HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S FETE

The long expected fete took place yesterday, and what-
ever might have been the anticipations of pleasure formed
respecting it, we should think they must have been fully
realized. The day was splendid, soft, :and warm, but by
no means oppressive, for thire was a gentle breeze, just
sufficient " to fan the cheek and raise the hair," which
tempered even the power of the Enid-4y sun, and made
the evening positively in itself a joy and delight.
The company was very numerous, and most gaily and
tastefully attired.
The fruits and viands were excellent and abundant.
The wines, especially the champagnes, were exquisite, and
to all appearance supplied from an inexhaustible reposi-
tory; and there was a display of female loveliness which
certainly never was surpassed.
The exhibition of the fruits took place at three o'clock.
The entrance to the tent was thrown open in obedience to
the sound of a gong, and in rushed the blythe and beau-
tiful, and anxious and admiring crowd. All was now fmr
a space orderly and graceful. The pines towered in the
supremacy of their pyramidal grandeur and rich golden
hue. The strawberries claimed attention, each in their
own fragrant and sp'endid heap—and the cake and jelly,
and other pretty tiifles, reared themselves to view in a
thousand pleasing and fantastic form,, amidst the rel;eving
beauties of leaves and flowers —while the less picturesque,
though not less worthy tenants of the many tables—the
portly ham, the white- breasted fowl, and the long-accked
bottles, graceful in their attenuation, and rich in their
promise of the—
" Spring dew of the spirit—the heart's rain."
wooed the universal notice with a modest confidence, which
was alluring beyond measure. All we have said was to
the eye orderly and gladsome for a time ; but scarcely had
the signal been given ere this fair array vanished, and the
tables displayed nothing but a heap of ruins. Much gra-
tification, however, was there in- exploring them.; super..
intending their restoration, and participating in their de-
struction. Aberdeen had never half so much satisfaction

in Athens, or Bankes or Belzoni in the Tombs of Egypt.
It appeared, indeed, to be quite a labour of love; for no
sooner had one party retired contented, if not weary, when
another succeeded and plied with emulative vigour the task
which their predecessors had abandoned.
We have said the wines were exquisite; let us repeat
the assertion, for this is truth, though we did not find it
at the bottom of a well, nor once remember the existence
of the ungenial element called water; " with the sky all
bright above us," and- the generous liquor sparkling be-
fore in a profusion, which might have induced a man to
fancy he was not in Chiswick, but in that glorious and
most joyous land of Cockayne, so pleasantly described by
Beranger, but which we beg miy not be mistaken for
the dominions of Leigh Hunt, the mighty monarch, who
rejoiceth in the yellow breeches, and the remembrance of
having once, ridden a great horse, with 'his head surmounted
by a cap ala Raphael. We have also said something
about the beauty of the womankind, but never could we siy
enough. If the whole world were rendered tributat y, we can-
not imagine that the congregation of its choicest samples
would afford a more enchanting show of loveliness. The
number of young and beautiful beings collected within a
space which the eye could well command, gave a touch of
interest to the promenade, and a sense of pleasure to the
beholder, which would be in vain sought elsewhere. Nor
was the charm of music wand's : bands were scattered
throughout the gardens; so that, turn your steps whither
you would, you were still sure to come within the sooth-
ing or joyous influence of sweet sounds. Of these bands,
two (Weippert's and Littoff's) were ministers to the
dance, and had collected around them, from the fall of
evening until night bad made no small advance, a happy
crowd alternately engaged in the waltz and the quadrille.
The Russian Horn Band were likewise present, and they it
was who, at ten o'clock, gave the unwelcome signal of depar-
ture, by playing "God, save the King." The performance was
encored—whether for its merit (and it really had merit, for
the music they created was such as old Homer would describe
as "sweet and strong"), or that the listeners might have
the pleasure of lingering a little longer in the garden, we
canoe! presume to determine. Amidst such an assem-
blage as that which yesterday appeared at Chiswick, it
would be idle to solicit names from the fashionable, the
noble, or the beautiful. All that London could, at this
stirring season, boast of—what is distinguished, illustrious,
or lovely, was present. In a word, the day was altogether
delightful, and cannot fail to form a pleasant passage in
the existence of all who had the good fortune to enjoy it.
We are only sorry that there is not a Horticultural Fete
every mouth in which the sun condescends to look lovingly
upon our island. The Wines and refreshments were, we
understand, supplied by Gunter.

bREADFUL SLAUGHTER AT NEW.

