Mr. Psaagat.. MP., delivered a lecture at Birkenhead
on Monday night on the Irish land question. He com-
plained of the misrepresentations in the English paper.
of Irish affairs, which tended to alienate the people oldie
two countries from each other. Ile denied that he had
told the Irish not to pay the landlords their rent, but
had urged them not to pay unjust rent The Irish pro Is
were now learning their own strength and were beginning
to rely on their own public opinion, and to care less for
that in Batista They were determined not to allow
Lord Beaconsfield to drive them into acts of violence,
and the result would be that they should attain their
object without the lons of a single life. He called upon
his hearers to assist his countrymen to obtain the legis-
lative independence of Ire and and the destruction of the
peewit land system. This system, he said, was doomed
to perish under the heavy blows which were now being
4 alt against it. A resolution in support of Mr. Parnell's
policy was carried with enthusiasm.

nooth. A young man named Kennedy, employed as
a farm servant on the farm of Rail-park, a few
hundred yards from the entrance gate at 3laynnoth,
appears to have been brutally assaulted! and is now
lying in the hospital in danger of his life. At nine
o'clock in the morning his mistress, a widow lady
named O'Neill, found the key in the yard, and on
entering the stable she found Kennedy lying wounded
on the bed, and beside him was • heavy axe, with
which it was evident the outrage had been comtnitted.
The handle of the axe wax broken near the top; it is
supposed by the force of one of the blows inflicted on
the man's shoulders, shattering the bones. He was a
atranger in the locality, having been only a few days
in it. His assailants must have been concealed inside
the stable, as the deceased had locked the door from
the inside before retiring to rest.

a nme performance of the clergyman, fired his revolver
at the divine, but am he missed him shot, the bullet
only whizzing past the rev, gentleman's ear, the latter
crotinued the discharge of his sacred functions until
the twain were one flesh. Thereupon, in order that
all things might be done in the best style, and accord-
ing to old-fashioned rule, he stepped forward and
kissed the bride. At this the jealous bridegroom was
wroth and smote him. Whereupon the reverend
church militant, he being a brawny priest of some six
feet in height, sprang over the chancel railing, and,
seising the newly-made bus and by the back of the
neck, gave him, under the cover of the pistols of the
newly-made brother-indaw, such • dreadful drubbing
that he will remember it as long as he lives. This
closed the marriage solemnities.
