Gum, with q party of ten armed men,
visited the house of Mrs. O'Connell, Castle
street. A thorough search was instituted,
after which some of the police went into
the back yard and rooted up the ground
with crowbars. There was no result, how
ever, from the search, but it is supposed it
had some connection with Fenianism, be-
cause Mrs. O'COnnell is the mother-in- law
of Captain Mackay. While the search was
going on, armed police patroled outside the

Examiner says: Nothing of much public
interest in regard to the election has trans
PRED in Youghal since the account fur
nished of Sir j. N. McKenna's reception on
July 31st. Mr.. Weguelin has been every
day busily engaged, since his arrival, pros
ecutlng with vigOr the personal canvass he
promised to make on all the voters. Sir
j. N. Mckenna saw some of his principal
supporters on the lst ult., but did not make
more than few cursOry calls on electors
during the day, proposing to begin regu-
lar canvass Immediately M Butt is ex-
pected in Youghal, where he will, it is
asserted, give vigorous support to Mr..
Weguelin's canvass. Of the prospects of
present both sides seem equally confident,
and that any opinion hazarded at present
as to the way things will turn out must be
purely speculative.
