THE O'CONNELL MONUMENTA suggestion has been made in some quarters to

abandon the O'Connell monument and transfer thefunds intended for it to an hospital—certainl y anoble institution—in Dublin. We have heard thequestion discussed very freely amongst the subscri-ber! to the monument, and we feel convinced thatthe great body of them are unmistakably in favor ofthe original project and against any. deviation there-from. They say that they would not have subscri-bed a farthing had they been told that it was for anhospital—therefore , to convert the funds to anyother purpose, except the monument, would be totake the money under false pretences. Wo may beasked what good will a monument or statue inSackville-slreet , confer on society ? As well mayit bo asked what good is Ihe monument of Nelsonin the same street, or what Value are the differentstatues of Welling ton , Nelion, Peel , Canning, andother distinguished men in tbe public thoroughfaresof London ? Most people in this country at leasthave subscribed to the monument of the greatIrish Tribune, wiili the .hope of being able to feasttheir eyes upon it whenever they would visit th»metropolis. Hence it is thnt the original projectshould be adhered to intact . It is the proper wayto pay a tribute to the great Irishman.

WANT OF A DRY DOCKTo-day one of our ship-builders informs us that

there is at present nt Ihe quay a Urge vessel whichrequires repairs done to bar, amounting in money to£1 ,000, but which cannot be done here for want of adry dock. The result is, that she must at onceproceed lo Wales , where the work can be executed.See what a loss this is to the tradespeop le and shop-keepers of the city. The same ship-builder calcu-latei that Waterford looses fully £20,000 a year forwant of a dry dock , and work amounting to thatfi gure is annually sent out of the port to the otherside of the channel. This is.a project which theHarbour Board should take up. As a speculationwhat could pay it better? It is a scandal to seesuch a magnificent port and harbour without adry dock.

Mr. Strangman (treasurer) said all elections to themanaging committee were by ballot.

Mr. Clnmpctt hoped that the board would properlytelect a member to act on the committee. Hewould suggest that the present Archdeacon shouldbe put on in the room of Archdeacon Bell , now leftthe city.

It was explained that Mr. Thomas Wilson hadbeen elected to the place latel y held by Dr. Bell ,and that there was but one vacancy now , that inroom of Aid. llynu.

The Chairman said that for Ms own part he shouldfeel inclined to elect a person on the committee ofsame creed as that professed by the late AldermanRyan (henr , hear).

The properly amounted to over £6,000, and the»i«lers ol the deceased were lo have tho benefit of it duringtheir lives.

The Clink—On the ground that it would bo better to \iav<competition.

Aid. Cox—That is a strati .'c reason iu such n cue, nud mMr. Kenney 's tender is as cheap or cheaper than last year , heou*ht to he given tho conliact (bear , hear).

OUT-DOOR RELIEF. — There were only a few op.plications for this sort of relief, and they were re-fused, the guardians having decided on discontinu-ing it except in very extreme cases. .

A CONVERT .— The Master reported that an in-mate named Margaret Birmingham, a Protestingwho is a patient in the infirmary, applied to him onSunday last to send for a Catholic priest : he did so,and she hns since been received into the Catholicchurch. Some of tbe guardians thought tbe master had out.stepped his dnty. Tbe master said, in reply, thst on bring-ing the matter under the notice of tlie Cuairman (ColonelStuart) he told him he might send for a Catholic clcigyman.The following resolution, drawn up by Capt.

Mrs. O'Neill immedinti-ly sent four sack>?' the required quality, and excused herself for sending theinferior flour, as she wns not prepared for the contract whenshe cot it. Tho master also asked the guardians to sanctionthe muni change of dietary at this season, viz., tea insteadof COCOA tor the infirm, and skimmed milk, instead of oat-meal soup, for dinner, for the able-bodied. In reply to thechairman, Dr. O'llynn said the change was usual.

The Master requested nn order from the board for oneIioudred p/ines of gldsj. Mr. Quirke: I think Inert areabout 6,000 panes of glass used in this house annuall y.

Dr. O'Kyau complained of the quality of the port tviup,contracted for on the 27th ult., and stated that he ivonld notorder any of it to be givcu to tho patients , tho quality beingso inferior.

After n good deal of discussion among the guardians, Mr,Wilson proposed, and Mr. Quirke seconded, that Dr. O'li ynr,get port wine for the patient', nt a cost not exceeding 2. 01per liotlle, from the present contractor, if be could supplygood port at that pric.

aariculturr(From the Irish Farmers' Gazette)

FARM OPERATIONS FOR APRIL.From the severity of the weither for the past five

weeks , getting in the cereal crops has been much re-tarded ; uevcrtheless, every endeavor should be madehenceforth in getting iu the intended breadth, remem-bering that late sowings are succeeded by late and un-ccrt-iin harvests.

