PERSECUTION OF THE "ANGLO-CELT."
Cavan This Evening.Just before going to press the Proprietor of this journal was served with an official notice from the Crown Office, Dublin, to surrender on Monday the 18th of April, Instant, to abide judgment in the case of the Queen v. Wallace.
A MECHANICS' INSTITUTE
We have been requested this week to again call attention to the necessity which exists of establishing a Literary and Scientific Institute in Cavan. We are aware that Capt. ERSKINE, Dr. HALPIN, Rev. W. P. MOORE, Mr. KELLY, and some others are favourable to the project and would be active in furthering it. What then prevents the formation of a Committee to commence the business and take the steps necessary to its accomplishment? We cannot see. The opportunity is good, and we have no doubt the townspeople would respond generously to any appeal made to them for so laudable an object as that we have named.
MISSIONARY MEETING. -- We are informed that the annual missionary meeting of the Methodist Society will be held, D. V., in Bridge-street meeting-house, Cavan, on the 20th of April instant, at half past six o'clock in the evening. The Rev. John BEDFORD from England, with other ministers, will attend to advocate the mission cause. A collection will be made in aid of the society. A large attendance is expected.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH. -- On the morning of Tuesday, the 29th ult., the neighbourhood of Oldcastle was thrown into considerable excitement by the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Joseph SHERIDAN of Ballinlough, in the parish of Moylough. Mr. Sheridan, who was a member of the Oldcastle board of guardians, attended the meeting on the 26th ult., and being a powerful young man, in high health and spirits, he subsequently attended at the chapel of Oldcastle on Easter Sunday and dined in the town with a friend. About 8 o'clock on the evening of Monday he took some tea and eggs in the home of a neighbour, and on his leaving was suddenly attacked with violent headache and retching, when he shortly after became speechless, in which state he remained until eleven o'clock, when he expired. Dr. ATKIN of Oldcastle was called in about an hour before he died, but could give no opinion as to the cause of death. An Inquest was held on the body on Thursday (but no medical man was examined) when it appears a verdict was retuned -- "Died by the visitation of God."

We understand that arrangements are in progress with a view to insure the Great National Cattle Show of next year of the Royal Irish Agricultural Society being held in Dundalk, and that the Northern Railway Companies have resolved upon acting in the most liberal manner towards the promotion of so desirable an object. It is the rule of the society that their annual shows should be held alternately in each of the provinces ; it was last year in Galway, and will be this year in Killarney, so that Connaught and Munster having had their turn, Leinster comes in next, and we know of no more central or suitable place in the whole province that could be fixed on than Dundalk. -- Newrg(sic) Examiner.
THEATRICALS AT THE KILMORE ACADEMY.
On the nights of Thursday and Friday last, the young gentlemen entertained the respectable inhabitants of Cavan and its vicinity, with an amateur dramatis performance. About two hundred of the elite of the town and neighbourhood were in attendance.A house to the rere(sic) of the Academy was tastefully fitted up ; the walls were decorated with festoons of evergreens ; and two large chandeliers well supplied with Prices'Patent, threw a brilliant light over the entire scene. The scenery was neat and suitable, well arranged, and skilfully managed. In front of the stage was erected a gallery for the band, from which, at regular intervals, they played some sweet and enthralling airs.
The play selected for the first night was the tragedy of Barbarossa, the production of an eminent divine, and particularly recommended for the excellent moral it contains (i.e.) that patience under affliction, and a resigned submission to the Divine will, never fail ultimately to procure happiness for the distressed.
Being present on both nights, and having taken an interest in the proceedings, we are consequently enabled to give an opinion as to the relative merits of each of the performers.
The difficult character of Barbarossa, was supported with ability and judgment by Mr. Jas. O'REILLY ; whether regarded as the tyrant, enjoying a savage triumph over his devoted victims, Selim and Zaphire, or writhing under the remorse of conscience, when that death, which he so often contemned, drew near, he was equally energetic, natural and expressive. In a word, he appeared to understand fully the character which he assumed ad did it ample justice.
