IRI LAND.

The Clonmel Herald contains the following additional
particulars, respecting the recent horrid murders at
Knockgraffon, and adds that some of the murderers
are kr.own:

" It appears from the testimony of a servant woman who was in
the house during the greater part of this horrid scene, that two of
the brothers (deceased) who were at supper made a bold resist-
ance. Four of the gang first entered, when these two brothers
knocked down two of them and closed the door, when the three
brothers who were in bed came to their assistance. On this the
four ruffians roared out for assistance, when the rest of the
villains, abort fourteen, forced in the door and door-frame. They
then took out these unhappy brothers one by one, and literally
broke in pieces the skulls of the deceased, and fractured those
of the survivors. As high as they could lift their hands they
raised large stones, and let them fall down on the beads and face
of the deceased. One of the ruffians, a large fellow with much
hair on his face, placed with one hand the servant maid against the
wall of the house, and with the other was cocking a pistol in order
to shoot her; at this awful moment, another of the gang inter-
posed, and rescued the unhappy woman, alleging that she was but a
servant girl earning her bread, unconnected with the Kinnealys,
and in a state of pregnancy ; and that the shot would be beard by
the police. It is melancholy to think that some women on the
road were aware of the murders while they were being committed,'
and had endeavoured to lead the police astray. Two fellows were
apprehended. one in the neighbourhood of Lowesgreen, and ano-
ther within a few miles of this town, and brought into CasheL—
Another ruffian, some of whose clothes were found besmeared with
blood, and in whose house some cartridges were found, has for the
present absconded ; but as there is a strict search after him, it will
he impossible for him to escape. The brother who riew lies in the
Insrmary at Cashel can speak, and knows four of the murdering
twig. Atter the murderous deed was completed, the villains deli-
berately sat down, and drank three bottles of whisky which they
brought with them, and when they emptied the bottles, broke them
In pieces on the heads of the poor sufferers."
The following are some further particulars of the
dreadful fanaticism in Wexford, which we extract from
The Dublin Evening Mail:
It appears, that three weeks previous to the fatal day, Father
Carroll proclaimed from the altar, that he would shortly appoint a
el fur the performance of miracles, and for administering relief to
diseased persons as put their faith in him. Friday, the 9th
Swain, was the day appointed. His intention was made known
throughout the country, and hundreds flocked from remote parishes
bi witness the ,miracles.—ln evidence that such is the case we
tfkr one fact which did not appear before the Coroner's Inquest :
—On the day alluded to; a must respectable professional practi-
tioner, Dr. Biggs, was riding through the village of KiUineck, and
perceiving a crowd round a woman, who was in strong convulsions,
be got off his horse for the purpose of rendering her such assistance
as b:s humanity and his knowledge dictated; but the people,
although well acquainted with his person and character, would not
suffer him to touch her, exclaiming—" that the devil was in her,
and that they were waiting for Father Carroll to knock him out."
Tins woman's name is Mary Moran; she lies at this moment dan-
Zerously ill; her breast bone broken, and otherwise so seriously
injured, that she is nut expected to recow.

The public works %ere recommenced at Galway last
week. Scarcely a poor person is now unemployed.

MONTHLY CRITICAL. GAZETTE.
THE THIRD NUMBER of this Wurk is in forwardness at
pre's, and will be published with the other Periodicals on the FIRST
AuctsT, and may be bad of all the Booksellers it the United
Kingdom.

It will contain full and interesting Analyses of every New Pub-
lication which appeared in the month of June, just as No. 1 and 2
contained the 120 New Works of April and May.
The Conductors deeply lament, that owing to circumstances
which cannot be stated at convenient length in a public advettise-
tient, many Country Booksellers and their friends have been dis-
appointed in the receipt of the two first Numbers of this Work.
Those circumstances will be detailed at length in the thit d Number,
nut for purposes of crimination, but of self-justification.
The plan of this Work is altogether new and original, and its
execution has so powerfully excited public attention, u in great
measure to have created those obstructions, and even mutilations,
of which the Literary World and the Proptietors have so mucb
r. son to complain.—London, Juts' Clet

