" Trines—TWELVE PERSONS KILLED !
" Again have we to record the shocking fact of human
blood being profusely shed to perpetuate the enormities of
the Protestant Church —we will not disgrace religion by
coupling so divine a term with the appalling fact we have
now to record, but which is only similar to bye-gone
transactions, and, we fear, but the prelude to other
bloodier scenes. On Monday morning, a body of thirty
police, under the command of Chief Constable Burke,
proceeded to post notices for the payment of the arrears of
tithe for 1831, in the parish of Aglish, belonging to the
Rev. Mr. Newport, near Mooncoin, in this countti•. A
great crowd, as is customary, attended, and kept conti-
nu illy increasing for some time. Insulting language was
used, as it is said, towards the police—such as
" Remember Carrickshock !" " Remember Gibbons !"
This will be another Carrickshock !" were repeatedly
used, and constable Burke as repeatedly cautioned the
people against committing any violence, and took precau-
ions to have his men prepared for an attack, at the same
time desiring them on no account to fire, unless he would
distinctly order them to do so. After sonic time the
neighbouring chapel bell was heard to ring, the noise and
insulting language increased, and the people went within
twenty yards of the police, and beckoned those more dis-
tant to approach them. It is not asserted that the people
were arinel—it is not said that a stone was thrown

it is not hinted that any further symptoms of
an attack than those we have stated were apparent ;
but those were considered so sufficiently decided,
that Captain Burke now thought it time to act.
lie drew out his watch, and told the people to disperse
in ten minutes or he would fire on them. This warning
was unattended to. The noise continued, but it is not
asserted that to the last moment any attack was made.
During the elapsing of the ten minutes, Captain Burke
made his men prime and load, and take up a proper
position, in divisions, on an eminence hard by; and
immediately afterwards ordered one division to open an
independent fire on the people in their front. The
panic-stricken crowd instantly fled, and when it was
deemed advisable to put a stop to the firing of
the police, it was found that twelve persons Were
shot dead, and about thirty wounded, independent of
those, who, we suppose, were wounded, but able to fly
front the field. These are the leading facts, as stated by
those who could not be expected to say any thing in vin-
dication of the crowd of people who assembled ; and whe-
ther the hostile demonstrations made by them were such
as to render the act of firing on them necessity, is a mat-
ter of which, until the circumstances be further developed,
we must leave every ma❑ to judge for himself. We have
as yet heard no account of the transaction front any per-
son favourable to the popular side, and the distance (about
twenty-five miles) made it impossible that after the hour
we heard of the transaction, we could send a person to
attend the inquest, the result of which we have not
learned."

COLOSSAL STRENGTH.—The French army
numbers in its ranks an athletic personage, whose prodi-
gious strength might seem to revive the miracles of Sam-
sort, or the astonishing labours of HERCULES. Hitherto
this strength has not found objects worthy of it, and is
only exercised in stables and prisons; but let the oppor•
tunity present itself, and our enemies would have fine
sport. This new Gomax is a cuirassier of the Ist regi-
ment, and is named MaatirtEr.; he has an athletic form,
and is five feet seven inches in height. When he is angry
nothing can resist bins ; his hand can break iron as easily
as glass, or give a large horse a blow on the shoulder, and
place him just where he wishes him to be. One day, in
the month of last Jul!, he was ordered by his Lieutenant
to attend to the horses newly arrived; he compl lined of
injustice, saying it was not his turn; his superior insisted,
and on his refusing ordered him into custody for four days
at the hall of the police. He at length, however, went
there quietly, but no sooner was the door locked than he
broke the iron bars and the d.ior to pieces, and was at
once at liberty. He was persuaded to moderation by some
of his comrades, and was, by order of the Lieutenant, con-
veyed to the prison of the corps. He broke out again,
however, with new fury, and destroyed all the camp beds,
and the bars of the window, whilst the wall and door
wets destroyed like the walls of Jericho. He was, of
course, again at liberty, but was, by order of the Lieu-
tenant, conveyed to a dungeon. Here he was compelled
to remain tranquil, in consequence of the injury done to
his hinds in demolishing the prison and the hall of police.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We are quite dull this morning for want of arrivals ;
❑ot even a ship letter has been received. Consequently
the report which prevailed at the closing of the Royal
Exchange, that Don Aliguel's troops had succeeded in
getting possession of Oporto, cannot be correct.
Halifax papers to the 18th September, received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, state that the
Bishop of Nova Scotia returned in the North Star from
his visit to Newfoundland.

They state from St. John's, Newfoundland, that a pro •
clamation has been published there for dividing the Colony
into nine electorial districts.
