DUBLIN, OCT. 4.

We regret to state that his Excellency is now suffer
ing from a severe attack of his painlnl malady; brought
on by his exertions on the Lord Mayor's 'Day. His
complaint is most susceptible of rapid transitions from
heat to cold, and unfortunately on that day he was in
a peculiar manner exposed to the extremes of both.
Imperative necessity compels his Excellency to remain
quiet for some days at his residence, Hichview ; but We
lean that his Physicians entertain sanguine hopes that
his health will be fully and speedily restored.
Wednesday night, within a mile and a half of Glas-
nevin, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, as:
Mr. Warren. a Gentleman residing in that neighbour-
hood, was returning home on a jaunting-car from a
shooting party, in company with a tew friends, he was
attacked by two men, armed with pistols ; one of them
stopped the horse, and presented a loaded pistol at Mr.
Warren, and desired him to stand and deliver. Mr.
Warren fired at him with a double-barrelled gun, and
killed him. The second was proceeding towards the
car. when Mr. Warren again fired, and wounded him.
Mr. Warren then proceeded to the police office in
Glasnevin. and informed police constables Harney and
Byrne, who immediately repaired to the spot, where
they found a man lying dead on the road, with a loaded
pistol in his hand; they also found on his person &peat
quantity of leaden balls, and about half a:pound of gun.
powder. The body was conveyed to the police office,
and the constable went in pursuit of the wounded man.
and. after an intricate and diligent search, succeeded in
finding him in a public-house in Ballymune. tying ott
the floor ; on searching him, they found on his pampa
three flints, and the bill of a gunsmith for repairs of a
large case of pistols. He states his name to be David
Jones. a native of Drogheda, and is about 20 years
I age. He was conveyed to the hospital in Jervis-street.
He is dreadfully wounded in the breast, neck, and arms.

DUBLIN, OCT. 3.

The South is tranquillized. I enclose yon the copy
of a demi-official dispatch from the parish priest of
Borrisokane, received this morning in Dublin, which
will satisfy you as to the fact.
You will see by the Dublin papers that Mr. Law!ess
has been formally recalled from the north ; indeed, the
proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant would have ac•
complished the purpose without a resolution of the
Association.
The proclamation has not satisfied either party-4
circumstance not calculated, I thick, to cause any but-
prise. The Orangemen looked for something sangui.
nary and decisive, while the Catholics, on the other
hand, think it more aimed against themselves than the
Brunswickers. Its operation was anticipated in the south
by the address of the Association, and in the north it
will, with regard to the Catholics, be a dead letter.
However,• though the thing would . ha►e been done
without the proclamation. moderate people are rather
disposed to let Government have the credit of doing it.{
But the moderate are very few in Ireland.

As to the third pirty, of which I spoke in my former
letters, efforts are making to get it up; but most un-
questionably these efforts will fail. It is indeed a me-
lancholy fact that the differences between Protestant,
and Catholics are becoming wider every day. The
Protestant Declaration has, comparatively speaking, few
signatures.
Wheat has advanced from Is. to 2s. a barrel this day.
They speak of stopping the distilleries.
