IRELAND.

Rota! anb probintial 43,e1t)5.

The flour mills of Charles Malley, Esq. at Ballyvary,
near Castlebar, were destroyed by a flood a few days

A serious affray took place at Buttevant last week be-
tween the military and the peasantry, during which a
young man lost his life.
Another monster meeting took place at She° on Wed-
nesday. As usual the numbers present are estimated at
200,000 and the liberator uttered his customary harangues.
At the banquet subsequently the Romish bishops of El-
phin and Killaloe were present.
THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The proceedings at the
meeting on Monday were very dull, and the attendance
poor. On the chair being taken, the secretary announced
a letter from the " Liberator," which, however, merely
contained a few subscriptions. The week's rent was
£2lB Is. lid.
THE NEW COLLEGES.—The second order of the Ro-
man Catholic clergy of the diocese of Clonfert, fifty-three
in nnmber, have agreed to a declaration, expressing their
" entire and cordial concurrence with the archbishops and
bishops, in their declaration relative to the recent Act of
Academic education, being convinced that the measure,
in its altered as well as in its original form, is fraught
with the utmost danger to faith and morals."
CAPTURE OF TWELVE RIBBONMEN.—On Sunday
night week, a party of police succeeded in arresting
twelve Ribbonmen, while sitting in their lodge-room held
in a low public-house near Enniskillen. The books,
signs, and passwords, and every document of importance
connected with the illegal fraternity have been secured,
and will no doubt lead to further discovery as to the bane-
ful influence of Ribbonism. Two of the men have been
committed to gaol.
LONGEVITY AND ACTIVITY.—Mrs. Johnson, tenant
on the Castlemaine estate, in Kilkenny-west, although in
her 102 d year, has, the entire of this harveet, bound and
tied the corn after two reapers, competing with the ser-
vant maid whose ridge would be done first and best ; she
has also carded and spun two stone of wool, to be manu-
factured into clothes for her great grand children; and
she has not only spun the wool for, but also knit all the
stockings she and they wear, and almost every Sunday
walks to " the church that tops the neighbouring hill,"
immortalised by Goldsmith.—Westmeath Guardian.
LEGALITY OF ORANGEISM.—Mr. Napier, the eminent
Irish counsel, says, in reply to a case submitted to him,
" That it is perfectly laujul for a magistrate to advise or
encourage the reorganization of the Orange Society;"
and he uses these emphatic words, " The propriety of such
a step, like the exercise of any privilege, is a matter for
the discretion of the individual for his own guidance ; that
it is his constitutional right I have no doubt." He also
says. " That the Orange Society may be organised con-
sistently with law, retaining its former name, and acting
by affiliated branches." The opinion of Mr. Napier was
read at ati Orange meeting of about eighty gentlemen, at
the Town-hall, at Enniskillen, on the 10th instant, at
which the Earl of Enniskillen acted as president, and Mr,
Dane as secretary. _ .

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN BIRKENHEAD.

A special meeting of the commissioners of Birkennsad
was held on Friday evening. Mr. William Jackson was
in the chair ; and there were thirteen other commissioners
present. The object was to sanction several matters, be-
fore applying to parliament for power to carry them out.
Certain resolutions had been prepared by a committee of
the commissioners, and Mr. Mallaby read them. The
first was, in effect, to apply for powers to purchase the
basin and property adjacent to the north end of George's
Pier, for constructing a dock and conveniences for ferry
purposes; also, so much land and shore at Woodside as
might be necessary for the same purposes ; and also, land
necessary for making streets and improvements, on a plan
produced.—An amendment was moved by Mr. Brown-
rieg, seconded by Mr. Bentham, that the confirmation of
the improvements be adjourned until the estimate of the
expense be produced ; but this was lost, and the original
motion carried by 6 to 4.—On a letter being read from Mr.
North, as to the corporation of Liverpool extending the
jurisdiction of the Court of Requests to Birkenhead, &c.,
the proposition was objected to, and resolutions were
passed that parliament should be applied to, by the com-
missioners and others, for a Court of Requests to recover
debts under £2O, in Birkenhead and adjoining town-hips ;
also, that notice be given of the commissioners intention
to apply for powers to levy all local rates on landlords ;
also, that Mr. Lister value the land required for improve-
ments, and communicate with those of the commissioners
only who should report the result.—The Chairman said.
these matters were of great importance, and dwelt upon
the necessity of good landing places, which the Liverpool
Dock Trustees had to a great extent neglected to provide,
suitable to the growing population of Birkenhead, and the
traffic which the intended railways there terminating would
bring. He said, in carrying out measures of this sort we
have, therefore, so to arrange it, that we shall not only
fully supply the wants of 13irkenhead, and give ac-
commodation to railway passengers, but have proper
landing stages to render our boats almost like a bridge.
I would have it so that no pets in should come down to
the pierbead without finding a packet leo:1y to set his foot
in, which would go off immediately. The estimate of
expenditure which these projects will involve has not yet
been obtained; and in taking a vote on these resolutions,
I wish it distinctly to be understood, and I should recom-
mend that this understanding should apply to every part
of the resolutions, that the commissioners are merely
giving consent that notice shall be given ; ia order that if
any, or all of them should be adopted, they would suffer
no delay for want of the requisite notices having been
given. A Court of Requests was highly necessary, there
being now orly the county court at Neston to apply to,
but he would include Neston and other places in i s ju-
risdiction—including, in fact, all the hundred of Wirral.
He moved "That the proceedings of the Special Com-
mittee on the subject of notices to parliament be confirmed,
with the express understanding that no commissioner is
pledged to support the whole or any part of the measures
mentioned in those notices, but that a teport from the
committee be laid before this committee within a month,
(or further consideration."—After some conversation this
was agreed to unanimously.—The Chairman said he had
received a letter from Mr. Fielden, of Mollington, offering
commissioners

