It is no doubt this that has been the stumbling block in the way of Gorerament in dealing with the matter, but by the display of a little tact and firmnëse it might have been able by means of the ordinance to deprive the kongassa of ons of their principal sources of support, and at the suas time remove one of the inost fruitful causes of the quarrels that are constantly arising between these lawless organisations. By ita vuoillation, the Goverment is allowing the societies to perceive their power, and they are getting holder and holder, while not only one law, but all our laws, are derided and anghed at by their members. The Executive is strong enough, and could count upon au foient eupport from, the well disposed portion of the inhabi tants to carry out uuy just meseore in defance of the kangscess but by passiogn stringent law, and then not daring to give it even a trial, the Government betrays a want of confidence in itself, the surest way of destroying confidence in it among the people.

A case of alleged boating, referred to at the latest sitting of the Central Criminal Court, was partially investigated yesterday, at Warship street, when Edward Kelley, describ. ed sa solicitor's clerk, was charged with baring obtained money by falso pretences. The bearing bad not been brought to a aloka at the rising of the court.
The trial of Kelly for the murder of Hend- constable Talbot was resumed in Dublin yes terday. A considerable portion of the day was oconpied in a legal argoment as to the admisi bility of evidence ending to show that the sargical treatment to which Talbot had been subjected was not prepar, and that it had at least accelerated, if not contributed to bis death.
A French paper, the Courrier Diplomatique. recently published a Sommunicatior from one of ita correspondents respecting projected alliance between England and Franes, the terms of which, It was alleged, Lord Cowley bad communicated to Mr. Rouber at the in- et eo of Earl Rossell.
