DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.
TrIE KILKENNY DISTURBANCES.

The prompt measures taken by the authorities have effec-
tually suppressed the riots at this place, and the latest ac-
counts from it state that such of the obnoxious machines as
were left uninjured are in full operation. Had their owners
displayed the slightest symptoms of yielding to the mob, the
result would have been very different. Several of the large
farmers have, it is said, entered into a defensive combina-
tion, and expressed their resolution to aid each other in any
attack that may be made on their property. With such a
force of military and police as are now in Kilkenny, however,.
an opportunity of currying out their determination is not
likely to occur. In order to show the people the folly of
their conduct, several gentlemen—and among them a
magistrate—have got down new reaping mcchines from.
Dublin, and on the land of Mr. Howi.zon, who was so brutally.
illused by the mob, three more, procured from a distance,'
are cutting his crops. The rioters, although openly afraid
to make any resistance, are, it seems, covertly endeavouring
to annoy the farmers. At Knocktopber, yesterday, a great
panic prevailed, in consequence of 10 men having gone at one
o'clock in the morning to the house of a blacksmith named
Wm. Hackett, residing at Ballyreddin, and having called
him up, charged him not to mend reaping machines on pain
of having his bellowa wit! other tools destroyed. One of the
party wanted to administer an oath to him, but the others
said that the warning given would suffice. They visited
the forge, but, strange to say, altkoug,ll there was a reaping
machine there to receive repairs, they did no injury of any
kind.

In continuation of its last report relative to the disturb-
ances, the Kilkenny Moderator says :—" Reaping ma-
chines have been at full work in various parts of our county
throughout the week, and we are glad to say that no
attempt whatever has been made to injure them er molest
the persons engaged in connection with them. Mr. Holo-
ban had a machine at work at Knocktopher, and there was
another in full eperation at Floodhall on Tuesday. Mr.
Hamilton, J.P., continued to work his, notwithstanding
that the police had been withdrawn from Inistioge to
Thomastown for some time ; but his men had armed them-
selves, and declared their determination to protect it with
their lives. The reapers assembled at Thornastown to offer
themselves for hire, having threatened to go out and break
the machine. In the district between Freshford and Johns-
town, the High Sheriff, Mr. Howard St. George, bad a
reaping machine working last week, without any objection
being made in the locality ; and this week Mr. Lyster,J.P.,
had his machine in operation at Cascade. Mr. Lyster de-
clared his intention of acting vigorously for putting down
any attempt to Interfere with the tpe of these machines, if
attempted in his neighbourhood; and the farmers of the
dis fief, amongst whom two or three machines had been
provided to be hired out in turn, are determined to aid
each other to repel any attack of ie kind. Thus by an ex-
hibition of resolute feeling on the part of the farmers, backed
by the presence of a sufficient military force tosustain them in
that resolution, the deluded peasantry must be very soon con-
vinced of the folly of supposing they can prevent the general
introduction and use of any improved implement of agricul-
ture.

" We are glad to be able to state that Mr. Howison was so
far recovered from the effects of his injuries on Wednesday,
as to be able to come into town to take the preliminary
steps for recovering, by presentment on the barony of Shil-
lelogher, compensation for the damage done to his property.
Mr. Walsh, Outratb, has also lodged his claim with the
secretary of the grand jury. The_latter only seeks compen-
sation to the amount of £3l, the actual value of the reaping
machine broken, as be sustained no other injury; Mr.
Howison's claim, however, is £63 75., as besides the value of
the machine, he had his corn trampled down and two guns
broken.

" A detachment of the 2d battalion 14th Regiment, com-
prising all the effective men which could be afforded, came
in from Waterford by Ihe mid-day train. They were all
to have come the night before, and accommodation was
prepared for them at the barracks, but the railway
company had not received an intimation to have arrange-
ments made till so late an hour that the commanding
officer thought it better to detain the men in Waterford till
next morning, as there was no immediate necessity for their
presence here. On Thursday evening, on the requisition of
Mr. R. Curtis, county inspector, the county inspector of
Carlow sent here a head constable and 20 men to strengthen
the local force; and a head constable and 20 men from the
South Riding of Tipperary were also temporarily trans-
ferred to this county, and told off to strengthen the stations
in the Johnstown and Freshford districts. The preparations
made in those districts during the past few days, where an
attack on the several reaping machines in possession of
farmers was fully expected, were made by the active and
truly efficient resident magistrate, Mr. J. A. Kirwan, in
person ; and Sub-Inspector Burke had stationed 20 addi-
tional policemen at Freshford, and 15 at Clomanto, to be
prepared for any service that might be required. everal
of the rioters have been sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment."

SYMPTOMS OF COMBINATION IN Tun QUEEN'S COUNTY.

The illegal conduct of the mob at liiikenny is already
beginning to exercise a mischievous influence upon other
parts of the country. A despatch from the Queen's county,
Just received, conveys the following intelligence :—" At
three o'clock yesterday Mr. Joseph Lyons, J.P., lodged an
information before a brother magistrate, to the effect that
be believed an attack would b 3 made on his property at
Moyanna, where he had a reaping machine at work at the
time. In - this extremity 12 policemen were at once de-
spatched to Moyanna, but Mr. Lyons feared that his machine
would be destroyed before the police could arrive. Jf his
ferns were not realised, however, the police were to remain
at his farm until hi.; crops were Cu'."

REMOVAL OF THE " TABLET" TO LONDON.

The expatriation of this unfortunate organ of Lltramon-
tanism is announced to-day in its leading columns. The
event is thus recorded:—" We have to announce to our
readers that the arrangements for the transference of the
Tablet to London are nearly completed, and that our first
publication in the metropolis will probably be in the first
or second week of September. Of course due notice will
be given befirehand of the new address, to which all letters
and publications must be sent. The -amount of support
alrea'ty received is most encouraging—still more so are
the promises which have been made. As to these last we
would only remark that the sooner our Mends pat into
execution the kind intentions which they have expressed
the greater will be the benefit conferred."

THE LAST THROES OP THE TENANT-RIGHT AGITATION.

The tenant-tight agitators' in despair at the fruitlcs,ness
of their efforts, have resolved to hold a meeting in Dublin
next week to map out the policy they are to pursue (luring
next session. In anticipation of this gatherinc, the Tablet
says :—" The practical question is—What is to be done? Is
there any hope of carrying the bill of the League, or any
bill embodying the principles of tenant-jus'ice ? We cer-
tainly see no hope of carrying it while those who are en-
trusted with the duty of pressing it on a hostile Government
and Lr.•gisl store themselves despair of its success. In our
humble judgment, it wale bet,er that the struggle for
tenant-justice should now cease absolutely than that it
should be allowed to dwindle down into a mere begging
petition to any Minister, whether Tory or Whig."
The Tablet then goes on to rebuke the vacillating con-
duct of the "independent Opposition" since the present
Government came into power, and thus concludes :—" We
are under no obligations to the Tories any more than to the
Whigs. It is now that the policy of independent opposition
is malty on its trial, and if it break down, as against a
Tory Government, the country will feel that it has been he-
fooled, and that a monstrous and absurd folly, if not a poli-
tical fraud, has been perpetrated. This may be considered
strong language, but it is really time to call things by their
right names, and the present writer freely takes the respon-
sibility of giving public and timely expression to what will
soon be, if it is not already, the opinion and feeling of the
whole country."
It is almost certain that the meeting of next week will
pronounce war upon the Cabinet unless its demands are
recognised by Lord Derby.