BAKLBT ahould be got in with a3 little delay as pos-sible, in all well prepared and suitable soils; but incold , damp, and backward soils it may be put off till thelsller end of the month , in order that the soils may getdry and their temperature raised to assist speedy vege-tation. Oals and barlny, as well as wheat, should besteeped to prevent smut. A good steep for this purposemay he mado by dissolving as much salt in warm wateraa will make bnoe s'rong enough to float an egg ; toevery gallon of the brine add two ounces of bluestODO(sulpbate of copper) . Oats " i J,, l»e in steep 3° no"r8.and barley 24 hour... Afte' £• - wcl1 ir^̂ m>* Mmuch &y ashes with tlio grain ns wil l dry it enough forsowing. Barley, from carrying less foliage than oatsor wheat , is by far the best grain crop to sow grass andclover seeds with ; nnd is preferred on that account. Im-mediately after the barley has been covered , the grassand clover seeds should be sown and bush-harrowed ,nnd then rolled, otherwise the small seeds cannot besown till the barley is well over ground , and sufficientlycstablijhcd in it to revive r.o injury from bush-liarrow-lnc'.

A TBIL W HEAT may be sown between the 10th and20th of the month. From the excellence of its produce ,when properly cultivated in Ireland , it i8 comiog intorepute. It does not do so well on the best whoit soilsns tho more common wheats, nod on backward , butclean , well cultivated soils turns out more profitablethan oals.

W INTER WHEATS , if sown in drills, will now requirecareful hand or horse hoeings; and all root weeds thathave been missed in previous tilling* will DOW showthemselves, nnd should bo removed. When cleansodthey may be laid down with clover and grass seeds,bush-harrowed, and rolled . Winter wheats , if tooluxuriant , should be fed down with sheep before the endof the month , and then harrowed and rolled.

WiNTKR-aowK BEANS should be hand or hotse-hocdnnd grubbed between beforo the end of tho month , topulverize the soi l nnd extract root weeds.

CARROTS may be sown up to tbe middle of the month ,particularly the white U elgian carrot. The seed shouldbe prepared by rubbing between the hands, to break offthe owns, and mixed with damp sand, and left in aheap, in a dark place, under cover , turned over once aday, and , if getting dry, lightly sprinkled with water lopromolC germination. In the meantime the land willbe preparing, and just as soou as the seeds show symp-toms of sprouting they should be sown and closelycovered. It is a good plan to sow some globe turnipswith tbe carrois , which come up much sooner than tbelatter , and define the drill , so that the hoes may befreely used at an early period to pulverize tbo soil nndextirpate weeds.

PARSNIPS may still be sown , if tli6 seeds arc germin-ated in the same way as directed for carrots.

M ANGEL W URZEL should l>e sown by the end of thamonth. The land should be deeply cultivated andthoroug hly pulverized , to which should be given illiberaldressing of lime and salt , which will be thoroughly in-corporated during llie working of it before drilling, andthe crop requires a heavy dressing of putrescent man-ures to grow it to perfection. It will promote the evenbrairding of tbe crop to steep the seeds tor forty-eighthuurs in soil or mauuio water, and , when druincd, dryit with wood oi oilier asli^s.

SWEDF. TunNirs should be sown from the end of Aprilto the middle of May. The preparation of the liui'l issimilar to thnt directed for maogcls , but the applicatio nof putrcacent manure should be more moderate. Steep-ing the seed in soft water lor thirty-six hours nnd dry-ing it with ashes accelerate* its vegetation j a liberalallowance of seed is the best possible prcventiou to theravages of the fly, and those who sow enough of seednever complain of the crop being cut off by that insect.

Koiir. lli.ui should be sown in beds of rich , light soilearly iu Ihc month , to be fit for transplanting by theend of May ; it is an excellent plant to substitute forswedes wher e they have failed .

POTATOES should now be got in without delay, andthe early planted ones, whether in drills or ridges,should be earthed up before thoy appear over ground , topreserve them from being cut down by frost".

SrRiNd V ETCIIEU .—Another breadth of spring vetchesshould be sown , to succeed those fcoun last month.

FIAX should be sown early in the month : good ,deep, friable lea, afttr oats or other corn crops , producesthe best flix ; it may also bo sown niter any of thegreen crops. The land for this crop should bo welltilled and finely pulverized and cleaned of all root weeds.The best seed is that from Riga, or the first crop ofhome-grown seed from Riga. To produco fine fibre ,it requires 3} bushels to soiv the Irish acre, whichahould be sown very evenly, and harrowed in with afine grass harrow , first one way and then across.

LU C E R N E may still be sown , but would have beenbetter sown in March . The land should be rich anddeep, well pulrerizid , ami thoroughly cleau. It may be sownin drills 14 to 18 inches apart , either with or wilhout a corncrop.

S.U370I!? should be sown this month with tha barley crop.It is generall y aowu broadcast , at the rate of 4i buihelj tothe Irish acre.

CADD .IOES.— Finish planting out all the autumn sowneabhuges. The drumhead , or fl.it Dutch cahlMKe , requiresplanting at 3 feet hy 2J feet apart , and the smaller andearlier varieties at 9 led hy 18 inches apart.

