ATTACK ON THE CORK AND CASIIEL Mail.—As the Cork Mail Coach, which left Dublin on Saturday in the forenoon, was proceeding on its journey, within about two miles of Littleton, on the Cashel road, and about eleven o'clock at night, it was fired at by an assassin from behind a hedge, but happily without any other effect than the perforating the kat of Mr. SOMERSET TOWNSIIEND, a Student of the University, who was sitting on the box with the coachman, and slightly grazing his , head. This young gentleman was stooping down at the moment, listening to something which the coachman was stating, and the contents of the gun took him slantingly ; had he been sitting upright, he would in all probability have been killed ! Slight as the blow was it stunned him, and produced a ringing in the ear. The passengers that were outside instantly took the alarm ; the guard sound ed his born, and distributed some of his fire-arms amongst the outside passengers, who showed a good disposition to make a stout resistance. Fortunately there was no occasion. as the assault was not followed up-,,-and the coach drove on with increased expedition. On proceeding a little further, about thirty men appeared on the road, who did not offer any interruption to the coach. The supposition of the passengers was, that had any serious casualty resulted from the assassin's shot, this party would have availed them selves of it, and completed the intended design. The coach, shortly after passing the body of men alluded to, fell in with some of the police, to whom the circumstance was communicated. When the coach was leaving Johnstown a man remarked—" take care of the bog." The coachman conceived the meaning of it to be to take care and not get into the bog, and so did Mr. Towt4sumgn, and the coach man replied accordingly. It turned out that the shot was fired in the bog--where there was a low, wood close to the' side of the road. There were ten persons on the outside— or probably the body of men on the road would have at tacked the coach.— Cork Southern Reporter. T y • rioRRID AND MYSTERIOUS CIRCUM sTawcs.—A most extraordinary sensation has been this John-street roads, from the discov e ry of a m o s t dreadful morning excited iu th e ne i g hb our h oo d o f G oswe ll an d St. transaction, which at present remains enveloped in consi derable mystery. For the last nine o r ten months twomaiden sisters, named AGNES and SOPHIA ANDERSON, :have oc cupied a floor in the house No. 32, Wynniatt-street, during which time they lived very retired, without even the assistance of a servant, and never receiving visitors. Their connections arc stated to be in the highest degree re spectable; but a Chancery suit, in which they were most materially interested, and which was the frequent subject of their conversation, had caused a distance between them selves and other branches of their family. For a few weeks past a great alteration was observable in their general de-; meanour ; they shunning city conversation and exhibiting an extraordinary dep .. . ession ,of spirits, which was consi derably increased within the last week by the receipt of'a letter, which has since been ascertained to contain some unfitvourable intelligence respecting their pending suit. On Sunday evening the younger of the two ladies was stated by her sister to be unwell, and was not afterwards seen by any of the inmates of the house; but the elder was seen as usual up to Wednesday morning, at which time she stated her sister to be " much the same—not any better." During the whole of yesterday she was not 'seen or heard by any person, and some suspicions having beeu excited in the mind of I.‘ir. Jelexisis, the landlord, their apartments were opened, the door not being fastened, and the lifeless bodies of the two unfortunate ladies were discovered on the bed, ea c h of them exhibiting the usual symptoms as tendant on death by poison. A medical gentleman was im mediately sent for, and it was then ascertained, from the appearance peatriavno or tiu ceoftheeebdoadyisep symp toms of decomposition s, that the younger mus t have been hav ing manifested th e mselves, but the eld er only a few hours. A most extraordinary circumstance connected with the melancholy affair is, that the body of the younger had the e an a d p s a oz e been laid out, and all the necebaarY offices performed, al though her death had never in the slightest degree been hinted at by her sister, who was partly undressed, and ly ing beside the corpse. Two phials containing remnants of ingredients laudanum, a other dele teriouseats. The circumstances of this tragical affair have been transmitted to the Coroner, T. STIRLING, Esq., and a speedy inves tigation will take place. The age of the elder is supposed to about 40, and the younger little over 30 years of age. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. This long-established Public Institution again presents itself to notice by its annual exhibition of Prize Cattle, which this year seems to possess unusual interest in the cattle competition. The Noble President's exertion and experience last year induced the Club to make several al terations in their printed bills of conditions, which have afforded a fairer opening for competition between the many different and valuable breeds of animals in the kingdom, the effect of which alterations strongly proves itself in the su perior class of animals which are sent this year. The com petition as to early maturity, symmetry, size, compactness, small bone, and of equality of fatness, was, I think, never before excelled in any one Show ; and also the surprising effect which is produced by giving the cheapest food. There are several ext►aordinarily large and beautifully com pact animals, which, from the labels over their heads, ap pear to have been bought quite lean in April last ; and, from the extreme simplicity and cheapness of the food they have consumed, and the little time they have been fattening on it, skews that a very great improvement is now discover ed, of preparing and giving the food to young well bred animals, which prompts a natural inclination to produce an enormous proportion of wholesome and good meat for our Smithfield markets ; but of course the feeders send their animals off for the market, long before they arrive at the excessive state of fatness in which they are produced for prizes. The object of this Club is to chew which breeds of animals can be brought to Smithfield market the earliest, fattest, and fed on the cheapest and least quantity of food ; and although, from 23 years' exhibition, so much has been accomplished, every successive year, particularly this, seems to show that far greater benefits to the public are yet to be derived from the emulation which this exhi= bition causes amongst the different breeders and feeders of cattle. The amount of the premiums is not the considera tion with the candidates ; but the credit, honour, and the consequent demand for their stock, are the great bone of contention among them ; as their countenances well be speak during the day the Judges are awarding. It is purely with a view to the benefits that the public are to derive from the results of this great Metropolitan exhibition, that the Noble President is so indefatigable in endeavours to bring the breeders, and particularly the feeders of every improving breed of animals, into a close and general competition, near to the greatest cattle market in the world, which display of talent and competition has the effect of widely disseminating the knowledge and experience of all our first agricultural men. Four very eminent and respectable breeders and graziers, from different counties, together with two experienced butchers of the Metropolis, were the whole of yesterday minutely investigating, and deciding on, which were the best animals in each class, the stewards and secretary only attending them to read the certificates of each animal, with out the names of persona or places ; so that the prizes were awarded while in total ignorance of those to whom the animals belonged, &c. Our correspondent noticed in morning, when all the cattle had arrived, that the Noble President was there at nine o'clock, and seemed busily engaged in the arrange ment, to ensure every possible fairness and justice in the Judges' decision. No person was allowed to go into the yard during the whole time, and at a very late hour in the evening, we were enabled to get the following copy from the labels. The Judges for Cattle Premiums were—Jaines Bass Topham, Esq. of West Keale, near Bolingbroke, Lincoln shire ; Mr. John Ellis, of Seaford, Sussex ; and Mr. An drew Gibbs, butcher, of Whitechapel Market; and they awarded, viz.:— CLASS I.—A premium of 20 guineas to Mr. John Booth, of Hornsey, Middlesex, for his 2 year andlo months' old Hereford Ox, bred by Miss Southall, of Torrington, Berko, and fed by Mr. B. at Brentford, on grains, chaff, and distillers' wash, only—travelled in caravan 10 miles to show.—This is a most surprising ox in every respect, and was bought lean in Smithfield Market in April last.

