have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark
for Queenstown, whence they will proceid to Limerick for dis-
embodiment on the 26th or 28th inst.

The M;u1o1- of B-allinacurra Bowman, containing 21 acres, with
profit rent of£l8; poor-law valuation, £10 15s., has been sold
to Mr. James Ilog-an for £5'0-

The sum collected on Sunday last, says the Limerick Reporter,
at the several Catholic chap»-ls of Limerick, and at the admira-
ble sermon preachtd by the Rev. James O'Brien, P. P., at St.
Michael’s Chapel, in aid of the Magdalen Asylum, Clare street,
under the care of the nuns of the Good Shepherd Convent,
amounted to £100. _ _

The Limerick Clironicle says:—If' the authorities in Cork fol-
lowed the example of the magistrates of this city, by punishing

arties who annoy the theatre, the nuisance wo ld soon cease.
The police have orders to watch after the “gods.” and summon
before the bench all parties offending. The effect has proved
most salutary in Limerick. ,

The Rt. Hon. the Earl of Limerick has been appointed a ma-
gistrate for the county Limerick.

Meath.
Colonel H. P. De Bathe, Knightstcwn, Navan. has
pointed a magistrate for the county Meath.

Monaghan.
Mr. John M'Cnrdy has been declared the successful competi-
tor for the premium offered by the grand jury of the county
llonaghan for the best designs for Monaghan jail.

Mayo.

Owing to the illness of Sir Colman O’Lcghlen. Bart., Q. C.,
Chairman, the Quarter Sessions of Ballina, county Mayo, have
been postponed.

A correspondent of the Connaught Patriot says:—I am grieved
to relate an awful and melancholy accident which occurred on
Monday night at Erris bridge. leading to Clifden, causing death
by drowning to Mrs. Daly of Westport. The car, with two ser-
vants was upset on the temporary passage over this fearful
river, which was for a long time in a frightful state since the
large bridge was carried off by the floods; the servants were
near sharing the same fate. I will not venture to relate the sor-
rowing feeling of all in this locality. on hearing of the sudden
death of the best of friends and fondest of mothers. May the
God of all Mercy receive her precious soul. Oh! what heart-
tending news tclthe fond circle of her large family and friends.
If all evinced a particular affection for her whilst living—who
will not shed tears when the tale of woe reaches—R. I. P.

The late storms have caused fearful damages in Westport and
the country chapels at Cuslough and Drumn-iin are almost un
roofed by the terrible hurricane——which lasted during the night
of Friday and the entire of Saturday.

The iVee}cl./ Register says:—The Bishop landlord of Partry.
the right reverend Lord Plunket, has done another friendly act
to Irish tenants seeking legislative protection. He has unwill-
ingly helped on the cause of the latter. Just as parliament is
about to meet, he does that which marks. more clearly than
mere argumnut could do. the nature of the irresponsible power
of Irish landlords. and the reckless manner in which it is put in
force. To-day in Partry there are some sixty doomed families,
who only live on the farms which they may have tilled in youth
and in manhood until the legal interval after “notice” has gone
by which necessarily precedes the crowbar and the posse comifatus
of the sheriff. What have they done? Are their rents unpaid‘?
Have they fiiled to perform any contract into which they had
entered with their landlord? It seems not. So says their onlv
friend. the priest. Father Lavelle. But though they have not
failed in their engagements, they have set at nought, rash men!
the wish of their Lord and Master on one point—- they have re-
fused to int their children be rifled in the proselytising schools
of Bishop P unket. of the sacred pearl of the Faith—tberefore,
in a little while they will be houseless beggars!

Roscommon.

