UNLAWFUL SOCIETY.—We learn from a most respectable
source, that a society of an illegal nature has been established
in Smithfield, Dublin, and that during the past week m any
attempts have been made to induce the well disposed to join it.
On Monday night a party of the confederates assembled and
fired several shots ; and on Tuesday, about three o'clock in the
morning, a more numerous party collected in Smithfield with
large sticks, declaring that they would have the life of one
person who refused to be sworn of the society. We have been
requested to direct the notice of the authorities to these facts.

OUTRAGES.—In reference to certain riotous proceedings in
Smithfield, and brutal conduct in other places, reported by the
Orange papers this week, the (Dublin) Post says :—We have
ascertained that the outrages described have been grossly
exaggerated. Our Orange contemporary heads this statement
" Whiteboyism in Dublin," and endeavours, by an introductory
paragraph, to give a political colouring to the matter. We
have the best reason to know that there is not the slightest
ground for this very improper and unwarrantable insinuation.
THE TITHE CAMPAIGN. —There was a great assemblage of
peasantry yesterday near Annacotty, where they compelled a
man employed in serving Exchequer notices to fly for his life.
for had he not gallopped off in post-haste, a minute's hesita-
tion most probably would have cost him his life. The night
before the surrounding country was illuminated by fires, and
shots were fired frequently during the night, to intimidate the
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Crampton, from seeking his tithes.
A man serving subpoenas for the Rev. E. Croker, near
Croom, on Monday, was hunted by the infuriate peasantry, and
he owed his escape to the fleet horse he rode.—Liinerick
Chronicle.

CLONMEL ELECTION.—A respectable meeting of the Elec-
tors of this Borough was held on Monday evening, at the
Western School-room, at which about 300 of that brave and
independent body attended. A Committee was formed,
which drew up resolutions that were unanimously adopted,
and a requisition calling on Mr. S. Rice, son of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, to stand for the representation of the
borough.
A beautiful gold box was last Wednesday presented by his
Excellency to Tyrone Power, Esq., the great Irish comedian.
His every act proves the Lord Lieutenant a friend to every
thing Irish.
The Rev. Dr. Mahony has obtained a rule against a Tralee
paper for pointing to his Reverence as the Tyrant of Dronmore.
UNION OF REFORMERS.—Many a long day will the people
of Ireland remember with gladness and exultation, the glo-
rious events of last Monday, distinguished for the union of all
patriots preparatory to the approaching struggle for justice
and Reform.

Letters have been received from Drogheda describing the
enthusiastic reception of Mr. O'Dwyer in that town.
Mr. Lysaught -Pennefather, about whose exclusion from the
bar the Tory press so much vaunted, was yesterday admitted
as a Barrister by the Benchers of tho King's Inns, at a special
meeting of that body called to consider their hasty decision on
the first day of this Term, when they refused to call him on the
grounds of his being convicted in 1832 for his opposition to
the tithe system. Mr. Pennefather is son of the Rev. John
Pennefather, Rector of Newport, county of Tipperary, and is
a near relative of Baron Pennefather.—Thursday's Post.
