The object of the Company is to establish and work a direct line of Telegraph between the Continent of Europe and the United States of America, in accordance with the concession granted by the Imperial French Government to Baron Emile d'Erlangor, of Paris, and Mr. Julius Renter, of London. This concession bears date Gth July, 1868, and confers the privilege of laying and working Submarine Telegraphs between France and the United States. The French Go vernment binds itself not to grant any other concession for lines between France and North America during the period of twenty years from the Ist September, 1861). A concession granted by the State Legislature of New York, for landing and working cables between that State and France, has been secured. Arrangements have been made with the Submarine Telegraph Company for the exclusive use of ono of their wires between England and Dieppe, from which place the French Government will construct a special wire to Brest direct for the Company. By this means, the valuable co operation of the Submarine Telegraph Company has been secured, and an uninterrupted route from England to the United States will be established. The French Government has promised its support and assistance to the undertaking, and an honorary committee of the highest position has been formed in Paris. It has been generally acknowledged that, both for poli tical and commercial reasons, the laying of a direct and independent cable from 'the Continent of Europe to the United States was only . a question of . time, and consider ing the extraordinary increase of telegraphic messages wherever new facilities are afforded, it is to be expected that the new undertaking will create • fresh traffic, inde pendent of that of the old companies, sufficient to insure earnings of equal if not greater amount. It will - be the object of the new Company to fix such rates for messages as will secure the largest possible traffic. The price to be charged is intended to be £2 for a mes sage of 10 words, and it seems not too sanguine an expec tation that at this rate the lino will find constant em ployment. Tho power of transmission of the now cable is estimated, according to the report of the engineers and electricians, at a minimum of twelve words per minute, which, allow ing 14 hours a-day for waste time, and consequently only ten hours a-day for actual work, and taking 300 working days in the year, gives, at the rate of £2 per message, an annual income of £132,000. Practically, he proportion of days and hours lost would in all probability be less than is assumed in this estimate. The working expenses of the new line may be calculated to amount. at the utmost to £30,000 per annum. The proposed cable will be laid in two sections—the first from Brest in France, to the French island of St. Pier re, off Newfoundland; the second from St. Pierre either to New York direct or to a point between Boston and New York, with a special line to the last-named city. The length of the cable is as follows:- Ist section, from Brest to St. Pierre 2,325 miles. 2nd section, from St. Pierre to the United States, about 722 „ 3,047 miles. To this length an amply sufficient amount of slack will be added. A contract has been entered into with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company to manufacture and lay the cable for the sum of £920,000, of which £BlO,OOO is payable in cash by agreed instalments during the manufacture and shipment of the cable. The remain ing £llO,OOO will be payable in the following manner, viz., £BO,OOO in fully paid-up Shares, after the section from Brest to St. Pierre shall have been laid and tested satis factorily for thirty successive days ; £lO,OOO in cash after the section from St. Pierre to the United States shall have been laid and tested for thirty days, and the final payment of £20,000 in fully paid-up Shares after the entire cable shall have been six months in satisfactory operation. Allowing £lOO,OOO for the construction of the land lines, engineers' charges, supervision, and all expenses up to the opening of the line, and deducting the consideration here after stated to be given for the concession upon success, there will remain a balance, by way of reserve, of £BO,OOO. The Great Eastern will be employed in laying the deep sea portion. Sir Samuel Canning with a competent staff will ha charge of the submersion of the cable. Sir James Anderson will act on behalf of, and watch over, the in terests of the Company. The cable is contracted to be shipped in June next, and the lino is expected to be open for traffic in the course of next year. The cable will be of the best construction, and generally of the same description as those manufactured by the Tele graph Construction Company for the Atlantic and Anglo- American Telegraph Companies. The cable will be pro tected by tar like the 1865 cable, and advantage has been taken of all the experience since gained. In accordance with the unanimous recommendation of the engineers and electricians, the weight of copper in the conductor has been increased from 3001 b. to 4001 b. per knot. By this means greater rapidity of transmission is obtained. In tracing the route a detour has been made to avoid the risk of icebergs and anchorage on the banks of Newfound land. It is on these banks that all accidents to the exist ing cables have occurred. Sir James Anderson has recorded Lis opinion that the object thus sought for will be fully attained. The Concessionaires, by an agreement dated 3d August, 