MORY OUTRAGES.-Scarcely a post arrives
without furnishing us with additional instances of outrage
and violence arising from the same fertile source—the de-
termined dictation of a set of lawless conspirators to the.
Landlord, as to the management and disposal of his own
individual property. The thing is daily assuming a more
extensive and more alarming shape, ill spite of the activity
which, as we are told so confidently by the Castle prints,• is
exerted by the Executive 'Government for its suppression.—
The particulars we have now to announce, have been re-
ceived through a most respectable channel, and one upon
which the utmost reliance may be placed. On Sunday
night last, within two and three miles of the town
of Trim, in the county of .slcath, no less than NINE
lists were
They were farm houses, whose
tenants had been evicted for non-payment of rent, and the

of vile upon one townland, by the diabo-
landlord had since been at considerable expence in repairing
and thatching, for the reception of a new tenantry, who
were ready to move into the occupancy in the course of the
present week. These arrangements were, however, prevented,
and a valuable property totally ruined, by the lawless system
above alluded to. Near the Cross Keys, its ,the same
County, a man named Cassidy, who is considered a wealthy
farmer, on the same night had his house plUndered of every
article of value by a band of desperate ruffians, who even carried
off the bacon from his kitchen, and drove before them the pigs
from his farm-yard. Cassidy, when he thought the banditti wore
at sufficient distance, attempted., by arrother road, to make his
way, unobserved, to the Police stationed at no great distance
from his house. Ile, however, failed in his design, for the vil-
lains discovered him, and after beating him so barbarously that
but slight hopes are entertained for his life, they eventually
made off in quiet possession of his property.—(Dublin Star,
April LI.) .
In the event of a general election, the county of Kerry pro-
mises to be warmly contested. There are three Candidates, in
addition to the present Members, now canvassing that county.

Mr. Samuel White, son of the late Luke White, Esq., was
elected Representative for the County of Leitrim, at Carrick-
on-Shannon, on Monday last.—r/dem.)

Exrcuriox.—Yesterday morning the person
who was indicted, under. a variety of names, for the murder
of a woman upon the In-month, Aberdeenshire, but who has
since declared his real name to be Charles ill 'Ewan, underwent
the last sentence of the law, at the head of Libberton's Wynd.—
Of lite, this wretched man had become remarkably devout and
penitent, while his cheerfulness and fortitude seemed t 3 in-
crease as he approached to his lamentable fate. For the last
fortnight, he subsisted, from choice, entirely upon bread and
water, with cream of tartar in the latter. In the coldest days
he was often found sitting half naked in his cell, which his at-
tendants supposed was done as a penance. He made no
public acknowledgment of his guilt ; the confession to his
priest, if he made any, having perhaps satisfied the demands
of his conscience. On one occasion, he observed, that if
he did murder the woman, he must have been in a state of
drunken insensibility. He was regularly attended by four
Catholic Clergymen, and was frequently visited by his father
and mother. When conveyed to the Lock-up-house on
Tuesday night, in a coach, he said not a word, but gazed
wildly around him upon the crowd of people in the streets.
He brought with him a number of books, tied up in a napkin to
which he had recourse the moment that he was conducted to his
cell. He remained all night in conversation upon religious topics,
with two persons of his own persuasion. Early in the morning
he was waited upon by two Catholic clergymen with whom he
continued in devotion until eight o'clOck. At that hour, ac-
companied by the Clergymen, be advanced to the scaffold,
when he kneeled and prayed for a few minutes. He then
calmly took his station upon the drop ; and while one
of the clergymen was repeating the service prescribed
by all the Catholic Church, he gave the fatal signal.
For a few minutes he was much convulsed. The criminal
was a remarkably robust man ; and appeared on the scaffold
decently dressed in black. After hanging the usual time, his
body was lowered, and removed to the College for dissection.—
