THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL SATURDAY, OCTOBER Mark Aungier, objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Farkin6on stated Mr. Aungier hd set in eon-acre, and examined the collector at considerable length, who, however, negatived the statement, and tbo name was retained, Similar objections wore urged against other parties, and resulted in 16 Liberals being admitted, against 2 Conservatives. One claimant was admitted on these two baronies.

The register of Nethercross, containing ,175 names, was then called. Thomas Brangan was objected to by "the Conservatives. Mr. Parkinson stated'he had left the house before July, and called on Charles Cobbe, J.P., to state the fact. Mr.

Cobbe stated, in reply, that he had heard he was gone. Mr. Hamilton Snrely, the court will not disfranchise upon merely hearsay rumour. Mr. Cobbe, do you know this of yonr own knowledge? Mr.

Cobbe No, and I do not wish to press it. Mr. Parkinson Oh, but I most press Mr. Cobbe to give me the evidence. Finding him here in court, I must ask him to give full evidence.

Mr. Hamilton I think this unreasonable of Mr. Cobbe to object to be examined. A similar case occurred in Kingstown in reference to Captain Hutchinsjn, and I did not press the examination. Mr.

Cobbe I have no delicacy whatever to give tha required evidence if I could, but I cannot do so. If I could I would disfranchise him. Mr. Hamilton 1 really thought you did not wish to appear as a witness however, we cannot take the will for the deed here. Have you any other witness, Mr.

Parkinson? Mr. Parkinson Yes. There was an auction there, aad everything sold off before July. I see Mr. Peters in court.

I shall examine him. Mr. Peters was about giving evidence when Mr. Hamilton objected. This gentleman tea solicitor attending here on professional business; he is going to become a witness he should be sworn in the ordinary way.

Mr. Peters I don't know much about it, but I heard there was an auction there. I think last uly. Mr. Hamilton Will you if necessary, it was before the 20th July last? Mr.

Peters I heard so. Mr. Hamilton From whom and'whero? Mr. Peters being pressed could not state from whom oi fix the time particularly, when the court ruled tho name should be retained. Upon this list five were expunged, all incises of death, three Liberals and two Conservatives.

On the supplemental list, containing thitty-seven names, twelve Liberals were admitted and one Conservative. All had been objected to, the list here, as in the other northern baronies, being nine-tenths composed of Liberals. There were very many warmly contested cases, and the evidence of the collectors chiefly relied on, as but few parties attended. Tae court concluded the revision at hour, and then adjourned to Kiimainham, where it will resume on the 18th of October. Tho court then proceeded with publicans' licenses and civil bills.

"ngton, identified the watch as his pmpsrty. He i Previously described the watch to tho jlice. The watch was ordered to be given up to the and the prisoner was sentenced to two month' imprisonment with hard labour. Suspicion of Felonious Intent. Two loose-looking characters, named John M'Donnell and James Rsilly, were-bfbught up in the custody of Police Constable 189 charged with loitering about the vicinity uf Church-st.

between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock this morning, seemingly for the purpose of committing a felony. It appeared that tho two prisoners had been omy hat morning discharged from custody on a similar charge. A number of felonies were stated to have been com nittel in the neighbourhood of Church-street, within the last three weeks. Both prisoners were ordered to find sufficient bail for their future proper and reputable conduct, in default of which they were soverally committed to prisoa for threejnonths' with hard labour. Malicious Iiyury.

A labourer named Richard Leo was brought up in custody of Police Constable 08 and charged with having wilfully and maliciously broken three panes of glass in the window of the house No. 9, Mongpenny-yard, Boot-lane, also damaging the window sash, by throwing a brick through it, the windows so injured being the property of Misses Eliza and Bridget Cross, dress-makers. The charge having been proved, the magistrates sentenced the prisoner to pay half a-crowu for loss and tla-magedonetfie windows, alsoa penalty of twenty in default of which damages and tine being paid, the prisoner to undergo ono month's imprisonment THE CORN TRADE. (From the Weekly Agricultural Revka.) We have had some fino dy days during the helping the farmers in the later districts to sectra cropswhich, although damaged by the rains, are not quite destroyed. Although it is evident no country in Europe, not even fertile France, is exempted from bad harvests, theexpererience of our most practical agrioul curi i ts is convincing them that, generally speaking, Ireland, from peculiarities of soil and climate, is best adapted for green crops, and especially for grazing purposes.

By looking over the agricultural statistics for 18(51, just issued by the Registrar-General, we barn the startling fact, that there is a decrease in the crop of wheat ia Ireland for this year acres, compared witbi 1859 Certainly, of our cereals, this is the most unprofitable and uncertain, and least adapted for our wet and cloudy climate. Although we havo some districts, such as the Golden Vale of Tipperary, and the beautiful county of Carlow, that produce the finest of wheat, what is the whole extent of these favoured localities compared to all Ireland? Our foreign supplies begin to fall off rapidly, the French out bidding us both on the continent and in Amoiica. Thoy have also been beforehand with our millers in the English markets, and have secured immense quantities of both British and foreign wl eat at mod erati rates, a large amount of which has yet ta bo shipped. Buyers have taken the alarm. At London and Liverpool, Leith and Glasgow, ever since Monday last, dealers have been anxiously trying to get in stock, have keen forced to pay a smart advance or tli9 small lot that ldars would part with.

It would appear that without cjoubt the average yield per acrs ot their small grain," as the Americans term wheat, oats, aDd barley, is much less thaH last year and the latest re orts from Chicago, the shipping port of the greatest wheat growing states, quite confirm this. How very much depends upon the real yield of the English harvest for this year, and how much it is to be regretted the absence of such statistics as would give us au accurate knowledge, and not a very vague estimato, of its amount. In Scotland, as well as in this countiy, we have these statistics, and know now about the worst, and are in some measure prepared or preparing. A good business was done in wheat at our Corn Exchange last Tuesday. A quantity of Dauish was for shipment to the westC03St of Ireland.

