THE CARRICK-ON-SUIR AFFAIR.
We have at leugth r+ ached the facts of the Carric
rk k-on.
Buir case, which seem to tare been the ground Ca of ex.
traordinary exaggeration. The Rev. Mr. Byrne was never,
it appears, in arrest at all. The bridewell of Carrick wee
never attace at all-confiqently, it was nut broken. The
men placed kund d,r arrest were liberated on beil-not other-
wise. Nevertheless, the aspect the affair assumed must have
struck the authorities as serious when the necessity of moving
so many police and military was derived from it. Vast num•
bets of the yeasenfry 6.icked into Carrick in aid of the clubs,
stet many hundreds of them were armed, some with
rifles, some with guns many with pikes, and many with
scythes and bill•hook's on the top of poles—formid-
able arid unusual weapons in this country. The
bells of the neighbouring Roman catholic churches rar.g out
an alarm, und so great alacrity did the people manifest in
obeyiug the alarm, that a large funeral procession which
had reached a neighbouring churchyard was immediately
deserted by the men, and the burial of the dead committed
to the women in attendance. Fortunately, the influence of
the Rev. Mr. Berne was sufficient to prevent any direct vio-
lation of the law by the people, and the prudence of the
authorities in removing the tew police and military within
the walls of their Wrack', keeping them under arms, how•
ever, preventrd any collision. This rev. gentleman (Mr.
Byrne) has written a litter to the Evening Post, from
whence I take the following account of this bloodlessri"s"e.
The rev. geedh man writes warmly :
