Dublin, Noy. 18.

We have had another blondy fortnight, and the unhappy condition of the country is only teo plaivly shown, not merely by the alarming frequeucy of assassinations, but by the indil- ferewce manifesied by one portion of the Pevple. aud the openly expressed approval of ‘.other portion in relation to these shocking Theie seems to be no reason to doubt that the murder cf Daniel Ca!laghan, at Cork, the other night, was eihter an official or a} volunteer act of revenge aud punishment for The assassination seems to have been anticipated

jeven by the famaty of Callaghan; they ex- pressed no gurprise when informed that he }was hiled, and very little sorrow at his fate.

By the cession of the Hudson’s Bay Company's t-rritory to Canada, the iu- habitants of the Scikirk settiement came un- der the rule ofthe Dominion of Canada and

the Company. At this po‘nt, the first error, if we may 6v term it, of the Dominion autho- rities appears tu have been made, The po- pulation of Selkirk bad been looking forward w aunion with Canada for the past tuirty yeara, expecting thus to obtain the privileges of seif-governme.(, aud whem it was found that @ representative sys. wes not to be put in force at once, there was man,fested @ de- cided feeling of disappointment.

It appears that Mr, McDougall, the Governor appointed, is extremely unpopular at Red River, and although the Canadian govern- meut was probably not aware of the fact, bis Sppointment without some inquiry into the matter is open to criticism, A Montreal jour- ual asserts that the Catholic missionaries tv the Indians on Manitoulin Island, with whom Mr, McDougall came into collision when Commissioner of Crown lands, have stirred up the animosity of their brother priests in the Red River territory ; but however this may be, the appointment of an unpopular man as gov- ernor was certainly unfortunate. A similar mistake, it is also maintuined, was made re- garding the constitution of the Council, the
