I GALWAY.
Speculation is rife as to the cause OF
Mr.. Edward Martyrs resignation of the
deputy-lieutenancy Of the County Gal
way. The true facts arc, we believe,
these. Some short time ago the Protes-
tant clergyman of Mr.. Martyrs parish
asked his permission to hold school
treat in the grounds of .Tillyra Castle.
Mr.. Martyr consented, and the young
people romped and played games to
their hearts content. Towards the close
Of the day an impromptu concert was
arranged, and the worthy Vicar sug-
gested that the. children should sing
GOD Save the Queen" Mr.. Martyr
protested against this display of loyalty,
which, under the circumstances, he re-
garded as work of supererogation,
and the matter dropped. Some short
time afterwards, however, he received a
letter from the Lord Lieutenant of the
county, demanding an explanation: His
reply was to forward his resignation Of
the deputy-lieutenancy, and OF his COM
mission of the peace.

A Birr correspondent writes: can
other remarkable discovery has been
made in the river bed of the Camcor,
near Wilmer Road bridge, in this town,
in the form of large quantity of I'm
used ball-cartridge, of the Martini
Henry pattern. So numerous are they
that the police, who saw them, on

. At a fully-attended meeting of the
Callar No. 10 Rural District Council
Mr.. Thomas Fitzgerald in the chair
the following resolution was unanimous
ly passed, the proposer and seconder
being Mr.. Miles and Mr.. O'Mahony
respectively:
t'Tl1at this council desires to express
their strong dissatisfaction with the TIN
patriotic resolution of the Dublin Cor
poration, to present an address of wei
come to Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
on the occasion of her Forthcoming visit
to Ireland,-a country which has been
so cruelty oppressed by her government
during the various administrations
which have held power during her
reign; and, while we would most en-
phatically condemn any demonstration
of disrespect, or any offensive language
on the part of Nationalist, as unworthy
of the cfivalrous spirit of the Irish peo-

lis, asa nation,-t to acknowledge as a
gracious act this visit,-only the third
in her long lifetime, and in reign OF
sixty-three years.
