The chapel is a model in its way. It is tastefully ceiled and the floor boarded. It contains a neat altar, surmounted by iu appropriate Crucifixion (the gift of John Carroll, Earlsrath), also a confessional and sacristy. Tbe Rosary is recited every evening- Tbe chapel is entirely separated from tbe dining hall, and is in every way most creditable to tbe taste and religious feeling of tbe chairman and guardians. We understand the entire cost was only 40 but, with the exception of a little painting, it will last as long is the bouse lasts.

Behold what a solace such a place is for the old and feeble especially, where they can attend to tbeir devotions in comparative comfort before the altar of God. The land is well cropped. It contains oats (sold on foot for 16), potatoes, turnips, parsnips, onions, cabbages, bay, grass, Ac In short tbe management of tbe whole establishment reflects much credit on the master and matron.

The day the great day for aqnatic sports on onr iblest of rivers has come and gone, but the recollection of amusements presented to thousands who came from a hundred miles aronnd.will long lire green in their memory. We anticipated a success, it is true, from the great labor bestowed in a careful preparation by the stewards and their honorary officials, but we are glad to own that our expectations were not ot all exalted aboTe the reality.

The weather, wbkh looked niorky and threatening all Sunday and early on Monday morning, put on its brightest and best looks to. wards noon, and like the vast number of spectators who crowded onr city for fair and fun, kept on its holiday attire to the clcwo. The Watcrford regatta" was a bright spot in the pleasures of hope" in which our frionds up the country had long indulged as the next gala day in the brief history of their existence, and, a' a consequence, the trains which arrived in the forenoon, "'iio ti KiTiug up ne race, a ne owauow, which ws gr.nln illy gaining ground the whole course, now took an immenw lead, and round, the Cove Mag-boat sixty lengths ahead of the second boat Vibilia, Secret third.

The second place was contested for determinedly hy the other two, who, at the bridge buoy, fouled, which gave the Lotus a great lead, and the Flirt improved her positiou immediately after the tnrn.

The owner of the Lily objected to the race, and whilst deciding on giving the Fenian the 1 prize, the stewards expressed their willingness to contribute 2 towards a match between tbem, which we believe will come off. The money prizes of the second class wherrv race remaining on hands, the stewards resolved on having another cot race-first prize, 1, second 1K for which there was an excellent paddle and capital fun.

the first cot being Uarner's. and the second Delahunty's. This concluded the evening's sport, at about half-pat seven, when the vast multitude Mn.irutnl in the most orderly and decoming manner, showing bow well the people can appreciate rational and healthful amusement. We cannot conclude without again asserting, that the public are indebted to the stewards, but in an especial manner to Mr. S.

Jones, treasurer, and Mr. William Cherry, secretary, for the irksome and laborious duties they undertook to procure the amusements and to carry tbem to a satisfactory issue. CARRICK-0N-SU1R REGATTA. The preparations for this regatta, to come off on Monday and Tuesday, the 21st and 22nd are now nearly ompkttd, and there is a good prospect of most successful sport.

Tbe stewards number amongst tbem gentlemen whose names are a suiHcicut guarantee of success and fair dealing with all competitors. SALE OF SHOUT-HORN CATTLE. The loth of August has been fixed ou by Mr.

Bloomficld, J.P for the sale of his herd of short-horns at Ncwpark, near this city, which must prove attractive to the numlier of visitors, in addition to the residents, whom tho Agricultural Society show at Clonmel will attract to this neighbourhood. The catalogue comprises 30 cows and heifers with, snd 12 without, pedigrees; 7 bdll calves with, and two without, pedigrees; horses ind some pigs. Tbe bulla recently used at ncwpark nave been chiefly tbe Anight of Windsor bred by Mr. Chalouer, and Volunteer bred by Mr. lynte, both bulls being of tbe best Booth blood.

