IRELAND.

MR. JOHN SADLEIR, of the Treasury, is a candidate for
the borough of Sligo.

Two YOUNG LADIES, belonging to a boarding-school
at Loughrea, were drowned while bathing on Wednesday.
MR. JOHN O'CONNELL, in a letter to the Times, denies
that his father desired the endowment of the Roman Ca-
tholic Church, and enters his protest against the assertion
that the Irish Catholics are " not loyal."

EXCURSIONS IN GALWAY BAY.—A steamer is about
to be placed in Galway Bay, for the purpose of conveying
excursionists between the picturesque coasts of Clare,
Connemara, and the isles of -Arran.

A CONTRACT has been concluded by the ballast-office
with the übiquitous Mr. Dargan for the construction of
graving docks at the North Wall, Dublin. The sum is to
be £60,000, and the work will, no doubt, be expeditiously
accomplished.

ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.—The Louth Pilot an-
nounces, on " excellent authority," that her Majesty has
promised to honour Lord Cremorne with a visit this sum-
mer, at Dan-trey-house, when her Majesty will proceed to
Crom Castle, the residence of the Earl of Erne, in the
county of Fermanagh.

FOG BELL ON THE SOT:7'Ft STACK, HOLYIIEAD.—A
short time ago, a petition emanated from the captains of
mail-packets to the Trinity Board, praying that a fog-bell
should be placed on the South-stack Lighthouse. Last
week, Captain Sarsfield, marine-manager of the City of
Dublin Steam-packet Company, received a communica-
tion from the company's agent at Holyhead, stating that
the desirability of such a matter had been made known
to the Admiralty Board, who had at once ordered the
suggestion to be complied with. It is only so late as the
6th of April that the schooner Glory, from Wicklow to
Liverpool, struck on the South-stack, in a fog, and
foundered.

TUE CROPS.—Every drop of rain that has fallen mi;ht
be estimated at a money value. The country looks most
charmingly. Vegetation has made great progress. The
accounts from all parts of the country are extremely
cheering. New potatoes as large as tennis balls grown in
the open fields have been offered for sale. Not the
slightest indication of disease can be detected in the stalks
or tubers. The crop promises to be very large.
MEEKNESS.—The Romish priests of the deanery of
Mill-street, county Cork, held a " conference" on Tues•
day, at which they passed a set of resolutions which are
a model of plain-speaking, strong language. Lord John
Russell is proclaime4by ten priests to be a bigot, a hypo-
crite, a political swindler, and something more beside.
The representatives of the county Cork are told that
great as was their crime in voting for the late budget,
they will be forgiven if they acquit themselves to the
satisfaction of the clergy in this crisis.

THE LORETTO NUNS.—•A case, involving a nice point
of law as affecting conventual life, has been for some
time before the Court of Chancery. It was a cause
petition, presented on behalf of Miss E. Blake, a pro-
fessed nun in the convent of Loretto, Rathfarnham, and
sister of the late Mr. James Henry Blake, Q.C. Mr.
Blake having died intestate, Miss Blake seeks that an
account be taken of the property of her deceased brother,
and that it be equally distributed between the petitioner
and her sister. The question before the court was, whe-
ther the petitioner, being a professed nun and a member
of a monastic order of the Romish Church, should, or
should not, be considered in law civilly defunct and inca-
pable of being an inheritress of property. The argu-
ments occupied two whole days, and the Chancellor
granted the prayer of the petition.
DUBLINTINIVERSITY CONIMISSION.—The Evening Mail
gives a resume of the contents of a " ponderous blue-
book," with which the public have been favoured by the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the
Dublin University. The suggestions embodied in the
report are all pretty nearly regarded with favour by the
friends of " Old Trinity," and pains are taken to show
that the document has completely dispelled all miscon-
ception as to the alleged enormous revenues of the college
and its corporation. It seems that the average receipts of
the university are only about £64,000 per annum ; the
income of the provost some £3,500, with a residence ;
the average income of a senior fellow nearly £l,BOO a
year; and of a junior fellow in the middle grade of tutors
about £670 per annum ; to which are to be added free
chambers and commons. The commissioners do not re-
commend any c

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD has issued an inhibition to
the Rev. Dr. Maurice and the Rev. J. West, of Oxford,
against further church collections in aid of 2.lloravian

missions.

