had for ever des; roved in this country.' Threat-
ening not ices and incendiary letters have been re•
ceived by different • I indlords within the last fort-
!tight, for presuming to inquire for even arrears of
r.ent. On Sunday night, a banditti went to ,the
lands of 'Eagle's-hill, in thy of baronyGuwran,
Tittle moire than, two miles from this city, over-
threw the hay-cocks, .and,seattered they hay over

County of Waterford, named'Buckley, was ly.r-
baroosly murdered, on his return home, a short

work-house bridge,

skull was literally beaten ill, as if by the corner of
a stone. He was in his office a mild and indul-
gent man ; bur, Hs we learn, he had been giddy
that ' day, in mentioning his purpose of writing
to his employer to enforce, the payment of some
tythe decrees, of which, it seems, be had. a good
number. He bad been in town until near eight
o'clock at night, when he left it in company With
some other men a little inebriated. His body
'was found haltered as we have stated, and
flung. into the dyke at the road side, when it was.
discovered early on. Sunday morning., Colo*

On Friday night, about. 10 o'clock, nn armed

Rathronao, and after tiring some shots, attempted
to force his door with blows of a sledge, demand-
ing that Mr. Shaw would diseharge. from his em-
ployment a Miller from the comity of Cork. Be-
ing to force the dour, or obtain compli-
wire, the deholed beings decamped.
