ALARMING ILLNESS OF SIR JOHN GLADSTONE,
BART.—We are informed that accounts have been received
kom Scotland which conveyed intelligence of the serious ill-
ness of Sir John Gladstone Bart., at Fasque, the venerable
baronet's seat, in Kincardineshire. We learn that a few
weeks back Sir John was seized with an attack of paralysis,
and was recovering, when on Monday last he was enabled to
take carriage exercise. On the following day (Tuesday) he
experienced another paralytic stroke more serious than the
previous attack, and it is now feared that he will be unable
to sustain the severity of the relapse. The Right Hon. W.
E. Gladstone and the other members of the respected
Baronet's family have been summoned to Fasque by the dan-
gerous indisposition of their venerated father.

BAROUS Aim:DEß—Wednesday last, the 27th ult., a party
of lawless ruffians surrounded the dwelling of an industrious
farmer named Duffy, on the lands of Drumshambo, in the
parish of Cloone. 'Duffy and family were in the act of re-
peating the rosary, according to the rites of the Roman
Catholic church, when the degraded ruffians arrived to per-
petrate their nefarious purposes, arid (as given in evidence)
I emained quiet outside till this relgions ceremony termi-

Duffy's house, one of whom carried a gun, demanded arms,
and struck him violently. A severe and unequal contest

ye;:rs of age, received such a mortal blow cf a loaded cudgel
on the side of the head, that a few hours put an end to his
life and sufferings. A verdict of wilful murder was brought
in against a certain person, aided and assisted by other per-
