THREATS:NEL) DISTURBANCES IN LIXERICC.—The fol-
lowing is extracted from the Limerick Chronicle of yes-
terday
A horse and car, laden with corn, of Mr. Edward Maunsell, of
Meelick, for the distillery, was stopped yesterday morning on the
read, by several countrymen, who ordered the driver to go back, but
Mr. !faun/ell insisting that he should have a free passage, one of the
party prevented a gus, and shot his horse dead upon the road. Up-
wards of 100 carload. of corn for this market were arrested yester-
day moraine, on the high road, at Shodian's-cross, and ordered to
return home. Thomas O'Grady, of Grange, Esq., bearing of the
interruption and disturbance likely to occur, repaired to the
scene, where a crowd was assembled, and after frequent urgent
renio.trinces upon the absurdity and danger of such lawless acts,
they were reluctantly induced to suffer the corn to paw into market,
where it arrived late; and only for the great local influence of
Mr. O'Grady, and his very popular character, this tardy indulgence
would not have been conceded without military aid. The landholders
and merchants have applied to the commonalty officer of this dis-
trict, fur protection to corn and provisions coming to 'market, as the
farmers are now at the mercy of any idle group upon the roods.
Thursd.l, several cars of corn, from the vicinity of Nenagh, were
stopped oar Rirdlill ; but were permitted to proceed to our market
under a police escort. A party of men dressed In women's clothes.
visited Mr. Ilealy at Mogullane, Newmarket-on-Fergus, and
cautioned him against selling any of his corn.
STEALING I. uoD.—Two sheep were stolen off lands near
Brnailforel, county Clare, on Wednesday night. During the
week several sheep have been killed in the neighbourhood of
Kennitty. The carcases were carried off, but the fleeces and
entiaile were left in the fields. Two cows of Mr. Dundon,
of Aansholty, near Castle-Connell, were killed on Thursday
night, and the carcases taken away. At Kilcolgan, county
Galway, on the estate of Mr. St. George, the haggard of one
of his tenants was entered by a number of persons, on Wed-
nesday night, who cut off all the ears of his stacks of wheat, I
and left the straw. A few nights ago the house of a farmer I
named Maloney, residing at Scarluff, King's County, was
attacked by an armed party, who rai.ed the thatch off wt
of the roof, tired four shots into the house, and ordered Ma-
loney te quit the place before a week. Wednesday last,
during the abaenc of the inmates, attending the funeral of
the late A. P. Doohui, Esq., a double-barrelled gun was
stolen from the gate house of Richard Ihunmersley, Erg.,
Corolunty, Shinrone.
COMPLAINT AND ADVICE OP AN IRISH LAND-
iono.—Sia,—Knoning the great circulation of your paper and
the Interest you feel In the welfare of Ireland, induces me
to take the liberty of calling your attention to the following. It
has not occurred to me, from seeing the misery of the starving
woe all around this part, though tut upon my property In
this barmy, that it would add much to the popularity of Lord John
Russell, If his lordship, with all the other paid servants of the eosin-
. try, and also such as have pensions, would now contribute 10 per
cent. from their walaries towards relieving the poor in Ireland. Such
sum could be easily apportioned among the 32 counties. I was very
glad to hear it reported, that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
with hie We-11th%, hoasehold, seeing the great distress of the poor of
Dublin, are going to contribute laigely foe their support, in which it
is said the judge), with their staff at the courts, together with the
police ofiliters, poar-Lor and drainage commissioners, will most
liberaly aoist. Of course it cannot be expected that such noblemen
and gentlemen will also contribute for the poor in the country parts
of Ireland. How meritorious such conduct will he, and what an
soamplewill the present government leave for their successors in
ottlot hereafter The two parties named Whigs and Tories have
governed this country now for years. In what state is it in
at pert at ! It has been my lot to live here now more than 30
years, foe the greater part of that period employing all the poor
around my propoty, sal ought tube some judge of how the country is
ruled. The fact is, the country has been jobbed and neglected, and
not managed honestly. I could mention many facts, but will only
state a few of our grievances. Why should a law be passed that doubly
taxes my property, and many others like me, to support the poor
upon property negiected by their landlords, who have wasted their
incomes not in the improvement of hurl I Why pass unjust laws to
tax property fifty miles trom the river Shannon, that dente, no im.
provenient hum it, and where the rivers all in this part rum Into the
river Boyne! We ore in this neighbourhood now to be awed ten thou-
sand pounds for th, improvement of a river. Why tax this county for •
lunatic saylwn at Minyborough, that is one hundred mike English
from the chief town, and of little use to the county? Why was it
arranged to have this asylum and Carlow within ten miles of each
°Cu r ! No doubt to please some Mends in power. In short, the way
all the local concerns are managed, both in the counties and towns,
more particularly in Dublin, no matter what party is in power, Is to
obtain patnweete, and to confer favours, but at the serious coat of the
public. Nothing is done for the good of the country that is not
chimed with difficulties and law without end ; it would be odd If it
wies otherwise, when such ken are lett volely to be settled by lawyers,
and no opinion tabot from country gentlemen. I have to apnlogi•e
fur intruding so long, and am, sir, your very obedient humble ser-
vant. T. J. Firremovos IL—Bracklyti Castle, Westmeath, Sept. 29.
THE NIOYLEARY ESTATES.—Sir,—Your paper of
the 22nd (natant, in stating that the Inhabitants about Moylesry, In
the county of Louth, sere in a starving condition, signalised me as
the owner of one of three estate• in that neighbourhood. You were,
however, in an error with regard to this assertion, my brother being
the owurr of the one alluded to, who has lone been too infirm to be
able to visit his tenantry, but who is universally admitted to be a most
kind aril Indulgent landlord, and whose practice It has been for many
years to leave a sum annually in the hands of his agent for the express
purpose of meeting any casual or unforeseen necessity, on account of
demote to which theft or their dwellings might be exposed during the
course of the year. Ido not wish, however, to Sad fault with even
the errors of newspapers in these matters, since they serve to awaken
attention, provided they serve not also the purposes of malignant
people ; and I had, in consequence of the above notice, written for
information on the subject, which, I am happy to say, is so far satis•
factory that It proves the statement to have been at least greatly ex-
aggerated ; for since the poor house was established, five year ago,
not a single pauper had been admitted into it from the parish of
bloyleary.—l am, sir, your most °bolt., ACOUSTI:S Forma.—Branksea