BALLINASLOE FAIR.—The cattle fair on the Bth inst.
was quite as good as any that has taken place for some
time, not excepting the fair of 1841, which was considered
a large and very good one in comparison with its prede-
cessors for years. The. stock upon the green was not
only an average one in number, but prime in quality, and
prices were proportionally high. The average increase
upon the prices obtained last October was from 15s. to
£1 on store stock, and from Ll to Ws. on fat stock, yet
there was such a demand for all clas4es of cattle, that
there was scarcely a prime beast to be had after eleven
o'clock. The prices on the fair day on all classes of
sheep varied from 4s. to ss. above those of 1844 ; and on
Monday (the second day) were so high as from 6s. to is.
above the sales of that fair.

—.—
THE POTATOE DISEASE.—The latest accounts from
Ireland on this subject are by no means satisfactory, or in
any way calculated to allay the just apprehensions of a
fearful scarcity, which just now seems ull but inevitable.
Vast quantities of diseased potatoes have made their ap-
pearance in the Dublin markets, and it is feared that the
crops about the metropolis have fared no better than those
in the neighbouring counties. To speak in any sense of
the failure of the potatoe crop, is not correct in expression.
The crop itself in Ireland is abundant in produce, and
would have exceeded an rterage by one-fifth, if not one-
fourth, had it come to perfection fit for use. But to the
extent, at least, of that excess over the average—if not
more—the produce has been destroyed. Destruction
therefore is the proper term by which the calamity should
be described.

THE WIGAN ELECTION

JENNY LIND.-A correspondent of the Musical World
writes thus of this celebrated vocalist :—" It is not true
Jenny Lind goes to England. or that Meyerbeer's Camp
of Silesia will be produced at Drury-lane. I have the
information from Meyerbeer himself. 1 was somewhat
disappointed with the vocalist, whom I heard in Norma
a, a theatre in Cologne. My impression was that she could
in no way be compared to our own Adelaide Kemble.
Her reception was enthusiastic, but as the opera advanced
the reception became cooler and more cool, and at the
conclusion the encore to the final aria was successfully
opposed. Jenny Lind was, however, recalled before the
curtain—as she was after the first scene in the opera—but
what a difference in the zeal and unanimity of the audi-
ence ! The first call was the general, the last proceeded
from the friends of the young artist. The other per-
formers in the opera were indifferently indifferent. Jenny
Lind is re-engaged at the Grand Opera of Berlin at splen-
did terms. Her present engagement will expire Novem-
ber 1, 1846, for which period she is re-engaged for three
years at 25,600 thalers (nearly £4OOO a year,) and fifty
thalers (something less than 4:8) extra for every perform-
ance. Besides which she is entitled to a conge of two
months annually, which the direction of the Opera is at
liberty to purchase for 150 thalers (225.) Tbis is the
largest salary ever guaranteed to a German vocalist. In
person Jenny Lind is nothing remarkable. A fresh,
healthy young woman, with a good figure, and that is all."
