Mosul. Reform. Mr. O’Connell’s prin- ciples are making so universala progress, that even fighting is going out of fashion, after his example. 'I he potent expressions bandied between Messrs. Fitzgibbon and Massy, such as coward, poltroon, liar, calumniator, base-born vlllian, dye, have ended as harmlessly, we are happy to per- eeive, as ifthey had been exchanged by Dan himself with Peter Kenny. It was an old fashioned maxim among gentlemen, that “ a man who wishes to avoid the ratio ultimo (pistols for two) should keep a civil tongue in his head.” But such an intole- rable restraint on the freedom of speech

The im: provement has even extended across the Channel. Tom Duncombe said to a gem tleman at Hertford, last week “ You “e n This,.it must be allowed, was taking a gain, tleman rather short; but the man was com. pletely sui compost—and, instead of floorin

honest Tom on the spot, he posed him at once by coolly replying— “ I lie Sir! What do you mean by that?” Now this, we main- tain is the only way to bother an adver-

A similar rencontre, occurred at Cork a few days ago, in one ofthe booths. A Mr. Reynolds said some. thing unhandsome, to which a Mr. M‘Car. thy, answered—“ as far as regards my. self ’tis a lie.” “’hereunto Mr. Reynolds rejoined—“ Oh, Sir, you’re nothing— you’re nothing;” and as nothing is more clear than the axiom, “ Ernihit fit,” no. thing came of it.

V. Meher, Esq., during his stay at Thurles lately, forgave arrears due by his tenantry in that part of the country to the amount of not less than l5,000l-, and also made abatements to such a degree that he is not likely to have such arrears due again.

Mr- Booker was designated a “Black Brunswicker.”

On the night of the 17th of Dec an armed party visited the several tenants of Lord Longford, on the lands of Ballnahee, and beat them severely; and ordered them not to attend the election of Mullingar to vote for Rorheford; or, ifthey did, that they would come again and destroy them.

On the same night, a party of men, consisting of about 100, entered the house of Simon M‘Vitty and Micheal Quinn, of Eanbegs, in the district of Lonngva threatening them with immediate death if they voted for Lord Forbes or Mr. Lefroyt at the election. Some of the party W0"