Not much was done in Indian holders raising their preteiisi.ms faster than millers and dealers were prepared to fvllow the price is still comparatively moderate, and so, also we consider, are our own oatu, both white and blade Tho trade is peculiarly difficult this season, but, as w- said last week, it seems almost an impossibility tint prices will go back to the previous low point. TUB MARKETS, DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE We had an Increased swraly of farmers' arahl at mirkat, to. tescue, the generous spirit and chivalrous temperament of Eglinton (applause) so that I am tempted once more to apply the apposite line, which I quoted once before in this place in a happier hour Virtus sclplada? et mltls saplentia Lajsti. Itura to a gladder theme, our honoured and beloved Queen hag recently visited these shores, and her presence has Men hailed with fervid loyalty by every class of their warm-hearted inhabitants (applause). The Queen's University has indeed no local habitation in Dublin, hke that elder and celebrated college which owes its foundation another British Queen; otherwise I need hardly aay how joyfully our young academy would have welcomed within its precincts a gentler and more virtuous Elizabeth (applause).

It will be in the knowledge of those whom I have the pleasure to address that the act' which established the Queen's Colleges in Ireland was passed under the administration of the late Sir Robert Peel (applause). Among tho witnesses of this day of their early progress I am happy to see at my side the son of that most eminent statesman, nlid friend of Ireland (applause). No one has left a deeper mark upon the recent annals of the country no one has more intimately associated his memory with the marvellous march of Irish improvement and progress than the beloved she. I fondly hope that the son may be destined effectually to carry on the same beneficent and exalted mission, and that, among other objecU of hereditary Interest this institution may largely share and reward his fostering care. I beg now to take leave of you, my young friends, the graduates.

and prizemen of the day, with the most heartfelt good wishes for your future distinction, happiness, and virtue. In tho course of these biief remarks I have put before you more than one illustrious name. I do not say that the same elevated positions may bo within the reach of all, but in point of actual merit, there is no merelmman excellence-which any man may not equal, or even surpass May tho blessing of Him to whom all things are possible be ever with yon all (applause), Sir Kobert Peel, who on rising was greeted with loud applause, then addressed the assembly. He said Ladies and gentlemen The ceremony, of to day has been deeply interesting and impressive. We have witnesod conferring of degrees and diplomas and the distribution Of prizea to tho successful candidates by tho senaie of the affiliated colleges constituting the Queen's University.

We heard the language of well-merited compliment and of earnest encouragement which has been addressed to the students of this most national institution. We have seen the most eminent and distinguished personages in this counts)- tho Viceroy and, the Lord Chancellor tailing an aclive part In the proceedings, surrounded by tho efte of city, in the presence of all who by their character and countenance can add weight and dignity to the occasion (applause). And if I now, by desire, venture to appear in this place' to offer a few remarks, 1 do so with oxtrsmo diffidence but at the same time 1 can truly say that, on moro grounds than ono, personalis Well as political, I havo witnessed the ceremony of lo day with the liveliest emotions, not unmixed with recollections of the past history of this institution (applause). Tbo Viceroy has been pleased to allude to "the originator of this scheme and he has done so with that feeling and eloquence are the characteristics of a kind and cultivated mind (applause). I accept gratefully accept in tho presence of the senate of this university, the compliment that has been paid by one who unites to the highest of-ficial potition and tho qualities which should adorn that position, that genial affability aad those aeeomplish-ments which endear to him the hearts of everyone who comes within his sphere (loud applauso).

And if I may be permitted to allude to the originator of this scheme of the colleges, as to a public man, I can bear testimony to what has been truty said, that the welfare of Ireland was ever foremost in his thoughts, and those words, Welfare of Ireland," stand conspicuous in bold characters of relief on the pedestal of his political fame (applause). As allusion has been' made to the character of thi scheme, I may be permitted to allude to one who by his writings, by one of the lnqst practical works upon the improvement of Ireland which tended considerably to the establishment of this institution one who came boldly forward and said, If you want to solve the difficulty of why Ireland, with its matoral and natural advantages with its people, physically and morally, not inferior to the people of other countries is more backward than other conntrics I tell you the reason of its bechwardness is, that there is a want of industrial education amongst' the people of Ireland and he laid it down with a strong force that an academic institution, which would confer on men af all creeds the aids and advantages of professorships of science, was the best, perhaps the only means ef remedying that evil. These words were spoken long before the question was agitated in parliament as to the establishment of those colleges, arid I am glad to have this opportunity of pointing on this occasion to that man, who I know took a very active and interesting part in. the eetablish-. ment of them I allude to the honoured President of the Cork College, Sir Robert Kane (applause).

I hove said that on more than one greund I naturally take an active interest in this institution. I have watched it from its commencement, and I am glad to see its development, which has opened to threo-fourtha, of the youth of Ireland those academic advantages which they were before which has rendered immense benefits, not only to the cause of popular education, but to the good government and the character of the country (applause) And what ia the cri-terian of the success of this institution Not mere numbers they would bo significant if it wore only that but the proof of its success is the great political gain which has been derived by the- establishment of a' system, in Ireland which has opehed to men of different religious denominations combined secular instruction upon the broad basis of religious equality (hear. hear). That was what mainly interested Sir Robert Peel when he originated this plan. He said in the House of Commons You may have tho opinions that you desire, but I shall relinquish with the greatest regret the hopes of an education for Ireland which will give a combined itfstitution to the youth of the Protestant, the Roman Catholic, and the Presbyterian creeds.

