ENNISCOUTHY, Nov. 3.—The Labour Act is now here
in full operation, so far as regards the town and its im-
mediate neighbourhood. There are, at this moment,
nearly two hundred labourers at work by task, at four-
pence a square yard, sinking sewers through the different
streets in the town. The task work will remunerate the
labourers, and give them an average of eighteenpence a
day.— Waterford Chronicle.

" Sir,—The accompanying additional instructions, re-
lative to the formation of relief committees, having been

" 1. The archbishops and bishops of the Established
Church and the Roman Catholic Church, to be mem-
bers of the relief committees in the districts where they
reside.

" '2. As in many cases the principal officiating clergy-
man may be prevented by other duties from attending
at the relief committees, he is at liberty to name one of
his assistants for each parish committed to his charge,
to act in his place; and in towns, one for each district
into which the parish may have been hitherto divided.
" 3. The Commissioners of Public Works to, be mem-
bers of all committees."'

the house of Mrs. Cooney, of Clerihan, was entered

consumed, though the neighbours used all possible ex-

burning is yet unknown. Mr. Tobin has, however,
served notice on the high constable of the barony, pre-
paratory to his seeking compensation for the injury done
him at the next 'assizes.
THE ATTACK ON MRS. FINCH.—The Tipperary Vin-
dicator says—" We are happy to say that Mrs. Finch is
perfectly aware that no intention existed to do her bodily
injury, and that she has perfectly recovered the tempo-
rary shock the attack was calculated to afford. There
is not in the country a more benevolent or excellent lady,
and all parties deplore that she should be math the ob-
ject of any attack whatever. Her steward, who is most
faithful, has been a long time obnoxious to a few vaga-
bonds in that neighbourhood."
ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF MR. B. COOKE.--The
Lord-Lieutenant has cffered a reward of 1001. for the
apprehension of the persons who fired at Mr. B. Cooke,

tween seven and eight o'clock, an armed party attacked the
house of the Rev. W. 13unbury, within half a mile of the
-town of Charleville. A knock was heard at the hall door,
and when the servant asked' who was there ?' a man re-
plied, ' He came with a message from Mr. Bunbury's
nephew,
who resides in the neighbourhood.' The servant,
suspecting nothing, opened the door, when
the fellow
presented a gun at him ; he caught at the gun, end
struggled with the ruffian, who not being able to shake
him off, drew a pi,tol, from his b:rst, and snapped a:
