IHE LETA ASSESEINATION IN THE QUERN'S
COUNTY.

Saunders' 11 fetes Letter of yesterday, gives the
following in reterenos to the ammarination of lir. Ely :
" ROICASA. WIDNISIIDAY.—The murder of this kind.
hearted and respected gentleman has spread amongst all
ranks a strong haw of horror. The peasantry in hb own
immediate neighbourhood, to whom he wadi a kind bitted and
a good employer, mourn his loss, and express in strong terms
their deep feelings of gratitude for him many benevolent
seta. They know the hand which elev. their benefactor
and friend. They talk openly and boldly of the brutal
atrocity—they don't attempt to conceal their knowledge of
the name of the samosa° —still they have no dread or
honor of the fearful crime; they are corrupted by the
familiarity of inch atrocities, and they content themselves
with expression' of lamentation and regret at the leas
which they have sustained by the death of Mr. Ely. The
assambs, although well known, is permitted to roam at
large—no hand is ouuttretobsti to secure Wm, and in every
cottage he is tenant of shelter sad protection; and the per do not evince, notwithstanding Mr. Ely's popularity,
the slightest williagnees to aid the officers of jostle to appre-
hend the amassin. The authorities continue to pursue their
inquiries privately, and are taking every possible measure for
the capture at the murderer, but up to the present their beat
efforts have base fruitless. No further facts of importance
in addition to those already published have since transpired,
but the following description of the suspected assassin and
other particulars concerning him is taken from lost night's
liVialOseette er lime and Ory :
_

." Qualm's Co UNIT. —Dcwoription onames Delany, native
of Rosehaun, who stands charged with having, no the night
of 6th November, 1868, in the barony of Cloadmagh, parish
of Kyle, fired at and dangerously wounded Richard Ely,
Req., In the left arm, from the effects of wLieh he died on the
Bth. :—Thlrty ram of age, five feet seven inches high, slight
make, allow complazion, thin face, regular nose, dark brown
hair • woes airey tweed frookcoat, grey tweed trousers, grey
tweed rent. He bed • piece of cord sewed on the right leg of
trousers ever the base; is slightly pnokpitted. Is unable to
state what kind of bat or cap he la likely to wear, se the ass
he had an fell off after discharging the shot. This man is
likely to migrate fr3m either Cork, Galway, Waterford, or
Dublin.'

Another account says :
" The district has not been altogether peaceable lately,
two gentlemen in the neighbourhood having received threats
ening notioes. It was sought some time since to plain the
herony of Cletnernagh, In which Ballaghniore is situate,
under the operation at the Peace Preeervation Act ; but the
matter (partly for political reasona) was aPeosial, and the ap-
plication was not granted. It was also sought to have
a police station in a house within twenty yards
of where the murder took place, and which had formerly
her meld as a police-barrack ; this wee also opposed, and
amongi ,the opponents was Mr. Ely. A meeting of the
magistrataa was held after the funeral at Borrie-in-Ossory
the details did not transpire, but it I. the anxious desire at
the well-disposed classes that a Isine toms of police should
be immediately placed in the locali,y, under the immediate
direction of a special resident magistrate, as it can hardly be
supposed that the local J.P.'s can devote their time to • teas
which, though not, strictly speaking, of an agrarian charms
ter, yet will require to be caretully handled, the party
charged being closely connected by relationatip with half this
families in the populous district in which he lived. The
present resident magineste L stationed at Maryborongh,
which Is upwards of twenty miles distant. It is probable
that a county meeting of the magistrates will ensemble in •
few days, and that Sir Charles Conte, who held the deceased
in the highest esteem as one of hie extensive tenants, will
take ea active part in it and • large reward will be sub-
mit:ed. The scene of the murder is a abort distance from
the high reed from Limerick to Dublin, end about three
mike dialect from the town of Horrid-in•Ostiory. The pro-
perty has been lathe hand, of the Ely family without inter-
ruption aims Cromwell rested there."