Selim, the hero of the play, was personated by Mr. A. M'KENNA in the clever style, which has heretofore characterized his appearance on the boards. His representation of Acmit, the supposed murderer of Selim, in the early part of the performance, was quite natural ; but, having thrown off the garb of the slave, his singular abilities were so strikingly manifested in his native character of Selim, as to take the entire audience by surprise. His emphatic gesture and manner of delivery, gained for him well-merited applause.
Mr. T. BRENNAN enacted the character of Othman vigourously and with effect. At the closing scene, the death of Barbarossa, he particularly distinguished himself.
The characters of Sudi and Aladdin were cleverly sustained by Mr. Tm M'ENROE and Mr. H. NEWMAN.
We cannot praise too highly the two young gentlemen who appeared in female character. Zapldrea (Mr. P. C. HORAN), was unequalled in her vehement denunciations of the tyrant who slew her husband, and banished "her blameless son" ; and the conduct of a tender and affectionate daughter, as well as of a true and faithful lover, was admirably portrayed by Mr. James FARRELLY, as Irene.
This play terminated with the laughable and amusing farce, entitled "The Irish Tutor."
Mr. H. NEWMAN, as Doctor O'Toole, was quite apropos with his character, and such a rich vein of drollery pervaded his manner of action and delivery, as called forth the frequent and enthusiastic plaudits of the audience.
As Mr. Tibcell and his son Charles, Mr. James O'REILLY, and Mr. BRENNAN carried out their parts in good style.
Dr. Flail was very ably personated by Mr. C. M'CABE ; and Mr. J. O'REILLY and Mr. Wm. O'BRIEN passed off very well as Mary and Rosa.
On the second night (Friday) the play performed was "The Bride of Lammermoor." The fact of its being connected with the name of Scott, is a sufficient guarantee for its worth, and therefore required no comment.
The principal character, Edgar, Master of Ravenswood, was very ably supported by Mr. A. M'KENNA. In the last scene, which was a most difficult one, he fully confirmed the high opinion entertained of his talents, as well by his skillful gesture and polished manner, as by his good elocution. In the indignant rebuke in which he charges Lucy Ashton with a breach of plighted faith, he appeared to the greatest advantage.
Sir Wm. Ashton lost nothing in the hands of Mr. James O'REILLY ; had he a more prominent character he would have done justice to it.
Mr. NEWMAN appeared to be in his proper sphere as Bucklax, and sustained the character cleverly.
The part of Captain Craigengelt was well supported by Mr. T. M'ENROE, his bearing and manner were in strict accordance with the craven character he assumed.
Mr. BRENNAN was effective in the little he had to do, as Colonel Ashton.
Mr. M'SHARRY, as Randolph (the clergyman), performed his part admirably. His sober, sacredotal appearance, together with the solemnity of his delivery, gave to the character he sustained, the stamp of reality.
Mr. B. SHERIDAN, in the character of Caleb, displayed considerable tact and ability. The dearest object of his interest, "the credit of the family." had in him a real and faithful advocate ; and the perfect nonchalance with which he invented and recited lies in its maintenance, elicited roars of laughter. He was very ably seconded in his ludicrous exertions by his gudewife Mysie, in the person of Mr. John O'REILLY.
Mr. F. O'REILLY, in his representation of Lady Ashton, made a good impression.
Mr. James FARRELLY, in Lucy Ashton, both felt and acted, and his pathetic delivery produced a thrilling effect upon the audience.
This drama was followed by the admirable afterpiece of "Rory O'More," in which the wit, humour, and patriotism of the Irishman are so glowingly pourtrayed(sic).
Although we thought Mr. SHERIDAN more at home in representing Caleb, yet in sustaining the part of the rolicking and humorous Rory, he was natural both in speech and action, and the effect produced showed how admirably he salted that character.
Mr. A. M'KENNA was perfectly at ease in De Lacy ; and he kicked out old Scrubbs with all imaginable politeness.
Mr. M'CABE as Scrubbs was a living representative of the yeoman of former days.
