on Wednesday, hayingoccupied.no less than 27 days.

The Rev. Thomas Tierney, one of the Roman Catholic
clergymen included in the monster repeal indictment of
180, has just died, at the advanced age of 73. Mr. Tier-
ney was al near relation of M'Manus, the escaped convict.
A. large garden of the tobacco plant, in full growth and
bloom, in the suburbs of Clonmel, has been seized on,
and torn up from the ground. The value of the entire
would be, if.manufactured, near £lOO. _ _

CARRICK.—Oti Tuesday week, Richard Jackson, his
son, and six bailiffs, went on the lands of Ballveigh to
distrait' for rent. A large party of men attacked and
beat them in such a manner as to leave Jackson and his
son for dead.

DEATH OF A " COSSPIRATOR" OF 1843.—The Free-
man's Journal announces the death of one of the celebri-
ties of the memorable year 1843, namely, the Rev. Thomas
Tierney, one of the two clergymen included in the monster
indictment of the then Attorney General; Mr. A. B. C.
Smith. •

THE POTATO.—AII " fear and trembling" with which
the public mind here was affected with regard to the safety
of this crop have nearly ceased, and we are beginning to
breathe somewhat more at our ease. The early crop is
sate and sound. and the late one continues to hold its
colour.—lrish Paper.
Two GENTLEMEN MISSING. —On Thursday week,
about twelve o'clock, just as the Aghada regatta was about
commencing, Mr. Gerrard Howe and Mr. Henry Woodley
put out in a small boat from Cork, and have not been seen
or heard of since. Serious apprehensions are entertained
for their recovery.
THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S COUNT r.—An account
from Maryborough mentions that one of ..e chief actors
in the late tragedy has been arrested bs ee police. Of
this person's guilt there is said to be not the shadow of a
doubt, and he has accordingly been committed to gaol on
the capital charge.
According to the Kilkenny Journal, the Marquis of
Ormonde has, through his agent, Mr. Walsh, pursuant
to a second valuation of his property, made a second re-
duction in his rents in order to adjust them to current
prices, and still further reduction is anticipated. Other
landlords in the county of Kilkenny have acted iu a
similar spirit of kindness.
Baron Liebig, the distinguished chemiit, whose re-
searches in agriculture, in connection with the science he
has so successfully cultivated, have acquired him an Euro-
pean reputation, passed through Dublin on Tuesday, en
route to Connemara and the Lakes of Killarney, with Dr.
Muspratt, of Liverpool, and Samuel Lover, Esq., from
Greenfield Hall, Flintshire, North Wales.
ADVANCEMENT OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—A
ukase from the Horse Guards has just appeared, which
will be highly gratifying to the professors of the noble
art of healing. F. M. the Duke of Wellington has or.
dained that henceforth the office of military executioner
shall be filled from their number. The branding of de-
serters is to be, in future, performed by the medical offi-
cers of military prisons.. This is the first step; but no
doubt the next will be to relieve the drummers from the
duty of flogging the culprits of their regiments, and to
trans er it to the regimental surgeons.—Evening Mail.

AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.—The following is an extract of a
private letter from Cavan :—" On Sunday week last five
armed men went to a tenant on the lands of Callanan, in
the parish of Mullaghorn, the property of Gerald Dease,
E3q., and fired two shots at him, one of which took effect
in his legs; they then discharged the remainder of their
fire-arms, and, having re-loaded them, walked off towards
the county of Leitrim, whence they came. This took
place before early mass on Sunday. The tenant had lived
on the estate all his life ; but he had lately taken a second
farm upon it, out of which another person had been
ejected for non-peyment of rent. This is the first outrage
we have heard of for a considerable time in this county"
Dublin was startled on Wednesday by the circulation
of reports respecting the determination of the government
not to permit the legislation of a whole session of the
recent parliament to lie a dead letter in the statute-book.
It was further reported, as a consequence of the resolu-
tion to assert the supremacy of the law, that the military
force in this country is to be augmented by four regiments
of infantry from England. Supposing that these reports
rested on any solid foundation, the idea of pouring more
troops into Ireland, and thereby increasing the public
expenditure, is simply preposterous. There is enough,
and more than enough, of soldiery in Ireland to preserve
peace were fifty prosecutions to be instituted.

SABBATH RECREATION.—The favourite pastime of
crop-biting has again become fashionable in Tipperary.
On Sunday week a party of upwards of thirty men, with
their partners, assembled on the lands of Rathnavague, a
short distance from the village of Dunkerrin, and soon
cut off (not down) a field of corn on the farm of a person
named Stapelton,.a tenant of Joseph Griffith, Esp., J.P.
They did not remove it as they appeared a little disturbed
by a large body of constabulary from Roscrea, whc, under
Head-constable Shanahan, were actively engaged in
taking a note of the proceedings. Mr. Griffith arrived in
the evening, and contilued with a party watching the crop
till Monday, when it was removed. Stapelton, it is said,
owes several years' rent.
PROTESTANT MEETING IN DUBLIN.—The Protestants
of Dublin blew a counter-blast to the aggregate meet ng
of the 19th ultimo: In accordance with a requisition
issued by the Dublin Protestant Association, a meeting
was held on Tuesday, in the round room pf ttotunda,
for the purpose of adopting " an address to the govern-
ment on the conduct of the constituted authorities in
Dublin, in reference to a so-called ' aggregate meeting of
the Catholics,' on the maintenance by the executive of
illegal titles, and on the discouragement of every effort
made to assert the supremacy of the Queen and of the
!awe." The attendance was very numerous, the spacious
room being crowded in every part, and a number of re-
spectable persons were assembled on the platform..

