BARNEY GEOGHEGAN, THE IRISH MEMBER.

St. Stephen's April isfc 18—. It was Father O'Swill, at the instigashun of the Divil himself, an' no other —for its an infernal schrape I'm in threw his inter fairencc —got me to this place, an' I only wish I was well out ov it, with me head on me shoulders an' me me meney in me pockets, an' no conshtituents to the fore whin Igo back to me native land. Sorra a day is it but I get a letther askin for assisthance, or a free order on Geoghegan—which, by the^'fTTs, I'd like to see the " bearer " er at the bar at Roshkillen ' *.

I say it was Father o'S*ilV, niay t) c d~-» —I mane the saints— av.w.f-, ._ — par d" shli P ov the toniJ^^con foriuf' , that took hould ovme aS com pellcti' ac to stand for Parliment for the anshunt borra ov Rashkillen, intheCounty Slyo; by the same token the place where whin Sir David McSwaney was standhin agen Captain Tranter, the English agent ovtheMolloy esthates, the bhoys, havin adjourned the elecshun by carryin away the hustins an' drownin theoffishuls in the black pool o' Slomore, there was what they called a parlimintary inquiry, I remim ber the thing well, for though I was only sixteen years ov age, I followed the oowed that did it, and saw the whole of the pro sadings at a disfchance, though I regret to say I wasn't able to identify any of the perpethraitors. Iver since that time till the last elecshun, by the blessin ov God and the faithful oversight ov Father O'Swill, we've had quiet eleosbuns, seem no body venthured to stan but his nominee.

As bad luck would have it, immejitly afther Parliment met, our mimber, The O'Swagger—pace be to his sowl—died from natheral causes his horse having taken a ditch, an' a hedge, and a nice bit ov stone wall, but finding a hape of stones beyant that agen, was unable to surmount all the obstacles, an' knocked O'Swagger's head with the little brains he had in it, poor fellow, into worse than smithereens. O'Swagger was a Home Buler, an' regu larly voted with siviu other pathroits for the Eepale ov the Union, an' a Parlimint at Colledge Green. He also took an ac tive part in the Pope's brigade, which, Fa ther O'Swill says, is the only Christian body in the Houses Parliment—but I doubt if iver he has seen them on the spot. No sooner was poor O'Swagger undher the sod than the Eashkiilonites began to quarrel over his grave—worse luck to me.

Mr. Eufus Delaney, who owned half the buira, an' the whole ov the adjacent mountain ov Drumcarn, with the esthate of that name, immejitly isshued an address in the Protesthant interest, declaring him self in favour ov the National system of eddicashun, an' agenst Home Rule. There wasn't a sowl in the naborhood, the O'Swagger being dead, to oppose him, an* the reputashun of the borra. after the Sic more tragedy, was so hoigh, that no sthran ger would venthur to put his nose in it, so there was ivery chance of Delaney bein returned without opposishun. Father O'- Swill was in a d of a fury. He cursed Delaney from the althar in a way that made his own tinants thremble for his futur, let alone time bein. He wrote to Dublin beggin the Amnesty Assoshiasr hun or the Home Eule Committe to sind down a gintleman an' a pathriot to con test the place on their own principles, but there wasn't wen ov them fool enough to come to the fore an' put his head or his feet in his grave, whativer the principle. Thin he wrote to London for an English man, knowin, from former exparience, that they were open to convicshun in cases like the prisent, an' niver rightly esthimated the dangers of Oirish society. But the place was too nothorius. Though he tried all the barristhers, even they would not risk a visit, " just to inspect it," as Father O'Swill had politely put the invitashun. Twas only wan day before tbe nomina shun, when, as bad luck would have it, I was carryin in from the well a bucket or two ov pure water, just to modhify the sthrength ov the potheen, which was too much above proof for any Christhian to dhrink it, who should come up but his riv erence himself, an' says he : " Barney," says he. " this is a bad busi ness. Here's this thraitorous ; (he em ployed another word before that, but is it for me lo be informing the Supreme powers ov the little wakeness ov one ov their own s^rvints?) here's this thraitorous land scba_j|[e," says he, " puttin up for Parli ment against me will, an' to be returned to-morra forenoon, an' me for thirty years," says he, " the only maa that iver venthured to nominate a candidhate for the borra of Eashkillen ! Eaix," says he, "I'd loike to see the bhoy of yes will nominate him" says he. " that's all. But," says he, " look here, Barney, since there's no one else, we must nominate you, and you must go to St. Stevens aud advicate Home Bule and Catholic eddicashun.

