ATTEMPT TO MURDER.

The following is from a correspondent of the Evening Free-
man, at Mountmellick :—On the evening of Sunday, about
seven o'clock, the houseof Widow Cantwell, of Skelly, two
miles from Mountmellick, was attacked by three men. One of
them presented a double-barrel pistol at ThomasCantwell,who
grasped the weapon, and while he was endeavouring to
wrench it from the ruffian it exploded and lodged its con-
tents, two balls, in the body of his brother Joseph, who was
coming to his assistance. Joseph Cantwell now lies danger-
ously ill, and is not expected to recover. The balls were ex-
tracted by Dr. Crolly, who afforded the wounded man every
assistance within the scope of medical aid. Thomas Cant-
well was wounded slightly in the fingers. After firing the
shot the three men retired. These men had rendered them-
selves obnoxious by their acting as bailiffs on a portion of
the notoriously-known lands of Clonaheen, now held by a
Mr. Beale. A man named William Walsh, has been taken
on suspicion. He was ejected, with others, from these lands

twelve months ago.
The lock and shattered breech of a pistol was found on
Monday morning in Cantwell's house; it is supposed that tho
pistol burst at the time of its discharge.

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES

OF RICH MEADOW. PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that
they are paid by a compromise with the

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through Willeehall. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build-
ings essential for Agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it

of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The
Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which
furnish constant amusement to those inclined to recreate in fishing.

THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA
is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably
might be improved by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste.
There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor
would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionally during the
sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the
rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low
rental is 1,550/, a year ; but it is quite manifest that

item the tram road should ensue, as he was paid le certain sum br
the parties who had constructed this tram road. He trusted that
under these circumstances the Committee would not entertain for a
moment this petition. It was a fact that Parliamentary Committee*
bad not allowed compensation to canal companies for injury
done to their property in this way. If it should so happen that any
portion of the petitioner's property was invaded by this railway
liberal compensation would be given. The other branches would
yield greataccommodation to the district through which they would
pass, and a further accommodation would be afforded to Durham.
He trusted, in conclusion, that, without trespassing at any consider-
able length on the time of the Committee, that he should obtain his
Bill.

Mr. Harrison (engineer of the line), was then examined as to the
advantages of the line, to which hebore testimony.
Mr. R. Nicholson, of Newcastle, engineer, corroborated Mr. Har-
rison's statement as far as regarded his neighbourhood.
Mr. Hynde, M.P., was also examined, and stated that the line
would be very beneficial to Newcastle.
After hearing some observations from counsel in support of the
petition against the Bin,
The Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved,
with the exception of the branch from Fenchurch to Halton.

FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ITS NEVER-ENDING DE-
LIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF

" THOUGH LAST NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE

ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE
VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON
LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS
NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH
WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE.
_M R. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica-
tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the oth
of July, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trus-
tees for absolute sale, one of
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.

And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins,
without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he ap-
proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by
which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and
deeply-read cortimunity is alone to be found in the liberty the com-
poser will take With authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be
a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale
Is no mean authority, and with this, and a few Introductory facts, the
herculean task must ho approached.

THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES
are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since

Its classic front

The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated
about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is
felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the corn-
poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt
to do it justice—it is indeed

line, which is proposed to ran from a point on the Solway
Firth. near to Kirkcudbright, through New Galloway, Cambium.
and Dalmellington, to the port of Ayr, was then proceeded with.
There are several petitioning landowners against the Bill, and the
Glasgow and Belfast Union Company also opposes the project, on the
ground that it competes with their line at the Ayr termination.
blr. Sergeant Bellasts and Mr. Calvert appeared for the pe-
titioners.

Mr. PATTEN opened the else on behalf of the promoters. He
stated that the line was fifty-eight miles in length, and was proposed
to connect the Solway Firth at Baicarry Bay with the Firth of Clyde
at Ayr, so as to open up one of the best mineral districts in
Scotland.

Mr. Williamson, mining engineer, deposed as to the mineral field
along the route of the line. It was called the Dalmellington Coal-
Field, and commenced at Patua. It abounded id coal, limestone,
and ironstone. The line passed seven miles through the field.
There were large quantities of blackband ironstone, which in many
places rose to the surface. The railway would be of great service
in affording outlets to the minerals.

GROUP XIII.

This Committee met to-day at one o'clock, Sir William Clay in
the chair.

GLASGOW, DITIVIPRIMS, AND CARLISLE.
Mr. MARTIN having intimated that the small branch of the North
British (Carlisle Extension scheme to Canobie) would, no doubt, be
made so as to connect with the Dumfries scheme, with the consent
of the proprietors, and without the interference of Parliament,
The Committee proceeded to consider the postponed clauses of the
NITESDALE LINE.

An argument of some length took place between the Learned
Counsel as to a clause affixing the conditions on which the Dumfries
Comp ,ny should be allowed to run over the Caledonian line from the
point of junction of the two lines to Carlisle. It resulted in the clause
being withdrawn, as it was intimated that no doubt hereafter a satis-
factory arrangement on the matter would be come to between the
two companies, and that in the meantime the Railway Companies
Clauses Consolidation Act (Scotland) would provide for the Caledo-
nian line being used by the Dumfries Company on the payment of
the regular tolls.
The other clauses were then disposed of with some unimportant
amendments; and the Chairman was instructed to report the Bill to
the House.

timately acquainted with the subject. Mr. Scott said in
his evidence that he should decidedly object to any
thoroughfare canal like this being converted into a railway,
and he instanced this canal at the same time. This, in
that gentleman's opinion, was the best canal in tte kingdom, and yet
they were now called upon to destroy t. It had a descending lockage
the whole way from Birmingham to Live: pool. If this Bill were
sanctioned the iron grasp of the monopolizing London and Birming-
ham and Manchester and Birmingham Companies would be extended
and made stronger.
The Learned Counsel had not concluded his case when the Com-
mittee rose, the Chairman having announced that they would re-
assemble at twelve o'clock to-morrow.
