THE Jors Or JhlsLIN Civv.—We learn from the
e Jutl,l4lo? that there have been a aeries
..f disgraceful 811,1 WBlll,ll ultimo:et against property in
the ....way of Dublin. Some of tin se painfully demon-
trite the necessity of increasing either the number or
the vigilante of the em,4-.l.uhiry in that district. Trees
lines, been ilestinycii, fay..nrite dogs hanged on their
owner's gates, and threatening notices served. A meet-
ing of magistrate+ has been held, &taste's; will he taken
to punish the. frenders.
Tug Punk-ti. l'Att.r.a.—The Corporation of !
stiign was enlicited by the Waterford t'orporation to
sums.rt a movement in favour if the gentlemen who
ran away from their ansigned districts in the oonvict
,ettlement to which they acre tratis:.orted in 1?-ist.
The Sligo l'orneration assembled and rcsolveu
That this loyal Corp.iration considers that these this-
•Rligled IX rums have done nothing since their re a
from the country to deserve the clement y of the free
l:overnment which they endeavonwl to subvert; and,
therefore, this C..nocil refmes to make any application
to Government respecting them.-
Intg.tnret. F.,*m.i.s!..N Alen Lirteß op I.lVr.c.—The
pats•re of Sstunlny bring the 111111eXeil account of
terrible explosion in a door-mill, by which five persons
were killed on the lira, and several others more or law

Injured by bairns :—" The valuable mills recently
erected by Mr. Robert Culbertson, at Ihellisealare, were
destroyed on Thursday evening, involving the hem, to
the present, of Ave live., and a large amount of pro-
perty. The mills were provided with separate water-
whin Is and machinery for grinding flour, and the mate-
rial known 89 alludes, or fire seeds—the latter being a
very inflammable article, usually ground only in fire-
proof buildings, which them mill* were. The cause of
the diaastrons occurrence lam not been rositively nicertaMed. but it is generally believed to have been an
explosion either of foul air or the dangerous material
then in course ed manufacture. Attached to the slmele
mill, and communicating with it by doors on its vartons
lefts, was a store not of fireteremf construction, which
contained large quantities of flour and aliudea. It is
probable that the explosion took place in the mill, which
being of in 111111111 l strength, resisted the shemk, and
forced the expanded air into the nelj ll ill awl weaker
building, where it wreaked its fury. The fil/OTS and
roof of the store were blown up, and fell in shattered
masses to the bottom of that building and into the ad-
joining yard. The noise of the explosion was heart at a
considerable distance, and dem-robed us resembling the
heavy thud of a mine. The mill i 111 l nediately took fire.
but the crowds that spenlily assemhied thought only of
rescuing the workmen involved in the ruins of the store.
It was appalling to sce thetas niim,l with f.-agmenta if
beams, and flooring, and dates, and the contents of
the lofts. A few minutea before the mill limume el neer-
rily, and the workmen cm, busy at their lal..urs, lent

the piles of wood and other di tn,, and four 11011 ,0 n-

saving the survivors. Ity this time the allude mill Wh4
cotnpletely on fire, and attention was directed t themfety
of the men ite it. George Smith, a confidential clerk,
who had littered the mill about the time of the explo-
sion, was found dead near a el-or, a portion of which,
broken by the expl.ion„ killed him. Ile has left • wife

SYMPATHY DIU THE dint of lianl blowing
on the Ultramontane horn a small section of the laity
has b. en spirited to take the field in favour of Papal
despotism, and to endorse, as it were, the views Kee-
-1 pounded by the priests of the diocess of Dublin at their
; late meeting, under the guidance of Archbishop Cullen.
! The laxly of laymen who have thus responded to the
I 1111 l UlOllll does not enjoy ally remarkable position either
in point of numben or station, being, in (Act, a semi-
religious fraternity, known as the Young Men's Catholic
Society, of which the Apostolic Delegate I • self is the
president, and which thinks and acts under the inspira-
tion of clerical influence. The periodical reunions of
the association afford but little room for artistic display.
Tuesday night, however, the case was dare:rent. awl the
threatened downfall of the temporal dominion of
the fisherman's auccesmr afforded abundant scope
to the gentlemen who figured as the more
prominent of the orators. As Dublin could not
produce a presentable chairman, the honour devolved
upon the O'Doteoghue, one of the members for the
county of Tipperary, who, by the way, has recently
thrown up Ins commis...ion ill the Queen's service as
Major in the Kerry Militia, in order it is to be pre-
sumed, to devote his unfettered allegiance to the Sove-
reign who exercises cc-a) over the minds and consch
niece of the It 1111 l an Catholics of Ireland. The parties
who figured on Tuesday night as the Pope's champions
nutmeg the Irish li.ity were Mr. .1. F. Nlnguire, M.P.,
Mr. I'. O'Brien, and Mr. John Pope Hennessy. the ill-
assorted members for the King's I 'ounty, Proreasir
I lennes.sy, Mr. CiSullivan, of the awl Mr.
O'Dwyer. Ex-Farmer of the Exclaeotter on a condo' table

other presentable name to be found in the list of
speakers; it is therefore 'smite ecessary to I illote
front the speeches, which occupy almost unlimited
space in the Frumani Journal and MI11.11; lig NI ira. A
long address of condolence with the Hedy Father was
agreed to.