The dastardly bravo, De Welskin was exceedingly well sustained by Mr. NEWMAN. Col. Thunder, Shan Dhu, and Soldering Solomon, were fairly represented by Messrs. M'ENROE, O'REILLY, and TRAYNOR.
The latter gentleman was so faithful a representative of old Solomon, in both manner and appearance, that roars of laughter greeted at all times his entrance on the stage.
The female characters in this play were well sustained by Messrs. O'REILLY, FARRELLY, FITZPATRICK, and KIERNAN. Mr. FARRELLY in particular did full justice to the character of the artless, yet spirited, Irish peasant girl, Mary O'More.
The performance being terminated, Mr. M'KENNA in a short but eloquent address, returned thanks, and was listened to with marked attention.
We cannot conclude this brief notice, without congratulating our young friends, on the great success which has attended their appearance as theatrical performers. They far surpassed our expectations ; we were not prepared to find among persons so young, so much wit, humour, and courage ; and above all, such an intimate and practical knowledge of elocution, as they so manifestly displayed on the occasion.
The audience was perfectly delighted, having but one regret, that the amusement terminated so soon. We trust to see it shortly renewed ; as irrespective of the great pleasure it affords the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, it will be of considerable service to the young men themselves when entering hereafter on the stage of public life.

COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL.
On Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock, a collision, which might have been attended with fatal results, took place in the Irish Channel. At the Prince Arthur steamer, belonging to the City of Dublin Packet Company, with the mail and a great number of passengers on board, was proceeding on her course towards Holyhead, she was, when about 15 miles from Kingstown, run into by a brig, about 200 tons burden, in full sail, the steamer, at the time, going at the rate of 12 or 15 miles an hour. The bowsprit of the brig ran into the starboard paddlebox of the steamer, causing a tremendous crash and stoving in the quarter deck boat. Fortunately, the vessel got clear, or both might have gone down together. The steamer was, however, completely disabled, and after lying for about an hour in a crippled condition, burning red lights, was taken in tow by her Majesty's steamer, Paisley, and brought to Holyhood at a quarter to nine o'clock yesterday morning. The brig, which was not much injured, proceeded on her course. The confusion and panic on board the steamer was increased by its being discovered that there was no knife at hand to cut the lashing of the canvas cover of the larboard quarter deck boat, which it took five minutes to lower. This brig had no lights, so that the collision took place within four minutes from her being seen by the captain and mate of the steamer, who kept a good look out. It seems no life preservers were on board.
WRECK OF THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND (STEAMER)
LOSS OF LIFE
Just at the close of business at Lloyd's on Saturday evening, a painful sensation was created by the announcement of the receipt of a telegraphic message from Aberdeen, communicating the melancholy wreck of one of the splendid steamships, the Duke of Sutherland, belonging to the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company, attended by loss of life. The message coming from a private source, not connected with the company, some uneasiness was entertained as to its accuracy, notwithstanding that the catastrophe had been duly entered upon the books, which required the sanction of the secretary.
About half-past seven, however, all doubts were put aside by the receipt of an official communication of the wreck from Mr. T. ANDERSON, the head manager at Aberdeen. It was addressed to Mr. TATE:
'Announcing April 2: -- The Duke of Sutherland was wrecked of(sic) the point of the pier yesterday (Friday) afternoon at half-past five o'clock. Captain HOWLING and several passengers drowned.'
A may be anticipated, this mournful intelligence produced the most painful feeling. The ill-fated vessel was one of the finest steamships that ever entered the port of London, and was justly termed "a floating palace." She was comparatively a new vessel, of between 600 and 700 tons burden, and, for the accommodations she afforded, was a great favourite amongst the aristocracy and merchants travelling far north.

