STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
The social and material condition of the country having
been referred to at length elsewhere, it is only necessary here
to say that, as respects crime and outrage, the accounts to-
day, with one fatal exception, which will he found below,
are particularly quiet in their character. They consist exclu-
sively ufdetails of the plunder of food, animal or meal. Here,
•heifer is earned off; there, a couple of fat sheep. Two alt
weer stolen from the grounds of a nunnery near Waterford,
en Monday night. In a third place, a barrel or two of wheat
L stolen, and a dock arms disappear in another. These
things *hew a disorganised state of social comity, but per•
baps we ought to regard them as the necessary accidents of
our condition. The extracts of most interest in the journals
remised since yesterday's despatch, are appended:
Coax.—The lion. John Boyle has sent a contribution
100. o he poor relief fund of the City of Cork. The
Earl Cork, Mr. Boyle's lather, has contributed 601. to
the Lee wards eup depot, Cork. Private subscriptions have
been I owing nto the unfortunate district of Skibbereen.
We earn from the Cork Constitution of yesterday, that a
relief; onsaaiseary, named Inglis, has arrived at Skibbereen.
Thettii octet his minion he keeps secret, but it is believed
that he is about establishing soup kitchens, having the com-
mand of funds raised by private subscriptions, by the Lord
Lieutenant, and the e...rs and ladies of his excellency's
spurt.

Coax WOEIROOSH.—The meeting of the board of guar-
dians of this union was held on Tuesday last, when there
were 4,137 paupers in the house. The decrease in the num-
bers on those of the previous week was 200. The number in
hospital was 1,131. At that meeting oatmeal was contracted
for at 211. 19s. 6d. a ton, and Indian meal at 181. 19e. 4d.
Beef was contracted for at 3d. the pound.
COAL PRY INTMINT SMSSIONII.—At the sessions N. Kin-
asialeas on Monday hat, one eixth of the valuation or the
ion i $.1041. was granted for drainage. A Mr. Benson
sonashod at the meeting, and it is a fact of much signifi-
cance, taati n the neighbourhood of Cork all the able-bodied
men are employed on the railways, and none oa the public
worse but the disabled and . unfortunate

At an extraordinary sessions for the barony of Dubs low,
held in Kanturk on Thursday last, the presentments
amounted to 12,0001., of which a large portion was taken
for drainage.
UNION WORK HOUSIN. —The guardians of the union
worahouasof Nenagh recently struck a rate of 4s. Sad. in the
pound on the division, which includes the town of Nenagh.
This caused inquiry to be made, and some maker's-
Sione have come to light. One guardian has, it appears, a
beneficial interest in ten contracts, and from another gum.-
than someflannel had been purchased by contract at a price
61d. per yard dearer than the like quality article could be
had from any retail house in Nenagh. The cost of main-
taining the workhouse of Nenagh, for the six months ending
September 29, 1846, was 3,&54L 10.. 1144. ; the number of
paupers in the workhouse on Saturday was 1,348 ; the fey, r
patients, 128; the average cost of each pauper for the week,
is. 10td.
TH —The guardians of this union met on Tuesday
last. There were then 910 paupers in the house, of whom
73 remained in hcepital. The average cost per week was
Is. 10d. The house was intended to accommodate 700 in-
mates only, but such was the number of applications for ad-
mission, the guardians were putting up 50 additional beds,
and contemplated taking an additional house. There are 22
electoral divisions in this union, in three of which no rate
has been Imposed. In the division which includes the town
of Tharles, the rate is 154 d. in the pound; in six others 5d.,
and in the remainder 24d. only.
WATIRPOID. —FATAL CONFLICT WITH THI POLICI.
—Two Meg SHOT. —The Waterford Chronic* gives a long
account of a conflict between the police and the peasantry, in
which two of the latter were shot. The circumstances seem
to he these :—A raffle, for a horse-skin was being held on
art Saturday night, in the house of a man named John
Sheehan, at Leamybrien, about six miles from Dungan
tan, on the road leading front that town to Waterford,
being within a few miles of Kilmacthomas. The police
of the etation, Leamybrien, having received information
that one John Coghlan, against whom there was a war-
rant for murder, was at this raffle, proceeded in a body,
to the number of six, to Sheehan'. house. On reaching it
Sour of the police entered, when the lights were all put out
is the kitchen, but there was • light in the room which one
of the police took up into the kitchen, when it was ex-
tinguished by some of the persons in the hone'. It would
appear that about eighty persona assembled there. Imme-
diately on the extinguishing of the light, a fearful scuffle
ensued in the dark between the four police and the people,
in which some of the police were disarmed. The police
succeeded in getting out of the hove, when they (the
police) were immediately followed 1V a number of men
with sticks out of the house, and a desperate conflict took
place, terminating in the shooting of the two unfortunate
men, Coghlan and Mooney. An inquest was partially held
on the bodies, at the scene of the conflict, on Sunday morn-
ing, as fee as seeing the bodies. It was terminated in
Dungsrvan, on Monday evening, about six o'clock. Mr.
Gamble was the coroner. Verdict, " Justifiable homicide."
From another account I learn that both these men were bad
characters, and that Coghlan was known for years as the
leader of a gang called "the Poleens," who were accustomed
to disturb!' airs by their rioting.

SCOTLAND.
iIIOtTAIID Deararrrnots.—A nthscription having been
set on foot in Edinburgh to relieve the destitution re-
ported to prevail in the highlands, a oemmittes was sent
round to collect money. Among etbseegpleitkland propri-
etor (whose name we have), a tin the city,
was called upon to subscribe, =ltidedlned to do, giv-
ing in writing, lest he should be minrspeeseded, the follow-
ing statement :--" I came into the peemesion ditty property
at an early period of my life, and soon became acquainted
with the real character of the highlanders. But, an compli-
ance with the opinions of my seniors, I tried every means to
render the impedevessent of my estate compatible with the
retention of the pepakition. I gave army encouragement,
and long :lessee ; but .sedition, which were readily agreed
to, and many promisee, were set at nought, and my land was
worse at the end theta it was at the beginning. I began,
