THE INTEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—Numberofdrunk-
ards committed to Cork Bridewell during the month of
November, 1843, 245. Number of drunkards committed
to Bridewell by the police during the corresponding
month in last year, 130. Increase, 115.

REDUCTION OF RENTS.—The Marquis of Hertford,
now on the Continent, has given directions that there
shall be a reduction of from 20 to 30 per cent. on the
rents of his extensive estates in the counties of Antrim
and Down, from the Ist of November, 1843.

THE FINNOE MASSACRE.—It is rumoured in Tipper-
ary, and confidently beleived, that one of the maid ser-
vants of Mr. Waller has turned Queen's evidence, and
declared that she opened the door to the murderers, whose
names she has disclosed. There seems some grounds for
giving credit to the rumour.—Dublin Statesman
REPEAI

MAYORS.-At Cork, on Friday week, Alder;
man. Wrn. Fagan was elected mayor for the ensuing year,
by a majority of forty to eleven be is a repealer; and the

conservatives mean to memoralize the lord lieutenant
sgainst his appointment.—At Waterford, Mr. Thomas
Meagher, a repealer, is re-elected mayor for the ensuing

Captain George de la Poer Beresford, late M.P. for
Athlone, was brought up on his petition in the Insolvent
Debtors Court, Dublin, on Wednesday week. There are
158 creditors in the schedule, for £41,000, including Mr.

Columbine, solicitor, London, for £7,C00. The case was
postponed, with a view to arrangement, to the 12th of
February.

DUBLIN CONSTITUENCY.—The official report of the
City of Dublin conservative Registration Society for the
last year, just published, states that the gross majority of
the conservatives over whigs and repealers united in 1300,
being an increase of 600 upon the majority of 700 by which
Mr. Gregory beat Lord Morpeth in 1842. If the like at-
tention had been paid to the municipal registry, the tories
might have kept the corporation in their hands.
A BRUTAL ATTACK.—A very benevolent lady, Mrs.
Vaughan Lloyd, while passing in her carriage near 'Shin-
roue, on Tuesday last, was pelted at by a party of men
who were digging in a field athe way side. The splash-
board was smashed, and the coachman, finding that the
attack was becoming both serious and sanguinary, gave
the horses the whip, and succeeded in leaving the ruffians
in the distance.

The Dublin Evening Mail publishes a number of let-
ters, which show that much alarm prevails among the
Protestants at rumours of an intended insurrection.
Some of the writers boast that they would resist attacks
on their houses. The alarm appears to be genuine,
whatever the cause for it may be. At Sligo, Castlebar,
and Ballintra, military precautions were redoubled last
week ; it is supposed on account of similar rumours.
THE REPEAL AGITATION.—Mr. O'Connell was not
present at the repeal meeting on Monday. The head
pacificator took the chair—urged the people to peace, and
hinted an apprehension of the probability of the liberator
being incarcerated. A number of subscriptions were an-
nounced from America, and one from Liverpool. Mr.J.
O'Connell spoke strongly against ribandism, and was fol
lowed in the same strain by Mr. Barrett, Mr. J. O'Con-
nell also eulogised the arbitration system. The week's
rent was stated to be £994 lls. sd.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE " TRAVERSERS."—The Rev.
Peter James Tyrrel, P.P., of Lusk, county Dublin, and
one of the nine individuals charged with "conspiracy and
other misdemeanours," died of erysipelas at an early hour
on Monday morning. The deceased bad formerly officiated
as curate in James's parish, in Dublin. It is pretty ge-
nerally asserted that the anxiety induced by the impending
state prosecutions contributed not a little towards the
fatal termination of his illness. The deceased was up-
wards of fifty-three years of age.

INNOCENT AMUSEMENT.—The following (hays the
Cork Constitution) is written in large red letters, on the
Rev. Mr. Herbert's coach-house, door at Rathrnore
Cross :

1804—commencement of our woes.
1844—destruction of our foes.
Let all remember '9B !!!
In addition to this harmless hint, there is written in the
same locality, in similar large red letters, on a wall ad-
joining Alderman Lyons's residence, Summerhill—
