‘In the absence of commensurate under- 
takings to meet all the evils which have 
and do afflict this fine unhappy country, 
a new and improved practice has, with 
the avowed sanction of the Lord Lieu- 
tenant, and under the recommendation of 
the Judges, been recently adopted by the 
county magistrates, for the adjustment of 
minor differences and the cognizance of 
trifling offences. Petty sessions are to 
be held and attended by four or five 
justices, who are to determine upon cases 
which had been formerly brought before 
a single magistrate. 
Five men, among whom were a father 
and son, were lately executed at Cork, for 
the alledged offeiice of setting fire to 
the mills and dwelling-house of Charles 
Hennesey, near Castletown, in that 
county. Previously to being turned off, 
the Rev. Justin F. M‘Namara made the 
following observations on behalf of the 
unhappy men.—‘'These men, vt w about 
to die, have severally and individually 
directed me to say, what in their presence 
I now say, that though they die with 
respect for the laws of their country, yet, 
in justice to their own characters, they 
think themselves bound, as before God 
they are in their conscience enabled to 
do, that they are innocent of this single 
transaction for which ‘they are about to 
suffer.” ¥

DEATHS ABROAD. 
At Magdeburgh, 70, Count Carnot, one 
of the ablest, honestest republicans, which 
the revolution of France produced. He 
was born on the 15th of May, 1755, and 
was one of the most extraordinary men of 
his time. A member of the Convention, 
one of the committee of Public Safety, 
alternately war-minister, and one of 
the éxecutive directory in the senate, 
in the war bureau or the Tuileries, he 
never laid aside the plainness of re- 
publican simplicity. Under his admini- 
stration, seven hundred thousand men ap- 
peared on the frontiers in arms, as repub- 
lican defenders of resuscitated France; 
and, in the language of the eloquent 
Barrére, Carnot “ organized victory and 
rendered her permanent.” He  subse- 
quently saw the feeble Ditectory and 
Republic overthrown by the ambition of 
an individual, backed by military force, 
while the cold and metaphysical’ Siéyes, 
with Barras, pandered to the power of 
the popular and aspiring victor. During 
Bonaparte’s career, as first consul and 
consul for life, and his subsequent assump- 
tion of the imperial dignity, Carnot re- 
mained in retirement. He emerged from 
it when the tide of misfortune began to 
roll heavily on Napoleon and France; and 
he offered his services in the hour of 
danger. Antwerp was committed to his 
charge, and the ability with which he de- 
fended that important city, until after 
the recall of the Bourbons, is fresh in 
the memory of all. On the return of 
Napoleon from Elba, he was again ap- 
pointed war-minister, and accepted the 
title of count. The second return of the 
Bourbons again brought exile and po- 
verty on Carnot. He addressed one or 
two able and powerful remonstrances to 
Louis, on the policy then. pursning; but 
the advice of Carnot was rejected, and he 
retived, proscribed, first to' Warsaw, but, 
on the invitation of Frederick, came to 
Magdeburgh, where he died. Carnot is 
still survived by Barrére and David, both 
of whom reside in the Netherlands, and in 
the fate of Spain behold the justification 
of the Committee of Public Safety.
