THE INQUEST AT BALLINHASSIG.

The inquiry was resumed on Monday (yesterday) morning.
when the examination of witnesses on the part of the police was
cont inued.

Thomas Hornibrook, examined by Mr. SCANNELL—I am
clerk of Ballinahoy church, and keep:a school at Tulig. lly
house commands a view of the cross and dispensary. I was
standing at the front of my house about eight o'clock on the
evening of the fair day. I saw a large crowd of persons about the
fair gap to the dispensary and all about. I think there were
hundreds there, I would say over a hundred, and per-
haps nearly two hundred. There was a great deal of
noise, agitation, and bustle. I heard the word " bouile" come
from the crowd. The crowd appeared to be moving towards
the dispensary. I had a view of the garden behind the dispen-
sary. I saw a good many persons getting into it. There were
at the same time persons in front. I afterwards heard a shot
fired. The crowd increased. I heard a second shot fired;
and on hearing that I observed a great press from the front
to the back of the dispensary. They began to disperse
considerably, and in the course of a few minutes
there was scarcely any person to be seen. There
was a third shot then. I could not see the roof of the back of
the dispensary. I saw the police afterwards come out of the
dispensary. When they, were leaving the place I saw a rush of
persons from the back of the dispensary, and from the Five-
mile-bridge-road. They rushed in the direction of Callaghan's
house. That was the direction in which the police retreated.
They were immediately after the police. The people made use
of some expression, but from the noise I could not understand
it. It w- s something like "run." I suppose there were from
thirty to fifty persons in that crowd.

This witness was under examination when the last account
left.

THE REV. Ma. NEW MAN.—The Dublin Evening Post
says, " We are given to understand, from what we consider un-
exelitionable authority, that the Rev. J. Newman is on the
point of entering into • the holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic
Church.' The effect, no doubt, will be considerable."

DEATH OF THE HoN. E. A. LAMBART, 65YR REGIMENT,
SON OF THE LATE EARL OF CAVAN.—This lamentable
event took place yesterday evening at six o'clock, leaving a
youthful family to deplore his loss.
WOUNDINGI OF THE SENTRY AT THE PARK.—We un-
derstand that circumstances transpired yesterday giving a clue
to the mysterious firing at the soldier of the 44th regiment,
who was on duty at the Viceregal Lodge A pistol recently
discharged was found concealed at some little distance from
the pace where the soldier had been on duty, and it is
the belief of those likely to be best informed on the subject, the
man wounded himself in order to procure a pension and his
discharge, and did not calculate the injuries would be so serious
as to lead to the amputation of his hand.—Saunders's New.
Letter.

SILLY GOSSIP.—We are enabled to give the most decided
contradiction to a paragraph, originating, by the way, in an
Orange journal, of a union between a personage of the highest
rank in the kingdom and a lady fair.
