__—
THE TIPPERARY FOOD RIOTS.
Artut 19.—The Tipperary men have practically
established the most efficacious means for bringing out the
local gentry with soothing speeches and plenty of money for
the employment of the idle but industrious sufferers by the
potato disease. The outrages—the burglaries in the corn
stores, and robberies of provisions committed on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday last, in Clenmel and Carrick-on-
Suir, have stimulated the relief committees to increased exer-
tions, and the result has been complete success. Upwards cf
1,0001. were contributed in Clonmel alone—several hundred
labourers are employed at good wages ; and contracts for
works in that town, to the amount of 23,000/., appear adver-
tised in the Tipperary Free Press of yesterday. In Carrick-
on Suir order was restored, an unequivocal proof that those
who (et'. rout ribut, will d 6 so, and at once. The gentry in
the several di-ericts where scarcity is undeniable should be
warned in time of the occurrences in those Tipperary towns.
Let them provide against the worst. 'Tis idle now to at-
tempt to prove that which all admit—that Sir Robert Peel
has aroused a spirit which will not easily be allayed—that
many places will hoist the flag of " bread or blood," which
have hitherto remained quiet in far more distressing periods.
The probability is that a considerable time will elapse ere the
peasantry be content with the dietary of the past or previous
good potato years.
DUNGA 'MAN.—An extraordinary presentment sessions was
held in this town. Amongst the magistrates present were
the Earl of Huntington, Lord Stewart de Decies, Sir H. W.
Barron, Sir Nugent Humble, W. V. Stewart, Esq., M.P.,
&c. Presentments to the amount of 7,283/. were agreed to.
TRAMORE. —A correspondent of the Waterford Chronicle,
writing from Tramore, thus begins his letter:—" Our own
little beautiful town shows evident symptoms of growing
prosperity. Despite black potato commissioners and stark
starvation, we are, thanks to the fates, on the march of im-
provement"

