be avoided."

MURDERS IN KERRY.
COHERSEVERN, JANUARY 6.

The Rev. Mr. Dowling, who is curate to the Rev.
Maynard Denny. and has also dealt largely as a tithe
farmer, or what is vulgarly called a tithe proctor—
and a Magistrate—obtained, some time ago, a civil
bill decree against William Casey, of Aghort, in the
Glynn. The cause of action was the hire of a bull—
not a very dignified cause ofaction for a Clergyman.
Friday last, the Rev. Mr. Dowling sent to have this
decree executed. For this purpose he employed three
men ; one of whom was named Sughrue, who was a
pensioner, and a man of very bad character. This
man was armed with a case of pistols. When they
arrived at Casey's, they seize,d one or two cows, where-
upon a mob, consisting principally of women and
boys, surrounded them, and rescued the cattle ;
amongst the rescuers was a son of Casey's, a lad of
about 18 ; and Sughrue snapped one ,of the pistols at
him, but fortunately it missed fire, and no farther
mischief then occurred save the rescue. Sughrue and
his party then went to the public-house near the
Strand, where they were followed by an elder son of
Casey's, who went to settle the business with them ;
he told them he had not the money then, but that it
should be certainly paid to Mr. Dowling the follow-
ing Sunday : with this they seemed satisfied, and
having procured some whiskey, they departed. How-
ever, unfortunately, this business had collected a
number of people together, many out of mere curio-
sity, and several, perhaps, from worse waives ;
Sughrue and his patty, instead of going home, wesu.
out of their way to where the people were collected:
a woman exclaimed, that Sughrue ought to be de-
prived of his arms ; on which he went up to young
Casey, who had been in the rescue, and shot him
through the head. There was an immed'ate attack
frog the crowd ; Sughrue was disarmed and killed on
the spot, and the other two were severely beaten.

LYNN ELECTlON.—Wednesday, the MArquis of
TICHFIELD was elected, without opposition, to re-
present this Borough in Parliament, in the room lof
Sir M. B. FOLKES, Bart. deceased.

Fifteen Clerks have been discharged from the Dub-
lin Post Office; and it is said further reductions will
shortly take place. It is our opinion that little good
can result from these minor measures.

In the present bustle for places, the Irish Papers,
as well as some Journals in this country, are indulg-
ing in the " Pqr direct," in favour of a Noble Lord,
to fill the place of Postmaster-General of Ireland,
should Lord O'NEIL be prevailed upon to resign.
How much more satisfied would the Public be, if,
instead of this place-hunting system, Ministers were
to abolish lucrative and useless places, in the present
distressed state of the country, when economy is so ab-
solutely necessary in every department of the State !
Tuesday, the LORD PROVOST, Magistrates, and
Council of Edinburgh unanimously elected ROBERT
ANDERSON, Esq. to be Dean of Guild, in the room of,
JOHN Tuntcsum,,PEsq. now Chamberlain of the City.
Thursday, in the Hi; l Court of Justiciary, John
Paterson Lawson was tried for a robbery committed
in the Edinburgh Police Office. Being found guilty,
the LORD ADVOCATE sentenced him to fourteen years'
transportation; on which the prisoner said—" GOD
bless you, my Lord! that is just what I waqted."
In the High Court. of Justiciary, on Friday last,
William Armstrong was tried for the murder of Wm.
Ferries, on the 21st of November last. It appeared
that Ferries had, with some of his companions, been
drinking freely, when he determined to call at Mr.
Armstrong's and inquire for Tibby Murray, a young
girl who lived there. His friends, unable to dissuade
him from going, followed him ; when Mr. Armstrong,
whose house had been attacked a short time before,
mistaking the young men for robbers, fired at them,
and had the misfortune to kill Ferries. Mr. JEFFREY
defended the prisoner, when, after a charge from the
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CLERK, the. Jury returned a
verdict of Culpable Homicide, but earnestly recom-
mended him to the leniency of the Court. This re-
commendation was seconded by the Crown Counsel,
and the pi ironer was sentenced to one month's im-
prisonment in Dtlmfries Jail.
During last night and the early part of this morn-
ing, the wind was so very high that considerable
damage was done- on the River Thames, by some
barges breaking from their moorings, one of which,'
running foul of the rudder of a West-coning
barge, at Bank side, carried it away. In the new
buildings erecting in Stepney-fields, the gable end
f one of the houses was blown down ; and, on the
1211.Trd•road, an elm-tree was torn up by the roots
unatalT no person was burt.

(from the third to the fourth mile stone from Hampton) withi
three minutes. The brown mare took the lead at starting, and
shot a-bead, when she broke into a gallop, and Was turned robbd
before the other mare gut up with her. She resumed the. lead,
and won the race by several lengths • and bad it not been for
breaking, she would have won within the.three minutes. The
time occupied was three minutes two seconds. The party be-
longing to the chesnut expressed di,satisfaction at their rider, and
offered to match again for goo guineas a-side, and the people els
pected another race, but it was off again.

