THE ABERGELE ACCIDENT.  it a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, on Tuesday, the Lord Mayor said he had received the reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the congratulatory addresses which had been forwarded from the corporation. The Duke of Abercorn wrote : " It is with great pleasure that I tender to you my most earnest thanks for the kind feeling which has induced you to offer your congratulations on the merciful preservation of the Duchess of Abercorn and the other members of our family from the awful fate which befell so many others in the late railway accident at Abergele. I rejoice that the same merciful Providence which shielded them from harm has likewise protected others, for whose safety I beg to offer to you, as their fellow-citizens, our sincere congratulations. Our feelings are most deeply enlisted in behalf of the unhappy sufferers in this calamity, as well as those whose relations and friends were so suddenly taken from them by this appalling catastrophe, and I fully concur in the expression of sympathy which it has elicited from you. I again thank you for your demonstration of interest on our behalf, mid I accept it with gratitude as an indication that the close connection in which my official positio-; ,r 1 placed in and my family with the city of :Dublin ing the hit tra years has resulted in the establishment of such personal regard towards us on the part of its citizens. We have ever been most anxious to secure this gratifying result, and you may rest assured that no effort on our part will be omitted to cement and strengthen the kindly feelings which have prompted and are expressed in your address."  Mrs. Russell, the lady murderously assaulted on Monday night, is slightly better, though not out of danger. In the district of St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, sot long ago the scene of some serious Sunday riots, the clergy have succeeded in establishing a mission chapel, which is to be formally opened on the 6th of October.  Lord Mayo, who does not at present possess wily lecorations, will, it is rumoured, receive the ribbon of the order of St. Patrick, vacated by the death of the Marquis of Downshire. It is believed that the other ribbon of the samo order, rendered vacant by the death of Lord Farnham, will be bestowed upon the Earl of Erne. An Irish contemporary states that Lord Mayo will resign the office of Chief Secretary on the Ist of October, and will leave Dublin for India in about ten dayE afterwards.  Mr. Lowther, the Conservative member for York, addressing his constituents on Tuesday, amongst other subjects spoke upon that of the Irish Church, remarking that, now that the commission had reported, it would become the duty of the Government and the Conservative party to determine the question, and, without attempting to foreshadow the policy of the Government, he felt justified in affirming that the language always held by the parts was a guarantee that they would bo prepared to consider it with a view to redress any grievances and anomalies which were proved to exist, and to place so invaluable a boon as the Established Church in Ireland on a firm and satisfactory basis.  The Church News states that the reason why the Bishopric of Peterborough has not yet been filled up is that the Prime Minister Las been so " pestered" by the Evangelicals that he scarcely knows what course to take. There is a rumour, not mentioned bs any of the Church papers, that the bishopric is likely to be conferred on a very distinguished evangelical clergyman in Buckinghamshire, whosq appointment (if any evangelical is to bo promoted) wotAl be acceptable to the High Church party.  The Irish Times says—" It is in contemplation to. brea!: up the military store stations in Ireland, except the two large stations, viz., Dublin and Queenstown (Ilan'bowline). It is considered that a sufficient reserve of military stores can bo kept at those places for the army in Ireland ; and, as there is now a network of railways ir4 this country sufficient to afford the requisite faciliity fob the transit of stores from ono military post to another hero they may bo required, it is quite probable that Enniskillen, Athlone, and Carrickfergus will be discontinue&as soon as possible after the introduction of the new contro4system on the Ist of October next, and by which a comisleriple saying to the public will be effected;",