1868, and scheduled to the Articles of Association, have agreed to transfer to the Company their concession from the Imperial Government of France, together with all their rights under the concession from the State of New York, and the benefit of the undermentioned agreements, and to defray all expenses up to the registration of the Company in consideration of 5,000 fully paid Shares, to be allotted to them whenever the Cable shall have been successfully laid, and shall have continued to work satis factorily for 30 days. They will also be entitled to receive one-fifth part of the surplus net profits iu each year, after setting aside a reserve fund, equal to 5 per cent. of the net profits, a nd after payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. to the Sh are holders. These contingent profits will, for con venience, be attached to a portion of the fully paid shares. It will be seen from this that the,Concessionaires look only to the success of the undertaking for their remuneration, and for the repayment of the expenses they have already incurred. Copies of the Agreements and of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and of the Concessions, lie for in spection at the Offices of the Solicitors of the Company, Nfessrs. Bischoff, Coxe, and Bompas, 19, Coleman-street. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at• the Offices of the Company, Bartholomew House, a nd at the Union Bank of London, Princes-street, and their various branches. COPIES OF REPORTS OF SIR JAMES ANDERSON, SIR WILLIAM THOMSON, MESSRS. VARLEY," CLARKE, FORDS, AND JENK IN. London, 3d August, 1868. Baron Emile d'Erlanger, Julius Reuter, Esq. Dear Sirs,—With reference to the route projected for the cable between Brest and America, I have recommended it for the following reasons : By keeping in the 500 fathom line upon Milno bank and around the southern edge of the Grand bank there is no possibility of ice, or of any other agency that can be sug gested, injuring the cable. The northern edge of the Grand bank was avoided, because it is uncertain at what depth the icebergs ground. They aro said, upon good au thority, to ground at times in 90 fathoms. It is not certain at what depth the vessels employed in the seal trade ma y .sometimes choose to drop an anchor for the purpose of keeping their station in the track of ice floes. These dangers are avoided by the track chosen for the proposed cable, and 1 tun justified by my own experience in saying that the track from the southern e:lge of the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence to the place of land ing in America, is entirely free from any danger from ice, and does not cross any anchorage resorted to by the fleet of fishing vessels. The cable upon the Milne bank and from the Grand bank to St. Pierre, and thence to America (upwards of 1,200 miles), will be laid in water of such easy depth that repairs will be a matter of certainty ; and we aro justified, from the sounding which already exist, in affirming that the depth of water along the deep sea portion can be no greater than that in which the present Atlantic cables are laid. _ _ I anticipate, from the soundings about to be taken by the French ship of war, that a good deal of favotirable ground will be found from Milne bank to the Grand bank of Newfoundland. I am, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, JAMES ANDERSON. (Signed) London, 4th August, 1868. Gontlemon,—At 'your request we have much pleasure in handing you the present report on the cable recom mended by us to be laid from Brest to St. Pierre, and from St. Pierre to the coast of the United Scatos. _ The deep sea cable adopted is almost exactly similar to that used in 1865 and 1866. The great merit of this form is its strength, both absolute and relative to the strains required while laying the cable. The actual strength of this hemp and steel cable is 74 tons, while the strain re quired for submersion need not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it should be necessary to haul back any portion already laid, the strain need not exceed 11 tons in the deepest water. The strength is, therefore, amply sufficient to meet all contingencies, with a margin quite as great as is allowed in any ordinary engineering construction or operation. We need hardly remind you of the experimental proof which has been given that this form of cable can, even if broken in the deepest water, be recovered by dredging, but we take the opprtunity of expressing our deliberate opinion that this success was not fortuitous, but that the experi ment might be repeated as often as required with a like result. The power of transmitting messages through long submarine lines is no longer a matter of doubt, and the laws affecting their transmission are well understood. Wo can promise with certainty that through your enlarged core you will be able to send twelve words per minute, and by improved methods of signalling we expect to in crease this minimum considerably. Te length of your cable, which will be in deep water, will be no greater than that of the existing cables, and it will rest on the same smooth and safe bottom. The shallow water section will be a heavy cable, protected agaiust rust by a bituminous compound, as used for the Persian Gulf cable. The route avoids all considerable anchorages and all danger from icebergs, and should any interruption ever occur on this portion it can be repaired with certainty and rapidity. In conclusion, the strength of your cable is such as to render its submersion a safe operation; the route to be followed is eminently favourable, and a good commercial speed is certain to be obtained. You secure the advan tage of a direct communication, and the risks you run are not greater in any way than those already surmounted. We are, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. FORDE, and C. F. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN. • LATIMER CLARKE, Messrs. Erlanger and Reuter. ;FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practice thereof. The pupils will be selected by cpmpetitivo examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and desciiptivo), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus ... ... 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... ..• ... 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) ... 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) ... ••• ... 2,500 French ... •.. •.. •.. ... 500 Elements of physic and chymistry ... 750 English grammar and composition ... 750 Geography and History 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will recaive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at ls. Gd. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days par week while away from their homes, either at the Szhool or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ those pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their. subsequen t career. The number of such pupils to bo selected this year is one shipwright and ono engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th 83ptember and three following days.

(From the Anglo-American Times.) Although confidently expected, the bald fact, as flashed along the Cable, comes with the suddenness of surprise. But last week this veteran politician held a foremost place in the American political arena. All knew that he was mortally ill, scarcely able to stand, scarcely able to speak, with sallow cheek and sunken eye, this old man of unconquer able energy still held his place, still fiercely faced his foes, and still turned in haughty defiance on his friends. Those who did not see the decrepid frame, but read the reports of Congressional proceedings, could not realize the fact that the extreme leader of the extreme party was tottering on the grave. It is because THAD. STEVENS, more than any other man stricken by age and sickness, has died in har ness—died on the floor of the House, that the vacancy comes on us almost with a startling shock, leaving a great place empty, before so thoroughly filled. THADDEUS STEVENS was born near the town of Peacham, in Caledonia County, State of Vermont, April 4, 1793. Dotted over the green mountain district were the rude homes of the yeo manry,ind in one of the rudest and most isolated this great American politician first saw the light. His mother, who appears early to have been left his sole guardian and support, was a respectable, hard working woman, but little TfIAD. never knew the joyousness of childhood. Away up the hill-side stood the school to which he daily toiled on his club foot; and moodily and alone went that sullen boy ; never mixing with his fellows, fiercely repelling their advances, and living as lonely a life as ever fell to the lot of childhood. He graduated at Dartmouth College, in the adjoin ing State of New Hampshire, and finally left his native hills while a very young man, and, strange to say, never to return. While in Pennsylvania, in 1814, as a teacher in an academy, he seized the opportunity of studying law, and was admitted to the bar in 1816. He was first elected to the State Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1833, continuing almost uninterruptedly till 1841, being returned also to the Convention to revise the State Consti tution. He was appointed a Canal Commissioner in 1838, and removed to Lancaster, a town about sixty miles west of Phi!adelphia, where in 1848 he was elected a State Representative to the 31st Con gress, returned for the 32d, 36th, 37th, 38th, 39th, and was re-elected to the present Congress, re ceiving 14,298 votes, against 8,675 thrown for his Democratic opponent, Reynolds. He was a mem ber of the Baltimore Convention in 1861, and last August the University of Vermont conferred on him the degree of LL.D. Like most young New Englander's of his day, when starting in life, he traded as a pedlar, and so successfully that he even tually became one of the great manufacturers of Pennsylvania. In LEE'S invasion a portion of that General's troops penetreted into Pennsylvania, and naturally the vengeance of the Confederates fell on the property of the most bitter foe the South ever I had. a d STEVEN'S Mills were burnt down, and PILICE 4d. STAMPED 5(11 he was a heavy loser by the Southern raid. From his first appearance in public life he became marked as a man of extreme views and unconquer able resolution, and the Pennsylvanian Legislature was shaken by the bitterness of the warfare he in troduced. Such a man is eitherleacler, or nothing; and he was quickly at the head of the Whig party after he appeared on the scene. One of the most relentless wars lie ever waged was against the Free masons of Pennsylvania, and he actually succeeded in bringing Mr. DALL,IS, the Grand Master, known in England as the American Minister fro:n 1856 to 1861, before a Legislative inquisition to compel him to disclose the secrets of the order. lie split up the State Government, and carried on the contest known as the Buckshot War. On the formation of the