On Sunday, James McLONAN, a private in the 48th Regiment, shot himself at the Royal Barrack, Dublin. The only cause that could be assigned for the horrible act was the deceased got married without the consent of his commanding officer, which is a breach of military law.
BURGLARIES IN NAVAN. - The Navan public bakery, Trimgate-street, was entered on the night of Saturday, or morning of Sunday last, and about 3£ 10s. taken, all the money that the clerk left in the shop, he having, as usual, taken the remainder away at bed hour. The thieves entered by the bread-room window at the rere (sic.) having first removed the sash, then cut the lattice, and next found out the centre iron bar, which they removed. They then cleverly pressed back the lock of the shop-door, which they entered. The burglars must have been well acquainted with the premises, and experienced "cracksmen," from the business-like manner in which they conducted the adventure. - bid.
INCREASE OF POVERTY. - We are going on swimmingly here with the production of beggars, and promise fair in a short time to rival even the most flourishing of the Mayo unions. Four poorhouses are already occupied, and a fifth is about to be added, to supply the increasing demand. We have in or about 2,000 beggars, in a town whose population little exceeds 4,000. Hurrah for Ireland! - Ibid.
MEATH ARCHERS. The Toxopholites will hold a meeting in the ensuing month - Aclare Lodge will probably by the place selected. Mr. Thos. RADCLIFFE has been appointed secretary instead of Mr. GERRARD, who has resigned.

W. H. CURRAN, Esq., held a court at Cavan on this day for the relief of insolvent debtors. There were but ten petitioners, and none of their cases presented any features of a particular interest.
Anne FOY, a tenant on the Blackwood BRADYH property, was opposed by Mr. POWER, barrister-at-law, on behalf of the receiver, Joseph LYNCH, Esq. The grounds of opposition were shortly as follows:- The petitioner held a farm on the above-named property, the rent of which she allowed to run into arrear for five years; when called upon for rent, instead of paying, she declared herself insolvent; and filed a schedule, which Mr. Power contended was fraudulent.
It appears the insolvent's husband died in last October, leaving behind him a large amount of assets, sufficient to discharge six times the sum due for rent, also the lease of his farm. The farm was then well stocked, and is so at present. Shortly after Foy's death, his widow (the petitioner) lodged £21 in the Ulster Bank at Cootehill in her own name, which money was withdrawn from the bank some time in the last month. The receiver offered to take the rent by instalments, on any way it would be paid, but his proposition was rejected; notwithstanding which, petitioner put in a proposal for another farm of nine acres, or thereabouts, adjoining her own, and offered to pay down a half year's rent in advance.
In explanation, insolvent stated to the court that the assets left by her husband, including the farm, were bequeathed to her children, with whom she resided up to the date of her arrest, with the exception of two cows given to her. The money she had lodged in the bank belonged to one of her daughters (unmarried), who is also called Anne Foy. The bank-book was handed over by insolvent to this daughter, who drew the money from the bank. Some time ago her house was broken into and robbed of a sum of money, the lease of the farm, some meal, and other articles, which goods insolvent has not since recovered.
The Court, in pronouncing judgment, said the case was full of suspicion in his mind - in fact, he considered it a mere juggle to keep the property and deprive the landlord of his lawful rights. The £21, he was of opinion, belonged to insolvent; the daughter nw had it, and she could really, if she wished, make up the rent due and liberate her mother from prison. His Lordship then remanded the insolvent to gaol for six months from the date of her vesting order.
Mr. PALLAS offered to accept one year's rent on account, and to take the balance as it could be conveniently paid.
Patrick CALLAGHAN was the next called. He is also a tenant on the Blackwood estate. He refused to pay any portion of the rent when demanded of him and was arrested. The bailiffs then applied under order of the court for his cattle , which the latter refused to surrender. In the subsequent part of the same day he sent for the bailiff to tender him possession, but the latter refused to wait upon him. Since than the Earl of Lanesborough's agent has distrained the cattle for rent become due since the Blackwood property was surrendered to the head landlord. Some witnesses were sworn, by whose evidence, on cross-examination, it appeared that intimation was conveyed to the Earl of Lanesborough by the person who filled his schedule to distrain the cattle, and that the cattle are now in safe keeping and have not been sold to liquidate insolvents debts.
His lordship condemned the bailiff strongly for not going to take possession of the cattle asked for. He also pronounced this to be another fraudulent case, and remanded him for six months from the date of his vesting order.
James KELLY opposed by Mr. Power. Insolvent's debts were set forth in his schedule as being exclusively for rents.
On a full inquiry into the case, petitioner was remanded for three months from the date of his vesting order.
Margaret LEARY - unopposed. Discharged.
Owen CLARKE, opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, on behalf of R. M. HASSARD, Esq. and Henrietta his wife. Insolvent had not surrendered his holding.
Ordered to give up possession in a week.
Patrick SMITH, opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, on behalf of Andrew NIXON, Esq., and Elizabeth his wife. The insolvent's schedule being informal, his case was postponed. Mr. Armstrong applied to have Mr. Nixon appointed assignee. The court having learned that Mr. Nixon had taken an action against insolvent in the superior courts on ____ of a £9 bill, refused. Mr. Armstrong's application, and severely reprehended Mr. Nixon for mounting up costs.
Anne GAFFNEY was opposed by Mr. John Armstrong for Mr. J. Fay and others. He insolvent's husband, who had been a shopkeeper, died in October, 1848, leaving property worth £500.; she carried on business on her own account since and a few days before she failed, she got £9. worth of tobacco from Mr. Fay on credit. She was arrested at the suit (sic) of a friend. Her schedule commenced so far back as 1847; during the lifetime of her husband, and at his decease she stated the assets to be only worth £6.
The court remanded petitioner to the next commission, and ordered her to amend her schedule and file a special balance sheet, commencing at the time of her husband's death.
John SMITH and Patrick KEOGH - discharged unopposed. Adjourned.
BAILIEBOROUGH SESSIONS.

After the jury had been sworn, the Barrister addressed them to the following effect:- Gentlemen of the grand jury, I am sorry to inform you that the calendar at the present sessions is very heavy, there being no less than 120 cases on it, the principal portion of which is for small thefts; however, little or no difficulty will be experienced by you in the disposal of the bills; and as soon as you shall have disposed of them I will discharge y ou from further attendance, as this is the fair day of Bailieborough.
The jury then retired to consider the bills sent before them by the clerk of the peace.
The Bench then proceeded to dispose of applications for spirit licenses; and as a further proof of either the poverty or morality of the inhabitants of this very populous division of the county, there were only two applicants (one of them a transfer) which were granted.
ROBBERY. - Last night, or early this morning, some person or persons unknown committed a most daring robbery from the shop of Mr SMITH, onfectioner, Main-street, Cavan, by forcing open the window-shutter, breaking the window, so as to give ample room for a hand, and taking with them all the dainties (sp?) they could reach.
On Thursday, the man HAMILTON was transported for seven years for firing at the Queen.
