DIED.
March 26, at Dublin, after a painful and protracted illness, Charles H. R. M'CLINTOCK, youngest surviving son of the late Captain James M'Clintock, of her Majesty's _8th (?) Regiment (Connaught Rangers,) and for many years Adjutant of the Londonderry Regiment of Militia.
On Friday, the 28th ult., aged six years, Edmund, eldest surviving child of Mr. WINSLOW of the Hotel, Belturbet. Poor little Eddie! He was a truly interesting and intelligent child, the favourite of all who knew him, and the large and respectable cortège which accompanied his remains on Sunday last to the romantic (??) old graveyard of Drurylane, gave abundant evidence of the feelings which his early death and the bereavement of his most estimable parents evoked.

DANIEL O'CONNELL AS HE APPEARED AT THE BAR 1825:- Mr. O'CONNELL is in particular request in jury cases. There he is in his element. Next to the "harp of his country," an Irish Jury is the instrument on which he delights to play; and no one better understands its quality and compass. I have already glanced at his versality. (sic.) It is here that it is displayed. His powers as a nisi prius advocate consists not so much in the perfection of any of the qualities necessary to the art of persuasion, as in the number of them that he has at command, and the skill with which he selects and adopts them to the exigency of each particular case. He has a thorough knowledge of human nature, as it prevails in the class of man whom he has to mould, to his purposes. I know of no one that exhibits a more quick and accurate perception of this essential peculiarities of the Irish character. It is not merely with reference to their passions that he understands them; though !
here he is pre-eminently adroit. He can cajole a dozen of miserable hacks into the persuasion that the honor of their country is concentrated in their persons. His mere acting on such occasions is admirable; no matter how base and stupid, and how poisoned to political antipathy to himself he may believe them to be, he affects the most complimentary ignorance of their characters. He hides his scorn and contempt under a cloak of unbounded reliance. He addressed them with all the deference due to upright and high-minded jurors. He talks to them of "the eyes of all Europe," and the present gratitude of Ireland, and the residuary blessings of integrity, with the most perfidious command of countenance. In short, by dint to unmerited commendations, he labours them into the belief that, after all, they have more reputation to sustain, and sets them chuckling with anticipated exultation, at the honours with which a verdict according to the evidence is to consecrate their names.!

FATAL ACCIDENT:;- On the evening of Thurday, 27th March, between seven and eight o'clock, as Mr. Irvine MOFFITT, of Kilemallen, accompanied by his son, Mr. James MOFFITT, of Lask, and two others, was returning from a funeral at Derg Bridge, a horseman rode furiously up behind the car on which Mr. Moffitt sat, and struck against the car with such violence, that the old man was thrown off, and so seriously injured that he was taken up in a state of insensibility. He lingered until the morning of the 2nd of April, when he expired. An inquest was held on Thursday, before Charles FAUSETT, Esq., and evidence as above having been offered by Mr. J. Moffitt, son of deceased, and Mr. Francis KEYS of Lack, who was also on the car, a verdict of manslaughter was returned against Irving LAW, who rode the horse which caused the catastrophe. He was accordingly lodged in the gaol of this town (Enniskillen) on Friday morning, on the coroner's warrant. - Fermanagh Mail.
ATHLONE ELECTION:- The nomination has been fixed for Thursday, and the polling will take place on Saturday next.

MISS HINDS'S CASE. - Application will be made, in the Law Courts, some of those days, for a new trial, in the case of Thomas DUNN, who was convicted at the Special Commission, of inciting the murder, and lies under sentence of death in Cavan gaol. The grounds of the application are not rightly stated in the Dublin papers. It is not because the prisoner was not called on to exercise his right of challenge in the case of Mr. EDGERS, added to the jury, when Mr. TEEVAN retired, that it is sought to set aside the verdict, for, in truth, Dunn was called on to challenge at that time, but the fact is simply this, when Mr. Edgers was added, all the other jurors, from the foreman down were sworn anew and previously to the last getting the book in his hand, no invitation to challenge was addressed to Dunn or his counsel. Now, it is contended that the jury was virtually a new one - the fact of their being resworn is adduced in proof and that the challenge should have commenced with the first and extended over all instead of being confined to the last. As to the other ground that the new juror did not hear the Attorney General's statement after he was sworn, there is clearly nothing in this, for it is quite competent to a prosecutor to address the jury at first, or to proceed at once with the evidence as he pleases. On the first point, however, the knowing ones are decidedly of opinion that the verdict will be set aside.
