TOWN OF GALWAY ELECTION, APRIL I3.—The
majority of non-resideuts having increased so con-
siderably as to take away from the independent in-
habitants of this town the hope of obtaining the
return from the Sheriff's books, it was deemed
right not to subject the town to increased ex-
pense by prolonging the contest, and the booths
were al!owed to close yesterday evening, and the
Sheriff declared Mr. Prendergast elected. We
understand Mr. Blake intends to appeal to Parlia-
ment, and that petition is in a state of for-1
j wardness, and so liberal subscriptions already
tendered.—(C Journal.)

We have received exclusisely from I's' ~ a letter,
which announces the etistense of a very bad spirit
in France. An incendiary paper had been posted
lip in several parts of the city; a min was dis-
covered in the act. The method he tank to paste
up the inflammatory article is new end curious.
Ile carried a little boy in a box like the magrc
lantern ; and while he leaned against the wall, as
it to rest himself, the little boy drew back n slider,
pasted on the paper, and shut himself lip again;
and the man took a proper occasion to walk off to
another restiow place.--(L'ith/in Patriot.)

the venetaale Diocesan has addressed to them the
following letter:—
" Trim:44o4r. Castridge, March 30.
" Reverend Sir—Having been informed, that several
clergymen in my diocese have adopted nn irregular
manner of administering of the Sacrament of the LOrd'si
Sapper, by delivering the holy elements, and pro-
nouncing the words which accompany them to more than
one person at one time: and having given the subject
my most serious consideration, and consulted others of
the Bishops thereupon, I must reinire all clergymen of
my diocese to avoid the aforesaid irregular practice: to,
lay it aside, if they have at ally flail* adopted it ; and to
conform exactly, in this ease, as in all others, tu the di-'
rections given in the Rubric.
" I remain, Reverend Sir,
" Your ever affectionate brother,
Bans cm."

The following is stated as a fact. whittli occurred

tion with his gardener, and overheard the follow-
ing dialogue :

cimher.
