OUTRAGES IN GALWAY COUNTY.
DUBLIN, MAY 16.—Within the past week some out- '
rages, connected with the eviction of tenantry, have
been committed in Galway—a county hitherto remark-
able for tranquillity. On this subject the Galway
Vindicator contains the following :
" Since the regime of our Tory rulers, the borders of
Tipperary, adjoining the county of Galway, have been
the scene of many outrages ; and, to guard as much as
possible against the system of crossing over the Shan-
non, it has been deemed prudent by the executive to have
"a stipendiary magistrate stationed at Portumna. From

EMIGRATION.
Notwithstanding the advance of the season, emigration
is still proceeding with as much vigour as in the com-
mencement of the spring ; and it is upon as extensive a
scale in Ulster as in the southern counties. From Bel-
fast alone, since the opening of the present season,
thirteen vessels have sailed for Quebec, St. John's, and
Prince Edward's Island, carrying out about 3,500 pas-
sengers. Some vessels have also sailed for the United
States, with three or four hundred passengers.
DREADFUL CONFLICT WITII THE POLICE.
The Cork Examiner contains the following account of
a desperate encounter between three policemen and a
number of the peasantry. The district where this oc-
curred has been heretofore very peaceable ; it is within
the county of Tipperary, and upon the borders of the
county of Cork : _

"A party, consisting of three of the police stationed
at Hilbenney, near Mitchelstown, were on patrol about
eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, when they were,
met by a party of between twelve and eighteen men
armed, and apparently on some desperate intent.
On the police challenging them, they answered
very roughly, and immediately attacked the
police. Their arms not being loaded at the
time, they could badly defend themselves. Two of
them were desperately beaten, and now lie in the bar-
racks, with very little hopes of their recovery. One of
them, named btrap, made a desperate fight, but was
thrown over a bridge near the place. lie held his as-
sailant so firmly as to drag him over with him, and gave
him several stabs with his bayonet, from the effects of
which, it is supposed, he must have died ; he also kept
firm hold of his gun, and though his skull was fractured
in three different places, lie succeeded in keeping it from
him: Robinson, another of the police, also made fight,
but was knocked down by a blow of a hammer, and his
skull badly fractured. The other policeman endeavoured
to discharge his carbine at a fellow who attacked him,
but missed fire—he then made off to the barracks fur
more assistance. Two countrymen, who lived near the
spot, rushed out bf their house and gave the police every
assistance ; they knocked down several of the fellows—
in fact but for them the two police would have been mur-
dered on the spot. The neighbouring police,
with Mr.
Bourke, the sub-inspector, have been out all day en-
deavouring to trace them, but without effect. This has
caused a great sensation in 3litchelstown, which is a
peaceable quarter of the country. There is no idea what
the fellows were intent on, but it is hoped by the
active exertions of the police, they will speedily be
brought to justice."

- PROCLAMATION TO THE CITI-
ZENS OF TEXAS.
" My Countrymen,—Rumours have been brought from
the south-western frontier of invasion. Particulars have.
not been furnished to the Executive. The facts are suffi-
cient to justify immediate-preparation for defensive war.
All who are subject to military duty are commanded to
be in readiness to repair equipped to the scene of action
at the call of the authorities of the country. It is or-
dered that the Colmiel of .each county, for the present,
lay off the county into company beats, and direct the
election of Captains and subalterns, and arrange the
members of each company into three classes, agreeably
to the class which they may draw. When draughts.
may take place the Colonels of the different countiess,
shall have authority and power to accept efficient sub-
stitutes into service.
" Each man will be required, iii the event of a call by the President, to report himself, furnished with god arms, eight days' provision, and 100 rounds of ammu-
nition, and prepared for three months' service from the
time when they may report at the head-quarters of the.
army.

"In the event of a formidable invasion, it is needless
to appeal to the patriotism and valour of Texans. They
have won liberty and independence by their undaunted.
heroism ; they have enjoyed the blessings of freedom ;
they are proud of their national character.
"If invasion should press upon us we are required by
every sacred obligation to family, friends, and country,
to repel our invaders with discomfiture and dismay. If
war should come upon us, we will make it our business..
We will be authorized to meet and pursue our enemies
with vengeance. They have forgotten the generosity
with which they were treated when they were placed at,
the footstool of Texan mercy ! They- were saved when.
even humanity would have justified retributive ven-
geance ! Should Mexico again disregard the exalted
principles of civilized and honourable warfare, they shall
kel that avenging arm that shall take of them full re-
compense for oppression and cruelty. Texans can and
IN ill be free—they would prefer death to degradation, or
the loss of their independence.
