John Francis Mcguire, N. P.

This gentleman SO well known IN this coun-
try, not only to his compstriots, but to all per-
soma OF intelligence, ~ the author of several
works Of great literary ability, is about to re-
ceive grand national testimonial from his
constituents. The occasion of this expression
OF the love and confidence Of his fellow-coun-
trymen is the celebration Of the twentieth
anniversary Of his election to the British Par
hamens'ss member from Cork, which occurs
IN Jaly. For almost q generation he has stood
In the English House Of Commons faithful to
tho cause OF his oppressed country and perse-
cuted religion. He has seen Governments
come and go; no has been offered, time and
again, places Of great honor and immense
emolument under administrations DESTROYS of
securing his passive, if he could not grant
them his active support, but he maintained
unswervingly tho cause to which he had
plighted his devotion. He has given his time,
his unwearied industry, his splendid eloquence.
to the interests of his race and faith. At .
heavy pecuniary loss to himself, and although
possessed of but moderate fortune he has,
through these long years. surrendered himself
entirely to the welfare of the land and people
whom he loved 80 we'll.
In consideration of his great services the
people OF Cork have determined to present
him with testimonial, which, while testify
ing the sincerity of their admiration and love,
will smooth his pathway in his declining
years. Almost every county in Ireland has
already contributed to the testimonial aud it
would be q little strange were the Irish Catho-
lies of the South to allow such an occasion to
pass by without showing, in some manner,
their appreciation of the inertia of anch a
champion a. John Francis Mcguire. In our
Irish Intelligence will be found the names of
some gentlemen Of the committee, amongst
which will be seen that of John DAILY, Mayor
of Cork, to whom remittances may be made.

- A gang of burglars met with singular
since. Eleven in number they went at
midnight to rob the First National Bank.
Entering the building with a false key they
proceeded to open the door of the safe with
powder. While lighting the fuse a spark
fell upon keg of powder which they had
brought, and an explosion of unexpected
proportions speedily followed. Two men
were killed outright, and another had leg
fearfully mangled. The others escaped,
but all except two of them have since been
captured. With one exception the burglars
were residents of the county, where for
seven years they have been committing

There was decided improvement as to

A Few Words.
The indications are week OF dizziness at
the St. Charles street theatres. for while
the Varieties last night had only fair
house. the audience by far Outnumbered the
people who attended the Academy and st.
Charles. The inference is that the Observ-
ance of Holy Week moro generally affects
the St. Charles street theatres than it does
the Varieties.