TOWN BARRY

- •
(Front- the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Tuesday.)
On Saturday at Newtownbarry was perpetrated one of
tile-most frightful massacres of which there is,any record
in a civilized country—perpetrated by the yeomanry
armed not six months since amidst repeated warnings of
' their bloody disprisitione. The people, men, women, and
children, were slaughtered. like sheep. Nurnberg were
shot; dead in the streets, others were driven by a mur-
derous fire into the river Slaney, which was covered with
hats and bonnets floating down the stream! No resistance
was offered, not a yeoman hurt, when a body of them,
154 in number, poured volley after volley without mercy
into the crowd, and literally heaped the streets with
dead ! No accurate estimate has yet been received of the
victims.. Some make them 20, some 30 or 40 slain, and
great numbers wounded. The Saunders," whose infor-
mation we suppose was derived from the head police-office,
states the wounded at 100. The loweit mentioned num-
ber of those shot dead on the spot is 17 !
The circumstances, as far as we have been able to col-
lect them from various quarters, and particularly from an
intelligent inhabitant of Newtownbarry, with whom we
conversed to-day, were these :—Two heifers, the propertY
of a farmer named Doyle, were seized for a tithe demand
of fifty shillings by the Rev. Mr. M•Clintock, brother of
the late Member for Louth. Tney were put up for sale
on Saturday, no bidders appeared, and they were driven
off to pound. A large force of police and yeomanry were
present. Of the litter alone there were 150, some state
them at 400—and as will appear they• were prepared to
seize any pretext. Newtownbarry is the property of Lord
Farnham, the yeomanry are all orangemen, and of
course panting for an opportunity of shedding blood.
They were commanded by Captain Graham, the agent
of Lord Farnham. They had been furnished previously
with 50 rounds of ball cartridge, and their pieces were
primed and loaded. As the cattle were driving off, a
large crowd of men, women, and children, followed,
land attempted to turn them away. 'The police and yeo-
manry interfered to prevent the rescue, the crowd op-
posed an inert resistance, and continued to drive the cattle ;
some idle boys threw a few stones, no one was struck, but
Captain King, the chief of police, foreseeing the conse-
quences, entreated the yeomanry to draw off and leave the
offenders to the punishment of the law. His humane
remonstrances were of no avail, the excuse bad been Liven,
and the yeomanry at once opened a terrible fire on the t
crowd. The young, innocent, and helpless were 'laugh-
tered ; numbers, we are informed, rushed from the merci-
less carnage into, the river, and were drowned; some were
shot in the river ! ! The town and its neighbourhood is
one scene of mourning.
We will not call upon the Government to take any steps
—to institute a special investigation or send down a Spe-
cial Commission. The man whom such a massacre can-
not move is dead to every call, and law, protection, hunia-
nity, and life are mockeries to him.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN.
•• Newtownbarry, June 19, five o'clock, evening.
Sia,---Yeerdaa most lamentable currence took place here.
Two heifers were seized for tithe, and were to be sold on that
day. The heifers were rescued. The people, men, women, and
even children, were killed. Doyle's son (Doyle was the owner
of the heifers seized) was killed on the spot. The company of
the 21st Regiment marched from Wexford here this morning at
half-past three o'clock, and a large body of Yeomanry. The
friends of the dead and wounded have removed them from hence
in general; but, as report says, there are at least 17 dead and
more wounded. An inquest will be held on some of the bodies
to-morrow—l shall give you an account of it. I write in haste.
I find from inquiry it is near, if not even more than a Castle-
pollard case. This I particularly remark, the police are not at
all blamed ithe Yeomanry are said to be the authors of the mas-
sacre ; their commander is a Magistrate. So various are the ac.
counts I can only give you reports. The claim only amounted
to fifty shillings, it is said. We have as much military array pa-
rading the streets as if an attack of an enemy was expected
hourly. All is as quiet as if nothing had occurred.__t'our's
A TRAVELLER.
The following affecting letter is from an evening paper:—.
Newtownbarry, Sunday Evening, June 19.
It is with the greatest trouble of mind I communicate
to you the details of a most sanguinary slaughter I wit-
fleeted on yesterday (Saturday), at Newtownbarry, about
three o'clock or thereabouts, but tea times the limits of
this paper would hot let you know the half of this bloody
tragedy. About a fortnight back some cattle of Paddy
Doyle's, of Tomblick, having been taken (it is said ille-
gally) for tithe, by M'Clintock, were under bail till yes-
terday, when they were :brought forward to the pound of
Newtownbarry; but at the same time Graham, agent to
Lord Farnham, and a Magistrate, collected all the orange
yeomanry and police from the surrounding towns and
