At Limerick, on Sunday night, party were as
sembed at "wake" in Change. lane, one OF the
poorest localities in the city, and the room in which
the body was laid out was densey crowded. The
floor suddenly gave way, and all within were pre-
ciptated to the room beneath, which also fell, car
rying all to the next, and that again, being the
third to the ground. By this melancholy accident
eleven persons were killed, and from fifteen to
twenty grievousy maimed-some with legs and
arms broken, skulls fractured, and one man had
his back broken.

The latest murder of which we have an account
from Ireland is that of Captain Mcleod, R. M,
who being on temporary duty at Ballinamore
county Leltrlm, was dining at Garradise, near
Balhnamore, the residence OF Mr.. Percy. He LETT
about one o'clock, on an outside car, and, coming
out OF the gate, fired at and shot dead on the
spot. He was called in Tipperary ''the POOR mans

The military force now in Ireland consists Of

There Is TO be another rent-day on the 9th Of
February, " for the etfectuation of the OConnell
tribute III all the parishes of the kingdom, whose
contributions for 1874 have not yet been made up -
and hope is expressed in the advertisement that
all will avail themselves OF the happy privilege
thus conferred upon them "for liquidating the
tional debt"
We understand that preparations are being made
by the leading Catholics OF Ireland TO hold an ag-
gregate meeting at an early period, to take into
consideration the danger with which the liberty Of
theiI clergy and the independence of their church
are threatened by the recent legislation OF the go
vernment, and the attempts made by it's agents to
influence and overawe the court OF Rome by fabri-
cations, and threats, and promises.

The Pyssse does not give very fiitterlng prospects
tor the French trade in China. "The informa-

China, as to the probability of fndng markets for
our produce, is not of nature to justify the hopes
OF the French merchants. The monopoly OF the
most important articles of manufacture appears 10
be secured to the English and the Americans, with
whom it will be difficult 10 contend in the supply
OF white and unbleached cacoes. The exporta-
ton OF muslns and cambrics has been tried by the
English, but has not succeeded. Our woollens
might hnd better chance OF success; but even
that Is not certain, because the Chinese prefer cot
ton, which they single in summer and wad-
ded In winter The Russians, moreover, have mo-
nopolized the Chinese m rkets for cloth. Our
printed calicoes might, perhaps, lind a market u
our manufacturers could reduce their price. Until
the present moment, the Swiss have been in pos
session ot the markets tor that article. In the
year 1913, the Americans exported 1000 600
pieces OF unbeached cotton That amount was
nearly doubled In the year 1874 In April last the
warehouses In the interior OF Canton were over
loaded with British and American manufactures.
We may conclude from the information received
that the Government does not expect much advan-
tage from the expensive expedition sent to China
Thus are confirmed the doubts we expressed on the

AT ball and supper recently given at the Tuile
RES, seats were set apart for the eight Arab chiefs
brought to Paris by Marshal Bugeaud. Struck with
the gorgeous scene, the poet ct the party said to
M Roche, "You had no need to embark so many
soldiers to conquer us-lt would have been suff-
cient had you sent only one halt of these beaut-
tnl ladies' to subdue us" This Arab faterer is pro.
badly the chief Schedely, who has addressed
poem to Louis Philippee, in which he declares that
Partisan fogs owing to the beauty of the ladies:
"When the sun from the height of the heavens be-
holds the beauties OF Paris, he is ashamed, and CO.
vers himself with clouds In the way of veil. AT
times he shows himself, in order to admire the
splendor of their figures; he steals a part of their
brlliancy, and then hides himself"
