MIR. RICHARD O'GORMON, N,JR.

The Dublin Evening Post will be happy 10
hear that Mr. Richard O'Gorman was in the
hands of Mr. Little, r. NJ, who, however,
the Pos, will be mortified to learn, let him
slip through his fingers, or more properly,
from his arm. Before the steam boat was
searched at the quay of kilussh as we have
already stated, Mr.. Little and the police were
standing on the stones, devouring with their
eyes every male passenger who happened to
be standing or sitting, walking or lounging
on the deck of the vessel. The plank was
put out and the passengers disembarked,
stepping out on The landing with considera-
bic alacrity, and walking the gauntlet be.
tween the files of police. There WAS an old
lady, however, of sa low complexion, and
dressed, some say, in black, who got out with
some difficulty; and to,tering good deal, and
complaining not little, was making her way
up the slip to where Mr.. Little, X. NJ, happen
ed TO be standing. His attention was attracted,
his gallanlry was reused, and he courcously
descended, offered his arm, and led the fee
ble old lady up to the landing. Little did he
know who the lady was. We are positively
assured she was Richard dO'Gormou--that o he
was among the passengers numbers now as
scrt, and that information to that effect was
furnished Mr. Little, is perfectly obvious
from his presence on the spot. He is said to
have acted the squire with gTea, dignity, con-
doing with the old laly as she mut,ereLl,
''Oh, DEAR and bidding her adieu, whe she
was extrcated from the crowd.

AT Dunbar's Dock, where large attendance

In the House of Correction (says the Bel
fast Chroniclel the prisoners are privileged
TO remain during the day in large room TO-
gether, but at night each one reiires to Il cell
allotted to himself. They are supplied wri-
ting materials, we understand, and have,
therefore, the liberty of corresponding with
their friends The letters, of course, subject TO
a rigorous Surveillance. The corps of officers
belonging TO the house have been strength

The Freeman's Journal says:-The start
ling prospects of the supply of food have
caused the question of prohibiting of distilla-
tion from corn to become again the subject,
and finds many advocates The large stock,
and unprecedentedly low price of sugar, pre-
sent facilities for the purpose and any mea-
sure which will tend to Increase the availa-
BILE stock of food for the people of this coun-
try, deserves serious consideration.

oGorman, one of the leaders in the rebellion
in Ireland, has been landed at Briene, near
Brest, by a fishing boat,
