IRELAND'.

"-THE INNISCARRA Cork Cerreipondent,
Who has visited; and writes from-the spot where "the-two men
fell victims to the blood-stained ,systern, says,--" Mahoney
owed 110 tithes to Mr. Beresford;: on thofeontrary, he was one
of the few who paid up his arrears.onilhat.icai-e. This ren-
ders the matter much worse, and hxs tended to sharpen the
wounded feelings of his brother,, .aud ,itz,creac the anguish of
his poor wife. Mahoney was tkirty. years of age. Ile had
been married,to a very respectable fairnor's daughter, who was
passionately fond of her husband ; she it was who forced Ma-
honey to pay his tithes, lest he might, by his refusal or resist-
ance, endanger his life. And now that he is gone, she
laments her loss with a bitterness of grief that is truly heart-
rending to witness. She hai three children, the eldest (a
boy,) four years of age : she is likewise in a far state of preg-'
nancy; Send for the priest,' said the dying man. His in-
junctions in that respect had been anticipated, yet to no pur-
pose, as the Rev. Gentleman came too late. The distance
was considerable from his house to Mahoney's.. ,After I left
the house I went to the spot where Hudson was killed. He
might have escaped could he have run moderately fast, for he
and the other bailiffs had a great start of the people, say four
or five fields. Several of the men tcld me, without any sort
of disguise or reserve, that they were on the road, and saw
Hudson murdered; but they all persisted in asserting that
Hudson, instead of running away, turned round and faced the
people before he was struck, evidently presuming that the sight
of the pistol would deter all from approaching kim. When he
'shot Mahoney, three or four men rushed on him. He was
knocked down in a cavity that was between the wall and the
road, and there immolated to the fury of the people. The
ground was completely saturated with his blood, but the place
had been scraped and cleaned since. I asked whether they
were not afraid to disclose the matter so candidly to me? and
they replied, They didn't care who knew it ; they would do
the same again.'
" The Rev. Mr. Beresford has removed much of the pre-
judice and hatred felt towards him by his Catholic parishioners,
by the feeling address he delivered yesterday before the Co-
roner and Jury. He is unaffectedly sorry for what he has
done ; and although the loss of life is ever to be deplored,
still there is much to lessen one's regret in the penitent feelings
of the Rev. Gentleman, and the example he has set, as well
as the warning he has given to his brethren of the Church
militant' in Ireland.
The Mail praises the police for murdering only one man' in
Limerick. He construes the language of the Chief Baron
into an insolent threat against Lord Morpeth, and praises) him
for that. Murder and insult are lauded in the same columns.

There has been another triumph of Clerical rapacity—
another sacrifice in vindication of the law. The fatality oc-
curred at Charleville, in the county of Limerick ; the victim,
aboy—a widow's son ! When, oh, when are those fearful re-
cords to cease ?—Dublin Register.
OuTRAGE.--The house of Mr. William Crawford, near
Templemore, is alleged to have been assaulted a few
nights ago.
" Again and again," says the Freeman, " have the land-
lords of Ireland been warned not to endanger the payment of
rents by rashly mixing it up with that of tithes. Still they
will not take the warning ; and here is one consequence of
their obstinacy."
ANTI-Tt ruE MEETING.—There has been a meeting held at
Castlepollard, on the 6th inst., to petition against " the blood-
stained impost." The locality makes this, particularly at this
moment, an interesting meeting, as the ground on which it
was held had been once drenched with the blood of the tithe
martyrs. "An Irishman's hatred to tithe is equal to his love
of justice, and greater than his fear of death."
Row.--DUBLIN CORPORATION.—Thcre has been a regular
battle between the Recorder and the late Quarter Sessions
Grand Jury. On Tuesday, the Quarter Sessions having been
opened, and the presentments of the last quarter Sated, the
Recorder made some very strong observations upon the con
duct of the out-going Grand Jury, in interfering with the pa-
tronage of the Court in the appointment of a summons-server,
contrary to the advice of his Lordship, confirmed by the opi-
nion of the highest legal authority in the country. He said
that they had violated their solemn duty in presenting for the
salary of that officer, and that he would not feel that he was
transgressing the bounds of his duty, if he inflicted a fine upon
every one of them. He would not undertake to say what fur-
ther steps would be taken on the subject. At Sheriff Wall's
dinner, one of the Corporate Grand Jurors, who was charged
with violating his solemn duty, took occasion to tell his mind
upon the subject, in terms anything but complimentary to Mr.
Shaw. It is pleasant to find the Corporate cormwants fight-
ing about their patronage on the eve of their being expelled
from office altogether.—Dublin Post.
KILKENNY.—A meeting is convened by a most respectably,
signed requisition for Monday, the 18th instant, to make ar-
rangements fora public dinner to the Hon. Colonel Butler,

M. F., and William Francis Finn, Esq., M. P., as a tribute of
respect and confidence for the honest discharge of their duty to
their constituents and their country.
LORD ROSSMORE.—This patriotic nobleman has been seri-
ously ill at his lordship's residence in the county Monaghan,
but we are happy to learn that he was much better at the date
of our last letters from Monaghan.

DISMISSAL OF MAGISTRATES.--The more we look into the
acts of the Magistrates in interfering with and attempting to
insult, in order to overawe, Mr. Gibson in the discharge of his
duty, and for the discharge of his duty—the more we contern-
plte the,avowed motives and obvious tendency of that outra-
geous ProCeeding, the more we are convinced that the only
f^ the exigency, and commensurate to the offence, is
theilisniissal of the magiltrates who were capable of such a
partisan attempt to intimidate u public functionary in- the dis-
charge d .his duty.
Thomas-%Morony, of Milltown House, in the county of
Clare,,..fisq., has been appointed- Sheriff of that county.__..
Dublin Post.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT.—On Saturday evening, about a
quarter to five o'clock, as the Rev. Mr. 'Buchanan, and
Mr. Bolton, agent of Lord Stanley, were travelling along
the. road near Ballykisteen, County Tipperary, a man leaped
f, orn behind a ditch and presented a musket at them, .de-
mandingtheir inoney at the same time. Mr. Bolton of-
feria his purse, but the fellow said " you have more money."
During the parley Mr. Buchanan rode off when the ruffian
fired after 'hirn,• but fortunately missed. Mr. Bolton, who,
by the way, is one of the best and most considerate agents
in the county, succr*ded in escaping, .1 think it wel to
apprise you of the facts of the case, lest some of the local
papers should seize upon , the occurrence, in order to mis
represent an attempt at robbery as an agrarian outrage.—
Correspondent of the Dublin. Post.
NATIpNAL BANK.—On Tuesday last, in the Court of
King's Bench, a conditional order was granted for a criminal
information against the' proprietor 'and printer of the Tralee
Mercury, for a libel alleged to. be -published on the 10th of
November last. The prosecutor was 13:• Thompson. Mr.
Thompson, in his affidavit, states that he is' a justice of the
peace for the county of Kerry, and has been a member of the
Orange society, but not actively engaged in it ; that he is not
aware that the society is treasonable or illegal ; that -he is
.agent to the estate of Lord Ventry, and has, in that capacity,
transacted business with the Provincial. Banking Company'', a
branch of which has been established in Trtilee; that some
time since another Bank was established, called the National,
of the solvency of which he • has no means .of being informed,
and that he therefore refused to take their notes ; that in so
doing, he was not influenced by party or political motives.
O'CONNELL TRIBUTE,—Armagh has acted in a manner only
worthy of itself, in taking so -.high a place among the towns
which have declared their adhesion to the principles, and gra-
titude for the services, of Mr. O'Connell.
