DUBLIN, DEC. 10.—STATE OF TIPPERARY.—The
northern division of Tipperary
.is daily becoming more
disorganised by agrarian combinations. The accounts
received this morning are truly disheartening, and show
a daring and desperation on the part the persons en-
gaged in those confederacies, which prove how deeply-
seated is the source of the evil in the social system.
There appears to be a total alienation between the owners
and occupiers of the soil, and the law is altogether pa-
ralysed. Twelve or Ofteen years ago the north
division had been comparatively tranquil, whilst the
southern portion of the country had been in a state
bordering upon insurrection. Within that interval,
North Tipperary has become the focus of disturbances,
whilst the southern riding has been, to a great extent,
tranquillised. This change and its causes were noticed
and accounted for by Baron Pennefather, in a re-
markable address delivered by that learned and ex-
cellent judge at the last assizes of the southern riding,
in which he is the owner of an extensive estate.
That property has been, in the hands of its
former proprietors, " a field of blood ;" but by a total
change of system—by the practice of kindness and for-
bearence towards the tenantry—by treating them as
human beings, sympathising for their wants, and en-
couraging and rewarding their industry, Baron Penne-
father rendered his estate a pattern for order and tran-
quillity to the surrounding district. The landlords of the
south have, many of them, improved their system, and
the southern riding has ceased to be the scene of con-
stant violence and outrage.
It is some such remedy as this that the north riding,
now so frightfully disturbed, requires, and not martial
law or insurrection Acts, which have been unavailingly
tried for fifty years past, never producing a remedy ;
but, en the contrary, always aggravating the disease. At
this moment the police surveillance in North Tipperary
could scarcely be exceeded under a coercion Act, yet
such terrible proceedings occur as the following, detailed
by the Tipperary Vindicator, a moderate and intelli-
gent journal, published in Nenagh :
" ATTACK ON A POLICE PATROL.—It may not be
generally known at a distance that the custom of police
patrols at night, throughout a very wide district of
country, is general in many parts of Tipperary, par-
ticularly in the baronies of Upper and Lower Or-
mond, Owney, and Arra, Ikerrin, Ellogarty, and
Killnernanagh. This custom has been observed for
a considerable period, and even during the day on
certain occasions, particularly during certain hours on
Sunday, patrols are everywhere out, and the coun-
try, in fact, under a police surveillance, as strict, as
rigid, and as vigilant, as though an insurrection Act were
in active existence, and those parts in question of Tippe-
rary proclaimed. Sunday evening, so early as six
o'clock, the Killoskully patrol, consisting of five sub-con-
stables, under Constable Patrick O'Hara, proceeded in
the direction of Ballynahinch, where they went into a
house in which they had reason, we believe, to suppose
that suspicious characters were at the time located.
Having left the house, they were fired at by a party of
Terry Alts' who lay in wait apparently for them, and who
exhibited a bold and reckless front. The police returned
the fire, when a skirmish took place between them and
their opponents, who again fired. One of the police,
named Anthony Cullen, in the act of firing a shot which
he discharged at one of the Terry Alts,' received a
ball, which penetrated the left arm, and lodged in the
right elbow. Shot succeeded shot on both sides, when
the police at length routed their assailants, having ar-
rested one of them, taken a pistol from another, and
found a gun and hat which were dropped by some of the
party in a field.
"HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR BORRISORA NE. —IR
addition to the above, we regret deeply to add the
account of a perpetration of a murder, under the most re-
volting circumstances, near to Borrisokane, on Mon-
day evening. The victim in this instance was a
man of the name of Hogan. He had been in Por-
tumna, we understand, during the day, disposing of
corn, and was returning homewards leading his horse
and car, when, at the gate of Kyle Park, he was waylaid
and shot dead. The weapon, it is thought, was a blun
derbuss, which must have been placed near the body
of the unfortunate man, as his clothes were torn by
the shot, and partially burned. Yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, James Carroll, Esq., county coroner, pro-
ceeded to the scene of this foul and barbarous murder,
and held an inquest on the remains of the murdered
man. We have heard that Hogan was one of the pro-
secutors for the beating of Dr. and Mrs. Hobbs, at the
last assizes for this county, for which two men of the
name of Hogan were sentenced—the one to seven and
the other to fourteen years' transportation. We have
heard also that since that period Hogan, the prosecutor,
has been protected by the police; but it would seem that
the police were absent at the time he was thus waylaid
and murdered."

• SUICIDE OF ALDERMAN HEARN.
In reference to this lamentable occurrence, the Evening
Mail says:—" We learn from a correspondent that the de-
ceased had been implicated in a case of defalcation to the
extent of fourteen to sixteen thousand pounds, which has
just been brought to light within the last few days."
The Cork Reporter has the following on the same sub-
ject :—" A respectable gentleman, a resident of Clonmel,
received a letter in this city this morning, acquainting
him with the particulars of the double suicide of a gen-
tleman of that town and his nephew, yesterday. It ap-
pears that the bodies of both were discovered in a
vat in a porter brewery, where they had lain for
four hours, of course both dead, with two letters directed
to friends, and a portion of their dresses in the apart-
ment. In anticipation of the particulars of this melan-
choly circumstance, which will no doubt be furnished
by the local journals, we learn that there had been men-
tion made of the deceased having been largely, and it is
presumed unsuccessfully, engaged in railway speculation,
which it was said there was little doubt was the direct
cause of the awful catastrophe. In the absence of further
confirmatory information, we withhold the names of the
parties, who are well known in commercial circles, but in
a later impression we expect to be able to give the details
circumstantially."
THE MILITIA.—The Banner of Ulster, in reference
to the current statements about the calling out of the
militia, says, " We understand, from pretty good autho-
rity, that it has been the intention of Government, for
some time past, to raise a certain number of militia regi-
ments by ballot, on low establishments, say 250 privates
for an eight-company corps, for the purpose of supplying
the regular army with volunteers, and doing away with
the depots, even though the war which we are now
threatened with had never been mooted."

WRECK OF A SCHOONER.--:1 Wednesday, by
means of the telegraphic signals between this and Holy-
head, we learned that on Monday night the schooner
Cheering, of Dover, was wrecked on West Hoyle Bank.
She was totally dismasted, and was lying on her beam-ends.
The Point of Ayr life-boat put off to her at twelve, noon,
yesterday, and the Hoylake life-boat at half-past twelve,
P.M. The crew had not been heard of.—Liverpool Courier.
RAILWAY FORGBRY.—Thursday information was
given, witk. a description of a person named Robert Thomp-
son, who, it is alleged, obtained by false pretence from Mr.
William Hitchins, of the Hall of Commerce, in Thread-
needle street, a banker's receipt for 1201, being the amount
of deposit on forty shares in the British and Irish United
Railway Company, and afterwards, by means of forging,
obtained scrip, Nos. 19,441 to 19,480. He is stated to be
about forty-four years of age, of florid complexion, with
black curly hair; is a bootmaker by trade, and formerly
lived at Croydon.
SHIPWRECK.—In a letter from Barra, dated Bth
tilt., we have the following :—"A vessel, the crew of which
are all Spaniards, was lately stranded near Alasdale. She is
imbedded in sand, so that 'the amount of injury suffered has
not yet been ascertained. The crew of the unfortunate vessel
were all saved by means of a rope cast, from her towards the
shore. Part of the cargo, which consists of fish, has been
landed, but cannot be sold until the Comptroller of Customs
arrive from Stornoway."—lnverness Courier.
