We are sorry to learn, says The Edinburgh Evening
Courant of Monday's date, that the practice of de-
stroying farming stock by wilful fire raising, which
prevails in some parts of England, is said to have
manifested itself in the neighbouring county, Had-
dington. The better education of Scotch peasantry,
we would fondly hope, would secure us against out-

rages. of this description.
Friday evening a fire broke out in a cot-house at
the Yellow Cragg, near Haddington, and before it
could begot under, four cottages were quite consumed.
Saturday sennight, a little past three o'clock, the
roof of the thrashing machine at Monklaw, near Jed-
burgh, belonging to Mr. SHORTREED, was struck by
lightning, and instantly took fire. The roof being
thatched, was in a few minutes entirely in flames, and
burned with great fury. The whole of the outer
work of the thrashing-machine, and a small adjoining
house, were entirely consumed.
We learn, by private accounts from Ireland, that
the strongest representations have been made by some
of the most respectable and authoritative persons in
the southern counties, to the Irish Government, with
irrefragable proofs of the necessity of its interference ;
that the case has been transmitted to this country,
and that in Ireland the most sanguine hopes are en-
tertained of the result.
ATROCIOUS MURDER.—We regret to mention a
very cruel and barbarous murder, attended with cir-
cumstances of great audacity, that has taken place
just on the bounds of the Counties of Tipperary and
Kilkenny. A farmer, of the name of Morris, at Kil-
lentry, near Nine-mile-House, having become ob-
noxious to the public disturbers; received a threatening
notice some short time back, he having lately come
to reside there; on Wednesday se'nnight a cow of
his was driven into a bog, where she perished ; on
Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male
and female, to the bog—the male servant to take
the skin off the cow, and the female to assist him ;
but while the woman went for a pail of water, three
ruffians came, and each of them discharged his arms
at him, and lodged several balls or slugs in his body,
and then went deliberately off. This occurred about
twelve o'clock in the noon day ! No one dared to
interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or
to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer
was quite a youth, and had committed no offence
even against the banditti, but that of doing his mas-
ter's business.—Clonmell Advertiser.
It is said that fifty-two Proprietors of Country
Newspapers have been fined in mitigated penalties of
£lO each, for having insetted Advertisements of Fo-
reign Lotteries in their journals.
Tug Lan Dias. Boar.—lt being known that Mrs. Bond, late
of Hackney, who died possessed of immense riches, had at the
time of her decease a .C5O, a £3O, and three iES notes about her
which could not be found, and that Mary Wadsworth, the wife
of a tin-plate worker, was employed to lay her out, she was yes-
-1 terday brought to Bow-street (ice, when she acknowledged she
found three £5 notes sewed up in her flannel petticoat, which
she conceived she was entitled to, as when the Lady who em-
ployed her on that occasion gave her the clothes, she told her she
hoped she would find some money in them, which, if she did,
would be her own. This the Lady denied, but Mrs. Wadsworth
persisted in the truth of her stury.—The Magistrate said be
. would not detain her, but advised her to search the stays, and
if she found any property contained therein to bring it forward.
Sir. Ashley, the landlord of the deceased, said she was possessed
of .CnUO a year in Long Annuities, and £16,000 in other funds ;
that her expenditure did sot amount to £lOO a-year ; and that
she frequently said, ea the had no relations, the Kiss or the Go-
vernment should succeed to it all.

Artgatlf AGAINST THE COUNTY RATES.
DDLESEX SESSIONS--tHIS DA '1
The above interesting and very important subject
was introduced this morning by Mr. ALLEY, in .an
Appeal from the Parish of St. Mary-la-bonne against
'certain County Rates recently levied. The Learned
Counsel bottomed his objection on the late defalcation
of theirreasurer, and also on the, ground of the Act
of Parliament of the 55th of the late King, cap. 51,
which enacts, that previously to the making up of am
County Rate, an advertisement should appear In at
least two Public Newspapers, besides other notices
given; neither had they power by the Act to impose
any new rate, while the Treasurer held a surplus ca-
'pable of meeting the expenses that might be required
by the County: it also appeared that the late Treasurer
bad inhis hands no less that:L*24,ooo, exclusive off7ooo
which was not accounted for; the salary of treasurer
was £5OO a-year, besides the advantage of being the
depositary of such large sums of money which at all
times enabled him to keep large balances in hand.
Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel con-
tended that the Act of Parliament had not been com-
plied with, and insisted that his clients, the appe'-
lants on this occasion, should have access to all
papers and books appertaining to the County Trea-
surer's Office, and that proper notices should be given
before any new rate was made, and that the rate re- .
tently imposed be quashed.

The Chairmaa (F. CONST, Esq.) said, that in the
present state of the County Treasurer's Office the rate
could certainly not be supported.—lt was there-
fore quashed.