Among the young stock we oliserve the produce of tbat capital cow Bluebell, with which Mr. Blootnfield wrs so uniformly successful wherever he showed her, whether at Royal meetings, Dublin spring shows, or local exhibitions. There are other promising things in the catalogue, particularly among the young stock, which deserve ittcution. A Gkeat Benefactor or the IIcxa Raci. On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, as Constable Mercer was on duty, keeping vigil watch over the peace of this good old city, that active little official was accosted in Michael-street by a well-dressed countryman, with reaping book in hand, who asked where he could procure a lodging, and on being guided to that haven of safety, the pedestrian became so com.

municative as to cause tbe constable to be inquisitive. He nformeu Mercer that if be would wish to be very handsomely rewarded, be should write to tbe Queen to let her know he was here, as she would be most anxious to know where he was, ho being married to her, and would pay largely for the information. Ho next announced that he was the creator of tbe world, and by bis power alone the American war bad ceased, as he had obeyed the message of angels, and with tbem flew over and terminated tbe struggle it was be, too, had killed Lucifer for the erratic doctrine be had preached, and had destroyed Sampson because he was too powerful to let live and his mission over the earth was to destroy all men and things wicked. Tbe constable, with the acuteness which be ever evinces in the discharge of bis public duty, saw that the poor fellow was not a fit person to be at large, and accordingly took him into safe keeping for the night, placing bim in a room by himself at the station. At the Police Court, on yesterday, the wanderer indulged in the same hal lucination, adding tbat bis name was blessed Mtcbael Tobin, from Garryrone, county Tipperary, and that his mission was to save the world.

All his relations, he said, are in Newfoundland, except two cousins, who ire it work it Mr. ennelly Garryrone. The magistrates directed a medical examination into bis state of mind, and seut bim to lock-up for the purpose of having tbe dispensary medical officer's opinion, but here a disputed point was again brought out prominently. Jr. l.yan, who is well known amongst the poor as a kind-hearted, attentive, aud skilful medical officer, on bearing from the police the nature of tbe case, and acting on the counsel of the Poor-law Commissioners, said be was prepared to go and give medical advice ind ss-istauce if re quired, but not to give a certificate or evidence for the magistrates guidance without being paid the usual fee of a medical gentleman, and as the magistrates say they have no funds for that purpose, the case so rests until decided before an authorised tribunal.

A vert Mxlacuoli Case. One day last week, five young ntlcmeu, well known in Dublin, hired a four-oared gig at Ringsend for the purpose of rowing to Kingstown, and since tbat day neither boat nor crew have been beard of. The names of tbe missing gentlemen are icbiel L- Ryan, of tbe National Bank; John Mulcaby, also of the National Anthony Brown, of the Ballast Office Mr. Turner. 0f Boyle and Pim aud a Mr.

Fitzgerald. Various have boen tbe conjectu res as to their fate, but is tbe weather was then unsettled, it is probable the boat was swamped, and all were mercilessly and hopelessly consigned to the ara. All doubt as to their fate has been set at rest by the discovery of one of the bodies, that of Mr. Michael Ryan, which was picked np floating by tbe keeper of the Poolbcg Lighthouse on WcOuesday last. tie body was greatly disfigured and swollen.

The forehead bears very strong marks of having been violently thrown against the rocks. Tbe only clothes found on the remains are the boots and socks, a flannel trowsers, and blue flannel shirt, which the direased was accustomed to wrar on his frequent boating excursions. It is believed that Mr. Ryan stripped to have a swim for his hie when danger appeared almost certain. He and his unfortunate companions, with the exception of Mr.

Brown, were ill expert swimmers. Cork Aoriccltcral Societt. At the annual show of this society, just held, the prize for two year old bulls wa, won by Ttlix, bred by John II.