Republican party he joined it, and although his course in the Legislature of Pennsylvania had been so generally condemned as to lead to his withdrawal from public life for many years, the weakness of a new party at the outset, and in the face of a power ful opposition, made them welcome this doughty recruit. When fairly again on the scene, in 1856 he began that career which has made his name known throughout the world. Such was his nature that, wherever he appeared, he exercised a supreme control, for he was thoroughly in earnest, knew his own mind, and relied implicitly on himself. The idea that he could be wrong seemed never to cross his imagination ; and holding, therefore, that he was absolutely right, he allowed no consideration to turn him from his purpose. He was ready in debate, and overflowing with sarcastic humour. This he mercilessly used against all who even momentarily crossed his path ; and as men deriVe pleasure from the pain of others, when he rose the House filled, the rush being to the galleries, to the seats of the Representatives, and even the Senate came pouring into his Chamber. While his words thus rung out to listening ears, his personal appear ance was the reverse of commanding. his voice was weak and shrill, and he sputtered when speaking . eagerly ; his yellow, heavy, massive head was sur mounted by a wig strangely out of keeping with his age, and generally awry. his frame was thin and weak, while his natural deformity still more de tracted from his physical power. Yet his strength of mind surmounted these disadvantages, and lent an energy to his oratory that penetrated every brain, and grasped every heart. To the last, when almost sinking from weakness, a light woall suddenly gleam from his eye and his whole fratne would brighten into animation. Ills voice would ring clear and shrill ; with outstretched arm and long shaking hand he would hurl on the party or the in- dividual denunciations and scorn till he sank ex hausted in his chair, his mind still fiercely blazing though in so weak and sickly a case. Sack was his earnestness, such his per severance, coupled with a courage that knew uo fear, that he attained a position no American had ever before held, or is likely again to hold. He led a great party, but in an extreme to which that party did not always choose to go. Then he would turn as fiercely upon his followers as upon the opposition, and actually throw himself into the ranks of the enemy. It was a marvel how the party endured him, for never was there a man of more independent action ; and it is asserted, and with some truth, that an American politician must merge the individual in the party. Yet, leading, he opposed it—opposed it in caucus, in the Halls of the Legislature—in the columns of the Press. Without real culture, physically unfitted for the battle of life, without friend,;, without wealth, this strange man rose from his yeoman home on the green hills of Vermont to sway the destinies of the mightiest of nations, in the very crisis of that nation's life. And he did this by sheer earnestness of purpose, for never did there live one who passed through life with fewer personal friends and more enemies. During the period of the greatest trial, when men faltered before misfortune, and dis ruption hung over the Union, TIEADDEUS STEVENS was the soul of Congress. II?, seemed to be possessed with a strange spirit t) raise up the faint ['cartel, to animate the wavering, and to deride with an almost unearthly power those who dared to think of peace. Ile was the first to offer the resolution proclaiming freed:y:ll to slaves who took up arms for the North, an I it was owing in no small degree to his persistent efforts that slavery was finally abolished. But such a man, however fitted to lead lin times of revolution when at all hazards one end is to be attained, is ill adapted for the after period of reconciliation and concession, when the passions still rage though the st rife has ceased. No man can be a statesman who knows not how to concede ; no man is fitted to lead who re cognizes in his own notions the decrees of Provi dence. Though wholly ignorant of the science of political economy ho did not hesitate to form opi nions and sketch plans regarding the financial position of the country, and he was prepared to follow out these as he had done his other schemes. But the influence he had gained during the war was at its end rapidly wasted, and the memory of this American statesman would have been held in higher esteem had his life closed with the triumph of the North. He could hate with a fervent energy, but we do not know that he could love. The beautiful country of his birth knew him as a sullen boy, but it knew him no more. When his name rang over the world, on the green hill sides of Vermont the story of his life, though as a stranger, was often told with pride in his fame. Thousands visited the cottage where he was born ; but his own foot was never again planted on his native soil. At least, so says rumour, and if true it is a striking fact, and one which more than aught else illustrates the character of THADDEUS STEVENS. - WASHINGTON ruled when he was born, and his span embraced every President from the great Virginian to the little Tennesseean, the period of his life being that of the Great Republic. The New York Journal of the Telegraph says : " Over our sanctum is a room whore about 15 young ladies may daily be found engaged in telegraphic duties, The room is secluded, airy, and agreeable. It is presided over by Miss L. 11. Snow, a lady of superior executive ability, and a first-class operator. On Friday last, July 3, ten of the young ladies sent and received 3,135 messages between eight a.m. and 4} p.m., or an average of 814 messages each. On the following Tuesday the same young ladies sent and received over 3,000. The well( was done well, neatly, correctly, and to their very great credit. With such a record there is no use in doubting the capacity of ladies for this service.

