The anniversary of the battle of Aughrim (the 12th
July) wilt be celebrated at Enniskillen this year with more
than usual grandeur. _ .

IS IT POSSIBLE ?—A touching sight may be witnessed
at the Public Works at Park. a poor young woman, with
a child at her breast, employed in breaking stones. So
says the limerick Chronicle.
ARRIVALS OF POTATOES.—From the Ist to 15th June,
there arrived at Union Quay 33 hookers containing
65,463 weights of 21:bs. of potatoes. During the c.it re-
sponding days of the previous year, 30 cargoes arrived
amounting to 41,820 weights, so that this year, as com-
pared with the preceding, there is an excess of 23,643
weights sold at that quay.—Cock Constitution.
CHARITY UNCHARITABLY ADMINISTERED.--The
relief committee of Temule,!erry•, county of Tipperary,
have adop ed a most extraordinary mode of effecting the
charitable designs for which they were constituted. In
last number of the Vmerick Reporter an advertisement
appears, purporting to have been published at the instance
of the committee, holding up to scorn three landed pro-
prietors, by name, for having declined to contribute. The
Dublin Evening Packet intimates that Bach a course is
exposing the individuals to assassination.

SELF-DEVOTION.—A very melancholy catastrophe oc-
curred on Sunday last at a place called Ballyglass, in the
neighbourhood of Woodford. A man named Flanagan,
tenant to the Hon. A. Nugent, who had been married
only two months, accompanied his wife to their farm for
the purpose of milking the cows. While slie was thus
employed, the husband went to bathe in an adjoining
; his cries soon attracted his wife's attention ; she
ran to his ass.stance. plunged in, and in the struggle both
perished.—Galway Vindicator.
Ds LIBERATE MURDIsR.—On the night of Thursday,
a farmer, Mr. James Fennell, was deliberately shot dead
when returning in his car from the fair of Kilkenny.
There were seated with him at the time his young son
and a servant girl, and two men named Mulhall were in
his company, one in front and the other in the rear of
the car, but no Attempt whatever was made by them to
arrest the assassin. A person named Boyle, however,
with whom deceased had had a quarrel, having succeeded
him in a farm, has been taken into custody.— [Whilst
these appalling deeds of blood are committed, the Impe-
rial Legislature is wrangling and hesitating about the
passing of a measure for the better protection of the live
of innocent men !] .

THE FA MINE ISELHSION.—The accounts received from
nearly every part of Ireland contain the most satisfactory
statements respecting the supply of provisions, there be-
ing no scarcity, but a comparative abundance, of hod.
The followi, g is an extract from a private letter received
by a gentleman in this town from a friend at Rockfield.
Stranorlan. Donegal!—" I am sure you will be glad to
observe how gradually the cry of famine in Ireland has
died away. Contrary to all expectation, end all predic-
tion, the supply of potatoes, and oatmeal, &c. is very
abundant, and the price comparatively cheap ; and I am
happy to be able to inform you that in the north of Ire-
land I believe there is rather less want and destitution
just now, than is usually the case at this season of the
year, in consequence of more employment and better
wages on railroads. &Lc. The weather here is all that
could be desired, and the appearance of the growing crops
most promising." _

OT:ONNELT: AND REPEAL.—Our readers are aware
that it has been stated by the Dublin Evening Mail, that
Mr. O'Connell said at the meeting at Lord J. Russell's,
" All he ever wanted was a real union, the same laws, the
same franchises. &c. ;" and it was consequently inferred
by some, that O'Connell would abandon repeal so soon R.
the Whigs came into office, and that some compact had
been entered into by these pirties, either tacit y or other-
wise, wiih this understanding. The Nation of Saturday
devotes an article to this rumour. and ,tales that though
it has not the authority of Mr. O'Connell to contradict
this, still it pronounces the whole a falsehood. From the
tone and general sprit of the leading articles in that jour-
nal, we should, however, say that it w4s not devoid of
tears about a split in the repeal ranks. It urgently warns
the peop!e of Ireland to beware of "sham repe,ders" and
Whig treachery, and not be humbugged by the cry of
" beloved Normanhy" and " amiable Morpeth." From
this we should th nk a si.lit in the repeal ranks is at hand.
Tine will tell. The 21fail scheres to its st ;t,ment.