THE BISHOP of RrPo:sr will be absent from England
during the month of June, having undertaken, at the
request of the Bishop of London,: to hold confirmations
at the following places during tbat period—namely, at
Hanover, on the Bth ; at Hamburg, on the 14th ;
__
Berlin, on the 17th ; and at Dresden, on the 21st. w_

understand that the Chancellor of the diocese has received
a commission from the Bishop to confer institutions and
grant licenses daring his absence.
EPISCOPAL LIBERALITY. The late Bishop of St.
Asaph, Dr. Carey, in addition to munificent subscriptions
to various societies during his life,
left £20,000, payable
on the decease of his widow, to charitable institutions.
He was Bishop of St. Asaph for about 16 years ; during
that period several valuable livings in his gift became
vacant—some of them English parishes—vet in no in-
stance did he introduce into a living in the diocese any
relative or private friend. The same may be said of the
present Bishop of Bangor, Dr. Bethel, who has presided
over the see for 23 years. But neither was Dr. Carey,
nor is Dr. Bethel, of the Whig-Russell school.

It is the son of the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel—flat
the gentleman himself—who has arrived in Australia. aficv
been appointed a magistrate.

THE TEETOTALLERS OP GLASGOW have been holding a
conference to discuss the propriety of adopting the Maine
Liquor Law, or rather of recommending its adoption to
the legislature. A good number of the " canny Scots'
were against the interference of the legislature.

THE TEA DUTIES.—It appears that in the month
ended the sth ult. the quantity of tea entered for home
consumption was only 2,359,865 lb. against 4,704,C92 lb.
of the same period of the preceding year. The difference
arose in consequence of the new duties.

WRECK OF THE AURORA, OF HVLL.—TWENTY-NINE
LIVES LosT.—The Hull Advertiser contains a melancholY
account of the foundering at sea of the Aurora, from Hul
to New York, on the 20th of May, in about 20 deg. west
longitude, and 47 deg. north latitude. There were fertY-
two persons on board, passengers and crew. The vessel
went down, with 26 souls on board. The captain, eleven
seamen, and one passenger were picked up.

ton, for 28 days' training under the command of Lieut.-
Colonel John Ireland Blackburne. The men are exer-
cised daily for several hours in the manual and platoon
exercise on a large and commodious field within one mile
of Warrington, belonging to Mr. Pemberton.

RUMOURED RETIREMENT OF LORD ABERDEEN. ---
Lord Aberdeen is said to be anxious to retire from the
cares of office, and having fulfilled his office of amalga-
mating into one cohesive mass the two bodies of Whige
and Peelites, he meditates retirement at the end of the
present session, when Lord John Russell will resume his
old place at the head of her Majesty's councils.—London
Correspondent of Inverness Courier.

THE ROUND HILL, BRIGHTON.—The ninth purchase
of land for the Conservative Land Society has just been
made at Brighton. The estate is known as the Round
Hill, not far from St. Peter's Church, at the top of the
Steyne, and commands extensive views of the sea, town'
and surrounding country. The property is close to the
new pron.enade called The Level, and is at a short
distance from the station, from which the estate can be
seen. The Round Hill being within the limits of the
borough, gives votes both to Brighton and the eastern
division of Sussex.

RUSTIC CREDULITY.—Richard Brindle, a labourer, in
the service of Mr. J. Jenkinson, farmer, residing at 0
little village in the neighbourhood of Lancaster, has bee°
cheated out of 150 sovereigns, acquired by frugality and
industry through a life now verging on 60 years. The
cash had been deposited in a bank at Preston ; but the
foolish old man was, on Whit Tuesday evening, induced

HORRIBLE SUICIDE.—An appalling act of self de;

George Inn, Dartford. The deceased,Henry Lavender
Calmer, was manager for Messrs. Saunders and Otlel
of London. He was single, and 34 years old. He vre,l L 3,,

AIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAV. JUNE 7.
COURTS OF COMMERM—The Earl of HARP.OWBY
presented a petition, signed by the Mayor of Liverpool,
and agreed to at a meeting of delegates from various
chambers of commerce, praying for the establishment of
local courts for the settlement of mercantile and commer-
cial disputes.
Drummond's tDuke de Melfort's) Restitution Bill was
read a second time. The object was to revive the earldom
of Perth, and to restore it to the lawful descendant of the
earl who was attainted in 1715 for his attachment to the
family of the Stuarts.
ARRESTNIENT OF WAGES IN SCOTLAND. Lord
BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain rnanufac-
urers and their labourers in Glasgow, and also a petition
from the corporate body of that place, praying for the
abolition of the laws of arrestment of wages for debt in
Scotland.

