"Demonstrations " are the popular phenomena of
the day. All h the southern counties excite-
swat prevails Tat assumes the shape of a public
accsally--a lea dangerous vent for the popular. I?as-
ins Van the midnight conspiracy. In Limenck,
mace especially, this fermentation is universally pre-
relent among the peasantry ; and a more dark and
vengeful population than the peasantry of Limerick
does not exist in Europe. The poor-law is at the
bottom of the movement, which is quite distinct from
the terant-right agitation. The out-door relief Is
acceptable enough ; but the condition prece-
dent, of a full worunouse u a stumoung
block, which they seek to cross in vain.
Hence the clamour and turbulence. One peculiarity
of these pauper gatherings is the absence of all dis-
crimination in their treatment of persons. The priest
and the parson equally come under the code of Garry-
tine. I dare not abridge the following graphic de-
scription of the " demonstration " on the Oarryftne
Mountain, and the results which followed the move-
ments of the local jorquerie. At Ballygrane a similar
gathering took place on Wednesday, to the serious
damage of the Rev. Mr. O'Flanagan's potatoes,
eight barrels' of which were anpitted and appro-
priated :

A question &very great importance
_ as regards the
future operations of the Poor Extension Act, has been
mooted at the Balbriggan sessions before the Assistant
Barrister, Mr. Kemmia. An appeal was lodged by
the guardians of the electoral division of Balbriggan,
in the union of Balrothery, against the guardians
of the union at large, on two grounds—first,
for having refused a revision of the registry-
books of the union, for the purpose of alter-
ing the chargeability of paupers charged against,
the Balbriggan division; and, second, for having
continued to charge certain paupers on the division
after the recent act ; the question at i/11110 between the
parties was, whether the 10th Vic., ch. 31, had or had
not a restroepective operation. It was contended for
the appellants, on the true construction of the act,
that the electoral division was not chargeable, unless
the pauper had obtained a settlement by residence in
the division for thirty months, and that the absence
of such qualification cast the maintenance of the
pauper on the union at large. It was further con-
tended that the guardians were bound to revise the
registry in that particular at every meeting. This view
of the case gave a double aspect to the law—
prospective and retrospective. On the other side it
was argued that the acts, taken together, provided
for three classes of paupers : Sret, those who obtained
a settlement by simple residence; secondly, those who
obtained it by twelve months' ; and thirdly, by thirty
months' residence under the last act; and that the
rights of all had a distinct and separate existence.
The register, in the schedule to the original poor law,
only provided a column for the townland on which
the party resided, but there was no enactment
enabling any alteration, by inserting the time
when residence commenced ; ergo, the electoral divi-
sion was properly chargeable with all who were on
registry, whether having a previous residence or not
prior to the passing of the late act. The determina-
tion of this question in favour of the appeal would be
productive of very serious consequences. The chair-
man took time to deliberate ; and well he might, for
he had to weigh the adverse opinions of two attor-
neys-general. The late attorney-general, Mr. Greene,
was in favour of the respondents, and the present,
Mr. Moore, of the appellants.

.
STATE OF TEI ConNvitv.—Captain Browrigg, provincial
inspector of constabulary, a man of great experience and real,
has been sent to the south on duty, to investigate the circum-
stances connected with the murder of Mr. Roe, and to
direct active measures for making amenable such parties as
may be affected by the information he receives. Govern-
ment will leave no effort untried to discover and punish
whoever may have perpetrated this murder. or partici-
pated in any way in the councils of those who planned it.
Mr. Greville has with benevolent consideration instructed
his @gent in Ireland to abate the tenantry on his Cavan
Mates 50 per cent., and more in some instances, when the
tenants came in to pay the rents. Mr. °resins has thus w-
owed more rents on his estates than those who undertake to
end them rigorously. It is said that fever is very prove-
lest in Kell., owing to the frequent relapses of the
rillimts affected, which the destitution of their circumstances
indacts.—The public lamp. of Limerick are lighted at the
rate of 31. 15e. per lamp.—Col. Jones, who, in addition to his
fanctiOns or chairman d the board of works, fills the office of
chid tommisaioner of the Shannon Navigation, has pro-
treaded to that river upon a tour of inspection, and will,
without doubt, afford considerable employment to the In-
homing population ere be returns to town.—The landed
proprietors of Limerick have applied for loans for improve-
ment to the amount of 36,3431., of which the Misses Gas-
coigne, who own large estates near Kilmalloch, in that
county, have applied for 24,7631.
RattwAT ACCIDENTB.—Fonz accidents, three of which
terminated fatally, are recorded today in the Irish journals.
Two occurred on the Raven Extension of the Drogheda
Railway ; one on the Belfast and Ballymena ; and one, the
Octal of which is not expected to survive, on the Ulster line
at Belted.
