LITERATURE.

Our friend Curry, of Dublin, has just brought out a
tidy volume, worth its own weight in gold, to all persons
who intend emigrating to Canada, or take any interest
in that portion of the new world. It consists of a series
of letters addressed to a Protestant clergyman of Ireland,
the Rev. T. Radcliff; by his sons, his daughter-in-law,
and other friends, who, driven out of Ireland by the
persecutions, outrages, feuds, and other crimes which
prevail there, have taken refuge in the wilds of North
America. It is painful to consider the inducements which
have led persons of superior manners and education to
hide their heads in the woods of Upper Canada, and sigh,
by the firesides of their log houses, buried in snow, over
the dearest recollections of home, childhood, and friendS,
in their far distant father land. But we have only to
call to mind the scenes that are of daily occurrence in
Ireland—the brutalized manners of the people—the
tyranny of priests and demagogues—the folly and weak-
ness of an ignorant administration—and it is easy to
discover the motive for self-banishment, and the wisdom
of preferring hard fare with peace and security in the
bush, to the luxuries with the dread of life which belong
to the finest mansion in Ireland. We lament also to
state that the emigration of Protestants is on a very
large scale. This eventually will have a deteriorating
effect upon the Irish character. It is bad enough already,
but if in the course of
events the Protestant population
should be expelled, which it is sure to be, if the present
ministerial measures are persisted in, and the designs of
Priest Spencer are accomplished, Ireland must become a
still more wretched and barbarous country than she is at
present.
The book contains ample details of the mode of settle -
ment, of choosing land, of building, burning, sowing,
reaping, hunting, shooting, fishing, &c. &c. There are
not, we sincerely hope, many of our readers who intend
emigrating, for which reason we pass over the more
valuable parts of the volume, in order to take a leaf or
two relative to the field, or rather forest and river sports
of Canada. We begin with
DEER SHOOTING.

