Mr. M'Carthy defended himself man fully, and challenges! any one of his assailants to stand out and meet him single-handed, but they modestly declined the invitation, and took good care to keep from arm's iength. 'the missiles, however, flew about Mr. M'Carthy, and he called to Mr. J. S. Dwyer, a county magistrate, whose coot sleeve some of the mob tore away when he strove to hold one of the leaders in the outrage arrested by Mr. M'Carthy. At a subsequent period of the day Mr. al`Carthy was again assailed in the streets, and his brother, Mr. Charles M'Carthy, was aloe struck for offering to protect his brother. Both gentlemen, however, gave their violent assailauts more than they hail desired. Mr. James M'Carthy, when provoked by the dastardly attacks made uon him , denounced the mob as " priest-ridden ruffians," unworthy the name of Irishmen. The following address, explanatory of the course pursued by him, has been issued by Mr. Russell : TV TUE FIZZ AND INDEPENDENT ELECTUtts OF THE CITY UP LIMEMICIL.

The regard I entertain for my fellow citizens of every class and creed is so warm and sincere, that it would grieve me to have catholic divided against catholic, and to see the different religious creeds iu our city arrayed iu open hostility. The renewal of sectarian strife at the present moment would undo all the blessings we have enjoyed from the cultivation of those kindly feelings that hitherto existed amongst us. 'the constituency has, I am proud to say, almost universally admitted my Piet claims to represent my native, city in parliament; and I have, un my canvass, everywhere received the strongest assurances of future support from those who view the present struggle as w holly of a religious character, arising from extra ordinary events, whch I we aever in witaess.

Yesterday, the tenth ordinary meeting of the shareholder. in this line of railway way held at the London Tavern, BiThopsaatc-street The emir was occupied he the lion. W. H. FIWIAVILICE, the chairman of the board of directors. . _ The SECRETARY commenced the proceedings by read ing the following report : •• The directors having been unable at the periods of the eighth and ninth ordinary meeting, to proceed with the businem of the company, in consequence of sufficient num ber of shareholders not having attended to constitute legal meetings, they have directed a reprint to be made of the statements of accounts a, published at those period., respec tively, and which will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at this, the tenth ordinary meeting, along with the hall-year', account to 30th June lest. The directors, at the extraordinary meeting of shareholders, held on the 20th day of NI.IV, submittal a statement of the policy by which they consider d the company's interest would be best served, together with an explanation of the share capital of the company. The shareholders then confirmed the forfei t lure of all the shares in armor of call, which were immedi ' ately appropriated to other parties who had applied fur them. The property phut* of the entire line and the no tices to landowners and occupiers have been served. Agree ments for purchases of land for a considerable portion of the line have been completed, and treaties arc in progress for the remainder. The line having been finally laid down, plans and specifications for letting the works are in course of preparation, and when c mutleted contracts will be en , tend into. Satnifactory getnents have been mode in respect to balances due to the tram road companies." The CILA I RMAN, after some remarks, said he had great plensure in rousing the adoption of the report. In an-wer to Mr. Wtlll.llSWOltill, The CIIAIICSI.IN observed that a very large portion of the train-way would come into use, in some instances for many miles together, and that it would be found extremely valuable in bringing down materials with which to form the line. Ile hoped, in about a month's time, that the con tracts would be so far perfected m to enable the engineer to proceed vigorously with the works. After some conversation, the report was adopted. Sir R. I'ItICE, M.P., congratulated the meeting on the forfeited shares having got into good hands, and on the reduction of price fur the land and iron ; and he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman for his real and perseverance in promoting the completion of the line. Mr. CHEYTOR. seconded the proposition, which was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN, in responding, said his utmost oxer tions would continue to be used with a view to the pro sperity of the concern, in which he was a large shareholder. Mr. FAItQIt lIAIt, one of the directors, explained what had fallen from him at the last meeting. Ile then said that the company was untrammelled, but he did not and could not go so far as to promise that the directors would never enter into negotiations with other,. The company stood now, a, it had done then, ptrfeetly unfettered and un ' pledged, but to say that no possible state of things might arise which would alter the present aspect of affairs, would be absurd.

As it was still water, all may be said to have had good places and free seope for their prowess. Wiggett and Bean first drew their boats a trill.: in advance, but it was scarcely more than momentary.

RAILWAYS IN IRELAND.—The Banner of 17.der, referring to the communication recently received from Lord John Russell, in replyto a statement from Lotd Enniskillen and other Irish peers and menalum of parli anent, on the subject of a railway system Mr the north of Ireland, says : "The immediate purpose of Lord Enniskillen's movement is to provide the means of completing the railway line be tween Enniskillen and Derry, and an exceedingly import. ant undertaking this is, and one in whose regard we wish his lordship all success. His lordship's entire plan, how ever, embraces the extension of the Ballymena line to Cole• mine to meet the line Iron Derry to the last-name.i town ; the junction of the Uhter and Dundalk lines at Monaghan, with a branch to Cavan, and probably, in the cud, a con necting trunk Iwtst eon the Dundalk and Derry lines. In this result Enniskillen would irnmediately become one of the greatest inland marts in Ireland for the exportation of agrieultinal prmlace, as it would be in direct railway communication with Dundalk and Derry, and eventually with Belfast—that is, supposing the junction line to be carried on from Monaghan to Enniskillon. as it doubtless w told be in the course of time. The Dublin line from Dundalk to Portudown is in course of as rapid com pletion as the nature of the works will permit, and it will, at all events, be finished next year. Were the other lines in a state of corresponding forwardness, we should regard our provincial prospects with feelings greatly beyond thous of ordinary hope, as railways invariably create business in all the districts through which they puss. in order, how ever, both to evince their own heartinass in the cause, and to encourage the ratepaying community to incur the serious liabilities to which they must become subject, in the event assumed, the aristocracy of our northern counties must he prepared to put their hands deeply into their own pockets, as well as into those of the public.
