IREL.AND.

Cattle stealing is still of nightly occurrence in the Cork
county. On Saturday night a fat heifer was killed on
the farm of a man named Driscoll, at Blarney, and the
carcase stolen.

A number of pairs of stockings knit in the Industrial
School of Fermoy, have beenellotted a place at the world's
exhibition. They are valued by hosiers at a guinea per
pair, and are said to far exceed in design and fabric any
hosiery heretofore produced.

',A soldier of the 92nd Highlanders, named James Gran-
dison, committed suicide on Saturday week, at the bar-
racks, Kilkenny, by shooting himself through the head
with his own musket. Tt appears that the poor fellow had
suddenly received an account. of his father's death, and
that his mother.had been ill-treated at home by another
son, and this affected his mind.

ROMAN CATHOLIC FRIARS.—The Cork Examitzer
states that official instructions have been received by par-
ties in that city " to institute inquiries as to the exact
number of the friars belonging to the different religious
orders established in Cork." That journal adds, "It is
presumed, whether justly or not it is impossible tp say,
that those inquiries, which have been also commenced in
other places, are with a,view to some hostile movement on
the part of the Government."

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—,On Monday & considerable
number of the most respectable inhabitants of Mitchels-
tovvn, Cork, were assembled at an auction of books,
prints, and articles of vertu, when the floor of the room in
which the company was assembled suddenly gave way
with a fearful crash, and the greater part, including the
auctioneer, and several ladies of the College, were pre-
cipitated, together with tables, chairs, a heavy side-board;
glass ware, &c., &c., and also a large supply of razors just
in the act of being sold, into a vault beneath, which had
become nearly full of water, the drainage of many years.
To add to the danger and terror, a partition wall gave
way, encumbering with a heap of dust and rubbish the
unhappy sufferers below, while for some minutes it was
apprehended that the whole building would fall. Fortu-
nately this did not happen, and assistance being soon
procured, the parties were extricated, having suffered only
a few cuts and bruises, and the fright of so sudden an
immersion in a cold bath.