Sir James Graham, who was one of Sir Robert Peel's warmest supporters in the establishment of those colleges, said, Grant this system of education to Ireland and you will give her on education equal to tho University of Scotland Or pf Trinity College, Dublin." Ana, now I ask you, have not tho colleges in their results corresponded with the expectations which those men formed But even still more remarkable, I can point to the late Prime Minister, Lord Derby, who, when Lord Stanley, most strenuonsly advocated this system. I have his words, which are remarkable. He said" I think that as you bave given your sanction to an exclusive system in Trinity College, Dublin, for the purpose of supporting clergy for the Established Church as you have elected a theological professor for the Presbyterian creed in the Presbyterian College at Belfast, so do-1 think you have wisely and liberally agreed to contribute to the education of the Koman Catholic priesthood by endowing the College of Maynooth. AH those are theological endowments, but when dealing-with the laity, I do entreat your lordships to permit the youth of Irelaud to be educated in common and under the same teachers in all those branches of learning which do not and cannot affect their religious opinions." Well, as the Lord Chancellor has just said, elevenyears have elapsed since this system was been in operation, and we are justified in asking, has it answered the expectations of those fa Eajtrlraental Science, Cork Boliu, Samuel second la Natural Science, Belfast; Burden, Henry, third in Natural Science, Belfast.

The Vice-Chancellor then said It ia a most gratifying part of my duty on this occasion to tender now to your Excellency the thanhs of the Senate of the Queen'a University for the honour you have been pleased to confer npon this meeting by yonr presence and yonr kind -participation in their official proceedings by the part you have just taken in distributing their honours to the successful candidates. The present is, I am happy to say, the sixth opportunity which we have Keen privileged to enjoy of having ow meetings thus honoured by your Excellency, as the representative of onr most gracious Sovereign, and of making to you our grateful acknowledgments of the support you have tiniloima'y given to the interests of the University of the sanction you have en pleased to give to all the arrangements which we have from time to time thought might be most conductive to the cultivation of the studies which it is onr office to promote, and of your enlightened and continued advocacy of the guiding principle of our charter the general diffusion of united education. I am persuaded, from thie experience, that the success of the institutions, of which this University is the head, as evidenced by the facts to which I have alluded, must be as gratifying to your Excellency as as it has been to us, and that we have your ntrre concurrence in our hope that this success will be not only permanent but progressive an abiding testimony to the wisdom and the forethought of the illustrious and lamented statesman who, was most instrumental in the fonndarion of otfr colleges, and to the judgment of those by whom their early struggles were ncooraged and their gradual progress has been foalered and approved. To none have the university and the colleges been more indebted for their encouragement, for language of kindnose, of approval, and of hope, than to your Excellency and the other distinguished noblemen, who, since tho commencement oi our labours, have filled successively that high office which our gracious Save-reign now entrusts to yourjhands. Tour, Excellency, I am- very sure, will pardon a brief allusion at this moment to the name of one of those, your predecessor, whose honourable life has, I deeply regret to say, within the last few days, been suddenly terminated.

Tho first meeting of tbo Senate of the' Queen's University to confer degrees was holden in the year 1852. It was honoured by the presence of the Earl of Eglinton, then holding the office of lord Lieutenant of Ireland. I have before me the record of his address to us, and to the students then brought under his notice an address though brief, yet full of encouragement to us and of hope anil kindness towards them. Again, after the lapse of a few years, when filling the same high office for the second time, his lordship attended our annual meeting, and again evinced the same interest in our progi ess, the same kindly feelings towards those who hud obtained our degrees and honours the same hope for success in their, future career. It is fitting that I should leave to others, and in other places, to speak of the Earl of Eglint in the high term? of approval and regard which his noble and chivalrous character, his eminent qualities of head and heart, his patriotic his sound judgment and his social attributes, justly deserved.

In this place, remembering the occasions when he stood among us and the terms in which he was then pleased to express himself, I feel that I can say with truth, in his own words addressed to us, that, he was desirous to promote the success of education in Ireland, and that there were very few institutions in which he look a greater interest than in this University. I trust that in successive years we shall continue to be thus assisted and honoured by the support and presence of those to whom our gracious Sovereign may confide the administration of the government of Ireland. While that administration is in the hands of your Excellency 1 know we cannot have doubt or misgivings as to your acts and feelings. We recognise in the past and in the present a very sure guarantee for the future and our gratitude, strong as it is, is not stronger than our anticipations. His Excellency the Lard Lieutenant, who was received Hh loud applause rose and Baid I have now had sufficient experience during several successive years of the ability, ar.d also of the completeness with which ray respected friend, the Vice-Chancellor of the Queen's University, reviews the whole state, prospects, and requirements of the institution in which he holds so distinguished a place, to be most fully aware that "nothing whatever further can be needed from me or from any one to fill up either his'raaasive outline or minute detaib.

It will surely, I hops, not be deemed superfluous if I express the cordial satisfaction I feel at the considerable increase in the number of the students new in attendance at their adequate representation of the different denominations of creed in this country at the creditable place they have held in the public competitions of the country at the extension given to the operations of the body at large, as evidenced in the system of middle-class examinations, and tho introduction of what I remember at my own university we used to call, perhaps without due academic solemnity, ''the little-go," and at the general success and credit which are attached to the exertions of the respective professors I hear, haarY Here a matter of regret occurs to me, that whereas I last year expressed a hope.that an arrangement would be speedily made to Secure some moderate addition to their very limited scale of salaries, circumstances have as yet prevented tho Treasury from giving eii'ect to any immediate realisation of the scheme; but I trust that no long time will elapse before a beginning at least maybe made (applause). It is impossible that any of these recurring anniversaries should be held without the memory painfuUy reverting to the losses and gaps which have occurred in the interval. I cannot pass through the room next to that in which we-are assembled without perceiving in tho long series of the portraits of Irish tham havn nftflsed awav within tha jesty's government. It does appear to mo that an arrangement might be made to extend this liberal system of education into all the provinces (hear, hear). Were (Iifs done, you would only bo carrying out the original views and plan ot those who founded the QueenVcal-lcges in Ireland, which plan, for Jhe moment, was onlv partially carried out for the purpose of subsequent ad justment.

