About tWehty-five years ago the present Bishop of
Cork went to lecture at Tralee against "The Errors of
Popery." There was a disturbance, and foremost among
the Roman Catholics who gave annoyance mita ft ytnng
inan named Moriarty, belonging to a dab 'of that name.
This same gentleman has just been appointed rector of
Tralee. Hu Interne a convert to Protestantism, and
has, as a clergyman, laboured for many years in propo-
gating its doctrines in the county of Kerry.
A men named ICLaren who holds the situation of
agriculturist on the Animatey estate, in the opuqty
Cavan, on Friday last received a notice. sivol "Molly
Maguire," threatening him rith detail if he did not
give up his situation and ieavo the neighbourhood.
The notice (says the Cavan Observer), though in a
diegnised hand, is not the production of an uneducated
person. _ _

A correspondent of the Freeman reports the follow-
ing attempt at abduction :—A desperato attempt was
made on the night of the 30th ult. to carry off by force
from her father's house, near Slim a respettable young
woman named Elise Davy. A Man nained Michael
O'Connor (a rejected sititot), accompanied by three
other men, stated, having obtained admittnnee;
O'Connor seized the girl and forced her 'Outside the door,
and placed her in • car WhiCh he had in Waiting, while
tWo of the men who accOnipaltied him held her sister
a *resat girl, aha prevented them from giving any
aiarch. HoWever, the screams of the young woman so
fri2htened the horse that he commenced kicking, broke
the shafts of the car, and ran off, as did also O'Connor
mid his companions on hearing persons approaching to
the rescue. The girl immediately returned to her
father's house. She was dreadfully frighteneth but
received no other injury. Her father could render no
aid at the time of the abduction, he being ill in bed.
O'Connor has been arrested and committed to gaol.
None of the othes three men can be identified by any
of Davys ,
tRISH SYMPATHY FOR ENGLISH DISTERSs.—A most
influential meeting was held in the Dublin Mansion
House on Tuesday, convened by the Lord Mayor, who
presided, to express sympathy with the sufferers in
Lancashire. The assembly was addressed by the Duke
of Leinster, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, the Archbishop of
Dublin, Sir. R. Peel, Lord Meath, Lotd Clonbrock,
Alderman Atkinson, and Sir. J. Power. Various reso-
lutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting
were unanimously passed, and the subscription in the
room amounted to £2,000.
hAttLlNetos FAIR.—The horse 'fair at Ballinsloe
ememenced on Tnesday, and there was a good demand
for superior animals. The supply, however, of this
, class was small, and every presentable animal was bought
up at good prices. There were very few agricultural
horses and the supply is estimated at about 20 per
cent. less than at last year's fair. There is a great
decrease in the number of horses In Ireland this year,
when compared with last. It appears by official returns
that the decrease amounts to about 10,000 animals.
The top price obtained at the fair on Tuesday was
£300; the next best price obtained was £260.
Harms THE MURDEHEIL—The inquiry into the con-
duct of the constabulary who, on the 31st of August
last, came in eight of Hayes, but did not capture him,
has resulted in the dismissal from the force of Constable
Hughes, who was in command of the party. He and
another eater were a mile or so in advance of the party
when they saw flays* in a field, running towards a
hiding-place. Hashes, who was armed with a revolver,
determined to go back for his men, although his comrade
offered to attempt the capture single-handed, if Hughes
would lend him the weapon. When the party re-
turned they could fiud no trace of Hayes. Hughes has
been a long time in the force, and had formerly distin-
guished himself.
GAVAZZI iii IBELAND.—Signer Gavattl was about to
lecture on Italy in the town of Newry, but the magis-
trates received information that if he did so serious
riots were certain to take place, which would end in
the destruction of property, perhaps loss of life. Two
of them intimated this fact to the minister in whose
church the lecture was to be held, and, consequently
the lecturer did not appear. The Newry Telegraph, in-
dignant at this prohibition by the mob, exclaims,—
"What, are freemen to be actually muscled? Are we
henceforth to have our public meetings, at which the
muses are enlightened, totally obliterated from our
social life? Can no free-spoken clergyman address a
Protestant assembly in a Protestant place of worship?
Never before in Newry was there such a spirit displayed.
Several times within a brief period have the principal
public rooms in this town been occupied by the Roman
Catholics and their lecturers,but did any one ever dream
that there would be a Protestant found to offer them
the slightest insult—the slightest injury ? For the
present we wish the world to know that we in
Newry cannot, for the reasons stated, procure a man of
note to lecture to our townspeople on any subject,
political or religions."
MUNICIPAL LITEHATURS—At the last meeting of
the Cork Town Council a somewhat celebrated member,
Mr. Bernard Sheenan, banded tho following notice of
motion, the reading and hispection of which afforded
considerable amusement :—" I Give Notice that in
futur we will have no application for Meleatious Injurie
in Fier, as everyone, Publick and Private, should in-
shure there own Houses and Coßiges alwayes, to save
the Citizens General Taxis.—BERNABD SaraNAN."
