ASSAULT ON A POLICE CON-
STABLE AT DAGENHAM.
DAGENHAM, SATURDAY.--11113 village and the
surrounding neighbourhood have, during the last few
days, again been the scene of outrages of the gravest
description, and unfortunately a poor policeman of the
K division has become the victim of the lawless gang
frequenting this part of the county of Essex. The
spot selected for these outrages is within a few yards
of the field where the policeman Clark was 30 brutally
murdered in June, 1846, and about the most desolate
and secluded part of the county.
It appears that on Saturday, the 6th instant, a man
named George Edwards, a labourer, living at Dagen-
ham, was brought before the Ilford Bench of Magis-
trates, charged by Police-constable Brown with steal-
ing a glass belonging to Mr.. Green, the landlord of
the White Hart, at Dagenham. He took him into
custody, but Mr. Green declining to come forward
and prosecute, the magistrates discharged him. On
leaving Ilford the prisoner threatened to serve Brown
out the first time he saw him. Brown took no notice
of the threat, and at nine o'clock the same night went
on duty, his beat being along the green lanes round
the village of Dagenham. About l 1 o'clock at night,
he went into the Robin Hood beer-shop, in Wood-
lane, which is only a short distance from the spot
where Clarke was murdered, to assist the landlord in
clearing the house, and among the men present was
George Edwards. Having got the men out of the
house, Brown was proceeding on his beat, when he
was felled to the ground, as it is supposed, with a blow
from a stick. He got up again, when he was again
knocked down by a violent blow on the nose, and fell
into a ditch. He managed to scramble out, and drew
his staff calling out for assistance, but was a third
time knocked to the ground, and whilst lying down
was most brutally kicked and knocked about. His
cries for help attracted the notice of the landlord of
the Robin Hood, who on going out found the poor
fellow lying by the side of a ditch, weltering in blood.
On being carried into the house he was found to be
perfectly insensible, his face was covered with blood
and scarcely a feature discernable. On the blood
being washed away his nose was found to be com-
pletely smashed, and his head, face, and chest covered
with contusions. Information of the outrage was
forwarded to the station at Ilford, and Inspector
Proctor, with Mr. Allison, surgeon, immediately pro •
ceeded to Dagenham. For three or four days after
the poor fellow remained in a totally unconscious state,
but at length was able to inform Acting-Sergeant
Crawford that Edwards was the man who had so cru-
elly assaulted him. On the 11th Edwards was appre-
hended, and on the following day was taken before
Octavius Masheter, Esq., one of the magistrates for the
county of Essex.
On Saturday the prisoner was brought up before
William Cotton, Esq, and a full bench of magistrates,
at Ilford. On being placed at the bar,
The Chairman said the magistrates of course would
allow another remand.
The prisoner, a thick set fellow, habited in a smock
frock, wished to know if the magistrates would not
take bail.
The Chairman.—Most decidedly not.
Mr. Masheter said he understood that if ever the
poor fellow recovered he would from the nature of
the injuries he had received, be totally disabled from
duty as a police constable any more.

A party of gentlemen, amongst whom was Mr.
M‘Gregor, the chairman of the South-Eastern Railway,
started from Paris on Saturday, and reached London in
twelve hours and fifty minutes. The journey from
Paris to Boulogne occupied eight hours and fifty
minutes ; from Boulogne to Folkestone, one hour and
fifty-five minutes ; and from Folkestone to London, two
hours and five minutes. There was no effort in accom-
plishing this ; the train from Paris to Amiens was a
slow train, and stopped at every station.