The other point to whioh I wish to refer the expediency of placing this institution on a nar with the university of Scotland and Trinity College and it ia more easily dealt with, because we don't wont to tro to government for grants in the matter; itcanhaTlMH with by a display of the public spirit of this countt and thero is in Ireland as much public snirit as thnwu mdtherEnglandorScotland. AXtw depends, I should say, not only on a display of the nublic spirit of. Ireland, but also on the countenanJ Vol who have the opportunities, and the facilities of doins good. I find that tho youth of the Queen's univeS cannot compensate themselves with those scholarships, exhibitions, and prizes that are attached to the older universities. I find on reading over a memorandum of those colleges that there are only I think ten exhibitions for graduates in each college of 40f' year for each, tenable for one year and that the sum at the disposal of the authorities for the givine of prizes to- under graduates is extremely small it is is given away in prize books, and 'ia affording means, I believe, for the purpose of maintaining students in the courses of the- University.

If wo compare those with what we find in the older universities, those funds are most inefficent, and the public spirit of this country looking to what has been already done, ought to come forward, and by itself endeavour to place the Queen's University on a footing with the other universities (hear, hear). I take this opportunity of saying that, as I am so firmly convinced of the immense advantages -which would accrue to the youth of Ireland by payinc I will myself, with the permission of the senate, establish three scholarships of iOl per year each one for cadi of those colleges, for the space offten years (applause); and I only hope that tho example I set may be followed by those who have a more direct interest in tbo welfare of the country (renewed applause I don't tako any credit" to myself for doing this I fei it an honour to be able to assist in the work which was, founded by my father I accept the position, I would.almost say upon the pleaof being the founder's sin (cheers). I have spoken to tho secretary of this university upon the subject to-day, and placed a memorandum in 'his hands bearing upon it. I sincerely tnwt tfefllf her? will be public wough to establish. 10 or llecholftrslilpj, 6f exhibitions call them what you please for the undergraduates of this university, and myself for a period of ten years will establish three annual scholarships of- iOl.

for each of these colleges (applauuse). I have, I fear, too long trespassed on your time, but before I sit down I cannot refrain from saying that each succeeding anniversary-acknowledges the justice nothing more or less than the justice that has been paid to the youth of Ireland by tbo extension of academic institutions; each succeeding anniversary acknowledges that the genjrous efforts of thoso who laboured' to remove the difficulties which arose from various religious creeds lmve been crowned with the most eminent success. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the in-gatborings of the fruits, so to speak, which wo tin's day have witnessed is proof of the wisdom of tho past. It is the only reward, perhaps, but it is a reward for the labours of those men who strove to improve-the educational soil of Ireland for that seed time and harvest from which Irelaud is now reaping such abundant and recurring 1 crops;" and 1 sxy that the man, whether in this hall or wherever else ho maybe, must be callous and indifferent to the welfare of his country who will not join in thanks to God for blessing the work from which Booial improvement and sounsl learning have flowed through all the channels of the country (applause). One word more and I have done.

Go on, I would say, to the youth of this university. Continue to advance in the career of knowledge the fear of God; keep to these paths by which you have been enabled to master not only the rudiments of classical knowledge, not only to become proficient in the various faculties of arts, medicine, and but which have enabled you thoroughly to appreciate those njblest creations of antiquity, which, consecrated by the genius of Greece' and Rome, have become hallowed by the hand of time (applause), Yes, many of the youth of this university are now for the first time, perhaps youthful and experienced as they are about to enter into a wider career perhaps a social, perhaps a political competition but at all events before one and all of you lie open the struggles of lifo, its inequalities, its difficulties, its temptations, and its success, grapple with those difficulties and these temptations with spirit and determination, and success will crown your exertions. But recollect, and be not unmindful in that moment, that your success and the merit attending it will not only be a source of gratification to your own individual feelings of just and honourable ambition, but that it will not fail to reflect a bright ray upon those who devoted, in your youth, their time to your service, and who have laboured that you myht become, in the pride and manhood of your vigour, an ornament to society and a benefit to mankind (loud applause) The proceedings then terminated. REFORM OF THE GKAND JURY LAWS. The Grand Jury Laws Reform Committee held their usual weekly'jneeting on Thursday last Edwakbs, Raveagh, Fintona, Tyrone, presided, and several ratepayers were in attendance.

Colonel Edwards, on taking the chair, said that he felt bappy in joining the committee on this occasion, as thero was no subjoct of greater importance in Ireland than the question the committee had taken up, involving as it did the proper management of such a vast sum as grand jury cess now amounted to, upwards of one million per annum. He hoped every- ratepayer throughout the country would join them. For his own part, he would use any influence he had in his own county to get support and subscriptions for the committee, and he haped that before long every county in Ireland would be seen taking part in the movement. The following correspondence was then xead, and ordered to be inserted on tho minutes From John Singleton, J. Quinville Abbey, county Clare stating I am glad that a memorial to government is about to be presented for the further reform-of any abuses in the existing systoin, and I would therefore respectfully suggest, in reference to" the memorial I hove read in the Irish Times, that he prohibition of magistrates attending at road sessions out of their district, and where they are totally unconnected by property or residence, should be introduced therein, and strongly urged upon the executive this being a well-known abuse" both to the jobber and the anti-jobber the former turning it to good account in some coses, to forward his own interests, and in others, to obstruct works of well-ascertained public utility and many are the instances that could be adduced for both purposes, which have caused the session-houses to overflow with J.P.'s on some occasions, which are comparatively empty in others From Isidore Bourke, Claromorris, county Mayo, supporting the objeclsof the committee, and suggesting the names of gentlemen "from Mayo to join the deputation.

From J. Lloyd Fitzgerald, Esq, forwarding names of influential gentlemen from the county Limerick to join tho deputation. On the motion of Captain Parley, seconded by Mr. Cosgrave, it was ordered that 500 copies of the memorial intended for presentation to government be printed, and forwarded to the country for the purpose of eliciting opinion thereon, and that the ratepayers be' requested to send in subscriptions now, the only thing wanting to carry out the objects of the committee to a successful issue. On the motion of Mr.

