CITE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—We have been informed, on something like authority, that it is her Majesty's intention to honour the Duke of Devonshire with a visit, at Lismore Castle, during her stay in this country. If the party who has favoured us with this intelligence be well informed, we may indulge in the hope of seeing our beloved Sovereign in this quarter also, as we can scarce think that the second city in this portion of her dominions would be passed by unnoticed. —alb Examiner.  The accounts from Madrid are to the 21st. No journals were published on that day (Good Friday) and the Bourse was closed.  Mr. Francis Mowatt, the President of the English Committees of the two Companies lately formed with the view of tendering for the construction of the Paris and Lyons (Ganneron's Company) and Dijon and Mulhouse lines of railway, and of which General Count Baudrand, Governor of the Count de Paris, is President, was honoured with a special audience by the King of the French on Monday. Accounts have ht en received from Martinique to the 26th ult. The Colonial Council had voted 20,000 francs towards the relief of the distressed colonists of Barbadoes, and the Governor of Guadeloupe had sent a vessel to Barbadoes with stores and provisions. Genital Tom Thumb is the rage among the Parisians at rresent. One of the journals says, "No such sensation has been created among the fair, since the first appearance of Lemuel Gulliver at the Court of Brobdignag." The Sentinelle of Toulon of the 23d inst. says :—" The discharge of the 1,500 sailors is suspended, it being impo Bible to carry th's order of the Minister of the Marine into effect without dismantling a great many of our ships of war. There were only 600 sailors on shore that could be discharged, and therefore it would be necessary to take the rest from the crews of ships in commission. None of these ships have their full complements, and to take from them the remaining 900 men, would reduce then by one-half, which would be equivalent to a disarmament of our squadron. If it had become necessary from any eventuality to send out any of our ships, it would have been impossible to man them." A letter from Rome, of the 11th inst., states that the extensive domains of the Duke de Leuchtemberg, son inlaw of the Emperor of Russia, in the States of the Church, have been purchased by the Roman Government for 3,850,000 Roman crowns (about 20,500,0000, which sum has been paid in obligations bearing interest at 4 per cent. These securities have been negotiated bythe agent of the Duke de Leuchtemberg at the houses of Torlonia and Rothschild, which have given in exchange for them bills on Paris and London.  Prussian journals inform us that the mortality in horned cattle and horses in some parts of Prussia is very great. A letter from Konigsberg states that nearly 4,000 head of cattle have vrishi d in a s,ingle district. The schism among the Catholic in Prussia seems to be on the increase. Great numbers have recently declared for what is called the New German Catholic Church, and the Government has authorised collections in support of it.  LAW Awn POIACk. The investigation into the case of the Rev. Mr. Mnnekton still continues before the Diocesan Court of Inquiry. At tsow-Areet, William John Berry, described as a gentleman's servant, living at No. 12, Shire-lane, Templebar, was charged with brutally treating his child, a little boy only ten years old. It appeared that the prisoner kept the child chained up in a room, and was in the habit of cruelly beating it with a thick stick, and also with a cat-o'-nine-tails. The child was covered with bruises and sores. The Magistrate committed the brutal father for trial at the sessions, and the parish officers undertook to prosecute. The prisoner was subsequently admitted to bail. A short period prior to the closing of the Marylebone Police-court, Charles Stuart, a shoemaker by trade, and Dorothy Stuart, his wife, were charged with unlawfully plt-dging sheets, blankets, &0., the property of their landlady, Maria Kean; and also with having attempted to destroy themselves, by cutting their throats. On the landlady discovering that her property had been pawned she questioned the prisoners on the subject, who each deliberately attempted to commit suicide by cutting their throats. It appeared that they had once before taken laud mum for the same purpose. The female, who had pawned all the articles, was committed for twenty days, and the man was sent to the infirmary. _
