A CIMOUS breach uf promise trial was commenced in Dublin on Thursday, the plaintiff, Mr. T. H. Kingsley, Win :Cie NU* lalum role fQT clawagoi fig brpga  promise to marry. The plaintiff alleges that owing to the promlie he took a large house in London and furnished it, and gave up a valuable appointment. Defendant pleads that if there was any p. omise it was rescinded before that, and also that she agreed to marry the plaintiff owing to false representations as to his means. Bhe also claims XlO6, which she allege she lent him, but this the plaintiff denies. It turns out that the woman named Quo, who was asserted on Thursday to have been murdered near Dnagannen. died from exposure, having laid all night on a heap of mud. A despitch from Limerick states that a package containing dynamite was deposited in the letter-box of the Post-Office there on Thursday night. The package was stamped in the ordinary way, but did not explode in the process, and it was not until afterwards that its dubious appearaace led to its being opened. It was handed over to the p dice, but there is no clue to the person who po-t it. A number of sorters and clerks were in the office when the package was stamped, and an explosion would probably have cawied a serious loss of life.  _ A parlianaentary paper issued on Thursday shows that the harvest of 1882 in Ireland was unfavourable, though no t approaching that of 1879, which was the most unfavour• able harvest during the past 20 years, The depreciation in m ',nay value of the crops owing to the unfavourable harvest an 'omits in the aggregate to £5,818,167 as compared with 1811., and te .£2,527,651 as compared with the average of the preceding ten years. The value, however, is £5,787,738 over that of the dlsattrous year 1879. The great bultc of the money loss in 1882 is, as in 1879, on the potato crop, In which the diminution of value is £4,317.687 as compared with 1881, and £2,274.431 as compared with the averege due ol the crops for the past ten years.