The Winter after our arrival here, my brother and I made
our first essay, about sixteen miles bad: in the woods behind
our house.
However young at this particular sport, we were not inex-
perienced in the use of the rifle.
- Mine was of the true Yankee cut—three feet, six inches in
length—as heavy as a musket—the bore, calculated for balls
seventy to the pound; and his, a short Spanish rifle—two feet,
ten inches long—carrying half-ounce balls, thirty-two to the
pound.
We took a wide range for the entire day, and never got a
shot. We saw indeed abundant tracks, and many singles,* as
the deer darted off through the wood, but had no opportunity
of presenting our rifles with any prospect of effect. In de-
spondency we returned to the farmer's house where we were to
sleep, disgusted with our sport, or rather with our failure.
When the family were assembled in the evening, and talked
over our disappointment, the farmer, a thoroughbred Yankee,
said, yvell—i guess you know nothing about this here deer
shooting. I calculate I will go out with you to-morrow, and
see how you get on." We thanked him, and having received
from him some preliminary instructions, and a good breakfast
before daylight next morning, turned out with our host, in the
hope of a more successful day. He was even of greater value
to us as a model than as a monitor; for as soon as we got upon
the track of a deer, we could at once perceive b our compa-
nion's manner of proceeding, the true cause of our own failure
the preceding day. He was all quietness. We had been all
bustle. He walked silently and steadily along, takin. special
care not to break, or even touch the point of a branch': lest the
sound should disturb the game, ife had been slashing and
smashing every thing before us, which could not fail to rouse at
a distance, far out of view, or at least out of shot, a timid
animal, most susceptible of alarm.
Upon holding a council of war, at the suggestion of our
practised hunter, we ag, reed that my brother and I should
na ate on distinct treats, and our Mentor, in an under-tone,
You may have pretty considerable sport, I guess,
separate,
rto
if it be not your own fault—be silent and steady—l calculate
you will have to keep down your hands—well, step gently
through the snow—if you see a deer running past :hout out, and
I guess he'll stop—l wish you sport." Upon which he wheeled
about, and returned to his farm yard.
We observed his directions, and when some time on the
track which I had followed I found by it, that at a particular
place the deer had stopped, and turned, and sprung off again,
compassing a tremendous distance at each bound, leaving me
but little hope of coming up with him, though, by the indica-
tion of the snow, as I went forward, I could observe that he had
frequently stopped, and turned, but, alas! had again continued
his progressive course.
The snow being eighteen inches deep, and the walking very
laborious,
I sat down quite exhausted, to recover my fatigue,andsto consider how I was to get back'. Resting quietly, with
my rifle across my knees, I heard some branches snap • and
the next minute, a noble buck came dashing along, within'shot.
Springing up (as I had been instructed by the farmer,) I gave
a shout. That moment he stopped, snorted, and looked at me
—I fired; but, to my great disappointnient, he bounded on,
leaving me to conjecture how I could have missed so fair a
standing shot, and within twenty paces?
Having loaded again, I went up to the place where he had
stood, and found a large gush of blood on the snow. I felt as if I
had not walked a mile. In a little time I caught a glimpse of the
poor fellow within fifty yards—the trees however, were too close.
He moved slowly on, with droopingo head and lagging step,
and, stopping for a short space, lay d wn apparently in pain.
Then taking deliberate aim at the head, I fired. The branch-
ing antlers, by a quivering movement, indicatedl a short and
final struggle to rise—on coming up, found him street,chbeol
on his side and, for the first time, enjoyed the says
g
instinctive, 'delight of seeing an kmerican deer lyiug at my
feet, brought down by my own hand—what was next to be
done? I had left my knife behind me, and could not perform
the necessary operations in breaking up the deer, as it is
~erinc,d,
and must of course be burdened with the entire weight of the
interior—but how was I to drag along the first fruits of my deer
hunting career.
By a clumsy and fumbling application of my ramrod to his
nose, 1 succeeded in making a perforation sufficient to admit
the end of my handkerchief—securing it there, I movedt him
with difficulty along the snow: not havingl any means
his fore feet to his nose, (which i
in every log. and branch I passed, bsy..uwshiadchtyblaitvains ir•oentfaursToedo
and fatigued. Stopping to rest, I foun '4;thethe
of my joy, my rifle had been forgotten wherelfi
day, but for
red the last
shot, and it should have remained there till nett
the apprehension of its being covered by the snow of the night.
I returned for it; yoked myself again to my cumbrous but
honourable burden, and was proceeding gallantly, when the
head of the buck happening to catch on a stump. at a sudden
pull the handkerchief giving way, down I went head foremost,
ride and all, into the snow. My sporting ardor would not-
withstanding have made light of this, and of the weight I
dragged along, had I not discovered to my utter consternation,
that I was in a wrong track, and had completely lost my way.
Still moving on, however, my ear was gratified by a distant
shout to which, on my part, I most joyfully responded.
This gave me new life to tug along the trophy of my success-
ful sport—another shout! still nearer and more distinct—re-
turned by me of course—" a louder yet and yet a louder strain ;"
one other shout—and all was still.

The parties mutually attracted by the approaching signals,
had met, and shaken hands, and there appeared my brother
Charles, yoked to another deer!!
On asking him in what direction the farmer's house lay, I
was mortified to find that he knew as little of the matter as
myself. _ _

-He had a knife, however, which enabled me to lighten the
buck to which I was harnessed, and to brace his feet and head
in a more convenient manner for the draft. We then agreed
to keep straight forward in the hope of crossing on some con-
cession line,t which might direct us in our course; but the sun
had disappeared, the twilight was receding fast, and a faint
gleam of moonlight through the trees afforded us but precarious
assistance; at one place, however, where they were not so close,
a stronger light broke in, and Charles, in great joy, called out
that he had come upon a track; but judge what my disappoint-
ment must have been, and let me have the sympathy of all
brother sportsmen, who may learn that the buck, which had
travelled behind me for so many hours, was again lying within
a few yards of the very spot on which he had first fallen.
By this time, in sporting phraseology, I was completely done
up, and obliged to abandon my game from downright inability
to pull it after me another yard. My brother still stuck to his—
but saddled me with the weight of his rifle. Becoming, shortly,
as exhausted as .myself, his deer was also left behind ; and
struggling on a little farther, so weak were we with fatigue,
that we were deliberating upon ridding ourselves of the incum-
brance even of our rifles, when a sudden shot was fired beside
us—a horn sounded—almost in our ears, which we acknow-
ledged by a double discharge—and to our great joy discovered
that we were close to our good quarters of the night before;
whilst, to our utter amazement we were informed that we had
been all the time, so near the house, that the people repeatedly
heard our voices and were surprised at our staying out so late.
Our guide of the morning received us hospitably, guessing
"we had missed our way, and calculating that it would be better
if he had not left us, as he saw we did no good after all." Our
point of honour, as sportsmen, being called in question, we

LAW REPORT.