Ilt-iinrssy, cleik of the union, who, before the summer reccs-, had promised a paper on the subjiYt of utilizing pauper lanonr, real the following interesting and masicriy ctilizatiox OP PAUPUt LABOUR Is the subject which I propose to introduce an intruder upon the province of Literature and Debate," or can it claim legitimately the rights of citizenship therein i 1 ven lure to think it can. I denend for the rorrertness of tnv jndgmcnt on that half of our style which proclaims us a uroaiing socieiy. iiur choice ol bating ground is limited ia two directions in a third, the only limit is the requirements of a member of society, and they are boundless. Of the three systems into which moving life divides itself the religious, the political, and the social two are wisely excluded by our rule, while it throws open to discussion the third, that is local government, with all the plans, and reforms, and theories that enter into the life mil economy oi me community. Are not these, all and several, entitled to consideration in their degree With some of us Ill's society is a place to study the parts we shall hare to perform as good citizens.

witn outers a place to interchange exnennnces, with all place to learn something. And we have beeu learning, I hope with enect, learning our duties in relation to sauitary reform, which is one great phase of the social question-amelioration of the condition of the poor: We have duties towards the poor and duties towards ourselves. We have to diminish tbe sum of human sufferings and to diminish, if possitiie, another sum, tbe sum we have to pay in poor rates. I ssy if possible," and this is what I propose to discuss for the reconciling of these two duties, the harmonising of the interests of poor and rich, without prejndico to cither, has been a problem with thinking men everywhere, and nowhere more than in Watcrford. 1 here are two classes ot dfstitnte noor to be snnnorted out of the abundance of the more fortunate, thoso physically incapable of earning tbeir livelihood, and those who cannot procure employment.

Both must be supported but the support which carties no reproach with it when exteuJcd to the one class, ought to be regarded as degrading to the other. Jtcnce good men have asked, wbr should not workhouses instead of maintaining the strong man in idleness give bim employment instead of doling him a beggar a alms, allow him or make him contribute by his own iudustry to bis own maintenance wbr not utilize his labour and render him (and by that means the workhouse) as nearly as possible self supporting All who have sympathy with human nature, who would not willingly see destitution destitute of tho respectability, self.respect, and manliness of the unfortunate, would rejoice to believe that a provision might be msdo in workhouses whicb would not entail snch moral evils as are the consequences of eleemosynary relief to an able bodied man. And every ratepayer would be interested in such a provision, to the extent of the difference between a man's supporting him-self and being gratuitously supported. It was at one time believed that this could he done, and it was laid as charge against the workhouse system that money was wilfully wasted on the support of men whose labour, if turned to account, would bear tbe expense of their maintenance. But this popular belief, Mr.

O'linen, poor law inspector, does not hesitate to designate one of the greatest delusions that can possibly be conceived." And a slight examination of the facts of the case will bear out his decision. We shall have to view them directly only in relation to the question of expense. In the first place the number of the able bodied must be regarded comparatively and relatively, that is in comparison with the number of other classes, and in relation lo the circumstances of large institutions of the nature of workhouses, which absorb for their own administration most of the labour power available. Consider the number that go to constitute the menial and hospital services, and the whole machinery of the internal management make allowance for those demoralized before they make acquaintance with workhouses and whose inveterate habits of idleness have brought thum there, and who, impervious to tbe influences of discipline, can never be manufactured into useful, industrious men. The residue available for industrial employment would be but a small fraction of the able bodied men, and these still smaller traction of the inmates of all classes.

To show this more clearly I will read for you a statement which I submitted to the board of guardians of this union, on the 21st July, 1S63 40 per cent of the inmates are under medical treatment 19 per cent children under 15 years of age 15 per cent old and infirm men and women 6 per cent taking care of the sick 5 per cent taking care of the infants 1 per cent officers' servants, so that only 14 per cent are available, whose labour," as Mr. O'Brien says, could, under any circumstances, he expected to prove a source of material profit to he union," and if you deduct from this the numbers employed in tbe domestic administration of tbe house, the per rentage will be considerably reduced reduced to 7 per cent. Having shown yon tbat it is chimerical to hope, in the present state of the law, for direct material profit from tbe labour of the able-bodied paupers a large section of whom are impervious to the moral influence of wholesome discipline 1 proceed to offer a few suggestions as to the best mode of remedying this evil. 1st A change in the law, authorising the guardians to give to the paupers a certain per centage of the profits on tbe work done. 2nd Able-bodied men should not be admitted at all into ins workhouse, but on presenting themselves for relief they should be assigned a task of work, on tbe comnletion of which they should receive payment in money equivalent to two-thirds of its estimated valne; and the work should be such as the guardians could dispose of.

