The Cork Examiner, 6 June 1856
   THE IRISH IN SOUTH AMERICA.—In South America, particularly in Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso, there have been, for several generations, thousands of Irish. In the former city, the Irish population is computed at 6,000. The war of independence, all through the Spanish American colonies, disclosed in brilliant light many an Irish name. Francis Burdett O'Connor, brother of the late Feargus O'Connor, resides in the Republic of Bolivia, where he owns extensive salt mines, and where he has greatly distinguished himself, both in the field and cabinet. Besides holding the rank of General, he has been twice secretary of war in the republic.

   Mr. Ella's Record for this week announces the death, in Australia, of Signor Bochsa—a man who, had he possessed more conduct and less charlatanry, might have left a permanent name in the annals of music, and not merely in Europe an ephemeral reputation, which, for better for worse, had died out long before he himself had died. Signor Bochsa was an original and brilliant harpist, allowing for a certain flashy vulgarity of taste, which seemed to cleave to all the man's doings. Some of his music for his instrument, both solo and concerted, has fancy and well invented (or adroitly borrowed) ideas.
   The Strasburg Railway has just brought to Paris for the exhibition in the Champs-Elysees about 3,000 fish from the Artificial Piscicultural Establishment formed at Huningen by the French government. They consist of salmon from the Danube, trout from the lake of Constance. These last-named have only been hatched this spring ; the salmon and trout are fourteen months old, and are 4¾ to 6¼ inches long. There are two salmon three years old, one of which is nearly 19 inches long by 13 inches in circumference. These fish are conveyed in cylindrical reservoirs made of tin, the water being renewed frequently.

(Before Sir WM. HACKETT and Mr. DONEGAN.)
Two women of the town named Margaret Ryan and Hanora Mulcahy, were charged by Constable Edwards with having stolen a watch and a sum of money to the amount of £6, from a man named M'Cormack, residing in Blackpool. The watch having been restored to the owner, he refused to prosecute for the money ; the prisoners were accordingly discharged.
Roberts v. M'Mullen
   This case, which was a claim for £22 10s., wages alleged to be due to the plaintiff whilst a seaman on board a vessel belonging to the defendant, came again before the court, having been adjourned from the previous day in order to have the case heard before Dr. Lyons and Mr. Murphy, by whom it had been originally heard. The case having been gone into before these gentlemen, they decided that the plaintiff should be paid at the rate of £3 a month, not £4 10s. as he claimed, and that the sum of £4 1s. should be deducted from it, which included the costs of a conviction obtained against the plaintiff at King George's Sound, for mutiny. They also directed that in the present case the plaintiff should be given the cost which he incurred.
   Solicitor for the prosecution—Mr. Gregg ; for the defence—Mr. Parker.
   Constable Carson appeared to prosecute Margaret Reynolds, of George's-street, for selling beer and spirits without a license. The defendant, he said, was an old offender, having been frequently convicted of the offense in that court.
   Mr. Fitzgerald—Very smooth, sir ; now, look around you, and on your oath can you point out the party you summoned?—I cannot. Do you know her at all?—I do not know her. I only know that it's Reynold's house.
   Two parties were then produced, who swore that on the evening of Tuesday, the 8th, they got porter and spirits at the house in George's-street.
   Constable Edwards knew the Reynolds lived there.
   To Mr. Fitzgerald—Does not know that Margaret Reynolds is the owner.
   Mr. Fitzgerald submitted the case should fail. The charge was that defendant sold in her house beer and spirits without a license, and it sought a penalty, and the prosecution was bound to shew who was the owner.
   The Bench though the prosecutor should prove this, and dismissed the case.

