IRISII S 1 POYS.

In connection with the events in India, it may
be recollected that in the course of last week an
inflammatory placard was posted in the town of
Carrick-on-Euir, to the sreat scandal of the peacc-
nble end well disposed inhabitants of the place,
who lost no time in taking measures to express
their horror of the sentiments embodied in the
atro7ious document. A meeting of the town com-
missioners, the majority composed of Boman
Catholics and Liberals, was held there on Wed-
nesday, when the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted—
Reso'ved,—Th dt haring heard with nnmi'iga`ed su.pri e
and pain that a placard of a sediticui and icilammatory
nature has been.pLstel through oar town, the act, we feel
sAikfled, of some individual miscreant, endeavr,uring to
excite disaffection in the minds of the people, re take this
the earliest onp:mtuoity to denounce such c"nduct i 1 the
most unqualified terms; and while we regard any attempt
to enlist the sympathy of even (tie indivi.;u in this place
for the iv farious purpose intended as utterly futile, aid
dsesving of our moat pm fsuni contempt, we, nevertheless,
are determined to use the moi,t strenuous meat s to disc suer
and bring to justice the indirdnal who had the hardihood
to perpetrat?, such an insult to the peaceable character of
our town ; and that, for thi-s purpose, a Eubsciption be
openel, and a regard ffered for the detection uf the perpe-
trator ef this outrage."

The Free. Press (113tnan Catholic and Ultra-
Libel...ll) adds:—

" A subscription HA was opened, and all the •cnmmis-
sioners present enrollel therein, Til;R day, tie 17th of
S,e,:tember, 1857, the matter was brotizbt utder the notice
of the local jostic~e at petty scssions, who all subserib-rd
largely. It is expected that the local sabscripions will,
in a few days, exceed £lOO ; when the reward will be
'published, and the incendiary in all probability di,covered.
It should be remarked that it no .v appears that these
inflammatory placards were not confined to this town
alone, but were also posted ve'y generally in the rum!
districts of Kilkenny and Waterford. There is bat one
feeling here among all claw, s—that is an ataions desire to
discover, and bring the offlnder to condign punishment."
As a set-off to this discreditable display of right
feeling,it is but fair that the British public should
know that the section of the Irish press devoted
to the Sepoy interest continues its foul work with
unabated zeal. One of those champions of Jena
Sahib, in its number of Saturday, positively
aloats over the temporary reverses of the gallant
Havelock, to whom the Nana/1 refers in these
terms:—

General Havelock has ir.en gaining greet victories over
the rebe's, four or five per diem on an average, and marching
enc, mous distances in veil short times. He is shortly to
receive the title of General Jack the Giantkiller. It is not
tebe s 'apposed fer a moment that any namber, small or large,
of the British troops are e►er beaten to sops, or kick np tbeir
heels and run f• r their lives across the •country. No !
perish the thouelitl—they only'" retire," or "are thrown
icto a little canft slots," or "receive a check:" So it was
et Agra, and so it has been with her Majesty's 10th Reoi-
ment of Foot, mording to tee last accounts.; so it has
been, we venture to say, on many other occasions cf which
we have as yet heard nothing, fad as the British do not
wish to speak of them, we probably -shill never bear a
word, Lord Canning having garotted the press of India.
This gatot,ing, however, be it remarked, was only done
to prevent the wen from ;prai4ing•the British too much
and publishing to the world their highly creditable acts.
The modesty of the Briton cou'd not stand the'.
And again, with reference to its especial favourite,
the Nation says:—
The issurgents, it is said, have been defeated in eeveral
engagements by the treops under General Havelock. Nana
Sahib, we are lola, is no more. He was the only man
arming the iasurzent cithfs who set-m% to have studied
British his'ory end to have adopted British vigour. He
spared none of tee filibusters oho fell into his hinds, and
theirs was a terrible fete indeed, to fell into the hands of a
foe nearly as savage as Ludlow, as mercil, as as Cremwell !
Pethapv, as the victims of Nena S wt re 83 few, it would
be to much4o compare his rigoni'with that of those bloody
monsters, or presume to e' -vote to the dignity of a crown-
ing mercy' the bort° sof C twnpore. He certainly made
a faint endear our to copy British tactics as practised in
Ireland; and, as in life so in death, ha imitated the
British generals ; following the example of Stalk,ar and
Eth,idge, he ended his eat eer by suicide. Elareleck seems
to be pushing on rapidly to relieve Lueknow, the impor-
tancec,f which it would seem he was fully aware of; but
there seems far more 111;6'U:en-I of the siege of D.;:hi being
raised than that of Lue'euow ; a few mare sorties &nth as
those repor e t by th's m'it, and there would not be a
British tent vs ithia sight of Shakjehanaba ."