Stone bieaking is the only species of manual labour which presents itself to my mind aa auordiug employment to this class, and as there is a ready market for broken stones the gnardians could at ill times sell tbem it a profit. This plan would relieve the really destitute, and as the full valne of their labour wonld not be paid, it would not attract those disposed to work for iiveiiuoou outside it would add to the self-respect of the pplicants. and it would. Iam convinced. reliev thAmt.

payers of this union to the extent of at least 2J0 a year. 3rd The able-bodied and even tbe infirm women should, in the absence of other industrial work, be emnlovol knittiiur stockings, any number of which could be disposed of st a profit of threepence a pair at least. If half of this amount could be set aside and given to the inmates when leaving the house, it would stimulate them to active cxertiou, so much so, that I am certain the guardians would realize a profit of a year on tue sate ot tnese articles, besides getting rid ultimately of many of this class, who would leave tbe work, house when tbeir savings would amount to a few pounds. vHiiug, viiivu uui uu sue vaoio principle, would be even more remunerative, as many of tbe bova aud eirls cnnl.l employed, in addition to some of the men and women. easing, under proper supervision, would save at least 3iiO a year to the ratepayers it would be of permanent advantage loth to the onion and to tbe children, as it would, in a short time, enable them to leave tbe house, and obtain a subsistence outside.

This system of making the inmate contribute to his own maintenance has been extensively and successfully applied in convict prisons throughout France and other parts of the Continent, as well as in America, where the idea was first conceived. It is receiving considerable attention in Great Britain, and in evidence of the effect of remunerative labour either convict labour or pauper labour, in promoting the moral welfare, as well as diminishing the cost of maintaining the labourer, be he convict or pauper the following fact is worm knowing in a report (1 quote from a pamphlet on prison labour) lately made to the French Legislature by aionsieur ne states, that under tbe benehcent in nuences of the new system the number of prisoners had diminished by half." Such a consummation in workhouse reform is dcvontlv to be wished fcr, but having due regard to the disproportionate uisiriuuiiou oi duic-oouicu in me two systems, we cannot, prudently, entertain an expectation of such an important reduction in the number oi our nauners still, as we have shown, a little good might be effected, and that little is worth the trial where such advantages, moral and material, are at stake. J. C. P.S.

There is one consideration that claims to be especi ally regarded in determining the nature and extent of tbe industrial employment of paupers and this is respect for the right and interests of such classes outside as may be engaged in those branches of industry proposed lo be followed witbin the workhouse. Hence, weaving could not be extended beyond the demands of the workhouse itself, that traders these ratepayers too may not be interfered with and Vie same principle of non-intervention must be observed towsrds every other species of industry. Ibe Chairman, Messrs. liowling. ullivan, Kran and Sexton having expressed themselves in laudatory terms of the paper, its importance and treatment, a vote ot thanks was passed to Mi.

Hennessy, and it was ordered that it be printed tor circulition in pamphlet form. Air. bexton followed with an eloquent notice of the life of Thomas Condon the Cork poet, and a critical review of his poetry, the justness and truth of which elicited the marked thanks ol the meeting for luring rescued the memory of so gifted and neglected a child of genius from an obscurity so great as to have concealed all knowledge of Ins exiatence Irons the majority of the audience. -nr. aniward concluded the proceedings of the evening by reading two pieces of original nootrv.

A tender was also read from Mr. Michael Dunn, Kilinnethomas, for tea at Is. Cd. per lb, Mr. Qucaly thought the best article of tea was the cheapest.

The Chairman called on the clerk, who, he said, was a judge, to decide which sample was the best. The Clerk then carefully examined the samples, and gave as his opinion that Mr. Dunn's was the best. Capt. Palliscr, Mr.

T. Hunt, Mr. W. Power, and nearly all the other guardians agreed with him in opinion. Mr.

The Clerk said he had, some time since, received the following letter from the commissioners, and which he thought it well to read again as there was so large a board in attendance Poor Law Commission Office, June 23, 1805. Sir The commissioners have nirain had before them replies to their enquiries relativo to Mr. Edmond Dee, who has been elected by tbe board of guardians to the office of relieving office in Kilmacthomas union and in reference thereto the commissioners desire to state that they feel some difficulty in giving their approval to this appointment under the 4th section of the 10th Vic, cap. 31, as it appears Mr. uoe nas not taken np bis residence permanently in the village of Kill, as required by the guardians, but still resides in Kilmacthomas, in the house where the business of nublican.

If, however, Mr. Dee will undertake reside per manently at hill, and to cease to reside with any member of his family engaged in the sale of beer or snirituous liouor of any kind, and if, npoa reconsideration, the guardians are still of opinion that Mr. Dee is not too far advanced in years for any active and efficient discharge of the duties of relieving officer, the commissioners will be prepared to approve the appointment.

Stafferd The question is, are you prepared to sanction his appointment Mr. Power lliere are many older relieving offi cers than Dee (hear). Capt. Pallisser thought Dee had unnecessarily given more ont-door relief than he need have given, and more man uis preucccssor nau. -Mr.

1. Power said his district was a large and poor one, it included the mines. Mr. Power If tho guardians from tho district ask Dee to give it, as they have done, how can he refuse it i A Guardian said some persons got the relief who could do without it- Mr. Stafford thought that vcrv muck tbe fault of the guardian from the division.

Mianauan said it would be liferent for the future, as the new potatoes were coming in, when the poor would have the advantage of them. The Chairman If out-door relief be given properly it is more to our advantage than disadvantage, as boys can be properly reared to work outside and not reared in the bouse in idleness (hear, hear). Sir. 1, Hunt spoke highly of sir. Lcnihan as a relieving officer.

Mr. Dee said he now resided and slept in Kill, and that he bad, in giving out-doot relief, only complied with the wants of the poor, and the instructions of Capt Ham ilton, the inspector. Chairman (to Mr. Walsh) Is any one on your division receiving out-door relief air. Wiilsh ao; 1 against out-uoor relief altogothcr.

Chairman Are you, gentlemen, going to give Dee another trial Mr. T. Power said he would move that tho commissioners be requested to sanction tho appointment of Dee, as relieving officer for the south district, as he had complied with the requirements set forth in their letter. After some further discussion on the subject, Mr. T.

Hunt moved a formal resolution in substance same as the suggestion of Mr. Power, which passed unanimously. TESTIMONIAL TO THE CLEBK, The routiuo business of the board having been concluded, The Clerk expressed his most grateful thanks to the enar- ians for their kindness in attending at this vcrv bnsv time of the year, for tbe purpose of giving him a testimonial. He had received soma encouragement to look for the clerkship of tbe Cork union the salary was a tempting one, but at same time if appointed he should express his regret at severing his connexion with the guardians ot this union, who for 15 years, have boc-iio with him, anUm whom he has experienced many of kindne. hear).

He then uiw, wiiuuiuuniutiv letter from 'hf A. Power, P.P. All Saints, Angus? 8, 1803. Having learned tbat Mr. Wm.

Hunt, clerk of the Kil macthomas union, is atiout becoming a candidate for the clerkship of a larger ajd more important nnion, I deem it right to state that as chaplain of the Kilmacthomas workhouse I have had many opportunities of noticing how attentive he has been to tbe duties of his office, and how faithfully uc lias laoorcu to promote ine interests 01 tue union. On a late occasion when the guardians found it diffi cult to get a respectable contractor to undertake the fitting up oi a separate cuapei tor tue uainouc inmates ot the work house, and had to let the work in pieces to small contractors, Mr. Hant, although a Protestant, very kindly undertook the management and superintendence of the whole, and under his care the work was executed in an excellent and substantial manner, and I should not omit to add, with a strict regard to ecooomr. Perhaps in no poor law nniou in the kingdom is there less sectarian strife than in the Kilmacthomas union. There Protestant and Catholic guardians woik harmoniously together for tbe common good and to this happy state of things it gives me great pleasure to say Mr.