THURSDAY, JUNE 0.
ARRESTMENT OF WAGES.—Lord BROUGHAM brought
in a bill, for the amendment of the law in Scotland rela-
tive to arrestrnent of wages for debt.—The LORD CHAN-
CELLOR considered the state of the law on this subject
objectionable; at the same time he thought an opportu-
nity should be given for a full consideration of the bill, so
that parties might, if they choose, petition against it.—
Lord PANMURE said the present state of the law was not
productive of much evil..—The bill was read a first time.
The Income Tax Bill was read a first time ; the Hack-
ney Carriages (Metropolis) Bill was read a second time ;
and some other bills were forwarded a stage.
FRIDAY, JUNE 10.
The Marquis of BATH presented several petitions pray-
ing then
House to grant no further powers to the Great
Western Railway Company till they should have com-
pleted the line between Warminster and Salisbury.
GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND.—The Marquis of WEST-
!WRATH moved for copies of certain convictions before the
justices of Galway, and proceeded to comment with some
severity on the events which occurred at the last West-
meath election, and especially with reference to the part
played by the present Solicitor-General for Ireland upon
no know
that occasion. The Earl of ABERDEN said that he had
ledge of election, and what had occurred at the Westmeath
of motion ,as he had not included that point in his notice
, he did not feel called upon to make any further
reply to it. In the course of the subsequent discussion the
Earl of EGLINTOUN said he must say that he thought the
appointment of Mr. Keogh the least reputable appoint-
ment of the present government.—The Duke of NEW..
CASTLE said, he did not wish to throw any personal
acrimony into the discussion ; but he might make a
earl s
speech ; and he believed the noble earl knew what he
newt.Me (Rear.)—The Earl of EGLINTOUN rising instantly,
it
ith some warmth, said—l do not know or care whom
may commit—but I will not be committed for one
haornent
before your lordships by any (Cheers. hint or inuendo.
A )The Duke of NEWCASTLE.—Then, as noble
11.'3" oPeosite cheer, I suppose they wish me to state, and
I will state. My statement is this,—that I have been
assured, when the noble earl says the appointment of my
hon. and learned friend (Mr. Keogh) is one of the least
reputable acts of the present government—and I have it
on the best Possible authority—that a communication was
made by a noble lord who
occupied an office under the
noble earl opposite, before the completion of the arrange-
noblementso his government, purporting to come from the
earl opposite, at the head of the government, to
inquire whether my hon. and learned friend would rake
2_flie under him. (Cheers from the Ministerial side).—
The Earl of DERBY.—Is
heard it, for the first time,
after the appointment of Mr. Keogh had called forth a
reat deal of observation in Ireland, and was loudly.con-
lired. I heard it put about by Mr. Keogh's friends
t a certain offer had been made, and I lost no time in
authorising every Person who might hear that, to state on
nay authority that I did
not know, nor have I ever autho-
rised, nor did I then believe, nor do I now believe, that
any such offer, proposition, suggestion, or hint was ever
made to Alr. Keogh. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of EGLINTOUN.—I distinctly denied it on my
part, and I tell the noble duke that I did not know that
such a rumour had existed.
The motion was ultimately withdrawn.
YRKEY--The Marquis of CLANRICARDE withdrew a
Russia notice of motion
tc respecting the affairs of Turkey and
disc :on the ground that under present circumstances a
ussion on the subject would be inconvenient and pre-
Mature.
cni The Metropolitan Hackney Carriages Bill passed
tter"gh committee with a
ngmenvansdments, including one for
suppression of advertisi.
Their lordships then adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY, JUNE 7.
At four o'clk there were only 33 members resent, the house wasoe therefore adjourned until there nepxt day.and
WEDNESDAY, JUNE S.
EDUCATION.—Mr. BARNES presented a petition from
Protestant Dissenters at Farnworth, near Bolton, against
the Education Bill.
thePETERBOROUGH ELECTION.--MT SEYMER brought up
re eport of the select committee, declaring that Mr.
void
'Whally was not duly elected, and that the election was
,on the ground of treating.—Mr. GEACH, a member
of the committee, objected to the conclusion at which they
had arrived ; the election had been fought and gained upon
purity principles, and the only evidence of treating which
had been brought under their notice was the fact that Mr.
Whalley paid for the wine consumed at a dinner which
was given four or five days after the election.—At the
suggestion of Sir G. GREY, the discussion was postponed
until the evidence taken before the committee should have
been printed.
THE COUNT-OUT.---Alr. COBDEN complained that the
" no House" of the preceding day had been the result of
something like a trick on the part of the servants of the
house, and that the government were also to blame, some
of its members, he said, having been actively employed in
trying to persuade members not to enter the house.—L. o.rd
1:). STUART also complained of the conduct of the minis-
terial subordinates, but said he should not be at all sur-
mised if the noble lord who was the lea der of the house,
if appealed to, would say that those subordinates had acted
upon their own authority, and had not the sanction of the
government. (" Hear,'' and laughter.) He should not
be at all surprised at that being the course taken, seeing
as he did what was the practice of the government of the
present day—(hear, hear)—finding that they had a prime minister publicly disavowing the leader of the House of
Commons. (Hear, hear.) It would, therefore, be no
matter of surprise if the leader of the House of Commons
were in his turn to disavow the course taken by his sub-
ordinates (Cheers and laughter from the Opposition.)
The whole of this proceeding was extremely discreditable
to those who were engaged in it. It was a low and shabby
trick, and it was high time it should be put an end to.—
After a few words from the SPEAKER, the subject dropped.
IRISH LAW.—The house went into committee upon
the Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill, the details
of which, of a very technical nature, occupied the re-
mainder of the sitting, and the chairman was ordered to
report progress.
The house adjourned

Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from merchants of Man-
chester, complaining of the enormous duties levied on
English salt imported into British India ; and from
Newton-heath, Manchester, against the introduction of
the Board of Health.
CLARE ELECTION.—Mr. MILES reported from the se-
lect committee that Sir J. Fitzgerald and Mr. O'Brien
were not duly elected, and that the last election was void.
He also informed the house that they had agreed to a re-
solution to the effect that a system of intimidation was
organised at the last election which resulted in the riot at
imile-bridge for the purpose of deterring voters from
exercising their franchise ; and that certain Romish priests
had
the motion of Mr.d the mob
F,ITZ GERA and taken part in the riot.--Upon
,anew writ was ordered
for Clare.
DURHAM ELECTION.—Mr. BRAMSTOM reported from
the select committee that Lord Adolphus Vane was not
duly elected for the city of Durham, that the last election
Was a void election, and that Lord Adolphus Vane was
by his agents guilty of bribery at the last election, but
that it was not proved it was done with the knowledge of
Lord Adolphus Vane.
THE COINAGE.—In reply to questions, Mr. J. WILSON
said that the demand for gold coin having abated, arrange-
ments Merits had been made for a very large coinage of
quantity
of
lighthat the report that there was an unusual
gold coin in ircula•ion was unfounded.

vis:.ins in reference to corps-.tire prlperty it was proposed
to embody in a separate bill, as being more for public
convenience.—After some further discussion. the bill was
read a second time, and the committee fixed for Monday.
SPIRITS.—The house went into committee successsively
upon the Excise Duties on Spirits Bill and the Customs'
Duties on Spirits Bill.
IRISH TENANT RIGHT.—On the order for committing
the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill, Mr. Serjeant
SHEE and Mr. V. SCULLY pressed for the postponement
of this stage, on the ground of want of time for consider-
ing the provisions of the biil.—Sir J. YOUNG objected to
delay, observing that the measure had been maturely con-
sidered by a select committee fairly chosen. That corn -
mittee had rejected Mr. Serjeant Shee's bill by a con-
siderable majority, and they were of opinion that the
machinery of Mr. Napier's bill was too complicated.
This bill was the bill of the committee.—After some
further conversation, the motion for committing the bill
was withdrawn.

LAW.—Upon the report on the Taxing Officers. Com-
mon Law Business (Ireland) Bill, a discussion arose upon
an amendment moved by Mr. I. BUTT, to make the
qualification for principal officer the being an attorney in-
stead of a barrister, which was negatived.—The bill was
then recommitted, in order that the question as to the
amount of the salary of the taxing officers might be con-
sidered.

The writ for Canterbury was, on the motion of Mr
KEY SEYNIER, further suspended until the Bth of July.

AN IMPUDENT SCOUNDREL, named Griffiths, called at
the house of Mr. Curry, publican, Birkenhead, and,
feigning to be suddenly seized with illness, was taken into
the yard. Observing the window of an apartment open,
he abstracted a quantity of wearing apparel that was
lying upon a table. He then attempted to make his
escape by climbing over the yard wall, but was pursued
and given into custody. On Thursday he was brought
before the magistrates, who committed him for trial.

