STEAM COMMUNICATION FROM IRELAND TO
AMERICA.

The voyage from England to America by steam not hav-
ing been accomplished when the railway commissioners were
appointed, they were specially instructed to inquire into the
subject of a steam communication between some Irish port
and America. They have accordingly reported at consider-
able length on the various points connected with this ques-
tion; but after the successful accomplishment of that voyage
which has now taken place from England, it is needless to
refer to more than one or two of the commissioners' obser-
vations. In coissidering the best port for steam communi-
cation with America, Tarbert, on the Shannon, is the only
port which the commissioners consider likely,- to compete
with Cork for that purpose; and as it would render neces-
sary an extension of :10 miles of railroad (from Limerick),
while it is only 46 miles to the nest of Cork, they think the
latter would, upon the whole, be the most advantageous. If
the railway from Dublin to Cork were executed, the journey
from London to Cork would be performed in 29 hours (al-
lowing 20 miles per hour for railway travelling) ; which, as
it would save two or three days to the mails and passengers
from London to America, the commissioners imagine would
secure the conveyance of the London mails to be established
by that route. From Glasgow and Liverpool one or two days
might be saved in like manner, while the facility would be
still greater, and the expense proportionally less of joining
the vessels at Cork. The commissioners suppose the usual
course would be, that the steam-vessels making, this voyage
should take in the bulk of their cargo, fuel, &c., in Great
Britain, and then touch at Cork for the mails and the re-
mainder of their passengers, cargo, fuel, and othersea stores.
Bristol is the only British port which offers advantages neatly.
balancing those of Cork. From London to Bristol by rail-
way, and thence by sea to Cork, would require about the same
time, or a little more, than by the proposed railway to Cork,
but the former route would be more subject to occasional de-
lays from adverse wind and weather. Although, therefore,
passengers and letters from London and the South and West.
of England might be conveyed to America nearly as quickly
and conveniently from Bristol as from Cork, yet, from Liver-
pool and all places north of it, the journey to Cork would be
as short and easy as to Bristol, while the former port is one or
two days' voyage nearer to America. And even the Bristol
vessels would. probably find it their interest to touch at Cork
for passengers from the North, and to complete their fuel and
stores. If a line of packets were established for the convey-
ance of maili and passengers alone, in which case the short-
est distance would be the great cousideratiott, the commis-
sioner; think that Torbert, ou the Shannon, might perhaps
be the most appropriate port for that purpose.—Limerick
Standard.

TATTERSA LL'S.—TuzinAY.

A considerable portion of the afternoon was occupied in
settling for the first day's racing at Newmarket; many spe-
culators, however, did not take the trouble to settle either in
person or by agent, so that their accounts are likely enough
to stand over till the spring ; great complaints were made on
this neglect. Several bets were made on the Derby; Acce-
llerator. Erin-go-Bragh, and Zimmerman were in request,
but Epidauris fell back several points, and 4 to 1 was bet
against the whole lot. The only •change in the favourites
was in Westonian and Flambeau, against. whom there were
plenty of offeis. The room closed us foliows

NEW IDEA.—A Chicago paper states that the fever and
ague is becoming so prevalent•out west, that the settlers are
straining their wits to turn its movements to some useful pur-
pose. Among other projectes it.has been estimated that ;be
shaking of twelve men would propel a boat of 100 tons. If
this is correct, the days of steam are numbered.
DISGRACEFUL PRIZE FlGHT.—Another of these disgrace-
ful exhibitions took place last week on the borders of Buck-
inghamshire and Oxfordshire, between a notorious pugilist
named Hannan, 'and enOvice- called' Walker. After the
men had knocked each other about for more than an hour
to the infinite gratification of a large crowd of thieves and
other ruffians, the "sport" was interrupted by the arrival of
two magistrates; but these gentlemen, instead of taking the
offenders into custody, merely compelled them to move into
the adjoining county, where the fight was renewed, and lasted
another hour. Both the blackguards were dreadfully dis-
figured, especially Walker, the loser of the fight; scarce a
feature of his face could be seen from the battering which it
had received.

ANGLESEY REGISTRATION.—The North IVales Chronicle,
in support of the assertion which it made about a week ago,
that Mr. Edward John Stanley's brother had, like himself,
received notice to quit his seat in parliament, says, "we
have pleasure in presenting our readers with the subjoined
statement of the comparative strength of parties in Anglesey,
the result of the last registration ; and should any constitu-
encies falter in their progress to, or lose sight of, the goal to
which Conservatism directs their steps, let us point out to
them the bright example of Mona's sons, and bid them go
and do likewise.

THE MURDER NEAR Gtossop.—\Ve noticed in the Guar-
dian of Saturday last, the fact of the apprehension of a man
on suspicion of being concerned in the atrocious murder
committed on Wednesday morning, at Cold Harbour, near
Glossop. The coroner's jury. at the inquest on Friday morn-
ing, returned a verdict of wilful murder against some per-
son or persons unknown. Blocksage was therefore discharged
from custody, together with another man who had been ap-
prehended. The body remained without being identified
until Saturday evening, when three men who came to view
it (having heard the description of the deceased) stated that
they knew the body to be that of a man named Thomas
Manning, or Manain, an Irish labourer, recently employed
on the North Midland Railway. Upon hearing this, Mr.
Sheppard, the constable, on Monday morning, went to Ro-
therham, and found out where the deceased had lodged. He
was informed that the deceased had been persuaded to leave
his work on the railway ; and he would probably have about
twenty-five shillings in his possession. He went off in com-
pany with a man named Michael Mooney, about 40 to 45
rears of age, five feet six or seven inches high, stout, with a
boil on the right cheek, and a tooth wanting in front. Mooney
wore a black woollen hat, dark ground round jacket, knee
breeches, dark grey stockings, and strong shoes. A public
meeting of the inhabitants of Glossop was covened for Mon-
day evening, for the purpose of offering a suitable reward for
the apprehension and conviction of the party or parties con-
cerned in the murder. Owing to some negligence, the Man-
chester police had received no official intelligence of the
murder. Manning is stated to.have been a native of Cronken
Hill, ne..r Philip's Town, King's county Ireland.—Man-
cheater Guardian.
