AMPUTATION OF LEG UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CHLOROFORM. - We are informed that Catherine CLARKE, an inmate of The Bailieborough union workhouse, underwent amputation of a leg for cancer on Tuesday, the 24th ult., in the workhouse infirmary of that union. The interesting and serious operation was performed by James Taylour, Esq., medical officer of the Bailieborough union workhouse. Under the full and beneficial influence of chloroform the patient remained perfectly insensible to every sense of pain during every stage of the operation and is now going on well. Near the village of Stotfield are rocks known as "Sheepie's Silver Rocks," popularly supposed to contain silver ore. Some eighty years ago a mine was actually begun there for silver, and the works were carried on for some time, though without much profit. At last a labourer was accidentally killed at the works, and operations were forthwith abandoned. In the course of last year a mining firm in London and the Isle of Man hard that lead ore was to be found in that neighbourhood of Stotfield, and they sent down a person to survey and report. He selected a sample of the ore, and on analysis it has been found to contain only a small portion of silver, but as much as seventy-five per cent of lead. - Inverness Courier.

Thomas DONNARD and Mary SMITH were then indicted for the manslaughter of Margaret PLUNKETT, on the 5th October last, at Ballybay. The prisoners were acquitted. His Lordship having sentenced the priseners (sic), adverted to the state of the county, expressed his satisfaction at the absence of any wanton outrages, and having called up the high constables, cautioned them with regard to the jurors' lists. An application for the discharge of the KELLY's charged with the murder of Mr. BATESON was refused. The prisoner MURPHY was admitted to bail - himself in £50. and two sureties in £25. each. The result of the recent examinations of direct cadets for the East Indian Company's service, under the newly-established regulations, is, that one third of the number have been sent back for further preparation. At the Horse Guards, we are informed, the proportion of rejected candidates is at least one half. - Home News. KELLS AND CAVAN RAILWAY.