ADMIRALTY COURT, SATURDAY, JUNE 8.
THE RELIANCE—IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.
This was a question as to the validity of a bottomry bond, and
the decision of the learned judge is of considerable importance
to those engaged in mercanile and shipping affairs.
The Reliance left London in November, 18'27, for Calcutta.
Captain Hayes, her master, had a letter ou Gilmore and Co., of
Calcutta, for £lOOO credit, which the master was directed to lay
out in the purchase of goods, should he not get a full freight
back to London. The only power left to the Captain was, that
in the event of the Burmese war breaking, out, he might engage
her as a transport in the service of the bast India Company.—
The ship arrived at Calcutta in May, 18'28, and was placed under
the agency of Gilmore and Company. She was freighted to the
Mauritius with rice, from whence she proceeded to Van Die-
man's Land with sugar, returned to Calcutta, was again freight-
ed, and took trips to Arracan, the Mauritius, &c., Messrs. Gil-
more making advances, and taking freights, agency, costs, &c.
In the mean time the owners had scut out a letter approving of
the conduct of Captain Hayes, and directing him to return
home in ballast, if he could not get a cargo, but was afterwards
despatched to the Mauritius, &c. The vessel had been absent
from her owners three years, and at length Messrs. Gilmore ob-
tained a bottomry bond on the vessel fur WOO the validity of
which was opposed.
Dr. Addams and Dr. 'Mitcham contended for the owners that
the bond was not valid, Gilmore and Co. having as alleged,
made the advances on the credit of the captain also.
The King's Advocate and Dr. Nichol contended for the va-
lidity of the- bond.
Sir John Nicholl expressed regret that he should differ in
opinion from the late judge, (the case having been heard before
him and having expressed an opinion in favour of the bond, that
he bad not given judgment before he did) ; but he was bound
to consider ail the facts. The case was clear that a vessel could
not be hypothecated but for actual necessaries. The Reliance
was insured out and home; and the duty of Gilmore and Co.
should have been to obtain freight for the return voyage. In-
stead of which she was sent on various voyages, and it was clear
that the allowances were made by Gilmore and Co. on the credit
of the captain. They should have ascertained his powers to
employ the ship as he had done. A vessel could only be bound
by the captain under extraordinary, circumstances. The ship
might have changed hauds while abroad, or the owners become
bankrupts, and then a priority would be given over other credi-
tors. Notwithstanding the captain had her ordered home, she
went fresh voyages under the agency of Gilmore and Co., they
receiving the freight to pay their advances in part. After the
vessel had been away three years, Gilmore and Co. doubted the
authority of the custom, drew bills on the owners for advances,
wh.ch were protested, and then obtained a bottomry bond on
the vessel. The captain had uo power to bind the ship, no case
of necessity having existed to authorise him to do so. For the
general interests of commerce masters should have power in ex-
treme cases, when front accidents or other causes they could
make their home voyage without adonres. In the present case
no such necessity existed, and it was his duty to pronounce
against the validity of the bonds, and dismiss the suit with costs.

COURT OF REVIEW, SATURDAY, JUNE 8.

EX PARTE EVANS, IN RE WEBB.
Was
. .
a case of some mercantile importance; it was a
'petition
praying
an order of the Court to enforce the payment
of £938, on which sum the petitioner claimed to have an equi-
table lien.

In 147 the bankrupt, in co-partnership with Mr. Stewart,
carried on business in London as Bust India merchants, under
the firm of Webb and Stewart. In the month of February in
that year they purchased cotton goods to the amount of i.:,1:592
from the petitioner, who is an extensive Manchester dealer.
This suns was made payable in bills at 8,9, and 12 months'
date. The goods were destined for the East India market, and
accordingly shipped on board the Lady Nugent, bound for
Bombay. It was agreed between the parties, and letters con-
firming the agreement were exchanged, that after the arrival
and sale of this consignment, good bills, or foreign produce to
theth eb agents of
were pressed for mo-
ney, the value of the shipment, should be sent direct toile petitioner
Webb and Stewart,

and overdrew their account with their bankers L 13,000.
The house of Palmer, 111 hillop, and Co. guaranteed this
amount, and for their own security took possession of all bills
of lading and policies of insurance connected with the outward-
bound cargo. Evans
was completely ignorant of this transac-
tion, and rice versa Palmerand Co.r
of the bankrupt's previous engagements with the petitioner in
the cargo purchased from him. The

