The new mayoralty of Dublin will be most splendidly inaugurated by 'Air. Guinness, on the 21st of January, with a banquet, at which the Lord-Lieutenant has consented to lend the honour of his presence.
The office conferred on Mr. Woulfe Flanagan, last week stated on the authority of the 2'imes .to be. an additional Commiseionership in the En- cumbered Estates Court, was that of Master, not of Assistant Commis- sioner. Baron Richards has, since the creation of the new office, ex-

The Dublin Psnemaresiourna/ states that a circular has:been addressed to Members of the ,Pnere.ef Commons connected with Ireland, suggest- ing the propriety of formally declaring an intention " to oppose by every constitutional meanp say measure tending to interfere by legislative en- actment with-the, discipline or, doctrine cf any portion of the Queen's sub- jects." The sponscirs to the inanifestoare Mr. M'Cullagh, the Protestant M.P. for Dundalk, Mr. Devereux and Mr. 0',Flaherty, the Catholic Mem, hers for Wexford and Galway. , The Dublin Evening Post has the following in reference to the Queen's College in Galway, the centre of the Ultramontane opposition to mixed education-
" We are glad to find that the prospects of this institution are far more cheering than its most sanguine friends could have 'expected. The College has been open little more than,a year, and nearly a hundred students have already matriculated. ,M the entrance examinations of the present year, twenty-five students Were admitted; of these about one-half are Catholics. The principle of milord' education is therefore holding on its triumphant course, even in those, districts where the opposition to it has been most active and unscrupulous!'