Brangan seconded by Mr! Clarke, it was ordered that the secretary do make arrangements with Mr. Dillon, the owner of the committee-rooms, te receive subscriptions, and that a printed receipt-book be left with his clerk for that purpose. On the motion of Mr. Byrne the following extract from the evidence of John Hancock, Esq, J.P., Lurgan, land agent to the Right Hon. Lord Lurgan, given before the Devon Commission, 1845, was ordered to be inserted on the minutes.

Evidence I think the great evils of the present grand jury system are, first of all, the appointment of tho grand jurors by the they are not an elected body they are quito irresponsible for their acts, and theyldisappear in two days and they-get through their work in a apace of time not, siifBciept for- tho discharge of their dntieB in a manner satisfactory. That has attempted to ba cured by the introduction of ecsspayors, but they are the nominees of tho grand jury. The road business, and all the jail business and public institutions under the control of the government I would transfer to the boird of guardians." The committee adjonmed to next Thursday, when a large number of cesspayers are expected to inaugurate the formation of a National Association in place of the Committee. BAMKitun'.

KINGSTOWN COMMISSIONERS. The usual weekly meeting of this body was held yesterday, Mr. Jamki B.iHiiiiiT, J.P., presided. The other members present wereMessrs Mastersou, Nugent, Kelly, Murray, Haaler, Carey, Butler, Hayes, Hennessey, Buckley, Crosth.waite, Slator, and Sullivan.

Tho minutes of the previous meeting wore read and cnfiimed. A police report was read and adopted. A general conversation took place on the improvement of Juggy's Well) situate at Monhstown. Tho chairman suggested that the inhabitants of Monkstowh be asked to have a plan made of the proposed improvement' that would be inexpensive, such as a templi) or any other ornament similar to those over wells in foreign countries. Mr.

Sullivan said that the opinion of some scientific gentleman must ba consulted, which would enable them hereafter to say they had done the beitthey could to comply with the wishes of all parties interested. It was a place of old standing, and could not bo removed without just cause. Mr. Kelly -There is not the remotest intention of removing it. Mr.

Sullivan -Leave the well as it is at present when we have an engineer of our own we can see what can be done with it. Mr. Nugent Yon will get opposition if you attempt toremove it; several wi'l oppose the intention. Mr. Crosthwaite If the Vartry water comes to Kingstown the necessity for Juggy's Well will die out.

The subject then dropped. Mr. Carey moved that a lamp' be erected at De Vesci Lodge opposite Monhstown Castle. This was seconded by Mr. Masterson, and agreed to.

Mr. Hennessey said that he required a lamp where it should have been erected two years ago in the Albert-road, and asked would he have to give written notioe, The standing committee should be directed to inspect tho locality. He added, the lighting of one district and leaving another in utter darkness was inexplicable to him, Mr. HnBler The lamps arc placed in tho most useful parts of the district. The Chairman Wo shall adjourn the matter' until another board is appointed.

As Mr. Hennessey does not wish for the former committee, it would be bettor to wait until next board day. Mr. Sullivan agreed with the chairman, and the subject was hold over. Tho following letter was then read from the Gas Hibernian Gas Light Company, 2, Forster-place, Dublin, 10th 1861.

Dear Sir I have for a long time had it in Csatem-plation to represent to tho Cimmissionersof Kingstown the very great inconvenience wa suffer by the engagement to light the public lamps of tho township only until one, a. in. Now, however, my difficulties on that account are so great that I must apply for aa increased rate of charge per lamp, if we are to continue the present system. You are aware that certain lamps, those paid for by the Harbour Commissioners, are lighting from dusk till dawn. The township lamps are extinguished at ono o'clock.

I find it quite impossible to work these lamps with the economy of wages we are accustomed to use, and on which our rates of charge are to a great extent based. I am obliged to have more than double the attendance of lamplighters, taking our Dublin lamps as a. standard; and during the summer months tho lighting of the limited number your commissioners order, and, for the very few hours per night, is a positive Iobs to the company. We find it next to impossible to get lamplighters to attend properly to the duties required of them under existing regulations as to hours, and I am this week obliged to give additional assistance, which, of course, increases the expenses of lamplighters. Under these circumstances, I find it necessary to represent to the commissioners that I must adviBe the directors to look for an advanced price to the extent of five shillings per lamp per annum on all the lamps lighted during the winter months, and five shillings per lanip on all lamps lighted during the summer months.

The. proposed increaso in. the rate of charge will make about ill. per annum additional payment on tho whole of the lamps in the township, which will not more than cover the extra charge for lamplighters as compared with the cost of lighting a similar number of lamps in other districts. I remain, dear Sir, very faithfully your's, G.

Sanders. "James Murray, Esq." Mr. Sullivan then brought forward his motion, to tho effect that the lamps be kept lighting in certain portions of tho town during winter months, viz. in George's-street, Kingstown Avenue, York-street, and the Cross Avenue, in fact, all the localities where small dealers live, whose occupations oblige them to be up at an early hour. He suggested that a committee bo appointed to deliberate on the matter and report to the board.

He (Mr. Sullivan) was speaking to a poor man some few days ago, who told him that he was rated at il. and taxed at 2s. Si. in the year, and not a Bingle penny had been laid out in the locality where he resides for those last fourteen years the man told him that he would rather pay 5s.

and see something done for the money. He (Mr. made use of this conversation as illustrative of his argument. The present outcry of unpopularity against themwas these reasons neglectof their duties towards the wants and rights of the poor in the town. The non-lighting of the lamps after dark was an inducement to strollers and other questionable characters to come to the town.

He felt confident that his motion would not cost mure than, note stated. Mr. Hayes said ho was glad to second the Mr. Masterson begged to move as an a committee be appointed to compute the expenses of keeping tho lamps lighted until dawn, 4 a.m. This was seconded by Mr.

Hasler, and on the question being put, the amendment was declared carried. The secretary was requested to get the necessary information. JI02JK8TOWN IIEMORUL, A communication from Colonel Harrison, acknowledging the reply to the MOnkstown memorial was received. The letter was referred to a committee to deal with it. THE FIRE AT HOSKSTOWN.

