IRELAND.

Henry Arthur Herbert, Esq., M.P., is about to open a
r ‘odel farm of 100 acres on his property .in Castleisland.
THE SEA SERPENT AGAlN.—According to snot her letter
in the Cork papers the sea serpent was off Kinsale on
Monday last.

Inquiries are instituting by-officers of the government
in respect to the facilities afforded by harbours around
the west coast of Ireland, for the purposes of a Transat-
lantic Packet Station.

THE SEA SERPENT.—The Royal Alice steamer, on
Wednesday, left Cork, calling at Passage, Monkstown,
and Queenstown, returning to Cork in the evening with
excursionists, in search of the great sea serpent!
ROMISH LOYALTY.—The health of the Pope was
toasted with supreme honour at the ecclesiastical dinner
in Thurles College on Tuesday, but that of her Majesty
was omitted.— •Limerick Chronicle.

In Ireland there has not. been a single convert to Romish
doctrines from among the Clergy of the Erudish Church,
simply because there all the glaring evidences of the falsity
of Romanism are manifest—here they are not so frequently
seen.

A councillor of Cork has addressed the council of that
borough, in the public prints, offering himself as a candi-
date for the office of Mayor. He declares his intention of
withdrawing, if any member of the body who has not yet
served the'office shall come forward.

EXTRAORDINARY SHOT.—A few days ago Mr. Plun-
kett, brother to the Bishop of Tuam, and son of Lord
Plunkett, while shooting seals at the Bishop's loiße, in
the county of Mayo, fired at a cormorant on the wing
with a rifle, and having shot it in the neck, the bullet cut
in two a large conger eel, which the bird had in its throat
at the time.

ROMISH TOLERATION.—On Friday night week, a few
Orangemen, belonging to a lodge in Lurgan. were taking
their drums, for safe keeping, to the house of the master
of the lodge, who resides little more than a mile from
that town. When on their way, at Mulbuoy, they were
set upon by a large party of Roman Catholics, who broke
the drums in pieces, and left some of the Orangemen
lying on the road in a state of unconsciousness. The
attack was as sudden as it was decisive, some of the men
being badly beaten. The affair is to be investigated.
LORD LANSDOWNE AN " EXTERMINATOR."—The fol-
lowing is from the Limerick Chronicle:—'' Twenty-six
houses were levelled, after the occupants were ejected by
the sheriff, on the lands of Lixnaw, near Tralee, the estate
of Lord Lansdowne, last week, for non-payment of rent,
by the middleman. One person was killed by the fall of
his own house, which he was directed to pull down." At
all events, it cannot be said that this apparently cruel
.aring down whole villages is confined to Con-

system of t,

servative landlords. Whigs and Tories alike seem indis-
posed to give their lands for nothing and support a pauper
tenantry into the bargain.
CHARGE OF. MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A MILITARY
OFFICER.—An inquest was held at Mallow, on Friday
week, on the body of a child who was said to have died
from the effects of-a blow inflicted on him with a whip
by Captain H. K. Bushe, of the 59th Regiment. It ap-
peared that the captain was proceeding through a lane
with two or three dogs, when the deceased struck one of
the dogs and made him yelp. The captain then turned
round arid gave the boy a severe blow with a long whip
on the head, and the boy then fell against a wall, and
would appear ultimately to have died from water on the
brain. The jury. however, found a verdict of " Man-
slaughter against Captain she."

STATE OF KILRUSH
was struck on Saturday on the unfortunate unit
rush. How the small farmers—or even the large o____
are to meet it is beyond their means of guessing. In the
face of this dreadful distress it is melancholy to be re-
ceiving almost daily reports of further evictions—of houses
levelled, and their occupants flung upon the ratepayers.
One morning's post brings the account of 12 houses le-
velled at Crag-64 persons evicted from them. At Clon-
redden, the property of the Marquis of Conyngham, 36
houses levelled-240 persons evicted. At another place,

ther rate of 6s

A Kul-

on the property of Mr. Benton, 35 persons evicted

report goes on to say :—" The wreckers are still at work
at Carrigaholt and Dromellihi. The moment I have them
catalogued you shall have lists, together with lists of about
13,000 persons unhoused, for the last two years, in the
union of Listowel."

THE SYNOD OF THIIRLES.—Tha result of the discus-
sions of the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy have not been
officially announced. The synod, however, have not been
content w:th declaring against the colleges. A Roguish
university is announced by private subscription. The
clergy are to contribute to it 2 per cent. out of their in-
comes, and Dr. Cantwell has put down at once £ll,OOO.
A committee is formed, and the scheme has already ad-
vanced to that point where most Irish schemes have
