DESPERATE OUTRAGE ; ATTACKING DWELLINGS.-011
Saturday morning last, at the hour of three o'clock, George
Armstrong, steward of James Jocelyn, Esq., was aroused
from his bed by the harking of the dogs at Derrinvohill, near
Borrisokane, and on opening a window at the extreme front
of the house, and putting his head out to see what caused the

long sub-

at the other extremity of the
stantial comfortable farm house, with the entrance door in
the centre, and if Armstrong had happened to have opened it,
he was to a certainty a dead man. A threatening notice was
left, and Mr. Poe has offered a reward of 4.:50 for the convic-
tion a the person who committed this daring outrage. On
Sunday night the Shinrone police, under the orders of Sub.

The soundness of the policy of allowing these Works to be
still carried on, with the view of preventing a riot, has been
shown by the subsequent facts. On learning the news of the

failure, the utmost consternation arose at the works, and on
Saturday morning the men assembled to the number of se-
veral thousands in a tumultuous manner, so that the mana-
gers were obliged to send to stop any messengers of the
Bankruptcy Court from coming to the works to make the
seizure of the property, as they considered their lives would
be endangered if they attempted to do so. Mr. Gadbury,

the clerk to the messenger, accompanied by assistants, to
take possession, were the❑ stepped on their arrival at Trede-
gar ; and having consulted Mr. liornfray, a magistrate of

the count

upon t

cleric should be sent forward with the money which they had
to pay the men's wages, and that placards in English and

carr►et.
This having produced a peaceful effect upon the assembled
multitude, at eleven o'clock at night the messengers we
onmhled to reach the works and take possession, tiler('

e being

then as many as 5,0(10 persons assembled. Some idea may
be formed of the extensive nature of the works of Messrs.
Harford, Davies, and Co., by the following description :
The Sirrhowy and Ebbw-vale works cover ground nearly
five miles in length, and consist of—at Sirrhowy, an im-
mense store filled with linen drapery, groceries, and provi-
sions of all sorts ; five furnaces, three of which are cold
blast ones, and at work, and one out of work ; three refine.
ries ; from ten to twelve managers' houses ; several mines of
ore and coal; about 390 dwelling-houses, beershovs. &c.,
and two steam-engines of 200-horse power each. At Ebbw-

vale, thre are three cold-blast furnaces at work, and one out
of work, making each about 100 tons of iron per week ; two

three at work

six locomotive railroad engines; about 700

under ground ; sixteen iron and coal wines and twenty levels,
two large railing mills, with two engines of sixty-six horse

power each ; smith

shops and immense pattern houses;
_ store for provisions, &c., at which thirty shopmcn were
employed, and selling about 100 sacks of flour and a ton of
bacon per week ; Sirrhowy.liouse, with its park and grounds ;
several managers' houses; an adjacent church for the men at
the works ; three chapels ; two uublic-schools one inn

. .
thirteen beer-houses; and upwards of 700 dwelling-houses
The number of men now on the books, as employed

these works. is 3,400, but with their wives and families, and
those immediately dependent upon them, forming a popula-
tion of nearly 11,000 persons.
It is intended that one of- the furnaces at each place shall
be immediately blown out, and one of the refineries and the
rolling mills are to be out upon linlf..wrl:
