      Ireland. Mil. Edmond O'Flahercpy.—A Curi...

      account of the rebelliousness of the two first , and , with respect to the last , as an exhibition , of " impartiality / ' the Telegraph having alwayB been a zealous supporter of ecclesiastical authority . Since this act of expulsion , the Tablet lias changed hands , the new editor and proprietor being a Mr . John E . Wallis—an Eng lishman , it is said , and one of the Oxford converts . Air Evicting ^ iandlord defeated . — The ejectments brought by Mr . Allen Pollock , the purchaser of a property in the county of Gtelway , against his

      tenantry on the Cregg estate , have been a second time defeated owing to legal informalities . The number of individuals whom these ejectments would throw upon the world is 2 , 700 . Mr . Pollock is a Scotch gentleman , who purchased the Cregg estate and other Irish properties in the Encurnbered Estates Court ; and his object is Btated ^ to be to change the position of his tenantry from tlat of land occupiers to that of day labourers , he himself opening a large market for labour .

      Suicide of an English Engineer in Irexand . — Mi-. Frederick D . Mansfield , of London , an engineer employed at the Bandon railway , has committed suicide . It seems that he made an ineffectual attempt to hang himself some time previously . He had been suffering for a long while from a violent headache and inability to sleep , which he attributed to the distressed state of his mind . ^ Tiie 'Weatheb and the Crops . — The weather continues uninterruptedly favourable for the agriculturist , and a greater breadth of land has been placed tinder cultivation than was ever the case at tltis period of the season in former years .

      __ The Catholic University . —The total subscriptions towards the funds of the University in St . Stephen ' s-green , collected since the month of January , amount to £ 61 , 710 . A church in connexion with the College is about to ^ be erected on a scale of magnificence never before attempted in Ireland . In accordance with Dr . Newman ' s wish , the building is to be in a style of architecture almost unknown on this side of the Alps—an Italian basilica . The walls are to be encrusted with Irish marbles of various hues , and with , mosiae paintings , ahove which large subjects in encaustic are already being prepared from the works of the early masters in the studios of Rome . Preparations are also in progress , and at great expense , for the musical part of the administration , and a Dublin ecclesiastic of great experience is understood to be engaged in the necessary arrangements for the selection of a choir of first-class excellence .

      A Mtjrder 3 ? or the Honour of St . Patrick . — A . fair held at Ballyeonnell , Cavan , on St . Patrick's Day , was attended by those scenes of drunken brutality common to Irish festivities ; and a man , named John G-allaher , was killed . He observed some ruffians beating a boy , when he begged them to desist ' , on which , they turned on him , and , with short sticks loaded with lead , beat his skull in . It is thought that the boy also will die . Some men have been arrested on suspicion . Archbishop Cuxlen ' s IFrankinoense to' the

      French Emperor . —A Te Deum was performed last Sunday at the Roman Catholic metropolitan church , Dublin , in thanksgiving for the birth of an heir to the French Emperor . Archbishop Cullen presided , and abundantly exalted Napoleon for having " restored peace and order to " a long distracted country , conferred the greatest benefits on religion , " aud restored the Pope . The Empress is also praised for her charity and piety ; and the French are described as being " branches of the same mystic vine" as that to which the Irish belong . The Irish

      Jcd & es . —Addresses continue to pour in upon the three judges whobe capacity for the discharge of their duties was lately questioned in the House of Commons by Sir John Shelley . The latest manifestation that ha . B appeared iu print is one from the Mayor and corporation of Londonderry to Boron Pennefather and Mr . Justice Torrons . The Encumbered Estates Commission . —A notice was issued on Monday by the Encumbered Estates Court , announcing that no further postings for sales of estates would be signed by the Commissioners after Thursday , the 26 th day of June next . The arrears of business , however , which still remain to bo disposed of must neoessarily occupy a great doal of t ime , and it is very probable that a vneit addition will be made to the business before the end of the ensuing month . °

      . America. Thp News From The Othor Side ...

      . AMERICA . THp news from the othor side of the Atlantic this week is extremely moixgro . In tb . o Sonnto , on tho 10 th inst ., the bill appropriating 3 , 000 , 000 dollars for increasing the armament and munitions of war , and for fclie manufacture- aud alteration of anna , ii * aooordance with the rooont reoomm . endafei . on of the Protudent was ordorod to bo eugrossod for a third roadiuir by a vote of 22 against 12 . According to dooumontu submitted to tho Sonato on tho lOlU inot ., tho instructions to Commodoro M'Oftulay , commander of tho United Stated home squadron , issued in April loat , after the Spaubh mguto Forroluna had ( hod into tho Uiiitod Btaton

      steamer Eldorado , were to the effect that , in case of a similar outrage committed on a vessel lightly bearing the United States' flag , he must promptly interpose and resist the exercise of the assumed right of visitation , and repel the interference by force . The Executive takes the ground that the conduct of the authorities of Cuba , in hailing and searching American vessels , cannot rest on the plea of territorial jurisdiction over the high seas in tie vicinity of the island of Cuba , as the United States' Government denies the existence of any state of facts to warrant the exercise of belligerent rights . A resolution directing tie Committee on Foreign Affairs to consider the expediency of reporting a bill effectually abrogating the treaty with Denmark , and repudiating the payment of the Sound dues , was adopted in the Senate on the 7 th inst .

      A bill in the Kentucky Legislature , to establish a patrol on the Ohio river , to prevent the escape of slaves , has been referred to a special committee- Mr . Nuttall advocated the bill . He said 100 , 000 dollars ' worth of slave property had escaped from the border counties since Christmas . A Dutch fleet has arrived at La Guayra , it is said , to demand indemnity from the Venezuelan Government for demands of Dutch merchants whose houses

      were sacked and whose persons were maltreated last year by the populace of the city of Coro . Advices from Hayti of February 26 th , state that the Emperor Faustin returned to the capital on the 14 th , and immediately issued a proclamation to the effect that he had been , obliged to " retrace his steps for a time . " From Japan , via California , we hear that the city of J eddo was destroyed by an earthquake on the 12 th of November . 100 , 000 houses were in ruins , and 30 , 000 lives had been lost .

      The Orient. Pebsia. There Is Some Prospe...

      THE ORIENT . PEBSIA . There is some prospect of Russia mediating between England and Persia , if we may credit a statement in a letter from St . Petersburg , the writer of which says —" Colonel Barfcolomei— -who was sent by General Mouravieff to the Shah of Persia > in company with the Ambassador charged to announce to the Persian Prince the accession of the . Emperor to the thronehas returned here from Teheran , by Tiflis , wlere he stayed some time . He has been received by the Emperor . According to this , officer ,. Persia is in such a state of disorganisation that it cannot in any way be relied upon , and there only remains to urge it to the promptest possible reconciliation with England . "

      ABYSSINIA . The new Emperor of Abyssinia , Theodosia . ! ,. said to entertain vast projects of conquest . He has already taken possession of the territory of Hurrua , near his states , and has given the government of thai province to an Englishman named Bell , who has long been iu his service . INDIA . Le Nord denounces the annexation of Oude as an abominable spoliation , attempted to be justified by " lying pretext . "

      Dost Mohammed , the DLhan-Serdah of Caboul , has , it is said , taken possession of the province of Kandahar . Persian troops are marching against him .

      Continental Notes. France. The Moniteur ...

      CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE . The Moniteur publishes the official documents relative to the birth of the Imperial Prince . The letter to M . Achille Fould is as follows : — " M . Acbille Fould , Ministsvof State , —As the Empress , our much beloved spouse , ia . approaohing her confinement , wo have ordained that , aa soon aa slio feels the first pains , you Bhall be apprised thereof , to proceed to the Palace of tho Tuilerics to tho room appointed for you , that you may be introduced into tho chamber of the Empress at tho mom "ut of her delivery . Our wish is that , with the aid of the President of our Council of Stato , yoxi

      may draw up tho act of birth conformably to tho 8 th article of the Seuatua-Coimiltum of tho 25 th of December , 1852 , and the 13 th article of tho Statute of tho 21 st of Jimo , 1853 . Wo have selooted aa witnesses his Imperial Highness Prinoo Napoleon and his Highness Prince Luoien Murat . Whereupon , M . lo Ministre , I pray God to have you in health and His good keeping . —Dpno at tho Palaco of tho Tuilorios , March 12 . Napoleon . " The communications to Priuoo Napoleon , Princo Luoien Murat , and M . Ablmtucci , Keeper of tho Soals , are of tho snino nature .

      Thcso documents arc followod by an official statement to the ofFoct that tho injunctions of tho Emperor wore duly carried out ; and tho statement ia signed- — " iNapoloou , Princo Napoloon , Prinoo Mil rat , Princoss Mathildo , Princess Baoiocohi , Princess Caroline Mumt , Prinoo Joachim Murat , Countess do Montijo ( DuohohH of Ponavanda ) , Aohille Fould , J . Baroolio , Abbatucoi .

      the Tribunals of Correctional Police in the departments of France of persons found guilty of propagating false news . Prince Jerome is now so far recovered that no more bulletins will be issued . The Empress is also sufficiently well for the bulletins to be withdrawn . The Paris journal , Figaro—which has lately fallen into disgrace for the freedom of its witticisms—has published a burlesque petition to the Imperial Baby , to intercede in its behalf . For this course , it quotes a precedent from Napoleonic history : —• " Forty years ago , a prince was born in the Tuileries . A few days after this event , a person came to the palace with a petition for the King of Rome . The Emperor , your ancestor , willed that this petition should be presented

      to his heir in person . Then he said to the petitioner , ' What answer did the King of Rorae make V ' He said nothing , sire ; but , as silence gives consent , I am j ustified in thinking that the prince grants my request . ' Napoleon ratified the tacit agreement of his son . " The Paris Correspondent of the J ) aily News says that "M . de Villemeissant , the redacteur of the Figaro , has been summoned to appear before the director of public safety , to be taken to task for the extraordinary freedom of his petition to the Imperial Prince . I hear that M . Villemessant defended himself so cleverly that he will probably carry his point . It is curious that , of the three principal editors of the Figaro , one is an Orleanist , one a republican ^ and one a legitimist . I hear it stated to-day that an . amnesty for all press offences will be published immediately . "

      The widow of the late Heiiirich . Heine writes to the Debats respecting the proposed erection of a mausoleum over the remains of her husband : — " I can not permit any one , Monsieur , to share with nie the duty of preparing a last and pious resting place for tae man of genius who did me the honour to associate lis life to mine , and who preserved for me , up to his last hour , his best and most affectionate sentiments . " The French Minister of "War is ' at present engaged in effecting a complete codification of all tie military and naval laws and regulations . The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Tours has recently been condemning to fine and inrprisonment several so-called ¦ " sorcerers" who have been imposing largely on the credulity of tlie peasants by charms and potions .

      A protest signed by twenty-five French Bishops , has been sent by Cardinal de Bonald , Archbishop of Lyons , to the Pope , against the resignation ( forced on him "by the Government ) of the Bishop of Lucon . The protest is said to be rather strong , and the Cardinal declares that , if the Bishops are to be thus forced to resign when the Government wish it , they ^ will in reality be nothing more than public functionaries removable at treasure . The Bishop of Lugon , who is now at Rome , has been appointed by the Pope a member of the Congregation of the Iudex .

      PRUSSIA . It js said that Prussia has the intention of effecting a complete reconciliation between the courts of Vienna and St . Petersburg , and that there will be an interview between the Emperors of Austria and Russia and the King of Prussia in some town near the borders of the three countries . The Berlin Moniteur ( Stacots Aiizciger ) contains an order addressed by the Minister of Commerce to the Committee of the Stock Exchange , forbidding brokers to buy or sell shares in foreign undertakings when the same are not fully paid up . Brokers disregarding this injunction will forfeit their privileges . The subscription opened for tho family of the late M . de Hiuckeldey , Director of Police at Berlin , amounted on the 18 th to about 60 , 000 francs .

      Count Canitz , who was announced , about three weeks ago , to have killed himself , and afterwards to liave fallen in a duel , now turns oxX to be alive and well . Tho editor of tho Krexcz Zeitimy recently affirmed to a circle of guests at the Russian Minister ' s soiree , that " tho theft of private papers at Potsdam was orgnnisod in tho Priuco of Prussia ' s pnlace , " and that " measures must soon bo takon to givo tho princo another entourage . " Ono of tho bystanders commutho Minister

      nicated this to tho Princo , who requested of Justioo to have tho ox-editor proceeded against for calumny . It was found , howovor , that the informant could not swoar to tho exact words ; and the Priuco was advised that the indictment could not bo maintained .