but, when off Portsmouth,
was found to be leaky, and com-
pelled to put back again; another
vessel, the Tyne vas '

tered, into which the Lady Nugent s cargo.
was transferred;
bills of ladina
new letters were exchanged with .kavans and fresh
Palmer
and policies of insurance deposited hands in the ofPa.mer au
Co. The Tyne left the port of London on the Bth of August,
and arrived in Bombay the following March . • the house there
immediately wrote home to the effect that they could not, as de-
sired by a letter from Evans remit to him direct, as by the ar-
rangements entered into in London they
were bound to return
the value of the cargo to Palmer and Co. only: by the same con-
veyance advices also came to Webb and Co. that the Tyne
bad nearly completed her homeward-bound cargo, and conse-
quently the value, with £5,000 for freight, was insured in Lon-
don, which further securities were lodged with Palmer and Co.
before sailing for England. The vessel accidentally caught
fire, and the part of the property saved was sold for the benefit
of the Underwriters, from whom Palmer and Co. recovered on
the securities lodged with them the amount of their debt, leav-
ings balance of £938, the sum now claimed by the petitioner,
as by the deception practised by the bankrupt they had in the
possession of these securities gained a priority over him, he was
entitled to' any balance remaining after the satisfaction of their
debt. The fiat against Webb was issued in September, 1828.
On the part of the assignees it was contended that no evi-
dence of a contract vesting an equitable lien in this money in
the petitioner had been adduced, and therefore this balance
should. be handed over to them for the benefit of the general
body of the creditors.
The Court decided, that though there was no actual evidence
of a contract having subsisted, yet enough could be gathered
from the bankrupts' letters to imply that such certainly did
exist, and therefore they were of opinion that the petitioner had
an equitable lien on this money, though perhaps it might be
said he had not a lien in common law; he had•pledged himself
to return it in the event of the assirees recovering the amount
in an action against Palmer, M‘Kt lop, and Co., the latter be-
ing, in fact, nothing more than the depositaries of this sum

CAL T TA

SUPREME COURT, TUESDAY, JAN. 29.
CRIM. CON.
JOHN HENRY PALSURAVE V. HENRY LECHNIERE WORRALL.

Mr. L. Clarke briefly opened the case.
Mr. Turton proceeded to state the circumstance of the case.
In December, 1828, Mr. Palsgrave, who was an assistant-sur-
geon in the Company's Military Service, was married at Decca,
to Mrs. Palsgrave, she being then in her eighteenth year, and
he in his twenty-fifth. Her personal attractions were consider-
able, and her accomplishments and mental cultivation of the
highest order. Iler connections, too, were respectable, inas-
much as she was the niece of a highly-esteemed p.rson in the
Company's Service. In February, 1829, the parties arrived at
Cawnpore, and then became acquainted with Captain Worrell,
the defendant. Capt..zin Worrell was at that time between
thirty and forty years of age, a married man, and the father of
several children, so that no bar existed against the establish-
' ment of an intimacy between parties so situated. Soon after
this Mrs. Worrell, the wife of the defendant, left Cawnpore,
and embarked for England. At the commencement of the fol-
lowing rainy season the health of Mrs. Palsgrave became af-
fected'by the dampness of the house in which she resided, in
consequence of which herself and Mr. Palsgrave were invited
to spend the season with Colonel Barton, which invitation they
accepted. Colonel Barton and Captain Worrell were upon the
most intimate terms of friendship, from which it very naturally
followed that the latter, who frequently visited his friend, was
very often in Mrs. Palsgrave's society, and if he (Mr. Turton)
had not been prevented by the death of one of his most import-
ant witnesses, he believed he would have been able to show,
that even at this early period, some reciprocal affection existed
between Mrs. Palsgrave and the defendant. Mr. Palsgrave
had not, however, the slightest suspicion of the existence of
such feelings, and continued to live with his wife on the most
affectionate terms. During the rainy season of the year 1831,
the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Palsgrave to Colonel Barton was re-
newed, and in the month of December in the same year they
quitted the station, by which time Mr. Palsgrave and Captain
Worrall had become the most intimate and familiar friends, so
much so, that the latter had voluntarily assisted the former, by
lending him a sum of 1,800 rupees, at 12 per cent. interest, to
redeem a note that he had given for that sum, in payment of
expenses incurred by him fur the building of a bungalow. Af-
ter Mr. and Mrs. Palsgrave had been a short time at Bareilly,
to which station they had gone from Cawnpore, they received
a letter from the defendant, descriptive of the bad state of his
health, and proffering his services to purchase any thing for
them that -they might require from Cawnpore. The conse-
quence of this letter was an invitation to the defendant to spend
some time at Bareilly, with a view to the recovery of his health,
which invitation Captain Worrell accepted of, and it was dur-
ing this visit that the plan was laid and carried into execution
that formed the subject. of the prosecution. On the 29th day
of March, which was the 26th day of his stay at Bareilly, and
the day of his intended departure, Captain Worrell drove Mrs.
Palsgrave out in a buggy, before the dinner hour, but when the
usual dinner hour arrived, neither of them appeared, and on
making inquiries it was found they had both gone to Cawnpore,
Captain NA, orrall having borrowed a palanquin, and laid double
dawk for that purpose. Mr. Turton regretted that he should
not be able to prove all those particulars, owing to the death of
Mr. Burnett, the witness aforesaid, but he would be able to
prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, the arrival of the fugitives at
Cawnpore, and their intimacy there till she was induced to seek
the protection of a kind relative, which occurred about six
weeks after her arrival, tip to which time they had lived toge-
ther as man and wife. There could be no doubt whatever of
the affectionate terms on which Mr. and Mrs. Palsgrave lived
together, nor of his uniform kind treatment of her up to the pe-
riod of her departure. What sort of a defence would be set
up by his learned friend he was at a loss to say, but the main
features of the case would appear such as he had stated them,
and on them he would rely for such damages as their lordships
would give, as a reparation for the severest injury that could be
sustained.

