night, is traversing the eountry in the direction of 14.0 t..-.-rant,
reckoned three fires in tlillerest diree'louS. The utmost alarm
cousewaeutly pe,setfs that neighbourhood.
Oa W eiliiesday night two horses belonging to farmers in the
neighbourhood of Anita Lissy, were !toughed, in revenge of
their ow:lms basing assisted in drawing the tithe corn of the
Reverend Mr. Bennett. It appears that that gentleman, having I
failed in his endeavours to compound with his parishoncre
for their tithes, was obliged to draw them, • d induced several
of the farmers to bring them to the church-yard of his parish
church ; but could not prevail upon those persons to bring them
any further. Their loads of hay and various kinds of corn were
thrown out of the carts promiscuously into the church-yard,
and sects was the prevalence of the syateni of terror, that not a
man could be got to stack or rescue the confused mass. 'With
a view to bring them to Mallow, a distance of about four miles '
from this chureli-yard, and there to have the corn and hey
properly secured, Mr. Bennett hired the horses which were
afterwards, so barbarously Maillied , and on the same night on
which this cruel set wits voiniaitted, a notice was posted con-
taining the terrific threat, thul t' if any one presumed to draw
that corn, Sc. might bring his collin with him!" The menace
hash tile desired effect. Mr. Bennett has been unable to get any
assistance in removing his property from the church) ard, nod
share it lies. The outrages in that neighbourhood were not con-
hoed to the übove-mentioned lets—they were numerous and
appalling, US we learn by a kilt. received this day from a gen-
tleman who resides intlie hcuse of the High Sherri, at Church-
town, dated on N ednesday night, which con tain. the follow-
ing alarming expressions Burning every night quite close

rutlians, who are thus setting the country in a d tole, lust e bi.en
instigated by the suggestions of persons posseseing much more
knowledge than could be expected from the wretched instru-
ments employed in these outrages. The incendiaries being
aware of the vigilance of the magistracy, the military, and the
police, have procured • clay tidied preparation, winch, being
pieced in a meek of hay or corn, sets lire to it in some time
after the preparation is deposited; those miscreants, then, by
being at a distance from the lire, escape with impunity. This
has been rendered manifest by nn oci urrence which souk place
on Tuesday night. Sir Hugh Gough, the (Ahem who COlllllllOl. I
the military in litit!ey ant and the surrounding district, having '
rcceit eil iutimition of the intention of burniug a haggard, 00
that night stationed a party of soldiers in aitilmah, hoping
thereby not only to prevent the mischief, but also to nice on
those who intended to commit it. After waiting a considerable
time, the party, to their inexpressible surprise, beheld the
haggard burst out into flames, without the appearance of any
agent to produce the conflagrition.
SEPT. 3J.-1t is with feelings of horror and indignation Oust
we announce the most daring instance of burglary and murder
which has been perpetrated in the suburbs of this city or a
length of time, mud one which has spread terror and alarm aiming
the inhabitants of a peaceable ant populous district. l'eetei-
day morning, at one o'clock, an armed banditti mitered the
house of the Rev. J. B. Creagh, Ilyde-park, in the north
suburbs of this city, and has ing made a noise which awoke the
butler' (a man of excellent character, of the name of 31.C0r-
.
noels ), he got up and went out, when they shot hint through
the nest', and he expired in a few minutes.
The house of Mr. Condon on the W ellington road was at-
tecktil on the seine night by the sante gang, before they went to
Mr. Creaell'e and that one of die party was taken by a eon o
Mr. Conduit's, but rescued by the others, and in consequence
of the alarm they made on.

W A TERIORD, SEPT. 30.—We are sorry to hear from un-
questionable authority, that outrages have been committed on
valuators of tithes in the neighbourhood of Aglis, in the a iuth
