incident:
Mr. James M'Cartls),y acting upon the principle of
" Ireland for the Irish, and who declared himself for Mr.
Francis William Raise. it on Saturday evening, when he
offered to address the crowd from that gentleman's com-
mittee rooms, has become so obnoxious to the partisans of
Lord Arundel, that on Monday morning he was assailed by
a number of porters from Arthur's-quay, who pelted him
with turf in Francis-street, and vociferated at hint most
opprobrious epithets. Mr. M'Carthy defended himself man-
fully, and challenges! any one of his assailants to stand out
and meet him single-handed, but they modestly declined
the invitation, and took good care to keep from arm's
iength. 'the missiles, however, flew about Mr. M'Carthy,
and he called to Mr. J. S. Dwyer, a county magistrate,
whose coot sleeve some of the mob tore away when he
strove to hold one of the leaders in the outrage arrested by
Mr. M'Carthy. At a subsequent period of the day Mr.
al`Carthy was again assailed in the streets, and his
brother, Mr. Charles M'Carthy, was aloe struck for offering
to protect his brother. Both gentlemen, however, gave
their violent assailauts more than they hail desired. Mr.
James M'Carthy, when provoked by the dastardly attacks
made uon him, denounced the mob as " priest-ridden
ruffians," unworthy the name of Irishmen.
The following address, explanatory of the course
pursued by him, has been issued by Mr. Russell :
TV TUE FIZZ AND INDEPENDENT ELECTUtts OF THE CITY
UP LIMEMICIL.
Fellow Citizens,—llaving now completed my canvass I
should not for a nuoaieut hesitate to proceed to the pull if 1
were not restrained by motives which outweigh every pommel
consideration. As a general election is so near at baud! have
been appealed to by many of my most stalled friends and
supporters nut to prolong the present contest ; and 1 have
yielded to their representations rather than euelanger the
peace of the city, and be a party to a continuance, of the
religious excitement which now prevails, and which has
reached to such a height as to peril the free exercise of the
franchise. The regard I entertain for my fellow citizens of
every class and creed is so warm and sincere, that it would
grieve me to have catholic divided against catholic, and to
see the different religious creeds iu our city arrayed iu open
hostility. The renewal of sectarian strife at the present
moment would undo all the blessings we have enjoyed
from the cultivation of those kindly feelings that hitherto
existed amongst us. 'the constituency has, I am proud
to say, almost universally admitted my Piet claims to
represent my native, city in parliament; and I have, un
my canvass, everywhere received the strongest assurances
of future support from those who view the present
struggle as w holly of a religious character, arising from extra-
ordinary events, whch I we aever in witaess.

the extraordinary meeting of shareholders, held on the 20th
day of NI.IV, submittal a statement of the policy by which
they consider d the company's interest would be best
served, together with an explanation of the share capital of

t lure of all the shares in armor of call, which were immedi-
' ately appropriated to other parties who had applied fur
them. The property phut* of the entire line and the no-
tices to landowners and occupiers have been served. Agree-
ments for purchases of land for a considerable portion
of the line have been completed, and treaties arc in progress
for the remainder. The line having been finally laid down,
plans and specifications for letting the works are in course
of preparation, and when c mutleted contracts will be en,
tend into. Satnifactory getnents have been mode in
respect to balances due to the tram road companies."
The CILA I RMAN, after some remarks, said he had great
plensure in rousing the adoption of the report.
In an-wer to Mr. Wtlll.llSWOltill,
The CIIAIICSI.IN observed that a very large portion of
the train-way would come into use, in some instances for
many miles together, and that it would be found extremely
valuable in bringing down materials with which to form the
line. Ile hoped, in about a month's time, that the con-
tracts would be so far perfected m to enable the engineer to
proceed vigorously with the works.
After some conversation, the report was adopted.
Sir R. I'ItICE, M.P., congratulated the meeting on the
forfeited shares having got into good hands, and on the
reduction of price fur the land and iron ; and he concluded
by proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman for his real
and perseverance in promoting the completion of the line.
Mr. CHEYTOR. seconded the proposition, which was
unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN, in responding, said his utmost oxer
tions would continue to be used with a view to the pro-
sperity of the concern, in which he was a large shareholder.
Mr. FAItQIt lIAIt, one of the directors, explained what
had fallen from him at the last meeting. Ile then said that
the company was untrammelled, but he did not and could
not go so far as to promise that the directors would never
enter into negotiations with other,. The company stood
now, a, it had done then, ptrfeetly unfettered and un-
' pledged, but to say that no possible state of things might
arise which would alter the present aspect of affairs, would
be absurd. (Hear.)
The meeting then separated.
