MURDER OF Mit. T. B. BROWNE'S AGENT.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS.
SIR,—Upon my return from Paris 1 read the
account you gave of my agent being shot at in Ireland.
The account how ever wee nut quite correct, and it might be
well to let the real facts be known. I bought the littlo
town of Cappagh while in Tipperary, three years sg) th,t
rates were about 7e. 6d. in the pound, the people !varying.
1 employed them all; spent about 3,0001. a year in lativar ;
reduced the rates to about 25.; pulled down no noose, dis-
poses* sed no tenants, except a man who gained pis‘, scion
by fraud ; had the estate re-valued by • local sur.eyor,
with directions to put it rather under the value, cud then
offered all the tenants leases; a great many glaa:y took
them, but others combined to resist it, and thought by
killing my agent they would have everything their own
way. I have now given them all notice to leave, and I
call upon government to send me more police, to be loomed
upon the townlands, as they, by their mistaken clemency
to ;convicted murderers this year, have been, in • ,31
measure, the c..ue• of this end

SUBMARINE PETARDS AT KERTCLI.—The :rfurtiteUr
of yesterday contains a despot:l from Admiral Bruat,
dated June 1, in which, describing the advance through the
of Cape St. Paul, he say' ;--'. A great many ships
rasznesen sunk in the pass. Scattered by the enemata end
the melting of the ice, these ships were so many mere, the
approach to which was not revealed by sounding., cud of
the position of which we were entirely ignor..et. The enemy
had also laid here and there at the bottom sumo infernal
machines. like those we hate found in the arsenal of Kertcb,
' where we have been able to 'Kaoline them at our *Leisure. A
triple wire, cased in gum perch', ounnected these rmaillinas
with an electric apparatus placed in the St. Paul L.lttery.
' In this manner it would have been easy, es SOOR SS our ships
I sot entangled in the pus, to cause these submarine peverds
se eitplode instantaneously under their sides, the alit. of
which ezploeion must be decisive, provided it wire to take
Anse at the precise moment."
