FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE

—On Sunday night week,
during the wake at a corpse on the loft of one of the
houses in Limerick, the floor gave way in the centre, and
the entire were precipitated to the floor beneath, which

also gave way, and all came to the under floor or kitchen
with a tremendous crash, when nine women (three of
whom were advanced i❑ pregnancy) and one man were
killed.

A reverend orator at Cork said, a day or two since,
with reference to the interference of the Pope with the
repeal agitation, " I tell the people of Ireland, and I tell

the bishops, they must go with the people. I tell them
that neither Peel nor the Pope, nor Peter. nor all the P's,
the parish priests and the prelates together, could put
down the liberty of the people of Ireland, when they are
united."

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—The Clare Journal records
the death of a little boy who followed the gentlemen of
the Clare hunt for a long way on foot, attracted by the ex-
citement and pleasure of the chr.se. He travelled so far
from home, however, that getting fatigued and losing his

way, he lay down in a field-when-ni2hr came on. There
he 1,1 the entire night, exposed to all the inclemency of
the weather. Next morning he was found still alive, but
whilst being conveyed to a place for proper treatment, he
expired.

MURDER OF A STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE.—The
Erne Packet of Thursday announces the distressing intel-
-e that Captain M'Leocl, RAI., who was on tempo-
- at Ballinamore, county Leitrim. from tmat

rary duty

town, was shot dead on the previous night at Garradise,
near Ballinamore, the residence of Mr. Percy, with whom
he was dining. Captain M'Leod left about one o'clock,
on an outside car, and coming out of t

fired at and shot dead on the spot. Few gentlemen hava
ever discharged the duiies of an important situation with
more credit th❖n he has done. Captain M'Leod was for
a period of twenty years a distinguished officer of Folice,
as resp,-cted for his firmness and temper as beloved for
his kindness and humanity. Located for many years i❑
Tipperary, he escaped the ill-will, as well as the blunder-
buss, of the assassins there, and, with a strange uncer-
tainty of fortune, was reserved for "the wild justice" of
