Upon his opening it aa explosion took place , and blew one part ef the letter to atoms ; and although , luckily , it only tore a small pleee of skin from his face , it might have done him a very serious injury . There was no writing whatever in the inside , but in another part of the letter there was another portion of combustible matter that did not explode ; and there is no doubt this letter was sent for an entirely malicious purpose . Mr Price has offered a handsome reward for the information by which sneh a wretch may be handed over to the authorities of the law ,

      A strong and increasing agitation has arisen against tbs determination at whioh the Foor Lair Oommisiienerj have arrived respecting the establishment of sixty-three extra unions throughout Ireland .

The cause of the ' rebellion' at Cork wai , that the commlsilonert had litaed an eider for the removal of the mat > ter , natron , and comptroller or assistant master .

In a northern union , npon a farm attached to the workhouse of less than eight aores , they have rearid produce this year to the value of £ 116 , and among other advantages , have malatalaed four miloh cows for the house .

It is now useless for a Waterford merchant to kill pigs and nuke up bacon for a London market—It ii inundated with the produoe of Cincinnati and elsewhere ; there Is no protecting duty for Iiiah industry , Soae of our merchants who employed numbers in curing bacon now find it more profitable to import AmecloBB offal and lard ; this is a new feature in our affairs . We deeply regret the immincBt

      rain of this last fcranoh of our Waterford manufactures . Tbe rain of the John Street weavers may be dated frem the Union ; the act which permits the free importation of American bacon was passed by the British Parlia * ment , from which we do not expect any hope of protic tlon , but we cannot but shudder when we reflect that tbe destruction which is hurrying towards our bacon trade ii likely to prove disastrous to the many who will be obliged to seek employment in a distant land , which they conld muoh more happily have enjoyed at home , bnt for the stupid blundering of a Saxon parliament , whioh whilst it knew It served the people of London , Manchester , Birmingham , < fcc ., little cared how far the trade of this country was likely to be injuriously affeoted by it .

A large quantity of this grain will , without delay , be transmitted to the interlOT , but the great bulk will not be drawn out , un . less the millers should prefer It , with its present duty , until the present corn law expire .

The court , of coarse , granted the adjournment asked for by the . Attorney-General , and the prisoners were directed to be conveyed back to prison . The court , during the proceedings , was crowded to inconvenience with members of the bar . Tbe hall of the court was also crowded to excess .