CORONER'S INQUEST - VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Dr. Macfaden, one of the coroners for this county, held an inquest at a place called Knocknashammer, about five miles S.W. of Cootehill, on the 26th March, on view of the body of a small farmer of the name of Samuel WOGAN. who resided and held about ten acres of ground in that townland. The circumstances of the case as elicited in evidence are briefly as follows -- the deceased was returning home about eleven o'clock. p.m., from the fair at Cootehill on the 11th of that month, with an empty cart accompanied by his daughter and another young woman, her cousin (daughter of James WOGAN of Carnassses, who was tried a few days ago and narrowly escaped conviction for the murder of Mary TRAVERS) who were escorted by a young man of the name of John MASTERSON, a hand-loom weaver, who resides at the old pound of Cootehill ; and when arrived opposite to the country residence of Edward M'INTOSH, Esq., J.P., at Campstown, about half a mile from that town, the deceased observed that MASTERSON was, as he imagined, rather too familiar with his daughter, and directed her to leave his company and get on the cart, which offended the latter, and let(sic) to an altercation which resulted in the deceased being knocked down and struck on the head with a large stone by MASTERSON. However the deceased appeared not to be much affected by the beating he received, as he walked into Cootehill and home again on the day following, but immediately became ill, and was attended by A. D. M'CARTHY, the medical superintendant of the Tevenanass Dispensary, who treated him as a fever patient, but it subsequently appeared on being visited by Surgeon Wm. STUART of Cootehill, that his disease was inflammation of the brain, of which he died on the 25th March. Dr. James SHARP of Cootehill made a post mortem examination of the body, and deposed that deceased died of abscess on the brain, produced by inflammation, although there was no fracture of the skull, and only a trifling cicatrix was observable over the left eye. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died of extreme violence which he received from John MASTERSON on the night of the 11th March, 1853, whereupon the coroner issued his warrant against him, but he has absconded and left the country, and it is supposed is gone off to America.
The Rev. Thomas SKELTON, of Ballyjamesduff, diocese of Kilmore, departed this life, on Sunday morning, the 19th instant, after a fortnight's illness of malignant typhus fever, caught in visiting a parishioner. Never lived a man more esteemed and respected, or died one more universally regretted. Protestant, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, all mourn as for the loss of one dear to them. The Church can ill afford the loss of such a minister, for he was indeed one of whom she might be proud. Eloquent and earnest in the pulpit, he preached the Gospel in its fulness and freeness with force and power.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.
An unfortunate accident occurred on Thursday last at the Exhibition Building, which, for the time, has cast a gloom over all connected with it, and has been attended with a melancholy loss of live.It appears that about eleven o'clock, a number of painters were employed painting one of the domes, for which a most ingenious scaffolding was employed, on which a number of persons could work, and it had the great advantage of being moveable. On the scaffolding -- the fall of which has led to the catastrophe -- the fixtures were in some respect imperfect, and the whole was precipitated to the ground from a height of fifty feet. Three of the unfortunate men were almost killed on the spot ; one had a compound fracture of the leg, and nine others escaped with bruises and other injuries, not supposed to be of a dangerous character.
An inquest was held to inquire into the cause of this melancholy accident.

NEW ROSS ELECTION COMMITTEE.
On Saturday the two rent-charges upon which Mr. DUFFY found his claim of qualification were produced and read. No consideration was stated in either. The second – viz., that granted by Mr. HUDSON, bore a reference to the one granted a short time previously by Mr. O’HARA, and stipulated that in the event of that being held valid this should be void and null.
Mr. O’HARA then appeared in the witness box. He said he was an attorney in Dublin, and had known Mr. DUFFY since 1844 or 1845. The date of the deed was the 11th of June, 1852, and it was executed in his own office in Dublin in presence of his nephew, who was connected with him in business and lived in his house. Some months before that time, having learned that Mr. DUFFY was desirous to get into parliament, witness said to him that if he was without the necessary qualification he would give it him. Mr. DUFFY accepted the offer with thanks, as he did not possess the requisite qualification. The sum contained in the rent-charge he granted was left blank till Mr. DUFFY should make his election between standing for a county and a borough. If he had decided for a county, the sum stated would have been 600₤., instead of 300₤., for the amount was a matter perfectly unimportant to him. After executing the deed he handed it to his nephew for delivery to Mr. DUFFY, and he understood it to have been delivered next day. Two months after he saw it lying about his own house in the possession of his nephew , and he would not undertake to say that it had not continued there ever since. His nephew explained to him that Mr. DUFFY had desired him to keep it for him ; it was his intention, he said, that Mr. DUFFY should have every legal and substantial right that might be necessary to the accomplishment of his purpose ; but he admitted that it was never his intention that Mr. DUFFY should draw the contents of the document ; since the deed was executed there had been two collections of rents from the property, and neither directly nor indirectly had Mr. DUFFY any interest in or benefit from the money then received; not a penny ever passed between them in consideration of the deed or consequent upon it ; it was usual to place such deeds as these upon the register, but the custom was not complied with in this instance.
