DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.
THE TRAGEDY AT DUNGANNON.
To the facts forwarded by telegraph yesterday
evening the papers of this morning add but little, if
any, additional information respecting the frightful
tragedy at Dungannon. A paper just come to hand
states that the wounds received by Mr. Mathew,
the sub-inspector, have proved mortal, but this re-

port requires confirmation. The name of the mur-
dered constable was M'Cielland, and not Matthews,
as mentioned in the first accounts. Sub-inspector
Mathew was quite a young man, and had not long
left the depot in the Phoenix-park upon his appoint-
ment to Dungannon. One of the Dublin papers of
td-day gives an account of the tragedy from a cor-
respondent in the town of Moy. but it is quite in-
correct in all the leading details.

THE MURDER IN WESTMEATH.
The following additional particulars are givetibi
the correspondent of the Express :
" ATHLONE, Tuesday.—An inquest was held yes-
terday before 'l'. It Fetherston, Esq., coroner far
the county of Westmeath, on the body of Laurence
Kelly, who was so brutally murdered in his own
house on Saturday last. The body presented a frigbt-
ful appearance, the skull being literally torn open
by the slugs. Sonic witnesses were examined, when
a verdict of wilful murder against some persons un-
known was returned by the jury. The only, parti-
culars ascertained in addition to those contained in
my despatch of yesterday were, that the deceased
had taken a small farm (under ten acres) from
which some persons had been dispossessed, and had
only lately entered into possession. This was, no:
fortunately, quite sufficient to make him a merlon
man in his locality, where the atrocious Riband
system prevails to a fearful extent. It appears
that a male servant was in the house at the time
of the murder, as well as the woman who gave
the deceased his dinner just before the shot was
fired. Neither of these persons looked out or made
any exertion to discover the assassin. The consta-
bulary were quickly in attendance, and four par-
sons were in custody yesterday on suspicioh, await"
lag the inquest. One of those was a brother of the
deceased, who was arrested because the police found
in his house a gun which had been lately dischared•
There was no evidence, however, to implicate any
of these persons, and they were discharged after
the inquest had terminated. The deceased was un-
married, and a man in thriving circumstances. It
is to be hoped the perpetrators of this fearful crim•
may be yet discovered.
SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE.

The following graphic sketch of the Cork demon'
stration is abridged from the Constitution of yester'
day :
A monster meeting was held in the Court-house,
Cork, on Monday, for the purpose of enabling the
Roman Catholics of Cork to give expression to their
feelings on the present situation of the Roman Nu'
tiff. The hour for holding the meeting was twelve
o'clock, but the building was crammed for near',
an hour previously by an immense mass of the,
populace. In the body of the court were some °I
the more respectable Roman Catholics ; but it wall
remarked that some of the most influential page,
of that religion were absent.
The chair was taken by the Roman Catholic
Bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Delany, who opened the
proceedings by explaining the object of the meet-
ing, to express the feelings of the Roman Catholics
of Ireland on the present circumstances of the Fri
(Cheers.) The last occasion on which he presi el
at a meeting in that Court-house was upwards
10 years since, on the occasion of the Pope's ev'.
at 'Gaeta. On that occasion the people of Cory
came forward and expressed their sympathy Wit!
the Pontiff in his exile, and he (the Bishop) W 0
rejoiced to see that they had not lost one particlee
of their religious enthusiasm for the head of til
Church. (Hear, hear, and applause.)
Mr. John Nicholas Murphy, in a speech of great
length, proposed the first resolution, which state('
that the Supreme Pontiff, the successor of St. peter'
being divinely appointed for the spiritual gever,tl;
meat of the Catholic Church throughout tuf
world, requires for the full and free discharge !I
its exalted duties complete personal and polite'
independence.
Mr. F. Lyons seconded the resolution.
Mr. J. F. Maguire proposed the next reselit;
tion,—' That the independence of the Pope was be
preserved by the Supreme Pontiff exercising 001
reign power as a temporal prince, and that saes
sovereignty, devoted as it had been to the noble°
purposes of religion and humanify for more tbn
1,000 years, should be held sacred in the estimat,lo
of every Catholic people, and preserved invieleof
from all aggression." At the close of a speech
considerable length, ahe said,—Who would d, for
that the tempora sovereignty of the Pope W.
the advantage of religion, morality, arts, and ell.
lisation ? Rome had been the cradle of the el P-0,1,.

Rev. Canon Falvey seconded the resolutions,;oo,
Rev. Dean Murphy proposed the third resoltbe
which stated that the storms which now ass6l,uiea
