| A terrible disaster occurred at an early
hour on the morning of Aug. % off Bun
ccana, where four warshi ps were lying.
It appears that nine midshipmen were
on shore at the hotel during the evening,
! and when the time came to return to the
ship there was & difficulty in finding a
boat big enough to carry them all. The
coast guards provided one from the
}Swilly Hotel and three of them went
with the middies to pull the oars. A
start was made about o'clock a. m. The
boat was uneqal to the weight OF he
cargo and the stress of the rowing, and
sank, leaving the twelve men in the sea
struggling for their lives. Their shouts
for help brought prompt relief from the
Calypso, and the nine officers were picked
up. Two of the co ,st guards, named
Tibbles and Stoyles, we're drowned.
DUBLIN. ..
Lord Crewe, who is the wealthy uncle
of Lord Houghton, the new Irish Viceroy,
allows him e10,0O0 year while he is in
Ireland. This gives Lord Houghton q
yearly income for expenditure of about
100000. It is no wonder, with such
sum at the Viceroy's command, that
Dublin expects the most brilliant Vice
regal Court in generation.

On the 1st uit. tho widow Kelly was
evicted from her holding On the Clon-
corey estate Atthe last assizes the pro-
tracted litigation in reference to this
holding ended in the Lord Chief Baron
confirming DR.. Darley's decree for pos
session. Since then the visit of the
evicting forces had been daily expected,
and few weeks ago, upon a rumor that
the eviction was then about to be carried
out, the huts which had been erected for
the shelter of come of the dispossessed
Campaigners were removed, lest they
should fall into the hands of the eyictors.
The date on which possession was to be
taken was kept secret and the occupants
of the holding were consequently taken
! by surprise. When the evictors and the
police arrived at the house they found
only q sew neighbors of the tenant as
sembled. who were engaged in removing
the furniture and chattels. Possession
was taken without the slightest resist
ance, Mrs. Kelly and Che Morrissey fam
lily, who had been living with her since
their eviction, at once quitting the house.
and obtaining shelter in Whites house,
hard.by. The locality is almost entirely
depopulated. Il the eye could avoid the
few farmsteads that have escaped the
hands of the evictor, it would rest on a
widely extended and desolate waste.
Only two of the Campaign tenants
John Kelly of the Bawn, and White
now remain undisturbed, and their evic-
tion is delayed solely on account Of the
inability of two aged occupants to bear
removal.