ENGLISH OPERA HO USE.
THE ICING'S THEATRE. -'
Ensures favourite Opera Butfa " Ii Toren in Raba," was per-
formed for the last time this season, last night, and a crowded and
brilliant audience assembled to do honour to its temporary leave
taking. Owing to the length of the Opera there was no Divereise.
meta. The Ballet of Le Page lateautaxt followed, and went off
with its usual success.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
An elegant audience attended this house last night, to witness
the performance of the Dramatist, which was very ably sustained.
Between the acts Madame CATALAN* sung two beautiful Italian
airs, and at the end of the Play substituted Sweet Home, fur one
announced, which was rapturously encored ; she likewise gave,
for the first time, Scots wha Atie wi Wallace bled, which produced
thunders of applause, and was called for a second time, but instead
of it, she sang Bale, Britannia in such a manner as at once to asto-
nish and delight.
Last night the celebrated popular German Opera of
Dtr Freischitt was produced at this Theatre, which
shewed not only the strength of the Company, but the
liberality of its spirited Manager. This Opera is a li-
teral translation from the Opera of CARL MARIA VON
WEBER, so popular in Germany as to have the singular
honour of being prifornied for one hundred successivel
nights, and at thirty different Theatres at the same time.
The story, which is taken from the " Popular Talesand
Romances of the Northern Maw's," though somewhat
altered in the catastrophe, is

Rod:,IA (Mr. uIIAHAM) and Casper (Mr. acme* are both ena-
moured of Aver (Miss Nola.); RatiolpA is the favourite of the Lady
and her father. Casper, however, obtains from the Dentonofa lined
(Mr. T. P. Cool*, the power of directing any bullets with which
he might fire fairly to the mark at which he aims; in consideration
whereof he engages to surrender himself a victim, or to procure a
victim for the Derwin, after the lapse of a certain period of time.
He is desirous of making his rival RedolA this victim, and endea-
vours to do so by transferring this power of directing the shots he
might tire with accurate aim. it ainlph is the more anxious to be.
come what is termed " a good shot," as a trial shot is about to take
plice, which alludes to a custom that prevailed in part of Germany.
that he who proved himself the best shot was entitled to the Han.

lership of the Forest, and to demand in marriage the most beat;i-
rut woman in the country. Notwithstanding these blended aurae-
doss to yield to the suggestions of Casper, Rodolph escapes the snare,
and the Fleet ends by Rudolph's bullet, at the ti sal shot, being di-
rected by the Demons power to the heart of Casper—Rada/ph, of
course, receiving the bride and the Rangership of the Forest.
The music of this Melodrame has, for mole than two
years past, resounded all over Germany, the land of
song. It is calculated to please ever y taste: the multi-'
tude admire it for the beauty of its melodies, of which
the connoisseurs are eqnally sensible, but find in it, be-
sides, whatever distinguishes the great master, and pro•
claims tire brilliant genius. In the FreischiiZz, the lively,
the tender, the solemn, and the nsysterious, are all ex•'l
pressed in the most appropriate tones and harmonies;
and, if we may judge from the effect produced on the
audience last night, the people of this country are as
alive to the excellence of fine musical composition as,
those of any nation in Europe. The overture, for in-
stance, which is full of science, of ingenuity, and effect,
was encored; a trio, remarkable for its admirable con-
trivance, was also called for a second time, and scarcely
anything that particularly displayed the talent of a fine
musician, escaped immediate notice. It was exceedingly
well performed, arid it would be unjust to Mr. ARNOLD
not to say, that he has spared neither expense nor exer-
tion to produce this German Opera in such a way as to
do its composer justice and to gratify the public, and
that success will•attend his efforts we cannot reasonably
entertain a doubt.

Mr. AasoLD's very hazardous experiment of giving
a popular German Opera to an English- audience, has
thus met with the brilliant success it merited. It was
Announced for repetition amidst bursts of applause.—
The House was crowded at a very early hour. Mr.
BRAIIAM introduced some Gelman airs, which he sang
delightfully.
We much doubt whether Mr. BRAHAM'S part was
ever so well sung in the country of its first production.l,
sliss NOEL sang with considerable taste and execution ;
and Miss POVEY did justice to her part. Mr. BENNETT,
who played the Freischiitz, not being a vocalist, had a
double given him, for the purpose of singing his songs;
this was Mr. H.PHILLirs, and .he, srho possesses a fine
bass voice, acquitted himself very satisfactorily.
