ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER IN TIPPERARY.
CLONNEL, DEC. 16, lo4s.—The south riding of this
unfortunate county has become the scene of a blood-
stained and cruel murder. The victim in this instance
is Mr. Charles Acheson, formerly a respectable and ex-
tensive trader in this town ; but who, being unfortunate
in business, was obliged to take a situation as clerk in
the employment of Messrs. J. Stein and Co., the eminent
distillers, at Marfield, near this town. He came into
town on yesterday evening about some business, and
delayed some time at the house of Mr. M'Glissan, town-
clerk, which he left about nine o'clock, and was accom-
by Mr. Glissan as far as the union workhouse,
where he bid him good night, and the unfortunate
man proceeded on his way alone. He was waylaid in a
lonesome part of the road near Birdhill, and within
forty perches of his own house, and beaten with stones on
the head and breast in a most frightful manner; the
eye-balls were dislodged from their sockets, and his
brains dashed about the road! The lifeless body was
found this morning in the horrible manner above de-
scribed, on which an inquest will be held at four o'clock
this evening. The only cause that can be assigned for
this horrible murder is, that Mr. Acheson discharged
three men from the distillery last week for miscon-
duct. —Dublin Evening Mail, Dec. 17.
CHIEF JUSTICE PENNEFATHER AND ALPHABET
SMITH.—It was reported in the Four Courts yesterday
that Chief Justice Pennefather had forwarded his
resignation to London, accompanied by the mo-
dest request that Alphabet Smith should get the
vacated office ! What is almost as extraordinary, this
piece of cool impudence, if true, was credited by the
majority. All we can say is, that it would not be be-
tieved of any other man out of a straight waistcoat.
The Government which would appoint Alphabet Smith
to such trust would be as mad as the man who would
recommend him. But we cannot believe either the one
or the other.—Dublin Pilot of Wednesday.
RAILWAY COMMITTEES IN DUBLIN.--The Limerick
Repo, ter contains a requisition, signed by the Catholic
Bishop, the Mayor, High Sheriff, and many of the leading
gentlemen of the city and county, calling a meeting for
Wednesday, to meznorialise the Government to grant
that the Committees on Irish Railways should hold
their sittings in Dublin. The example of Limerick should
be at once generally imitated. All parties are interested
in the matter, and the Conservative as well as the
Liberal press agree in its justice, and appreciate the
benefit it would confer on this impoverished city, -as well
as upon the shareholders, by facilitating the settlement
their business. We are disappointed at not seeing
Dublin in the van of this movement.

Major 8., late of the Life Guards, and who gallantly
fought with his troop at Waterloo, has been so reduced
to the lowest ebb of misery, by the pernicious effects of
gambling, that he is now employed as a porter in a house
of business in this city, having been previously in the
workhouse. For months he has been in rags.—Cork
Southern Repot ter of Tuesday.
