MURDER OF AN IRISH PEER.  The Dublin correspondent of the Press Association telegraphs that a telegram, just received from Galley, announces the murder of Lord Mountmorria, wWb took plans at hie residence near Clonbunr. No particulars yet received. He Lad • small properly, and was engaged at last sendons in Galway with his tenantry in litigation. The murder is of an agrarian 411moracter. It appears that Lord Mountmorris attended a meeting of justices at the Court-house of Clonbactar on Saturday, and left that town at eight p.m. At nine o'clock he was found dead at Butheen, near Ballinrobe, within halta.mile of his reildenoe. The deceased nobleman was about 60 years of age, aid WAR • small landed proprietor. .Re was on bad terms with his tenants, having refused during the recent agitation to grant a reduction of rent, and kid In consequence to obtain an escort of police. This escort, however, he had dispensed with a short time ago. It was friend that he had received six ballet wounds, any one of which was sufficient to cause death. A land meeting was held near the spot on Sunday, and the speakers disclaimed on the part of the Land League any oonnexion with the deed.  Mutinous spirit is showing itself among the convicts at Dartmoor prison, and increased vigilance has become necessary to prevent a rising of convicts en mane. Several serious affrays have lately taken place. An officer named Cotter lies in a precarious state in Consequence of fearful injuries which he received from a convict on Tuesday ;and on Thursday another convict employed in boot-making suddenly struck Superintending-Warder Pinch two terrific blows on MO** of his head with a hammer. An officer was on Tuesday attacked with a pickaxe by a convict he was superintending. Fortunately the blow as warded off by the helmet, but if had been an inch lower the blow would have been fatal. Assistance wee rendered and the convict secured.  The Prinoess of Wales has given a fresh proof of those sterling qualities which have already endeared her to the nation. Although naturally much distressed at the prospect of being separated from her two only sons, yet I hear that, at the moment of parting, her Royal Highness was csreful to conceal all traces of emotion in order that the young sailors might not themselves feel too keenly the parting from their mother and sisters, and from a happy home.  It is not only the length of time that the young Princes are to be away, but it is the great di, twice and the variable climate of the quarters of the globe they may visit, which must naturally add to the anxiety of the Royal parents. I OM still of the opinion I have several times expressed— the same, it is understood, as that entertained by the most illustrious in the land—that it is a pity both the young Princea should be sent on this lengthened cruise. "Prince Ridie" is, it is well known, to be a soldier, and Prince George of Wales is destined for the navy ; but surely putting all the eggs into one basket is • mistake. It was decided that "Prince Eddie'a" sea-going was to terminate with the last voyage; but I hear tbe brothers could not bear the thought of being parted, and the doctors decided that • lengthened cruise would be moat advantageous for the health of the flit-presumptive. I bear, however, that, although both Princes Albert Victor and George of Wales have called in the Bacchante for Vigo, it is by no means at present definitely settled that the former shell accompany the Training fiquadron throughout their lengthened cruise; nor will the Prince and Princess of Wales give a final answer until; the squadron are about to leave home-waters, which promises to be • couple of months hence. Lord Charles Scott's corvette is ordered not to re-fill her water-tanks at Vigo, as the supply at that port is far from pure.  Jumns t iuched at Port Said last wiek. and letters were tei,t home reporting well of the health of the troops and officers in gen -ral. with the exception of Lord Edward Clinton. who is said to be very much out of health, and hardly fit for the long journey and subsequent hot marching country in India.
