Belfast was lately visited by a great thunder storms; but no
casuality occurred, 1 .

A man named Patrick Duffy has been arrested and  1:1
Belfast jail, upon the authority of a warrant issued by i\il.”'1l-"fig:
R. M., charged with being amember of a “ secret soei<‘_lY- he
warrant was executed in Liverpool, where Duffy Ci1T1'1*’d 0“ t 9
the business of a shoemaker of late. The prisoner was lodged
in jail without any examination having taken place ; and it is
more than likely, says the Whig, that. at the gext assiv-es the
approvers will number three, instead of two, as at the last

rosecution. Another man, named Hack€i«ts_..,WaS a1‘1"3St"d, 1“
Belfast, and was committed to stand his trial at the ensuing
assizes. on a charge of being a member of an alleged " secret
Society.”

The Northern Whig says :——We regret to have to state that the
suspension of a local firm very extensively engaged in the Far“
and flax trade was announced in town.‘ The ll{lbhll'iilt‘5 have
been variously stated at amounts ranging from 400.000 *0
£100,000, and the event has caused some surprise in In0I‘CM1-
‘tile, circles, owing to the high business reputation of the firm,
which, although not many years established, has done a very
large trade in yarns, flax, and flaxseed.

John Hackett, says the Belfast News Lc{t€7‘,- W35 afrestefl and
lodged in the police office, on a warrant issued against him by
Mr. Tracey, R.M., for being a_ member of an illegal secret so-
ciety. The prisoner resided in Scotch street, and is about
thirty-three years of age. He is familiarly known as “Geri‘e;3ral
Hackett, and took a prominent part in the formation of The
Smithfield Gun Club,” which attracted so much attention about
two years ago. ”Hackett was one of the parties who gave evi-
dence in the Belfast Riot Oommission. In the _courSe of the
examination of the informers Kelly and Carolin. before the
Grand Jury of Antrim at the last assizes, statements were made
which appeared to the authorities to implicate Hackett to such
an extentthat a warrant should be issued for his apprehension,
Mr. Tracey accordingly issued a warrant, and placed it in the
hands of the police, but up till yesterday evening no opportu-
nitity occurred for executing it. Abopt half past fiye oclock
Constable M’Auley, a most active and intelligent police officer,
accompanied by sub-constable Batters, proceeded to the Falls-
road Bakery, of Bernard Hughes, where _it was ascertained that
Hackett was employed, and ‘took him_ into costody. The pri-
soner will probably be formally committed this day for trial at
the assizes. _

A young man named Johnston, employed in a tobacce manu-
factory in North street, Belfast. was, with some others, engaged
in what is termed shifting the presses, when the_ lever slipped.

force on the side of head, whereby the bones of his cheek were
completely smashed, and the whole side of his face laid open in

where his wound was dressed, but he remains in a very preca-

The B mmof Ulster says :——Owing to the anticipated increase
in the duty on tea, after the Chancellor of the_Exchequer’s finan-
cial statement, an unusually large quantity is at present being
released from .bond in Belfast. Last week one firm paid an un-
usually large amount of duty on this article alone; it is not cer-
tain whether there will be anincrease of duty on sugar.

A presentation of a salver, &c., was lately made «to the Rev.
Mr. Hobson. It bore the following inscription :—Presented. to-
gether with an address and two hundred giiineas, «to the Rev.
Hartley Hobson, by his congregation and friends at Lisburn, in
grateful acknowledgment of his faithful and zealous labors
amongst them as a minister of Christ for a period of thirteen
years, and as a tribute of their personal affection and esteem.”

A new’ Catholic church was recently dedicated at Larne.
The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Charles M’Auley,
professor in Maynooth College, and was regarded as a master
‘piece of -pulpit eloquence. The collection taken up amounted
to the--.1a,rge sum of £225, and the sale of tickets is expected to
raise the “total.-"to‘ about £300. The Rev. Mr. M’Kenna,,P.P.,

delivered a short’ address expressive of the thanks of the Catho-
lics of Larne. . _

Large quantities of new potatoes continue to be exported to
Scotland by nearly all the steamers leaving Belfast quays for
that country. "I‘he,potatoes can be dug in the afternoon, at a
distance of some miles from Belfast, and sold in the Scotch
markets the. following morning. _ _

in the ‘General Hospital from a compound fracture of the skull.

well at.'Ross Hill. The rope gave way, and the “winch” re-
volviii with great rapidity, caused him to let go his hold. and

Cork.

