MR. NI MMO'S REPORT.
During the seaman 1820, the rough mule of the pier at
Dunmore his been carried out nearly to the calculi pimp°,
ed. The storms of December have brought it to the slope
and firmness proper for receiving the ',sweater's on the sea
front. The quarrying fur this pavement will, diirioc next
reason, furnish all the additional rubble stone requisite
complete the extent totiinsted fur.
1 would nut recommend any further extension of this mn:e
until she benefit of the harbour be more fully eirperieuce I
and 1 hate reason to lir titre the estimate formerly frarni%bed,
will curer all the expense of completing the pier in its two.
paired dimensions, viz 42,4001.
Of that estimate, two crania of 12,000/. each have Seen
already voted by Parliament, leaving a balance of the esti-
mate of 18,500/.

Ten thousand pounds are required to nay on the works
during next season. These week' will chiefly be, the eom-
;lacono of the pavement and parapet on the sea side, soot
the wharf wall tio the inside of the mule; fur which last
work it has become necessary to procure proper stone (ei-
pecially for the diving hell part), at some whit distance up
the haven, the quarry in the ueighbourhood of the pt. r
being nearly exhausted.
Fur further lafornsation as to the present state of she
harbour, 1 big leave to refer to the Report of Mr. Telfued,
who has lately visited the works, at She reqnest of the Gene.
n 1 Post-office, and which Report, I understand, has bat •
transmitted to Government.

(Carrick's Post.),
The following narrative of another barbarous
outrage and murder, appeared in ate evening con-
temporary of Tuesday:—
" A person of the name of Thomas Kavanagh
was barbarously murdered about two o'clock in the
mooning of the 29th ult. upon the lands of Clon-
Imo, within 'four miles of the 10W11 of Templemore,
en the barony of Ikerin, in the county of Tippe-
rary, tender eirctunstanees of the most aggravated
atrocity. The bellowing are the particulars of this
finned outrage :—The lands of Clonboo, part of
the ?stole of the Rarl of Carrick, containing about
two hundred and thirty-three acres, were lately
*relented, as a grazing farm, by Throphilus Bin-nett
and James Bennett, Esqrs. who held them from his
Lordship, for the life of a Mrs. Skier, oilierwise
Lidevtl), who died in the ninon' of August last.
Cronyne, Esq. of 'rhomastowee, in the county
of Kilkenny, the land agent of Lord Carrick,
*tonight it for his Lordship'. interest to make three
divisions of' this bum, which he let to new tenants;
one of which divisions, containing 56 acres, was
leased to J. Kaye. and Daniel Kavanagh, the son-in•
law of Kaye., both of whom resided for many years
use the lands. The former was herdsman to the late
tenants. Since the letting of those lands several
threatening notices were froaa time to lime served
on the new lenauts, and posted up at night, cote-
tomilig and requiting them to give up the lands ;
the ditches and fences on different parts of the farm
were levelled by night; and the persons who at.
tempted to plough fur the new tenants were hunted
J4Wly iii the day time by armed oleo. Kayes. and
son-ea-law, Kavanagh, two or three days lair.
1.1..11, it) the 29th ult. commenced erecting the mills
of a house oil the division of the farm taken ley
them. the houses wherries they resided being 011
woollier division of the farm lately set to Theultakl
Cutler, a new truant ; and for Butler's accommo-
dation, Kasen removed his family into the house of
ht; soioni-law, Dowel Kavanagh, w'nh an intention
of residing there until the new house should be
finished. On the might of the 48th, or rather about
two ti'elo:sk in the suornilig of the 29th ult. both
families were iu bed in the house of Kavanagh,
when an muted pasty, about twelve in number,
attacked the house Yu a must furious manner, and
in an ihstoot shattered the door to pieces, firing
shone through It, and honeying it with large stones.
Toe door being clashed in, the piney broke into the

rushed at a bed iu the kitchen, lit which Thames

Kavanagh, a tailor, 70 years of 'groin(' who was the
father of Daniel Kuvanagh, and one Martin Bergin,
a-journeyman tailor, were sleeping, and the ruffian,
seizing upon Bergin, dragged him towards the cabin
door, where he cried out for mercy, declaring that he
had nothing to do with the land, and that be would
never sleep in the house again; whereupon he was
spared, and the party immediately laid hold on
Thomas Kavanagh, the old man, and dragged
him outside the door, striking him with a spade.
handle, guns, and blunderbuss, on the head, they
in • moment put an end to his existence, after
having inflicted • number of dreadful wounds oo
his head. Kayes, the tenant, concealed himself
under a bed, and escaped observation in the dark,
the party not being prepared with lights. Young
Kavanagh, the son-in-law of Kaye', succeeded in
keeping fast the room door, wherein he and his
wife, with an infant child about five weeks old,
and four other children lay ; some of the faalily,
who slept in the kitchen, crept up the chimney,
and others lay fiat on the floor, by which means
they escaped the shots that were fired its every
direction through the cabin. There were twelve
persons, young and old, sleeping in Kavenagli's
cabin on this night ; and the party who entered
broke every atom of furniture therein to pieces,
and then left notices, ordering the tenants under
dreadful threats to quit the farm they bud lately
taken. Having finished the work of destruc-
tion, they went to different houses and cabin a
near Kavanagh's, rapping at the doors, cautioning
the inhabitants against having to do with the lands
of Clinilloo, and informed them they had " settled
Kates," by which, it is supposed, they mistook
Kavanagh, the tailor, fir Kayes the new tenant,
who, a. has been sta'erf, had concealed himself un-
der a bed. Information of this outrage having
been communicated to Mr. Michael Coetnick, of
Thurlev, Coroner, he proceeded this morwinic to the
scene of outiage, which is ten miles from Thurles,
accompanied by a Jury of the most respectable in-
habitants of the town, and a party of Captain Wil-
son's horse police, which hue promptly ordered to
intend the Coroner, though the murder was com-
mitted out of the Baronies over which he has been
appointed Chief Magistrate. A minute iovestiga-
tloll 11110 all the circumstances took place hefore
the Coroner and Jury this day, and the incisiert
Is adjourned for a week. The unprotected state of
this wretched family, in • lonely cabin, without •
door, is easily conceived, particularly when another
visit of the tame nature is expected. It is hoped,
that by the exeetions of the local Magistrates, the
authors of this outrage will be brought to punish-
ment.
