OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

The sanguinary deeds which have long attracted public at.
tention to the condition of the Irish populace, have not, it
appears from the accounts of Saturday from Dublin, di-
minished either in frequency or atrocity. A most savage
murder was perpetrated some twelve days since on the body
of an old man, named Samuel Crummer, aged 75, at Killy.
begs, county Donegal. The supposed murderers are the son
and daughter-in-law of the wretched victim, now in custody.
The mangled body was found in an adjacent lake, the
chest completely crushed in, the arms broken, and several
contusions on the skull. From the Newry Telegraph we
learn, also, that a dastardly attempt at assassination was
perpretrated this day (Tuesday) week, upon a young man,
aged 90, by name George Kyle ; a shot having been tired at
him on the high road, near Keady, County Armagh. Six-
teen slugs were thus lodged in the hips and thighs of the
victim, of whose recovery scarcely any hopes were enter-
tained. His presence among the Orange party at the riots
of July, in Armagh, is stated as the cause of the murderous
attempt. According to the Limerick Chronicle a desperate
conflict had taken place near Cush, between the police and
the Rockites. Six police patrols having not only beat above
double their number of assailants but captured three of the
gang, named Dwyer, Cosheer and Shebin. Several shots
were fired, followed by a violent struggle hand to hand,
in which, as above stated, the police came off victorious.

THE CIVIL WAR IN THE CITY.—OR Saturday morn-
ing, Mr. Dadd, superintendent of the Waternien's Steam-boat Com-:
pany, and Edmund Mackey, and John Ireland, two of the crew of
the Waterman No 5, were liberated from Newgate, after an incar-
ceration of thirteen days. They were convicted on the oth instant,
for the part they took la resisting the water bailiffs, city police, and
others, acting under the authority of the Lord Mayor, who removed
by force the barges forming the St. Paul's-wharf pier. Their sen-
tence was thirteen days' imprisonment, which expired on Saturday
morn'ng. Directly they quitted Newgate, they each received a hand-
some present in money, and a new suit of clothes, for which they
were measured in Newgate on the Tuesday previous. They were
also entertained at a public breakfast, at the offices of the City
Steam-packet Company, in Earl-street, Blackfriars, by a number of
gentlemen connected with the trade and navigation of the river, at
which Mr. Charles Hancock, secretary of the city Steam-boat Com-
pany, presided. Mr. Kinchin, the master of Waterman No. 5, who
was convicted at the same time of a common assault, and sentenced
to five weeks' imprisonment, will be liberated on Saturday, the 18th
of March.

took place at Saboll yesterday (Monday). The magistrates were
the Rev. Mr, CliVe, Colonel Short, and Mr. J. M. Boultbee. Thomas
Bleor proved that the prisoner lodged in his house at Bileton, and
had gone under the name of Thomas Jones. The witnesses were
re-called, and signed their depositions. The Chairman asked the
accused, after the usual caution, whether he had anything to say
on his behalf why he should not be fully committed to Warwick
Ga!,i for the murder of Thomas Tranter ? Reed answered, thall all
Ile had to say was that he had three witnesses to prove that the
boots made for him by Blick, one of the witnesses, were lefts-and-
rights. He went on to say, that they were not present now, but he

magistrates had come to a determination, after the evidence which
had been adduced, to commit the prisoner for trial. The heir-at-law
