DEATH OF BERNARD CAVANAGH, THE FASTING
MAN.—This individual, who three or four years since excited some attention in the metropolis, by professing to exist without sustenance, liquid or solid, expired on Sabbath last, in rucoat’s-lane, in his 32d year. He had recently kept a huckster’s shop, in which he had failed. He had gone by an assumed name, and his right one did not transpire till shortly before his death. His brother, who was with him when he exhibited in London, was present. The deceased was of parsimonious habits, and often reduced to great extremities, but has left money in bank.—Dublin paper.

===================

The weather for the past week has been most favorable for harvest purposes, although a keen air has prevailed. Reaping has commenced on the Palace farm, and we understand, in other places throughout the county. The harvest promises to be most abundant.

===================

PRICE OF BREAD.—The 4lb. loaf is now raised to 8d. in this city.

===================

RIPE OATS AND BARLEY.—The finest sample of ripe Siberian oats and golden drop barley, we have ever beheld, have been sent us by Mr. JOHN ALLAN, and grown on the Palace farm. The barley and oats were
shorn last week, and fully ripe. They were grown on thorough-drained land of last year’s draining, which, we understand, adds greatly to the early maturity of any crop. The samples lie for inspection at our office.

===================

In the case of HEATH a. HEATH, we understand an appeal has been made by the impugnant to the Court of Delegates.

The Leitrim Grand Jury have presented a complimentary address, with £50, to Robert Stewart, of Drumderig, farmer, for his gallant repulse of a ribbon gang, who attacked his house.

===================

CAPTURE OF THREE MOLLY MAGUIRES IN GLEN, COUNTY CAVAN.

Sergeant Gibson, of the Glenfarn station, proceeded to Glen, on the night of the 11th instant, with a strong party of police, and after ranging the mountains for seventeen hours, succeeded in capturing three persons, John and Lawrence Dolan, and John M’Loughlin, together with a large quantity of ammunition, and one of the yeoman muskets taken some time ago by this lawless party. The gun has been registered bearing No. 1334, the above parties were afterward marched to Manorhamilton, where they were examined before N. Loftus Tottenham, Esq., and H. H. Wades, Esq., R.M., who had them committed for trial. N. Loftus Tottenham, Esq., kindly ordered dinner in Gerne’s Commercial Hotel, Manorhamilton, for the constabulary who had been out on this harassing duty.—(From a Correspondent.)

===================

TWELFTH OF AUGUST IN ARMAGH.—There was no procession or public demonstration held in this city, or, as far as we have learned, in the county, in commemoration of this glorious anniversary. Our city was filled with soldiers, for whom there was not least occasion, nor do we know at whose instance they were brought here.

===================

IRISH COLLEGES.—It will be seen elsewhere, by an extract from the Evening Post of Thursday last, that the deputation from this city which waited on his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, on the subject of obtaining the establishment of a college in our city, was most favorably and auspiciously resolved.

===================

(From our Enniskillen Correspondent.)

   A KNOWING THIEF.—On the 1st instant, four year old heifers, the property of one HUGH COX, were stolen off the lands of Cavanacross, near the demesne of Castle Coole, county Fermanagh. The thief drove them to Fivemiletown, a short distance from which he obtained grazing from a respectable man named DAVID GRAHAM, for them till 1st November, at which time it is supposed he thought all search would have ended, and by payment of the grazing money have had the booty. We are happy to add they were discovered, and returned to the owner.

    NEW BARRACKS AT BELLEEK.—A new barracks is immediately to be built at Belleek, in this county, by order of government. Our respected townsman, Mr. ROBERT GLEGG, has become contractor.

    THE WEATHER—THE CROPS.—During the past week the weather was very favorable ; but on Sunday a sudden change came, and the rain fell in torrents. In almost every part of this neighbourhood complaints are prevalent about the rot in the potato crop. It is thought that the wheat and oat crop will be very productive.
