E%tract of a letter from Dublin, dated 223 July,
'PM have arrived in Dublin, after travelling
through a considerable-part of Ireland. I found the
country I passed through free from disturbance, but
a consi,:erable degree of irritation in my asitid, ex-
cited very much by the public prints exaggerating
every irregularity committed by a Protestant or
Orangeman, as they ate all called, into an outrage;
and the Protestant Paints, on the other hand, holding
out that there is no confidence to be placed in any
thing the Roman Catholics say or do; and so each
party stands in enmity to the other, and moderate
men cannot stand altogether neuter; and there is
such a dissi.. ilarity between. each party, is
feelings, views, and interests, I do not see that thee
ever can amalgamate.
“ I know in England, you think one party asbad
as the other, or that there is not much difference
between them, in point of mutual bad jerliag. You
are not much out, hut with respect to England, in
'that concerns the Constitution, there is a wide dif-4
ference, 'he Protestants, yoti may depend upon it,
will, under any circunistanccs, support the Crown
and connexion with England ; I own you have no
right t expect the same attachment from the Catho-
lics, as matters stand; but will you insure it by putting
down the Protestanteand.raising the Catholics, or
will an equal participation of the Constitution attach
them firmly to a Protestant Government? Is this the
time for granting them everything, or is it not?'
Criatous DISCOVERY Cilf MuItDERERS.—The men
whg lately committed a murder in the county of
Clare, upon a person named Ryan, have bcen,
through the activity of the police, apprehended. in
the following curious manner:—A party of the police,
commanded by Serjeant Jamieson, reached the spot
within about au hour after the perpetration of the
horrid deed, and followed tile foot-prints of the
murderers with the most perseveting assiduity. The
raen remarked, from the impression upon the ground;
that one of them wote .11C N brOipleS, or strong shoes,
the soles of which were thickly set with nails; and so
vigilant were they, that they observed the vacancy
left by the head of o!,e nail being wanting in one of
them. Ti. t: aek die/ pursues to the ruffian's house,
%heir they odk him irto custody, with the inslentical
shoes ye:'' et upon his feet! They immediately
meatus.... Shoe with the impression upon the fatal
spot, at; mutt it to answer in every respect„ even to
the absent nail. The other man, they observed, had
on.but one shoe.- This track they also followed, and
actually. took him into custody in his own bane,
having on a wet and a dry shoe! This.circuntstantial
evidence, we are glad to say, has been strengthened
by the indentification of both the prisoners by the
family of the unfortunate victim. Both the above
men have been committed to gaol, and the family
of Ryan has been brought into Waterford for safety.

A WALK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
A short time ago, s young man, now residing near Calder
nr.dge, was engaged by a drover to assist him in driving some
cattle towards the southern markets. Upon their arrival at
Ilentham, u, yorkshlre, however, his further services became
unnecessary, and he accordingly received his hive; a small trifle
was also given him towards defraying his expenses on the
journey home. Ile left Bentham early in the morning, with
the intention of having a good walk before he took break-
ldt. bid defiance to the cravings of nature, and actually
Wet t home to Urigg, where be arrived the same evening, after
hAtIN wativell the distance of Firty-three iniiet, without tasting
either victuals or drink, and did not exhibit any signs of unusual
exhaustisiti. This performance is unequalled in the 4tinals of
and may safely d...fy of our most ca.:bated pedes-
trian. to accomplish a sin:lW tack.