A letter was read from Mr. Trouton, agent to the Royal Exchange Assurance, acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the board of the 2nd Instant, and begging to.inform the boardthat the expenses already incurred, and the services of the company's engine at the Longford Terrace fire, must be considered by the Imperial Company as their contribution. -THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION. Before the meeting separated, Mr. Nugent said that it was currently reported in the press that the commissioners would support the four outgoing candidates as a body.

He repudiated the idea, as no such thing had ever occurred or was thought of, and appealed to the secretary who agreed with him. On the face of it it was nonsenical, as some of the members of the boar would not vole for the four outgoing gentlemen. Other routine business was then transacted, and the meeting separated. BIRTHS.

The revision of the list of voters for the county Wick-low commenced yesterday in J3ray before Mr. Ludwick, Assisfant-Barrieter. Mr. Henry and Mr. Synws appeared for the liberals, and Mr.

Tuxmvy for the Conservatives. The lists for the baronies of Newcastle and Rathdown were disposed of. A number of property claims served by the Conservatives were objected to by the Liberals, and the greater number struck off. Mr. T.

H. Barton, who was on the original list as a rated occupier, served a claim to be admitted as a freeholder, and produced the deed under which he claimed. The Banister said he did not think this was a case where an objection ought to be made, as Mr. Barton already appeared on the list of rated occupiers. It was not necessary to put him to the trouble of proving.his property claim, as he was well known in tho county and ho (the Barrister) thought it was a case that came within the section of tho act of parliament which gave jurisdiction to award costs against tlie party objecting.

Mr. Henry contended that the case was not one that came within the section referred to. Mr. Barton now came forward on a perfectly new qualification they did not seek to disturb him as a rated occupier, but they did to his admission as a freeholder, and they had a clear right to -put him or any other claimant coming forward under such circumstances on proof of his title. The Barrister said he would admit Mr.

Barton as a freeholder, and reserve the question of costs. The same decision was made in two other cases of a similar nature. Notice of some other claims of this description were served by the Conservatives, but the claimants did not come forward in consequence of the objection made by Mr. Henry, as they were not able to prove title. Four Conservative property claimants were struck olf on objection by the Liberals, upon the production of deeds of conveyance to other parties.

The' revision will take place in Bray to-day, in Bal-tinglass on Monday, in Tinnehely on Thursday, and in Arklow on Friday. COUNTY DUBLIN KEVISIOS. The adjourned court held its sitting yesterday at Bal-briggan Court-house at ten o'clock. Charles H. Hemphill, Q.C., presided.

The bench was occupied during the day, amnngot others, by the Hon. St. John Butler, J.P., Henry A. Hamilton, J.P., Thomas Bakff, J.P., John Baker, J.P., H. H.

Woods, J.P.,- Charlc3 Cobbe, j.P., Frederick Hamilton, solicitor, appeared in sup-fort of the Liberals, and Mr. Thomas H. Parkinson, solicitor, for the Conservatives. The court proceeded with the register of Balrothery, East. The name of Patrick Boylan, of Legdary, wai objected to by the Conservatives, but the evidence adduced foiled, and the name was retained.

John Connell, a 202. freeholder, was objected to by the Conservatives on the ground of having parted with his qualifications, and after considerable discussion" the evidence failed. Name retained. Walter Duggan being objected to by the Conservatives on the ground that he did not occupy, Mr. Parkinson stated that such was the fact, and could be proved.

Mr. Hamilton Th's is a misannreheasion. anil nnr. in delay the court I will tender Mr, Duggan for examination, n3 he is in court. Mr.

Duggan was then examined and fully sustained his right John M'Nally was objected to as having parted with his interest. The collector not being present, the ease stood ovor for the collector, who subsequently stated that Mr. M'Nally had set the house furnished. Mr. Hamilton Can you state if this gentleman parted with the entire house, and did not leave a servant or caretaker on part of tho premises Collector I cannot.

Mr. Parkinson then produced a Mr. Fletcher, who stated he was tho tenant, and be had occupied the house several months, and had the entire control of the hall door, and no servant of Mr. M'Nally remained. Mr.

Hamilton stated he could not sustain this case. Naino expunged. John O'Brien, of Mountjoy-square, was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Parkinson examined G.

Blackburne, J.P., who stated he was the agent; that he knew Mr. O'Brien had parted with the qualifying property, being cotton mills in Balbiiggan, and that he had only an interest of 11. per annum at present out of tho property. Mr. Hamilton objected to this evidence Mr.

O'Brien had formerly the entire interest. Mr. Blackburne states he parted with portion by deed, and parole evidence cannot be received. Court If Mr. Blackburne will state generally that this gentleman has not now a 2QJ.

interest I must receive the evidence. Mr. Blackburne stated be would do so, and that he knew the fact without reference to any deed. Name expunged. This register contained 348, of whom 18 were struck off on both Bides, being-chiefly parties who had dlod since last revision.

On the supplemental list, containing 50 names, all were objected to by the Conservatives The' name Patrick Collins being called, Mr. Parkinson asserted that Mr Collins held jointly, and was not entitled. Mr. Hamilton called on the collector, who, in reply, Btated that he was acquainted with Collins that there was no joint holding that he was sole tenant, and had resided there for years. Mr.

Hamilton called tho attention oi the court to the frivolous and vexatious nature of the objection, and stated such was the character of nine -tenths of the objections on the supplemental list-Court I cannot do more than admit the name. John Early, of Baldruminan, was objected to. Mr. Parkinson stated he held -jointly with his brother that the case had been so proved last year. Mr.

Hamilton I object to theso statements of last year's transactions they are no evidence here, and I am satisfied the court will not be influenced by such statements. Even if true, which I deny, the circumstances may have altered. Mr. Parkinson I ask liberty to examine Mr. Early, who, I am informed, has como to prove his case.

