EMELJTE IN THE NORTH

I regret to state that the report of a serious riot near Dun-
gannon, referred to in my letter of the Ist inst., is unfortu-
nately but too true. I have seen a letter this day confirm-
ing in every particular the details of the previous account,
adding that the number of houses " wrecked" by the anti-
repeaters exceeds what was at first supposed, there heifer 48
cabins destroyed instead of 35. The damage is not estimated
beyond £lOO. as the dwellings were of the most wretched
description ; but this is, of course, no palliation for so lawless
a method of retaliating an injury, real or imaginary. The
Protestant party allege in their defence that the Roman
Catholics were the first aggressors, they having attacked
•a body of Killyman men while passing through the village
of Carland ; that they broke a drum and a man's arm
at one and the same time, and this, too, without the
slightest provocation on the part of the Protestants be-
yond the marching in procession, accompanied by military
music. Up to a late hour last night no official report of this
outrage had reached the Castle, and, strange to say, al-
though the Dublin papers hale each their own version of
the affair,the northern journals make no allusion whatever to
the matter. The following is an account given of the trans-
action by the correspondent of an evening Whig paper. The
name of the village of " Carney" is, I apprehend, a misprint
for " Carland," the real name of the scene of actior. :—" It
has been the habit of the repeaters to hold monthly meetings
at the village of Carney, for the purpose of collecting the
repeal rent and organizing members. Their proceedings
I understand, were invariably chacterized by the most
perfect order, and the total avoidance of anything that could
. give offence to those of different political opinions, among
whom you are aware I rank. On Tuesday last, one of The
usual meetings was announced, and shortly before it was to
take place a body of men, numbering probably 10.000 or
more, armed with guns, swords, and other offensive weapons
with several bands of music, playing " Protestant Boys,"
Croppies lie down,' and similar tunes, marched from Dun-
gannon in perfect military order to the devoted village. On
seeing such a dangerous host approach, the Roman Catholics
fled. The armed mob entered the village, and having broken
into all the houses and cottages, in search of the Roman Ca-
holies, and being most fortunately disappointed to a great
extent, they smashed all the furniture, the windows: the
doors, in fact, everything breakable within their reach, and
pulled down to the ground upwards of 60 dwellings in which
nearly one hundred fainalies resided. They shouted with joy
at their victory, and marched back again after their bonds
in the same military order in which they approached. The
magistrates—some of whom have been charged with conni-
ving at this shameful outrage—will hold a public inuestiga-
tion on Saturday at Dungannon. Great excitement prevails,
but there is a strong force of military and police in the

neighbourhood."
7 o'clock.—The Dublin Gazelle, this instant published,
contains a proclamation, dated this day, offering a reward of
£lOO for the detection of the perpetrators of the foregoing
outrage, but adding nothing to the stock of information
already known as to the cause which led to its commission.
It runs us follows : _ _

" Dublin Castle, June 2

" Whereas it has been represented to the Lord-Lieutenant
that, on the 30th ult., several houses in the towulands of Lis-
boy, Carland, Feroy, and Creeragh, situate in the parish of
Dotiaghmore, and county of Tyrone, were considerably in-
jured by an assemblage of persons, about 4,000 in number,
his Excellency, for the' better apprehending and bringing to
justice the perpetrators of this outrage, is pleased hereby to
offer a reward of £lOO to any person or persons (except the
person or persons who actually committed the same) who
shall, within six months from the date hereof, give such in-

formation as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of
and proportionably for one or more, of the persons
concerned therein.

Tun DUBLIN CORPORATION TREASURER.---The Great
Western steamer had arrived in New York on the morning
of the 12th oh.; among the list of passengers were Mr. Finn
and lady. The Hibernia, which sailed from Boston on the
16th. met in the harbour the Caledonia going out ; and as it
would be quite impossible for Mr. Cox, who was on board,
to have reached New York by railway before the 17th, it
follows that Mr. Finn would have a start of five clear days
upon him.

TH MONES OF LA THA PP .-Asa proof of the increas-
ing wealth of the Monks of La Trappe, loomed in the county

were expelled from France. Telford, of Dublin. is at this
moment making an organ for La Trappe, which will cost
£;80. The people of that neighbourhood must be either
very rich or in poverty, as the Trappist community are grow-
ing rich on the industry of the population.—Carlow Senti-
nel.

O'CONNELL AND THE FTTNDS.—Connected with the late
agitation in the lands, and the "agitation" in Ireland as the
assigned cause of it, a correspondent of the London Times
puts this query,—" Could some of your city reader• inform
us whether some one of the Iri•h banks has not lately sold a
very large suet in Consols for money and account? Has the
uyilalion anything to do with this ? Dan alludes to the fall
in Consols, perhaps it ix business as well as peaceful uyilalion
he is looking to—l am told it is !" More wonderful things
than this have turned out to be true, and it must be owned
that O'Connell's career as a banker, considering that he hail
no " training to the business," has been a very successful
one. Some of his rivals know to their cost how closely his
influence as a popular leader and his operations in banking
have heretofore been connected.

DREADFUL AssAur.T.—On Friday last a desperate con-
flict took place between a recruit of the name of Riordan and
a man named Johnson, the former being supposed to be on
terms of ituptoper intimacy with Johnson's wife. When
they met Johnson asked for his wife, and Riordan denied
knowing where she was, when Johnson inflicted ten stabs on
him besides cuts In the hands. That from which immediate
danger is apprehended is in the lower region of the abdomen,
and was apparently given with the intention of ripping open

STRANGE AND ROMANTIC STORY. - A correspondent,
who writes from Ballnhaderrine, county of Mayo, and with
whose name we are acquainted, sends us the following strange
details :—" Balaghadcrrine, May 2.5, 1843.—Yesterday the
inhabitants of this town were annoyed by an announcement
that there was a woman in custody who had served as servant
man in this town for upwards of six ❑months, and was known
by nearly all the inhabitants as the greet lady killer. In fact,
this person could not stand at the house door but the girls
would flock about him ; and so jealous were they of each

other, that one of them was tined by the magistrates of this
district some time since for scandal, arising out of this strange
partiality. On being. examined yesterday by Surgeon Dillon,
and one of the magistrates of the Ballaghaderrine Petit Ses-
sions, the following facts were elicited ;—The name of the
supposed man was Catherine Willy; that she had been mar-
ria,l to Michael ()'Malley, of Binghanes; that. she had lived

him for five years, and bad borne one child ; through
bad treatment sine was driven to adopt the resolution of leav-
ing him, and is now 18 months away from hint. On leaving
her native place she went direct to and purchased
man's apparel, in Is hich she dressed, and then proceeded to
Hallagbaderrine, where she was hired as a servant. In the

course of three or four months servam in love
with tho assumed man ; they plighted troth, and were joined
in Hymen's bonds. They are married now four months, and
the only excuse—but no, we shall leave this part to the ima-
gination of our readers. They are both detained in custody
until Monday, the nest petty sessions day at Ballaghader-
rine."—Dublin Journal.

grounds of aPPre-

beti;on, that the magistracy of tti!s and the adjoining coun-
ties of Pembroke and Gardion will be obliged to place the
whole district under military srveillan!e. From attacking
and destroying turnpike gates situated in remote and unfre-
quented parts of the country, these violent men proceeded
daring ; and at length, e

CAplUita - •
day morning last, attacked and completely destroyed one of
at
rte o:tii-
,
t:
the gates of the. county town—Carmarthen. It appears by
the statement of the toll-collector of Water-street Gate (the

aboutSu r
the residence of Captain Davies, a borough magistrate.
Their leader, " Ttebecca," who is easily distinguished by his
Water-street, Saturday e nn
extraordinary stature. was attired in female clothing, and
proceeded with a sort of body-guard to enter the toll-house.
He. then gave directions " to smash the windows and unroof
the house." The windows were instantly beaten down, and
they were proceeding to unroof the house, when the wife of
the toll-collector rushed forward to the mysterious leader of
the band, and entreated him to spare the house for the sake
of her dying child, whit lay ill up stairs. The man seemed
moved by this appeal, and proceeded to the bedside of the
invalid, when finding the statement of the mother to be cor-
iect, he gave orders " to stay oroceedines," as far as the toll-
house wits concerned. Previous to leaving the house he
asked whether the furniture belonged to the collector or to
the trust ; when he was informed that they were the property
of the collector. He said in that case they should not be
injured. The gatekeeper was then ordered to keep inside
the house, and not to venture out if he valued his life. They,
however, took the additional precaution of placing two senti-
nel' at the door. They then commenced their attack upon
the gates, which were very speedily destroyed, although they
were made of the strongest Welsh oak-20 inches in diame-
ter, and firmly fixed in the ground. The lamp-post and iron
wicket-gate were also destroyed, and the masonry to which
they were attached was also torn to pieces. During their
proceedings they tired off several volleys, whether intended
as signsls to some distant associates or as acts of defiance or
exultation, we hardly know. Several of the more hardy of
the inhabitants attempted to approach the scene of violence,
but were sternly ordered by the sentinels to stand back.
After demolishing the gate they obliged the toll-collector
to make a promise that he would not take toll from any per-
son again. They also stated it to be their determination to
raze the Carmai then workhouse with the 'ground in August
Attracted by the tiring of guns, the town police were
soon on the spot, but wisely kept at a respectful distance,
as unquestionably had they interfered their lives would have
been sacrificed. As a finale, " Rebecca" and her riotous
progeny gave three hearty cheers, fired their guns, and sud-
denly disappeared. The borough magistrates held a meeting
in the course of the day, and took down the depositions of
several persons, which were forwarded the same evening to
Sir James Graham, secretary of state. _ ,

It must by this time be pretty evident that the efforts of
the county constabulary are totally inadequate to make head
against this dangerous and far-spread conspiracy. Strange
rumours are afloat respecting this renowned " Rebecca,"
who evidently is a mall posse sing eery considerable influence
over the minds of his folloWers. Every outrage is of a more
daring nature than the preceding one, and we fear, unless
some prompt measures be taken by• the government, they
will proceed from levelling turnpike-gates to acts of a more
desolating character.