A BLOOMER.—Mrs. Winter, a lady who has distin-
guished herself on several occasions by her forensic
talents, advertises that she will deliver a public argument
to-morrow night, in the theatre of the Mechanics' Insti-
tute, on the right of women to practise as barristers in the
superior courts. Being a lady of great self-possession
and volubility, we have little doubt that she will maintain
her cause "to the utterance." An invidious report has
been spread that she will, upon this occrsion, assume the
legal costume worn by gentlemen of the long robe;
but that is a calumny. Mrs. Winter will not plead in
horse hair, until, having eaten her regular dinners in
Henrietta-street, she shall be duly called to the bar by
the Lard Chancellor.—Dublin Evening Mail of Friday.

EMIGRATION FROM LIMERICK.—A new feature In
connexion with emigration from this port has just mani-
fested itself, in the departure on Tuesday, by the emigrant
ship, Celeste, for Quebec, of a number of comfortable
families, of the farming class, from the neighbourhood of
Park, near this city. So fertile and remunerating were
the lands of Park considered for the last fifty years, that
they were designated " the goldep gardens of the city,"
yielding, as they did, successive rotation crops (chiefly
vegetables and prime feeding for cows) throughout the
year. Of 137 passengers, who sailed in the Celeste, 63
were from Park and its neighbourhood, and owing to their
experienced habits, there is little doubt success will attend
their exertions in the country of I heir adoption. Several
young gentlemen from this district are about to emigrate
to Australia, where persons of active and industrious
habits are sure to succeed with little capital.—Limerick
Chronicle.

ALTAR DENUNCIATIONS.—The Rev. William Digby,
a beneficed clergyman of the established church, residing
in the county of Longford, states, in a letter to the Even.
ing Mail, that in consequence of his expostulatiens with
some of the peasantry for taking part in a procfssion in
honour of the feast of the assumption, or, as it is called,
" Lady-day in harvest," he was on the following Sunday,
to use his own words, " Cursed in the chapel, tOgether
with all belonging to me, by the priest, who, in a very
excited state, as I have been by many informed, expressed
his surprise that such a person as I should have been per-
mitted so long to remain in the parish ! This denuncia-
tion from the altar has been followed up last night by
several notices having been put up, which were, found by
the police this morning, threatening with death any per-
son who should work with me, and signed, Molly
Maguire.' As yet no violence has ensued, and, notwith-
stand' l• • - • -

..olng this notice, I had a large number of reapers,
most of them Roman Catholics, working for me to-day."
POLITE LITERATURE.—A Tipperary priest, the Rev.
John Ryan, writing to the editor of a local paper upon the
question of feting the two county iiieinbers (Messrs.
Scully and Maher), concludes his epistle with a flourish to

the following effect :—" I am right glad that the 'Eccle-
siastical Titles Bill' has become the law of the land.
This bill or law will work miracles in favour of the reli-
gion of St. Patrick and the Gospel of Cbrist, the son of
God. It will prove to be 'Abe beginning of the end.?

Why do I say this ?
will make every rational man and woman in the kingdom,
who are outside the pale
,of the- church of God—the
Roman Catholic church7-begin to think and reflect.

ufficient rcason—

ucli thinking and rational persons Rill tind, on one
side, the English government and the miserable, puny,
politically forsworn, and apostate wretch, John Russell,
and on the other, God Almighty. This abandoned mis-
creant, John Russell, when he undeservedly obtained the

premiership of these islands, forgot, and still seems to
forget, that there is a God in heaven to whom, before any
and every ether being, he is, and will be, accountable."

A RUNAWAY BRTHEGROOM.---NOt a little amusement
of that kind which is dear to the gossips of a quietcoun-

try town was afforded in Lurgan, yesterday week, by the
sudden exit of a bridegroom from the civil altar of matri-
mony, his pursuit, capture, and ultimate committal to the
connubial bonds. On the day stated, a bridal party, in
fi,ll trim simi sill_ With the excention of one of the "

ci pals,' prepared for the due celebration of the ceremony,
ammbled in the office of the regitrart and the worthy

ead with these legal offices
which the wisdom of our legislators has pronounced as
effectual as the religious ordinance itself, when to the
amazement of the friends, and the distraction of the fair
fiancee, the bridegroom suddenly. "bolted," and made off.
No sooner was his otject made evident to the bewildered
senses of the party than it was determined he should not
be allowed to shirk his engagement if possible; and
accordingly he was chased through the streets by a
motley crowd of friends and strangers, men, women, and
even children, joining in the " tally-ho," which made the
welkin ring. No criminal, however, pursued by the emis-
saries of the law, ever took to his heels with greater alac-
rity, and the "chase" succeeded at length in obtaining
tetnporary refuge in a, tallow-chandler's store, amongst
the implements and material of one o(the most savoury of
our native manufactures. His retreat being invaded by
the crowd he resolved at least to sell, not his life, but his
liberty, dearly, and accordingly he ensconced himself be-
hind a large vat filled with the hot and greasy liquid of
which candles aro made, and began most liberally to ladle
