OUTRAGES IN TIPI?ERARY.

The following appears in SaundErs's News Letter:—
" NENA4II, OCT. 11.-I regret to have to acquaint
you that there were two men shot: on Friday evening, a
few miles from this town. One aye s supposed to be in
reference to a bygone dispute. Th e assassin discharged
a blunderbuss, loaded with slugs, Irol ien within two yards
of his victim, having walked quietly into the kitchen for
the purpose. The man, fortunate) y, heard the click of
the lock and turned aside, which e,aved him from final
death ; as it is, he received tw-o of the slugs in his
lungs near the heart, many passing through the muscles,
and ten entered his shoulder. The. other ill-fated man
was fired at about a year since, an d escaped with the
loss of a finger ; but on this mess ion he was less fortu-
nate, for he lost his life.
_ " There are the most serious a pprehensions of riot and

disturbance ; mobs are coming ini o town from all quar-
ters, to demand work and bread. The unfortunate people
are goaded on by some lawless. miscreants, who have

nothing to lose.
" The Roman Catholic clergy men were all occupied
to day in exhorting their flocks, !from the altars, not to
assemble and peril their lives by riotous behaviour. I
bore most anxiously that their :ad vice will be followed."
The Evening Packet contains a letter from Borriso-
kane, which states that the two imen fired at are named
Gaynor and Cleary. Neither of them is dead, and
Cleary is not seriously wounded.
OUTRAGES IN CLARE.—On Saturday morning, about
five o'clock, six men stopped a b orse and car bringing
oats to market, near Shally-hall, and snapped a gun at
the horse. The animal started at; the flash, and fell under
the car, where he remained for !a long time, the people
being afraid to give the owner assistance.
At the hour of ten o'clock a p arty, similar in number,
stopped a horse with a load of corn, on the road at Pow-
der-hole, near Ruan, and fired tivo shots at the horse,
wounding him dreadfully. The owner entreated them
not to injure the horse, and he -would return home with
the oats, but the legislators refu:sed compliance with the
request. The police stationed at: Ruan immediately went
in pursuit, but were not able to 'come up with the party.
The country is at this time in a lamentable condition.
In every direction outrages are committed with impunity.
The police are altogether inca oable of preserving the
peace. We really dread that a gs.neral system of plunder
will be resorted to.—Clare Jortrizal.
THE ARMY.—The 83d Regiment have been replaced
in Clare Castle and Ennis by the 59th! We understand
that an entire depot has been applied for, and that it is
daily expected.—Clare Journizl.

THE SPANISH DEBT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:
beg to express my, sincere thanks for your
ready insertion of my commnmcatton on the above sub-
ject, in the columns of your valuable journal. If any
confirmation were needed of the fact therein stated,
that the greater portion of the Active Bonds were now
in the hands of foreigners, I might refer to the City ar-
ticle of the Morning Post of yes terday, in which a e
are
exultingly informed of the exertions which are being
made on the Continent by the (self-constituted) com-
mittee of Spanish bondholders, and of the coalition it
has formed with the Spanish (Active) bondholders in
every capital in Europe. Th e majority of the British
creditors would be better pleaaed if it were to attend a
little more to their interests and somewhat less to those
of their continental coadjutors ; but when they recollect
that that committee principally represents the interests
of a few wealthy Active bondholders, some of whom
realised large sums by their successful efforts to produea
the great and sudden fall in the value of Spanish stocks
ten years ago, which was so ruinous to the British cre-
ditors, they will not be surprised that the parties in
question should now restrict their efforts to the obtaining
a further funding of the overdue Coupons of the Active
Stock, in which only themselves and their continental
concexions are, at the present time, much interested,
keeping the just claims of the numerous holders of
Passive Stock in the back-ground, and merely bolding
out to them the prospect of a possible trifling addition
to the value of their bonds, which a further payment of
interest to themselves may occasion.
I trust, however, that the exertions of the Passive
bondholders, aided by the independent press of the me-
tropolis, may frustrate the scheme, and secure to the
general body of the British creditors of Spain—the real
sufferers by the Spanish loans—the benefit of any future
arrangement of the debt.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
AN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE
BONDHOLDER.
City, Oct. 13, 1846.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Notice has been given
that all the houses in Old Broad-street and Leadenhall-
street, between the Hall of Commerce and the Royal
Exchange, are forthwith to be demolished, preparatory
to the projected improvements.
NARROW ESCAPE.—On 'Wednesday afternoon, as a
sailing barge named the Sarah Ann, William Jackson,
master, was proceeding down the river, and when oft
the Parliament Houses, one of the crew named Jobn
Keep fell overboard. The master instantly seized a
hitcher, and succeeded in catching hold of Keep, and
pulled him into the barge. It was found, however, that
the point of the hitcher had entered his shoulder,
inflicting a severe wound. He was conveyed ashore
in the boat, and from thence to the hospital, suffering
great pain.
