way train at Trillick, terminated in the verdict of wilful

TIIR PATRIOTIC FIIND.—The inhabitants of Cork have

large a force as 30,000 men. It is stated that the city of
Limerick militia have received a notification from the
authorities to the effect that three companies of the regi-
ment, upon its next enrolment, will be armed and equipped
as artillery. This corps it was which, under the late Lord
Gort, then Colonel Vereker, won at the battle of Coloony
a name and reputation which will long be remembered
as not the least brilliant in the military annals of
Great Britain. The " City of Limerick" is commanded
by the Hon. Colonel Vereker, a grandson of the nobleman
above-mentioned. The following regulations with respect
to the organisation of the Irish militia will be carried into
effect :—All old captains and subalterns are to retire, but
are to have the privilege of retaining their regimental rank
and of wearing their uniform. Lieutenants and ena
who served in the militia when they were last emled,
and who, therefore, have been rectiving, half-pay, are to
have the same continued to them on their retiring. No
captains or subalterns to be appointed in future who are
not active young men. Adjutants of militia regiments not
to be more than 38 years of age, and must have served in
the army for some years.

THE NEWCASTLE Fit/M.—The subscription for the
relief of the sufferers by this sad calamity promises to be
among the most municificent ever collected in this country.
Up to Friday morning it amounted to above £7,000, and
among the subscriptions sent in we observed, the Earl of
Carlisle, £2OO ; the Duke of Northumberland, £lO5 ; and
subscriptions from working men in all parts of the country.
357 families have been relieved by the committee, who are
also exerting themselves in providing furniture and dwell-
ings for the poor creatures burnt out. We are informed
that the claims sent in for losses are of the most modest
description, and the gratitude of the poor for the timely
relief afforded them is most affecting.
PROROGATION 01/ PARLIAMENT.—Friday being the day
to which Parliament stood prorogued, the House of Lords
met for the purpose of the Lords Commissioners, in the
name of the Queen, continuing the prorogation until
Thursday, the 16th of November next. The Lords Com-
missioners present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of
Argyll, and Earl Granville. As usual on these occasions.
a large number of ladies and their friends were present,
being admitted as spectators behind the bar; but the
ceremony being of so simple and formal a character, no
interest whatever can be created. The Lords Commis-
sioners having taken their seats in frout of the throne,
and Sir Denis Le Marchant, chief clerk, and other officers
of the house, as the representatives of Her Majesty's most
faithful Commons, having arrived, Mr. Shaw J.efevre,
deputy clerk of the house, read the commission, proroguing
Parliament until Thursday, the 16th of November next.