Hunt has, in no small degree, contributed by his affable, obliging, and con -cilialiog mauner. Roger Power, P.P." Mr. Stafford then rose to nronose the following- vote rf thinks to Mr. Hunt, every line of which, he believed, he richly deserved. If any gentleman wished to add anything to it he (Mr.

would be most happy to do so. Mr. Stafford then read the resolution, which was very warmly receivcu Rttoleed That this hoard has much nleasure in holdinrr a special meeting, for the purpose of giving tlieir clerk, Mr. Wm. Hunt, a tcstimonal, as he intends applying for the clerkship ol the Cork union.

Although the guardians would regret very mucli losing tbe services of Mr. Hunt, still they feel anxious to do all in their power to promote his welfare. Mr. Hunt hss beeu clerk of this nnion since its formation, during which time he has discharged his duties with the gi eat est possible satisfaction to tbe guardians and ratepayers. vu wie luriuauuu oi mis uuion, it was in connection witn two other unions, and continued so for a considerable time, until the workhouse was built, and although Mr.

Hunt commenced his duties with very little experience, still, from his great perseverance and application, tbe affairs of three unions were ultimately brought to a most satisfactory conclusion, and although this union at that period had many difficulties to contend with, and a large debt to clear off, still, owing to tuo care anu uiugenos anu excellent juugmeni or our clerk, all those difficulties were overcome. The union is now, and has been for many years past, in a most satisfactory financial position rates are very moderate the officers of the uuion are working harmoniously together, aud the entire union aud workhouse establishment is in a most satisfactory condition. Iu recommending Mr. Hunt to the notice of the guar dians of the Cork uuion, this board has ino hesitation it stating, that if appointed to that importont nnion, he will bring with him great experience, diligence and perseverance, strict integrity, courteous and gentleman-like in bis manner and disposition, and a thorough anxiety to promote the interests of the union in bis charge. As rcturniug officer, Mr.

Hunt has discharged bis duties with strict impartiality, and bas, at 11 times, given tbe greatest possible satisfaction to tbe public in the discharge of those duties. In conclusion, the guardians ol this union wish Mr. Hunt every success, aud only regret that the small area of the union would not warrant them in giviug him a larger salary, so as to permanently secure his services." Mr. bbauaban said Mr. liunt nchly deserved every word in that resolution and for his part he wis sorry it could not be made stronger (heir, hear).

The bairman also expressed his pleasure at Mr. Hunt's conduct, and said that the moderate rates of the uniou were very much owing to Mr. Hunt's judicious management is clerk (hear, hear). Mr. 1.

Power felt great pleasure in seconding the motion, and said that as a guardian at the formation of tbo union as well is now, be could bear out the very Mattering letter ot the Kev.

IMPORTANT TO MEDICAL OFFICERS. A lengthened correspondence which had taken place between tbe commissioners and Dr. W. Briscoe, medical ofheer of the Whitechurcb district, was sub mitted and read. It appeared that a workman on board the schooner John became suddenly aud seriously ill at Fiddown, where after her passage from Encland the vessel was discharging.

This fnct came within the cognizance of Mr. Hamilton, P.L.I, who sent the relieving officer to visit the man and directed him further lo send for Dr. Briscoe, that the sufferer might be at once attended to. The doctor did not attend until the following morning, and the man in the meantime had died on the way to the hospital at Carrick-on-Suir. This circumstance was reported by Mr.