country to his own stable yard—screened from the public
by a high wall, to the number of about a hundred and fifty '
men, well armed, and haying fifty rounds of ball cartridge
each. The cattle being put to sale, and all these yeomen
in battle order on the road at the pound, some incautious
little boys began to shout, and one or two of them pitched- 't
stones amongst the yeomen, which, without any further
pl ovocation, was the signal for slaughter : upon. this the
yeomen opened on the people—who, unsuspicious of mis-
chief, were at the muzzles of the guns—a most dreadful, de-
structive, and galling fire. Oh ! I tremble, and My eyesdrop
tears this moment to relate it. In a few minutes theroad snd '
fields were bestrewed with dead bodies of men, women, and
children ! I myself had been at the market, and went '
dawn to the.pound ; in a few minutes after my arrival at
the pound the fire commenced; several fell at each side of
mo on the road, and, thanks to Heaven, I escaped amidst
tremendous showers of balls, to the town, where I remained
till all was tranquil in the evening, when I came and
viewed all the dead and wounded; but, thank God, found
no one from our neighbourhood, save only one young man,
Mick Doyle, only son of Mary Doyle, of Kildalloo, being •
shot through the upper part of the breast, died in about an
hour and a half. Of the remainder of the killed and
wounded, I knew about ten or fourteen, the lest are from
the far part of the Dufry, Kilrush, and the surrounding
country; but the whole of the killed and wounded that
have been found, is about thirty or forty ; but, besides,
many have been drowned in the Slaney, and many shot
in it—as it was at the side of the river the slaughter took
place—it was bank high ; and many women and children
to avoid the bullets, rushed in and became a prey to the
watery-element. I saw in the confusion, two women who
did so, one the mother of seven children. Enough !
enough ! But every praise is due to Mr. King, chief of
police, and the men themselves, for not one of them fired
on the people, unless it might be two or three; and great
slaughter, had like-to have taken place between them and
the yeomen, who are all. this day locked up in Graham's
yard, and last night also. How it may end I cannot tell :
I saw them looking over the walls at us, as we went this
day to Newtownbarry Mass. This is all I can tell at pre-
sent say—what I have said is only a sketch, and a small
one. The road, for about fifteen perches was covered with
the blood of the slain, as if a shower of blood bad fallen.
(From the Dublin Morning Register.)
Borris, Sunday.
One of the most sanguinary and brutal butchering, that
ever gave pain to the eye,• or sadness to the 'heart, took
place at Newtownbarry yesterday. There were three little
heifers to be canted for tithe—they were set up to auc-
tion, and no bidders appearing, they remained in the
street. It was a market-day, and the town was filled with
country people, who gathered around the cattle, and some
persons having cried out they would be suffocated by the
heat, the people opened a passage, and the heifers ran
down the street. A Captain Graham, from Euniscorthy,
with all the police awl yeoman from many miles around,
immediately followed the cattle, which were brought
-back. The people, the yeomanry, and the police were
passing together by an old ruin, from -which a few
stones were thrown by some boys inside,' not iu-
tending' them for the yeomen or police, as they
might as well hit the people. Immediately the po-
lice and yeomanry were ordered to fire—and oh ! how
the heart aickens at the consequence. The people not ex-
pecting any such thing, fled in all directions--every shot
left a mother, father, or child a corpse on the street. The
people ran for protection to some plantations, and endea-
voured to hide themselves ; but here the slaughter baffles
description—every person seen was immediately a corpse !
Wherever the people were seen running away, they were
fired upon. The number of killed could not be known
last night, but an eye-witness of the indiscrmimakininagteawcar-
nage informed me this day, that he counted seventeen dead
brfloicnuat.smltyohneTinghistuht,reets, and they were bringing the dead and •
wounded every moment from the field. The report at six ,
o'clock was, that there were thirty-five found dead, or
mortally wounded. A fine young woman,
from the bloody scene, was shot dead; another Woman,
the mother of nine children, shared the same fate.
Newtownbarry, Sunday, Two o'Clock, p. m.
There have been thirty-six men, women, and children,
killed or mortally wounded. The number who have re-
ceived severe, but not dangerous wounds, is estimated at
sixty ; but many unfortunate beings, particularly women,
and children, are known to have perished in the river
Slaney. ' Only two of their bodies have yet been found.— •
A poor woman, the wife of a small farmer, who had ate
tended the market to sell some flannel, on her return home
was fired at and mortally wounded ! She died in half an
hour after. This unfortunate woman was in an ad-
vanced stage of pregnancy--and in the agonies of death,
gave birth to a still born child 11 1 It was rumoured.that