THE DEE AND NORTH WELSH FISHERIES: Contrary
to the Severn salmon fishing, the take on the river Dee
has this season hitherto been very small ; indeed far more
so than for some time past. This is rather singular, inas-
much as the Scotch and some of the Welsh fisheries are
stated to be much more plentiful than ordinary. A stur-
geon has been caught, however, in the Dee, close to the
city of Chester. The trout and salmon streams in the
northern portion of Wales, where they have been properly
preserved, and the fish had fair play, generally yield well.
The streams of Merioneth, Carnarvon, &c., with the
South Wales, promise excellent sport, and attract nume-
rous anglers.
BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLun.---The first sailing
match of the season for yachts of the second class took
place on Saturday afternoon in the Great Float. The
prize, a handsome silver cup, was gained by Mr. Watkins,
the owner of the Black Joke, which won the deciding heat
in gallant style, her two opponents being the Una and
Maghull—the former an American craft sent over from
New York expressly to contest with the yachts belonging
to the Birkenhead Model Yacht Club. The Black Joke i
a new craft, by Mr. Bishop, a superior model yacht builder
at Birkenhead, and was very greatly admired. A floating
dep6t for keeping rowing boats, model yachts, &c., is
about to be moored in the Great Float, abreast the
Seacombe dam. The next race of this enterprising and
successful club will take place on the 29th instant for
first-class models.
THE EARL OF CHESTER'S REGIMENS OF YEOMANRY
CAVALRY mustered at Chester on the 3d instant, the
number of non-commissioned officers and privates being
540—Colonel Lord de Tabley, commandant. On Friday
and the three following days the troops were marched to
the Roodee, where they went through a variety of parade
and field movements. On the afternoon of Monday the
prize for the best shot of the regiment was contended for
in the meadows. The number of competitors was forty-
four men from each troop. The first prize was awarded
to Private Charles Blease, of the Congleton troop ; and
the second prize to Private Peter Stelfox, of the Tatton
troop. In the afternoon of Monday the selected swords-
men of the regiment, twenty in number, contended for
the sword prizes. The prizes consisted of a beautiful
silver tankard, value £2O, for the best swordsman of the
regiment, and £5 to the second best. The first prize was
gained by Private Shatwell, of the Adlington troop, and
the second by Sergeant Boyle, of the Stockport troop.
On Wednesday the regiment was inspected by Colonel
Yorke, of the Ist Dragoon Guards, at a grand review
held on the Roodee. Cavalry races followed, affording
an infinity of mirth and good-humour to the multitude.
And we doubt not, whenever the Prince of Wales shall
be old enough to co-operate with Lord de Tabley in the
command, his Royal Highness will be as proud of his
own regiment as was the worthy inspecting officer.

LAUNCH OF THE MANX FAIRY.—On Saturday, the
new Ramsey steamer Manx Fairy was launched from the
building-yard of Mr. Laird, at Birkenhead. Notwith-
standing the inclement weather, a considerable number of
spectators was present, among whom were several gentle-
men from the Isle of Man. The ceremony of naming was
performed by Miss Collister, of Ramsey, with much dex-
terity. The Manx Fairy has been built on the most im-
proved lines for beauty and speed, and is expected to be
the fastest vessel trading to the port. She is 160 ft. long,
231 t. beam, and 13ft. 6in. depth of hold ; and has been
constructed on the same model as the Countess of Elles-
mere, the smartest and fastest steamer, according to her
size and power, on the Mersey. She will be fitted up with
engines of 200 horse-power, by Messrs. Fawcett and Co.,
and will be ready for her station by the beginning of July.
The large steam-ship Nubia, upwards of 2,000 tons, which
Mr. Laird is building for the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, is nearly in frame, and excites great admiration
by her colossal proportions ; and alongside is the
Lusitania, for the South American Company, in a suffi-
ciently forward state to justify the prediction that she will
be launched within a month. At the Liverpool yard, at
the Dingle, the keel of the Biahama is laid, and her fore-
body is up. The Collaroy, for the South Australian
trade, is in a forward state, and will be launched shortly.
A. smart little screw-vessel, for the South American coast-
ing trade, has been commenced ; and the keel and stem of
the Peru, the sister ship to the Nubia, have been laid.

headed Grapeshot, and held the lead to the distance, where she

by Filbert, who won by eight lengths.
THURSDAY, JUNE 9.—The presence of the Queen made
this day the grand attraction of the meeting, when the largest
and most fashionable assemblage ever known was congregated
on the Heath. There had been during the night a good deal of
rain, and the morning was very gloomy, but. beyond one smart
shower, the weather remained fine during the day. As the ma-
jority of the public had reserved themselves for the grand day,
in order to combine a peep at royalty with a view of the excit-
ing " Cup race," in which so many of the cracks of the day
were about to meet, the chances of the weather were set aside.
and the road from the metropolis bore somewhat the aspect of
" the road in the olden time."

Lady Evelyn, Defiance and The Indian Warrior being quite
beaten. Near the last turn Kingston gave way, and on enter-
ing the straight running Teddington drew rapidly on Stockwell,