Hamilton to the commissioners, who at once called on Dr. Briscoe for an explanation, which lie gave as follows In answer to the commissioners, I beg to state that I came up to tbe relieving officer on my road home, who stated to me the case of the man in question and as the vessel was to put to sea in the morning, the captain was anxious to have the man removed. 11c stated also that tho ship was at the other side of the river. I said I did not consider it my duty to visit him there, but would see to it, and asked bim how I was to get to the ship, as it was now getting dark, a quarter lo eight o'clock. He said I mutt had the ship for a boat, I had been in attendance on the Kev Charles llarte all the nrevinns niiht.

suffering from IllBimatlou of the prostrate gland, and turned up to my own house to change my things, when a messenger from Mr. Harte galloped up, saying I was required in all haste, as his master was desperately swollen, ml Hrino-. I at once went lo Mr. Harte's, where I was obliged to remain the night, as be was suffering from retention of the urine and constant spasms, requiring increased attention, not considering it safe to leave him. As soon as I ennlil 1 went to Fiddown.

where I arrived at eight in the morning, aud found that the man had been sent the previous evening, in a boat, to Carrick-on-Suir. I was not aware that private patient, in imminent peril, should he left for a dispensary patient, till I heard tho coroner had laid down such as the law I have, 4c, W. Briscoe, "llcdical uinccr, ivunecuuicu. "July 8th, 1805." The commissioners wrote that they cannot accept the explanation as satisfactory, and add The Commissioners are iniormcii oy ineir inspector, air. W.

Hamilton, that the schooner on board which the patient lay, when you were called upon to attend the case, was with, in the boundarv of vonr dispensary district, and the commis sioners are of opinion that you would hare better discharged your duty, under the urgent circumstances of the case, if Jon had at once visited the patient, althongh he might not avo been strictly within your district. The commissioners would havo received your statement respecting your attendance npon the Rev. Mr. Harte as satisfactory, if tbe application to visit him had been before the application of tbe relieving officer on behalf of the man John Lewis, but the commissioners have to remark, that you bad declined to visit tbe latter case, before you were called upon to visit Mr. Harte.

Ky order, 11. haxes Chiei Clerk. Dr. Briscoe seam wrote, July 21, insisting that the vessel was, at the time, in another district, and be was told so bv the relieving officer. The commis sioners reply, regretting that the doctor demurred to i the censure, nnd continue It appears from reference to the ordnance map that the patient in question when you declined to attend was within your district, and that you were therefore guilty of a distinct neglect of the duty imposed upon you by the medical charities act.

But the commissioners must repeat, under all the circumstances of the case the hie of a human being being in extreme danger, which might possibly have been saved by immediate medical aid, and the certainty of loss of precious time in seeking other advice at a distance that you would have acted more humanely if you had at once gone to the vessel, although you had been certain she- lay some yards beyond the boundary line of your district, which, however, was not the case, according to the information before the commissioners.

There were not many admissions to-day. In reply to a guatdian the clerk stated that the outdoor reliel now amounts to 24 Cs. 7d. per week. Mr.

Jacob said it was formerly 33 or 31 per week. The Clerk said it was only 18 this time twelve months. Mr. O'Shea stated that there were more persons in the house then Mr. Redmond said the true way to make permanent paupers is to get the poor into the house.

Capt. Dillon thought out-door relief was, on the whole, a bad system. The Chairman said a rate-in-aid in favor of low wages was the worst kind of relief. A conversation then turned on the bakery of the house, when Mr. Jacob, Mr.

Hassard, and Aid. Ryan thought the bread supplied "to the Fanning's Institute was better and cheaper than that baked in the union. Mr. Redmond believed that impossible, as the guardians could buy their flour in the best market for ready money, paid no rent for their premises, and had most of their labour for nothing. Capt.

Power suggested the propriety of doing away with the bakery of the union. The Chairman said that could not at present be properly done, as the matter was now only casually spoken of. The Master reported a robbery of 2s. worth of wearing apparel from the workhouse hospital. He said the police had the matter in hand.

He (master) was not sure but the articles were mislaid, and would turn up again. Capt. lion, Aid. Ryan, Capt, Power, nnd Mr. Curran Jight "ie matter ought to be investigated at one- vhilst Dr.

Mackesy, Mr. Hassard, the chairn07t.fr. O'Shea, and Mr. Redmond suggested the priu, of wailing for next meeting till the police i 1 have prosecuted their enquiries and the master inade further searches. The question was therefore postponed for a week.

