ANSWER..

Dublin, 20th June, 1831.

Sta—The memorial addressed to the Lord Lieutenant by
the principal inhabitants of Newtownbarry, has been laid
bc'orc his Excellency.
To say that he deeply deplores the very lamentable tran-
saction to which it relates, is but feebly to express his feel.
ings on the occasion.
His Excellency has the satisfaction to find that he has
anticipated the request of the memorialists in sending Mr.
Green, a King's counsel, and a confidential adviser of the
Government, to investigate the particulars of this most un-
fortunate affair.

llia Excellency feels confident that the Gentlemen who
have signed the Memorial will use their best exertions to
maintain that peace which appears to have been restorod, by
softening, by every means in their power, the "verities
which such an occurrence leaves behind it. _ _

I address this letter to you, sir, as your name is the first
attached to the 3lemorial.

1 hare the honour to be, sir, your most obedeint servant,

NEWTOWNBARRY MASSACRE.

By considerable exertions we have removed the
possibility of the complaint being longer made that
the public has not received sufficient information
on the causes and progress of this inhuman out-
rage. The creditable efforts of an able and gene-
rous provincial press enable us to lay such a mass
of evidence before the empire as completely to
expose its origin and whole details. Hitherto the
officer has been employed in hearing the witnesses
for the yeomanry—those witnesses being them-
selves yeomen and policemen, and some of them
persons whose hands are red with blood. Even chat
evidence does, we think, in the mind of every
honest man establish the enormous guilt of the
yeomanry and Graham. But the evidence on the
other side, which is indeed clear, consistent, and
even in the main particulars, corrobororated by
that of the accused themselves, throws as was
natural a fuller light on this dreadful massacre. It
is now established that the first shot was fired by
the yeomanry—that the police fired and shot some
of the peasantry—that Graham did give orders to
fire—that no riot act was read—that the only pos-
sible justification for this massacre was the throw-
ing of some stones—and that previous to that, and
in fact the cause of it, was the provokingly brutal
conduct of the yeomenry, who " prodded" with
their bayonets the crowd that pressed on them.
The evidence of King, Dillon, and Bothwell
(policemen), and of Doyle and Devereux, will be
found worthy of particular attention. The account
of the origin of this transaction given by Devereux
seems to us to bear the plain features of truth.
"One of the parishioners in the rear, whose person he
knows, but whose name he is ignorant of, asked Capt. Gra-
ham to wait until Mr. Feltus's return; ttraham then de-
manded the cattle out; said he would cant them; that every
yeoman and policeman had a ball cartridge In their piece;
offer that a man of the name of John Doyle came up, who Is
a son of Patric* Doyle, the owner of the cattle; he said to
Capt. Graham, there is many a man here going to the mar.
ket, there is many a man coating from market atter doing his
business, and there is many a man hat coming to boy my
cattle, unarmed, without anything but his hands ; diapers*
your yeomanry, (says he), and I myself will drive the
cattle to Newtownbarry ; the man (says he) who bids be-
yond the value foie thena,be may have them—if they go for the
value I may buy them myself, and I'll redress myself by the
law.' Capt. Graham said • Disperse ! (waving his sword)
I'll cant them.' A man said to Captain Graham that it
was beyond the auction time, and wait for Feltus. Stand
back, you ruffian,' said Captain Graham, making a thrust of
his sword at the man. The man then raised his hand at
Capt. Graham, and said, How dare you make a dart of your
sword at me? I have as good authority on this road as you,
and I paid more for making it.' Captain King, a piece
down in the road, said, Captain Graham, read the riot set.
' No,' says Captain G. • but I'll read the tight act.' Graham
put his hand in his pocket, and pulled up a paper about an
inch out of his pocket, and run it down again ; Graham de.
mended the cattle out of the pound, waving his sword at the
same time; the cattle were let out of the pound, and the
polite took them into custody. To the best of his belief,
six police marched before the cattle, six behind them, aol
the remainder in the rear. As they advanced a little towards
Newtownbarry, Captain Graham turned round the horse after
them ; his own corps of yeomanry wheeled after him, and the
other corps in the rank ; knows most of Graham's corps these
16 years; the people began to rush on out of curiosity, as de-
ponent believes, and the yeomanry punched them with their
bayonents ; every man deponent saw at this time stabbed or
struck with bayonets, raised his hand in a passion, and asked
how dare they strike them with their bayonets ? and beard
one man say, • do you mean to let my guts out, you
rascal r After that he saw a stone thrown weakly from the
people in the direction of the yeomanry ; after that, de.
poneot saw the people rushing on the yeomanry, and they
mixed with each other, and then saw two or three stones
come from the people at the yeomanry ; then saw Captain
Graham stoop his head down towards the pommel of his
saddle and said ' fire!' When Graham said fire, a shot was
let, and in an instaat after another shot ; deponent beard
one of the commanders say,' fall into your ranks,' and then
five or six shots were let after one another quite quick;
altogether five or six shots were fired; he heard so many
shots that if he had two pounds of powder in a rock they
would not make a greater report ; they stopped for about a
second, and then a great number of shots were fired ; then
saw some moo shot and some men falling; saw the blood
running from some of them ; cannot particularise any man
by name who tired on that occasion ; cannot identify one
man more than another that fired, the firing was so quick;
did not see the wan who fired the first shot, nor the second.

INCORPORATED SOCIETY FOR THE PRO-
PAGATION OF Tat; GOSPEL. IN FOREIGN

PART&

The Society held its anniveasary meeting yes-
terday, at Freem son's-hail, Great Queen-street.
The Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chair,
supported by the Lord Mayor and the Bishops of
Loudon, Winchester, Bangor, Quebec, Nova Sco-
tia, and some other bishops; Mr. Justice Park,
Mr. Justice Patteson, Lords Bexley and Barring-
ton, Sir James Malcolm, and many other distin-
guished individuals.
The A RCIIBISHOP said there was no occasion
for bins to state the cause of their assembling--
that was known to them all: he therefore should
call on Mr. Hamilt n to read the report, wh:ch
first gave an account of the progress of the esta-
blishment on the American t ontinent, particu!arly
as to its successful effurte in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick, where the number of Missionaries sent
by the Society had been considerably increased,
and not less than eighty churches consecrated
within five years, with an increase of attendance
on these churches of not less than ten thousand
persons, many of whom were emigrants. In
Newfoundland the limitation of their means bad
left much undone which might have been effected.
The Bermudas had received assistance from Nova
Scotia. In the schools of the former place there
are now 700 attending, where five years since there
were none. In the two provinces of Upper and
IA wer Canada, at that period, there were only 10
