Dublin Nation. July 9Th.

Training School, established in the neigh
borbood of this city by the bishops of Ire
| land, has just been issued, and is of a most
| satisfactory character. Last year there were
| 50 men in the institution-50 intended for
| ordinary National Schools, and 8 mem bers
of religious communities In charge OF
| schools for the poor not 10 connection with
| the National Board-and the fands pro-
vided by tho diocesan collections met all
expenses. We may add that the number
| OF trained teachers already sent out by st.
| Patrick's is about 100, and that the ac-
counts received from, those teachers are
extremely gratifying.
| The ightness of the criminal business
continues to be the chief feature OF the
proceedings at the assizes. In most places
| the calendars make mention of but three
or four cases, while in Limerick city the
presi ding Judge was presented with pair
of white gloves. The only sentence of
death passed, so far, has been that pro-
| nounced at the Tyrone assizes upon
Thomas Price, a man of sixty years Of age,
who poisoned his wife. As matter OF
course. come queer doiDgs are reported of
various grand juries. Tins the Queens
| County grand jury Last week refused to
pass q presentment for the support of three
| Catholic children sent in the way provided
| by the Act of Parliamens to local indus
| trial school. We learn without surprise
| that the jury contained only one Gstholle,
| although eighty per cent. of the population
| whose money it administers is of that re-
| ligion.
/ In accordance with a resolution arrived
at last week a: the Castle, ana noted in our
| last issue, the Crown counsel at the Ii tford
assizss on Saturday applied for postpone
| ment to the next asszes OF the trial OF the
prisoners charged with the murder OF LORD
Leit7im and his two servants. The sPpil-
| cation was grounded on ths affidavit CT the
county inspector, who said that within the
last three weeks he bad received material
| information against the prisoneTs which he
had not yet had time to eft, but which
| would be forthcoming at s0bsequent
period. Conpsel for the prisoners conteEd-
ed that the proceedip 8 was conc coSsed, as an
indirect means of changing the venue, and
considering that "the Hext assizes" will Dc
| the Winter aseizes, and that they may ce
held in Tyrone for the despatch of Donegal
business, there appears to be some founda-
ton for the charge. Baron Fitzgerald,
however, refused to take account of inten
ton, aud acceded to the request of the
Crown. We may add thst one OF the tour
men committed for trial IN this case by the
magistrates have been discharged on bail
at she instance of the Castle lawyers.

Our readers will be glad to perceive.
from reports printed in the present and
iu some recent issnes of tho NoHofE, thai
in some at leaet of the Irish conetitnen
cies there are signs of a popular awaken
ing to the requirements Of the existing
, stu atiob, and the exigeneres certain tc
come uDon then, in the near fatare. 1r
, Tipasrary 8 move in the right direction
f has lately been made, the result OF whFct
8 will surely be TO prevent all chance o
e another seizure of ono of tho seats for th'
8 coupsy by Tery. In Dublin city , move
u mep6 is afoot which, though not directly
@ conpeoted with she Home 2ule orgauiZa
n ton promises fairly to effect great i'm
P proVsment in the representation at thi
10 next election. Wexford is wisely prePar
ing to carry out much needed reform
20 and, judgiBg from the article which WI
IN copy from our influential and patriotic
Ia cotemporary, the Dundalk De1OeraSJ it ii
q, happily evident that the good and tTu'
men of "the Gap of the North" intend u
ss do better Sor the Home Ruls cause at th
OF neZt election than, owing to no fs0lt o
u theirs, they were able to DO. at the last
es. s In Kings county also there is pTsnis
,s' of change for the better But what o
b. Cork city, what of Carlow caanty, what q
i'd Westmeash, what of Galway, Monaghan
.. and other places That thsy will besti
t's themselves later on we fully believe bu
~ the sooner they begin to move, the easie

We know, and every lHishman knows
he that come of the men WHOM it is Gesirabl

a processing Home Rulers. They are me
at who are quite willing to give an annus
ret vote IN IaVor Oh home rAte' enG PeAuSE
en- to vote also IN raVor OF some otnST populS
ed Irish measures. The objection. to thos
e. gentlemen is that they will not really nrcs
I'll for those reforms. Their hearts are NJ
GO. in these things. They fulfil the bare lette
'oH On of their obligations by voting for I'll
HE measures they promised in their eleetio
rs addresses to support, and they sometime
g go 80 far as to make a speech or two
err favor of them, but yet the whole tenor
in their conduct goes TO show that they
as not really care if the gaining of Hon
ery Rule shonld occupy a hundred years, or
:EEy 1t never should be gained at all. It
III III true that Ireland was glad to get the