A,CPNT of Byte NEvts.—A correspondent writes :—" I,
wi h four fiends from let ,nchester, staying at Fort
Wiliam Hotel, N. 8., darted at nine o'clock to ascent
Ben Nevis, tbrceigh great difficulties—a pouring rah and
thick mist—and after Eve hour'',4 hard walking, Rai
without a few tumbles, at leng h we reached the summit,
when we were glad to take our refreshment. On looking
abc:ut. to my crear,cle izht, I picked up a copy of the
Morning Star, of September 11th, of which I enclose you
a parr. I woe glad and much pleased to have an opp r
tunity of seeing my dai'y pager nearly 600 mites from
London and 4,380 feet above the level of the sea, and with
a view of 170 miles in extent. I would advise my cockle)
fli:nds who have a fortnight to spare to visit this part of
the world. They will find mine host vary obliging, easrges
moderate, and guides civil ; also salmon, trout, and tea
fishing "
THE WAQIIINGTON ENDFMCC.—The Washington cor-
respondent of the Fhilade:phia Inquirer, has the following
paragraph in reference to the National lintel of that city,
made famous for the serious disease which attacked its
boarders last winter. If the closing sentence be true, the
writer should be called upon to explain himself, and the
horrid crime at which he hints, may be brought to light:—
"A firm of New Hampshire Yankees, Messrs. Chapman
and Co., have had the temerity to lease the far-famed Na-
tionnl Hotel, and are making active preparations to re-
open it, doubtle,s with the expectation of making their
fortune. This seems, under all the circumstances, like a
desperate undertaking, but they have gone the right way
to work ; and the common talk now is, that the poison last
winter, was not latent in the building, but was admini-
stered intentionally, or otherwise, in the food at the table.
This, you will remember. h s always been my theory, att
it would have been far better for the reputation of the
honsN had it been at first adopted. Tht re is one other
argutneut in favour of this presumption, which from per-
sonal reasons I have never presented, but which would, I
thins, remove any doubt ou the subject from any rational
mind."

BELFAST PROCLAIMRD.—Mr. W. S. Tracy, R M., is
appoiwc i I:o;nser, under the provisions of the PnCe Pre-
servation (leelano) Act. 1830, aid will bold a court, on
Moniai (y. stercky) to hear applications from duly quali-
fied Person, for the poss ssi, nof arms. Yesterday was the
first dal on which the preeamation came into effect;
and we are 1 d to believe thet very little of the arma-
titer t of the B,nd:crow cr Pound-street rioters -ra•
rnained in town when the morning's sun shone
Country cansirs were in great request on Tuesday, and a
good many time-honoured &d piece, as well as same bran
new Brummagtns, were carried aver the parish baundory,
'antacid, for safe keeping, into the ha ds of the ttnproseribed
dwellers in the rural districts. J,,htt Miec' ell's maxim
has lxen aclop•ed in a Pea instarcr 8, and the obnoxious
weapons have been nicely wrapped up in oiled fl nine! as
a cererneat, and buried in a grave, there to await the time
when the removal of the bin jest imposed wig give au
opportunity for their exhamation. In the meantime, the
people of Ballauracarrett are exerting themselves to escape
from the c-nscquencts of the preclarnecion. They intend
to forward a meniori..l to the Lord Lieutenant, by
a e.puttrion, praying exemption from the proclama-
ii n, and from the expenses attending the suppression
cif the riots, in which they did not p.rticipate.—Belfast

A YOUNG WOMAN DESTROYING HERSELF FROM JEA-
Ln usY.—M rg.. Matilda Kdienb.:.cher, who resided with her
husband and two sisters in the building No. 180, Court-
street, tink poison on Sunday night, about eleven o'clock,
and died from its effects on yesterday morning. Mrs.
Ka!ienbacher had been married about two years, and was
the mother of ore chili. She was ping and handsome,
and generally amiablP, but at times troubled with deep
despondency, when she often spoke of desttoyiug herself.
Recently, it seems, she had become jealous of her husb,nd,
who, she believed, bad transferred a portiou of his affections
to one of her sisters, a handsome an 1 agreoah'et girl, to
whom Mr. Kallenb.ceaer had shown much attention. Mrs.
liali‘,nbacher was often found in tears, and on brieg ques-
tioned as to the cause would declare she was wre chest
because she was not loved. A domestic "scene" had
occurred between her hushan I oil herself on Sunday
evening, and about two honrs afaer she left tee bones and
obtained landanue', i: is supposed, retired to her rotor,
and swal owed the poison. .• he thou toll her husband and
sisters what she In d dow, but they, though they rather
doubted her s atcment, as she had often talked of suicide,
sent for a physician, a bungling and stupid fellow, who
declared she was well snough, bat left a prescription, in
case, as he said, she shoal I grow worse. After his depar-
ture the woman sunk gradually until she died without I
pain, : nil without regret for the despert to deed she bad
committed.— Cineinnatti Gaz,ette, ifugute 25.
