IRELAND.

ExECUTION•—On Friday Hacket and Noonan, the two
men convicted at the late Waterford assizes for the mur-
der of O'Callaghan Ryan, Esq., were executed pursuant
to their sentence.

COUNTY CARLOW ELECTION.—The election for the
vacant seat in the county Carlow is to take place on Mon-
day next. Mr. Henry Bruen has withdrawn in favour of
Captain M'ClintoCk Bunbury, a steady and consistent
Conservative.

THE EXODUS.—According to the Sligo Journal emi-
gration is going on as fast as ever, and bill-stickers are
running in all directions through the country posting
notices of sailings. No change in the condition of this
country would, we think, now stay the tide, and Ireland
will, in all probability, bo re-peopled by English and
Scotchmen within the next twenty-five years.
ATHLONE ELECTION.—The electors of Athlone are
well canvassed by this time. The Solicitor General has
been through the borough, attended by a bevy of priests,
and armed, it is stated, with a missive from Bishop
Higgins, calling on the faithful to vote for the late
leader of the Irish Brigade. The Young Irelanders are
busy " showing up" the deserter.

THE NEW DECI COlGE.—There is no doubt
that counting our copper coinage by fours and twelves
that would be avoided by making tenpence
very often ything into sixes and sevens—an
into a shilling. A proposition to this effect has been put
forward, and as we are very
cr l
to hear that two shillings

money, we shall be delighted
are to do duty for half-a.own and that if we owe the
latter sum, we pay the former in; discharge of the small
obligation. There is some difficulty,a we believe, as to
names

Weiunderstand that, in commemoration of the four.
teenth anniversary of the Philharmonic Society, a grand
musical festival and soiree will be given as a tribute of

THE WELSH NIGHTINGALE, MSS E. L. Williams, is

Miss 'Williams will visit Liverpool professionally in May.
" THE BLACK SWAN►" Miss E. T. Greenfield, who is
a negro vocalist of•some celebrity, has arrived in Liver-
pool by the Asia. She will proceed direct to London.
NEW PLAY.—Among the dramatic rumours of the day
is the mention of a new play, entitled The. Castilian, by
Sir T. N. Talfourd.

LUMLEY v. Gtr.—The demurrer in this case, which
relates to compensation on account of the non-appearance
of Madlle. Wagner, stands the third on the list for judg-
ment by the Court of Queen's Bench, and is expected to
be decided on the first day of term.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—" Henry V." continues to
be played at this house nightly with the splendour and
success which characterised the opening night. The
afterpieces during the week have been splendidly got up—
those clever derformers, the brothers Lauri, appearing to
great advantage.

MUSIC AND EMIGRATION.—Every evening this week
(except Saturday) Mr. Henry Russell will give, as a
prize, a ticket for a free passage to Australia. The winner
will have the option of going out in the Falcon, which is
to sail immediately, or by paying the difference in fare
may secure a berth In the Great Britain steamer.

THE WAVERLEY DRAMATIC ►SOCIETY gave a perfor-
mance on Wednesday evening last in aid of the fund for
the relief of the sufferers by the wreck of the Queen Vic-
toria. The attendance was numerous. Massinger's play,
" A New Way to pay Old Debts," " Diamond Cut
Diamond," and the drama of " Mary Queen of Scots,"
were the pieces selected. The efforts of the performers
were greeted with hearty applause.

HORTICULTURE.

The spring progresses with unusual slowness, and the
genial warmth of the sun, with refreshing showers of rain,
are beginning to be seriously wanted. In the glass struc-
tures, artificial heat and constant care, in a great measure,
remedy the evil ; but, in spite of all our care, things are
backward, and the early exhibitions of the season must
necessarily fall short of their usual splendour. Fuchsias
and geraniums should be potted in a good compost of:turfy
loam , with a very slight admixture of well-rotted dung; cow
manure is the best. Most plants in the stove and green-
house require a liberal supply of water, especially those
which are making vigorous growth. To insure handsome
plants, it is necessary to give them plenty of room, and
turn them frequently, so as to bring all sides under the
same amount of influence of the light. Orchids in the
store will require careful shading in sunny weather.
Flower Garden.—Annuals may be sown ; the hardy
ones in the open ground, and the tender ones on a hot-
bed, to be afterwards transplanted. Auriculas, in frames,
are now expanding into flower; a little judicious shading
will much prolong the blooming season. Tulips, Ra-
nunculuses, and Anemones should be shaded at night.

