Irish News (From Our Irish Exchanges for August.) In the small area of County Galway still held by the irregulars there is acute distress, and typus is prevalent. The position in Cork, says a Dublin business man, is tense in the extreme, but outwardly calm. The irregulars are in possession of all points of vantage in the city. They control the harbour, and they dominate the river. A dull brooding atmosphere hangs over the city. Enterprise is dead. People live from hand to mouth, from day to day, not knowing what the morrow may bring forth. National troops, under CommandCol. -Comant -General Lawlor and mandant Reynolds, arrived in Ballina. and were received with tremendous enthusiasm by the people. The troops occupied Ballycastle, Belmullet, and Killala without a shot being fired. Numerous arrests were made in these towns. The irregulars have left all the towns in North Mayo for the hills. They are said to be strongly entrenched in the Ox Mountains, six miles from Ballina. There have been many desertions from their ranks. Commandant Sean Langan, Lackan, Killala. has resigned from the Republican Army. Train communication has been opened from Dublin to Ballina, and the people are overjoyed at the restoration of normal times. at Coolnabinna, 'In am ambush Crossmolina, Captain E. Hegarty, of the Republicans, was killed. He leaves a wife and four children. His funeral to Kilmurry cemetery was attended by 200 Republicans. Reports from Tirconaill indicate that following the capture of Glenveagh Castle, the irregulars still at large in the county are completely demoralised. They have been cleared out of the entire western portion of the county, and the remnants are now hovering about in the southern area, principally in Mountcharles district. Nearly all the eligible young men have left Daingean (Offaly) to join the National Army. The remains of Commandant McCurtain, killed in the Leix ambush, were taken to Nenagh. Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated in presence of a large congregation. A guard of hon.

There was an immense cortege, representing all classes in the district. The Dublin Guarder' Pipers' Band headed the cortege, in which a number of priests marched. Commandant Collison. who was also killed with Commandant Mc Curtain. was buried at Moneygall. Requiem Mass was celebrated. and full military honours accorded the deceased soldier. Solemn Requiem Masses were celebrated at Roscrea, Monevgall, and Templemore for the repose of his soul. -
Brilliant Young Vocalist WINS MELBA'S PRAISE. A distinction of unusual merit in the world of music was achieved by the Convent of Mercy Ladies' College, Victoria Square, on Wednesday morning last, when one of the Sisters' stn. dents, Miss Veronica :Mansfield, unae went a singing test under rare cirWhen it was cumstances for Perth. learned that Dante Nellie Melba intended giving a season in this city. steps were taken to get Miss Mansfield heard by the world famous songstress, our own Melba. It was only by very special favour that the test was made, because it is understood that numerous applications for the great privilege had been made, but Dame could not accede to the requests. However, it was considered that Miss Mansfield's ability was worthy of the best recognition. Efforts to secure a test were resumed, and Dame Nellie On Wednesday morning, consented. at His Majesty's Theatre, the hearing Miss Mansfield, chaptook place. eroned by Mrs. B. \V. Lewis, was inProfessor D. B. Rankin. by troduced "What are you singing? "Winds in Thomasi, was (A. Goring the Trees" the reply.

Dame's brilliant pianist accompanied, and others of her concert party, including Mr. Haigh Jackson. the famous baritone, and Melba's principal tutor .it present. her Conservatorium, were Melba then assumed control of the piano, and the real test commenced. For a quarter of an hour the student was subjected to a severe examination in voice production and range, and she acqui'ted herself admirably. Melba's opinion could be fairly well gauged from her audible remarks to Mr. Jackson, alongside, as Miss Mansfield sustained a true, rich note. The test concluded, the verdict was most gratifying. Dame Nellie immediately expressed her appreciation of a good voice. "You have a good voice, Miss Mansfield." she said. A general conversation between the parties ensued, which appeared entirely favourable. It afterwards proved that Melba had given Miss Mansfield over into Mr. Haigh Jackson's charge, and that the Melba Conservatorium of Music was open to her. This intimation was regarded with delight. She was generally laudatory in her remarks concerning the young lady's excellence of musical knowledge, and her work that morning. Her prospects at the Conservatorium, where, as Dame said, everyone s interest was mutual, were good. including Melba herself, assist and sing with each other. and pursue the work together. The result is indeed pleasing to all concerned, and Miss Mansfield's host of friends will heartily wish her every success. This young lady has also gained the diploma for Associate and Licentiate pianoforte Trinity College, as well as two gold medals for violin, and the only prize awarded by the University for singing (16). It is her intention to proceed to the Conservatorium for training early next year. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Mansfield of Subiaco-road, Subiaco. Congratulations.
NORTHAM. (From Our Correspondent.) A wedding of much interest to Ncrthamites took place recently in Coon Town. As the young couple are well known and highly esteemed, their many friends are rather disappointed that the ceremony did not take place in Northam. However, to show the popularity of the young couple. the Children of Mary are making arrangements for a reception to be held in St. Joseph's Hall on Wednesday evening, September 20th, the happy couple returning to their future home on that date. The bridal party will arrive at the hall about 8.30, and hope to meet many friends. No invitation cards are being issued, but a general invitation is being extended to all. Many are regretting that an opportunity was not given to present a wedding gift, but as both bride and bridegroom have a weakness for sweets, all are asked
to bring along a gift of lollies or materials for making same, so that the pantry may have in a good supply for bazaar week, when they hope to meet many friends. A lucky wedding cake is being presented. and will be sold
during the evening at 3d. per slice. Dancing will be indulged in during the
evening, when a good floor is promised, the daintiest of refreshments, and the best of music. Bring along a gift of sweets or materials for making same. or Is. towards funds.
