STATE OF MUNSTER.
(FROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF MONDAY.)
We regret to be obliged to state That the accounts which ar.
rived from Munster to-day lead us to expect .a renewal 01
those lawless' acts which disturbed that province during last
winter. The merited vengeance which the law inflicted on the
misguided peasanty in that quarter, it was fain hoped, would
have detered them from a repitition of their atrocious system ;
but every day's experience, we are sorry to say, proves the con-
trary. • The insecurity of life and property is dreadful. The
rngrderers of the Rev. Mr. Creagh s servant, near Cork, have
not yet been apprehended.
( From tlw Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.)
Saturday night lase, between the hours of ten and twelve
o'clock, two excellent farm-houses and barns, containing a
quantity of wheat, straw, flax, and furniture, were maliciously
set on fire and consumed to ashes, on the lands of West Creaves,
in this county.
A few nights ago a farmer near Newborough, in this county,
was flogged, for not acceding to Capt. Rock's legislation.
Thursday, a decent-looking young man received a severe
flogging from a passenger on one of the mail carts : the cause
assigned was, that he presumed to prosecute at the last Assizes
the persons concerned in the murder of Buckley. Informations
of the outrage have been taken by the Mayor, and proceedings
will be followed against the perpetrator.
We have received the following from our Newcastle Corre-
spondent, dated Oct. 3 :=
" On Tuesday night last, a quantity of hay, which had been
sold by auction for rent, was set on fire and consumed, on the
lands of Ballinlihane, near Newcastle. An indication of an
outrage of a similar nature was attempted on Saturday even-
ing. As a farmer, who had purchased some stock at an auc-
tion, was conveying them home, he was attacked by a few
men, who beat him unmercifully ; but, fortunately, some friends
who were returning from the market, arrived to his assistance
in sufficient time to prevent any. further harm to the man, and
saved the cattle from being carried off."
We understand that Captain Drought is to succeed to the
command of the County Police, which are to be united with
the City. Of Limerick establishment.

About
eleven o'clock on Sunday night, the house of James
Hanly, a poor farmer on the lands of Killenleigh, about three
miles from Thurles, was forcibly entered by three men, who
'
beat him in a most inhuman Manner, and inflicted several se-
vere and dangerous wounds on his head with stones, at the
same time telling him " if he had complied with the notice
they had given him last spring, they would not have had occa-
sion to be troubled with coming to him again." There is no
doubt but their intention was to kill him, as they left him to
all appearance lifeless. We are happy, however, to learn that
some hopes may be entertained of his recovery.
A dwelling-house,lhe property of Michael Morrissy, a far-
mer, who lives on the lands of Rossualty, in the Barony of
Kilnemanagh, was maliciously set on fire and nearly consumed.
Wednesday night, a short time after Thomas Brennan and
his family (who reside on the lands of Coolkip, near the Horse
and Jockey) had retired to rest after the fatigues of the day,
their house was attacked by an armed banditti, who demanded
entrance—which demand was refused for some time, when
three gunshots were fired through the door ; on which Bren-
nan, being apprehensive from their threats that they would
burn the house, opened the door ; and on doing so, he with his
son Michael were dragged outside, placed on their knees, and
compelled to swear they would quit their farm in six days
time," and threatened, if they did not comply, that they should
meet the death of Edmund Shea.
A very daring outrage took place near Caher, on the night
of Friday, the 27th ult. at a place called Garranaclough. About
one o'clock 15 armed .men gained an entrance into the house of
the widow Bryan, for the purpose, it is thought, of murdering
her nephew, at whom one of the party made a cut with a scythe,
and shattered his arm dreadfully. His aunt hastened to his
assistance, and was treated in the same sanguinary manner by
the banditti, her arm having been broken, and otherwise mal-
. treated. Hearing.some noise, the, party decamped. The same
night they attacked the houses of four respectable farmers in
the same neighbourhood.
(FROM THE CORK ADVERTISER, OCT. 7.)
On Wednesday last, several head of cattle distrained for rent,
on the estate of Counsellor 'Walshe, in the neighbourhood of
Dungarvan, were recued, though guarded by seven or eight
policemen—to such a dangerous extent is the spirit of combi-
nation arrived in that part of the county.
On Saturday night week, a house belonging to a tenant of
Mr. Kiely, near Lismore, was pulled down by a desperate
banditti, two of whom have since been taken and committed
to gaol.
Within a fewinights two houses have been maliciously set
on fire in the neighbourhood of tallow, in the County Water-
ford, and entirely consumed. These acts, we hear, have been
committed through private malice, and were not connected with
that general system of devastation which is pursued in the
neighbouring counties.

The lovers of melody Will regret to "hear that
letters were yesterday received from Madame
CATALANI, who had been engaged by Mr.
ll6ray- HARRIS to perform thirty nights at the

Theatre in Dublin, and afterwards by Mr.
BOCHSA, for the London Concerts during Lent,
stating that she had suddenly been seized with a
violent fever and inflammation, that totally dis-
abled her from coming to England, and that she
must remain in Italy during the winter. These
letters were accompanied by a certificate, signed
by Madame CAT ALANI'S' Physician, verifying the
statement.