Robert Andrews, Esq., Q.C., says the Cork Examiner, who it is
stated is likely to be transferred from the chairmanship of the
country of Wexford to that of the East Riding, is a. leading
member of the North East Circuit. He has been assistant bar-
rister for Carlow, from which he was appointed to Wexford.
Mr. Andrews is a Presbyterian, and has taken a distinguished
part. in the support and advocacy of education on the non-sec-
tarian" basis. He is a member of the senate of the Queen’s Uni-
versity, and one the Board of Commissioners of the National

On Thursday, Mr. B. B. Evans, sold at his Auction Rooms on
the South Mall, the lease and title to property, consisting of
dwelling houses, store and premises, in John street and Domin-
ick street, in the Parish of St. Mary Shandon. Cork. The dwel-
ling houses. premises, &c., consisted of the following : — Nos. 17,
18,19, 20. John street, and 68, 69, 70, 71, and 72 Dominick
street, which were held for the residue of a term of 999 years,
the lease being dated 17th April, 1751. The nett profit rent
amounts to #34 13s 10d. The sale was by direction of the
Landed Estates Court, and was in the matter of the Estate of
William Going, owner and petioner. A gi_'eat number of bids
were made, commencing at £100 and runningjquickly up. Mr.
llichael Joseph Rrardon offered £400, at which sum the property
was knocked down t0 him- _ _

Speaking of Cahirmee great fair, the Cork Examiner says :—
This celebrated fair was held on the 12th and 13th insts., and

ossibly the first ilay’s fair was one of the grandest ever witness-
ed in Ireland. The fair green is a magnificent grass plain, con-
ggining twenty acres, nearly as level as a billiard table, and
situate in a most beautiful part of the country Within the circle
of the splendid scenery of Doneraile, Mallow, Buttevant, and on
the banks of Spencer’s “ gentle Mulla.” The various approaches
to it are of a first-class kind, and the “dashing sportsman,’ with
his four-in-hand, can drive into the field with as much ease and
safety as the calculating dealer on his “jolting low backed.”
At, twgidclock the fair presented a grand “tableau uvant.”
The  first met the rows of marquees, with their various
streamers flowing gently in the air, and each marking out where
the “creature comforts” were to _be found. There were two
streets of them, and one immense circus-like establishment in the
centre proudly detached from the others. The evening before
was availed of by the comers to the fair and the people for many
miles, to enjoy some fun, and many a heel and toe was kept stir-
ring to the merry music of some stray piper or fiddler, with
which class the tents seemed fairly furnished. ‘Many herds of
cattle and flocks of sheep were lodged for the night on the fair

een and had an abundance. of luxuriant grass. From the
earliest drawn the roads from all sides were crowded with herds

of all sorts of animals, and by nine o'clock cows, sheep and pigs
were duly arranged in order; and about that hour the "knowing
ones” on their “bits of blood” began to show off. It is marvel-
lous to think where such a vast concourse of animals of all the
species could come from." The fair was graced by the attend-
ance of many fair ladies and some splendid turn-outs. The Sale
for store cattle was dull, owing to the great scarcity of grass.-
Sheep and beeves were in good demand. There were very many
of the principal English horse buyers in attendance who stated
that the fair green was not equalled in the United Kingdom.
The display of horses was magiiificent, and many high-priced
ones changed owners.

The second daywas exclusively a horse fair, and the buyers

evinced more aniftietry to purchase than on the first. v The at-
tendance was as good as on the first d y. but many more horses
were sold. It would seem as it they 1 oked on the first day and
made up their minds to purchase on the second. Whatever was
the cause, the sales the second day were much more numerous.
Nothing could be more orderly or decorous than the conduct of
the people. On the whole the great county of Cork may justly
pride itself in possessing so grand a fair.
As a cart laden with flour, the property of Mr. H. L. Young,
J .P., was going over Pai-liameiit-bridge. in the directioii of S111-
livan’s-quay, the shaft of it came in Contact with a horse be-
longing to, and ridden by, Mr. Carey, of Blackrock, and in-
flicted severe injuries on him.

A fire was discovered in that compartment of the Moiikstown
Baths in which the Turkish Bath is placed. Fortunately the
discovery was made before the fire had yet done any serious
injury, and the inmates being roused up, strenuous exertions
were made to prevent the spread of the devouring element by
cutting off the communication with the rest of the building,
which efforts happily proved successful. at r. Edward Burke
from whose residence the fire was discovered. and his friend Mr.
Daniel Cronin Coltsman, rendered most efficient aid in suppres-
sing the fire.

An account of the sales of cattle and pigs, ; ys the Cork
Oonstituflon, being of interest to our agricultura readers, we
place before them this information, extending over a period of
seven years, commencing with the 1st of June, 1352. and term-
inating on the 1st of May last. In the first of these years, that
ending on the 31st of May, 1853, the number of horned cattle
disposed of at our cattle market was 5,602. of sheep 14.720, and
of pigs 27,241. In the following year, 1854, the quantity of
cattle and sheep increased while that of pigs considerably de-
creased, the numbers then being 7,570 cattle, 17.323 sheep, and
22,994 pigs, In 1855 the sales of cattle and sheep received a
marked impetus while pigs sustained a further decrease. The
quantity during that period was—-cattle 12.042, showing an in-
crease of 4,472, sheep 23.9 7 an increase of 6.594. and pigs
21,644, a decrease of 1,350. In 1856 the sales of cattle greatly
decreased,. while those of sheep and pigs almost as much iii-
creased. Of cattle the number disposed was only 4,846 a falling
off of 7,196 from the previous year ; that of sheep was 29,824. an
increase of 5.907, and that of pigs was 25,126, an increase of
3.482. The following year, 1857, was marked by an increase in
the sales of each description of stock, those of cattle being 6.587.
of sheep 30.100. and of pigs 26,394. That was 1,741 cattle, 384
sheep, and 1.268 pigs more than the previous year. Last year
the sales of cattle and pigs further increased while those of sheep
sustained a decrease. The number of cattle disposed of was
8,l6l, of pigs 28.608, and of sheep, 25,775. That was 1,574
cattle and 2,214 pigs more and 4,325 sheep ‘less than the number
in the preceding year. The year ending the 31st of May last
was marked by a decrease in cattle and sheep, but an extra-
ordinary increase in pigs. The number of cattle sold that year
was 7.355, showing a falling off from the proceeding year of
806, of sheep 23,336, showing a falling off of 2,439, and of pigs
the large number of 45 .981, exhibiting the great increase of 15,-
373. It will be perceived that of the latter class of animals the
smallest number sold in the seven years was in 1855, from which
it every year increased until the present time. Of sheep the
smallest was in 1853, and the highest in 1857. since which it has
decreased. and of cattle the highest was in 1855. and the lowest
in the following year, from which it increased up to last year
and again went down during the present. .

v , , Cavan.

The twelfth of July passed over in Cavan very quietly. Hardly
an emblem was to be seen with the exception of the soiled pocket
handkerchiefs that floated from the pinnacles of the church.
There was a rumor that a great riot had taken place in Arvagh,
and the constabulary were immedietely sent off in tliatdirection.
The rumor was unfounded. We believe the same quietness and
same display of faded calico prevailed in Cootehill, Killeshandra,
and other towns of the county.

On the 18th of July. at five o'clock, P. M., the schooner Les-
lie, of Dublin, owners at Killough, was working into Killybegs
ha,rl)(i1‘, the wind being N. N. E. When in the entrance, off the
harbor lighthouse, she missed stays and fell on to the rocks, and
touched them. A strong breeze was blowing at the time, and
in a few minutes she was likely to become a wreck, had not the

light-house keeper and crew, who succeedvd,_by promptly getting
out a kedge anchor, in taking the vessel off in safety. The skip-

per of the light-house boat, Owen M‘Laughlin, and ‘crew deserve
to be recompense-d for their timely exertions in saving the ves-
sel and cargo, as, had she been at all injured, the cargo would
have been very much damaged, she being loaded with Indian
meal.

A person writing to the Irishman from Ballybofey says:—On

continuous French rustics, impost and astragal mouldings, and
surmounted by a semi-circular stone dome, terminated by a
cross, and perforated at top to receive a flush light of very
thick glass. The siiperstructure of the oratory will be of Scotch
stone, from Crowhill quarry, near Glasgow, with brick lining,
and plastered internally with Portland ai (1 Bath cement. This
door will be of iron, massive and perforated, and constructed to
open in the centre and slide on iron rollers into the wall. The

Galway.

()n;Thursday, says the Galway Vindicator, a dispute happened
between two fainilies named Connell and Casserly, as to the
right of bog, at Castlcgar, near this town. A fight took place,
in which the weapons used on both sides were spades, shovels.
and slanes. Two of the Coniiells—fathcr and son——receivcd
fearful wounds on theirlheads. so as to endenger theirlivcs;
also old Casserly. The affair created great excitement as it
was reported thatyoung Connell had been killed. We are
happy to learn that up to this time the three men are going on
favorably under the care of Dr. England. It is hoped all the
cases will terminate without any fatal result.

A girl about five years of age, named Mary Cooke, residing in
Henry street, Galway, was drowned. The child was, with sev-
eral others, playing about the canal lock at I.’arkavei'a, where
she accidentally fell in. Her young playmates, as thoiightless
as herself, gave no alarm of the matter, and it was not until
nearly a qiiartcr of an hour had elapsed that aid was at hand.
when her lifeless body was taken up and buried on the follow-
ing day.

