speakers were Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Henry Grattan,
who urged the usual topics.
CORN LAW AND REPEAL.—The passing of the corn law
was celebrated last night in the city by a moving illumi-
nation. Bands paraded through the streets, striking up
cheering, and exulting strains, preceded by a broad and
brilliant line of torches. Lighted tar barrels were borne
along in other directions, followed by crowds, who pro-
ceeded from one baker's shop to another, and by signifi-

cant exclamations announced the joy they felt at the ap-
proaching abundance of the "staff of life." One party
bore long poles, on some of which large loaves were
mounted, and in front of another was a platform carried
along, on which " Bothered Dan," in cocked hat and
plume, was seated, grasping in one hand a long stick, on
which the fragment of a masssive loaf was emblematically
fixed.—Cork Reporter.
SHOCKING TRAGEDY.—One of those dreadful occur-
rences, at the very mention of which the blood runs cold,
arising from the use of intoxicating liquors, has taken
place in Dublin. The unfortunate vie:lm to the fury of
a man mad with drink, named Jane Boland, resided in
Loftus-lane, near Capel-street. It appeared that she was
confined on Tuesday, of a dead child ; and a witness
swore that she confessed that her husband, when in a
state of intoxication, on Sunday, came into the room
where she was lying ; that he struck her with a stick
several times across the belly, and pointed to a stick that
was used for drying clothes out of the window ; she added
that, immediately after she was struck, she was seized
with severe vomiting, and acute pain. The coroner's
jury returned the following verdict:—" We find that Jane
Boland's death was caused by extensive peritonitis, pro-
duced by blows inflicted on her by ber husband, William
Boland, while in a state of intoxication."
DREADFUL MURDER.—A terrible outrage, which
ended in murder, occurred on Monday, at Belturbet,
near Fermanagh. Three men came to the house of Tom
Burns, dragged him out of his bed, in which were his
wife and three children, one carrying him by his feet, the
other two by his arms, and murdered him in a most cold-
blooded manner. Two of the ruffians held Burns by his
arms, against a table at his own door, while the third de-
liberately groped for his short ribs, and discharged a
pistol fined with cluck shot ! The shot spread upward,
and took effect in his lungs and heart. Poor Burns lived
from one o'clock on Monday night, until some time the
following day, and on the police being sent for, he gave
information against the three men, neighbours, whom he
knew, and identified. They are now in Cavan gaol.
Their names are Smith, Farrelly, and Reilly, who fired
the shot. Burns had ceased to worship as a Roman
Catholic, attended the C. c F„-. -

church of ,ngland, and had given
nformation respecting Ribbonism, for which he has been

murdered.

DUBLIN PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.

The members and friends of the above association met
on Wednesday evening, Ist of July, in the hall of the
association, Whitefriar-street, for the purpose of cele-
brating the anniversary of the victory of the Boyne, The i
meeting was originally to have been held in the Rotundo
Gardens, but owing to the broken state of the weather
and other unforeseen circumstances, the place of meeting
was changed to the hall, which was very tastefully deco-
rated for the occasion with shrubs and flowers, and
amongst the latter was a great abundance of orange lilies.
Several banners, representing William 111. on horseback,
which were placed in various parts of the building, had
also a most striking and pleasing effect. There were also
inscribed in gold letters, over the chair and on the front
of the galleries, such mottos as the following :—" God
save the Queen"—" Lord Lorton and Protestant Ascen-
dancy"—" Earl of Roden and the Orange Institution,"
&c. A vast number of Orangemen were present, who
wore their scarfs and insignia of office. The meeting,
which was thronged to excess with a most respectable
audience, was most orderly and regular all through.
Amongst the speakers on the occasion was the Rev. T.
D. Gregg, who moved the following resolution, "That
we are convinced that if all Irish Protestants, without ex-
ception, organized themselves in order to show the nature
of Christian laws, and constitutionally to demand their
enactment, the power of truth, and the numbers on their
aide would soon convince the Protestant community
Great Britain that the path of safety ran side by side with
the path of duty, and that both led to the ascendancy of
truth, its sole maintenance, encouragement, and counte_
nance ; and that we are further convinced that so long as
British statesmen are led by an expediency to counte.
nance religious falsehood and to pension idolatrous spas_
tacy, they need not expect aught bnt overthrow,
disaster, and disgrace." The rev. gentleman at much
length urged on those present the employment of renewed
exertions to create a great party in Ireland, who should be
witnesses for the truth. (Hear. hear.) Sir Robert Peel
had gon out of office, and, as far as he could make them
so, his last words rung the knell of the Irish Church.
Such was the sense which they must deduce from his
statement, that Ireland should be reduced to a level in re-
ligious matters with England and Scotland, whereby he
meant that, as the religion of the majority was established
in England and Scotland, so should the religion of the
majority be established in Ireland. That, no doubt, was
