and ounces according as you required them. I encou-
raged you to make improvements in your farms, and as-
sisted you with all the means in my power; and was it
for doing so you assaulted me on the high road, in early
day, with intent to take away my life? I was armed at
the time. I had this pistol which I now hold in my
hand, and would have shot the fellow down, but that I
bad it in an inside pocket, not expecting an attack.
When I shook off my outside coat and mufflers the
fellow and his comrade were too far distant for me to hit
them. Now, I tell you, I will go down amongst you,
but for the future I ,shall go armed, yes, to the teeth,
and compel you to pay your rent. And I tell you fur-
" ther, you shall never get one shilling allowance until
you drag that ruffian to justice; you have him secreted,
and you know where he is. Not one of you but owes
me from four to ten half-years' rent—can you
deny this?
" A Voice—We cannot.

" Mr. Moore resumed—Other tenants,' poorer than
you, have paid up their rents, and for my leniency to
you this is the return I met. Since last June sessions
I bad these orders of the court in my possession
(producing a bundle of decrees), to distrain for rent,
but I would not put them into execution. No; I did
not like to take your cows and your pigs; I pre-
ferred waiting until you would dispose of your crops,
that you might pay me up by little and little; and now
that you are disposing of them, and that I go to seek
for payment of some portion of year debts—for a land-
lord must live as well as another man—you attempt to
murder me. Ido not speak of my exertions in your
behalf, and of my forbearance, to earn applause, but I
do it in order that the public may judge of your in-
gratitude.
" (Hr. Moore was here interrupted by exclamations
similar to those above; the tenantry declaring they 'al-
ways found him kind and indulgent.)
" Mr. Moore—The outrage of which I complain i 3 a
disgrace to your neighbourhood. You thought to palm
it upon the wretched creatures of Mudwall-row; but they
never did it—they knew nothing about it—they are
wholly innocent of it. That disgraceful and murderous
act was concocted in your Ribbon Lodges—at night,
when honest men should be sleeping in their beds. If
you want to shoot me, give me a chance for my life,
and I will stand, out before you. I will face the bullet
of any man, only let him give me a man's chance.
You had your men ready, and you hired them.
One of them you have at present covered; now, unless
you bring forward this fellow, and deliver him into the
hands of the authorities, I will put every one of these
decrees into force before twenty-tour hours. lam now
ready to receive rent from amongst you who are ready
to pay.
" Mr. Moore then retired into the office; some few
followed, apparently, to settle their accounts, but the
majority went away. '
SIR CHARLES NAPIER.

The following letter has been received from the hero
of Sinde, in reply to a vote of thanks from the Royal
Agricultural Society, for the munificent donation of
200 L, which he placed at their disposal last year, through
the instrumentality of Captain ,Pitt Kennedy, for the
promotion of practical agricultural instruction in Ire-
land:—

" Cheltenham, Nov. 8, 1848.
" Sir,—l beg that you will give my respectful thanks
to the council of your society, for the obliging letter
which you wrote to me in the name of the members.
"I also have to thank you for the balance-sheet of
the practical instructors, which you were so kind as to
forward to me. The only thing that does not look well
in it is, the low amount of subscription to a plan from
which such good results have arisen, and from which so
much greater may still be expected.
"Your obedient humble servant,
"CHARLES NAPIER, Lieut.-General.
" Edward Bullen, Esq., Secretary, &c."

DEATH OF MR. MANSFIELD, PROPRIETOR OP THE
" DUBLIN EVENING PAcLET."—We deeply regret to
have to announce the death of Nicholas Murray Mans-
field, the much-respected proprietor of the Dublix Elm*.
ing Pachet, which occurred last evening, after a short
but painful illness.
DUBLIN. SUNDAY.—The-Lord-Lieutenant is expected
in this city on Thursday next, on his return from
England.
Letters from Clonmel, received this morning, state
that the excitement caused by the arrests at the Wilder-
ness, near that town, had entirely died away. The
Tipperary Free Press of yesterday says:—
•' An investigation into the circumstances of the case
was held on yesterday (Friday), in the gaol, and we
understand it resulted in the magistrates forwarding a
recommendation to Government to admit tin parties out
on bail."

There are further accounts of evictions of tenantry in
Limerick and Clare.

CLONMEL, Nov. 11, Six o'CLocr.

Arrangements hare been made for sending the
State prisoners to Dublin, at half-past six o'clock, on
Monday morning next. A mail coach with four
horses has been provided for the conveyance of
Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, M'Manus, and O'Dono-
hoe ; and five four-horse cars belonging to Bianconi's
establishment have been engaged for conveying a
hundred of the police force. The coach and cars
are to be admitted to the gaol yard to-morrow
evening after dusk, in order that as little tumult
a 3 possible may be excited, and the horses
are to be in readiness at six o'clock on Monday
morning. A special train will leave Thurles with
the prisoners at twelve o'clock precisely, and precau-
tionary measures have been taken to prevent any
malicious derangement of the railway in the mean-
time. The cortege from this will be followed by a
troop of dragoons. A recruiting party has been
parading the streets of this town all the afternoon,
with drums and fifes, and the usual accompaniment
of party-coloured stripes, but they do not appear to
have succeeded in decoying any of the natives to
enlist. The shades of evening, however, may be
more propitious, when the hearts of the rustic pa-
triot•, mellowed by a few sprinklings of " mountain
dew," will incline them to listen with an attentive
ear to the glorious recital of Sergeant Hoolahan's
campaigns, and regard with wistful eye the bright
shilling that glistens in the palm of his all-bountiful
hand.

Two companies of the 63d, under the command
of Major Law, have just marched in from Carrick-
on-Suir. The officers and men are billeted through-
out the town.

DIAMOND STEAM PACKET 1: COMPANT.—The
annual meeting of this company was held at the Talbot
Inn, Gravesend, on Friday last. Mr. H. Warren pre-
sided. The directors, in their report, setting forth the
receipts for passage money, &c., together with a former
balance, amounting to 23,516/. is. 10d., said, they felt
great pleasure in stating to the shareholders that, after
leaking the necessary disbursements there appeared a

had given consideration to the expediency of '9"
ering
several provisions of the deed, but the subject had net,
yet been matured so as to call for the meeting of the
proprietors that would be necessary. The report having
been adopted by the meeting, the chairman said he should
be glad to know if it was the pleasure of the shareholders
that a dividend of fire per cent. should be paid? Mr.
Parkins (a director) having explained their means of
paying such a dividend, which he said would leave a
balance of 280/. in hand, the same was unanimously
agreed to. Mr. Coombe directed the attention of the
managers to the new line of railway in course of con-
struction between Gravesend and London, and urged
upon them the necessity of entering into negotiations
with the Blackwell Railway Company, for disembarking
passengers at their station. After some conversation,
the chairman suggested that it would be better to leave
the matter to the directors, b) whom every facility for
its accomplishment would be afforded. The meeting then
separated.

There was a good supply of both mutton and beef • the

from sd. to 50. per lb. Horses were scarce.— Gloucester
