The last Belfast Mercury says :—The weather still con-
tinues very unsettled. There was another thunder storm
on Sunday that lasted a considerable time, and the rain
which accompanied it was unusually heavy. The storm
came on about seven o’clock in the evening. and lasted
for upwards of an hour. _

The Dublin Frccmanstates that Mr. Catter.=on Smith
has just completed an admirable portrait; of Sir Thomas
Staples, the father of the bar. It has been executed for
the north east bar, who intend to place it it in the bar-
room at Belfast. It is a most trutlil'u1 likeness. The res-
olution to have the portrait taken was carried unanimously
at a largly attended meeting of the circuit on the occa-
sion of the last assizcs. He and Lord Charlemont are
the only surviving members of the Irish Parliament, and
both voted against the Union. It is worthy of mention
that sir Thomas’s maternal grandfather, Lord Molesworth.
served at the batttle of Ramilies as Aide-de-Camp to the
great Duke of Marlborough.

At the recent examination of candidates for admission
to the bar, Mr. James Wilson, A. M., Queen’s College,
a. member of Lincoln’s Inn, and also of King’s Inns,Dub-
lin, obtained the fir.-it place, and the law studentship, of
the value of 150 guineas and tenable f'or three years—
the highest honor awarded by the Committe of Legal
Education. Mr. Wilson is the first_Irishman who has ob-
tained this distinciion for some years.

Cork.

A correspondent of the Cork Eraminer, writing from
Kinsale says :—This town was last night thrown into a.

state of great excitement, in consequence of an accident
which occurred to a party of gentlemen who had been on
a fishing excursion in asmall yacht owned by Mr. Quinn,
of Innoshannon. About ten o’clock most frightful and
piercing cries were heard, apparently from the direction
in which this yacht was anchored. In a very few minutes
a great number of people collected on the quays, but the
night being exceedingly dark none could tell the exact
spot whence the alarm came, neither could ‘they render
the least assistance, as all the boats were lying aground,
and but for the timely arrival at the scene of the acci-
dent, of Mr. J. M’Carthy, of H. M. Customs, who imme-
diately on hearing the screams put off with another man
in asmall boat, some lives would certainly have been
lost. It appears that the entire party. seven in number,
got into a small punt for the purpose of landing at the
quay, and the boat’ being overloaded, upset on getting
across the tide. When Mr. M’Carthy’s boat arrived at
the spot where the punt capsized, Mr. Quinn,.the owner
of the yacht, was completely exhausted, and could not
have held up many minutes longer. A second boat ar-
riving shortly after, and the entire party were saved.

The following property has been sold in the Incumber-
ed Estates Court :—-

Lands of Curraghmore, containing 876a. ; yearly rent,.

The Cork Exannner SayS2—A boy about 13 years of
age, named Edward Carroll, f'ell into the river off one of
the slips a little above Parliament Bridge. The current
in the river was so strong owing to the recent rains that
the child was borne along and sunk before he could be
rescued, although efforts were made on the parts of two
young men named Lynch and Lawlor to save him, both
plunging in manfully, one off Parliament Bridge and the,
other from the rear of the Herald Office. The former
with great courage, having hastily divested himself of his
shoes and coat only, plunged from the dangerous eleva-
tion of the parapet of the bridge into the flooded channel.
The swollen state of the river, unfortunately. fruzztrated
his intrepid efforts, and it was to aid him in his noble at-
tempt that the other young man leaped in. The f'ull
name of the former is Timothy Lynch, and he is in the
employment of Messrs. England & Co. The latter is a

Q printer engagid in the Herald ofiice. It is supposed the
lad was washii g his feet on the slip when he fell off. He
is the son of a tiumull residing in Tobin St. ‘

