The subscriptions to the O'Connell Annuity collected in nine parishes in Dublin, on Sunday last, amounted to L3.591. 6s. To this sum considerable additions are expected ; and when other places, in- cluded in the metropolitan districts, have contributed, the total, it is estimated, will exceed 1,600/. The average receipts in Dublin during the last four years have been 1,936/. In the Cork districts, the collec- tion was 600/. ; in Belfast, 170/. ; Enniscorthy, 100/. ; Tipperary, 70/. ; Navan, 70/. To these sums considerable additions will be made. Dr. Murray sent 10/. to the Dublin collection.
The clergy of the diocese of Limerick assembled in the Cathedral of th, t city on Saturday, and agreed unanimously to a petition against the Irish Church Bill, recently brought forward by Ministers. The clergy of several other dioceses are about to meet for the same pur- pose.
About 1000 persons from the counties of Sligo, Leitrim, and Done- gal, principally it is said tenants of Colonel Cottony, assembled on Sunday morning and destroyed the nets, boats, mid other implements for catching salmon belonging to a Mr. Hector at Kildorey. Mr. Hector's nets, it would seem, would have injured the Ballyshannon salmon-fishery, by which many of the rioters gained a living.