TWO DREADFUL MURDERS IN THE
COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
DUBLIN, Nov. 19.—An extra edition of the Lime-
' rick Chronicle, received this day, contains the follow-
ing account of two most atrocious murders perpetrated
near that city yesterday :
" LIMERICK CHRONICLE OFFICE, THURSDAY.—At
eight o'clock this morning two dreadful murders were
committed at Rathurd Castle, within two miles of this
city. The victims of assassination were Mr. Ralph
Hill, sub •agent to David Fitzgerald, Esq., George's-
street, and a land bailiff, named Madden. It appears
that Mr. Hill, in the discharge of his duty,
hid made
a distress yesterday on corn belonging to John Quain,
tenant to Benjamin Frend, Esq., who was indebted
to his landlord to a large amount. After the
seizure keepers were placed on the premises, and
Mr. Hill returned to Limerick. This morning,
accompanied by Thomas Flannery, he again visited
Quain's house, for the purpose of removing
the corn from the haggards, where they were
met by Quain's son, with whom Mr. Hill was talking,
when four shots were fired at him and his bailiffs,
from behind the haggard, melancholy to relate, with
fatal effect. Mr. Hill was killed on the spot, and the
bailiff (Madden) also fell a victim to assassination.
One of the keepers, James M‘Mahon was wounded
on the head, the skull having been laid' bare by slugs,
and Flannery received the contents of a gunshot in
the back of the hand. The atrocious outrage has
created the greatest sensation in this city, where Mr.
Hill, an intelligent inoffensive man, of active habits,
and formerly a sergeant in the city militia, was well
known and respected. There will be an inquest this
day on the bodies. The carmen who went out to
bring in the corn seized fled in all directions when
the shots were fired. Two men have been arrested,
one of whom is identified as a principal in the
murder."

STATE OF TIPPERART—MEASURES OF
GOVERNMENT.
The Evening Mail contains the following address
from the Earl of Donoughmore, Lieutenant of Tip-
perary :
"To the Magistrates of the North Riding of the
county of Tipperary.
" Palmerstone-house, Nov. 18, 1847.
" Gentlemen,—Partaking as I do, in common with
yourselves, in the sentiments of respect and esteem
for Mr. R. Bayly, which all who know his character
and witnessed his usefulness must entertain, I can find
no words to express the horror which I felt when the
appalling news reached me of the murderous assault
by which his valuable life has been endangered. This
is but one of the numerous murderous outrages by
which our unhappy country has been disgraced, and
which indicates a system of atrocity which, as long
as it is suffered to prevail, must leave every man's
life at the mercy of cowardly and miscreant assassins.
As Lieutenant of the county, I have felt it my duty
to accompany a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant,
by whom a statement was laid before his Excel-
lency, which clearly showed the utter impossibility
of meeting the secret combinations with which
we have to contend by the ordinary operations
of the law. Lord Clarendon fully felt the force of
our representations, and I do believe has seen the
necessity for prompt and energetic measures. I can
only say, at present, that I firmly rely on his wis-
dom and determination to do whatever can be done
to restore the reign of law and order. 'With this
conviction on my. mind, I do not consider it expe-
dient at present to call a meeting of the magistrates of
the North Riding ; in my opinion, they could add no
new facts to those stated by the deputation ; and
such a meeting would but expose the individuals who
would come forward to express their abhorrence of
those deeds of blood to the violence of the wretches
by whom they have been contrived and perpetrated,
and only add other victims to the number of those by
whose loss so many families have been deprived of
their best protectors. Parliament is now about to
meet, and I know that our case is under the conside-
ration of the authorities : I trust, therefore, that you
will agree with me, that any public demonstration on
our part should be deferred until we learn their de-
termination respecting the frightful state of our
country.
" I am, gentlemen, your most obedient, humble
servant,

