SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EIGHTY- FIVE HEAD OF,
CATTLE SMOTHERED TO DEATH.—Shortly before ninel
o'clock on Saturday evening last an accident of a very
extraordinary and, in this port, unpfecedented
racter, occurred at the Queen's Quay, on board the
Foyle steamer, plying between this port and Fleet-
wood. By this accident no fewer than eighty-five
head of cattle and a pony were suddenly and unex-
pectedly destroyed. From the information which we
have been able to collect, it appears that the Foyle
bad taken in her cam), with a view of sailing at ',hie -
o'clock for Fleetwood.e' The cargo consisted principally
of cattle, to the number of 305 head, fifty of whom
were placed down in the forehold, and the rest were
tied on deck with ropes in the usual way. A few
minutes before the hour of sailing the vessel began
to sway a good deal from the motion of the cattle on
deck, the action of the tide, aryl her lightness in the
water. The cattle dealers exhibited the utmost alarm
for the safety of the stock, and expressed themselves in
a hasty and somewhat violent mermen A heavy lurch
to one side inspired them with so much fear that they
foolishly cut the ropes which tied the cattle on that
side, and the next moment another lurch threw the
untied cattle with tremendous violence agaiest the
others opposite, and the result was that seventy-seven
head were instantly killed or smothered to death,
about thirty burled into the river, and the ship was
thrown on her beam ends. Five of the thirty animals
thrown out of the vessel were drowned, the other
twenty-five were saved, but with much difficulty,
owing to the darkness of the night and the unfavour-
able nature of the quays for having them raised out
of the water. The cattle belonged respectively to
thirteen Irish dealers. The value of those destroyed
is estimated, by competent judges, at between three
and four hundred pounds. The Foyle was obliged
to delay her time of sailing till Sabbath morning at
eight o'clock. Early yesterday (Monday) morning
about twenty of the butchers of Belfast were on the
quay, busily engaged in skinning the animals, and
preparing them for sale by auction. At two o'clock
the entire lot, eighty-five head, were bought up, at
from 6s. to 7s, per cwt., by Mr. Warring, a tallow-
merchant in this town, for the purpose of
boiling them down for the tallow market. All
the hides were also sold, And- realised good
prices. We think it right to add that Mr.
Robert Henderson, the enterprising agent of
the Fleetwood Company, exhibited the utmost sym-
pathy for the owners of the cattle in the very great
loss they have sustained, and exerted himself, with the
people in his employment, in the most active manner,
to save as many of the beasts as possible. It is also
but justice to Messrs. Armstrong and Lindsay, Cap-
tain Rea, of the constabulary, Head-constable M'ln-
tyre and others of the police force, who attended with
torches, to state that their exertions were also marked
and praiseworthy. It is stated that several of the
owners of the cattle were yesterday making arrange-
ments to have an inquiry instituted into all the cir-
cumstances connected with the aecident.—Belfast

ARRIVAL or BREADSTUITS.—This morning several
foreign vessels, with cargoes of breadstuffs, arrived in
the Shannon ; amongst them Le Gloricux, formerly
a ship of war, but now disrated, and employed in the
mercantile service.—Linzerich Reporter of Tuesday.

STATE OF TIPPERARY.
CLONMEL, SEPT. 26.—0 n this morning, at an
early hour, the tedium of Clonmel life was relieved
by another military demonstration. The sounding
of trumpets and beating of drums set public curi-
osity to work to ascertain the reason why trum-
peters and drum-boys were exerting themselves so
vigorously. In a short time a party of the Ist Royal
Dragoons issued through the barrack-gate, and were
followed by a body of the 84th Infantry. Having
sent forward videttes, and made every other arrange-
ment for a military march, they moved on towards
Carrick. When the troops arrived about midway
between Clonmel and Cashel, they were met by a
body of police and an escort of the 4th Light Dra-
goons with ten prisoners in their custody.
Those men were arrested and brought into
Carrick on a previous day, on the charge of being
concerned in the attack on the police barrack at
-Glliiiower:',..The party from Clonmel relieved the
4th Light Dragoons of their charge, and, accom-
panied by the police, conducted the prisoners to
Olonmel gaol, where they safely lodged them. The
country continues perfectly quiet, and were it not
thai the Quthoritaes. are- engaged in bringing those
parties who 'violateel the law to justice, no person
would imagine that within the lgit IltW months open
rebellion had taken place in this district. •
ANOTHER ARREST FOR HIGH. TREASON.—A MTV.
named Patrick Cunningham, who had been resident
in this town, but absconded some time since, was
brought in here last night from Limerick and lodge's
in the county gaol on a charge of high treason.

DEA TII OF BRIGADIER- GENERAL STAGY.--It
with, feelings-of deep regret we perceive that the last
-Indian malt urtrigs us the molanolio,ly newts of tho domino

of this distinguished officer, whose gallantry at the haul©
of Sobraon ma), be still fresh_ in the recollection of our

readers. The brave veteran died on the 18th of
at Neernuch. He vas a C. 8., and A.D.C. to the Queen,
he also held the Colonelcy of the 43d Regt. of Bengal
Light Infantry, and commanded the Meymar field force.
He was a cadet of 1804, and had resided ever since in
India. lie distinguished himself greatly on the return
march of the British troops from Cabal, at the battle of
Maharejpore in 1843, and at the memorable one of So-

braon in 1846. _ In the latter action, in which th© British

army stormed the strong intrenchments of the Sikhs, de-
fended by 30,000 of their best troops, and a formidable
artillery, Stacy's brigade was appointed to commence
end head the attack, and upon the fall of the gallant
Major-Gcneral Dick at the beginning of the action, the
ccmmand devolved upon him.

MURDER AT GLASGOW.—At the Glasgow Circuit
Court, on Monda), James M'Lusky, miner, was unani-
mously found guilty, by a❑ intelligent jury, of the mur-
of James M'Bride, also a miner, at Stanrigg, near Air-
drie, by cutting and stabbing him in the abdomen with
a knife, in December last, from the wounds of which ho

died in about 24 hours. The jury unanimously recom-
mended him to the Royal clemency, on account of their
being no evidence of previous malice; but we understand
there is no great hope entertained that it will prove
efiectual. The pannel M'Lusky was brought up this
morning, and sentenced to be hanged at Glasgow, Oa
Tuesday, the 17th October next. M'Lusky betrayed no
symptoms of compunction on receiving sentence. Lord
Cockburn, in passing sentence, gave the pannel no hope
1 of the recommendation of the jury being entertained.-

ease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.-James
Hazlitt, millwright, of Menagh, county of Donegal, was
affected with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with
sores from the ear to the elbow, and down the right side,
which rendered him totally unable to work at his trade.
His malady was of so malignant a nature that he became
a loathsome object of pity. In this state he was pre-
sented with some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and
by persevering in the use of these wonderful remedies
for a few weeks, he has been soundly cured, and is now
able to resume his laborious occupation.-Sold by all