An investigation has been going on in Castlerea in reference
to the late Roscommon election. Here are the main features of
the case :——On the lfith of May, the first day of the polling at
Castlerea, a man named Thomas Giblin, who is a tenant of Can-
tain Balfe. in Carrogarifl‘. came into booth No. 1. in the court-
house, to vote for Captain Goff. The deputy sheriff‘, at the re-
qust of the parties interested in Mr. Tennison. put the usual
question to him, commencing-——“Are you the Thomas Giblin
whose name appears on the list,” also? The man would not take
the oath, but threw down the book and went away. His name
is Thomas Giblin, but his rating was under 41, and the allega-
tion is that be came up to personate the man whose name was
on the list. but who is out of the county for the last few years.
On the part of the sustainers of the charge, evidence was given
to connect Captain Balfe with the occurrence in question,which
is asserted to be an attempt at personation ; while on Captain
Balfe’s part several witnesses were examined to show that he
had no connection whatever with the matter in question. Thom-
as Giblin himself swore that Captain Balfe had nothing to do
with the transaction. ,

The Rev. Peter O’Connor has been removed from Cloghan to
the Parish of Ardcarna, near Boyle.

Tipperary.

A Tipperary correspondent says a. young man in the employ-
ment of the Rev. Mr. G eloped a short time since with a
young woman from the vicinity of that town, who took £10
from her father.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed John Wm. Cooke, Esq.,
of Fort William to the commission of the peace for the county
Tipperary. _

The Nenagh Loan Fund Board have given the sum of £100
to the charities of the town—two-thirds to be given to the R0-
man Catholic, and one-third to the Prot- stant clergy, for distri-
bution among the poor of their respective communions. The
Society, which is in a prosperous condition, gave £200 in the
early part of last year for the same benevolent object.

The Clonmel Olzranicle says:—We think it right to correct
certain mis-statements which have been in circulation through
the public press. and which have reference to the course which
the Earl of Derby thought it right to pursue towards the ten-
ants resident in the immediate vicinity of the place where the
foul murder of one of his lordship’s teuant.’s named Crowe, was
committed. It has been alleged that Lord Derby has withdrawn
the notices to quit which have been served upon the tenantry
of the Coogcy estate; this we have to state confidently, upon
good authori'y, is not authentic. On the contrary, his lordship
‘has firmly adhered to the statement made upon the occasion of
the great Conservative banquet to the noble earl at Liverpool.

Waterford.

At the last meeting of the Dungarvan Town Commissioners
Dr. John G Battersby was elected a member of the board, in
the room of the late lamented Michael Mahony, Esq.

The exports of butter from Waterford for the week ending the
21st of Jan. have been 1,473 firkins. The price there on yes-
terday was 1203 for first quality brands.

A great curiosity was recently picked up on the strand at Tra-
more. A poor man, at ebb-tide, picked up, where it lay washed
in shore. a gun, which, from the inscription it bore, showed that
it belonged to one of the 59th regiment, wrecked on board the
'ill-fated Sea Horse in Tramore‘ Bay, in 1816, forty-four years
ago. The stock is beautifully encrusted with shells.

Wexford.

The news that Mr. Knox, agent of Lord Templemore, has in-
stituted an action for libel against P. J. Smyth, Esq.,has caused
an intense excitement amongst the tenantry on the Dunbrody
estate. The apprehension prevails. that it Mr. Knox succeeds
in this prosecution, the estate will become one vast Scotch plan-
tation. Mr. ‘myth visited Arthuistown, Ballyhack. and Rams-
gmnge on Saturday last; and on Sunday. immediately after
last mass, a large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the
-chapel-yard at Ramsgrange._ '1 here were 'ully 4.000 people
present-—men, women, and ch1ldren——and the utmost enthusiasm
was exhibited. The assembly was addressed in eloquent terms
by Father Codd. of Fethard. who octupied the chair.  J.
;Smyth and other gentlemen also spoke ; and resolutions,
strongly condemnatory of Mr. Knox, and expressive of the de-
termination of We sford to defend the action, were with unanim-
ity and with acclamatiori adopted.

The Wexford Oomiluirm says :—A gentleman not far from
this town gave directions to his servants to destroy a large inas-
tifi‘ dog which had committed some mis*emeanoi'. They at once
captui ed the dog, hung, and buried him. But it appears that

been ap-

they had performed neither the hanging nor the burying effec-
tually. for the dog, having resuscitated a little, contrived to
makcghis exit from the grave, when he at once proceeded back
to the farmyard, where he actually mustered up courage enough
to make another attack upon a person passing that way.

