GURTROE MASSACRE.— Archdeacon Ryder, after the lapse
of a year, has revived this sanguinary transaction. After de-
molishin all the allegations of his Reverence, the Cork Re-
porteticoncludes thus :—" We feel no disposition whatever to
recur to the circumstances of this massacre. It is forced on
us by the impudent attempt of the Archdeacon to impose oft
the English people a falsification of material facts, after a
lapse of time when it was supposed that the truth might have
escaped the public recollection. The efforts of his silly and
stupid backers on the local Orange Press, to prop ,up and
bolster statements which they had in other capacities, the best
means of kn'tfuring to ba Wholly false, can be regarded only with
indignant contempt.
REBELLION 1— In allusion to certain proceedings in the
Court of Exchequer on Thursday last, (the case of the Vene-
rable Edward Dalrymple Ilaskett Knox V. John Gavin and
others,) the Dublin Post asks if any person after this manifes-
tation can doubt the objects of the faction. It seems to LI!
that an attempt is td be made to fight the political battle o
the Conservatives in the Court of Exchequer. It is so an-
nounced—it is so stated. For this purpose, an obsolete prac-
tice, abolished in the Court of Chancery, has been resorted to,
the writ of rebellion--and under the sanction of this most ab-
surd practice, they seek to set aside Acts of Parliament.
SYMPTOMS OF A REBELLION, &C., &C.—Under this alarming
heading a paragraph appeared in a Carlow paper of last
Saturday, for the purpose, no doubt, of general quotation in
the Dublin and London Orange Journals, and as a flimsy ex-
cuse for the atrocities committed on the unfortunate peasantry,
by the Tory Landlords of that County. The paragraph rum
thus
" ILLEGAL MEETING OF TIIE PEASANTRY._On Friday last,
about 1,000 men assembled on the lands of Spaw Hill, county
Carlow, all armed with bludgeons, &c. They were all well
organized, and appeared to go through the various processes
of drilling, marching and countermarching, until about three
o'clock, when the main body dispersed. In the evening about
100 of the party marched rank and file through the village of
Killedmond, which is inhabited by a few Protestants, the
tenants of Lord Downes, and after hooting and groaning op-
posite each door, the ruffians proceeded to the house of the
Protestant clergyman, and saluted him in a similar manner."
The facts are simply these : the peasantry of Spaw
Hill, Myvally, and another parish, met by appointment to hurl,
according to their constant habit at this period of the year.
When both parties came to the ground, it was found that one
party was more numerous than the other, and the match was
declined, but arrangements were made to meet for this pur-
pose another day. The people quietly dispersed, nor did they
say or do any thing that could for a moment give their meet-
ing the character of a political one.—Dublin Post.
TIIE LODGER POINT.—The Whig states, on information
which is stated to be authoritative, that at the commencement
of the present term the question respecting the Lodger point
was brought before the twelve Judges, on the motion of Judge
Johnston, who had been the only dissentient from the previous
decision, and after maturely considering the question. the final
decision of their Lordships was, that the tenant of a house
worth ten pounds in terms of the Reform Act, is entitled to
be registered as a voter, whether the portion of his holm ac-
tually occupied by himself (the rest being let to lodgers), be
worth 101, or whether it be not worth that sum. This, of
course, settles the point so long disputed.
During the storm on Friday night, a correspondent men-
tions that a house was blown down in the townland of Bally-
macarainey, near Rathfriland, in which was an old man named
Robert Linton, aged about 80 years. He was completely bu-
ried in the rubbish, under which he remained for several hours,
and was at last rescued from his perilous situation chiefly
by the exertions of two blacksmiths, who laboured inces-
santly until he was extricated. When discovered, the poor
man was in a state 'of almost complete exhaustion.—Veyast
Nenis.

MUNICIPAL REFr,RM.—WC are glad to learn that a requi-
sition is in progress, and has already been very extensively
signed, for a meeting of the citizens of Dublin, to petition for
Irish Municipal Reform.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—John Dunlea, on Wednesday, being
on his way home, after attending a funeral, went into Edmund
Graddy's public-house at Bloomfield-cross, in company with a
few friends, on Sunday evening, to take some refreshment, and
having delayed there only a short time, he went out to get his
horse to return home, when he was brutally assailed with sticks
and stones by a party with whom be bad no previous quarrel,
from the effects of which ho became insensible, and died in two
days after. The deceased was a very peaceable inoffensive
man, and has left a wife and large family to deplore his un-
timely end. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder
against James Duggan, of Millvale," who was instantly com-
mitted to the county gaol by the Coroner, and against others
not yet in custody.
LORD AUDLEY IS WANTED.—Judge Moore said that he was
likely to be caught during the delivery of the King's speech.
The Northern Whig has devoted some very able papers to
an exposure of the real character of the recent Belfast Society
Dinner. It was one of the most transcendently shabby (as it
appears to have been about the most fraudulent) concerns ever
got up in the North of Ireland.
O'CoNrcMti Taturrß.—The plundering faction declaim
themselves he a -se as ravens about the national testimonial being
wrung from the poor. Well, read its history. One hundred
pounds, "Anonymous !" Groat " intimidation" in that. One
hundred pounds from an English Protestant Rector; what a
bigotted persecutor of Protestants this O'Connell must be 1
Three English remittances from Protestant England. Great
chance of imposing on the English people—eh ! Murty ? Ten
times the amount of tribute from Belfast, of four years ago,
a third of it contributed by Protestants ! Did the " priests"
do that ? And last, but not least, twenty-five pounds from
Otway Cave, the son-in-law of Burdett
A MAN SHOT.—TWO men named Greene, father anti son,
on their return home on Monday night, were met near Kil-
lenaule by two persons, who dcmanded if their name was
Greene ? The old man said it was, that ho would never deny
it—when one of his interrogators immediately lifted a large
stick to strike old Greene, but before the blow descended he
was shot dead by the son. The deceased has been since re-
cognized as a man named Dalton, belonging to that neigh.
bourhood. The Greenes, we understand, were concerned in
the prosecution of a grievous assault at the last Assizes, which,
it is rumoured, was the cause of this fatal affair—Tipperard
