Last night, between 7 and A o'clock, his Majesty's
malt was stopped within four mil:s of this town by
tive men : the two foremost bor.'s were itiiied, and
the guard received it shot through his arm, which
lowd also through his body, and the unfortunat:
WAS broisght in here on a car, with hole bows
of his recovery. When, in coi.s.:qocace so ate at-
( tek so well preconcerted and executed, file mach
ous in the power of this banditti, it is scarcely ne-
cessary for us to add, that its vatuah?e luggage was
.:se object apt their Lamy. Every bag, escipt only
that to Cork, vrisich e c suppose, through
accident, was carried":alejtoguther with the blonde:-
Loss and pistols' from the guard. The nibbers
tong themselves embarrassed in unharnessing the
-.elie.llooses, forced Ole coaclousin to disengage
them, and after packing their plunder in the large
wail-hag, ;;ailoped off.
k too All expressinn which dropped from one of
those ruffians afterwards, we suppose ot.e so the

:sting them with instant death, one of diens exclaim-
ing, ill you wounded me, settle you now!" k rum
the p issenger they took a bundle of cloaths, his mo-
avy, watch, and hat, of which they afterwards rt..-
turi;ed the two latter articles.
['he F armin,, Society of this county held a gene-
ral meeting at Cashel, on Satur.lay last, which was
very n,srncrously and nopectabiy attended, for the
;repose id adopting rules and regulations fur its
tore general government. The resolutions h-anied
the Comanttce on the Sd inst. were adopted with
:cry little alterations, and are such as are most likely
to add permanency to the institution.
Of two (4 them one is of a nature so strongly
•tmneeted with the general well-being of socnny,
and the other appears sojudiciously calcuiated to
heck the spirit of disorder, which has sin-cad so
alarmingly among the lower order of the peasantry,
that we suhjon them at kngth.
' « Resolved, that a plincipal (skied of this Society

trious, among the roiddling and lower classes of