Sir Thomas REDINGTON was sworn – He was then candidate for New Ross in the Whig interest, but his canvass was a perfect nullity, for he was so pelted by mobs that he was obliged to fly the town under the escort of military and police ; the mobs were directed by Father DOYLE, who seconded Mr. DUFFY on the husting; and there was scarcely an epithet which he did not apply to him; Father DOYLE exhorted the mob to drive him from the town; he withdrew from the contest, because, if he had claimed the votes tendered to him, it would have been at great personal risk to these voters, besides entailing upon them heavy loss from the system of exclusive dealing, which was carried to a frightful extent; he believed the parish priest was his friend, by Mr. DUFFY had the coadjutor.
Cross-examined – He was himself a Roman Catholic; the object to him was that he was a supporter of the government which carried the ecclesiastical titles bill.
The Chairman then ordered strangers to withdraw, and, on the parties being again admitted, desired Mr. PIGOTT to confine his attention to that part of his case which alleged want of qualification.
Mr. PIGOTT then summed up, arguing that there was here a colourable compliance with the act; and that, as Mr. DUFFY was not better off since the execution of the deed that, before, he was not seized of the lands "for his own use and benefit" as the statue required.
Mr. O’MALLEY replied, contending that Mr. DUFFY had a full legal right to the property. If he choose to leave that right unexercised that his was concern. He also referred to the case of Mr. SOMERS, formerly member of parliament for Sligo, to whom a rent charge had been granted under precisely similar circumstances. That deed was now in the hands of his creditors, and they were annually receiving the contents.
The room having been cleared, the committee came to the resolution: -- "That Charles Gavan DUFFY, Esq., was, at the election for the borough of New Ross, held on the 14th day of July, 1852, duly elected a burgess to serve in this present parliament for the said borough."

SIX-MILE-BRIDGE.
N THE PRESS,
AND TO BE HAD OF ALL BOOKSELLERS,
A FEW QUERIES ARISING FROM A FEW FACTS.
WAS the attack on the Military, as asserted by the Ex-Solicitor General – premeditated?
Was the conduct of the Ex-Attorney General, with regard to the proceedings at Six-Mile-Bridge, as compared with Kilrush – impartial? Was Father Burke’s Whip – formidable?
Was the kidnapping of the Voters – Bone fide?
Was the conduct of the escort of the 31st marked by "good discipline and forbearance?"
Whether was the origin of the fatal catastrophe more fairly attributable to Priests and the People, or to Parsons and Colonel Vandeleur?AS BRIEFLY CONSIDERED IN A LETTER

The New First-class Coppered and Copper-fastened
Packet Ship,
K O N G S V E R R E,
CAPTAIN N. FISCHER,
Will Sail direct from Dublin without calling at
Liverpool or any other Port,
On the 23rd of APRIL, 1853.
This new First Class Coppered and Copper-Fastened Packet Ship is now about to start on her First Voyage this season. Her Cabin, Second Cabin, and Steerage accommodations are first-rate – airy, commodious, and well fitted up, and the Second Cabin is particularly adapted for the health and comfort of Families who can have separate State Rooms for any number. She has superior First Cabin accommodations for Twenty-five persons, and respectable persons will find this a most desirable opportunity, combining comfort and convenience with very moderate terms.
East Passenger will be supplied with 2 ½ lbs. of Biscuit, ½ lb. of Wheaten Flour, 5 lbs. of Oatmeal, 1 lb. of Rice, 1 oz. Tea, ½ lb. Sugar, 2 oz. Salt and 21 quarts of Water weekly, with a Supply of Fuel, and Medicines, free of expense.
