Mr.. William Archer Redmond has ad-
dressed the constituency of Wexford
Borough. which, was formerly represented
by his uncle. Mr.. Redmond is a Wexford
man, who comes forward with excellent
claims to the honor which he now seeks,
and whose personal merits are stamped in
the national mint by his patriotic address
to the electors. Having alluded to his con-
nection with the town Of Wexford by resi-
ience' by parentage, and by property, aud
generations for the good of their fellow
citizens, Mr.. Redmond goes straight to the
political point, and at once declares his
conviction that Ireland possesses the indie

DEATH OF MR.. A. J. MKENNA =
We deeply regret to have to announce
he death of Mr.. A. M'Kenna, editor of O
he Belfast Northern Star, which took place c
yesterday morning, after a long and tedious
llness. Mr. M'kenna was q man of re-
larkable literary accomplishments. His L
mind was highly cultivated, his scholar 9
hip extensive and his style forcible aud !
nd when the occasion arose, impassioned.
mbued with strong national feeling. he :
'as ardent in all that concerned the well
ire of his country. Though engaged in t
he strife of parties, which in a neighbor- d
God Hike that of Belfast is SO hot, he en- a
yea the esteem OF many of the leading =
rotestants of the district. Cut off in =
le very prime of life, in the vigor of his n
!tellect,. in the fullness of bis aspirations, b
is death is calculated to fill his many ii
lends with sorrow, and to cause q deep X
'nse OF bereavement to those who were Ell
riVileged with his close ntimacy.-Cork pa