The Rev. Hudson Richard Shepherd proved the marriage of
Mrs. Palsgrave.
Colonel Ezekiel Barton.—l am very intimately acquainted
with the plaintiff and defendant. I was at Cawnpore in the
commencement of 1829, as Deputy Quarter-Master-General.
I remember Mr. anl Mrs. Palsgrave coming there in February
or the beginning cf March, 1829. They resided in a small bun-
galow near the Parade. Captain Worrall was living there at
the time. He is a married man, having several children. I
think Captain Worrall is about 33 or 31 years of age. Mrs.
W. was there then, I think. Mr. and Mrs. Palsgrave lived
with me, while they staid at Cawnpore, for about a year and a
half. I had opportunities of observing their conduct; he ap-
peared the most attentive of husbands, and she the most affec-
tionate of wives. Captain W. was then on intimate terms with
me. Mr. Palsgrave and his wife left Cawnpore for Bareilly on
the Ist of November, 1831. Capt. Worrall remained at Cawn-
Wpore ; he is in the 4th regiment of Native Cavalry. Captain
Worrell left the station in February or March; after the de-
parture of Mr. Palsgrave and his wife. After an absence of
about a month, lie returned, as I hearth, accompanied bv some
one. I saw Mrs. P. after she had quitted Captain WUrrall's
house. I never saw her at Capt. W.'s house. I paid a sum of
money to Capt. Worrell for Mr. Palsgrave after Capt. Wor-
rell returned from Bareilly ; the amount was 1,860 rupees;
this is'his receipt (receipt produced.) I do not know when
Mrs. Worrall left Cawnpore. I think it was shortly after the
rains of 1830. _ _

Colonel Benjamin Rooke sworn—l am acquainted with Mr.
and Mrs. Palsgrave. They always appeared to live very hap-
pily together, and his conduct to her always appeared to me to
be very, kind and attentive.
The Rev. Edward White, Chaplain of Cawnpore, sworn and
examined—l am acquainted with Mrs. Palsgrave, whoa I have
seen on two or three occasions, and repeatedly as one of my
congregation at church. After her departure from Cawnpore
1 saw her at the house of Captain Worrall, afterwards at my
own, and then at her aunt's. Mr. Palsgrave appeared to me
to be attached to his wife, but my opportunities of noticing their
conduct were very confined. 1 received a letter from Mrs.
Palsgrave, in consequence of which I went to her in the begin-
ning of June or the latter end of May, 1832, on the same day
that I received her letter. 1 saw her at the house of Captain
Worrall, but he was not at home. I wrote a letter to Captain
Worrall, and received, in reply, the letter which I now pro-
duce.

Mr. Strettell, the attorney for the defence, was here called
upon to produce the letter to which the above was a reply, and
stated that he was unable to do so, as he had only received the
notice ou the previous night, and, his client being at Cawn-
pore, he had no means of communicating with him in so short
a time.