Head Con;-.table Mil's brought a man named Daniel Fo-
garty, whom ‘he had arrested under the following circum-
stances, bi.-fo_re the magistrates at the Police Office. The
prisoner had arrived in Quecnsiown from New York, on
last Sunday, and coming up to Cork on the same day,
took lodgings iii the house of Owen Ferris,’ Adelaide St.,
to whom he presented a letter of introduction from a per-
son n-om d Fi a:.cis Fogarty, of -New York, whom Ferris
had previously known. In this letter Ferris was reqiie.-:t-
ed to give the prisoner every assistance in getiing a
cheque for £78 on the Bank of Ireland cashed. The pri-
soner showed him the cheque alluded to, which was drawn
by an American Bank. and be relying on the prisoner’s
statements, at his requestiendorsed the cheque at the
Provincial Bank where he was known, and got the money
which he liaiidid over to the prisoner. The cheque was
presented by the Provincial Bank at the Bank of Ireland.

r _|‘i —. ~-. ill. iik stating that they had
no advices to pay it. Fogarty was held in custody, but
advices by the next steamer arrived, when the cheque was
ap.-aid and he was re 3l'O3p9s’lullqO]up.

Fifteen young men left Cork on the 21st ult., in the Sa-
brina, for Bristol, en route f‘or Italy, to join the Irish Bri-
gade. They were all activo, handsome—looking young
fellows. none of them apparently belonging to whatis
called the humble class of life, nor did they appear to be
persons who entered the profession of arms through ne-
cessity. Several of their friends accompanied them to
Quecnstown. _

At the Cork Police office, a. young man named Joseph
O'Brien, was committed to stand his trial for embezzling
money. the property of his employers, Messrs. James and

As a man named John Rielly was passing over Parlia-
ment Bridge, Cork. he was’ tripped by a. chain, and fell
into the river. The tide was very low at the time, and
he struck with great force against the bed, by which he
sustained serious injuries on the neck and head. He was
removed to the South Infirmary, and is now progressing
favorably.

An inquest was held by Mr, Honohan, coroner, on the
body of John Sullivan, in the public house of Mrs. -Den-
nehy, Lower Glasheen. The evidence proved that the de-
ceased went with a younger brother, from Upper Glasheen,
to Kinsale on Monday night, to purchase fish. Having
made his purchase, he began to load his car, and whilst
in the act ofraising a basket, he was suddenly seized with
a. fit, and, in a few moments died.

cases were heard recently at the Letterkenny Present-
ment Sessions. The inquiry, which did not terminate till
half past six o’clock in the evening, resulted in the ma-
gistrates and the associated ces_spayers_ finding that 281
sheep, out of the 290 lost, had been maliciously destroyed.
Mr. James_Hamilton, advised. by Mr. William Martins,
appeared in support of_ the claim, and Mr. Robert Carson,
with Mr. Murray as solicitor, conducted the case on behalf
of the opposing cesspayers.

_ Francis Manserg, Esq., has been appointed _a deputy-
lieutenant for the county Donegal. _

Down.
The Downpatrick Recorder says :——Our reports from all

parts of this large county concur in describing the ap-

pearance of the crops as most promising. , The late show-
ery weather has improved wheat and grass lands consid-
erably, whllst it has been most favorable for the young
brairds of mangold, carrots, and turnips. On the whole,
the prevailing opinion is that, notwithstanding the late-
ness of the spring, the cropsgenerally look better now
than they did the corresponding period of last year.

The Newry Telegraph states :—From official returns be-
fore us. we notice with much pleasure that our industrious

The Daily Express says :—The Pope’s Irish Brigade has,
we believe, received some fresh recruits this week from
the Roman Catholic ranks of the Dublin Metropolitan
Police, who have ever been distinguished for their stead-
‘fast loyalty to “his Holiness.” Nine members of the
force obtained their discharge on Thursday, with the in-
tention, it is understood, of joining their countrymen of
the constabulary who have gone to support the govern-
ment of the Papal States.-—

Derry.

Mr. J . Davidson, collector, Londonderry collection, has"
been appointed collector, Cork collection.