A correspondent writing from Cork, by date Saturday, gives some further details of the agrarian outrage in Tipperary :—" Late yesterday evening," he says, " intelli gence was received of a singularly daring and sanguinary agrarian outrage having been committed at a place called Ballycoohey, in the neighbourhood of the Limerick Junc tion, and upon the borders of the county Tipperary. Mr. William Scully, brother of Mr. Vincent Scully, formerly M.P. for this county, while proceeding to execute extensive evictions on his property in that locality, under the pro tection of a party of five armed policemen, was fired on from one of the farmhouses, at which desperate resistance was offered to the execution of the legal process, and in the affray two of the policemen were shot dead, Mr. Scully himself receiving two wounds in the head. The scene of the outrage lies about two miles south of the Limerick Junction, on the verge of the broad and fertile plain known as the G olden Vein. Mr. Scully and his brother hold in this part of the country an extensive property, their management of which does not appear to have given satisfaction to their tenants. None of the family are popular, but Mr. William Scully seems to have incurred a particularly large share of ill-will in the locality of his estates. The causes of this feeling are those which generally bring landlords into dis repute in Ireland. He has been constantly embroiled in disputes with his tenants. Evictions have been by no means unfrcqucnt on his property, and in the assertion of his territorial rights he has occasionally come into actual collision with the people. Indeed, it may be said that in the whole of Tipperary there is not a better hated man. Circumstances of recent occurrence have imparted peculiar bitterness to the feeling against Mr. Scully. For the past three months thirty families on his estate in the neighbourhood of Ballycoohey have had notice to quit. As may be imagined, the prospect of so exten sive an eviction at a time when a very strong feeling exists in the county upon the subject of tenant right aroused a powerful sense of indignation and resent. ment against Mr. Scully. On Friday the period of notice to quit expired, and Mr. Scully prepared to takepossession of the land. Resistance of some sort appears to have been anticipated, for Scully secured the services of a party of five policemen—four sub-constables and a constable—as a protection to himself and his bailiffs while the eviction was being executed. Early on Friday morning Mr. Scully, his driver, and one bailiff, so escorted, pro. ceeded in cars to the scene of the evictions, and the cortege was noticed with no friendly feeling as it passed along the road. According to the information received here the demand for possession was made and complied with at several of the farms, but at one !arm, held by a family named Dwyer, sanguinary and desperate resistance, quite unparalleled in its premeditation and resoluteness, was experienced. Previous to the arrival of the evictors the occupants of this farm deliberately closed the dwelling-house and other premises, and, having pro vided themselves with firearms and ammunition, retired to the barn, which was the strongest building of the lot, barricaded the entrance, and prepared to dispute the pro- cess of the law. The arrangement of the farm buildings was that usual in Irish holdings. The various premises formed an irregular square, inclosing a narrow space called here the `bawn,' every part of which the barn commanded. When Mr. Scully and his party arrived they found the place silent and apparently deserted. A formal demand for surrender of the premises was made, but received no response. An attempt is stated to have been made to gain admission to the dwelling-house. This brought matters to a crisis, and precipitated the melan choly outrage. The party in the barn, the number and identity of whom cannot be ascertained, shelved them selves, and sternly warned Mr. Scully off. The police were then called on for assistance, and on the first demon stration made by them a deadly volley was discharged from the windows of the barn. Two of the sub-constables, named Gorman and • Murrough, were shot dead, and Mr. Scully received two wounds, not of a dangerous character. The driver and bailiff escaped unhurt, as did also the three remaining policemen. Surprised and panic. stricken by the sudden attack, and fearing that the barn was held by a numerous party, the survivors beat a hasty retreat, leaving their dead companions on the ground. No attempt to pursue them or to inflict further injury was made, and they regained the Limerick Junction, the nearest station at which refuge could be had, without further molestation. The alarming fatal occurrence was immediately reported at all the adjoining polices stations, and with the utmost expedition a numerous force was despatched to the scene of the encounter. The farmhouse was found quite deserted, its former occupants having availed themselves of the interval to