'« Faith," says I, " it's little I know ov wan or the other ! For Molly's the wan that rules within thim four walls, as yer riverence doesn't nade. to be towld, an as far Cathilic eddicashun, yer riverence, I've nad enuff ov that same in the usual way ov niver bein troubled with any." "Nonsense," says he; "I don't mane that. I'm spakin ov matters more sarious and importhant than your quarrels with Molly Geohegan an' the three It's, Just lave that to me. I'll put ye up to what's required. Undherstan now, I'm going to propose ye to-morra to be returned to the House ov Commons, as mimber for Eash killen, Vice The'O'Swagger, Esquire, de gased—God help him!—an' it shall be at small expinse if yell take my advice. Ye're pretty well aquainted with all the bhoys about here; indade," says he, " for that matter they're all ov them better ac ~ painted with yer shebeen than with the irish church -'tis a wakeness of the

farm Orish nater—but just send down in' ask as many as can spare the time to meet me here to-night, an' I'll talk to them about it. An', look here, Barney," says he, " it'll be a dhry buisnes discussin the political sithuation, so, Barney,", gays he with a wink, "see ye have as much wather ready as there are pots to hould it in case I see me way to proposin yer health,' says he. An,' manetime, I'll step in an' have an interview with Molly and make her all right, for mebe she'd be expressin her ashtonishment in a desedi fyin manner if we did it without.notis. An'3ee, Barney," says he, "mix me a jhorum in the big tumbler on the too shelf at the right side, where Molly always kapei it ready for me an' bring it till me to the small parlor doore, for I'm .thinkin

I'll nade all me wits about me for the in therview." * | So in he went, an' called Molly to the" small parlor, an' I mixed him a comfortha ble j borum an' just stuck it in at the doore, for I heard Molly a schreechin an' goin on like a wild tiger, an' his riverence to the fore ! but I saw his hand take in the tod dy, an' heard no more till, about an hour afther, Father O'Swill shouted to me from the parlour doore. " Barney," says he." ye may mix me an other glass," says he, " an' don't be so squamish with the crather, an if ye have iver a lemon in the house," says he, "just put a slip ovit in, for I'm thinkin I've a touch of the bile. An' thin come here," says he, " an' be introduced to Misthress Molly Geoghegan, that to-morra night will be Lady Geoghegan, wife of the Mimber for Rashkillen." I Faith, sure enough, whin I enthered with the thumbler, Molly threw herself on me neck, an' cried, an' whined, an' bid God speed, an' afther wipin her eyes in her petticoat, she runs away to make prepar ashuns for the business of the evenin. Didn't the bhoys turn up in the evenin, mighty thrue to time, that's all! Sure they were to the fore to the tune ov sevaral huntherds, let alone frens an' acquaan tanees, who happenedto be voisitin them from the surroundhin disthriets. Faith, if they'd only be dhrinkin at their own ex pinse, it's myself wouM be glad to see them ivery day ov the wake in the same numbers, an' conshuming the same quantities. (To be conthied.)

THESPIS.

AT THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE,

There will he a novel and entertaining performance this evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre, which promises to be un usually attractive. The title of the enter tainment is Thespis, who is. represented in Greek history as the inventor of Greek tragedy at Athens. The piece, however, to be presented this evening does not appear in any way associated with the life of Thespis, but will be of more modern interest. The programme spreads out a goodly feast, at which we may have imaginary or spiritistic glimpses of the shadoWy forms of Charles Kean, Walter Montgomery, and Gustavus Brooke; we shall also have the privilege of seeing, almost to life Dillon, Jefferson, Fawcett, Avonia Jones, Arabella Goddard, and other living characters. We would remind our readers that this unique entertainment is for two nights only.

THE FREIGHT COMPANY.

