The City Of Dublin Election-The nomi-
nation Of candidates for the representation
Of Dublin in the English Parliament took
place on Tuesday, 10th ult., in Green street
courthouse. The proceedings were of the
usual uproarous kind. None of the speak
ers could be we'll heard because OF the con-
tinual disturbances between the supporters
Of the respective candidates. There can
be no doubt, however, that the national
candidate, Capt. King Hartman, possessed
the sympathies of the overwhelming ma
jority of those who assembled within the
court house, as he does those of the over
city. Alderman Campbell, who proposed
Sir Dominic Corrigan, and Sir William Car
roll, who seconded him, had nothing more
persuasive to urge in favor of the baronet
| than that he was native of Dublin, and
one who, by a rare combination of talent,
highest position in his profession. Neither
Alderman Plunkett, who proposed, nor
Mr.. j. V. Mackey, who seconded, Captain
King Hartman, denied that Sir Dominic was
the eminent professional man his friends
described him. but they preferred to vote
for his opponent, because he was an Irish
nationalist, while Sir Dominic was q mere
Wing in politics. Mr.. A. M. Sullivan pro-
posed Mr.. Isaac Butt, Q. c., pro lorna, and
in doing so took occasion to point out that
the fruit which those who had soug hit for
the Disestablishment of the Church ex-
pected from that measure was the union of
all classes of Irishmen on the common
| platform of patriotism, and that Sir Domi-
mic Corrigan had been for the last few days
doing his utmost to perpetuate the dOmes-
tic feuds which have SO long Kept apart
| Irishmen of different creeds and classes.
| Mr.. Thomas Ryan seconded Mr. Butts
| nomination. He said the only effect of the
| return of Sir Dominic COrrigan would be
to '.provide for briefiess barristers." Mr..
Butt having been withdrawn, the two can
didates addressed the electors after which,
on show of hands being called for, it was
found to be largely in favor of Capt. Har-
| man.
Lady Day in Thon,asto,cn, County HI

has ever been my lot to witness took place
in this town ON the 18th of August. 1t had
been announced by means of pacards some

would take place at twelve o'clock, and be
followed Immediately after by q procession
of the Most Holy Sacrament. For some
time before the hour named, the streets in
the vicenity of the chapel were actually
thronged with people of every age and sex.
ION the chapel doors being opened the
crowds made one simultaneous rush into
the sacred edifice, which, though computed
to hold beyond 5000 people, it was filled to
OVERLOOKING nearly in less time than it
takes me to write this. After the First
Gospel, the Most Rev. DR.. Power, Bishop
of Newfoundland, assembled the pulpit. He
took as his text the following passage:
IS Cast off the garments of mourning and
| affection, and put on those which thou
hast from God" His allusion to the tenn
poral reverses which have befallen the
I French arms was most feeling and pathetic,
and drew tears from great many present.
During Mass the processionists were ranged
in order round the High Altar, their ban
ners being placed in the sanctuary. The
appearance of the female children, who
were all dressed in virgin white, having on
their heads wreaths of natural flowers, as
they knelt in semicircle, was a rare treat
| to those who were so fortunate as to be
present. Mass terminated at half-past one
o'clock, at which time the procession
formed. The final BenedictiOn was given
from the High Altar in the Church. When
all had resumed the places they had when
starting, the ceremony terminated.
Pattern at Aghada.-Yesterday the an
nual pattern was held at Our Lady's Well,
Aghada, whittier crowds of humble and
pious pilgrims come to repeat their pray
ers and make their offerings from deep
feelings OF gratitude and devotion to God.
The church which stood close to this well
had been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin
Mary, and the 18th of August, the festival
-rof the Assumption, which was formally
celebrated there with much splendor, finds
numbers of pilgrims flocking to the little
well, the object of their love and venera-
ton. The numbers yesterday were very
large. They came from Cork, Queens
town, Middleton, Cloyne, ETC., and from
greater distances. Throughout the day
fresh additions came pouring into the place,
: and night found many still praying beneath
the tree whose spreading branches canopy
the holy we'll. Every thing went on in a
quiet and becoming manner, and there
were none of those places of amusement
or refreshment which sometimes tend to
promote disorder.-Cork Examiner, Aug. Is