make their escape. A close and extensive search of the neighbourhood was at once instituted, but without, so far as could be ascertained, revealing the smallest trace of the perpetrators of the outrage, and up to a late hour last night no arrests were reported to have been made. No definite information could be obtained from the neigh. bouring farmers. No one seemed to know anything of the outrage. Dogged and impenetrable reticence foiled the investigations of the authorities on every side. No opinion was expressed about the matter there was no exultation, and no expression of regret. In con sequence of these difficulties there is yet no certainty as to who were the perpetrators of the attack— whether they were the family threatened with eviction, net leg alone, or in combination with others, or total strangers. The occurrence, it is hardly necessary to say, has created the utmost excitement and alarm in the neighbourhood. The suspicion exists that there is more in the event than mere individual desperation stirred up by the terrible prospect before the evicted peasant ; and it is thought that the persons who committed the outrage may have been incited to it by connection with a secret organi sation from whom succour and concealment may have been expected ; otherwise the singular daring of the outrage, the contempt it indicated for the law, and the stern de. termination to oppose its execution, can hardly be accounted for. The rapid and complete escape of the tenants of the barn and their evasion of an extremely active pursuit are only explicable on the same theory. This impression has caused greater importance to be attached to the affair than if it were treated as an isolated individual outrage, and a corresponding amount of vigilance and activity is being exhibited by the autho rities. A large police force has been concentrated in the neighbourhood, and frequent and numerous searches are prosecuted in every place where either a trace of the criminals or of any other compromising matters are suspected to be concealed. The vigilance extends to the junction, which is under close surveillance, and last night every railway passenger was subjected to a per sonal search. Mr. Scully has been conveyed to his own residence near Dundrum, where he is under surgical treatment. An inquest will be held to-day on the bodies of the two unhappy policemen." Another correspondent gives the following version of the affair:—" Mr. Scully left Limerick Junction railway station on Friday morning, with Gorman, his steward, and Maher, a herd, escorted by Constables Maher, Kelly, Cleary, Collison, Cahill, and Murrough. The party walked down the line to the Ice House, and then took the fields to cross to Ballycoohey, when some signals were given, and a crowd numbering 100 or 310 persons assembled on all sides. Mr. Scully, armed with a double-barrelled breech-loader and a revolver, went with his steward and herd from house to house to serve notices, the people mean , while shouting out that they would have his life, and calling him ' robber ' and `murderer.' After he had lunched, the police advised him to return. He consented to do so but on the way back he resolved to visit the house of a tenant named Dwyer. A by-road leads to a quadrangular farm-yard, on one side of which is Dwyer's house. At right angles to the house, and facing the entrance, are out-offices, and on the other sides arc hedges. All seemed deserted. Mi. Scully, Gorman, and Maher first entered, the constables remaining at the end of the by-road to keep back the crowd. Two shots were immediately fired from the dwelling-house, and a third, which killed Gorman, from a rude porthole made in one of the out-offices. The shots fired at Mr. Scully came from a loft over a kitchen, where a feather-bed had been placed. He received three wounds in the head, one ball passing through his throat. Having tottered back to the lane, he fired a revolver at the house. Cleary, calling on his men, entered the enclosure end went into the kitchen, which was empty, the party having escaped through a hole in the thatch. Collison, finding Maher lying wounded, stopped to lift him, and was shot from an outhouse in the back of the head. Murrough was afterwards found dead in an angle of the building. He was riddled with bullets, ono having passed through the heart, Kelly was wounded in the thigh. Mr. Scully, having entered the house and taken from his steward some papers and a revolver, made his way to the house of Mr. Bolton, Lord Derby's agent, who shelAred him until he was escorted home to Ballina dough. From twelve to eighteen shots were fired. On searching the buildings the police found a blunderbuss burst, a five-barrelled revolver with two chambers dis• charged, bullets, cartridges, and a brandy bottle half full." Further news is to the eact that eight persons were arrested in the locality of the outrage, and lodged in Tip !Denary gaol. The inquest on the policemen killed at Dallycoohey was held on Saturday. Constable Cleary described the affray as having been brought on by Mr. Scully's persisting in 11'.8 service of notices after being advised by the police to desist. The jury found an open verdict, adding that th 9 conduct of Mr. Scully towards the tenantry of Bally. coohey was much to be deprecated, and that the sooner legislative enactments were passed to put a stop to such proceedings the bettor for the peace and welfare of the country. Unqualified disapproval of the dealings of Mr. Scully is everywhere (amused. a a
