the cOmmenCetnent of the nndertakingi'are on the eve of ern-
barking for Calcutta, and communications on the subject of this
important work have been opened with the Governor-General
India, An absurd ieahas been entertained by parties here
that the work is to commence at Seaga-4! Island, a mere swamp,.

Piplated.. The harbour is to be formed at or near Coreleon

FATIJER WALSH'S DEATH.-At the Carlow assize's, on Sa-
ti tttrday last Mr. Sly was put on his trial for the murder of Priest
s, al*, who some months since, drunk or sober, tumbled from
"is horse and broke his neck: Speaking of the abintinable con-
t.
sei'acy tO fix the charge of murder upon an innoceonman, the
Oblin Evening Mail saws—" The attempt was sustained by the
evigenee of two informers. who were so well drilled in their tee-
,"inotly as to repeat in court verbatim the informations they had
sworn months before. Now, this was rather an overdoing of the_
thing, and shows a lamentable want of deXterity—a
ness which we-should not have expected in the contrivers of
this diabolical plot against the life of an innocent man, and the
"meter of the
.protestant religion. The learned judge was
'3E9 if()Telhly struck with thit remarkable coincidence. The two per-
•i•n" however, against whom the jury etpresSed their proper
L"'Nnation, are both in custody for the perjury, and will take
!heir trial at the, present assizes; They appear to be wretched
"nis, and we trust that the proceti Of iravestigatiou will develope
iheovtlole of this dark conspiracy;
