DEATH OF MAJOR GALLWEL
We regret to announce the death of Major Gallwey,
deputy inspector-general of the Irish constabulary,
which took place yesterday, at his residence, Barton
Lodge, Rathfarnham. lie had been attacked with
typhus fever three weeks since; but subsequently gastric
fever set in, and proved fatal. Major Gallwey, who was
a Roman Catholic, was a most admirable officer—efficient,
painstaking, and perfectly impartial in the discharge of
his duties. The Dublin Evening Post says—" Major
Gallwey had been promoted to the deputy inspector-
generalship about five years since, during the adminis-
tration of Lord Normanby, and his appointment was
one of the many highly honourable to the Whig
Government, and which contributed so much to create
popular confidence in the administration of justice."
STATE OF TIPPERARY.
The Tipperary papers, received this morning, thus
report progress :
TOONEVARA MEETING.—WC understand that this
meeting will be held about one o'clock to-morrow (Sun-
day), at which it is hoped that every friend to the peace
and well-being of society will attend. The Rev. John
Meagher, the respected parish priest, ever foremost in
the suppression of crime, and indefatigable in the per-
formance of his duties, will be present with his respected
curates, Res. Messrs. Molony and Burke. Several of
the gentry and farmers of the district have also inti-
mated their intention of attending. We believe that
much valuable information will be given as to the state
of the parish in reference to the land system, and the
causes of these outrages which we all deplore, and
which we must endeavour to suppress.— Tipperw 3/ Yin-
dicator.
ATTACK FOR FIRE-ARNS.-11EROIC CONDUCT OF A
YOUNG WOMAN.—A daring attack was made on the
night of Tuesday, by a gang of ruffians paid for dis-
turbing the public peace, on the house of a humble
but industrious, well-conducted man, of the name of
Flaherty, in the neighbouring parish of Monsea, and
within two or three miles of Nenagh. The intention
of the miscreants %sag to steal a gun of which they
were aware Flaherty was possessed. Having made an
entrance, they loudly demanded the prize for which
they sought. Much to their astonishment, they were
instantly met by defiance 1 A young woman, Mary
Flaherty, daughter of the owner of the lowly abode,
encountered the first of the ruffians who entered,
and resolutely declared that she was determined
to die before she would permit the contemplated rob-
bery. This, of course, did not prevent the ruffians from
persevering ; and one of them, in an endeavour to strike
the heroic girl down, failed, whilst she took up a milk-
pail that was near her, and fought most bravely, break-
ing it on the head of a villain, calling on her brother,
who was also in the house, to aid her ; and, after an
effectual resistance, in which she received several blows,
some of them of such a desperate character as to en-
danger her life, the miscreants were driven oft; unable to
accomplish their design. The young woman was brought
into Nenagh on Wednesday morning. She lies in a
very precarious condition, under the care of Dr. Kitson,.
Her conduct is the theme of universal praise.—lbid.
An atrocious outrage was perpetrated on Thursday
night, in the parish of Ballymackey. The house of an
industrious man of the name of Kennedy was fired into
by certain infamous miscreants, for what cause is un-
known. Three balls were lodged in the wall beside the
bed in which Kennedy and his wife lay.—lbid.
On Tuesday last, at dusk, a party of eight men, black-
ened, met the steward and workmen in the employment
of William Middleton. of Elm-hill, Esq., when returning
from work, near the village of Toomevara, and having
collared the steward, asked him for a man named Hogan,
for working (as they called it) under hire, or for any
other man daring to do so. Two of the party remained
behind a fence, one at each side, sspposed to be armed, with guns, the rest had large sticks and two stones each.
Mr. Middleton is a large public contractor, and employs
over fifty men daily, This is the second attack on his
men, one of whom was very severely beaten a few days
since for working for him, and had to quit. Mr. Mid-
dleton had just parted from his steward and men t., go
home another road, when this daring outrage took. place,
which, no doubt, was very fortunate for some of the
ruffians. We have learned that all Mr. Mirldleton's
men have quitted, and left his work unfinished—Nenagh

COUNTY OF MEATH—MEETING OF MAGIS-
TRATES.

RAILWAYS—GRAND CANAL COMPANY.
The Evening Post contains a report of a general meet-
ing of proprietors, held this day at the Grand Canal
Company's house, when it was resolved to send a depu-
tation to London, to give the most strenuous Opposition
to the projected plan of a railway running to the west of
Ireland by Portarlington, and in conjunction with the
Cashel Railway Irons Dublin to that town.
In the course of the proceedings, Mr. J. PIM, jun.
described certain proposed arrangements with the Dub-
lin and Cashel Company, by which four directors of the
London and Birmingham Railway were to act as direc-
tors on the contemplated Galway line, to be secured
from loss by a guarantee fund of 1,000/., and he con-
demned such a proceeding in the most decided terms.
Mr. R. GUINNESS denied that any such arrangement
was in contemplation.
Mr. Pim, who returned to the room, repeated his
statement, and required Mr. Guinness, who was a Direc-
tor of the Company in question, to confirm or deny his
assertion respecting the guarantee.
Mr. GUINNESS said there had certainly been an over-
ture to that effect, but the arrangement had nut beers
sanctioned by the board. For his part he should deci-
dedly oppese it.
Mr. Pim observed that he was well aware the bargain
bad not been concluded, but Mr. Guinness admitted the
overture had been made, and this admission confirmed
all he had stated.
Before the close of the proceedings, Mr. Pit stated
that Mr. Brunel, engineer of the English Great Western
Company, was coming over to survey the banks of the
Grand Canal, with a view to a railway along the line.
