At the Galway Assizes, before Mr.. Jus.
tice KeOgb, the Rev. Dean Seymour, Pro-
testapt rector of Tuam, sued the Very
Rev. Edward Thomas, Catholic admins
TRAITOR in the same town, for G 1000 DANA
ges for assault and SANDER. On the 18th
Of June the defendant was walking through
| the streets of Tuam, when he met two
children, who raised their hats and slight-
ly bowed, as O mark Of respect to him.
Mr.. Seymour, thinking the children went
on their knees to salute the defendant,
in the hearing Of the latter, and asked the
children why they knelt to that man, at
the same time telling them they should
kneel to none but the Living God. Mr..
Thomas, thinking the observation was
calculated to lessen the respect the chill

laying his hand on his shOuldese asked
him if he meant those remarks as az insult

THE NEwTowNsTEwAIT TRAGEDY.
The Northumberland inquest which
stood adjourned since last month, was re-
sumed on Wednesday, August 9Th, when
further evidence of not very important
+ nature was adduced by the Crown agents.
The ouly point in this fresh evidence
, nth noting here is that MIR. Straham,
+ the manager of the Bank, stated that in
, May last Mr.. Montgomery brought him the
q kew of Mr.. GLASS; desk, saying that the
? latter had become sick in his (Mr. Mont
Z gomery's) house, and that ''it was very
awkward affair."" 1t appears that Mr.
: Glass subsequently, told Mr.. Straham that
Q his illness had been caused by brandy
. given him by Mr.. Montgomery: The in
0uiry was eventually adjourned to Tues
b., day next, when it is expected to conclude
!; The finding of the stolen money some few
i weeks ago engendered a hope that sh'
i weapon with which the murder was com
# mitted would also be found, but the hop
has not as yet been realized.
q PROGRESS OF THE HOME RULE MOVEMENT
T., Two important corporate bodies hav
this week declared themselves for HON

Monday last unanimously passed resoiu

ID as much entitled to self-government as tt
ID people of England that the Union whic
ct took away that right has never been al
ly proved of by the Irish people, but, on ii
to contrary, has been repeatedly denounce
d. by them and that no power can COVER

rs the Sovereign, LofdP, and Commons of lr
of land. The other public body which tn
be week has unanimously pronounced Fl
nd Home Rule is the Mullingar Board
re Guardians. On Tuesday next meetil
n to take into consideration the subject
lid Home Rule will be held in Dundalk, al
ed from the preparations which have be-
Sc, made for it by the people of that patrio
rb- borough, we anticipate that it will be t
