The official announcement of the elevation of Mr. Baron
Lefroy to the chief justiceship of the Queen's Bench, was
made known in Dublin on Tuesday.

PRIVY COUNCIL—At three o'clock, on Tuesday, at a
privy council held in Dublin Castle, Dr. Whately, Arch-
bishop of Dublin, and Lieut.-General Sir Edward Blake-
ney, commander of the forces in Ireland, were sworn in
as lords justices.
THE MURDER OF MR. BA.TZSON.—It is understood
that the Crown has obtained a certiorari to remove the
record of the proceedings, relative to the prosecution of
the prisoners charged with the murder of Mr. Bateson, to
the Court of Queen's Bench, where the suspected parties
will be tried next term.
SALE OF THE ROBINSON ESTATES.—The residue of the
Meath and Westmeath estates of Admiral Hercules Ro-
binson was sold, on Wednesday, in the Encumbered
Court. This fine property contains 2,840 statute acres,
the net rent of which is £1,436. The gross sum realized
for the whole was £20,650, over 16 years' purchase on the
profit rent set down in the printed rental.
THE EARL OF EGLINTON.—The Lord Lieutenant and
the Countess of Eglinton will make their public entry into
Dublin to-morrow (Wednesday). The Lords of the Ad-
miralty have ordered one of the fine fleet of the City of
Dublin Steam-packet Company to be in waiting at Holy-
head for the purpose of conveying the viceregal party to
Kingstown. The first levee will be held on Tuesday next,
the 16th instant, and the first drawing-room on Thursday
the 18th. The ball in honour of the national festival will,
it is said, be given on a scale of unusual splendour, on
Wednesday the 24th instant.
TITULAR ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.—Dr. Kirkby, who
succeeded Dr. Callen in the presidency of the Irish College
at Rome, is in Dublin at present, a candidate for the post
of the late Most Rev. Dr. Murray. He is said to be a
fair scholar. but unpopular with the parish priests in the
Dublin archdiocese. The ultramontanists assert that that
does not signify. as the Pope will again set aside all their
nominees in favour of a tool of his own. It is also reported
that either Dr. Cullen or Dr. Mac Hale will be tranferred
to Dublin, which is practically the most important posi-
tion. though nominally inferior to Armagh.
LORD DERBY AND HIS IRISH SUPPORTERS.-At the
assizes of Wexford. on Thursday last, the members of the
grand jury, with a single exception, adopted the following
resolution That the county of Wexford, being essen-
tially agricultural, has suffered most severely by the pre-
sent free trade policy, and its consequent enormous emi-
gration ; and, in our opinion, it is most essential that the
support of the electors, at the next election, should alone
be given to such candidates as will support our agricul-
tural interests, and thereby enable this country to pay the
heavy taxation from which foreigners are exempt.
DEPARTURE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—On Tues-
day morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the Earl and
Countess of Clarendon, with their children and suite,
took their departure from Dublin. There was no demon-
stration of any kind in the city. A special train brought
the ex-viceregal party to Kingstown at eight o'clsck,
where a party of about twenty respectable persons had as-
sembled. The E and Countess shook bands very cor-
dially with all whom they recognised, and having been
conducted on board the Prince Arthur—a special steamer,
employed for this purpose, the vessel left for Holyhead.
There w.ls no parting cheer, but the revenue cutters in
Kingstown Barbour fired twenty-one guns.

THE LORD CH LEE JUSTICE AND THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC SHERIFF OF AYLESBURY.

An occurrence took place on Tuesday, on the opening
of the Assizes at Aylesbury by Lord Campbell, which
m•irks in a striking manner the aggressive nature of
Popery, and the new tactics its seduced followers have
adopted to thrust their pretensions forward on all occa-
sions. It may he supposed that. the following outrageous
slight on the religion professed by the Queen and the na-
tion could only have proceeded from the fanatical zeal of
a new convert.

It is the duty of the High Sheriff to appoint the chap-
lain, who is considered not to be his, but the chaplain of
the Judge who presides at the, assizes, and in his person

represents tne authority, tor the time, or the Sovereign,
who is the grand dispenser of justice. The present High
Sheriff of Bucks is Mr. Scott Scott Murray, who, it will

Will it be credited that the High Sheriff selected for the
Judge's chaplain, a certain Mr: Morris, who, like himself,

the following notice of it in his charge to the Grand Jury.
We are sorry we cannot egree with his Lordship that the
High Sheriff was not aware of the impropriety he had

though by his silence under the well-merited rebuke he
appeared to shelter himself under it. The High Sheriff
was no ignorant rustic squire. He had represented the

