The Dublin CORPORATION and the Horse Guards
At the monthly meeting, on Monday last. Of
tho Dublin Corporation, Sir William Carroll
took the singular and ill-chosen step of asking
the house, by formal motion, to memorial the
Duke of Cambridge for the appointments of
officer named Cunnynghame to tho
place of Commander of the Forces in Ireland.

lose the able and valuable services of Lord

armed party who caused the death of Mortonp
aud that the fatal act was preceded and ac-
companied by conclusive circumstances OF
cool and brutal deliberatiop. During tho
course of the trial it was said in evidences that
there were two ou trag geous parlsans Oh the Jury,
and Sergeant Armstrong. in his closiug speech,
declared that the proofs of guilt were over