Mr. Hamilton I object to give any evidence to negative a mere unsupported statement. Court Well, if Mr. Early be in court it will save time to examine him at once Mr. Hamilton Then 1 shall examine Mr, Early myself first.

Mr. Early, in answer to Mr. Hamilton, stated his brother's land joined his own that he held his own land, for which he was rated independently of his brother, or any one, and that he tilled and farmed it for his own purposes. Mr. Parkinson cross-examined the witness, who, in reply, admitted that there were about five acres oi his land upon -which, his brother's cattle grazed, and that he in return had the right to graze a portion of his -brother's land.

Mr. Parkinson I contend that there is here proved a mutual joint interest, and such disqualifies, let the portion be ever so small, or for whatever time. Mr. Hamilton Does Mr. Parkinson seriously contend that grazing on land disqualifies.

Mr. Parkinson Prove your case Mr. Hamilton I have done so I can do so again. Mr. Early, can you, when you please, and if so disposed, drive off your brother's cattle Witness I can they only graze there by my permission, and as an accommodation to my brother, there being no fences between us on that part of the land.

Mr. Hamilton Then your brother has no absolute or assumed right to any portion of the lands rated to you? Wilness None whatever beyond what I have stated. Court I must admit this gentleman. Up to tho letter 15 Liberals were admitted, and who were all objected to on somewhat similar grounds. John Tolcr, of Courtlough, was objected to, and Mr.

Parkinson stated he was not the tenant, that his mother was the tenant, and that the landlord, Mr. Baker, J.P,, would prove the fact, Mr. Baker, who occupied a seat on the bench, in reply to Mr. Parkinson, deposed that he knew the lands, and that the mother of the claimant was tenant for- this and other lands that he was tho landlord and consi- dered her the ten ant since her husband's death Mr. Hamilton Do you receive rent from John Tolor? Yes.

Do you pa63 receipts to him in ordinary form, snch'as received one half-year's rent from John Toler up to a galo day I do. Mr. Hamilton How do you reconcile 6Uch a dealing, with the assertion that hie mother is the tenant Mr, BaM-After his father's death I consider his mother ffnnt for all. Mr.Hamilton How does John Toler hsld these lands? Mr. Baker From year to year.

Mr. Hamilton Had hie father a lease? Yesi Mr. Hainilton-Has it sxpired? Yes. Mr; Hamilton This is strange. I am positively instructed that John Toler holds under you by lease granted by yourself since his father's death; Mr.

Baiter Oh, yes. I did make hiin a lease, but I consider the mother responsible. Mr. Hamilton I shall net pursue this examination further, after this extraordinary contradiction, and that from the bench. It is plain this claimant has the legal estate, pays the rent in his own name, and gets receipts according to the admission of Baker himself, and I call upon the court to dismiss' this most unfounded objection.

Mr. ParkinsonIt is not unfotinded. Mr, Baker still considers the mother the head of the family, and responsible. Mr. Hamilton I am not here to discuss what Mr.

Baker considers, but to sustain this gentleman's legal right i and I again appeal'to the court to register this gentleman. Courtr-As Mr. Baker states he granted a lease," and that the party is in.occujoation, I must allow the claim. Name admitted, making I8fLiboraIs admitted on this The Balrothery West register was then called, containing 206, out of which 7 names were expunged, all beiDg cases' of ejeath. Supplemental list was called, and contained Si names, Objcctioaji were served on all the parties retnrnei.

RECORDER'S COURT. The Eight Hon. the Recorder oat yesterday for the purpose of hearing and determining upon appeal cases brought from the police and minor local courts. The Bur License Act. Mr.

C. Fitzgerald, appeared to sustain an appeal lodged on bebalf of Mr Michael Honan, keeper and conductor of a wholesale beer-shop in Mecklenburgh-street, who had been on-victed in the penalty of 51. on a police-summons, for having unlawfully and knowingly permitted drunkenness and other disorderly conduct to take place in his shop on the 12th of August last also for having allowed two drunken men to remain on the premises, and other disorderly persons, Mr. Fitzgorald submitted that the convictitsn obtained before tho police-magistrate was bad and unsustainable, inasmuch as it had set forth several distinct oll'ences, each or any of which if proceeded on separately could be visited with a penalty of 57. In the present case those different charges of permitting drunkenness of harbouring disorderly persons, and of allowing fighting, on the premises, bad all been merged in one charge, and had been dealt with as one offence.

On this point Mr Fitzgerald held that the conviction was untenable. He had submitted the point in the police-court, and the police chief magistrate (Mr. Stronge) observed that as the point had frequently been urged before him, he would wish that a decision were had upon it. in order to ennble Mr. Honan to lodge an appeal, the full penalty of ot.

had been imposed on him. Mr." Barry replied, and argued that the separate charges, from their very nature, formed the elements of one offence under, the act (6th sec. 9). The Recorder, alter hearing the evidence of the po-lice-inapoctor (Armstrong), overruled the point raised by Mr. Fitzgerald, and affirmed the conviction.

However, as it appeared that the full penalty had been imposed by the police magistrate, for the purpose of enabling the appeal to be made, the fine should be reduced to 11. The court was subsequently occupied in hearing appeals from decisions on civil bill process, none of which possessed an? public interest POLICE COURTS Yesterday. HEAD-OFFICE Obtaining Money under Pulse Pretences. Robert Brown wits brought up in "custfidy, charged under the following circumstances It appeared that on Thursday the prisoner entered the Anchor Hotel, Edeu-quay, and, stating that he had just' arrived from Australia, requested that a mosscnger miht be placed at his disposal for the purpose of getting his luggage on shore. Mrs.

Keeley, tho proprietress of the hotel, at once called her waiter, Thomas Lynch, and directed him to attend to Brown. On proceeding along the quay, the prisoner hesitated, and said he thought it rather early to go aa board. It w88 then between twelve and one o'clock. He accordingly invited Lynch into a public house, where they had each a small bottle of porter, for which the prisoner paid. Having left the public-house the prisoner asked Lynch to lend him a few shillings until he got his luggage.

