GREAT MEETING OF THE PI ASANTRY AT

WATERFORD, MoN DAY, JULY 17.

Mr. Meagher's entry into Water ford, which was
expected to take place on yesterday evening at four
o'clock, did not occur until half-pa:; t two o'clock this
morning, as he was forcibly carri.; ,d by the Cashel
Clubs to the meeting at SlievnaJ non, where, with
Mr. Doheny, he addressed at least 50,000 persons.
At eleven o'clock, r.x., he left Ca.' rick-on-Suir for
Waterford ; the Carrick Clubs wts out in march-
ing order, and numbered 1,200 um en. The multi-
tude which thronged the road fo r eighteen
prevented the procession, which ;accompanied Mr.
Meagher, from moving along at a quicke,r. pace
than three miles per hour ; lid at 'Mown
he was compelled to address the as se •mbled thousands
at midnight. He remains here for th ree or four days,
and should any attempt be made to seize him on any
new charge blood will flow freely.
At Carrick-on-Suir this morning three of the club
leaders were arrested, and the chi(!,l of police inti-
mated to the Rev. Mr. Byrne, R.C..i 3., that he might
consider himself under arrest; but the Rev.
Mr. Byrne is reported to have told him to seize him
if he thought proper, which, it is :is id, the chief de-
clined. The news of the arrest of th e club presidents
spread through the town like wil I fire—every horse
in Carrick was dragged out, and s..!nt off for rein-
forcements of the peasantry to t ie slate quarries
and neighbouring towns, and the 'driver of the car
which brought the account here says that pikes
and guns were to be seen in all di L.( ctions hastening
to the town. It is also stated that. two gentlemen,
Messrs. O'Donnell and Mandeville, went armed be-
fore the magistrate, and told him tt at the country
was rising, and that if he wished it' ) avoid a rebel-
lion he had better liberate the priso a ers, who would
come forward at any time to sten d their trial for
any charge that might be made again 35 t them; as in
20 minutes a force would arrive in Carrick which
would annihilate the garrison, it was d, eemed prudent
to comply with the request, and the' / prisoners were
restored to their homes, and thus Mono was Carrick,

and perhaps Ireland, saved from bloodshed for the
present. Nothing can equal the wild enthusiasm of
the people here; the starving ones (a too numerous
class), who feed on a wild berry called " hurts,"
and on anything they can find, rejoice at the idea
of skinnaging (skirmishing), whilst the middle
classes, in the towns at least, whose shops have now
been long idle, are indifferent to what turns up. A
shopkeeper here, who employed twelve clerks, on
Easter Monday last (a great market-day in other
years) had, at the close of the day, two fourpenny
pieces in his cash-box, the produce of his sales for
that day !

Should anything further of note turn up, I will
write to-morrow.— Chronicle.

RIOT AT CARRICK-ON-SUIR.
(From the Swelling Packet, July 18.)

The Rev. Mr. Byrne, Roman Catholic Priest, was
yesterday arrested, on a charge of sedition, and placed
in the Bridewell.

The people assembled in large muses, and made an
attack on the gaol. They succeeded in rescuing Mr.
Byrne, and set free all the prisoners.
The military, being without orders, did not act.
The departure of the Lord-Lieutenant for England
has been delayed for a few days.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER).
IMPEY V. KNIGHT.
This was an action on a contract. The plaintiff is a
gentleman residing at Twickenham. and in April last
let a furnished cottage, called Lawn Cottage, to defen-
dant, at the yearly rent of 170/., and there were several
covenants to keep the grounds in good condition, &c.,
and to make good all damages or dilapidations. The
defendant left, however, at the end of the term, leaving
one quarter's rent unpaid. Mr. flames, a surveyor, es..
timated the dilapidation at 13/. 11s. 7d., but that amount
was reduced by consent to 12/. 12s.
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, bat
did not appear to support the plea.
The jury gave a verdict fur 53/. 1 ls. 7d.—This was
the only case tried.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Mary Anne Parker, a young woman of very genteel
appearance, was indicted for stealing a child's chaise, of
the value of 305., the property of Charles Scott. -
The charges rested entirely on the evidence of the
prosecutor's wife, who lets out children's chaises, and
other vehicles, for hire, and stated, that on the 14th of
June the prisoners obtained the chaise from her for hire.
The chaise not being returned, Mrs. Scott went to the
address given -by the person who hired, and who she
swore positively was the prisoner; but neither the chaise
nor the nurse-maid who borrowed it were known there.
Some days afterwards she saw the prisoner, and gave her
into custody.
The defence was that the prosecutrix was mistaken as
to the identity, and the lady in whose service the pri-
soner was employed on the day when she was alleged to
have taken the chaise, swore that on that day she had
not left the house, nor had she any child in her charge.
There were other respectable witnesses to confirm that
statement.

The JUDGE stopped the case, and the jury acquitted
the prisoner, who left the court accompanied by respect-
able friends.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT OF A WOMAN TO MURDER
HER THREE CHILDREN.—Hannah Leith, a wretched
looking woman, 35 years of age, residing at No. 27,
Carburton-street, Marylebone, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having attempted
to destroy her three children, aged respectively ten
years, two years, and ten months, by administering to
them a quantity of sugar of lead. She was also charged
with attempting to destroy herself by taking the same
deadly poison. The prisoner, who appeared to be in
great distress, was so weak from the effects of the poison
she had taken that she was accommodated with a seat in
the dock.
The first witness examined was police-constable New-
man, who, on being sworn, said—About half-past num
last night I received information that a woman had
poisoned herself and three children, and in consequence
I went to No. 27, Carburton-street, in company with Mr.
Lawson, the surgeon. I found the prisoner lying on a
bed with her three children. Mr. Lawson said he wished
to put a question to her, and he hoped she would answer
truly. He then asked her if she had taken any poison
herself. She said she had taken sugar of lead, and had
administered some to her three children in some tea,
and as soon as she had done it she sent her eldest
boy to acquaint his aunt. The prisoner and her
three children were in great agony at the
time, and Mr. Lawson used the stomach pump, in order
to remove the poison from their stomachs. I produce a
certificate signed by Mr. Lawson to that effect, and
stating that he believed them now out of danger.
George Leith, the prisoner's son, was then examined,
and said—l am ten years old. Last night 1 was taken
very ill after tea. Soon after my two youngest brothers
were takun ill, and my mother was taken very bad also.
My father was out, Ido not know what made me ill.
My mother told me to go to my aunt's and tell her that
she had murdered the children and poisoned herself.
I was taken so bad that I could not walk.
The prisoner in a sullen manner said she had nothing
to say.
Mr. BINGHAM remanded her for a week.