- Lord Glengall was appointed Vice-Lieutenant of Tippe-
raryh in the absence of Lord Donoug ore,
Mint, but the latter has returned to K countynouclklofty lieute-
from Dublin.
Cor.mtatwa.—ln compliance with the request of the
starving commissioners at Dublin Castle, a meeting was
held In Coleraine on Wednesday, for the purpose of appoint-
ing a'relief committee for
that town.
Several gentlemen delivered their sentiments on the sub-
ject of the apprehended. scarcity; some said there was not
more
than the ordinary amount of distress in that locality;
others that distress prevailed to a considerable extent.
G. C. Knox, Esq., J. P., admitted that from the high price
of potatoes the poor must be badly off, but they had no evi-
dence of any starvation.
Mr. Lawrence asked how many inmates there were in the
workhouse.
Dr. Babington replied, only 245, while the house was ca-
pable of holding 700 In June, the first year the house was
opt ned, there were 100 more on the books than at present,
and there was nothing to prevent any one in distress from
now obtaining admittance.
A committee was formed, and the meeting separated.
The Coley aine Chronicle, received to-day, says The
committee met yesterday in the commissioners' room ; there
was a very full attendance, including three magistrates,
four clergymen—one Protestant., one Presbyterian, and two
Roman Catholics ; three medical men, two of whom held
medical appointments in connexion with the union poor-
house, the Coleraine dispensary, and the fever hospital; and
several of the town commissioners. Both at the
state of
public
meeting and the meeting of committee the present
the labouring classes, as dependent upon the price of food and
labour, was very fully discussed, and we rejoice to find, from
the unanimous testimony of all parties competent to form an
opinion upon the subject, that the state of theo worse than in
poor in Cole-
rainet
and its immediate neighbourhood is not
average years, while for the present, at least, no serious ap-
prehension of a scarcity need be entertained. We fully agree
with the committee, that the effect of any present attempt to interfere with the regular course of industry would be worse
than useless ; we would strenuously recommend the collec-
tion of a fund for the purpose of being expended in the em-
ployment, and in the employment only, of the labouring
classes during the summer months."
Government has sent 5001. to the poor relief fund at Clonmel.
The Tralee new ship-canal is now open for merchant ves-
sels; the first which entered was the schooner Defiance, of
Milford.
The Carlow paper says, that though provisions are high in
that market, there is no apparent want among the labouring
classes, vast numbers being employed on the railway.
There are 639 labourers now employed by the relief com-
mittee of Limerick.
GALWAY.—The Mercury of yesterday congratulates the
people of Galway on their good conduct, applauds the com-
mittee for its exertions, and goes on to say—" Most sincerely
do we rejoice to learn that the public works, the canal from
Lough Corrib to the sea—the breakwater to Multon island
from Fairhill—and the extension of the qaay to Nimrno's
Pier, are to be immediately commenced."
The building of the new college in Galway will be com-
menced early in the ensuing month. The Roman Catholic
Bishop of Galwayhas subscribed 20/. ; the Very Rev. Warder
Daly, 50i.; Dr. Kirwan, P.P., President of the Galway Col-
lege, 20/. ; and several other gentlemen sums varying from
101. to 20Z
Her Majesty steamer Dee has arrived at Galway with 110
tons of Indian corn. A cargo of oats has also been received
in that city, which is deemed a most remarkable fact, as oats
have generally passed from Galway outward bound.
Lord De Freyne has 550 men employed in his demesne,
'with the view of circulating wages.
LLMIMICK, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty's steamer Alban yes-
terday discharged a cargo of Indian corn meal into the Ord-
nance store ferry slip.
Her Majesty's steamer Myrmidon, Lieut. Jenkin, RN.,
which arrived in the Shannon on Thursday, from Cork, pro-
ceeded up the River Fergus, to be in communication with
the civil authorities for the protection of property.
Mr. Walker, Government engineer, and Mr. Richardson,
have arrived at Valentia, to ascertain its capabilities for a
Government packet station.
On Thursday several sacks of oatmeal, for the relief fund
at Brunee, were sent from this city under a military escort,
and this morning a quantity of oatmeal, ordered by Lord
Stanley's agent, John Bolton, Esq., was forwarded under a
similar military detachment, to the confines of Tipperary.
The market price of potatoes has advanced to 6%d. per
stone, which is 31 the stone over the price of this time
twelvemonth, and for an inferior article.
The price of new butter advanced yesteraay trom tsus to

OUTRAGES.
(From the Limerick Chronicle, April 18.)
Three countrymen returning from market attacked and
tle4perately beaten.
Ten sheep Killed in a field, and the carcases (all but the
heads) carried away.
Robbery of arms.
Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon is now stationed in the Fergus

The Rev. T. D. Gregg attended in person, accompanied by
a great number of followers, at the Consistorial Court of the
Archbishop, in Henrietta-street, on Thursday, to put in his
plea and answer to the Archbishop's citation.
The Court sat again yesterday, and Mr. Gregg's case hav-
ing been called on, the Rev. gentleman appeared and ap-
pointed Mr. Worthington as his proctor. The case stands
over till Saturday next.
CORK, SATURDAY.--The American packet-ship Camelia,
register 1,090 tons, Captain French, arrived in the harbour
yesterday, with a cargo (about 25,000 bushels) of Indian
corn and about 10,000 barrels of meal. The captain reports
having spoken, :on 13th instant, in lat. 50 25, long. 20 30,
the barque Courier, 71 days from Sierra Leone, leaky for
Cork or Falmouth. On the 14h instant, in lat. 50 30,
long.

bound to the eastward : on the same day spoke the brig
Pekin, bound to the westward, all well, and wished to be
reported. Off Cape Clear passed the barque Hero, bound nr
channeL
Lord Stanley has given 100/, towards the Poor Relief Fend
at Cashel. His Lordship is in receipt, we believe, of 20,0001.
a year from his Irish property, and for the last ten years there
has not been anything worth naming spent in Ireland. This
subscription is one-half per cent. upon one year's income.—
Cork Southern Reporter.
The Rev. Thomas Croke; Croom Castle, has purchased
60/. worth of oaten meal to be distributed gratis to his own
labourers during the summer_ This is an example of
generosity well worthy of imitation. May it stimulate others
to act similarly.
Cant.ow.—We are gratified to learn (says the Car/ow
Sentinel) that this county is much more free from fever at
preseht than at any former period during the last five years.
In the Carlow Fever Hospital, as compared with April, 1845,
the number is as 1 to 4, and only one death took place in the
hospital within five months. Thus, whatever
.may have
been the nature of the reports from other districts, we should
feel thankful to Providence for the healthy condition of the
population in the several towns of the county, where, owing
to their crowded state, the want of proper ventilation, and
the accumulation of filth for the purposes of manure, the
people are much more liable to fever than in the rural
districts.

MURDER.
The Limerick Chronicle says that John Joye was waylaid
and murdered at Cooga, between Doone and Cappamore, on
Sunday night, after quitting a public-house. J. Bennett.
EN, coroner, held an inquest on the body; verdict of
::_yuilful murder against Thomas Richardson, of Doone, and
Jranhge?ltional_ark," who have absconded. Deceased was a wood-
_ _ Lord Stanley's property.
On Tuesday night a house, the property of James Ken-
nedy, at Sallymount, nearAnnacotty, was maliciously burnt
to the ground. The inmates id an almost miraculous
escape from being
death. The cause assigned for
this outrage is, that Kenai

ORCHIDACE.E.—A choice and valuable collection of
orchidaceous plants were sold at the close of last week, by Messrs.
Stevens, at their auction rooms In King-street, Covent-garden.

distributed. The plants were in a remarkably healthy condition,

been gathered, in the latter part of last December, in the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 21.
(Sittings of Banco.)
READ V. TAIT.

Mr. KNOWLF.S moved for a new trial in this case, which
was tried at the late assizes at Northumberland, before Mr.
Justice Pattesen, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff,
on the ground of misdirection, the verdict being against
evidence. This was an action to recover damages alleged
to have been sustained from negligence on the part of
the servants of defendant in the management of his
vessel, by which plaintiff's vessel was run down.
The plea to the declaration was not guilty, and se-
condly, that the plaintiff was not possessed of any vessel
The circumstances out of which the case arose were these :
The plaintiff was the owner of a ship called the Providence,
and the defendant the owner of a vessel called the Virgil.
On the night of the collision the two vessels were off the
Lincolnshire coast, sailing in different directions. The Provi-
dence from the south to the north, and the Virgil from the north
to the south. The wind was westerly. According to rule in
such case the defendant's vessel should pass on the larboard
side, and at the trial it was sworn on behalf of the plaintiff
that defendant's vessel altered her course. The witnesses for
defendant said that the proper course had been kept, but
that the Providence had not come up in time, and did not
make the necessary tack till it was too late. The only wit-
nesses on both sides were the crews of both vessels.
The Learned Counsel read an affidavit from defendant's
attorney, in which he alleged that; an important witness, of
the name of Brown, was not at the trial; and if his evidence
were heard the verdict could not stand. Under all the cir-
cumstances, he thought the Court should have no objection
to grant him a rule.
The Coma. did not think that the Learned Counsel had
alleged sufficient grounds for disturbing the verdict.—Rule
refused.

FLETCHER Y. MARSHALL.
Mr. WATSON moved for a rule to show cause why a non-
suit should not be entered, or why a new trial should not be
had, or why judgment should not be arrested in this case,
which was tried at Liverpool, at the late assizes, before
Mr. Justice Coleridge, when a verdict was given for
the plaintiff. The declaration stated that the plain-
tiff, who was a schoolmaster at Manchester, had given
directions to defendant's sharebrokers, also of Manches-
ter, to purchase for him fifty scrip shares in the projected
Essex and Suffolk Railway. lhe defendant promised to do
so, on which plaintiff paid the money, but defendant did not
deliver the scrip. The plea was first non-assumpsit, and
secondly, that a sufficient time had not elapsed for
the delivery of the scrip before the suit was com-
menced. The Learned Counsel contended that from the
terms of the contract there was no such promise made as the
delivery of the scrip within a certain time, that due care
and diligence merely was promised to be used.—Rule granted.
MARSDEN V NEWMARSIT.
Mr. WATSON moved for a rule to show cause why a
verdict should not be entered for defendant, or a new
trial had in this case, which was tried before Mr.
Justice Coleridge, at the late assizes at Liverpool, when a
verdict was given for part of the demand to plaintiff; and for
the other part to the defendants. This was another railway
transaction, where the defendants (sharebrokers) were al-
leged not to use due care and diligence in the sale and dis-
position of certain shares the plaintiff held in the Leeds and
Thirsk Railway and the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway.
The plea was, first, non-assumpsit ; and, secondly, that the
defendants had not possession of the scrip in question, so as
to dispose of them.—Rule granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
On Monday afternoon Sergeant Brennan, of the G divi-
sion, accompanied by two of his men, apprehended John
Morris, a notorious character in the vicinity of Duck-lane,
in the act of coining. He was handcuffed, and the officers
were about removing hint, when they were suddenly at-
tacked by a formidable gang, said to be upwards of fifty in
number, who beat the police off and rescued the prisoner,
made his escape in the handcuffs, the sergeant being severely
wounded in the head, besides which his men received other
severe injuries. Encouraged by their success on this occa-
sion, and obviously with a desire to intimidate the officers
from visiting the courts and alleys in this neighbourhood,
where robberies with violence are nightly committed, the
thieves determined upon another attack upon the constables
and carried it into effect, but fortunately with a result
the reverse of that they had anticipated, five of them being
captured.

The names of the accused were John Dasison, Robert
Lawrence, John Wright, Richard Morris, John Smith. They
were ragged fellows, and all well-known thieves.
The circumstances of the case, as detailed in reference to
the last attack, are briefly these :—Police-constable John
Rounds,2lo B, was on duty at two o'clock yesterday morn-
ing in
Orchard-street, when, as he passed a soup shop,
Davison, who was standing on the threshold of the door,
suddenly, and without a word having been said on either
side, or anything having occurred to justify such an
act, came behind him and struck him a violent blow
on the jaw, which dislocated it, with a lancewood bludgeon,
resembling in appearance the spoke of a gig -wheel. The
fellow attempted to follow up his blow with a second, but
the constable receded a few steps, when Lawrence
suddenly made his appearance, but on the constable
springing his rattle, and other officers appearing in sight,
the fellows ran off. The police pursued them down
Duck-lane, and into New-court, where the defendants, from
the windows of a house there, attacked them with bricks
and missiles of every description, a female holding a light
out in order that their operations might be carried on with
better effect. The officers, who were repeatedly struck,
entered the house and captured Lawrence, Wright, Morris,
and Smith, who used language of the most threatening do
scription, and called out for pistols. After the officers had
secured them, they returned to the house in quest of Davison,
whom they heard, as they ascended the stairs, throw some
heavy piece of wood down, and found him in a room with
four bludgeons of the same formidable character as we have
described. Davison made treat resistance_ wi.d-led he had_ a
nun. or pistol, or some such thing, and added, coat "he
should like to serve them as he had done Brennan" (the ser-
geant of the G division).
Mr. Barfoot, an Inspector of the B division, asked for a
remand, in order that the sergeant and cons'ables who had
been attacked in the morning might attend, as he haC, no
doubt some of the accused were engaged in it.
Mr. BOND thought there could be but little doubt about
that, especially as regarded Davison, by what had fallen from
his own lips.

a week.

MILDAND RAILWAY.

The RIGHT REV. PRELATE drew the attention of their
Lordships to the la'e accident on the Brandling June
Lion Railway, on which occasion an engine drawing one
of the trains ran off the line, down the embankment,
and injured several persons, one woman severely. He
therefore wished to ask the Noble Lord, the President
of the Board of Trade, whether steps had been taken
to prevent persons living immediately contiguous to a
railway from receiving injury, or losing their lives by
such accidents ; and whether his attention had been
called to the particular subject of the accident by the
receipt of any report with respect to it ?
The Earl of DALIIOUSIE said an officer connected
with the Board of Trade had been dispatched to investigate
the cause of the accident to which the Right Rev. Pre-
late had referred, and whether it was possible to trace the
cause of it. The report of this office r had not yet been
received, but he expected it every hour. When he re-
ceived it he would lay it on the table of the House, ac-
cording to custom.
The Bishop of DURHAM said nothing could be
more satisfactory than the explanation of the Noble
Lord.

CHARITY TRUSTS BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition, numerously
signed, praying their Lordships not to sanction the Bill
introduced by his Noble Friend (the Lord Chancellor).
The Noble Lord did not, however, concur in the opinions
expressed by the petitioners, that the passing of the pro-
posed Bill would prove detrimental to the interests of
voluntary societies.
THE DISSOLUTION OF RAILWAYS.

The Earl of DALHOUSIE rose to give notice that,
in pursuance of the announcement made by her Majesty's

tended to propose applicable to all railway companies,
to which the order of postponement to the 27th of April

Ireland, and a deputation some short time ago waited on
the Lord-Lieutenant and represented the great hardships
which had arisen under the course of legislation with re-
spect to minor guilds, and they prayed that such guilds
might be abolished. A pronaiFe had been made, which
had been already so far carried into effect that a Bill was
prepared for the remedying of the grievance, and which
would i❑ two or three days from that time be introduced
before the House.

ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE IN IRELAND.
Mr. WYSE would wish to put a question to the Right
Hon. Baronet which was in some degree connected with
the previous questions from the Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber for Cork. He wished to know whether any measures
had been taken for the encouragement of public compe-
tition with respect to the plans for building the public
colleges, thus giving an impetus to the fine arts and the
architecture of Ireland ?

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the answer might
have more properly come from his Right Hon. Friend,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was more compe-
tent to reply to the question than he was. He believed,
however, that the site of only one of the colleges had
been determined upon, and in this case the architect had
been appointed.
THE HEROES OF THE PUNJAUB.

Mr. BAILLIE said that as a vote of public money had
been proposed by Government for the purpose of erect-
ing a monument to the memory of Sir Robert Sale, he
wished to know whether it was intended to grant a sinai
lar tribute to another officer of superior rank, who had
equally distinguished himself in Affghanistan, and who
had also fallen in the late successful campaign—he meant
the late Major-General Sir John M'Caskill ?
Sir R. PEEL said, I beg to state that, considering
the services, the high character, and the circumstances
attending the death of Sir John M'Caskill, it is my
intention to propose that the same tribute of respect be
paid to that lamented officer that the Government has
already submitted to the House in the case of Sir
Robert Sale.

OUTRAGES IN THE TOWN OF CARRICK-ON.

SUIR.

Mr. WYSE said that he collected from the public
papers, that on Wednesday last, outrages of a terrific
character had taken place in the town of Carrick-on -
Suir, and that the military were obliged to be called out.
Apprehensioas were entertained at Waterford that
they would be subjected to the same excesses.
He believed that these riots had been of a very serious
character, and he was happy to say that, from what he
had understood, the member& of the Catholic Church
had been most peaceable. He had been also informed
that serious apprehensions were entertained by the
members of that Church of the pernicious results that
were likely to arise from them, and he wished to know
the intentions of her Majesty's Government.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that from sources that were
open to all Hon. Members were aware that very serious
riots had occurred in Tipperary, but he was happy to
say that from information which had been received by
the Government during the last week these disturbances
had been entirely suppressed, and that measures had
been taken to prevent their recurrence.
