His movements were soon perceived , and the alarum being rung , several of the turnkeys were immediately on the look-out .

Loan Eglintos ' s Irish Policy . —Addresses of congratulation on his appointment to the Viceroyalty of Ireland were presented to his Excellency the Earl of Eglinton on Monday by deputations from Trinity College and the Corporation of Dublin . The replies of his Excellency have given great satisfaction to the citizens of all parties and ranks . His response to a passage in the corporation address respecting the Whig design of abolishing the office of Lord Lieutenant is regarded as a proof of his determination to guard and cherish the institutions and the true interests of the country . The first deputation consisted of the Provost , Fellows , Scholars , and Students of Trinity College , numbering about 1 , 000 persons , and was perhaps the most numerous that ever attended on a similar occasion . As soon as they
had assembled , his Excellency , the Earl ofEglintoi ) , entered the Presence Chamber , and received them in the most cordial and friendly manner . The Rev . Dr . Luby having read the address , his Excellency read a reply , in which he said : — " I have no official fame , and but little political experience to recommend me ; but , if an earnest desire to ameliorate the social position of Ireland , to stimulate her energies , to promote her interests , and to conciliate her internal dissenaitflis—if a firm determination to pursue a straight and honest course , uninfluenced by private considerations or irresponsible advisers , should enable me , in some measure , to overcome the difficulties which surround my path , then , and not till then . I will boast of the confidence you repose in me , and look back with pride to the reception of this address . "You say most truly , that while illiberal prejudices
should be discouraged , the cause of religion and virtue must be upheld ; that while salutary changes should be acceded to , rash innovations must be avoided ; that while the spirit of constitutional liberty should be our guide , and the rights of conscience respected , the interests of those great and good institutions which belong to us should be fostered , and the Majesty of the law upheld . " The Lord Mayor read the address of the corporation , in which allusion was made to the contemplated abolition of the Viceroyalty . His Excellency in reply assured the deputation that he would have opposed any measure framed for that object . He then said : — " I knnw that others far better qualified by their talents , their acquirements , and their political experience have failed before me , in establishing peace and happiness in this country , and the difficulties in the way of
success are enough to make the stoutest heart quail ; but I will hope almost against hope , that a land so fair in its aspect , so rich in its soil , so temperate in its climate , will not always remain waste—that a people so warm-hearted and so full of genius will not always remain at variance with each other—and that Ireland may soon become contented and prosperous among nations . Feeling assured as I do that no country can thrive where life and property are insecure , while I seize on all opportunities which may present themselves for the encouragement of the skill and enterprise of the people , I shall endeavour to suppress the outrages which are unhappily so prevalent in some districts with all the power which the law affords me . I feel confident that these views will meet with your approval ; and that in Carrying them out I shall have the assistance of all who wish well to their country , whatever may be their religious creed or political opinions . " The deputation then withdrew . Attempt to Shoot Pierce Creagh , Esq . —On Sunday night Pierce Creagh . Esq ., justice of the peace of county
Clare , was fired at whilst returning to his residence from Clonmoney , where he had spent tho evening . He ivas supposed to be a most popular gentleman , so much so that it was generally reported he would be nominated for the county at the next election . He is , we believe , a Roman Catholic , but not an advocate for the present Free Trade system . Several slugs were lodged in the car in which he rode , but happily neither himself nor the driver received any injury . It is supposed the immediate cause of this diabolical outrage is the fact of Mr . Creagh ' s having taken some land from which a tenant was lately removed . The Lord-Likctenant ' s First Levee . —His Excellency the Earl of Eglinton held his first levee at Dublin Castle , on Tuesday . It was numerously and' brilliantly attended .

The Magistracy . — David Harrel , Esq ., of Downpatrick ; Parker George Synnot , of Baltymoyer , county Armagh ; J . Richardson , Esq ., Poplar Vale , Monaghan ; H . Hawksbaw , Esq ., of Dromore , have been appointed magistrates of their respective counties . The Ddelin and Belfast Junction Railway . — Speaking of the Craigmore viaduct the '' Newry Examiner " says : — " This stupendous undertaking has been , within the last few days , completed . The last arch was ' keyed' on the loth inst . The viaduct , which is situated within a short distance of Newry , presents a truly magnificent appearance . It contains eighteen arches , each of sixty feet span , and the arch across the ravine is loO feet from the foundation to the top—the remaining heights are from ninety to 100 feet . "

Although every exertion was made , the bodies of his two companions were not got out until two hours after the accident—when , it is almost needless to state , life was found completely extinct . —Scotsman .
