A county meeting has been called at Maryborough to adopt

a con- gratulatory address to the Marquis of Lansdowne, on his arrival in the Queen's County.

The Orange Mayor elect for Cork, whose appointment the Lord. Lieutenant and Council lately refused to sanction, has not been re- elected, though the Cork Orangemen swore by his Sacred Highness the Duke of Cumberland that they would send back his name to his Excellency. The two individuals formerly returned as Sheriffs were, however, reelected. A memorial against the return was then for- warded. The case was brought before the Privy Council, last week. The agent for the memorialists, on being asked if he was ready to proceed in proof of the charges in the memorial, said he would be ready on Saturday. He was then requested to give in a list of his witnesses ; which he did. The :Council, after consulting for some time, confirmed the appointments. The leading obnoxious personage, the late Mayor elect, has thus been got rid of; and we can only wish that the two Sheriffs elect had been sent back once more to their con- stituen ts. —Northern Whig.

On Monday week, the Reverend Edward Croker, of Croom, accom- panied by a large party of police and military, proceeded to the lands of Donoman, Adare, in this county, the property of Mr. Matthew O'Flaherty. there to seize under an execution for tithes. On arriving there, they found no stock ; and then proceeded to the adjoining farm, belonging to a man named Butler, where, seeing a number of sheep marked with initials corresponding with Mr. O'Flaherty's name, upon this presumption they seized forty sheep and three cows. The people now assembled in large numbers, but conducted themselves very quietly. On Mr. Flaherty's questioning the legality of proceeding to another's property to execute the writ, and demanding Mr. Croker•s authority for so doing, this reverend campaigner pulled a pistol from his pocket and exclaimed, " This is my authority : • he then took ano- ther pistol out and said, " If that is not sufficient, I have still further here."—Limerick Star.

An attempt was made to sell the sheep and cows in Limerick ; but at an early hour placards were posted throughout the town, upon almost every wall and door-way, of which the following is a copy. " Tithes stained with the blood of Irishmen. Parson Croker has distrained for tithes the cows and sheep of Mr. Flaherty, of Croom, which are to be sold this day by public auction, in Henry Street. Will any one purchase, and thereby uphold this iniquitous impost? The blood shed at Rathcormac answers that no man will." The police were very active in defacing and tearing these placards down ; but a vast crowd, notwithstanding, gathered to the place of sale. The auction took place at the specified hour. Muny clerical and other gentlemen of great respectability were present to witness the proceedings. The various lots, however, found no bidders ; and, in the end, the Reverend Mr. Croker himself purchased the whole at nominal prices, and made them a present to the House of Industry.
