IMPORTANT TO ORANORMEN.—It was intended, wel
learn from good authority, that our worthy XXX Sheriff
Thorpe, hail there been a "House" to-day, should propose
a vote of thanks to Lord Liverpool for his excellent and
Constitutional speech against Orange processions! What
next ?—mblin Parr.
STATE er TUE COENTRY.—The provincial papers con-
tain more than the ordinary catalogue of outrages. Lime-
rick appears to be almost as disturbed as at any former
period. But, we must remark at the same time, there is a
manifest tendency to exaggerate, in some of the provincial
journals, particularly the Limerick Chronicle and the Cork
Adcrrliser. We refer to a paragraph in the Ennis paper, in'
corroboration. In Tipperary the system appears to be in
active progress. Outrages have occurred in three or four
baronies ; at Thurles, Sleevardagh, Clanwilliam, and Iker-
rin ; and most inflammatory notices have issued from the
mint of Captain Rock, threatening to inflict the fate of Mr.
Marum on certain obnoxious individuals, who had taken
farms, or accrpted of agencies, on the eviction or dismissal
of former occupants or agents. Two or three houses have
been hum in different places in this county ; and at one
place Mr. Ryan's cow-house, containing eight milch cows,
has, with the miserable beasts, been consumed. But we
are sick of these details.—Duklin F:rening Taal.

the early hour of six o'clock yes-
: terday morning the Sheriffs of the city of Cork waited on
' Mr. Sergeant Lefroy, to escort him out of their bailiwick.
Previous to their departure they presented him (as is cus-
tomary, when there has not been a capital conviction, or,
as it is otherwise termed, when it has proved a maiden
Assizes), with a pair of gloves, handsomely fringed, which
the Learned Sergeant said lie accepted with more than
naryor-
d pleasure, arising from the grounds on which they

A Ittsrraar t: 'IAEA CT E R.—On Monday night last,
Mr. Ponsonhy, Chief Constable, with a party of his
police, succeeded in apprehending that notorious ruffian,
Lynch, nicknamed Cahy, who some time since desperately
wounded one of the police with a large knife, upon his
apprehending him at Carrigbeg. When taken be had in
his possession the carbine of which lie then robbed the
policeman, which was primed and loaded, and in his
pooket a quantity of cartridgrs trade up, ready for use.
' Behind where he was sitting were also a case of pistols,
primed and loaded. In the house, a fellow named Paddy
ILynch, of whom the police had got a description, as being
a companion of Cahy's, was also apprehended; in his
pocket was a quantity of gunpowder and some very good'
• flints. Upon searching them more closely, the police dui-
! covered two handkerchiefs and some money, which led to
la suspicion that a robbery had been recently committed by
them. Upon inquiry on Tuesday morning, it was ascer-
tained that a young woman, in the service of the Marquis
of Waterford, hail been robbed on Monday afternoon, o:.
her way to Curraghinore. Upon being sent for, she im-
mediately identified both the prisoners, from among several
people, as the two who robbed her, Cahy holding the car-
bine, and the other (Paddy Lynch) the two pistols over
her. They were yesterday conveyed to our county gaol,
under a strong escort of Mr. Ponsonby's police. 'the ap-
prehension of these two desperate characters is most fortu-
nate for the country, and reflects great credit on Mr. Pon-
sonby, whose activity and decision upon the occasion were
highly praiseworthy.-11"otri:hrd Chronicle.
We understand that a small thatched house at TullaH
minnow, about two miles from the village of Duncormack,
county Wexford, was accidentally burned on Tuesday's
night, when a Miss Hammond, who resided in it alone,
perished in the Haines.—lbid.
DEFEAT OF THE (.:011PORATION.-With feelings of the
truest satisfaction we r.onounce to our fellow-citizens that
the Corporation Coal Bill was thrown out by the House of
Commons on Tuesday night, on a division of 47 to 34.—
The Corporation Toll Bill is withdrawn ; and the new
Valuation Bill is referred to the Committee of Local Tax-
ation.—Several most respectable citizens called at our office
lest night, to announce their intention of illuminating their
lions: s to-morrow (Saturtlav) evening, in celebration of
this victory, so important to them, and which they arc wil-
ling to consider as the forerunner of greater benefits, not,
only to the City of Dublin, but to the country at large.-1