REPORT OF GUARDIAN. I have rone through the house generally, and it evinces the usual clean and oaderly aspect. As far as can be judged bv their annea ranee and questioning them, the inmates an. pear well cared for, and do not make any complaiut. 1 think it would be an improvement to have tbe hospital food cooked in tbe general kitchen, more economical and less liable to any abuse a grate and boiler are all that would be requisite; for these there are flues.

Some arrangement would be necessary to have tbe cooked food regularly conveyed from the kitcken to the hospital. The master proposes to take the blind boy whom we agreed to send to tho Glas-nevin Asylum up to Dublin, as there is now a vacancy for him, and at the same time is desirous of the North Dublin Union, whore the cooking arrangements are very complete, and thinks that he would derive advantage from a visit there. The number clrssrd as able bodied males are now under twenty; of there ten are hoys of seventeen or under having trades, five other boys are employed on the grounds, and there are some two or three old people nnable for such labour, though not exactly of the infirm class. The number of children in both schools is considerably re duced, nearly all tbe elder children having been taken away to service, T. W.

Jacob." The suggestions of Mr. Jacob were unanimously agreed to. ilie Master was directed to take up a blind boy, now in the house, to the blind asylum in Dublin. Three fine boys were selected for the navv. Thev are immediately to proceed to Qucenstown for that purpose.

THE CLERK OF THE UNION. Mr. Redmond said be had a motion to bring for ward, iney were an aware tnat tneir clerk was about seeking promotion in the Cork union, and he (Mr. was quite sure that the Waterford guardians, who were always kind to their officers, wonld not only be glad of it, but help him with their kind expression of opinion (hear). Mr.

Hennessy had an increasing young family, and as ins labor was his only property, he was right in trying to make the most of it. The salary in Cork was very much larger than that in Waterford, and he therefore hoped that their clerk would be the winning man. That he was a first class hand nearly every one admitted. It was only the other day in going up to Kilkenny, Mr. J.

A. Blake, M.P., stated to him (Mr. that Sir Robert Peel, who had some correspon dence with their clerk relative to the poor law superannuation question, mentioned to him (Mr. Blake) that Mr. Hennessy was one ol the cleverest and most intelligent clerks in Ireland (hear, hear).

From such a man as air K. reel that was no small compliment (hear). He (Mr. had known Mr. Hennessy in Lismore, some years before he came to Waterford.

and that was one of the reasons whv he took the liberty of proposing the resolution, which, he trusted, would be carried unanimously. He did not even ask a seconder Mr. J. C. Hennessy having applied to us for a testi.

monal, we resolve That Mr. Hennessy, by bis assiduous attention to the duties of bis office, his efficient and valuable services, and tbe uuiform courtesy of bis demeanor, has entitled himself to the highest testimonial this board can offer. That it gritirying to reel situned by experience that Mr. Hennessy, in industry, business capability, and energy, will beat out any recommendation of this board, however laudatory, as faithfully as he his sustained the unusually high reputation which he brought with him to this nnion. "That this board have the highest respect for Mr.

Hennessy's abilities and intelligence, and the utmost confi dence in his integrity aud bis knowledge of all tbe details of his office. That the complete and intimate knowledge of all the acts of parliament bearing on the poor laws, aud of the regulations of the poor law commissioners, which Mr, Uennessv is universally admitted to possess, is of tbe highest utility to those concerned in the. administration of a large and im-nortant union. That while bis departure would be viewed with regret, there is entertained by this board a particular interest in bis welfare, and a pride in bis advancement. "That this board have great pleasure in assuring aim that ha baa been comnletebr successful in winninv for self tha respect, esteem, and coostdenos of tha gMrtbuis, individually and collectively and that thev are fnlhr suaded he will not fail to endear himself equally to tha -v guaraiaua muwu, mj nuua conuaiiy ana sin earrelv desired, for his own sake, tbat he mav he nwhl The Chairman said he agreed with the substanoa of thaissciwtwo.
