HOUSE OF LORDS

THURSDAY

The Royal assent was given by commission to an im-
mense number of bills.

Lord STANLEY put a question to the Marquis of
downe respecting a supplementary minute of the Commit-
tee of Council on Education, dated the 10th inst., which
exempted the managers of certain Dissenting schools
receiving grants from the government from returning a
report of the state of religious instruction among their
pupils. He should be happy to hear the noble marquis

. . explain what were the schools in which the managers
might fairly, on religious grounds, object to report con-

hursday week, they
were attacked by a mob of Conciliation-hall Repealers :
some of them were knocked down, and all were mal-
treated. They escaped into a grocer's shop, and the mob
immediately smashed the windows. A strong party of
police rescued the beleaguered Young Irelanders.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The attendance at Conciliation
Hall on Monday was extremely wretched, nor were the
proceedings in any degree interesting. Mr. J: O'Connell
talked about the elections, and handed in various sums of
money collected by the priests. Mr. Leslie Foster, son
of the late Baron Foster, and a prominent member of the
Irish party, was present during the proceedings. The
rent was announced to be £6O.

IRISH RELIEF JOBBING.—The abuses in the relief
system would appear to have suffered no abatement. The
Galway Mercury reports, that at a recent meeting of the
Ardfahan committee the ratepayers attended in a body
with a list of persons drawing relief although they had

ample means to support themselves and their faniilies.
The government inspecting officer, Major Burns, at once
entered on a scrutiny, which resulted in striking off a
number of names. On the following day, at Kileenavra
four members of the committee, two of them ratepayers,
and two Poor law guardians, clamorously insisted on
being relieved ! The Galway Mercury threatens to pub-
lish the names of these parties, who are holders of land to
an extent of 80 or even 130 acres each.
Another horrible murder has been

perpetrated in Tip-
perary. The victim was an industrious young man named
Hayes, who lived near the village of Toomavara, on the
high road between Dublin and Limerick. A party of men,
five or six in number, knocked at Hayes's house in the
dead of night of Wednesday week. He declined to let
them enter, and his sisters, who with his mother dwelt
with him, told the marauders he was out. The party then
burst in the door, dragged Hayes from the room in which
he slept, and commenced beating him. One of his sisters
endeavoured to protect him, but she was attacked herself,

knocked down, and stunned by blows. Hayes was also
knocked down, and, while in that position, one of the
ruffians fired a blunderbuss, the contents of which entered
his abdomen, and he expired in a few hours. Six men
have been since arrested, three charged with being acces-
sories, and three with being the actual perpetrators of
this murder.
