THE 'IMVERPOOL STANDARD.

YiT THE REVEAL ASSOCIATION, Onlvfonclay. 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 them, 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.
HORRIBLE DizATTis.—,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
upon and gored to death by a furious cow, the property of
her son ; she was not many minutes out of the house,
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
cradle, was, in the absence of the mother, attacked and
torn by a ferocious pig, at Clontanny, near this town ; the
child languished until Sunday, when death terminated her
sufferings —Leinster Express.
OPENING OF A NEW TRAFFIC WITH IRELAND—IM•
FORTATION OF SHEEP.—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-leature in the live 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 cou•ntry.—Freeman's Journal.
Disrscss tx CORE..—Last Thursday, a very numerous

meeting was held at Cork, the Earl of Bandon in the chair,
to consider the present distressed state of 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 approcbing 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."
