The following details relative to tho murderous
attack made on Mr. Meredith Chainbie, of Haw-
thorn-hill, in the aunty of Armagh, are furnished by
a load correspondent of the Daily E.rpreas:

The Newry Te'ryraph, which reached us this
morning. contains in a second edition the following
latest intelligence, dated Forkhill, 5 o'clock p.m.
Wednesday " Poor eitambri, is in a deplorable
state, with little hopes of his recovery. Ills eye is
smashed ; he has been almost unconscious ever
since."

A correspondent of the 7eleyraph gives the fol-
lowing particulars of an attack upon the agent of
the NEurquis of Chturicarde, which would show that
Hibboni►m has extended westward:—
As ►tobert D*.trey, of Woodville, J.P., agent to the Mu-
quint of Clanriearde, was proceeding home in his gig on
?seeds, evening at hall-past 6 o'clock, he was met by two
men near the hill of 'Fulls, a mile from Loughrea, one of
whom caught the reins of the horse, and struck Mr. D'Arev
on the forehead with a stone, which threw him backward
in the sic, while the other 'moulted him with a heavy
stick. inflicting a severe wound on the right aide of the
head near the temple. Both men then attempted to pull
him out of the mg, for the purpose, it is thought, of mur-
dering him, but were prevented by the arrival of one of
Mr. D'Arey's herds. The outrage is considered to have
been communed to revenge some recent evictions on other
parts of the marquis's property, over which Mr. D'Arey is
agent. 7'h• perpetrators escaped. TM police are on tho
look out for them. An investigation will take place on
Thursday oast.

snlidated annuities, are to be brought under eon-
side:sedan.
