noted one-handed hero, Genera! Sweeney,

nected with the movement against Canada

A young man named Albert Beaumont
Kenny recently arrived in Cork from Fermoy
was arrested on charge of proclaiming him
self a Fenian. On being questioned he said !:
II came to Ireland about twelve months
ago, after having been in the American navy
for two years and three months. married
an Irish girl named Julia Sweeney in Amer
lea. and we came over here to visit her
mother, who resides in Fermoy. That is
the object we had in coming over to this
country. The expression attributed to me
was n mere inadvertent statement, as ma
would say many things when under the IN
fuence of drink" The prisoner was then
ordered to find two securities IN J. 1o each,
and himself in flO, to keep the peace.
The Cork Examiner, of October "a, says ::
At the Macroom quarter sessions, yester-
/ day, the Rev. Caleb H. Clifford, Rector OF
KilInemartyra, sought for an increase In
amount of rent charge levied on that par
! ish. The tithc is subject t" periodical re-
vision, the standard being the price OF the
principal grain crop grown in the county,
and the price of wheat having risen since
the last revision of the rent charge in Kill
nemartyra, in 1854, the Rev. Mr. Clifford
demanded a corresponding increase in the
1.-THE, alleging wheat to be the principal
grain crop in the county Cork. 1t appeared
that at the last revision, when the 1.-THE was
reduced, the price of wheat was adopted as
the standard. On the present occasion,
however it was shown that oats instead of
wheat was the principal grain crop in the
county, and there having been no advance
in the average price of oats during the last
seven years, the application was rejected.
Mr.. Clifford's revenue from tithes amounts
to S4s0 year, stipend with whieh ne
certainly might have been very well con-
tent. 49,.
On the 10Th ult. an address and testtmo-
NAL was presented to the Rev. j. Parker,
who, for the last eleven years, ministered
TO the Catholics of the parish of SIS. Peter
and Paul, in Cork, and who recently was
promoted to a wider sphere of duty.
CLARE.-A Clare journal sage Henry
White, Lord Barren of Annually, has pre-,
sented to his Burren tenantry splena,i i.
hell for the new Catholic Church at Bally-
vaughan. We rejoice at this act of gene
rosity on the part of Lord Annaly, follow
ing ma it does on his princely donation OF
GIOO towards the fund for the erection OF
the Church, and which owes SO much TO the
his curate, Father Forde, whose exertions
in collecting funds in Australia arc beyond
all praise. , 1:,u
Maurice O'Connell, Esq. j. r., kilgory,
died on the goth ult., III the 54th year OF
his age, after an illness of nearly month.
The event brought grief to his tcnantry
and the poor of his ncishborhood.
DowN.-A correspondent of the Dublin

fair day of Ballinahinch, county Down, a
moor man named Michael M'Cartan, Cath
