THE ELECTION
Two troops of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, a company of the 56th Regiment, and a large number of policemen, from other quarters, have arrived here to keep order in this town and the other polling places during the election.THE ARMY
We see by the official notification of the 30th ult. from the war office, that the Hon. J. P. Maxwell has been promoted from being Brevet Major to a regimental majority in his proper regiment the 50th. There is not, we are convinced, one of our readers who will not feel glad at the fact; and the affix "without purchase," must be gratifying to every person who recollects the honourable gentleman's active services in the Crimean campaign and the sufferings which resulted to him from them.AWFUL CATASTROPHE
We are grieved -- deeply grieved that it becomes our duty to record the death by drowning, on yesterday, of John DOPPING, Esq., H.M. Mr. Irwin, lieutenant in the revenue police force stationed in Arvagh, Mr. Fox, son of the member for Longford, and a son of Colonel Whyte. It appears that the two last named gentlemen, who held commissions in the Longford Militia, were on a visit at Mr. Dopping's residence, with his son, a brother officer, and amongst other means of amusement for them resource was had to boating on Lough Gowne(Gowns?), a large sheet of water, in that part of this county, which borders on Longford. Until one o'clock, yesterday morning, the party were cruising about in a large boat, and then they made for the land; but the boat was too heavy to near the shore, conveniently, and they, therefore, quitted it for a smaller one, which capsized immediately, and left them all in water, where the four we have named, found their graves, one only, young Mr. DOPPING, escaping. We were long witness of Mr. DOPPING's conduct as a Magistrate in our petty session's courts, and a more, upright, independent, intelligent, and efficient person in the capacity we never knew. He was emphatically the poor man's friend, his advocate as well as a dispenser of justice to him. We can well understand, the state of excitement, which, our respected Arvagh correspondent tells us, existed in that town when the news reached it. It would be proof of a utter want of feeling amongst the people if they had been collected on the occasion.SUDDEN DEATH
A woman, named KAVANAGH, the wife of a pensioner, now a member of the militia, of this county, fell down as she was walking in the streets of this town on Thursday last, and died immediately. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body of the deceased next day, and, after a post mortem examination, a verdict, "died of disease of the heart," was returned.
BIRTH
On the 1st instant, at Willmont Terrace, Belfast, the wife of William THOMPSON, Esq., of the Ulster Bank, of a daughter. DEATH On the 1st instant, in Cavan, of Consumption, Christiania, the beloved wife of the Rev. Jas. HENRY, Wesleyan Minister.DEATH

UNRESERVED SALE OF A FREEHOLD PROPERTY, SITUATE IN THE MOST CENTRAL PART OF THE TOWN.THE SALESMAN begs leave to announce that he has received positive

DEATH
Died at Faragh, near Cavan, on the 13th instant, (to the inexpressible grief of his family, and regret of his numerous acquaintances) of inflammation of the bowels, Noble PAGET, Esq., aged 51 years. He was one of the best of fathers and kindest of husbands' the friend and advocate of pure and undefiled religion, and supporter of every charitable and religious institution; he was also compassionate and kind to the poor. His sudden death has created a blank in society that it will be difficult to fill up, and during his useful and active life 'he done justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly with his God.' The beck'ning angels, like the beams of day, Winged through the skies to line his bright'ning way.