In the House of Lords, the Earl of Belmore called the
attention of the House to the appointment of Mr. Lyle,
the Receiver-Master in Chancery in Ireland, to the ofiice
of Lieutenant of the county and city of Londonderry,

He said that the otficc of lord-lieutenant of a county in -

Ireland was created by an act which passed in 1831 ; and
in the discussions which took place in both Houses of the
Parliament at thetime, it was admitted that the individu-
also chosen for lordslieutenant should be persons of high
character and rank, and resident in the counties in which
they were respectively appointed. About two months
ago. a vacancy occurred in the oflice ol" Lord-Lieutenant
of Londonderry by the death of Sir R. Ferguson. There
were two peers connected with that county, as well as
several gentlemen of property. Nevertheless the appoint-
ment was given to Mr. Lyle, a Master in Chancery—a
gentleman, he admitted, of the highest character, but the
owner of a very small property in the county. It was
impossible that Mr. Lyle, who must be constantly in his
oliice in Dublin, could attend to the duties of the Lord
Lieutenant of Londonderry, nor was it constitutional for
the crown to appoint one of its own officers to be the
head of the unpaid magistrates of the county. He sub-
mitted, moreover, that the office of Lord Lieutenant was
not properly filled by a person who audited the accounts
of county treasurers, and looked after receivers. The
gentlemen of Londonderry felt that a slight. was put
upon them, and he was informed, that when Mr. Lyle in-
timated his appointment to the grand jury, the announce-
ment was received in solemn silence. By a standing
order of the House of Commons, it was declared to be a
breach of privilege for a Lord Lieutenant to interfere in
an election; and yet Mr. Lyle, a day or two after his
appointment, did not scruple to take part in the election
for the city of Londonderry.

The Earl of Carlisle explained that his appointment of
Mr. Lyle was in accordance with the wishes of his col-
leagues ; and that he thought the selection a remarkably

- Galway.

The Western Star, speaking of the Galway May Fair,
says: So small a fair has not been seen in Galway for
many years past. The condition of the cattle was miser-
able. It is attributed to the severe winter just passed

. through. Notwithstanding this, the prices they brought

were very high. Milch-cows averaged from £10 to £14 ;
heifers from £9 to £11, and yearlings from £5 to £6 5s.
Hoggets, of which the supply was but middling, 42s to
47s; wethers, 50s to 53s; ewes with lambs, 48s to 52s.
About forty wagons, with purchased cattle, left by the
luggage train for Dublin and the stations along the line.

At the fair of Castleblakeney, there was a pretty good
supply of black cattle, and heifers sold at from £8 to £10
The show of sheep was fair.—In the evening there were
unmistakable symptoms of disturbance among the peas-
antry, some of whom were inebriated; but the arrival of
about thirty policemen prevented any very serious, oc-
currence. ‘ «

The following officers were present at the muster of the

"A medal for long and meritorious services was present-

ed'to Paymaster-Sergeant Thomas P. Smith on parade. on
Saturday the 20th of May, 1860-late Schoolmaster-Sen
geant of the 55th Foot.
. A medal for services during the Indian mutiny was pre-
sented to Musketry Instructor Thomas Calanau on Wed-
negday, the 30th of May, 1860——late Corporal of the 10th

The two medals were presented by Lieutenant-Colonel,
the Earl of Clancarty. . g

The Ballinalsloe Star says: A poor decent woman,
named Mary Johnston, from the county Westmeath, was
found on the-thigh road, near the village of Kilreekle, in
an almost dying state. She had left Athlone the day be-
fore, having only eaten a half-penny worth of bread, and
was on her way to Loughrea, when she fainted on the
roadside, and remained there all night. A man named
Dilleen discovered her, and rode over to Gurtymadden
police station with the intelligence. Upon which Con-
stable Atkinson had her removed into Loughrea Union
Workhouse, where she is how fast recovering.

