From the following oommnoication, reed yesterday
at the North Dublin Board of Guardians it will be
teen that the Inoambered Estates Commisliceers are
pita willing to @were the discharge of all arrears of
rates due on properties which an sold in their court,
provided the payment be applied for before the dis-
tribution of the foe& ; bat the purchasers of property
under the commission would do well, before paying
ell the parch... money, to see that application be
made by the onion in which the estate hes for the
arrears, as I believe that cues have arisen in which
that precaution having been neglected, the new pro-
prietor his toned himself saddled with a very unex-
pected liability.

A correspoodent of the Freeman, writing from
Hilbeggan, is the county of Westmeath, gives the
following particulars of an attempted assassination in
that neighbourhood. This occurrence, it will be
ebserved, took ilace not very far from the locality
where Mr. North, the magistrate, was recently mur-
dered :
Michael Colgan, Esq., and nephew, Marcus Colgan,
were proceeding along in a tax cart or gig from the fair of
Toilsome' yesterday afternoon, to their risithenci I, Donor*,
about four miles from this town and nine from Tolls. When
they rot within about a quarter of • mile of the residence of
Mr. Colgan, senior, at a part of the road leading to the widow
Colgan's house, young Mr. CAgsa pot nut of the pi and
preeiteded home to his mother's, a abort distance off; his
onele proceeded with the gig and horse by himself to hie
home, and when he was within a few yards of the messes of
Weems leading to the hour, he wee fired at by some SIIPOSIIIII
who laid wait toe him In a small grove of trees close by the
road. This took place about the hour of six o'clock
in the events,. Vcry fortunately the shot did sot
take rifest oil Mr. Colgari's body, though the firearm was
heavily loaded with slugs, as nearly the whole of its
contests were lodged is the body of the gig. Young Mr.
Colgan had not coos but a short distance when he heard the
shot. Fearing mouth* had happened, he precluded as fast
his could tower& where the shot was flied. He came op

with his each at tie bouse who stated what took pled.
Year/ Mr. Colgan lost no tear in making the matter knows
to the next station of pollee (Btrreestown). A party of
them proceeded to a hour a short distance from when the
enamor took plasm, and arrested a man of the name of
Peter Parr, a tenant of Mr. Coign, senior. On searching
him they found in one of his pockets some slugs and gun-
saps. Ais days previous Mr. Colgan bad seis don this

that Me. Colsan is a catholic gentleman, • most 'lntensive,
respectable farmer, • quiet charitable perm of a most ea-
rliest character. He I. a middle basolord, end his tenant
alluded to is also a man of good ohms» r. There is no
doubt that Fern will be committed to nun his trial for
the Winos. Tinos has been a travelling pedlar committed
for further remind.» for the murder of Mr. North. His

The additional police force distributed through the
north riding of Tipperary has been withdrawn, and
maned to the central depot in Dublin. This tells
fairly for Tipperary ; and in fact, with the exception
of isolated oases of crop lifting, we now hear of few
violations of the law in that county.
The Mmrquis of Londonderry has been visiting his
various estates throughout Ulster, and lecturing his
tent ,re on them viva ere as well as by lettere in the
newspapers. /1 few days sines he ordered his
tenantry on his Tally estates, in the runty of Derry,
to be assembled, foe the purpose of introducing to
them a new !gent, and in doing so he addressed them
in the following characteristic drain:
My blends, I am glad to see you all ones more, and hope
nu are prepared to meet me here this day. (A voice—
There Is a importer is the room, my lord.) He hoped it
therm was, that reporter would put down all he said, nor

the world. B. was sorry that, after ell be bad dm» for hie
tenantry, they

tree es word nab» them to meet him, and still they were
very little better for getting such ladnigene from him.
