CoRK.-The Lord Chancellor, on the recon-
znendation of Lord Fermoy, Lieutenant Of the
sGa has sGPssd chf e The sas0ng Mss
of The peace for the county of Cork.
At recent examinations in Dublin, Augustine
d. OConnor, son of Daniel OConnor, Esq, of
Sundays Well, Cork, obtained the degrees of
NJ ID. and NJ. G. III. in the Queens University,
and that of Licentiate of Midwifery in tile

shown that they know how to act in the true
spirit of religious equality. The Liberals in
that body have largo majority, and If they
the measure which that party dealt out to
others when they had the power, no Conserva-
tive would ever again sit IN the Lord Mayors
chair or fill any Office of honor or trust in the
municipal government of Dublin. But in
Dublin, as elsewhere all over Ireland, the Lib
erals have no desire to remember old and bad
in the spirit of exciusiveness. While the Irish
Church Bill was before Parliament, the Town
Council were naturally DESTROYS that no sup
porter of ascendancy should fill the Office of
chief magistrate of Dublin, but once the bill
was passed they regarded that objection as dis
posed of, and on Monday, by unanimous vote,
they elected q gentleman of Conservative prin-
cipies to the civic chair for the year 1870. We
congratulate the corporation on this liberal
and graceful act. 1t is good commencement
of the new order OF things, an earnest OF tho
good WILL the kindliness, the spirit of conces-
sion and Cancellation which we hope and ex-
pect win henceforth prevail in Irish politics.
The Lord Mayor elect is MI Edward Purdon,
proprietor of the EdrTie1's Gazette, and no doubt
can be entertained that he will fill the Office
with credit to himself and to the city.
The Earl of Portsmouth, in addition to his
liberal gift of $500 to supply our town with
water, has given an extensive waiied-in field,
fitted up with pens for sheep, for a fair
ground, " in order to do away with the old dis
1,,y chsApN
exhibited for sale in the streets and thorough
fares of the town.
LIMERIcK-On the night of the esd ult, when
it became known throughout the county that
the Lords had consented contrary to all eX-
pectations, to tho wishes of the government
in the passage of the Church Bill, the hills in
every direction for miles around, were in q
blaze of light in rejoicing-hay and straw hav-
ing been lit up by the country people.
A correspondent says: One hundred and
twenty-four boxes of salmon left the lower
Shannon fisheries for London via Waterford on
Saturday morning, gross weight tons cwt.
The shoals of salmon recently passing up the
Shannon have been SO enormous, that their fins
are visible over water. The Cashen fisheries
have not been SO good for fifty years.
MEATH.-The Irish Times says: The Rev. Ed
ward F. Bury, Rector of Athlone, has been ap-
pointed to the valuable vicarage of Trim, va
can't by the death of the late incumbent, the
Rev. Charles j. Bayley.

tion stone of the Presentation Convent, at
Fethard, was laid with all due ceremony by

diocesan clergy. The attendance of the laity
was very large, and from the tops of the poles
showing the boundary of the editice, green,
white and blue flags waved.
The Southern Chronicle, in q late issue, says
A scandalous circular, rejecting on the charac-
ter and conduct of the Most Rev. DR.. Leahy,
Archbishop of Cashel, has been industriously
circulated through the postofice. A protest
has been signed by 1853 electors of Cashel, in
Guiding the Hon. Martin Joseph French, r. NJ,

BILE citizens, disclaiming having any connec-
tion Herewith whatsoever.