BOXING,
At the conclusion of the great Trotting Match, it was deter+
mined upon that the game should be kept alive, and a subscrip-
tion purse was soon collected, and all was in motion for Mout-
sey Hurst, where the C.onsissorsvGesteralvras In readiness to re.=

ceive his forces. The heroes for the continuance of the sport were
Edmonds, the Hertfordshire man, and Goode, a protege of Spring.
from Herefordshire. Oliver seconded lid ponds, with Seroggins
as bottle-holder; and Spring and Tom Jones picked up Goode.
ROUNI3 I. The men turned to for more than an hour and a
half's work, and in the first round each missed their blows, and
Goode was thrown.

S. Some smart exchanges. and Goode gate the fall. •
3,4, and 5. These rounds produced sonar merry visaing, ana
the claret was sprinkled about.

Here the men got tired, and they made some pulley-hanley
rounds to the advantage of Edmonds, who had superior length
and strength.
12. This was a good round in faVotir of Goode, who dropped
his adversary, but not with that gaiety which sets the upper
works chiming.
The next six rounds *ere spent in scrambling for falls, in
which Goode got much exhausted.
. . . . _ .

19. Goode received a right-handed cask under the tug, which
put his chances on, One side, and although he fought on, he never
forgot this hit, and at lingth was beat by refusing time.
Another turn-up took place on Twickenham Common, at
darkee, between Mot and Field a navigator. It was a manly
stand-up fight, and was won by Moss in twenty minutes.

THE CHAMPION,-NEAt. •
A few Lads of the Fancy had a dinner at xir. Wm. Hoid,er's,
the White Horse, in the Horse Pair, Bristol, on Tuesday, the
Bth instant, for the purpoSe of congratulating the Champion,
Neat, upon the successful issue of the late contest for the Cham-
pionship at Hungerford Downs, and also to present him with *
Silver Tankard, voted to him by a few friends frequenting the .
above house. A most excellent dinner was rovlied, at which
the company st.l-to with a determination orwell stitring the Vic-
tualling-Office, before they commenced netting their necks. Girt
and take was the order of the day; and though many a fowl bit
was given, the Umpire allowed it to pass, in order, 'as an in-
veterate Word-pecker Observed, " to ivoid rnakingfieh of one and
flesh of another. When the cloth was witficitiben, the Cliaitman,
threw out the signal for suitters,Which was readily obeyed. He then
gave " The King," and the enthusiastic applause that followed
this tout, spoke plainly that " all was right." The next toasts
were : " The Duke of Wellington ard. the Army."—" The
Navy of Ergland." The Chairman then rose, and addressed the
Champion in the following manner:—" Mr. William Neat,
as Chairman of this company, I become the humble repre-
sentative in presenting you with this Tankard and their best
Wishes, as a mark of their respect for your manly and unasa
Auming conduct in the late combat on Ilungerford Miens; on
which occasion you not only attained but fairly and honourably
carried the proud title of Champion of England, and which
title has, I believe, without interval, for mauy years past, been
attached to a native of this city or its neighbourhood; but for
some months previous to the late contest, the Championship
had been on the wave, till through you the laurels have been
again fully reinstated—even those who were inimical to your
cause in the fight, could not avoid bestowing their meed of ap.
probation for your demeanour on that day." Turning towards
the company, the Chairman thus proceeded: " Gentlemen, I
hope I shall not be going too far in reverting to the general coSI
duct of Wm. Neat. Most of us present have known him many
years, and though Nature has gifted him with superior strength,
if he has acquired the other requisites of the art, he has never'
presumed, or used that prowess wantonly—in other word.% Mr.
Neat was never known to insult man or mortal. I am convinced
these remarks will not be rnistsktn by him, and hope the Gt-n-
-tlemen present will rot think that I am taking too much on my..
self; at all events I ask their indulgence. Turning to the
Champion, he said—" We wish you prosperity, happiness, and
the very best of health." This just tribute to private worth was
received with loud and contieued applause, and when it had sets-
sided Neat rose, evidently i.ff.cted by the scene, and addressed
the company nearly as follows :—" Mr. Chairman and Gentle•
men, you are well aware that I am rot in the habit of melting
speeches, and I am at a loss Cur words to express my thanks to
you, for the handsome present you have this day made me; but
I feel it here--(sitliong his hand on his breast). I have the plea-
sure of drinking your very good healthy, with your wives and
families, those that have any, wishing you health and happiness%
and GOD bless you all." It is needless to say this reply was re+
celled as it was meant, and if all Orators could convey so much
meanies in so few words, some of the big wigs would not befiatis.
tag thou- gabs for two or three hours at a hutch, like Mr. Ilume,
at Hereford, in returning thanks for a jug of cider. When Neat
had concluded, the Tankard was filled with Sherry, and the cora.
parry drank out of it, to the health and happiness of the Chant.
pion. The following were among the numerous toasts given ;-.4
Messrs. Belcher and Harmer, and thanks.to them for their
attentive conduct in the late tight ;" three times three.—" Mr.
Gulley."—* Success to the City of Bristol, and ' may its Com-
merce tiourish."—" The Chairman ;" three times three.—" The
Landlord, with thank' for his good dinner."—" The friends of
Neat all over the world."—" The soil that gave us blob, and
may we know how to value it."—During the evening there were
several excellent glees chaunted by some'amateUrs and a profes.
sional Gentleman, and nothing occurred to disturb the harmony
of the meeting. The company slid nut separate till an early bout
on the followinz morning. Nothing likejlinching was discovered.
No Regular was of the party, but all were out-and-outers, and
retired to their dabs satisfied with the occurrences of the day.
