THE MURDERER HAYES.

The murderer Hayes is reported to be still in
the immediate vicinity of his own residence, al-
though reports have been industriously circulated
that he had gone off to America. His continued
success in baffling his pursuers is one of those
extraordinary and mysterious facts which in any
other country would be thought incredible. The
police are still unceasing in their eff.;rts to trace
him, but, with the aid of his sympathetic friends,
he continues to elude them. In addition to the large
extra reward offered by Mr. Howley, R.M., which
together with that offered by the Government,
made the whole amount nearly £7OO, Mr. Richard
Hare offers a further sum of £lOO for such further
information, to be given to the resident magistrate
at Tipperary, as will lead to Hayes's arrest. The
Hon. Col. Hare, of Devonport, the owner of the
property over which Mr. Braddell was agent, paid
a visit to it last week, and instituted inquiries, the
result of which was that Moore, the bailiff, who
was with Mr. Braddell at the time of the murder,
has been dismissed. An extraordinary circum-
stance is related by the Clonmel Chronicle, which
may serve to show the duplicity and insincerity of
the peasantry in their professions of abhorrence of
the crime. An address was recently presented to
Col. Hare by a number of tenants, who expressed
the deepest indignation at the murder. It is now
stated that some of these very tenants have joined
with their families in the daily repetition of the
" Rosary" for the escape of Hayes, and were en-
gaged in the devout operation at the very time
when the address was in course of signature.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PERSECUTION OF PROTESTANTS.
Instances of persecution of Protestants (says the
Dublin Express) by Roman Catholics are daily be-
coming more flagrant and daring. At the Kings-
town Police-court yesterday, before Mr. Allen, Mr.
John Hall, residing at Blackrock, attended to pro-
secute in three different cases of assault committed
upon his children, the only cause assigned being
that Mr. Hall had recently become a convert from
the Roman Catholic Church. The first defendant,
Mary Meagher, was charged with having attempted
to cut the throat of a little girl, daughter of Mr.
Hall, while she was playing in the street, and said
she would plant a knife in the heart of her father.
Laurence Tracy and Edward Corbett were proved
to have assaulted two other children of Mr. Hall,
one of the defendants observing that he would " cut
the Antichrist eye out of him." Mr. Allen ordered
the female defendant to find bail to keep the peace,
or to go to gaol for 14 days. The other defendants
were fined 2s. and 2s. 6d. respectively, or 48 hours'
imprisonment. In the provincial journals we find
other cases reported. One which occurred at Tra-
more, county Waterf rd, is worthy of remark. A
poor woman and her husband, who are in charge
of the church as caretakers or servants, having been.
subjected to a series of petty annoyances on ac-
count of their occupation, or because they are con-
verts from the Church of Rome. they have made
frequent applications to the magistrates for
protection, but their tormentors have not
been deterred. A few nights ago they were
brutally assaulted by two men; and what renders
the outrage the more gross is the fact that their
assailants were masons who at the time were actu-
ally engaged in building a Protestant hall. They
were sentenced to pay fines of £1 and 10s., which
were more proportioned to their offence than those
imposed by the Kingstown magistrate. We can-
not help contrasting the punishment awarded in
this case with the paltry penalties with which the
defendants in the Kingstown cases were visited.
At Tramore the Hon. Mr. Fortescue disregarded
the suggestion of a brother justice on behalf of the
defendants, and denounced their offence as one
which admitted of no palliation, and the fines which
were imposed were more commensurate with the
guilt of the parties than those awarded for the out-
rages at Blackrock. If such firm and even-handed
justice were administered in every instance there
would be fewer acts of violent intolerance.

211 E NEW LAND _REGULATIONS FOR
PICT ORIA.

There are 4,000,000 acres open for selection—a
quantity about equal to the whole that has been
already occupied, including pasture runs, since the
first settlement of the country. Every person on
landing can obtain a map for one penny showing
the exact localities of these areas. The size of the
lots into which these areas are to be divided varies
from 40 to 640 acres. An immigrant on landing
allotments, not exceeding in the whole the larger
tn,othbiesr, 640 acres—the object of limiting the areas
quantity being to prevent any injurious
monopoly of the land by large capitalists. The ap-
plicant for the land must not be less than 21 years
of age, he must be resident in the colony, and he
must select the land for his own use and benefit, and
not as agent for any other person. A woman, if
unmarried, or if judiciously divorced in accordance
with the laws in force in Victoria, may obtain an
allotment of these lands. The price at which these
lands are to be sold or bought, in fee-simple, is but
20s. per acre. The purchaser may either pay at once
the full amount, and receive forthm ith the title-
deeds of his estate, or he may pay in cash one-half
of the amount only, defraying the rest by annual
payment as rent of 2s. 6d. per acre—such rental,
however, being considered as annual instalments of
the purchase-money. This latter arrangement is a
most liberal one ; for, taking ir.to account the value
of the interest, the credit granted for half the pur-
chase-money over the eight years practically reduces
the price of the land to 16s. per acre. We confess
we can scarcely understand the policy of snch an
arrangement as this so far as the Government is con-
cerned, for very few persons will be who
enter into arrangements the effect of which Brill he
that buying for cash down involves
