"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, October 28, 1852 SUMMARY OF NEWS. The Irish constabulary are now obliged to have recourse to "recruiting" in different parts of the country, in order to fill up the numerous vacancies caused by the continued emigration of the force to the United States, Australia, &c. Until very lately, young men were obliged to be highly recommended on a list for many months previous to an appointment in the constabulary; but the general emigration has drained the country of nearly all the fine, athletic young men of this class. Large numbers of respectable people have this week again passed from Dublin to Liverpool and London, in order to procure a passage for Sydney, Port Philip, &c. The use of peat charcoal, or peat partially charred, is again recommended in pitting potatoes, as it was in 1845 and 1846. The Waterford exports for the week included 1,462 bales of Bacon, 14 barrels of pork, 2,078 cwts. of butter, 162 cwts. of lard, 7,561 barrels of oats, 1,165 barrels barrels of barley, 538 cwts. of flour, 360 cwts. of oatmeal, 535 pigs, 374 cows, 54 sheep, sundry cases of fish, fruit, poultry, eggs &c.

THE MARTIN ESTATES. - The nominal owner (for a short time) of this property, Mr. Gowne Bell MARTIN, has entered the Cape Mounted Riflemen as Ensign.