The shareholders of the Auckland Freight Company heldaspecialgeneralmeetingyester day, at their office, Vaile's buildings, Dr Camp bell in the chair. There was a good attend ance of shareholders. Mr John Batger, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meet ing, which were confirmed, and a letter from Messrs Houlder, Bros., of Leadenhall-street, offering their assistance in carrying out the original intentions of the Freight Company, considering, in their letter to the Board, "that it will be a great advantage if you can secure the co-operation of a powerful loading house here, which is known to have the power and ability to carry on the business with vigour ; and if you should be of tlie same opinion, we should be very happy to place our services at your disposal, and if you choose to place the matter in our hands we have no doubt of its being a great permanent success. We would be quite willing to leave the terms upon which we should act to you, feeling assured our identity of interests would easily enable us to make an arrangement mutually, satisfactory to all concerned." The Chairman then read the report, which is published in full in the morning papers. Mr Dargaville moved the adoption of the report ; and, in doing so, spoke in strong terms of the manner in which they had been betrayed by Owen & Graham. The Chairman and Mr J, M. Clarke also spoke of the manner in which Mr Graham had workedagainst thecompanyin London. Mr S. Jones, Captain Daldy, the Mayor, and others spoke to the-motion, all strongly condemning the conduct of those .who had played false to the company. Mr H. Isaacs also spoke in strong terms of those two firms—Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co., and Messrs Owen & Graham— who had abandoned their position of support to the movement, characterising the conduct of the former as less dishonorable Jdran that" of Owen and Graham. The-Teppirt was unanimously adopted, the bond signed again by those who were present, and the most firm deteritu^ation expressed to carry out the original intention of the Freight Company

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY. (Before Thomas Beckham, Esq.) PETTY LARCENY.

Jane O'Halleron was charged with stealing the sum of 7s 2d, the property of Lewis Kelly. The prisoner, who was accompanied into Court by a little boy, denied" the charge, and alleged that the money was her own. The offence was proved by Lucy Brown, a servant of Mr KeUy, who saw the prisoner take the money. i . In reply to the Bench the prisoner said she was mother of eight children, and the child with her now was four years old. Sergeant Pardy said the child would be sent to the Industrial School if the prisoner was convicted. ~, A , The Court said that it appeared that the prisoner went into the restaurant, and asked to be given a breakfast, alleging she had no money, and in return for the kindness immediately accorded her she had robbed her benefactor. -._.._ The sentence of the Court would be two months' imprisonment with hard labour. Sergeant Pardy then applied for an order for the child's admission to the Industrial Schoolj-which was granted on the necessary evidence being adduced. The order was made for four" years.

Signor Donato, the Celebrated one-legged dancer, is announced to appear in a farewell performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Tuesday next. Since his last perform ance here he has made a most successful tour through the Southern provinces, everywhere creating alike amusement and astonishment at his performances. Lovers of the poetry of motion should not neglect this opportunity of witnessing its perfection under difficulties.

At the Union-street Free Methodist Church, to-morrow, sermons will be preached by the Rev, G. H, Turner on "The Paradise of God" and " Can man know his sins for given ?"

The Millennium has commenced in Oxford. We have not yet heard thatth© lion has laid down with the lamb in the High-street, or that the process of turning swords into ploughshares has been seen in operation. We cannot even venture to say that " town and gown " riots are wholly things of the past, orjthat under graduates have taken to pay their tailor's bills. Nevertheless, the Millennium has undoubtedly commenced, for the white flag waves triumphantly over Oxford Gaol, the said gaol being entirely empty. We learn that not a few of the inhabitants of the city have seized the opportunity to see the inside of a prison. Let us hope that the officials have not made things too " comfortable all round," lest if we should be mistaken, and the Millennium has not commenced, the responsibility of the sin of the first man who causes the white flag to be hauled down should be laid at their doors.

One pound of green copperas dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a water-closet, will effectvally concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. On board ships and steamboats, about hotels and other public plaoes, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas dissolved under the bed in any thing that will hold water, will render an hospital, or other place for the sick, free from unpbasant smells. For butchers' stalls, fishmarkets, slaughterhouses, sinks "and whatever there are offensive, putrid gasses, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about, and in a few days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat, or mouse dies about the house, and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved cop peras in an open vessel near the place where the nuisance is, and it will soon purify the atmosphere.

In getting the signatures I avoided asking for the names of those gentlemen who formed the Special Jury, of which the Hon.
