more House, Portstewart Coleraine, ap-
peared before Justice Murphy and a
special jury, in the Queens Bench Dub
lin, on Apri! 4th, on an Indictment
charging her with the manslaughter of
her infant daughter, Mary Helen, aged
three years, by tying her to a ring IN the
wall of dark room. She was found
guilty of manslaughter. The jury recon-
mended the prisoner to mercy, aud JUS
tics Murphy sentenced her to twelve
months imprisonment, with suitable
hard labor. The prisoner was quite
composed all the time, and it is said was
even seen to smile when taking leave of
some of Der friends. The sentence is
regarded as hardly severe enough for the
atrocious character of the case. The
woman is a Scotch Cockney, and her
husband is an Englishman

We regret to learn that Captain Kane

II. M S. Calliope when she weathered
the terrible hurricane at Samoa, IN 1887
in which three American naval vessels
were wrecked, is seriously i'll at Ports
mouth, where he occupies the post O!

attack of Inflammation of the lungs, but
had for some time previously been sui
fering from the result of injuries re-
ceived whilst endeavoring to extinguish
an outbreak of fire on board the Inhexi-

take a seagoing appointment for some
time to come. Captain Kane is the son
of the late Dr.. Kane, of Kilkenny.