The (Jonnaugliz Patriot says: The prospects of the com-
ing crops are most cheering. Wheat, barley, and oats
have a splendid appearance. The potato is fast raising
its head over the ground. Vegetables of all kinds, and
fruit-trees arelooking healthy, and promise to yield a
crop unequalled for many years. _

The splendid collection for the Pope in Tuam amount-
ed to £430. His Grace the Archbishop led the way with
a munificent subscription of 100 guineas. .

The Galway Express says: The late refreshing showers
have mantlcd the meadows with grass, covered the fields
with‘ corn, and spread the richest verdure in every direc-
tion. The rapid progress of vegetation is something
magical. A blade of barley has been left at our office,
the stem of which is two feet high. Potatoes are selling
in Moate for fourpence half—penny a_ stone.

The new steamship Counaught will leave Galway for
New York on the 26th of June.

Kilkenny.

Speaking of the crops in Kilkenny, a correspondent
in the Kilkenny Journal writing from Graigue, says:
The weather here is beautiful, the atmosphere is genial
and so loaded with nourishment l'or the growing crops’
that unless some unforeseen blight awaits its opportunity,-
to drown our hopes, there could be no greater prospect
of an abundant harvest. One. lio:-ir we have rain, the
next it is sunshine, with a balmy air. The young wheatg
are everywhere looking well, the cats is fast getting up,
and the barley promises to be a good crop. Potatoes
are also doing well ; in every district they are to be geen
over ground. Turnips and mangol promises to he 3
large crop—-the latter are partly over ground. The pas-
ture fields are furnished with an abundant supply of
grass, still many of the black horns are looking miscr-
able. Meadows will very soon be cutting, and will turn
out to he an exceedingly large crop.

Kerry.

A Kerryman, addressing the Editor of the Field news-
paper as to a former letter published in that paper, says:
" I am very anxious to see a trial between them, and
I am willing to run five couple of my Kerry beagles (I
have but ten couple) a drag hunt of four or five miles

against the same number of fox hounds now belonging to .

any one pack in the South of Ireland for £50 with your
correspondent, not to be decided by the fiist dog up, but
by the greatest number of dogs up (say within 100 yards
of the finish). The trial to take place in the county of
Kerry. It would afford some amusement, and, I hope no-
jealousy.” ,

In the Limerick Police Court, Patrick O‘Neill, ayonng
man, who stated he was a native of Ulogoeen, was charg-
ed with being absent.,f'rom the training of the Tipperary
Militia. The prisoner was prosecuted by Sergeant Foley
of that regiment, from whose statement it appeared that
he had been prosecuted before in the presence of Mr-
Howley, at Galbally, for deserting from the North Cork
Rifles, after their dlsembodimeiii, and his period of im-
prisonment had just then expired. ,I:le did not deny the
charge, and was remanded to the county court.

Mr. Costello, one of the coroners of Limerick city, was
entering the residence of the late Mr. George T. Hill ,
who had died suddenly, when he was forcibly ejected by
Mr. R. B. Corneille. The coroner gave his assailant into»

of " Death from disease ofthe heart.” ' Mr. Corneille was
afterwards brought before the magistrates, and having.
apologised was discharged. ,

Speaking of a religious reci ption in the Convent of
Mercy, Ballina, the Oonnaught Patriot says: On Tuesday,
the 29th of May, the imposing ceremony of receiving
two young ladies into the pious community of this Con-
vent, commenced at ten o’clock in the morning, presided
over by the Right Rev. Dr. Feeney, Lord Bi-hop of Kil-
dare, and a large number_of his clergy. The young 13.-
dies who have renounced the world and all the gaieties
that wealth and station could ensure, to serve their heav-
enly Father, as devoted Sisters of Charity, teaching the
ignorant, feeding the hungry, and coint'orting the afflict-
ed, are Miss Glynn, niece to our revered, beloved, and
rei~pi-ctfully esteemed Lord Bishop; and a Miss Scally,
from Dublin. After the termination of the ceremony,
many of the Catholic families of the town, as also the
friends of the young ladies, partook of a splendid de-
jeuner. ~
