SHOCKING MURDER IN CLARO,
The Limerick Chronicle contains the folluning
account of a dreadful murder, communicated bj a
Alagibtrate of the county of Clare :
" SCARIFF, SATURDAY, OCT. :20.--Another of those
horrible murders, which disgrace our unfortunate
country, has just been committed on the public high
road leading from Killaloe and Swift' to Tulle and
Ennis, in this county. The unfortunate victim was
Michael Walsh, steward and caretaker to Charles G.
O'Callaghan, Esq., of Ballynahinch. This respect-
able man, v, hen on his way to Ennis this morning,
at the hour of eight o'clock, on the public high read,
near Fort Ann, was fired at from behind a wall, and
shot dead; one ball entered his mouth, and took with
it the roof off his skull ; the second also entered his
head; both shots were heard distinctly by persons
immediately near, but no clue bas been obtained of
the perpetrators."
ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF MEATH.
We regret to state that the venerable Earl of
Meath, in consequence of serious illness, has been ad-
vised by his medical attendants to winter in Italy.
He has appointed his son, Lord Brabspron, to act as
vice-lieutenant of the county of Dublin, and that
nobleman will remain in this country- to look after
the wants of the poor on his father's estates.
ARRIVAL OF THE MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS
OF KILDARE FROM ENGLAND.—On Saturday morn-
ing the Marquis of Kildare, accompanied by his
bride. arrived- in Kingstown by the Iron Duke
steamer. The noble pair, on arriving in town, pro-
ceeded to the family town residence, Lower Do-
minick-street, and after breakfast set off at once for
Carton in a splendid new chariot and four. The en-
tire of the tenantry on the estate had been invited
to epic which was given yesterday on the grounds
of Carton. Nothing can exceed the respect and re-
gard which appears to pervade all classes in the
neighbourhood ibr the kind and beneficent young no-
bleman, who has now come with his bride to live at
home and amongst the people.—Freeman's Journal.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association
was held this day in the Conciliation Hall; Captain
Green, M.P., county Kilkenny, presided.
Mr. J. O'Connell handed in 101. from Clonmel.
On the motion of Mr. J. O'CONNELL, the name of
Mr. Charles O'Connell, solicitor (who supported Mr.
Lucius O'Brien at the last Clare election)
.was struck
off the books of the association.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL announced that the leading
gentlemen of the two constituencies (Limerick and
Kilkenny), by whom he (Mr. J. O'Connell) was
elected to sit in Parliament, had determined to meet
at Clonmel and decide upon the place for which he
was to sit, and thus save him from the embarrassment
of making the selection. After some further observ-
ations, Mr. O'Connell said, in the course of the last
week the first of the returns which bad been called
for by the Catholic bishops of Connaught at the meet-
ing held in Loughrea was made. It was a return
from the diocese of Elphin, and he would read from
it the number of families who are in utter destitution
and perishing from the want of relief in that dio-
cese : Families.

To remedy this destitution and save the lives of
this enormous number of persons would be sufficient
to occupy Parliament not only in this extraordinary
session, but during the entire session. He next re-
ferred to the affairs of Switzerland, and regretted to
say that Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston
were most anti-Catholic in their sentiments. England
was most shamefully allowing the infidel states in
Switzerland to oppress the Catholics and assail them,
because the Catholics wished to bare their education
conducted by the Jesuits. Although the Radicals
had shown by their conduct even in their own can-
tons that they were anarchists and upsetters of order,
still they were permitted to go on in consequence of
the anti-Catholic policy that prevailed in the councils
of Britain. It was a question of interest that such
bigotry should be cried out against by the represen-
tatives of the people.
After some further proceedings the meeting termi-
nated.

SALE OF HUGHES'S MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT.
—The sale of this large collection, which has excited
such strong expectation among the numerous class
whose business lies in that way, was commenced yester-
day at Vauxhall-gardens, which presented a singular
appearance, from the motley and miscellaneous nature
of the articles exhibited. All round the large area in
the centre were placed the carriages, &c., and in the
rotunda were some of the " Mammoth" tribe—the
elephants and camels. The walls of the building and
stage were covered with the wardrobe and properties, of
every variety of age and country, and sufficient in num-
ber to set up several dozens of dramatic authors is
materials for melodrama. About two hundred lots
of the latter description were sold yesterday, but ex-
cited none of the attention and competition which
had been expected—a result which would appear to
betoken either the coming decline of the cut-and-
thrust school of drama, or the completion of the
managerial arrangements of the approacdhing sees; jean.

completed today, and to-morrow that of the stud will
take place, when it is expected that a greater spirit of
competition will be manifested. The carriages will be
brought to the hammer on the following days. The
most remarkable specimen in this department is one
modelled after " the rath, or imperial state carriage of
the Emperor of Burmab," which was captured by the
British army during the operations against the Burmese
empire. It is something very wonderful in effect,
being of course of a " mammoth" size, and combining
no end of gilding and fantastic devices. The catalogue
says that it " would be an acquisition to any person
desiring publicity and display," so it will, doubtless, be
purchased by some enterprising advertiser. The sun
of one shilling is charged for admission to the sale--
a circumstance which may account for the thin attend-
ance.
ALARMING ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL--

the proving of guns, which usually takes place at this

appears, now carrying on experiments to test the rela-
tive strength of the ordnance supplied h the various
foundries, amongst which are the Low Moor and Carron
iron-works, and a gun invented by a Mr. Philipps,
com-
posed of toughened iron, and said to be equal in strength
to the light pieces cast from gun metal. About twelve
o'clock yesterday, as the convicts and guards had assem-
bled for dinner on board the Justicia
of these guns burst, and sent the convict hulk, one
fragments into the river
over the convict-ship, between the Justicia and the Unite
hospital ship. A cobetween the two ships,n

scarcely quitted the ship a moment when another gun
burst, and heavy fragments fell on the deck of the Jus-
ticia, between the spot where two men were standing:
It struck the corner of the hatchway through which the
prisoners descend into the cabins, buried itself in the
planks of the deck, and split the large beam that sup-
ports it. But for this break it must have gone through
the deck. Orders have been issued for more than a
month to remove the Justicia from her present position,
and probably when a few lives have been sacrificed the
authorities will bestir themselves to carry the order into
effect.