Kitchen Garden.—Continue to sow successional crops
of peas, beans, spinach, small sallating ; sow, also, beet,
parsley, chervil, and other pot-herbs. The newly-
planted cabbage and cauliflower plants must be kept
watered. This, however, lest the nights should be frosty,
should be done in the morning, so as to become dry by

the evening.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
BETTING AT MANCHESTER..—FRIDAY.
The Craven Messing at Newmarket has materially affected
the betting upon the Chester Cup and Derby. Contentment
and Defiance's performances during the week have lessened
the confidence in Trifle, against whom, although quoted here at
11 to 1 (offered), as much as 13 to 1 has been laid at Newmar-
ket. Dawson's stable, which has hitherto during the present
year been dormant, is not unlikely to hold a prominent posi-
tion in the betting for the Chester Cup. In the early part of
to-day 1,000 to 10 was laid against King of Trumps, but subse-
quent to his winning the Port Stakes we think 40 to 1 would
have been taken to some money, 30 to 1 being the highest
offer ; and Peggy, his stable companion, has been in force at 40
to 1 during the last few days. Latest prices :

the 20th instant, at Llangedwin ; and on Friday next, the 22d,

CRlCKET.—Liverpool, St. Helens, Chester, and Broughton
likelyare mentioned as to be honoured with the presence of
the All England Eleven during the forthcoming summer, but
the particular days are not yet fixed.

Lord John Scott's The Reiver, (own brother to Hobbie Noble,
Elthiron, Misserima. and Windhound,) winner of the July
Stakes, at Newmarket, last year, and since which time he has
been a great favourite for the Derby, broke down last week.
Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart., is about to transfer his bounds to
Henry Willoughby, Esq., (the heir to the Barony of Middle-
ton.) Sir Tatton has hunted the hounds for upwards of fifty
years. The hunters will be brought to the hammer at the
York Spring Meeting.

A new stake will be added to the list of York Spring Meeting
next year, by the licensed victuallers of York and the neigh-
bourhood. The stake will be called the Great Northern Han-
dicap, of 15 sous. each, with 300 sous. added, and will eventually
become as great a feature in the north as the Metropolitan is
in the south.

An accident of a serious nature took place at Ilsley a few
days ago, in which Mr. Osbaldestou's Brother to Mountain
Deer, and another two year old, ran away, and threw the boys
that were riding them, one of whom had his brains kicked out
on the spot, and the other was so severely injured that it is
reported he has since died.

We stated last week that Umbriel had been backed, in Lon-
don, to win the Derby, against West Australian, for large sums,
by a nobleman generally well-informed as to the intentions of
Scott's stable. On Wednesday last, £l,OOO to ..29 and £5OO
to £lO were taken that West Australian wins the Two Thou-
sand Guineas and Umbriel the Derby. The frequency with
which Umbriel has been lately backed for the Epsom event
must give additional confidence to his numerous admirers.
Mr. Knowles's Talfourd, the winner of the Newmarket Han-
dicap, is own brother to Colonel Peel's Tadmor, first favourite
for the Derby in The Flying Dutchman's year, to whom he ran
third. He was ridden by young Tom 011iver, a son of the
veteran steeple-chase rider, whose services have been perm_
nently secured by the stable. This was the maiden victory of
the well-known harlequin colours of Mr. Watt since they have
been adopted by Mr. Knowles. Talfourd was one of Lord
Ribblesdale's stud at the time it was disposed of to Mr. Knowles.
