IRELAND.

Dentix, Frn. 6.
A statement appeared in the .L.reenum's 'Journal
of yesterday, to thu elect that counsel omitted to
prove, on the part of the crown in the trial of Thorn-
ton
and liodgens at the special commission, the pro-
clamation of the barony in which the prisoners were
charged with having appeared with fire arms. Th.
statement turns out, however, to have liken utterly
unfounded ; the omission not having been made by
the crown prosecutors, but by the reporter, who in
sending off his despatch by express to the Freeman,
forget in the hurry to mention that part of the
evidence, namely, the reading of the proclamation
from the Dublin Gazelle.

The Arnuigh Guardian gives the following eata-
loguo of outrages:

In the face of the Special CO=ll4loll lawlessness exhibits
itself, and the agent., of riblionaan ply their harbarous trade
u it to challenge the authority of law, defying its powers,
' and apparently despising its terrors. Some few evenings
since, as a man named Bradley wva returning from Belly-
bay to his residence in the neighbourhood of that town, he
was waylaid by three men armed with " beetles," and
beaten until left for dead. Ilia wife, by whom he wu ac-
companied, was oleo brutally maltreated. And nearly at
the tame time and place, and it is believed by the same ruf-
fians, a man named Martin was likewise waylaid. During
these occurrences, a number of persons, women as well
as men, were looking on, end never interfered. In fact,
Bradley's wife caught hold of one woman, and cried to
her to save her; but .he was rudely shook off with, " You
deserved what you gut." A number of witnesses, who saw
and must Dave known the waylaying party, were examined
before a local magistrate, but nothing was elicit. .1 except
that a notorious character named Boyle, mho kept for
years (until recently suppressed by the Ballytrain police)
one of those places of ribbon rendezvous, a shebeen house,
war one of the principals. On Sunday night last, and in
the RAMC locality, there was a house burned to the ground;
and the third and "last" threatening letter, with the °rui-
nous black cottia,hu, it is said, been received by Mr. Lucas,
agent to Mrs. Lealie, of Bally hay.

A requisition, already numerously and most re-
spectably signed, was on Tuesday placed on the
Chamber of Commerce table, Limerick, inviting
Francis William Russell, Esq., to offer himself a
candidate for the representation of his native tits.
The Limerick Chronicle says :—" Loti Arundel is
slowly recovering ; his lordship intends' shortly to
visit his Limerick constituents, It has not entered
his mind to retire from the representation of this
city."
'fho Hon. Robert Daly, brother of Lord Dun-
sandle, passed through Galway, on Tuesday, on an
electioneering canvass. We have been told (says the
Galway {indicator) that his political professions are
rather liberal.

The widow of a seaman named Doyle obtained, in
the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, a verdict for
2:,01. damages against the Dublin and Cork Steam-
packet Company, for the death of her husband, who
was killed by a collision between tho Minerva, a
steamer belonging to that company, and the brig
William Rushton, of Liverpool. The action was
taken under Lord Campbell's Act.
