ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER.

Letters received in town yesterday, from the neigh-
bourhood of Kanturk, mention the as•aasinatidn of

Captain Waters. who lived near the town of New-
market. This dreadful deed was perpetrated onion

day night last, and the letter which communicates the
intelligence wet Written the following day. We have
not learned the particulars.
KILKENNY, Nov. 29.--A letter from a military
friend in the County of Limerick informs us, that no
piquet service in the Pyrennees, or throughout the Pe-
ninsular war equalled the harrassing duty which be
and his companions experience in that county. Ihe
management of the insurgents exceeds all belief. A
few nights ago a very strong military force scoured
the disturbed district, in a circle of IS miles, in se*rch
of arms, and their trophies were—an oh! rusty sword
and a hog duck gun! " Jack Rock," who is at once the
leader and his secretary, writes his threatenings and his
warnings from so many places far distant from each
other that he misleads and harmers the military beyond
measure by his apparent obiquity.

One man, of the name of Murphy has bees corn•
milted to Maryborough gaol, accused of the murder of
Murphy, near Gsllabill. The prisoner is brother
of the man who was transported for sheep stealing on
the evidence of the deceased ; but though of the same
name. be is no relative of the murdered.
Two persons of the name of Campion, two of Ryan,
two of Phelan, and one of Cummins, have, we under.
stand, been arrested by that sealous and active Po-
lice Magistrate, Major Nicolson, charged with the
murder of George Brophy, at Eirke, iu December
last. The Campions and Ryans are not strangers
to our County gaol, and the brother of Cummins is
now in prison at blaryborough, under a rule of trans-
portation.
On Friday night last, a threatening notice was af-
fixed to the door of the dwelling-house of Edmond
Butler, at Claahacrow, near Freshford, the estate of
Lord Harwarden. Butler's offence was this, if offence
it may be called ; a field of his had been let by him
to a man of the name of Duggan, who lived in Fresh-
ford ; Duggan was removing to another part of the
minty, and Butler, his landlord, gave him some mo-
sey for his interest in the very field which he before
bad let to him. This is the crime for which a no-
tice was posted on his door, commanding him to have
nothing to do with his own land. Was ever any thing
heard equal to this ? Is it possible that any ;won in
the County could be guilty cf such an act ? or are
there emissaries among the community who are paid
for this kind of work ? We wish some of our corres-
pondents would give us their opinion on the subject.

able address, on Sunday morning, cautioned his au-
ditors and parishioners again-. 'cind ' conduct,

On Tuesday night last, the High Sherif, General
Barry, with a party of the Rifle Brigade, arrived at
Kildorrery. is the act of patrolling that part of the
county, and
,bad they been in half an hoar noses;
would have come up with a gang of miscreants, sup-
posed about one-hundred and fifty in number, molt of