Westmeath.

At the great Athlone fair there was a large number of pur-
chasers. The following were the quotations of prices realised
in the course of the day: Mr. James Smyth of Masonbrook, sold
twenty heifers to Mr. Bolton at £13 103 ; Mr. Cheevers, of

EUROPEAN NEWS.

The Bohemian brings to Portland European news to the 2nd
inst. :-

The Paris Bourse was greatly depressed, and a fall of one per
cent had taken place. At the close on the 31st there was a
slightly better feeling, and the latest quotation was 67 f., 50c.,
which was a shade higher than the lowest point touched. The
panic is ascribed by the Paris correspondent of the London Diily
News to the breach between the Emperor and the Pope. A
medal was about to be struck at the Paris mint to commemorate
the signature of the treaty of commerce between England and
France. N 0 news of moment had been received from Spain.
The latest intelligence from the seat of war announces that the
fortifications of the Spanish encampment before Tetuan were
progressing. On the 30th ult., in the House of Commons Lord
John Russell stated in reply to Mr. Disraeil, that in consequence
of a report which reached the government from their Minister
in Switzerland, a representation was made in July last to the
French government in reference to the rumored annexation of
Savoy to France. He would state in a day or two whether the
papers could be produced without detriment to the public ser-
vice. On the 31st ult., Lord John Russell stated that, as far as
the government understood, a plan for an army association in
Sardinia, having for its object the voluntary organization of the
people, had been proposed, but Garibaldi had not accepted the
Presidency. The Paris Univers is _suppressed, The Moniteur,
in publishing the decree of suppression, says: —-“Among the rea-
sons for the measure is the irritating controversy of the journal,
by which religious opinion was diseoncerted, the country agitated,
and the fundamental basis on which the relations between the
church and civil society are established, underminded.” It is
stated that the immediate offence which led to the suppression
of the Univers was its publication on the 29th of an encyclical
letter of the Pope to the Archbishops and Bishops, in which he
states the motives for his refusal to accept the advice of the Em-
peror to give up the Romagna. Other Journals had been for-
bidden to publish the letter. The (_Jo1-respondent. a religious
periodical, had received a second warning. The Monitcur of the
31st says :——"The government had often deplored the irritating
character of the controversy on religious questions. The Univers
having been suppressed, violent articles in reply to its provoca-
tion are henceforth without motive and without excuse. The
whole press will understand that these grave questions must be
discussed with that quietness and moderation which are rupiir-
ed by the interests of the public peace arid respect for rcligioii.”
A Brussels despatch saysthat the publication of the Univers,
suppressed in France, will be continued in that city. Orders
were received at Toulon to prepare the plated frigate Glorie for
sea with the utmost despatch. She_carries thirty-six rifled guns,
and a steel prow of enormous dimensions. Her destination
was unknown. The Paris Journals publish a despatch from
Chambery, which states that on the 29th the party hostile to the
accession of Savoy to France made a demonstration. Nearly
250 persons assembled from all parts of Savoy at the request of
the residents of Chambery, and asked information from the Gov-
ernor as to whether it was the intention of the King of Sardinia
to cede the province to France. The Governor replied that the
King would not willingly cede the province. The statement was
received with some cries of “Vivc lc Roi.” The population of
Chambcry were complete strangers to the demonstration which
took place in the street, and it was inferred that their feelings
were consequently sympathetic with France. The French pro-
tectinoists were making desperate efforts against the Emperor’s
proposed commercial reform. . Petitions were being numerous-
signed in all the manufacturing towns against the measurely.
On the other hand, the Emperor continued to receive congratu-
latory addresse~ from important commercial bodies.

