At the last fair of RatlidJu.ny, the Cummins and
Dharrig faction; bad anothertloody conflict, when one man was
killed by a .gun-shot, EA/others were severely wounded. The
house and iurnloire of Lineman. a publican, suffered a complete
wreck, because he wasTiipposed friendly to the Dbarrigs. An iii-
fant child of Loughnan was kiUed in Its cradle by a stone flung
through the windows.
The Dingle Postman was attacked and robbed of the
Mailbags Nlonslav night while travelling from T►alee to Dingle.
Two men named Crawly and Ilouleban are committed to Tralee
gaol, changed with the crime ; also the Postman. The bags were
recovered by the police, but the fastening was forced. It is said
the contents were not disturbed.

Noonday Monday a police party were escorting font
Ballylanders three prisoners to the Bridewell of Knout, under a
committal of William Massy, Esq. when a ferocious mob of SOO
persons pursued, and attacked them with spades, slams, and
stones. The police retreated into a house fur defence. and were
obliged to tire on the assailants In self-preservation ; notwitintattO -
big, the small party would have been mauacred inevitably but tor
the quick arrival of the Cannily police detachment, who save.l
their comrades. in the course of the night a party of the C.;th
Regiment Irons Mitcitelstown scoured the country, and took up a
wounded man near the field of action. Ott Wednesday the Earl
of Kingston presided at Alitchelstown Petty Sessions, when now--
citation, were sworn against several of those concerted in the
attack, including Daniel Beckham. a principal, with his wife, who
ate fully identified.
Letters from Borrisokane assure us that no Protestant
can walk the streets of that town In safety after sun-set, such is the
state of popular feeling, although ISO men of the S3d Regiment are
stationed there. The Protestant inhabitants, of course, entertain
the greatest apprehensions of mischief, in cisc of an attack. The
house of a sister of blr. John Ledger, in rite neighbourhood of
Borrisokane, was attacked on Sunday night, and the slating and
timber of the roof torn away. For safety the family had the good
fortune to leave for Dublin a few days before. Sante night, a
small house of a friend of Ledger's, near Ardcrony, was burned.
The state of party feeling and religious animosity is most deplorable.
A man of the name of Bryan, an inhabitant sat Borri-
sokane, was found murdered on the road on Saturday morning
last; as yet no clue has been found to lead to a knowledge of the
murderers. Bryan was intimate with some of the persons in gaol
fur the late murders in that town, and in the habit of supplting
them with whiskey.—Limerick

THE• LAST WILL OF ICAPOLEU.V.

....-

It appears from the Courtier des Tribuurrux, that -
veral parties claiming different sums under the will of Napalrou have
instituted processes in the French courts, fur the recovery or their
respective legacies ; but these have been met, from time to time,
by legal and technical objections, which, though they do nut dens
the right of the testator to bequeath, or of the legatees to claiso.
resist them on the ground that they have not been made in the pro-
per form. Amongst other claimants tinder the will was Madame
Dugumier, a widow. who claimed in right of her deceased hus-
band, as the representative of his father, General Dueumier,
whom Napoleon bequeathed 100,000 francs. She presented a copy
of the will proved in England, but, without touching the merits of
the claim, it was rejected for want of the forms prescribed by the
laws of France. (It should be observed here, that Messrs. Laßue,
who are the depositaries of 5,000,000 of francs left by the ex-Em-
peror in 1815, and the executors, Bertrand and Muntholou, offer
no objection, but are ready to pay when authorized by the proper
legal forms ; and that also the late King. Louis XVIII. renounced
any claim which he might have as a Sovereign to the personal ef-
fects of Napoleon). Under these circumstances, Madame Dugu-
mier endeavoured to serve a process on the young Duke Jr Reich•
stadt, Napoleon's son, in the persons of his n aural guardians—his
mother, the Duchess of Parma, and his grandfather, the Emperor
of Austria but this was not permitted, as neither were suhj •cts of
France, nor within the jurisdiction of the French courts. She at
length sought for the appointment of a trustee to the property.
whom she might legally sue. This was refused by the Court of
Premier Instance, but the judgment of that Court has been re-
cently set aside by the Cour Royale, which has directed the trustee
to administer to the vacant succession, as to the personal property.
according to the forms of Law which would be allowed in any or-
dinary ease. This decision is most important to many of the
legatees of Napoleon, who have for many years met the greatest
obstacles in their endeavours to obtain those bequests to which they
are entitled under his will.—Tines,