" Gmtlemen, I should have dismissed you at once, were

,
High Sheriff, a gentleman most benevolent, most acces-
sible. and alto tether an honour to your county He is of
the Roman Catholic persuasion, and I rejoice to think
that that is no objection to his performing the duties of that
high office. A message was sent to me from him respect-
ing the attendance of the Judges at church, and I com-
municated to him that I by no means expected he should
do anything in the slightest degree contrary to his con.-
science or hurtful to his feelings. I rejoice that in this
country religious opinions are no barriers in the way of
performing civil duties, and there is nothing to be per-

ual should be of a form of
of the Established Church.
has occurred which I think
requires explanation. The High Sheriff, without meaning
in the slightest degree to be guilty of an impropriety, and,
indeed, being informed it had been done in other counties,

panying the High Sheriff and Her Majesty's Judges com-
ing from the place where the Sheriff meets them to the
place where we are now. Gentlemen, that I do not ap-
prove of ; and I think it my duty to say that I hope
such an occurrence will not be repeated. Gentlemen, I
hope that no one will suppose I am actuated by any illi-
beral motive. I have always most strenuously supported
the Roman Catholics in their claims for freedom of
opinion, in order that they should be admitted to all the
privileges of all others of her Majesty's subjects ; and I
may say gentlemen, that having lately been sojourning
in Italy, I had the honour of an audience with the head

muse suppose, from the

course I take, that I am actuated by any improper mo-
tive. But, gentlemen, the Sheriff appoints a chaplain who
is to appear as the chaplain of the Judges, and who is

chaplain. therefore, becomes the chaplain of the Judges,
and the Protestant religion is the religion of the Judges of

or bad feelings towards the Roman Catholic faith which

respect the feelings of the catholics, and that. sacred order
which they have created ; end I hope I shall meet with
your approbation in these remarks. Ido not wish in the
slightest degree to wound the feel'nes of my friend whom
I see here this day (turning to the Sheriff), and when I

ask that it shall not be repeated, I am sure it will be felt
that it is as much for the benefit of the Roman Catholic
subjects as for those who belong to the Established
Church,; for we should not encourage cnything which
would create unnecessary alarm, or be the means of ex-
citing those bad feelings which should never exist among
Christians."

" The Grand Jury at the close of the day made the fol-
lowing presentment on the subject :--` In making our
presentment, the Grand Jury desire to express their re-
spectful thanks to your lordship for your observations on
the subject of the attendance of a chaplain of the Roman
Catholic persuasion, and to assure your lordship of their
unanimous and entire concurrence in the sentiments ad-
dressed to them by your lordship.'

presentment (which had been read aloud). I can only say,
that in making those observations I was actuated by the
most kindly feelincs towards my friend the High-sheriff
(who was sitting by his lordship's side), and towards all
my Roman Catholic brethren. I did feel, however, that
it was my duty to make them, and I hope that such a
thing will not happen in future."—Record.

FREE TRADE IN SHIPPING.—Captain T. B. Smith, of
the ship Burhampore, the property of E. Gibson and
Sons, of Hull, writes thus from Hong Kong, on the
23rd of December last :—" We have an overwhelming
amount of splendid American ships in these waters, and
they absorb the whole trade. The American clippers are
from one to two thousand tons register, and under favour-
able circumstances they profess to acclmplish 326 miles
per diem. Our fine China traders are lying here hopelass
of employment, and many of them are going down to
India, where at this present matters are if possible worse
than here. I have late advices from Calcutta ; freights
are there 30s. for London, and by no means likely to
improve until the glut of shipping has passed off. Clipper
tonnage is now unavailable at Wharnpoa for teas to
Britain at £2 ss. and downward tendency ; so that ship-
masters and consignees are very disagreeably situated."—
Hull Packet.

TRH Rom- sEY MURDER.—At the Winchester assizes,
on Thursday, before Mr. Justice Talfourd, John Eyres
and John Kemish were indicted for the murder of John
Soffit, at Rom sev, on the 13th of November, The deceased
had gone into Romsey with some corn to be ground, and
fallen into the company of some disreputable females with
whom the prisoners were associated. The deceased be-
came intoxicated, and exhibited a quantity of money, and
in the evening set out on his return home, the prisoners
and the females being the last persons seen in his company.
Next morning he was found robbed and drowned in a
pool of water by the side of the road leading to his house.
At the close of the case, the jury, after remaining some
time in deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty against
both prisoners. The learned judge then assumed the
black cap, and, after commenting unon the chief facts of
the case, which left no doubt whatever on his mind as to
the justice of the verdict the jury had coma to, passed upon
eieh the awful sentence of death, and held out not the
*lightest hope of mercy to either.