WHAT NEXT ?—An advertisement appears in most of
the Dublin Roman Catholic papers of this present week,
and which is one of the most extraordinary documents
that ever met unblushingly the eye of a Christian people.
This advertisement is headed "Tale Catholic Missionary
College of All-Hallows, Drumcnndra, Dublin," and
contains an appeal to " the public'' for support to th's
institution, which is devo ed to the education of priests
for the foreign missions. The liberality of " the faithful"
is earnestly invoked, and, judging fra,m the magnitude of
the subscription list, to good purpose, upwards of £B,OOO
being already acknowledged ; and a variety of induce-
ments are supplied to stimulate Generosity, and swell the
contributions tr its funds. The document details first
certain privileges to he enjoyed by individual•' subscribing
a certain sum, and then comes the following, which we
print just as we find it, italics and all :—" The holy sa-
c, ifice of the Mass is offered up every morning for all
the Subscriber., and Benefactors—living and dead, and
for their intentions; they will, moreover, be entitled to
a participation in the writ of all the apostolic labours,
conversions, Masses, prayers, and other good works,
which may be the f, nil of this institution, throughout
the world to the end of time." And this appears on
Tuesday, June the 9th, in the year of grace one thousand
eight hundred and forty-six !!
REPEAL ASSOCIATION. Alderman Delahunty, of
Waterford, occupied the chair at the weekly meeting on
Monday. A letter was read from Mr. O'Connell, de-
pouncing Michael M'Donagh, James Daly, and John
Agnow, repeal wardens, at Manchester, as having " im-
properly and violently interfered in a differenc- respecting
the ecclesiastical jurisdiction in one of the chapels of that
town," and recommended that they should immediately
be struck off the roll of the association. The letter con-
demned the Coercion Bill, and censured the government
for not giving Ireland a franchise bill or amended Muni-
cipal reform.—A letter was read from Mr. W. S. O'Brien.
Mr. Meagher explained the reason of Mr. O'Brien's ab-
sence. A sense of duty had compelled him to go to
London, in order to record his vote against the Coercion
Bill. It was rumoured that a change of Ministry was
about to take place; but, whether or not, the principles
of the repeal association would remain unchanged. He
(Mr. Meagher) alluded to this matter, because it was
rumoured abroad that the people were to be purchased
back to the support of the Whigs ; but the repealers now
knew their strength, and would pursue an independent
policy, seeking for the restoration of their national legis-
lature. Some observations from this speaker gave rise to
a rather angry tone, but the matter was ultimately com-
promised by mutual explanatiors, which had been objected
to as insnit ng towards Mr. O'Connell. The rent fur the
week, which included £3l is. 9J. from Manchester, per
the Rev. Dr. H, arne, and £8 10s. from Liverpool, per
Mr. George Smith, was announced to be £lO9 4s. 4.1.
CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.--A great deal of excitement
prevailed in this city on yesterday, in consequence of a
report that two men belonging to one of the ships in the
river had died of cholera. This is not the fact, although
it is true that two men belonging to the Anne S mple.
from Liverpool, died under circumstances which have led
to the suspicion that their deaths were caused by poison.
On Wednesday, Dr. Beveridge was sent to visit a sick
man on board the Anne Simple. He found him in the
agonies of death, and the same evening be died. His
name ass Pa'r,ck M'Brearty, a native of Killehegs, in
the county of Donegal. He was a fine young man, about
twenty years of age, and w-is cook of the vessel. M
Beveridge found a lad on board who was very ill. He
had him removed to the Dispensary in Francis-street,
where he applied medical remedies with a very good effect.
lie is now in hospital doing well. The second man, who

I,as since died, was the mate of the vessel. His name was

Bober t Tobin, aged 25, a native of Fatrick, county Water-
ford. He was taken ill on Wednesday evening, and died
yesterday, about twelve o'clock. Several others of the
crew were attacked with the disorder from which these
men died. The symptoms being the same as occur in
ctses of poiso,ing, dysentry, vomiting, and convulsions,
suspicion was excited, and the inquest was adjourned to
Tuesday next, in order to give time for post mortem ex-
aminations by medical gentlemen of the contents found
in the stomachs. The bodies were conveyed to the new
ei,y court-house, where they were examined last night by
Drs. Lloyd, Beveridge, Parker, and Gelstin. From
inquiries as to the sort of food used on board, we learn
that the men were seized with illness after having par-
taken of some soup of which bailey was an ingredient.
The captain states that he had no arsenic or other poison
on board, and that the barley was purchased at a grooer's,
in Liverpool, and not at a druggist's.—Limerick Ex-
aminer of Saturday.