SUDDEN DEATH
A woman, named CARROLL, the sister of a respectable man, a broker of that name, who resides in this town, was visited with an attack of paralysis while she was sitting at breakfast on Sunday last, and died in the evening of the same day.THE WEATHER
For the last twelve days we have had an uninterrupted drought, rather severe frosts during the night, and an intensely hot sun during the day. As might be expected in the circumstances, there has not been the least vegetation in the meantime. We are glad to say, however, that the crops are nearly all down throughout the country, and, for the last two nights, the frost has quite disappeared.THE LATE ELECTION
Reference to the petty sessions' report, which appears in another column, will show how chimerical were the fears of the writers in the Daily Express as to the truculence which would reign everywhere through this county, during and after the election. There has been no clue found yet as to who was the unfortunate wight who lost the blood whose horrible pool might be seen -- mentioned in the pages of our contemporary, nor can any of our doctors or policemen tell, who was the no less miserable fellow, whose cries as he was roasting behind his own fire, were so heartrending. It is a fact that the people have conducted themselves admirably; let us hope that their masters will not be less praiseworthy. Indeed we believe too firmly in the good sense as the generosity and honesty of purpose of the gentlemen of this county to entertain any apprehension of their persecuting a man for recording his vote, as he believed honestly; but we have heard that some "Darby O'Drives(?)" have been out noticing the tenants their victims about rent and arrears. Let them be sure they will not escape our notice, and if they attract it too much, they will gain more notoriety than they would bargain for. Low cringing fellows, those same Darbies; they have done nine-tenths of the harm, in all times, which has been attributed to landlords' again we say to them -- beware.
CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS - MONDAY, April 23
Magistrates present -- William SMYTH, Abraham BRUSH, Theophilus THOMPSON, and Joseph STOREY, Esqrs.
William HUMPHRYS, Esq., attended for a few minutes.
JOHN NEILL v PAT SMYTH
A charge of assault at Ballyhaise on the evening of the 22nd inst.James NEIL swore that he was drinking with the complainant in Mr. GILLIS's in Ballyhaise, on Sunday evening last, when an affray arose, and defendant struck complainant a blow which severely injured him, so that he was unable to appear to day, and the doctor who attended him would not give a certificate that he was out of danger.
The affray, it appears, arose out of some dispute regarding land.
The witness could not take upon him to swear that defendant used a pint measure, with which it was alleged the assault was committed.
Defendant was committed for further examination, when the complainant would be able to appear.
Mr. James FAY inquired whether bail would not be taken in the case.
Mr. HUMPHREYS -- No; no certificate will be given that the man's life is out of danger; when that is produced he may be bailed.
Mr. HUMPHREYS then left the bench.
James CLARKE a Catherine B(?X)TON A change of throwing stones at complainant in Tullyco on the 12th inst. The complainant swore to defendant striking him with stones. He first shot her hens which were upon his ground, which Mary MULLIGAN (produced?) by complainant; saw defendant coming up to complainant and meeting him; did not see her throwing stones, but saw her having a hold of the gun, as if they were 'scuffling.'
Thos. CONATY sworn -- He and Clarke saying when he shot the hens, 'there is broth for you;' did not see defendant throwing stones at him. Complaint withdrawn, an action pending for a grievous assault upon the defendant by plaintiff.
Complainant -- Well, go on with your process. D____a penny you will ever get from me if I was to lie in jail seven years for it. She called me a perjured rascal, that voted for Mr. BURROWES.
James SHERIDAN a Michael GORMLEY
James SHERIDAN examined -- on the 11th inst. was going from Cavan in a tax cart when coming near his own avenue passed several people shouting for Mr. HUGHES; came up to a gig al (sic) cart which drew up to let him pass, but one got before and one behind him, closing him up. He shouted for Mr. HUGHES, and complainant's son shouted "BURROWES, and no surrender.' They then hit (?) his horse and his son, and complainant got down out off the car and was beaten with a whip and s--s(?), while he used himself his gun, but not in a deadly way; was beaten severely; got to his own land and brought the police with him, who arrested defendant. Is sure he is the man who struck him.
GORMLEY denied the statement but said had plenty of witnesses whom he would produce at the sessions. He was not prepared to give bail.
__________ SHERIDAN -- Is Complainant's son; was with his father on the night in question; was assaulted but knows not by whom; did not see GORMLEY strike his father, but saw him on the road.
The informations were returned to the quarter sessions, and GORMLEY was at once admitted to bail, binding himself in
20 £ to appear, and finding (?) two securities in 10 £ each.
Ralph CLARK a Jane DALTON
A charge of assault by defendant with three others, whom he does not know.
Mr. THOMPSON stated that complaint was lodged with him in the case, and he ommitted (sic) DALTON for a few days until he found that CLARK was out of danger.
Complainant proved to the assault having taken place on Wednesday the 11th between five and six o'clock in the evening; identified DALTON as having been a party in it, and the man who gave him the last blow but one.
Sergeant MOORE, of Cavan infirmary, examined -- Saw the defendant in Cavan between four and five o'clock on the day in question; is sure it was not his brother he saw; knows DALTON well.
Thomas BROWN examined --- Thinks he saw defendant in Cavan on Wednesday, but is not sure that it was his brother he saw.
John KAYE was working with defendant on Wednesday, up to four o'clock. Loynehall (Moynehall?) is seven miles from Drumhowna (sic), the place where he was working at four with the defendant.
Daniel CARROLL saw defendant and his brother setting plants in his own garden between five and six o'clock; did not see either during the course of the day.
To Mr. THOMPSON -- Had no watch or clock that he might know the hour by it.
Mr. THOMPSON - It's clear the case ought at once to be sent for trial.
Mr. SMITH -- It is equally clear that when you allow a man to enter into a rebutting case you ought to hear it out.
Peter WILSON was with CLARKE when he was beaten; does not know how many were at him, but there was a great number; stopped on the road while he saw complainant beaten, but saw that it was useless to interfere for him; was summoned here by the police; knows defendant right well, and he was not one of the party.
The bench determined that this case should also be sent for trial.
Defendant -- It's a hard case to be treated this way. I have fifteen or sixteen witnesses to prove I was at home all day, and they will not be questioned.
Defendant was admitted to bail at once.
CAVAN UNION - Tuesday, April 24
Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., J.P., in the chair.
Other guardians - Messrs. Thos. REILLY, Lawrence LAMB(?), B. GAFFNEY, and Hugh BRADY.
There was little to be done but the routine business of reading the minutes of last day's proceedings and the admission of paupers, six of whom were admitted, two being the children of women at present in the jail of Cavan.
It came out that it would be necessary soon to strike a rate, as there was not more money on hands than would serve the house for a month.
The clerk was ordered to write to Mr. MAGUIRE, one of the collectors of rates, to come forward by Thursday next, and lodge with the treasurer 40£ the sum yet outstanding in his case
A letter was read from Mr. CARSON, the Apothecary to the house, asking leave of absence for a month, he undertaking to leave a duly qualified person in his place.
Granted.
The clerk suggested that it would be necessary to know who was to be his substitute. Dr. CARSON said that he was a Mr. FITZGERALD, a gentleman from Dublin.
