About eight o'clock at night on the 20:h ult. the
;nimbi:alas of Bally bay were annoyed by a number of
ruffians armed with bludgeons, who knocked down
every person they met with whii did not belong to
their patty. They coatired this riotous conduct
along the road for a long time after they had left
Ballybay. One of the party, named gichael Daly,
was killed by a stab of some sharp instrument, in a
conflict which ensued about a mile from town. Ti.e
weapon entered his body under the point of his left
shoulder. An inquest was held on die body. The
verdict was—" Died in consequence of a wound of a
sharp instrument, inflicted by some person or per-
sons unknown."

Oa the evening of Thursday se'rmighr, n most in-
human murder was committed on a poor woman of the
name of Ann Coyle, at Ballybilliort, within Live miles
at Newry. On the morning of Friday, :he body was
discovered by a young man in that neighbourhood,
who was led to the spot by his dogs having stepped
at the corpse. Information being given to Sir .1. J.
BiteGoyNu, he immediately repaired to the place, and
had an inquest sworn : .they returned a verdict of
fi Wilful Murder against some per.•on or persons un-
known:" unkatunate victim's slobl was totally
Lid open, the body dreadfully mutilated, and what
aggravates the crime, she was large with child. Her
character was inoffen,ive and industrious.

Extract of a letter from Bombay, dated March 20.
'44 An attack was made by a large gang o(Pindaries,
armed with bows andarrows, and swords. upon J. H.
Stephenson, Esq. while travelling between Karra and
Combay, on the night
.of the ad instant. Four Gen-
tlernen were travelling the same road, but the rob-
bers singled nut from the party the Gentleman men-
tioned; who was in a palanquin at some distance from
the others, 'and to compel the bearzrs to stop, they
discharged at tnem arrows pointed viith iron shafts,
one of which went directly through the body of one,
and another- through the thigh of the other bearer
in front, carrying the palanquin ; the Mtts',alchee re-
ceived an arrow on the last rib of the left side, but
it was fortunately -broke This attack induced the
other Hamalls, 14 in number, to run away, which
left Mr. Stephenson, who was unarmed, at the mercy
of the robbers. They plundered him of some of the
property he had with him, and gave him a slight
w('und on Ole forehead. This escape may be consi-
dered miraculous, as the general cry athcngst the
gang, whist in the act of plundering, WAS; " Mar
Dail. They retreated before they had 4ccomplisned
this part of their intention, upon the firing of the Se-
poys with the baggage, which at that moment some
of the fugitive Hamalls had overtaken.