Mr. White's examination continued.—His seduction of Mrs.
Pals rave was the subject of the letter, which requested, on my
behalf, an immediate interview with him that I might enforce
the necessity of an immediate separation. It might have been
two or three months after Mrs. Palsgrave had been at Captain
Worrall's house that I saw her there, but I cannot be certain
about the time. I immediately removed her to another house,
and from thence to her aunt's. _ _

Dr. Bell sworn.—l knew Mrs. Palsgrave when she was living
in Captain Worrall's house, previous to her going to her aunt's.
I believe she went to Captain Worrall's house in the beginning
of April, 1832, and resided with him till the Ist of June. This
was after she had left Cawnpore, and gone to Bareilly with her
husband. She returned from Bareilly with Captain Worrall,
and went with him to his house, at which time her husband was
not with her. During that time I dined at Captain Werrall's
three or four times. Captain Worrall and Mrs. Palsgrave
were living together, during which time I was her medical as-
sistant. _ _

In reply to the court.—l was told by Captain Worrall that
she had left her husband. I have had conversations with him
on the subject, but I cannot charge my memory with them.
Raur Mony, Ayah, sworn.—l know 'Airs. Palsgrave. I also
know Captain Worrall. I was in the service of Captain Wor-
rall at Cawnpore. I was engaged about a month after Mrs.
Palsgrave's arrival from Bareilly, and remained there two days
less than a month. They slept together during that time, amid
my duty was to dress her.
In reply to the Advocate-General.—l never knew Captain
Worrall or Mrs. Palsgrave before that. I knew that it was
Mrs. Palsgrave, having heard all the particulars from her me_
trannee, who was with her from her first arrival. I afterwards
learnt the particulars from all the servants of the house.
In reply to Mr. Turton.—l know Dr. Bell, but I do not know
of his having attended her. She left Captain Worrall's house
with the Reverend Mr. White. She used to call Captain Wor-
rall " Henry."
This ended the case for the prosecution.
The Advocate-General then addressed the Court on behalf
of the defendant. _ _ _

After a few moments' consultation the Court gave a verdic
or the plaintiff—Damages seven thousand rupees. t

a respectable farmer of Ballyrider, near Stradbally, Queen's

laid on the road near the canal bridge at Cardenstown, by two
men, quite strangers, one of whom, a most powerful man, at-
tacked Mr. Stapleton, and had cut and was -beating him in a
savage manner, when most fortunately for him, Robert Chap-
man, of Castle Mitchell, Esq., one of our most active magis-
trates, happened to come up, and prevented him from being
murdered, by at once rushing at the fellow who was attacking
Mr. S., upon which the ruffian took up a large stone, and was
in the act of throwing it at his head, when M-r. Chapman drew
out one of his pistols, which in all probability saved his life and
that of Stapleton, as the villain and his companion got over a
wall, and owing to the closeness of the fences to the corn-fields,
escaped, after a considerable pursuit by Mr. Chapman alone;
for such was the fear of future consequences, that of at least
a dozen persons who were witnessing the pursuit, and called
upon by Mr. Chapman to assist, not one would venture.
O'CONNELL. AND THE Warns.—Many people appear won-
derstruck at finding Mr. O'Connell a supporter of the " base
and brutal Whigs' on the Portuguese question. There is no
cause of astonishment at all in this. Mr. O'Connell has done
nothing in the case but pursue the ususal course of his policy;
which is to embarrass Great Britain iu every possible way, so
that she may be able to offer no resistance to his long-meditated
Tans for the liberation and independence of the Trish nation.

their suit.—Dublin Post.
Miss Jarman, on her arrival in Dublin, suffered one of the
"miseries of travelling," the loss of her writing desk, contain-
ing £3l, which, however, was speedily recovered through the
exertions of peace-officer Roberts, who traced it to a public-
house at the back of the Custom=house, where it had been con-
veyed by the carman who drove Miss Jarman to the Theatre,
and who is now fully committed for the offence.
A serious accident nearly occurred on Wednesday night, on
board the Gem yacht, to the owner, the Marquess of Waterford.
It appears that his Lordship, on arriving on board, seated him-
self on one of the guns with which the yacht is fitted, having
the percussion caps attached, when the gun immediately went
off. His Lordship was not, of course, aware that the gun was
loaded. We are glad to add, no serious eonsequencear ensued.
