DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.

Our intelligence from the disturbed districts to-
day is disiressing. In the county of Mayo, the Ribbon
system is extending. On Wednesday, a servant who''
was left to manage the concerns of Mr. Fair (the
Gentleman who was fired at with a double-barrelled
gun, a few days previous), at the farm of Currabeg,
was attacked in a field on the lands, by nine persons,
who beat him into an apparently lifeless state. The
unfortunate man remained lying in a helpless state in
the place where he was beaten, until J. E. Strickland,
Esq. who was going to the Assizes, was passing the
spot. This Gentleman took him into his carriage, and
carried him to the town of Clare, to be taken care of.

In the county of Tipperary, where the Insurrection
Act has not yet been put in force, the banditti have
committed one murder and several other outrages.—
On Thu! slay, Mr. Arthur Johnston (who is receiver,
under the Court of Chancery, to a certain property
near Nlullinahone),laving occasion to distrain one of
the tenants, a Mr. Francis Olilis, jun. sent out for
thA purpose, about nine o'clock in the morning, John
Egan, John Sheppard, and Maurice Lahiff: on their
arrival at Oldis's, at Clongoosge, and in the act of
driving some cattle out of his back-yard, a shot was
fired by some murdering villain from the dwelling-
house, which killed Egan on the spot. On hearing
of :his melancholy catastrophe, Mr. Johnston sent to
John Despar, Esq. who proceeded instantly with a
party of military in various directions and appre-
hended Hugh Loughlin and Pat. Meehan, on sus-
picion of being concerned in the murder.
A respite has been received by the High Sheriff of
the county, for the sixteen unexecuted men of those
who were found guilty and sentenced at the late Cork
Special Commission.
The following are further particulars of the mur-
der committed on a woman at Ballybeacon, men-
tioned in the STAR of Monday :
The unfortunate victim was named Margaret Car-
rigan, aged about 25 years, who, with one of her sis-
ters, had• been sent by their mother (a widow living
on the lands of Lodge, near Powl-a-Tar Bridge, in
the Pai ish of Ballybeacon, near Ardfinane) for some
candles about eight o'clock last Sunday evening. On
their' way, they saw a fire on the road side, with
seven or eight men round it, which, on their ap-
proach, was quenched: both the girls were then struck
.and knocked down by some of the men, and deceased
lay motionless on the ground : on her sister being
able to rise, she went towards Margaret, and seeing
her situation, ran home and brought her mother and
another sister, with a horse and car, to the place where
deceased lay, when they put her into the car; but
before they reached their own house, she was dead !
In the County of Kerry, Mr. Blennerhasset's cot-
tage at Churchtown, was totally burnt to the ground
by the insurgents, on Monday night.
Saturday night, a party of insurgents went to the
house of a farmer, named Herlihy, and cut off one of
his ears; they also broke his furniture.
Tuesday morning, the 19th, between two and
three o'clock, several farmers houses on the lands of
Coolruss, near Croom, county of Limerick, were at-
tacked and broke open by a party of about eight in
number, all armed with guns and some pistols, and
unmercifully flogged Patrick Burns, Patrick Ma-
grath, John O'Donnell, John Newman, Thomas and
Patrick Cronin, and threatened them with destruc-
tion if they did not quit their farms, which they held
for many years, by Sunday next.
The house of James Sullivan, tenant of Mr. Nash,
was also burnt by the insurgents at Ballyree, near
Ballingarr7, together with a quantity of wheat, fur-
niture, and straw.
The same night, Connor .Long, on the lands of
Cappenahane, was flogged and desired to give Op
his house.
Friday night, two tenants on the estate of Viscount
Adare, at Dodoro, were flogged in a cruel manner
by several fellows, because they did not conform to
General Rock's mandate in surrendering the farm.
