THE LIVERPOTYL STANDARD.

AT THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION, on Monday, there was
but a thin attendance. Mr. O'Connell intimated that the
origin of his quarrel with the Young Irelanders was their
approbation of the " infidel colleges," and the " godless
education" which they inculcated. "He differed with
them on the subject of the infidel colleges bill, because
the heads of the holy church, of which he was an unworthy
member, disapproved of it, and he never attempted to dis-
agree with Ahem, for he knew that they could not be
wrong—and the propriety of the protest against that
measure was fully borne out by the news they had lately
received from Rome." The rent was £142.
HORPIELE DEATHS.—On Wednesday, an aged woman,
named Margaret Dillon, wife to a small farmer, named
James Dillon, who resides at Kilmalady in this county,
while in a field adjoining her husband's residence, was set

her son ; she was not many minutes out of the louse,
still she was dead when found, and the cow goring and
lacerating her to ,pieces.—A. few days since an infant,
named Maria Cornally, being left alone in the house in a

OPENING OF A NEW TRAFFIC WITH IRELAND—IM•
FORTATION OF SIIEEP.—The Fair Trader steamer arrived
at Drogheda on Thursday with a cargo of no less than
1.600 sheep, direct from the Island of Mull, Scotland.
This flock, which, we understand, is a very fine one, con-
sists of about one half breeding ewes—the remainder
wethers for feeding. Such an importation as this con-
stitutes quite a new feature in the lye stock trade, and is
deserving of consideration by landed proprietors and
stockmasters here. The cargo belongs to Messrs. Adams
and Banks, of Liverpool, who have the merit of being
the present movers in this new, and we trust we may pro-
nounce, promising traffic between the Scottish isles and
this country.—Freeman's Journal.
DISTRESS IN CORK.—Last Thursday, a very numerous
meeting was held at Cork, the Earl of Bandon in the chair,
to consider the present distressed stateof the people. The
Earl of Mountcashell and Lord Bernard delivered long
speeches. A. memorial was resolved on to her Majesty
" to exercise that authority with which the constitution
invests her, by assembling forthwith the Parliament of the
United Kingdom. That she will graciously direct that
the Houses of the Legislature, being so assembled, shall,
waiving every other subject or discussion, apply them-
selves to devising such measures as, by securing employ-
ment and money wages for the labouring people, will
enable them to resort to that foreign, as well as domestic,
food which open markets and natural demand will supply,
when consumers have the means to purchase. Your
memorialists and dutiful subjects refrain from those de-
tails of existing and approching distress which would
harrow with grief and care your royal and sympathising
heart, in the full conviction that they cannot be more
earnest in their solicitation, than you are anxious to relieve
the public distress—to guard the public peace, and to
promote the ultimate happiness and prosperity of your
Irish subjects "

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

The opening of the Richmond Branch of the Great
-North of England Railway, took place on Thursday.
The cutting of -the first sod of the North Staffordshire
Railway, on the'23rd instant, is to be celebrated by a de-

The gauge of all railways hereafter to be constructed is
to be 4 feet 81 inches in Great Britain, and 5 feet 3 inches
in Ireland.
A Parisian bank, much engaged in railroad speculation,
is understood to .have suspended its payments. Its lia-

On Monday last, a stoker was killed on the Nottingham
and Lincoln Railway. A spring underneath the engine
snapped, and the engine oscillating, he was thrown, and
so injured that he died in a few hours. None of the pas-
sengers suffered.
On Wednesday, as a number of excavators were working
in the tunnel of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which
runs under Upper Northgate-street, Chester, a portion of
the roofing fell in, and buried four of them. All were
more or less injured ; and one of them, named Joseph
Gough, was taken out lifeless.
WINGS V. STEAM.—On Wednesday a large number of
persons assembled at the Queen's Arms, Ashton, to wit-
ness the result of a pigeon match against a railway train
upon the Leeds branch of the Ashton Railway. It ap-
peared that a wager had been laid, that the pigeon, if sent
off at Manchester when the train started, would arrive at
Ashton before the train. The pigeon arrived at home
three minutes before the train and won the wager.
RAILWAY PARCELS AND THE SPY SYSTEM.—The
59th clause of the Bristol, Birmingham, and Midland
Counties' Railway Bill, recently before the House of
Lords, enacts, " That it shall not be lawful to include in
one packet several parcels of various sorts, and intended
for various individuals, but it shall be lawful for the
Midland Railway Company to charge for each such par-
cel, although they are enclosed in one packet." How
are they to ascertain that there are several parcels in one
packet ?—why, by the outrage of opening that packet !
This clause is the most iniquitous one we have read for
years.
NORTH-WESTERN.—The North-Western, (late
London and Birmingham,) North and South Branches,
starts 22 trains daily from the Euston station. Of these
1 takes passengers through to Carlisle, by means of the
Midland and North of England Railways, 3 to Durham,
3 to Shields, 5 to Newcastle, 7 to York, 8 to Leeds, 4 to
Derby by Birmingham, and 8 by Rugby, 7 to Manchester,
8 to Liverpool, and Chester, 4 to Lancaster, 3 only as far
as Birmingham, 6 to Northampton and Peterborough, 4
not farther than Rugby, 2 to Aylesbury, 1 to Tring, 1 to
Blisworth, 1 to Watford, and 7 for Leamington and War-
wick. On Sundays the number leaving London is reduced
to 7.
