IRELAND.

- MR. Join; SADLEIR, of the Treasury, is a candidate for
the borough of Sligo.
Two YOUNG LADIES, belonging to a boarding-school
at Loughrea, were drowned while bathing on Wednesday.

MR. Joe O'CormuLL, in a letter to the Times, denies
that his father desired the endowment of the Roman Ca-
tholic Church, and enters his protest against the assertion
that the Irish Catholics are " not loyal. '

EXCURSIONS IN GALWAY BAY.—A steamer is about
to be placed in Galway Bay, for the purpose of conveying
excursionists between the picturesque coasts of Clare,
Connemara, and the isles of Arran.

A CONTRACT has been concluded by the ballast-office
with the übiquitous Mr. Dargan fur the construction of
graving docks at the North Wall, Dublin. The sum is to
be £60,000, and the work will, no doubt, be expeditiously
accomplished.
ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.—The Louth Pilot an-
nounces, on " excellent authority," that her Majesty has
promised to honour Lord Cremorne with a visit this sum-
mer, at Dawtrey-house, when her Majesty will proceed to
Crom Castle, the residence of the Earl of Erne, in the
county of Fermanagh.
FOG BELL ON THE SOUTH STACK, HOLYHEAD.—A
short time ago, a petition emanated from the captains of
mail-packets to the Trinity Board, praying that a fog-bell
should be placed on the South-stack Lighthouse. Last
week, Captain Sarsfield, marine-manager of the City of
Dublin Steam-packet Company, received a communica-
tion from the company's agent at Holyhead, stating that
the desirability of such a matter had been made known
to the Admiralty Board, who had at once ordered the
suggestion to be complied with. It is only so late as the
6th of April that the schooner Glory, from Wicklow to
Liverpool, struck on the South-stack, in a fog, and
foundered.

THE CROPS.—Every drop of rain that has fallen might
be estimated at a money value. The country looks most
charmingly. Vegetation has made great progress. The
accounts from all parts of the country are extremely
cheering. New potatoes as large as tennis balls grown in
the open fields have been offered for sale. Not the
slightest indication of disease can be detected in the stalks
or tubers. The crop promises to be very large.

MEEKNESS.—The Romish priests of the deanery of
Mill-street, county Cork, held a " conference" on Tues-
day, at which they passed a set of resolutions which are
a model of plain-speaking, strong language. Lord John
Russell is proclaimed by ten priests to be a bigot, a hypo-
crite, a political swindler, and something more beside.
The representatives of the county Cork are told that
great as was their crime in voting for the late budget,
they will be forgiven if they acquit themselves to the
satisfaction of the clergy in this crisis.
THE LonErro NUNS.—•A case, involving a nico point
of law as affecting conventual life, has been for some
time before the Court of Chancery. It was a cause
petition, presented on behalf of Miss E. Blake, a pro-
fessed nun in the convent of Loretto, Rathfarnham, and
sister of the late Mr. James Henry Blake, Q.C. Mr.
Blake having died intestate, Miss Blake seeks that an
account be taken of the property of her deceased brother,
and that it be equally distributed between the petitioner
and her sister. The question before the court was, whe-
ther the petitioner, being a professed nun and a member
of a monastic order of the Romish Church, should, or
should not, be considered in law civilly defunct and inca-
pable of being an inheritress of property. The argu-
ments occupied two whole days, and the Chancellor
granted the prayer of the petition.

DUBLINUNIVERSITY COMMISSION.—The Evening Mail
gives a resume" of the contents of a " ponderous blue-
book," with which the public have been favoured by the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the state
in the
the
Dublin University. The suggestions embodied the
report are all pretty nearly regarded with favour by the
friends of " Old Trinity," and pains are taken to show
that the document has completely dispelled all miscon-
ception as to the alleged enormous revenues of the college
and its corporation. It seems that the average receipts of
the university are only about £64,000 per annum ; the
income of the provost some £3,500, with a residence;
the average income of a senior fellow nearly £l,BOO a
year; and of a junior fellow in the middle grade of tutors
about £670 per annum ; to which are to be added free
chambers and commons. The commissioners do not re-
commend any diminution in the aggregate income of the
junior fellows, and suggest only a trifling deduction from
that of the seniors.

A MAN NAMED SHARP lately married a widow at
Stockport, two days after having buried his deceased wife.
His neighbours would have mobbed him at the church
had he not escaped by a side door.
