SHOCKING ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—From a Correspon-
dent at Six-mile-bridge in the county of Clare :—" I beg to in-
form you, that on Sunday night, about half-past ten, as John
Guerin was returning from Six-mile-bridge to his father's house,
three men lay under a ditch near Mount-Iver gate, and as
Guerin was passing, one of them fired, and lodged balls and
slugs in his body. The sentinel, which had been placed at
Captain D'Alton's, the Commanding_officer at Six-mile:.
bridge, hearing the shot, and seeing the flash, sent off'
the piquet and police to the spot, and on their arriving,
Guerin (who appeared to be in the pangs of death) ex-
claimed it was John Barry, late of Cratloe, who fired
the shot. Immediately the police and yeomanry proceeded
to Barry's house, and, as he was taking off his coat,
apprehended him ; also Michael Collins, in whose posses-1
•sion the gun which shot Guerin was found, with several
bags of balls, slugs, lead, powder-horns, flints, &c. Barry
and
Collins were taken into custody in something less
than an hour, by the police and Ross-Castle yeornanry--lnfor-
mations have been lodged, and the men are fully commit-
ted to Ennis gaol, by Captain D'Alton. Surgeons Thwaites,
M`Donough, and Frazer, are attending Guerin, who
is not out of danger. This unfortunate man was supposed to
be a spy. He was for some months confined in the city goal,
on a charge of swearing in people at Thomond-gate, during the
disturbances."—(Dublin Correspondent, June 14.)
CORK, JUNE 12.—0 n Monday. night, abont twelve o'clock,
Mr. Wallis, on his return from this city to his residence on the
Blackrock-road, was stopped by four footpads, two of whom
snapped pistols at him, and demanded his , money.- Mr.
Wallis requested of them not to use him ill, and he would
give them what he had. He then took out his pocket-
' book, containing two guineas and a pound note, Which
he handed to one of them, while another felt his pecltets,
saying he had silver, to which Mr. Wallis replied he had
none. Another then asked him if he had not a watch, to which
he answered yes, but hoped they would not deprive him of
it. Those with the pistols said they must have it; but one
of those unarmed said they should not take it, and desired Mr.
Wallis not to give it; but Mr. Wallis having the watch in
his hand, the other unarmed man snatched it and ran off. lie
was, however, pursued
.by the other, who, in a short time
brought it back, and 'returned it .to Mr. Wallis, desiring him
at the same time to 'tiiake: the best of his way home. On
reaching his house, Mr. :Wallis ordered his horse armed himself,
and immediately prOceeded to, the Mansion-house. Having
acquainted the Mayor with the circumstance, he, accompanied
by Mr.. Rogers, High Constable, and other Police-oflicers,
repaired to the spot, and made a diligent but unsuccessful
search for the robbers. The watch was a valuable gold
one, with gold chain and seals. • Mr. Wallis says that the pis-
tol which one of them had was a duelling one.
