REFORMATION IN DIIBLIN.—On Sunday last two re-
spectable Romanists abjured their errors, under the in-
struction of the Priests' Protection Society, and received
the Lord's Supper in St. Thomas's Church.
THE PRICE OF WitisßEY.—Owing to the feverish state
of the grain market, the price of Dundalk whiskey has
advanced to 3s. per gallon. In Glasgow the price of
whiskey is 3s. ld., in Belfast 3s. 2d., and in London 3s. 4d.
per gallon, the rise being from 4d. to 6d. per gallon.
WRECK ON THE COAST OF GALWAY.—On Saturday the
schooner Susan, of Sligo, Captain Sandford, from Liver-
pool for Galway with salt, was wrecked off the Blasketts.
At ten in the morning she struck upon a sunken rock,
and immediately commenced to fill. The captain, who
was standing on the deck, at once set the pumps to work,
but before five minutes elapsed the water was on a level
with the beam. The crew took to the jolly-boat, and had
barely time to escape from the schooner when she sunk.
HARVEST PROSPECTS.--The Dublin "corn note" states
that the market was considerably less excited than it had
been for several weeks past ; and, although there were a
few speculative bargains, the general feeling was to "hold
back." The weather has been most favourable for the
harvest. The potato-markets are amply supplied, and the
quality • is, if possible, improving. No • such thing as a
diseased potato is seen about Dublin. Mr. John Lamb,
who has- just completed a tour of nearly the whole of
Ulster, says,—" there is throughout that entire district a
greater breadth of land under flax and green crops this
year than last, and, consequently, less under grain. Of
the latter, the falling off is principally in wheat.
BELFAST FAIR.—In consequence of the fineness of the
day, and the throng of harvest work among the farmers,
the attendance of buyers, with the exception of the horse
fair, was only limited. Horses for farming purposes sold
at about previous prices. The prices of black cattle also
ruled at about last rates, beef selling at 40s. to 558. per
cwt. The small quantity of grazing stock forward was
mostly disposed of at good prices. Sheep were rather
more plentiful, and those in good condition sold at fild.
to 64d. per lb. • The supply of lambs was small, and all
was rapidly bought up at 6d. per lb. in sink. Pigs were
not of good quality, but prices were, as usual, high, the
prospect of a good potato crop inspiriting the farmers to
increase their stock in this department.—Belfast News-
Letter.

THE ROYAL VlSlT.—There was a numerous and fashion-
able attendance on Wednesday, and the greatest anxiety
was evinced to witness those purchases of her Majesty
which had not already been removed. Her Majesty,
through Colonel Phipps, has ordered two dozen of the
Dargan medals, some of which are' to be struck in Irish
silver, and forwarded to Balmoral. Her Majesty has also
ordered copies of some prints in preparation, representing
the interior of the Exhibition. Previously to her depar-
ture, the Queen gave directions to have the principal
apartments of Dublin Castle newly decorated, and other
material improvements made in the internal arrange-

rants, preparatory, as it might be inferred, to a repetition
