On Saturday, the 15th ult. about 2 o'clock at night, a daring
outrage was committed on the house and property of Mr. John
Hamilton, of Knockabrin, near Letterkenny. His son, on
opening the front door, was instantly fired at and wounded in
the hand and arm. In the course of a little time three large
corn stacks, with an out-office, were set fire to and burnt to the
ground. Sixteen head of cattle were saved by the activity of
some of the inmates. In the mean time the police arrived from
Letterkenny. Some of the neighbours being suspected, their
place was examined, which led to an investigation on the Mon-
day. following, before the magistrates and chief officers of
police, when five persons were committed to Lifford gaol.—

BARBAROUS ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN THE CITY OF KIL-
KENNY.—About the hour of 11 o'clock on Wednesday night
last, as sub-constable Gannon was returning to the police-station
at Dunmore, he was attacked by three fellows who rushed out
of a house on the upper part of Green's-hill, in the outskirts of
this city, and within 40 or 50 yards of the police-barrack at
Mount Brilliant. They knocked him down and took his carbine
from him, with which they beat him about the head until the
stock broke. These sanguinary ruffians then inflicted several
dangerous wounds on him, some of which will, we fear, prove
fatal, with his bayonet. The unfortunate man received a deep
cut and several severe contusions on the head, besides having
been stabbed in two places in the back and in the neck. In this
dreadful state the unhappy sufferer was discovered about 12
o'clock by some of the constabulary belonging to the Mount
Brilliant station (only a few perches distant), whither he was
brbught in an almost lifeless condition. He was conveyed to
the County Infirmary about 3 o'clock on the following day,
where he now lies with but little hopes of his recovery.—
Kilkenny Moderator.
SAVAGE MURDER.—On Sunday night three men (one of
whom had a pistol, another the handle of a pitchfork, and the
third a large stick) attacked the house of Patrick Nesbitt, of
Donoughmore, near Johnstown, a labourer in the employment
of Robert Neville, of Marymount, En. On entering they
placed Nesbitt on his knees, and asked him why he did not give
up his ground to the right owner, but before the unfortunate
man had time to make any reply the fellow who was armed
with the handle of the pitchfork attacked him in the most un-
merciful manner and beat him with it until he broke it in pieces
on his head ! This blood-thirsty ruffian, not having yet satisfied
his vengeance on poor Nesbitt, took the, stick from the other
man and continued to strike him with it until he broke it also !
Nesbitt died next day from the effects of the savage treatment
inflicted on him. An inquest was held by William Ponsonby
and Robert Neville, Esqrs., and a verdict of "Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown" returned.—Kilkenny
Moderator.

THE CONVENTION FAILURE.—Last year we enjoyed a laugh
at the failure of the convention; this year we are fated to in-
dulge in the same enjoyment. Almost all the liberal members
who are not Dan's mere creatures have spurned his command
and have refused their attendance. This is as it should be.—
Dublin Times.

On Sunday last, while the Rev. Richard Goold, son of the
Rev. Pierce Goold, of Borrisokane, was attending and admi-
nistering the comforts of religion to a sick woman, he was in-
terrupted by one of the police in attendance upon him, and in-
formed that a large concourse of people was gathering from all
quarters, with a design, as was apprehended, of doing him
some bodily harm. The Rev. gentleman, who, ever since the
seizure of his father's tithe, has been obliged to travel under
the protection of an escort, almost immediately, on the intima-
tion being made to him, left the house, mounted his horse, and
was about to depart, when several voices from the assembled
multitude cried out " Now for it; down with him." Mr.
Goold, with the most perfect composure, and apparent determi-
nation, pulled in his horse, drew his pistol, and warned the mob
that the first person who threw a stone, or otherwise attacked
him, should be shot. Upon making this declaration he in-
stantly started his horse and flew through the crowd, the police
accompanying him, and fortunately escaped the horrid death
designed for him. The conduct of the police on this occasion
was most praiseworthy. But for their vigilance the name of
Goold would inevitably have been added to those of Going,
Whitty, Houston, and Ferguson.—Evening Packet.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—AII the country papers are filled
with the most melancholy details of the inflictions under which
Protestants are suffering. We might select a hundred extracts
similar to that which we subjoin from the Cork Constitution, as
indicative of what Protestants and the Ministers of Christ are
condemned to endure :—" The clergymen are coming into
town with their families, to save themselves from assassination.
The churches of all such as have been .driven to this step for
the preservation of their lives are necessarily closed, and their
congregations must want the word of God, which they had
heretofore enjoyed. This is a summary way of overthrowing
religion—murder or put to flight the clergy—the churches must
be shut up, and religion will no longer have preachers to in-
struct, nor congregations to learn the ways of salvation. It is
a fatal symptom in the character of the times that all this should
proceed without a single effort being made to interrupt it ;a
s;iort time ago, who could have believed such a state of things
th be possible ?"—Dublin Mail.

MURDER OF THE REV. Mn. FERGUSON.—In addition to the
. .
' private subscriptions to the amount of £7OO, which have been
entered into for the apprehension of the murderers of the late
Mr. Ferguson, Government have issued the following :
Whereas it has been represented to the Lord Lieutenant, that
on the morning of Saturday, the 15th day of December inst.,
as the Rev. Charles Ferguson, A. M. Rector of Timoleague,
was driving in his gig from that place to Bandon, in the county
of Cork, he was waylaid by several persons: on discovering
which, he quitted his gig, and fled into the fields adjoining the
road, where he was most cruelly murdered Excellency,
for the better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpe-
trators of this outrage and murder, is pleased hereby to otter a
reward of £4OO to any person or persons (except the persons
actually concerned therein) who shall, within six mouths from
the date hereof, give such information as shall lead to the ap-
prehension and conviction of all or any of the persons con-
cerned therein. And his Excellency is further pleased hereby
to offer a reward of £lOO for such private information as shad
lead to the discovery of the perpetrators of this murder; such
information to be given to Sir NV illiam Gosset, Dublin Castle,
or to Major Millet, at his office at Cork.
THE VoLuNTEERS.—This notable society held a meeting on
yesterday. Their proceedings differ so little from the other
agitation clubs, that they are not deserving of comment. l'he
only reason we now advert to them is, to call the attention of the
influential classes of that portion of society which would be
likely to be identified with such a body to the nature of the asso-
ciation, and the position in which it is likely_ to be placed. If it
change in nature so far from the Political Union as not only to
take the name of Volunteer, but also to become organised under
leaders—whether they are called conciliators or captains rege-
nerators or corporals—then the volunteers become an organised
body, existing without a legal sanction, called into being not
even for an indifferent or harmless purpose, but to. accomplish
the measure of a repeal of the union between England and Ire-
land, notwithstanding they know full well that the executive is
Pledged 'to oppose even to a civil war, such a concession, and
that in the two Houses of Legislation there is no chance of a
good minority, much less a majority, in its favour. Having-no
hope, therefore, from the Parliament, this force is to be mar-
shalled under its captains of tens and of thousands. For what,
we ask the wealthy and respectable, is this done? Is it to give
an humble petition weight ? Is it to urge by the slow process of
reason the question of repeal to legislative consummation? We
answer, such is not the object promised from the formation of
such a corps. Men who love order will do well to ask them-
selves what is the object of such a body? We have no doubt
that the answer to such an interrogatory will clearly point out
the position in which the volunteers may soon be placed. To
determine the influential and, the wise as to the course they
should pursue : this, we think, will be quite sufficient.—Dublin
Times.