She is commanded by Capt. FISCHER, a Master experienced in the trade, whose kindness and attention are well known.
Emigrants are particularly warned against proceeding to America in large three-decked Ships, as from their over-crowded state, and want of air and ventilation in the middle and lower Decks, which are below the water-level, and deficient of light, the mortality of late has been excessive.
Those Packets afford all the advantages of direct embarkation, particularly to respectable parties who have much extra Luggage, any quantity of which will be taken WITHOUT ANY CHARGE, besides avoiding the war and tear, expense, &c., of transshipment.
Parties in the Country can secure their berths by remitting ₤1, and the
remainder need not be paid till their arrival at the Ship. For all further

THREATENING TO STAB. – At the Police-court, yesterday, before W. S. TRACY, Esq., R.M., James HYNES, a strongly-built young man, whose face was horribly disfigured with wounds, was charged by Harbour-constable WALKER with being drunk and disorderly on the quays, and with threatening to stab the constable on his directing him to proceed home. Another member of the harbour constabulary stated that the prisoner held a knife in his hand and threatened with oaths that he would cut his belly out. His Worship sentenced the prisoner to a fine of 30s. or a month’s imprisonment for each offence. He was led off in custody. –
Northern Whig.
Mr. GREENE has been elected for Lancaster – the numbers being, GREENE, 668;
ARMSTRONG, 543.
The Queen has presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant a magnificent silver dressing-case on the occasion of his coming to age.
GAVEZZI, the apostate, has been ‘well received,’ it is said, by the evangelicals of New York.
The stock of Irish and Dutch butter, in the English market was not so low the last twenty years as it is now.
HOBBES attributed his superiority to the moderation of his reading, affirming that if he had read as much as the philosophers, he should have been as ignorant. The fact is, he read less than he meditated. This, the great secret of all vigorous creative thought, is a prime requisite in constructing the durable monuments of genius.
The Secretary of State has directed that after the 5th of May next, all the inter-mural grave-yards of London shall be finally closed up. Among them is the grave-yard of St. Botolph ALDERSGATE, which has been in use for five hundred years, and the level of which has been gradually raised for five or six feet above the adjacent street.
Sir Thomas MITCHELL has applied the principle of Australian boomerang to the making of a screw for steam locomotion. This has been tried in Australia last week; and it was tried, in a modified form, in the Mersey. By some unexplained fatality, it happens that every account of this interesting invention has been totally unintelligible.
A correct report has been, it is stated, issued this week, which alleges that there are in Ireland 215 societies for lending small sums of money to farmers and traders in want of such assistance. The societies are regulated by two acts of Parliament, passed for the purpose. In 1849 these societies circulated ₤1.164.046 among 463,750 borrowers. The interest charged is 6d, in the pound sterling for twenty weeks loan. The profits arising from these transactions after deducting from expenses and losses, are, it is said, no less than ₤ 15.476 the whole of which is supposed to be distributed among the charinstitutions(sic) in Ireland. All the societies are under the guardianship of Commissioners whose office entitled ‘The Loan Fund Board,’ is in the Castle, Dublin.
It is a curious fact, that until a few days before his death, Sir Robert PEEL was absolutely ignorant that such a person as Robert BROWN, the most eminent of European botanists, was in existence as ult. We find this anecdote in the current number of the University Magazine: -- ‘We remember to have heard an anecdote showing how little our rulers are acquainted with men whose names are known all over the world to men of science. When the King of Prussia and Humboldt were over in London some years ago, there was some occasion of festivity, on which all the most eminent scientific men were supposed to be invited to meet the illustrious German Philosopher, and the King – who honours himself by being his friend. Humboldt inquired eagerly for Robert Brown. "Robert Brown," and Sir R. PEEL, to whom the question was addressed, "who is Robert BROWN?" In hardly any other civilized country could a man so distinguished have been unknown to the prime minister, or unhonoured by the sovereign whose reign he contributes to make memorable.