" DONOUGHMORE, Lieutenant."
ALARMING- STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
DUBLIN Nov. 20.—A letter of yesterday an-
nounced the mnrders of a land-agent and bailiff in the
county of Limerick.- This day- Intelligence has been
received of several more murders ; one in the county
of Tipperary, the victim being an agent of the Mar-
quis of Ormonde, who was shot yesterday at Kilcash,
two in the northern county of Tyrone, one in Mayo,
and another in Limerick.
Even in the metropolis this wholesale system of
assassination has produced a feeling of consternation.
DREADFUL MURDER IN TIPPERARY.—From a
private letter, received in town this day, we have the
afflicting intelligence that the sub-gent of the Mar-
quis of Ormonde was murdered yesterday, at Kil-
cash, on the property of the Noble Marquis, within
about six miles of Clonmel, in the county of Tip-
perary. Evening Post.
A report was received in town last evening that a
gentleman named Toole was shot near Limerick yes-
terday.—Saunders's News Letter.
THE LATE ATTACK ON MR. BAYLY.—Thursday,
a meeting of the ex officio guardians of the Nenagh
union, over which Mr. Bayly so well presided for the
last five or six years, was held at Brundly's Hotel,
Nenagh, to take into consideration the atrocious
attack on their chairman, and to adopt such measures
as, after due deliberation, they should agree on. The
press was excluded as well as the public; but we be-
lieve that unanimous application was made to Go-
vernment for an increased military and police force,
and that an Arms Act and Coercion Bill were called
for. Six persons were yesterday (Friday) ar-
rested on suspicion of the outrage, and lodged in the
county gaol of Nenagh. Their names are Patrick
Hogan, John Hogan, Thomas Hogan, James Hogan,
Thomas Dwyer, and John Ryan. We are happy to
say that up to this moment (Friday evening, half-
past seven o'clock), Mr. Bayly has been going
on as
well as can be expected —Tipperary Vindicator.
KING'S COUNTY.--BANAGHER, THURSDAY.—On
Wednesday night a party visited the house of Mrs.
Neill, but recently left a widow, and left in posses-
sion of a farm. The relatives of the husband de-
manded possession, a discussion ensued, and advice
being taken, it was resolved she should leave the
house until the difference calmed down. She went
to her father, Mr. Larken's house, and on Wednes-
day night a party of armed men called and demanded
to see her. The widow's father, an aged man, with
her brother at the door, resisted the entrance of the
marauders. A struggle ensued, shots were fired,
and Mr. Larken was wounded in the arm, the son in
the neck, not, we hope, dangerously.
COUNTY OF MAYO, BELLINA, Nov. 18.—ALLIIGED
MURDER.—On last Monday evening a man named
Browne died at Bunnifinglass, a place within four
miles of this town. The deceased attended a fair
held there that day, and was engaged in a fight with
some other persons. It is reported that he received a
blow of a loaded whip on the head, but he afterwards
transacted business and did not complain of being
injured. In the course of the evening, after having
drunk, it is said, pretty freely, he retired to bed, and
shortly after expired.—Tyrawly Herald.
COUNTY OF TYRONE.—DREADFUL MURDDR:—TO-
IfiEROY, Nov. 16.—About ten o'clock this morning a
bailiff named John Heazelton, went out to execute
a session decree on the person of Felix Linn, at the
suit of Peter M'Gone, of this town. The debt was
for two guns which M‘Gone sold to Linn last winter.
Linn had secreted himself in the house of a man of
the name of Mooney, who keeps an apothecary's
shop in this town. Out of this house he sallied at the
above hour, accompanied by four of his brothers, all
armed with bayonets, pitchforks, and pistols. The
party had not proceeded more than thirty perches out
of the village when the bailiff arrested Linn. A
dreadful affray now took place, in which unfortunate
Heazelton was stabbed in the side with a bayonet by
Linn, of which wound he died in the
M Gone,
course of the
‘
day. One of the brothers fired a is t°l at
which did little injury. Aninlumeps.trl. was held on
mur
Heazelton by Henry King, Es
Tyrone, when a verdict of wig coroner for
was re-
turned against Linn, and the other brotherdserace_ssories
of the murder. Two of the brothers had beene appre-
hended, but the other three have absconded, andit is
thought will endeavour to make their escape to Ame-
rica.—Newry Telegraph.
RESIGNATION OF KILKENNY BY MR. J.
O'CONNELL.

Mr. J. O'Connell has selected to sit for Limerick,
greatly to the chagrin of the Kilkenny Repeaters.
Mr. M. Sullivan has addressed the electors of the
latter city, and Mr. A. M'Carthy, late Member for
Cork, is also spoken of as a candidate.
THE " YOUNG IRELANDERS " IN BEL-
FAST—SUPPRESSION OF THE MEETING
—DREADFUL TUMULT.

Another meeting of the Young Ireland party was
to have been held in the Belfast Theatre on Thurday;
but owing to the threatening aspect of the mob, and
affidavits of apprehended tumult lodged with the ma-
gistrat.s, a strong police force was sent to shut the
theatre doors, and prevent the meeting from being