The Paris Pays says that numerous deputations from Savoy.
composed of persons of high standing, were dai y arriving. The
Swiss Federal Council had drawn up a circular despatch ex-
pressing alarm at the possibility of the annexation of Savoy and
Nice to France. Count C-avour’s contemplated visit to Paris
and London is temporarily postponed. A rumor that Sardinia
i 1-gquires Corisica from France in exchange for Savoy and Nice
i is pronounced destitute of foundation. On the 27th ofJanuary
‘ the Sardinian Minister for Foreign Affairs forwarded a circular
to the Sardinian Ambassadors abroad on the question of Central
Italy. C-avour observes that the inhabitants pf Central. Italy
had accep;ed the Congress with confidence, but important events

I’-Ff 1*-

followed, which cause its adjournment. He says the pamphlet
“Le Pase et le Congres,” of which, without seeking its authority,
no one can contest the importance, the letter of‘ Napoleon to the
Pope, the speech of the Queen of England, and the speech of
Palmerston in the House of Commons, are facts which show the
impossibility of the restoration of the ancient rule in Central
Italy. It is certain that the Congress will not be assembled for
the present. The government of Central Italy, being satisfied
on their part, wished also to satisfy these provinces by proclaim-
ing the law of Sardinia for political reasons for the present. Only
announcing these facts, Cavour concludes by stating that he will
never fail in_his responsibility for the tranquility of Europe and
the paciflcation of Italy, Baron Ric_asoil in presenting flags to
the National Guards of Florence, said :—We require great pm.
dence and large forces to preserve independence. A great deal.
remains to be done. The annexation of the provinces of Ital
to Piedmont is necessary to guarantee Italian nationality, the
defence of which has become a common duty. Letters from Na-
poleon explain the apparent contradiction in the late statements
of the ministerial crisis. Jilangieri had definitely tendered his
resignation. but leave for six weeks only was granted to hirxif...
The Neapolitan General, Annelli, had demanded reinforcements.
It was stated that the troops on the frontier were to be increas-
ed. A popular manifestation, with shouts of ' “ Viva la Oonstitu.
tiom,’ had taken place. It was considered not unlikely that a
state of siege ‘would be proclaimed by Austria, in Hungary as
well as Venetia, before long. Agitation continually prevailed
at Venetia. In the course of one day seven oflicers were attack-
ed and wounded in Verona, and the cavalry were ordered to
clear the streets. Attempts were made to hoist the tri-colored
flag at Chioggia, Portesco and Palestrina. Numerous individ-
uals had been arrestcd at Venice for insulting persons prome-
nading while military music was being performed. The author-
ities of Venice had been made acquainted with the determina-
tion of Austria to retain that place and defend it to the utmost.
Le Nord of last date says the encyclical letter was drawn up by
the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli with the greatest secrecy,-—
General Garibaldi arrived at Milan on the 281th ult ,from Como,
with his bride. A Turin letter says that the military ties be-
tween Sardinia and Central Italy are very positively and openly
being drawn closer, and they almost authorize the assertion that
a military fusion is accomplished.

The question being discussed at Turin at the present time is
how the defacto annexation will be effected, and it is thought
most probable that the Deputies of Central Italy will meet first
in their respective capitals to decide whether they ought to take
as subjects of King Victor Emanuel, their places in the National
Parliament at Turin. There can be no doubt their decision will
be in the affirmative. ‘
‘The London Times, in an editorial, explains the present posi-
tion of the San Juan difficulty. It says :-

We have reason to think that the proposals made to the Ameri-
cans are such as may fairly satisfy both countries. Instead of
standing out for the Rosario Channel and the whole group of
islands, as against the Hare Channel and none of them’, a third
channel is proposed for the boundary line, which will not 0
evade the two disputed courses, but will leave the Americansm
possession of the largest share of the disputed territory. This
channel in its course cuts off the island of San Juan alone to the
west, and consequently leaves us with thisisland only, while the
Americans will retain the remainder. Sc considerable, in fact
is the concession thus made, that it reasonably suggests a. little’
compensation, and we believe the American govexnment will be
asked to give us the whole of 9. certain csast of‘ headland, which
the 49th parallel now cuts in two. We do sincerely hope this
reasonable proposal will be accepted. -

The riotous proceedings at the Church of St. George, in East
London, reached a most disgraceful height on Sunday night, the
29th ult. The church was crammed with a noisy mob, who not
only prevented the services from being performed, but endear.
cred to demolish the altar, and indulged in the pastime of throw.
ing about cushions, prayer books, rice. The officials of the church
were treated with personal violence, and considerable proper
was destroyed. The matter had claimed attention in bog
Houses of Parliament. -and the government had promised meag.
ures to put a stop to the disgraceful proceedings.