The Cork Examiner, 9 June 1856
ON Friday, the 6th inst., an inquest was held at Fort Carlisle, one of the outposts commanding the entrance to Cork Harbour, on the body of a young man named WILLIAM [WIGGINS], who had been drowned between six and seven o'clock on the previous morning while bathing in a small inlet among the rocks directly under the Fort. Deceased had entered the convict service at Spike Island, as warder, in August 1855, and from his superior literary acquirements as well as an exemplary moral character, he was soon after promoted to the situation of assistant-schoolmaster in the above prison, where he remained until about a fortnight before his death, when on the recommendation of the local authorities he was appointed by the Directors as schoolmaster in the Fort Carlisle Reformatory Prison. By his zeal and efficiency in the discharge of his duties both as warder and schoomaster, deceased had won for himself the esteem and approbation of all the authorities of the prison. He was a native of the County Cavan, and a young man of the highest respectability and most blameless moral and religious character. His death is deeply lamented by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances.
CITY SESSIONS—FRIDAY
THERE was only one case before the Recorder this day.
   The prisoner, Mary Corkery, who was charged with stealing a half-hundred weight of flour, the property of Mr. Anglin, Kyrl's-quay, was defended by Mr. M. J. Collins, and acquited.
POLICE OFFICE—SATURDAY
——————
(Before Mr. DONEGAN.)
A SAILOR boy named Robert Holmes charged Winifred M'Donogh, an inhabitant of Godsil's-lane, with having stolen from him on Friday night some articles of wearing apparel.
   Informations were ordered.
   Three young men, well-known pickpockets, were charged by Sub-Constable Connolly with having been concerned in the robbery of a quantity of clothes from the house of Mr. O'Sullivan, Bachelor's Quay.
   They were remanded until further information could be obtained respecting them.
   Sub-Constable Connolly also brought before the bench, a sturdy, but rather good-looking girl, named Mary Anne Love, charged by a boy named John Haly with having threatened to take his life.
   The complainant proved to the offence, and said that she had been waiting outside the court to put her threat into execution. In answer to the bench the complainant stated that the prisoner had no other cause of enmity towards him than his having given evidence against one of the young men who were charged with the robbery of Mr. O'Sullivan's house.
   Mr. Donegan directed the prisoner to find bail to be of the peace, herself in £10, and two respectable sureties in £5 each, or go to gaol for two months.
   The prisoner, who seemed during the hearing of the charge against her to be “brewing a storm,” immediately on hearing the sentence pronounced, seized the boy by the collar of his coat, and was about proceeding further, when she was, with difficulty, extricated from him. She was then removed to the dock, but Mr. Donegan having desired her to be again brought before him, Sub- constable Connolly went to bring her up. He, however, had no sooner laid his hand on her than she dealt him a smart blow on the side of the face, and two other constables who came to his assistance fared no better. The three, however, after giving and taking a few cuffs, succeeded in bringing her before Mr. Donegan, who imposed on her the additional punishment of hard labour for her conduct towards the constables and complainant.
THIS DAY.
(Before Captain WHITE, the MAYOR, and Captain POLLOCK.)
   The parties charged with breaking into the house of Mr. Sullivan, Bachelor's Quay, were brought up, having been remanded since Saturday. It was stated that one of the prisoners was a return convict, having but recently returned from Spike. There being no proof of their being concerned in the burglary for which they were arrested, Captain White ordered them to be sent to gaol and informations taken against them as vagrants.
   Informations were ordered against a young man named Caleb Cambridge, for stealing a saw which he pawned for 2s. at Mr. Crone's, North Main Street.
   A number of cabmen were charged by the Inspector of gingles, with having the number defaced, their cars off the stand, bad harness, with not having licenses &c., and fined in sums varying from 6d. to 5s. 0d.

The address and plate will be presented at the next assizes.—Waterford Mail.

INDIA, CHINA AND AUSTRALIA
   TRIESTE, SUNDAY.—The steamer Australia arrived today. She left Alexandria 3d June.
   The Indian mail arrived at Alexandria 3d June.
   The Australian mail arrived at Alexandria, and was to leave that port on the 5th inst., bringing intelligence from Calcutta to the 4th May, and Bombay to the 12th.
   There is also news from Melbourne by way of Ceylon to 25th March.
   Trade in India was generally dull, but there was a good demand for shipping, and the Cotton market was active. Exchange at Bombay was at 2s. 1 5/8d., and at Calcutta at 2 3/8. The money market was tight. The price of gold at Melbourne had risen to £3 18s. 6d. per oz. The exchange on London was at 2 per cent. premium. The coinage at the new South Wales Mint was carried on at a loss of ½ per cent. to the colony. The shipments from Melbourne in the week ending March 28th include 60,827 oz. and 20,000 in specie by the Morning Star, bound to Bristol ; 46,272 oz. of gold with 111,000 in specie by the George Marshall, bound to London. The amount of the shipments made to England during five weeks are no less than 370,000 oz. of gold and 35,000 in specie. The gold fields are yielding more than ever of late at nearly £20,000,000 per annum, the produce of the first three months of 1855. Trade at Melbourne continues steady. The balance is in favour of the colony. The value of the exports for five weeks ending 19th being £1,917,320 against an amount of £1,400,000 in deposits. The price of all the necessaries of life are more moderate and the want of labourers being generally felt. Emigrants from Ireland are invited to come over.
   In New South Wales as well as in the Province of Victoria it appears that the attempts to bring the constitutional system of responsible government into working order have not in the first instance been very successful.

The Cork Examiner, 16 June 1856
THE FROME BOROUGH.—The Earl of Cork and Ossery was in such a precarious state of health on Tuesday morning that he was not expected to live throughout the day.—The decease of the noble earl would elevate his eldest son, Viscount Dungarvan, to the peerage, and would create a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Frome. In anticipation of the event the electioneering agents on both sides, with the worst taste in the world, are preparing for a contest. Major Boyle, son of a former member, and Mr. Donald Nicoll, ex-sherriff of London, are spoken of as the probable candidates.
THE LATE EXECUTION AT CAVAN.—A declaration was posted at the chapel last Sunday, signed by Hugh Brady, of Creehan, to the effect that he had not acted as hangman at the execution of Dunne and Murphy. It was countersigned by Robert Erskine, Esq., J.P., who added that he had reason to believe it to be correct. Whoever the functionary was, the High Sherriff of some northern county gave him 1s. to drink after he had done his work, and received from, in return, a piece of the rope to treasure as a memento. —Anglo Celt.
