after
on behalf of a brother of the deceased, " a very well-
conducted and meritorious member of the Irish consta
bulary "

THE CEREMONY of investing Dr. Cullen with the pal-
lium took place on Sunday, with almost regal pomp, in the
Church of the Conception, Marlborough-street, Dublin,
The sermon was preached by an American importation—
the " Lord Bishop" of Pittsburgh, who, it seems, was the
delegated bearer of a " message of peace" from the
Sovereign Pontiff to his well-beloved subject Primate
Paul Cullen.

RELIGIOUS EQUALITY.—The Conference took place
on Thursday, in the Concert Room of the Rotunda. Six-
teen members of Parliament were present. The first re-
solution was—" That the settlement of the Church ques-
tion on the basis of perfect equality is essential to the
establishment of that entire equality, civil and religious,
which alone can or ought to produce content." The
others were of a similar character.

THE CASE OF MR. KIRWAN.—Mr. W.. Burke Kir-
wan, against whom a " true bill" was found the previous
evening, was on Tuesday put to the bar in the Commission
Court, Dublin, charged with having murdered his wife on
the 6th of September last, at Ireland's Eye, a small unin-
habited island, lying about two miles from the Hill of
Howth: The prisoner pleaded " Not Guilty ;" after
which the trial was postponed until next seasion.

THE EXHIBITION OF 1853.—0 n Monday afternoon, the
lord-lieutenant, accompanied by the Countess of Eglin-
ton and suite, proceeded to the site of the building for the
great Industrial Exhibition of 1853, for the purpose of
presiding at the erection of the first pillar. The space on
which the operation was to be performed was covered in,
a military band was in attendance, and a large cumber of
fashionable persons, invited for the occasion, were present.
MR. BRIGHT has published a letter to the editor of the
Freeman's Journal on the subject of the movement by
the " Friends of Religious Equality." Of course he
pronounces for " equality." Not a word does be say of
the real motives of the leaders—the seizure of the pro-
perty of the Established Church for the use and behoof of
the Church of Rome. " Henceforth," says he, " there
must be no church in Irelend in connexion with the
state." But for the present he would do a trifle for the
incumbents.

HOSTILE RENCONTRE.-At the Royal Dublin Society,
on Monday afternoon, an encounter of a most disagree-
able nature took place. Major Fairfield had just entered
the hall of the society, in company with one or two gen-
tlemen, and was proceeding to the lawn, when Mr. Henry
M`Derrnott, barrister-at-law, walked, rapidly after him,

epithets, adding, " I have caught you at
Major Fairfield turning hastily round, Mr
struck him two or three severe blows with a heavy horse-

lily retreated, calling loudly for-the interference of the
police, several of whom were stationed at the door and
about the premises. They, with several gentlemen, inter-
fered and prevented any further assault. Mr. M`D,rrnott
exclaimed, " That's Major Fairfield, and I have whipped
the for insulting my wife." The police, in a short
time, suffered the assailant to withdraw, and the matter
has so far terminated.
A DUEL took place on Friday morning near Lucan,
between Major Fairfield and Mr. M'Dermott, in conse-
quence of the assault committed upon the major by his
opponent, on the occasion of the raising the first pillar of
the Crystal Palace. Mr. M`Dermott received Major
Fairfield's fire, and discharged his pistol in the air. Expla-
nations then took place, which proved perfectly satisfactory
to all parties. Major Fairfield and Mr. M`Derraot having
shaken hands, the affair terminated.
FRAUD BY A ROMIS/I PRIEST.—A very extraordinary
case was tried at the Castlebar Sessions—Feeny versus
O'Connor. A publican, named Feeny, at the election of
1817, entertained Mr. Moore's friends, by order of the
Rev. Mr. O'Connor, a Rornish priest, to the extent of
£B. Feeny deposea LLiat, ttfLer LUC Ile
his bill, amounting to £8 ; but the defendant found fault
with it, and desired that his wife should make out another,
making the amount £l6, which the defendant said he
would himself bring to Mr. Moore or his committee, and
get the amount, and, if he succeeded, he would keep £8
for himself. Mr. O'Connor took away the bill, having
first signed his name at the foot that it was correct. When
the bill was taken to Mr. Moore, he repudiated the whole
transaction. Feeny accordingly sued Mr. Moore for the
amount, and summoned Mr. O'Connor as a witness ; but
he declined to interfere, and Feeny was left to his remedy
against O'Connor, who, in the first instance, undertook
to have him paid. Feeny, therefore, proceeded against
the priest, who endeavoured to set up the most illogical
defence that ever occurred even to an Irishman in trouble.
lie thought £5 would be amply sufficient for all the voters
got in the way of art entertainment ; and, as a matter of
course, denied that there was any understanding that he
was to receive one-half of the doctored bill. At this
point the advocate for the prosecution had him on the
hip.—Cross-examined by Mr. Kelly : You say you con-
sidered £5 would pay for all they got ? Yes.—Mr. Kelly :
Then, believing that, how did you, as a clergyman, sign
an account for £l6, against your friend, Mr. Moore,
when £5 would have been sufficient ? I did not think
about it. (Sensation.)—Mr. Kelly: Did you sign the
account as correct? I can't recollect; I think I did.
(Sensation.)—Mr. Kelly : Did you write to Mr. N. Davis,
the conducting agent of Mr. Moore, insisting he should
pay it ? 1 think I wrote to him ; it was the only account
I wrote about. I must have written to him.—Mr. Kelly:
Why did you get the second bill drawn by Mrs. Feeny ?
I can't recollect ; I did not like the bill drawn by Feeny.
—Mr. Kelly : Now, if no part was to go into your own
pocket, why did you certify an account for £l6 when you
knew that £5 would be enough ? I considered that the
man had trouble, and ought to be paid for it.—Mr. Kelly :
Then, though the man estimated all his trouble and enter-
tainment at £B, and you at £5, still you certified the bill
at £l6 ? I don't recollect the amount. (Sensation.)—Of
course, there could be but one conclusion to such a case,
and the priest was cast in the full amount claimed.

in-law of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, a canon of
Canterbury and rector of Lonbridge Deveril, near War-
