The Honourable Colonel Butler, M. P., has been restored to

his rank us Deputy-Lieutenant and Magistrate of Kilkenny.

On the night of Wednesday sennight, another attempt was made to injure the statue of King William, in College Green. Some black liquid, resembling ink, it is supposed, must have been injected through a large garden-syringe, or perhaps the hose of a small fire-engine, on the figure ; but the Policemen on duty were unable to give any account of the time when or the manner how the defilement was effected. An in- vestigation has taken place before the Magistrates, but no one has been implicated in the transaction. The constables upon duty round this statue have been reprimanded, with an injunction to be wore vigilant for the future.
