having landed the 73d Regiment. She is at present in
Table-bay, embarking stores, &c., for the lighthouse
erecting on Cape Agulhas. She is to leave Table- bay
on Thursday next (the 7th). The Arab, 12, arrived
here on the 31st of August, from Natal. She expe-
rienced very bad weather on her passage down, and
sprang her mainmast so badly as to require a new one,
which is being made, and she is expected to leave this
for India in,about a month. The Eurydice, 26, leaves
this on Saturday, the 9th, on a five months' cruise in the
Mozambique, Zaniibar, Comora Islands, &c. Captain
Fulford, recently posted from the President, goes home
passenger in the Rosamond ; also Lieutenant Dashwood
(acting), from the Nimrod. No commander is likely to
be appointed to the President until after the Rosamond
has sailed, when Lieutenant Von Donop, it is expected,
will be appointed actitag. The Nimrod has received
orders to-day td hOld.hersell in readiness to proceed to
sea in a day or two, but where is not known—the Mau-
ritius or Natal, most likely."

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.--The following letter appears
in the Mail of last night:—
" GORT, OCT. 24.—There was another attempt yester-
day to levy a ss. rate, but it was a total failure. A force
of 50 police and 45 military, infantry and cavalry, ac-
companied by three officers, left Gort at ten o'clock, to
distrain for poor-rates at Kinvarra; they were there met
by Mr. Davys, the stipendiary magistrate; they had not
proceeded above a mile, when they found walls or barri-
cades, some six or eight feet high, built across the high
road, from which the party was assailed with showers of
stones. The police were ordered to prime and load, but
this had no other effect than bringing more volleys of
stones, which injured some of them very much, and
broke four or five of their firelocks. The magistrate re-
ceived several blows, and finding he could make no im-
pression, upon consulting his staff, thought it more pru-
dent to retire."

The Freeman' s Journal gives more ample details :

" On Monday last a detachment of the 4th Light Dra-
goons, headed by Captain Brown, and another of the
89th Regiment of Foot, commanded by Lieutenant
Skinner, 40 men in all, left Gort, for the purpose of
collecting poor-rates in the parish of Kinvarra, eight
miles from Gort. There were also 50 of the police force,
commanded by T. M'Mahon, 5.1., and J. Davys, sti-
pendiary magistrate. On passing through the village of
Kinvarra, the cars that were to convey away the corn,
being at the rear of the military, were laid hands on sud-
denly by people there, who upset the horses and the cars,
but assistance was immediately rendered by the force at
hand. They went on for the distance of a mile
and a half, until they came to the district they were
to distrain on, when a barricade obstructed their passage.
They then got on another road leading to the same dis-
trict, when a barricade, partly formed, met their view,
protected by about 300 men and women. They refused
to let the armed force pass, and said they would rather
sacrifice their lives than permit it. They were told re-
sistance would be useless, but they persisted to maintain
their ground. The Riot Act was read three times, and
still they would not give way, when the police were or-
dered to charge with filed bayonets, and also the 89th.
Stones were then thrown by the people, many of whom
received severe wounds in the charges of the police.
They then commenced a guerilla warfare from behind
the walls, and severely
.injured some of the police and
military. One of the police got a most severe cut in the
face, and Mr. Davys and .his horse was struck two or
three times. The police drove the people for a quarter
of a mile into the fields, but they were as certain to be
back again to the scene of action. Mr. Davys did not
wish to shed blood by ordering the military or police to
fire, and in being late in the day he ordered them to turn
round and proceed home. Much praise is due to the
forbearance of the authorities, as among such a deter-
minded people there is not the least doubt but much
blood would have been shed. There was a greater
number of people further down towards the sea coast,
protecting another barricade, in case the people above
should be scattered. 01 course there will be a greater
force brought down there in some few days. This union
is in a wretched way, the poor-house, built for 500, with
sheds, is now holding 2,000, and a ss. rate, which now
makes Bs. in the pound this year, and 1,0001. due of the
union, leaves us in a poor way indeed."
MURDER OF A BAlLlFF.—Further indications of
the winter's pastimes are shadowed forth in the fol-
lowing paragraph, extracted from the Limerick
Examiner of yesterday :
"An atrocious murder was perpetrated yesterday
near Mungret. The corn of a man named Flanagan
was seized by the landlord for rent, and a bailiff,
named Michael Donoghue~ appointed to take charge
of it. He arrived at the premises about one o'clock,
and in übout an hour after, while he was engaged
with the owner of the corn in searching it.. out, a
man having a handkerchief over hie face, and armed
with a gun, entered, and, without uttering a syllable or
delaying an instant, lodged the contents in the unfortu-
nate bailiff's body. Tha bailiff survived but a few mo-
ments. He was the father of eight children. The
murder took place within forty paces of the police bar-
racks at Ballinacurra, in which, however, there were
only two constables at the time. They heard the shot,
but were unable to institute an immediate pursuit. In a
short time after a search was instituted, and two persons,
named O'Neil and Flanagan, were arrested on suspicion.
Some witnesses who, it is said, can identify the party by
whom the daring and atrocious deed was perpetrated
have been brought into Limerick. The gun was found
this morning in a field near where the murder was com-
mitted. A man of the name of Mulqueen has been
this day arrested by the police. He is fully committed.
He has, it is said, been identified as the person who
actually fired the shot. An inquest has been held by
Mr. J. Bennett, coroner, and a verdict of Wilful Murder
returned against Mulqueen."