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Constitutionnel.)
(EXTRACT FROM A TRIvATE LETTER.)

VIENNA, JUNE 10.—The news received from litingar:
rs extremely interesting —Enthusiasm for the Poles is ina.
nifesteil in evcry class ; the Hungarians are not satisfies
With being idle admirers ; they seek, as much as circum.
stances will allow, to prove by acts their sympathy fo,
their former comrades in war.

The great majority of the States have assembled, and
signed a very humble, but very energetic representation to
the Emperor, their King, expressing themselves to the fol-
loveiiig effect :—" That they cannot see in the insurrection
of the Poles, a condemnable movement, or a revolution in
the odious acceptation of the word ; but that their very
conscience obliges them to participate in the generous sen-
timents of the Poles. They would consider it unjust,
cruel, and tyrannical, to forbid the Hungarians to send
arms and other assistance ; the services rendered by the
14'1", under the great Sobieski, to the capital of Austria,
1
"esieged by the barbarians, are not to be forgotten ; better
to return the debt now that the Poles are in want of a si-
milar assistance. As faithful subjects of his Majesty, it is
their duty openly to state these sentiments, as also the con-
viction that the interest of the Austrian monarchy requires
that prompt relief be afforded to the Poles, and that Aus-
tria, by being the first nation to declare itself for their in-
dependence, would most certainly acquire great glory. 'A
contrary conduct, hostilities against Poland, they do not
consider possible, for no Austrian, certainly no Hungarian,
Would hear arms against the sublime Polish nation. The
states conjure his Majesty to come to a prompt resolution
in a matter of such importance.

(From the Gazette de France, Juno 21.)
PARIS, JUNE 20.-Wc learn from Caen that the Ex-
Emperor of Brazil and his consort were to leave Cherburg
on the 18th, and would probably reach Caen before night.
That Prince is going to St. Germain-en-Laye, the palace
of which is to be his residence.
The Journal du Commerce contains the following para-
graph :--" A letter from Bologna, dated the 10th, and
another from Patina, dated the 11th of June, announce
that a carriage belonging to the Duke of Modena was at-
tacked on the Bth on the road from Modena to Finale by a
band of armed peasants, who have been assembled for
Some time in the forests of Norrantoia. All the persons
in the carriage were murdered, the peasants being con-
vinced that the Duke was of the number. We do not
know the names of the persons who were killed. The
Duke himself was in a second carriage, at a considerable
distance behind the first, found the road free and continued
h a journey to his palace Cattago, seven miles from Padua,
Where he intends to reside for some weeks."
Lord Stuart de Rothsay has not left Paris as has been
reported.

It is not true that the Russians have taken possession of
the isle of Poros. Their fleet is in the habit of calling
there, which may have caused this report.
As for the fleet of Sir Edward Codrinoon, to send it to
the Baltic, would be to declare war against Russia. The
English Cabinet, divided by intestine discussions, and
Wholly occupied with the affair of its Reform, will not
Wok of making war on Russia. As for Poland, motives
of religion, humanity, and elevated policy, lead all well-
dl4lsosed minds to desire that that country may become
Independent; but it will not owe its independence to the
Cabinet of Lord Grey or to that of M. Casimir Perier.
The Poles trust only to God and their swords. Poland is
the Vendee of Europe.
The report of the ex• Queen Hortensia being in Fiance
is noW contradicted. It is now said that she desired to
travel post through a small part of the French territory, to
go to Switzerland, but could not obtain leave.
The King arrived on the 18th at Strasburg, where he
Was received with universal acclamations. In the evening
there was a concert of 500 French and German musicians,
and the whole city was spontaneously illuminated.
The King has received the Princes of Bades. The
Xing of Wurtamburg was expected.—Moniteur.

-BRUSSELS PAPERS.
BRUSSELS, JuNr. 18.—The Emancipation seems to
insinuate that Mr. White represents at Brussels England,
or the conference at London. We are requested to de-
clare, that Mr. White has no official character of any
tied, and he continues to reside in Belgium as a private
individual.
We have just seen a letter dated from London, written
to one of our friends, by a Frenchman, his relative. We
notice the following passage :—" The political horizon of
Europe seems to he clearing up. The ConferenCe, at first
so
haughty, and afterwards at times so menacing, never-
theless desires peace at any rate. Let your National Con-
g",l3 continue to join firmness with prudence, and it will
obtain, or rather no further objections will be made to its
t °,•"esBing Luxemburg, Lemburg, and even the left bank
of the Scheldt, and Belgium will take its rank among na-
„."

The Allge»zeine Handels-Blad says, "It is reported
that his Royal Highness Prince Frederick has just received
from hie Majesty the King communications of the highest
importance ; there are endless conjectures on the subject."
Several Paris Journals have published a verbal note
Which M. Th. Michiels, who is styled by those journals
44voy from the Regent of Belgium at Frankfort, is stated
1° have delivered to the German Diet. 31. Michiels
:'aving been questioned by the Government on this sub-
Ject, positively denied having presented any verbal note to
Diet. Neither is M. Michiels the Envoy of the
'Nent, but merely the agent of the Minister of Foreign
stairs, with the title of Charge d'Affaires. M. Michiels
ty recalled to 13rt-ssels, to give an exact account to the
‘-iirovernment of the acts of his mission at Franlifoit.