CADDIOV. SEED of all varieties should now bo sown forpl'intinf: out in June nnd Jul y.

CLOVER A N D (lEtts SHEDS should he sown hy the middleof the month. If the land bo nnder winter wheat , roll,harrow wall , sow the seed*, bosb-harrow , and roll. II to hesown nilh oats or barley, «ow the am,ill seeds immediatelyafter the last turn "f the harrows . Kush-harrow and roll.

PA R I N G AND HU R S IK O .—These important operations intho reclamation of waste, rough , or moory lands should beproceeded with this month. After the tods are burned, dieathts should be spread, lightl y ploughed in , well harrowed ,and rolled and cropped ; or, to pain ti-ne, the sods, when dry,may be collected, for burninj, in rows li to 2 perches npart ,the spaces between ploughed, and , after a light harrnwiti k',the ashes spread wlirn burned, and then the apices occupiedby tbe beapi ploughed ; the rhole well harrowed , crosaplouehed if necessary, and cropped. Such lauds yieM goodcrops of potatoes, turni ps, or rape.

FALLOWS , where practised , should now get a firs t, or, ifploughed last month , a second ploughing.

TOP-DBBBSlltO WITH II A IF-SOLCBLK M A SCRES. — A Ssoon as the weather sets in inild and wet , the proper time-has arrived fur tnp-dressine; cirn and urass crops with thovarious half-soluble manures, such ns phosphu gumo, Peru-vian guano, nypsuir , soot , and superphosphate. The appli-cation of the harrows to the corn crops before , nurl thu rollersalter the application , will be of great service.

Mr. Hoare said the Pnrtla*man (Dwyer) »ai ondonbtedly the cheaper. ;Mr.Sherlock observed that there wat very littl e differ-ence in the prices. The master said tbat he required182 lbs. of meat for the week. Mr.- Stafford wouldaccept the two tenders.. Mr. Walsh : You eouldnot accept the two tenders ; on that system jouwoul d have no contractors in a little time. Mr.Walpole: There would be a saving of £5 a year bytaking the Portlaw tender. Mr. Hoare proposedDwyer's tender as follows:—Beef, without bone,5ld.per lb; rounds, without lap» , 5}d. ; poTk, 5jd. ;ox head«. 2«. 3d. each. Mr. Flynn , from Waterford,also tendered.

After a considerable discussion by the committeeon the tenders for lea, sugar, and medicines, whenthey came up for ratification by the chairman, theywere ultimately postponed for the consideration of afuture meeting, as also a number of other tenders,including clothing, &c.

Mr. Wm. Hunt , clerk , read Ihe minutes, as also anotice of motion from Mr. Armstrong for changingthe chargability of Margaret Power, from the divi-sion of Fews. Mr. Armstrong being asked wherehe was going to charge to ? he said to anywhere(laughter).

Mr. Dee said he would second the motion. Mr.Lenihnn , R.O., thoug ht it a union case. Thewoman was called into the board, and on beingquestioned by Mr. Stafford as to where she hadrecentl y resided, iho was charged to Fews.

A young woman, who had been an inmate in tht)house five years, said she wanted to go out to earnher bread, when the board granted I 7«. 6d. to buyclothes for her.

The Master reported that the land connectedwith the house would be soon cropped.

Mr. Hoare, after a few judicious remarks onthe subject of properly considering the payment ofbills, proposed the following, which, on beingseconded by Mr. T. Hunt, passed unanimously :—

"Resolved— Thst as there bat been no finance comroittesappointed for tbe ensuing year , thst all demands for moneywhether from contractors, office™, or others, be brooglitunder tbe consideration of the board immediately after theadmission of panpers, and cbeqnes ordered for sacb as deemednecessary."

There are at present in the house 236 persons.The financial position of the union is very favorableand the condition of the whole establishment splpears very creditable to the officers in charge, whocordially co-operate in the performance of their ret-peclive duties.

_ LIFE IN A LIGHTHOUSE .—Our duties at thalighthouse were not very onerous, but, of course,they had to be performed with the order andregularity of machinery, the first article in Iberegulations issued to all lighthouse-keepers runningas follows : "You are to light the lamps everyevening at sun-setting, and keep them constantlyburning bright and clear till sun-rising." Whatevermay happen , come fair or foul weather, as sure asthe sunset, is the beacon-light to shine across thetrackless sea, a warning to sailors of some treach-erous and shifting sand-bank. The monotony otour life was broken only by storms asd vitits fromour Mend8 on land. It was trying to n man's nerveito sit up in the watch-room immediately below thelantern during a gale.

A strongcontrast to such nights were the calm summerevenings, when the ocean stretched round us formiles, dotted here and there with white sails, arid *troubled only by a passing shoal of mackerel or a 'lipuff of the eummnr bree*>, At such tines a little %boat would put off ftom Huncliff, and breaking the iwater into golden ripples in the sunset, would come Igently on towards our rocky home. Old Wilson 3and Lucy had come to bring us our stock of 1provisions, or pay us a friendly visit. Very eaeer.
