EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING-RIOT
IN A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAP L.

(Extract of a Letter 'from Birr, dated yesterday.)
The late Roman Catholic Rector of Bier was an old,
infirm man, and his
,business was discharged by a Curate
of the name of Crotty, for a considerable time. Of the
eheracter of the latter ypu may form an idea, when -I tell
you 'he bas undergone an imprisonment (within the last 12
months) in the common, gaol,, for a violent and aggravated
assault on a peaceable and inoffensive man. The, old Rector
has milled on a serannuated salary, and the BishOti gave.
the living to Mr. Kennedy, late Roman Catholic Rector of
Liiirah; who, either disliking Crotty's character, or wish•
inii to discharge the duty himself, gave Crotty notice to
quit; this the latter peremptorily refused, and the Bishop,
to quiet him, gave him a small living in Limerick, to which-
he went. However, the Birr ladies, after a short trial of
Kennedy, not finding him equal to Crotty, swore; they
would not have any but the latter; and no wonder. :Ken-

in this manner for two months;'a°
at length Kennedy waxed
pugnacious, and on Sinid 'ay weak attempted to stornt the
altar, vi et annis. ' . _

Kennedy immediately issued a proclamation denouncing
Crotty and his men. A man, named Simmonds, (tinder
the auspices of an attorney, named Cooke),
answeted it,
threatening the vengeance.of the law On Kennedy and Isis
friends; but on yesterday' morning the crisis arrived.--
The first mass was celebrated by Crotty without interrup-
tion; but when the 'record was commencing, a carriage
drove up to the Chapel door, containing Lord Rosse,
the Roman Catholic Bishop, and Kennedy ; at the same
time the 06th Regiment, under Major Baird, (Colonel
Nicol' was at Church), approached from the barrac4; the
sown police, under Captain Peartilough, came from Birr;
atlu Wong the Kennely-road advanced. another body', of po-
lice, Major
,Judge, who headed the crusade at
Moutitinellich. ; Yfr. Crotty retired from the Atli; the
Bishop advanced ; sad the people Were quiet, tin they
found he was excommunicating Crotty by bell, boa, land
candle-light ; ' immediately the hisses and groaviii were
deafening ; the Bishop, paused—the signal was given,
and, in an instant, ;two hundred soldiers, with. fixed
bayonets, entered the chapel, and; in all probibilitY,
saved his life. The people became outrageous, and
the soldiers and polices immediately took the; most
refractory prisoners, and, • after great exertion, the
Bishop - then formally and regularly excommunicated
Crotty, and under a strong guard returned to the
Castle. I suppose not less than 10,000 people were as-
sembled, and they unanimously, expressed their determine..
tion never to pay Kennedy silpence. The same guard
Will be necessary every Sunday, as Crotty is determined
tiot'to give up,—A strong guard was *kept through .the
town and neighbourhood, and it wit* a late hour before
the mob were finally dispersed.---Dublin Correspinlent.