Lynch gave him something over two shillings, whereupon the prisoner said he wanted to go to the Post-office to get some money orders cashed. Lynch accompanied him there, and to several other places, and beginning at length to suspect that all was not right, he gave him into custody of P. E. Gaynor, 104 who had previously received intimation of certain mal-practices of the prisoner in other quarters. The prisoner was also charged by Mr.

Duane, of 18, Parliament-street, with obtaining a pair of boots, and endeavouring to obtain money from him on false pretences. Mr. Dunne stated that the prisoner came to him yesterday and stated that he had just arrived from Australia, where he had been agent to his (Mr. Dunne's) brother. He also said that he had been commissioned by the brother aforesaid to pay Mr.

Dunne 90f. aforesaid on his (the brother's) account. Mr, Dunne expressed considerable gratification at this pleasing intelligence, which was not diminished on tho prisoner's asking him for a pair of boots on cedit. He gave the boots, but when asked for a loan of a sum of money his suspicions were aroused, and he set a watch on the enterprising Brown, who was ultimately captured under the circumstances detailed. Sent for trial to commission on both charges.

Knox v. Palmer. On yesterday shortly before three o'clock, Mr Sidney made an application to the presiding magistrate, Mr. Allen, in reference to this case, which was heard before him about a week since. Mr.

Sidney said there was a matter which was before his worship that day week, relating to two gentlemen of high social standing. It was the case of Captain Knox against Captain Palmer. Oa that occasion he (Mr. Sidney) applied to havo a rule of bail enforced against Captain Palmer, in order to protect Captain Knox from the violence which he feared receiving from him, and in the discharge of his (Mr. Sidney's) duty, it became necessary for him to allude to some of the causes of the disunion between the parties.

Since then he was, most happy to say, mutual friends had interposed, and with the most satisfactory result. Captain Palmer had admitted the Injudicious course he had taken, and had become teconciled to Captain Knox. Mr. Allen I am extremely happy to hear it. Such was the course I suggested should be pursued, and I believe it to be the in which differences between gentlemen of position Bhould end.

Mr. Sidney said, it ruid'abo heeaehia pMSing duty to state that' Captain Palmer had become fully reconciled to his family, who had returned to him all lived together now in harmony. Captain Knox being esirous to strengthen those ties whichahould exist between man and wife wished to have the recognizances, binding Captain cancelled, being no longer in fear of violence from him. Ho (Mr. Sidney) was aware that Mr.

Allen could not do this of himself, but he (Mr. Sidnej) would undertake that the Attorney-General would complete the matter. On his own account, he (Mr. Sidney) wishedto say a few words. On the former occasion Captain Palmer had, during teniporaro excitement, made some allusions relative to his (Capt.

Palmei's) wife, which had been published by one or two of the Dublin journals. He considered them too ridiculous to merit a reply. However, he might mention in reference to that branch of the subject, that on looking over Lodge's Peerage the lady's age was now public property he found that Captain Palmer's wife wasnearly sixty years of age, and was a near relative of Mrs. Jinox mother. Mr.

Allen said he was happy to find the matter'ami-cably settled, and would doanything in his power to assist in cementing the reconciliation. Sjlr. Sidney having thanked his worship for his kindness, the matter terminated. woman named Rosanna Doyle, was brought up in custody of the police, on remand, charged with'b'aving unlawfully in her possession a silver Geneva made watch, value three pounds, for which she could n'o't properly, account, and 'which phe is susneniei! plundered from the person of the owner.

Now I have considered it fir eleven years, and it does appear to me that, notwithstanding its progressive developmentnotwithstanding the benefits it has conferred on Ireland, there are wanting two things to place this institution upon that footing of comprehensive utility which it is calculated and able to enjoy. You will permit, me if I am not trespassing too long upon your time (erica of no, no), to allude to the first and most conspicuous of those points.

It has been well observed by a very intelligent writer, who probably maybe in this hall now, that these colleges are a centre which collects to itself the highest and the best of the national intellect, and then by tbo influence of sound knowledge fructifies and developes it to the public advantage." Now that is true is part, but not altogether. No doubt the Koman Catholic and the Presbyterian yoitth have availed themselves to a very great extent of the colleges in accordance with the hopes and expectations of those who founded the eolloges. I believe that, when this institution was founded, of the six millions of Eoman Catholics in the country, only one hundred were reaeiving an-' academic education -'whereas attfie prewni W.tfttft Srt wore 'Iftmaa Oatfiofics the books of these colleges at ona and the same time than had passed through Trinity. College for 'a period of fifteen years. Is not that proof of.

tbe advantages this institution has conferred upon. Ireland is it not a proof also that the Roman Catholic laity, of this country are not despised have not shown a willingness to accept Trinity College as the source of their, academic instruction I may say the same with respect to that raos! important and influential body of Protestant dissenters who have shown, great indisposition to avail themselves of themselves of the education provided by Trinity College. But what do we find We find that the provinces of Ulster; Mnnstor, and Con-naught have each of them a collegethere is one at Belfast, Corli, and Galway and the rolls.of these colleges show that the peculiar influence of each college is almost entirely limited to the immediate distriot in which the college is situated. While, therefore, Ulster, MnnSer, and Connaught have eacbjt college, the metropolitan province of Leinster, ani the capital city of Ireland, are entirely unprovided; with those, academic advantages which the youth of Ireland justly and properly claim (hear, hear). This should not be so (hearj hear).

We should not bave metropolitan of Leinster and the richest city in Ireland, uniting in that province the most influential Roman Catholics that can be found in Ireland uniting also, that most important body, the Wesleyau communion, entirely deprived, as the rolls of the colleges show they are, of the advantages of the academic instruction afforded by those institutions. It strikes me, ladies and gentlemen, that that is a point requiring the consideration of her Ma present month. In that most short period we have 1 jst jtoatwea wdott nnMemisheeV rectitude of For-.
