THE SIXTH VOLUME OF " THE NELSON LETTERS
AND DisrxrcliEs," just published, will be considered to rival
either of its predecessors in interest, when it is known that
they were written from 1804 to 1805, whilst Nelson was Com-
mander in Chief in the Mediterranean, watching the French
squadron in Toulon, until it sailed to the West Indies, where
it was eagerly-pursued by him with a very inferior force.
Net the least important portion of this volume is the reply
it contains to the-assertions made in M.Thiers'srecent history.
As this truly national publication approaches its conclusion—
which will be effected in the next volume—it is evident that
the value of the materials greatly increases.

' FRIGHTFUL MURDERS IN TIPPERAY.
DUBLIN, Mauch 11.—Accounts have been received this
morning of two most shocking murders perpetrated in the
Northern Riding of Tipperary. One of them is thus de-
scribed by the Tipperary Vindicator :—" We regret to have
to record the barbarous murder of an industrious man named
James Keane, who resided at Gurtmore; within a few miles
of Nenagh. It appears that on the night of the sth. inst., as
the unfortunate man was proceeding in the direction. of his
home, be was met on the road, at TUllaheady, by three
infuriated demons, who, with savage vengeance, rushed on
their victim, ftilled him to the ground, and inflicted a fatal
wound on tho left side of the head. The heartless miscreants
decamped, leaving him almost a lifeless corpse on the road
side. The unfortunate man endeavoured to make the best
of his way home, where he languished under the most
excruciating pains from the effect of the wound until Sun-
day, the Bth inst., when death put an end to his torture. No
cause has been assigned for the perpetration of this horrible
deed. Au inquest was held on Sundayt on view of the body,
by Michael Carroll, Esq., coroner,' when iti3Orditt :Of wilful
murder was returned against some 'person or persons un-
known." The Nenayh Guardian says—" Deceased held 24
acres of land, under Mr. Tuthill, and has left a-wife and six
children, the eldest of whoth is only twelve yens old. We
understand that he was a relative of the Rev. Mi. Magrath,.
P.P., of the Silvermines. A man named William Fogarty,
whom deceased named as one of the party who attacked him,
•
has been taken into custody."
The Tipperary Vindicator gives the following account of
the second murder : —" On Sunday night a party of men, con-
sisting of six in number, one armed with a pistol, entered the
house of a man named Meara, of Gurtavalla, within half a
mile of Cloghjordan. They first knocked Meara down with
a stone, inflicting a deadly wound. They then, with savage
ferocity, struck him on his head until his brains were dashed
out. The yard, was full of turf mould, andfrom the appear-
ance of his body it is supposed that they trampled on him.
A• finger and thumb on his right hand were broken ; there
was a large fracture on the back of his head, one on his
crown, where the brains protruded, four on his face, and his
forehead presented a shocking appearance., Two sons and
two daughter: were in the house at the time. This foul deed
Was committed between the hours of seven and eight o'clock,
and within a few yards of another house ; but though the
shrieks of the inmates were heard, no one came to their
assistance. Meara's family consisted of his wife, two sons
(one of,them a grown man, .the other a boy), and two
daughters, who were in the kitchen afthe time the party,were
beating the father. The son attempted to get to the father's
assistance, but was held by the mother. He, however, suc-
ceeded in getting away from her, but when he did they were
going. away. The number of Meara's assailants were six.
Meara is father to the man that killed Kennedy.on last
Patrick's day, on his return from the fair at Borrisokane.
Seven men have been arrested for this murder." •
GOVERNMENT MEASURES. • • • -
At a meeting of .the. Cork Poor-Jaw Union, on Monday,
the folloWing communication was submitted from Commis-
sary-General Hewetson
" Lee Mills Depa, Cork, March 7, 1846.

" Gentlemen,—Asdie period is now appioaching when In-
dian corn and Indian corn meal will come very generally into
use among the peasantry and others as a substitute for the
Potato, and several unions having applied to me for a small
quantity of the meal for the purpose of testing its quality as
food, I am induced, in order that the mode of preparing it,
should become generally known and widely circulated, to
address your board upon this subject; and now enclose a
pamphlet, published by her Majesty's Government,, giving
m
full and explicit information touching the various odes of
preparing it.
You,will observe that everything which can be made
with wheaten or oaten flour may be made with Indian corn
meal, and the latter is even stated to be more wholesome
and more nutritious; of different modes of cooking I should
say that best adapte for use by the peasantry and labour-
ing classes, and-stilted' to their sample means of cooking, is
as described by Father Mathew in his valuable letter re-
cently published in Cork—stirabout or porridge, hominy and
mush.
" Three pounds and a half of Indian corn meal will make
stirabout or porridge for ten persons; less than half a pound
of corn flour for a meal for one man, and a warm comfort-
able meal that fills and strengthens the stomach.
" I may further add, as noted in these instructions, that
in all the rural districts of America, and many parts of the
Continent of Europe, the people, instead of becoming tired
of this food, become more attached to it.
" In conclusion, as I am most anxious that not even a
shade of prejudice should arise with respect to its use, and
which can only be,occasioned by a defective mode of cask-
ing, I would urgently press upon the attention of your
board, in any experiment that may be made, that thorough
boiling or baking, as the • case may be, is a most essential
point ; with that precaution I feel confident it will be found
a mqst palatable, wholesome, and nutritious food.
"I am, gentlemen, your most Obedient servant,
" H. HEWETSON, Commissary-General."
THE ARMT.—BELFAST, MARDI! 10.--The Ist Royal Dra-

ceived a letter from Sir R. Peel, acknowledging the receipt of
the annual report of the Society, expressing a gratification at

Crampton, previously to his adjourning the court, and asked
if they were likely to agree to their verdict. The foreman

agreeing.