For the last week, says the Galway /I/crcu'_7/. the supply of fish
in our market was rather abundant. The delicate mackerel, the
gurnet, the turbot, were all to be had plentifully. The anglers
for salmon and trout are reaping a rich harvest; the differezit
branches from the Corrib which i nterscct our town, are swarmed
with fish. Angling excursionists cannot complain of want, if
they only know how to tempt the fliiny tribe. Salmon at pre-
sent is sold for 6d per lb

A fish dealer, named Michael Hogarty, suddenly expired in
the fish market, Galway. The deceased was, it appears, in the
enjoyment of excellent health immediately previous to the occa-
sion of his death.

The Galway Vindicator contains an interesting account of the
enthusiastic reception given to the Rev. Peter Daly, P. P., on
his return to G-alway, on Tuesday last, from London. Along
the route of the railway terminus to the residence of the Rev.
gentleman, arches formed of flowers and evergreens were erected,
flags were displayed, and the cheering was enthusiastic as the
procession passed on.

Amongst those on the platform at the railway terminus were:
The Right Rev. Dr. M’Evilly. Bishop of Galway; N. Lynch.
D. L., J. I’.; H. Comerford, J. P.; Thomas M. Persse. J. P.; A.

Captain Blake Forrester. J. P.; Nicholas Colohan, Prof. Q. C.;
C. Vroker King, Prof. Q. C.; Dr. Moffatt, Prof. Q. C.; the Town
and Harbor Commissioners, and several of the Poor Law Guar-
dians.

In the evening several bonfires were lighted,

A inoiistcr excursion train left Galway for Dublin lately. It
contained 900 pcrsoiis, and when joined by the Cavan and Long-
ford branches the passengers numbered 2.000.

The Balinsasloe Star says: —The weather continues hot and
dry, and the want of rain is much felt. The yield of meadows
will be far short of former years—even Callows are extremely
light, so that hay may be expected to be enormously dear during
the ensiiiiig season. Cereals of all kinds are fast hastening to
maturity. It believed that the yield of forage this year will‘
not be more than one-half of what it was last year.

The G-alwiiy Vdicator says of the A(ll3i€tld(!2——'l‘hlS magnificent
vessel reached Galway, where slip has undergone a complete
overhauling. Before leaving Liverpool she made a trial trip,
having on board Captain Thompson, superintendeiit. and Mr.
John Laird, of Birkeiihcad. shipbuilder, besides Captain Bald-
win, and several other experieiiced scameii. This occasion at’-
forded extreme satisfaction to her jiidges——the vessel iuoviiig at
the rate of 12 knots an hour.

The Circassian will start for St. Johns on the 23d of this
month, whi.-ii it is expected she will make one of the fastest
passages across the Atlaiitic yet recorded. She has already
gone from shore to shore in seven days and a half", there can then
be no doubt ‘that, with the great improvements she has received
——amougst the rest a new three-bladed screw—hcr voyage from
Galway to St. Johns will be a wonderful one.

We are gratified to learn that the Circassiau on her next trip
will have a full coinplimeut of passcngei's, nearly all the bcrtlis
in the first and second cabins, as well as in the steeragc, are
already engaged.

In the House of Lords, on Tuesday, the Marquis of Clanri-
carde asked, according to notice, whether any steps have yet
been taken for the erection of new barracks at Galway beyond
the large expenses incurred by the purchase of land and the
constriiction of a bridge. He complained of the disgraceful
state of -the existing barracks at Giilway, which had been con-
demned by cvery lilFp(’Ctlllg officer for the last twenty years.
While, however, land had been bought f'or new barracks, no
fui-tlier steps had been taken in the matter. The Earl of Ripon
said he could not give the noble lord any hope that barracks
would be erected immediately on the‘ land he referred to.

Kilkenny.

At the fair of Callan, says the Kilkenny .7l[odemtor, two bulls
having joined in a hostile encounter, one of them crushed a boy,
aged twelve years, named Myles Fitzpatrick, from Newlands,
near Modeshall, against the wall of the fair green. The atterid—
aiice of Dr. Ryan, and subsequently of Dr. Cronyn, was obtained
f'or the siifi‘ci'<ii~, whose skull was fractured over the temple, so
as to jeopardize his life.

Our crops here in the district around Kilkenny, says the
Modemtor, look much better than could have been expected under
such circumstances. Generally the wheat has a very good ap-
pearance, and is likely to be productive in quantity, while su-
perior in quality. Tawney or winter oats very fine. and within
the past week nearly all in this neighborhood have been reaped-
Spring oats likely to be good in quality. but defective in quan-
tity, and very short in the straw. Barley looks much better
than we had expected, and probably will be nearly an average
crop. The poiato crop varies much, being here and there very
fine, middling, and very bad. No appearance of disease yet.