BOLIVAR: The following curious and characteristic let ter was addressed to the Senate by the Liberator, on receiving during his mareh to the capital the Decree for reducing the army CACIIIRA, Ana. 24, 1827. TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE. _ MOST EXCELLENT SIR—In my progress to the Capital, with such speed at the rainy season, the wretched state of the roads and of my health permit, I received at this place two communi cations from the office of the Secretary at War, the one inclosing the Decree of the Bth inst., reducing the permanent force of the Republic to within ten thousand men—the other handing me copies of various documents relative to the new insurrection of Guayaquil, from whence it appears that the Federal system was about to be proclaimed there—that great exertions were making to increase the number of the partizans of this system—that the department of the Equator were sending Deputies—and that Asuay would probably adopt a similar course. On receipt of these two communications, I could not fail to comp are them one with the other, and both with the state of the Republic.. A division of the army in Lima had mutinied against its commanders—trampled upon the 'laws —and, in base collusion with the foreign enemy, attempted the dismemberment of the Republic. Foiled in their insidious designs, they proclaim a federal form of Government, and gain ovci to their project a party of men in Guayaquil, who had for some time expressed their desires for this form of Government, and whom I endea voured to satisfy by a project of law, which had previously been successfully tried in .-Bolivia and which would have given them an d ours elves a central government, better calculated to meet our wants and necessities. But the federation now proclaimed is nothing less than a deliberate ac quiescence in the traitorous projects of those who have openly invaded these Departments ; and 'in this very crisis, the news gains ground that the enemy are assembling troops in the Canaries to make a descent upon our coasts—men's minds are in agitation—public morality is shaken— public opinion is tampered with—and the safety of the Republic is in imminent peril. At such a moment, when we are so imperi ously called upon to provide against foreign hos tility and domestic dissensions—at such a mo ment the army is ordered to be reduced to a number that would not be sufficient in a time of profound peace. Surely Congress must have keen greatly misinformed on the state of the Republic ; and although the capital is distracted by opposing factions, and the representatives of the people are exposed to the most cruel alarms, • our situation must have been considered as a • model of political prosperity. Certainly the De cree fully justifies this conclusion. In making the communication of this Decree, it is suggested, on the part of the Vice-Presi dent, that it will be most convenient to reduce the two battalions and two squadrons which, hearing of the proceedings in the South, I as sembled at Carthagena, and have marched into the interior. These are precisely the troops who, in these times of faction and of crime, have re mained faithful to the Constitution, and who have been its shield and buckler ; they are a body of distinguished veterans. The conveni ence of this measure is said to arise from the poverty of the Treasury. Because the Treasury • is exhausted, the Republic is to remain without defence, or delivered up in 'charge to those who , !lave brought it to it. r .e.a.it of bumai.sion I will not stop to consider by what delusions Congress has been brought to sanction a decree which is the seal of our ruin—nor will I add a single word on the subject of the monstrous its.. consistency of the two communications, recitlved on the same day—nor on the proposal to dis solve. a body of men, of long tried fidelity, at a • period when dangers are accumulating, for the purpose of entrusting the preservation of the ' rights of the nation to raw inexperienced levies— or to troops who have thought to recommend themselves by setting an example of fl agrant dis obedience. But I will not disguise the fact, that the Republic is near its dissolution —or, to speak in plainer terms, is already. dissolved—and that the reduction of the army will render the remedy impossible. A cry for reform is heard on every side—and if, in some parts, the anxiety and agitation of the public mind have been tran quillized by the hopes inspired by the National Convention, still every day discovers the difficul ties of our position. It cannot for a moment be conceived that Congress participates in the atro cious wish of those who desire to see the anni hilation of Colombia ; nevertheless I am per suaded that the measures they have recommended as salutary can have no other effect than that of accomplishing this wish. The reduction of the army, I repeat it, must lead us inevitably to ruin. The army sh o uld b e increased instead of diminished, and our finances reformed. If neither the one nor the other be permitted—if the executive withhold the only means of effecting the salvation of the country, I will never undertake the Presidency. It shall never be the fate of him, who has grown old in aiving life and laws to Colombia, to preside at Fier obsequies, or deliver up her mangled limbs to the foes she has either conquered or set free.