The Chamber of Commerce of Calais has thanked the Empep.
or of France for his project of commercial reform. The address
-ays that the reduction of duty on the cotton and thread em-
ployed in the manufacture of tulle can alone enable it to contend
against foreign competition; but with this reduction the manu.
facturers are ready to accept the struggle. The Hungarian
Protestant deputation had left Vienna without obtaining an an.
dience of the Emperor. His Majesty offered to admit to his pres-
ence two menibers of the deputation separately, and as private
individuals, but this was declined. The Hungarians demanded
the restoration of all the rights and privileges of their church,
and will accept nothing less. If the Emperor complies, it would
be tantamount to a confession that the Austrian policy for the
last few years had completely failed. One side or the other
must in the end give way, and a_violent struggle is feared.

On the 1st of February a considerable Moorish force attacked
the right wing of the Spanish encampment, but were repulsed.
The Spanish then made an attack on the Moorish lines, threw
the Moors into disorder and took their position, which they
maintained till the end of the fight. _'|‘he Spanish artillery caus-
ed immense losses to the enemv—est1mated at 2.000, while their
own losses were but 200. The victory was complete. The
brother of the Emperor commands the Moors»

WE regret, says the Kentish Observer, to have this week to
record the elopement of the _wife of Mr. Smith Bannerman, a
gentleman of large property living at Hunton, near Maidstone,
with the Rev. A. W. Greene, curate to the Rev. Canon Moore,
of Hunton It seems that the painful fact was discovered by
Mr. Bannerman on his return from a day’s hunting; and there
can be no doubt that the elopement had been planned many
weeks before, and only put off‘ for a favorable opportunity. The
guilty couple were traced to Gravesend, but they had got four
hours’ start of their pursuers, and Mr. Bannerman only learned
that they had crossed the water in a boat that had been off
Gravesend for some weeks. It is stated that they had been seen
with a brace of loaded pistols, as if determined upon extreme-
mities in case they had been overtaken, The lady has property
in her own right amounting to £100,000.

Tun Academic de Medrcine has_ been saisie, as the French
call it, with a new discovery, which promises to preclude the
use of chloroform altogether. _The discovery, which is_ most
valuable, inasmuch as it is within everybody’s reach, consists _in
heating an iron rod to a red heat, then holding it a certain dis-
tance to the patient‘s forehead, exactly between the two -eyes,
when sleep will be procured in less than three minutes‘! The
sleep thus produced is deeper and more free from agitation,
lasts quite as long, and has not the terrible danger of becoming
eternal, like that which arises from the use of the deadly drug
now in favor. Cancered breast has been already removed under
this new influence, and Velpeau has honored the discovery with
his approbation and support. _

EXTENSIVE and most important fortifications are now in pro-
gress, as well as in contemplation, for the more efficient protec-
tion of the harbor of Milford and the Royal _Dockyard at
Pembroke. A powerful battery of heavy guns is to be forth-
with erected on the southern shore of the haven at Bulwell
Point. An extensive fortification, with heavy armanent, is
being erected at Popton Point near Milford. The gpvernment
having completed the purchase, and taken possession of the
land at South Hook Point, and_ the contemplated defensive
w,,,.k,, at that important post will be forthwith commenced.
These will command the entrance of the haven, and are to be
most efljcicut. A battery is also to be erected near the late
signal station.

A very curious trial for polygamy is likely to attract the‘ at-
,,em,,.,,, of the gentlemen of the long robe at the_next Lent As-
sam: for Sussex. A man of no small consideration at Brighton
cont:-actetl marriage with five different women, three of whom
are si ters. and with all Whom he_ has continued to cc-habit for
nearly eight years in town. A disagreement on some points of
precedence brought the disgraceful affair to light.
