Royal: • The noble bride and bridegroonr remain at

• • .THE•LATE ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.
The Don. journal, received this morning, says :
We hive learned that Mr. Nixon has been pro-
nounced out of danger, although_ at one fears
were entertained that the-wound would cause mor-
tification. • Drs; Eames and Brady continue in atten-
dance on the patient. No effort is being spared to
Mint lip.the intending assassins. Mr. Cruise, R-M.,
and some hundred additional constabulary are
still .. in. - the • district • where the • attempt was.
made: - This police force is supplementary of the
eonstabulary previously stationed there. We believe
that several .......s have been effected, but whether
the evidence against the parties be slight or grave,
it is impossible even to surmise. There was a
rumour in- this city -on- Monday that' a person had
turned Queen's 'evidence—against his fellows. No
copfirmatien of this i 4. .to be obtained. Several
Strange reports are prevalent in connection with
this barbarous attempt. attnurder. •They are hardly
worthy of notice; For instance, we need not con-
ceal the 048tkiide.tif :a, . rains:ink which assigns the
murder to causes totally different from agrarian
discontent, and gives reasons for such a view ; but
.it is not our province to -go further in the way of
explanation. Indeed, until the . result of the magis-
terial 'examination transpires; speculation is worse
than 'useless.- The narrative of the affair which ap-
peared in last Journal related all the material cir-
cumstances of the attack correctly. Mrs. Nixon's
state of health was such as. to render the she
experienced' More than ordinarily distressing." The
correspendent, of Saunders's News Letter, writing
froth the neighbourhood of the outrage,- states
that there is a report current that the Riband
fraternity are determined to shoot every, one who
was summoned to•LOndon and gave el/dente which
so fully exposed' the .filsehood of the priests' ap-
peal. ...There was no notice given to Mr. Nixon
which might have put him on his guard. His mur-
der'was' fixed, and nothing less would do. His car-
riage 'is ' a- low-four-wheeled one, . with gluss . doors,
glass sides. the.s.eat next the horse, and glass front.

PULPIT _DENUNCIATION OF RIBANDISNI.
- An influential Roman • Catholic clergyman, the
Very Rev, Dean. Kieran, of Dundalk,- has just set
a good example for the imitation of his reverend
brethren of,all degrees. On Sunday. last, from the
_p4pit.of his cathedral and in thenresence of a fall
congregation, he boldly denonnemithevile Riband
conspiracy, the existence of which; ifthe Nation be
good thith.ority, is at present' as great a fact as it
was'l9 y.en.rs .back, .when its branches took root in:
half the counties of Ulster, and more partially in;
other parts of Ireland The syStein (said. Dean
Kieran); lvas•at once an outrage on religion and -a
foul blot` 'on civilisation. It converted men into
niuraeiei7s, perjurersinto enemies alike of God
and roan . He. hoped his voice would reach the victinis
of a terrible.and wicked delusion. He would not
be deterred-from doing his duty.' Unless the com-
bination were at oncelbrOken up he would expose
thenl
naes. ot.Ull guilty parties that might come to
his knowledge, and, call on their employers to dis-
'thiss them from• their service: Drunkenness. was a
fertile propagator of Ribandism. Whonnien's bad
passions were excited theh they. became the :prey
low publicans, who were:zealou.s: agents in any
cause, however. obnoxious to religion or morals,
which would. bring them. customers. The Very
Rev. Dean 'then said he was so impressed with the
conviction that drunkenness, was a'prolific source

In coiniiiion with the alleged spread of the
Riband conspirtiey a Conservative paper published
in Kerry (the 'Breniv 'Post)
~ has the following
paragraph :—""Thathanefiii Conspiracy; Riban dism,
has; . regret . crept - into our county,
hitherto so free from, -agrarian- crime. The Rev.
Jolm- O'Sullivan; -in Kenmare; • and the Rev. Mr.
WDonnell, in Listowel, have denounced the system
from their, altars within the present month, and
warned their flocks against, the evil-disposed par-
ties who are swearing in Ribandmen in those -
localities.
A temperate Liberaijournar(the nalee Chronicle)
alluding.to statement.. published. in. _the Dub/in
Jlcti(regarding the existence -of seditiouS societies
in Bantry, adds these particulars :--", We have
been aware for more than arrionth that the Phcenii.

.t-reet, and other parts of the county of Cork. We
have, been aware, too, that the agents of the society
have been at Work in 'Kenmare, and even in Kil-

. . i larney-. 'lndeed; it s' now a month since we re-
ceived-authentic information that the .Ven. Arch-
deUeon CeBullivan had, at three successive masses
in one day, denounced-the nascent system-from the
altar, and warned the people against joining any
secret confederacy,' which could only end in dis-
colnfifurd andlietrayak Aware, however, that the
Lieutenant ofthis . eounty,.the. Right . Hon.. H. A:
Herbert, had, at the very inception of the move-
ment in this county,: been -put in. full possession, of
facts, that the Government and the police were on
the qui rive, and that_ the Right Rev. Dr. ;Moriarty
and the Romish Clergy, 'not .alone. in Killarney,
but throughout the diocese, had applied themselves
with energy and success to prevent the progress of
infection; should zany. portion of our 'peaceable and
shrewd Reasantry and artisans be inoculated, we
deemed it . inlpxudent to disturb the - minds of
timid men and nervous women by a prema-
ture revelation, and- assured that the ' movement,'
as it has ' been - euphonised, would" die a natural
death in a few.ononths at. furthest. .As re-
gards this coinityw the ' snake' is - not merely
' scotched,'. but' ' killed.' In K-enmare. the charac-
teristic vigour and promptitude of the Ven. Arch-
deacon USUlliyan have dealt it a deathblow, while
some three *or ****** feoliSh young persons in Killar-
ney, who. mod. nigh fallen into- the snare laid- for
-them; have been -brought to their senses. We have
authority forstating that Listowel is perfectly free
from the ContagiOn,thengh-it ' is 'quite true, as the
Kerry,lV.qstates,,. that the excellent Roman- Ca-
tholic clergyman of that town, the Rev. M. -J.
M'Donnell; addressed his flock on the subject. It
was towarn Themihrrwever,-against-some suspicious'
character' who .had- appeared in that neighbour.:

ephemeral escapade.has. nothing of a Riband cha-
racter about it, properly so called:"'
