DEPARTURE OF MR. MITCHEL FOR BERMUDA:7
The Cork Reporter, of Thursday, contains the following;
—" John Mitchel stands no more on Irish soil. He was
removed at four o'clock this morning to the Scoury
steamer, which arrived in the harbour yesterday,
sailed for Bermuda this morning. If twelve months Pre
over ere he stands again, a free man, on his native shore,
Ireland deserves all the obloquy and disgrace that can De
inflicted on her. Bermuda is one of the strongest r•
tresses in the Queen's dominions, another St. Helena.'
THE " UNITY" OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHEWS:
—lt is pretty well known that a war has been for some
time raging between the Roman Catholic Bishop of KO"
loe and the renowned Father Kenyon, the latter of who'll
was suspended by his superior, for the utteranceof a Sep'
tious speech some week back. The priest of Ternplederrr
refusing to swallow his words, or, like Father Berming•
ham, clothe himself in sackcloth and ashes, has since'
taken his proper position as the spiritual leader of tn°
Dublin revolutionists ; and scarcely had he entered In
his new vocation when an address, purporting to Oman°
from his former parishioners, was presented to Bisbe4
Kennedy, reprobating the attacks that had been :ran
upon him by certain parties for the course he had adorr,
with reference to the brace of warlike priests whOse son.
'
had brought such scandal on the diocese of Killalne'
This was rather too strong a dose for the stomachs of the
men who nailed the chapel doors against the entrance°r
the priest appointed to do Mr. Kenyon's duty, and aci
cordingly a counter-declaration, signed by some 120 of
the Kenyonites, has been forwarded to the Bishop, in the'
course of which these undutiful children of mother churell.
have protested against the Bishop's proceedings.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—On Thursday, an informons"
was sworn by Mr. David Haynes. of Thomand-square,
before John Bagnell, Esq., that he had reason to be'
lieve that a hostile meeting was about to take place be.
tween Mr. William Buckley, of Sullivan's-quay, and 3it'
Abraham Haynes, of Ballygaggin. A warrant was 9:‘".
cordingly issued, and shortly after Mr. Buckley was
rested and held to bail ; yesterday Mr. Haynes gave sin'.
lar bail, himself in
.£lO and two sureties in £29 each'
The dispute, it appears, arose on account of Mr. Baynesshooting one of a flock of swans which flew from the Pre'
perty of Sir Augustus Warren to Sunday's Well.. v:
that occasion, Mr. Buckley went on Mr. Haynes greuri,
and told him that no sportsman would be guilty of such
an act. Mr. Haynes retorted by ordering Mr. Buckley tn,
leave his ground or ______. The parties did not meet
until Tuesday at the Monkstown races, when
Buckley rode up to Mr. Haynes, who was also mown
tel
1
and after a hasty interchange of epithets, the whiP,°
either gentlemen was brought into active service. ".
,"
combatants being separated, Mr. Buckley retired to WI
stand-house tavern, and wrote a hostile message, which
was duly delivered to his antagonist, but up to the time of
the swearing of the informations the gentlemen failed in
procuring friends who would risk the consequences of at-
tending them to the sod.—Cork paper.

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN IN FAVOUR OF REP- ss,
The address of congratulation on the birth of a Prince
presented by the Lord Mayor of Dublin and several os
t
members of the Corporation, to the Queen, on Thur.cro'sv
contained, among others, the following passage Itienoc,
Gracious Majesty, we humbly and with all due defer of
venture to suggest that the main cause of the iniso-
Ireland is that her laws are not made by an Irish Par,A,

effectual course to restore her prosperity, to preserved',
integrity of the empire, and to attach most of the Power
of Ireland, is by the restoration to Ireland of the fittest
to make her own laws and to manage her own ref Asia'
by the repeal, as speedy as possible, of the act of ileritish

Parliament." The following is her Majesty's rePu; felt
