The Church.--Down and Connor Church Extension Society.--The amount of subscriptions now reaches nearly thirteen thousand pounds--a sum which, whether we look to the readiness with which it has been given, the liberality of the contributors, or the purposes of its appropriation, redounds to the glory of the Protestants of Ulster.--Belfast Chronicle.

=========================

Gannon, the murder of Worrell, has been apprehended and brought into this town for identification. There is not now the least doubt (if such at all existed) but that he is the murderer, for his is apparelled in the clothes which he stripped off of his ill-fated victim, after the perpetration of the horrible crime.--Nenagh Guardian.

=======================

The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to appoint Captain Thomas Coote of Ballyclarin, a Deputy Lieutenant for the County Monaghan.

========================

Hickey and Walsh, for the murder of Cooper and Wayland, were executed on Wednesday last.

======================

Arrest of Anthony Murphy.

This offender, who was accused and tried for the murder of Mr. James Rowland of Ballybay, brother to the governor of our county prison, was arrested on Monday last, with arms in his possession, which had the previous night been forcibly plundered from the house of a farmer at Maheracloon in the county. Besides the gun with which he was armed when taken into custody, four other guns were found in his house, all supposed to have been procured in some way. The circumstances of the heinous crime of murder for which this fellow was tried, and yet stands out on recognizances from want of sufficient evidence, are yet fresh in the minds of our readers, yet strange to say, this man, unacquitted of the horrible accusation, was recommended to the situation of police constable, by a gentleman high among the liberals of the county—and who does not reside one hundred miles from Carrickmacross. A pretty pet for the liberals, this—a true specimen of what things would come to if they had their own way. Murphy has been fully committed for trial at the next assizes.

=======================

Apprehension of the Murderer of Lord Norbury.

We believe we may at last announce that the murderer is in custody. A letter was received here on Sunday, written by a gentleman residing near Durrow, which states, that the villain who instigated to the murder had turned approver, and that the man who fired the shot had just been taken into town by the Police. The letter adds, that he is a Tipperary labourer, and “no neatly finished boot gentleman.” The Magistrates had been in possession of the information for some days, but there was difficulty in finding the prisoner.--Cork Constitution.
