DUBUQUE Iowa), Aug. 13.-The wife

committed suicide by drowning herself
in the Mississippi river some time dur
ING last night. She left home yesterday
shortly after l o'clock, informing her

ever, she went in an opposite direction
toward the country, where she has been
accustomed to take almost daily walks.
II WAS subsequently ascertained that

Cardinal Manning ON Ireland.
New YORK, August l3.-The Herald
prints this morning an interesting in
terview with Cardinal Manning. His
general view of Ireland is hopeful. He
processes affection for the country and
believes that the relations of landlords
and tenants have improved, and that
aararisn agitation has been laid at rest.
He looks for reforms which shall benefit
the laborers as the farmers have been
benefited. and for time when the
Irish artisan shall live in his own cot
tage, till his own garden and find at
home the advantages for which he now
seeks wistfully to foreign lands. The
Cardinal traces the social upheaval to
the influence of continental secret So
cieties. He thinks Ireland could not
thrive IL separate from England. He
denounces assisted immigration al a
means Of clearance, while approving the
return Of the paupers who were sent to
our shores.