Upwards of 10,000 persons, ‘by far the larger proportion women,’ witnessed the execution of George SPAKERS, the ‘interesting murderer," at Easter. English ladies exhibit exquisite taste in selecting their reservations.

COURT OF QUEEN’S BENCH. – THURSDAY
THE SIX-MILE BRIDGE AFFRAY.
Judge CRAMPTON pronounced the judgment of the court this day in the case of " The Queen v. Wallace," for the publication of an alleged libel on the officers and men of the 31st Regiment in the Anglo-Celt newspaper. The sentence was, that the traverser should pay a fine of fifty pounds to the Queen, and be imprisoned for six months.
Mr. WALLACE made application to the court that his place of confinement should be in Cavan, which was at once granted.
Mr. WALLACE arrived on the three o’clock ma….(?) this morning (Friday).

CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS.
MONDAY, APRIL 25.Theo. THOMPSON, Esq., J.P., in the chair. Other justices present on the bench -- R.B. BURROWES, Esq., J.P.; R. ERSKINE Esq., J.P.
James LORD, a robust looking man, was charged by Mr. JOHNSTON, registrar of marriages at Cavan, with having served a notice of marriage on him that subsequently he was married, he having sworn to accuracy and correctness of the notice which he served. However, when Mr. JOHNSTON furnished the registry to the Registrar General it was found that there was no such townland as Polakeel in the parish of Ballymacue, which appeared in the notice, and to which J. L. swore. It further stated that his intended lived also in the parish of Ballymacue, whilst according to the evidence of the Rev. J. ADAMS she lived with him in the parish of Kilbride. It further appeared that James LORD never lived in the parish of Ballymacue, but in the parish of Kilbride. On being asked by the chairman what he had to say to the charge, he replied that he did not know what he was doing at the time. This is all the explanation he could give the bench. He was ordered to find bail in £.20 himself, and two sureties and £.10 each to take his trial at the Cavan Quarter Sessions or go to gaol.

The Eblana, was about two miles from her. The hands were saved in boats. The above we have just heard, was a Dutch schooner, on her voyage from Liverpool to St. Lucia (West Indies). eleven hands were saved, including the mates, and it is feared the unfortunate commander has met with a watery grave. --- Freeman

THE DILLONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT.
As Mr. Wallace, proprietor of the Anglo-Celt, derives his maternal descent from the Dillons, Earls of Roscommon, and is a claimant for that peerage, he is respectfully requested to publish the following account of the origin of that noble name which has been collected from various sources: -- Their history is given in Lodge's Historical Peerage, the particulars being taken from records in the Tower of London, and ancient MSS. in the Cottonian and Lambeth Libraries, and a similar account of the Dillons is also given in Mac Geoghegan's History of Ireland. In the latter end of the 6th century, (A.D. 590 - to 600) Aodh Slaine, or Hugh Slaney, and Colman Rimidh, who were of the royal line of King Nial of the Hostages, became joint monarchs of Ireland. It happened that Lochan, a son of Hugh Slaney, slew King Coleman, for which he had to fly from Ireland, and having arrived in France at a time when the King of that country was at war with the Duke of Aquitaine, Lochan entered the Duke's service, and by his valour greatly contributed to support him in his sovereignty, for which signal service the Duke gave him his daughter in marriage, and after he father's death he succeeded as Duke of Aquitaine. When in Ireland, Lochan had got the surname of Diolmhain, which signifies a soldier, or valiant man, and the name was variously written, Diluain, Diloane, Delion, and lastly Dillon. This valiant Hibernian chief of royal race founded a dynasty of Dukes of Aquitaine, and the house of Lochan-Diluain held the sovereignty of that province for more than five hundred years. There is a remarkable similarity between the fortunes of Loohan Diluain, and the Italian warrior, Jacopo Attendolo, who from his strength and valour got the name of Sforza, and became the founder of the famous family of Sforza, Dukes of Milan. The descendants of Lochan Diluain ruled as Dukes of Aquitaine till the 12th century, when they were dispossessed by William, a prince of the house of Burgundy, who became Duke of Aquitaine. Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, afterwards Henry II, King of England, having espoused Eleanor, Duchess of Guienne, daughter of William, Duke of Aquitaine, thought it prudent to remove two male children of the race of Lochan Diluain, lest they should become pretenders to the Dukedom, and with this view had them conveyed to England, where they received a suitable education. Their names were Thomas and Henry. The latter was knighted, and as Sir Henry Dilonne, or Delion, was sent to Ireland in 1185, as First Gentleman and Secretary to Prince John, Earl of Mortague, afterwards King John. Sir Henry got from his royal master extensive grants of lands in Westmeath and Annaly, or Longford, and became the founder of the noble family of Dillon. The territory they possessed was called Lord Dillon's country, and in aftertimes, they were created Barons of Killkenny West in Westmeath, Earls of Roscommon, and Viscounts of Costello-Gallen, in Mayo, and got Baronetcies in Meath and other counties. As the Dillons came from France in the time of the Norman kings, some writers have considered them a Norman family, but according to the above historical pedigree they are of Milesian descent, and of the same race as the royal house of O'Neill. The name of Dillon became very numerous, and of great note in the counties of Meath, Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, Dublin, and Kildare. Many of the Dillons became celebrated military commanders in the service of foreign states -- France, Spain, and Austria' and no name was more distinguished in the Irish Brigades. To recount the exploits of the Dillons, De Lacys, Brownes, Sarsfields, O'Brien's, O'Donnells, O'Reillys, O'Bradys, and other illustrious Irish warriors, in the service of the continental states, would require volumes. The Dillons formed marriage alliances with many of the noblest of the Norman families in Ireland, as the Fitzgeralds, Earls of Kildare, and Desmond ; the Butlers, Earls of Ormond ; the Le Poers, Earls of Tyrone, and Barons of Decies ; the Burkes, Earls of Clanncarde; the Nugents, Earls of Westmeath ; the Birminghams, Barons of Athenry ; the Barnwalls, Barons of Trimblestown ; the Plunkets, Earls of Fingall; and Barons of Dunsany ; the Flemings, Barons of Slane ; the Sarsfields, Earls of Lucan ; the Talbots, Belcurs, Cusacks, Daltons, Darcys, Delameres, and many others of great note ; and also with the princely families of the old Irish, as the O'Mores, Lords of Leix; the Mac Geoghegans, Lords in Westmeath; the O'Ferrals, Lords of Annaly, or Longford ; the O'Reilly's, Lords of Brefney, or Cavan ; the MacDermotts Roe, or Roscommon, and many others. The Dillons built many castles, and magnificent mansions, as at Drumrany in Westmeath, at Proudatown, Riverstown, Kentstown, and Moymet in Meath, and had extensive estates about Lismullen, Skreen, Tara, and Trim in Meath, and at Belgard, Co. Dublin. They founded, and endowed several Abbeys, as those of Killkenny West, and Ardnecrana, in Westmeath, and a Franciscan Friary, in Athlone ; and erected churches in Skreen, Tara, and some other places. Several of the Dillons were Abbots and Catholic bishops in various sees, and from the many religious foundations of their ancestors, the Earls of Roscommon, appropriately took their mot... -- Auxilium eb Alto. Many of the Dillons were eminent lawyers, and learned men ; but the most celebrated literary character of the name was Wentworth Dillon, Earl of Roscommon, a distinguished poet, author of an "Essay on translated verse;" a translation of :Horace's Art of Poetry,: and other works, particularly a translation --- the best ever given -- of that sublime funeral hymn of the Catholic Church, the "Dies Irae," of which one verse may be given as a specimen.
Dies Irae,
dies illa,
Solvit saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cuin Sibylla.The day of wrath - that dreadful day -
Shall the whole world in ashes lay
As David and the Sibyls say.Lord Roscommon died in London, in 1684, in the 51st year of his age, and was buried with great pomp in Westminster Abbey ; but whilst wandering through that venerable pile, I sought in vain for some monument to the memory of that illustrious Irishman.
