STATE OF IRELAND. •

--•••••••••--.
CARLOW, Nov. 15.—As a proof that the lower
orders of the people are not so much disposed to resist
the laws as some persons may imagine, we think it
not amiss to state the following fact, which occurred
within our own observation, not long since :—A few
days previous to that Meeting of the Magistrates,
which induced Government to send a Police to the
Barony of Rathvilly, two tithe process-servers were
attacked in the middle of the day, and severely beaten ;
they were also warned not to come any more upon
such expeditions. In this state of affairs a Magistrate
determined to go, himself, to the lands, and with a
party of the military, took the process-servers under
his protection. On arriving at the borders of
the disaffected parish, the party was halted, and the
Magistrate proceeded, with the constables, to some of
the farmer's houses, where he explained the nature of
the business on which they came, and proclaimed, in
the hearing of several persons who had assembled on
the occasion, " that they should have every justice
done them, on the several trials, with liberty of ap-
pealing to the General Quarter Sessions, if they should
feel dissatisfied with the decision." As soon as this
declaration was made, one of the ring-leaders of the
opposition took the process-servers by the hands, and
having conducted them to the houses of the defendants
stood by while they were served, and then brought the
men back in safety to the Magistrate ! This fact
speaks a volume; and me do think, that if the people
were once convinced that they had nothing to fear
from the mal-administration of the law, they would
submit more cheerfully to its decisions At all events,
a conciliatory conduct, and personal exertion of the
country Gentlemen, are worth the trial :—an impar-
tial report of the alleged causes of discontent might,
perhaps, open the best channels for the removal of
them ; and a residence of the landlords woul.l, we
doubt not, tend to tranquillise the minds of their te-
nantry more than any other means which could be
suggested.—(Carlow Morning Post,)
On Tuesday last the grand division of that highly
distinguished corps, the 2d battalion of the rifle bri-
gade marched through this town. Fermoy is its pre-
sent destination, as is supposed ; however, from the
disturbed state of the county of Cork, they will pro-
ceed to Mallow, that being a more central point. It
evinces a strong determination on the part of Govern-
ment to take the most decisive steps for the restoration
of tranquillity ; from the nature of their service, we
know not a regiment mere capable of seconding their
efforts, than this now about to be employed, as their
appearance in the county Galway, during the ribbon
System, tended much to induce the peasantry to return
to their accustomed occupations, as well as to relieve
the fears of the resident gentry in that county.—(ldeas.)
LIMCRICK, Nov. 13.—The house of Mr. John
Grady, of Doringstown, was again attacked on Son.'
day night last, by an armed body of men, who, we are
sorry to say, succeeded in depriving him of his arms.
They threatened to burn his house if he did not give
diem up.
A few nights since, about eight o'clock, a party of
armed men entered the house of Robert Hewson, Esq.
at Goughal, in this county, and plundered it of every
portable ankle—they iireaCks'irbil'lt Welt dettbeealety.
having placed sentinels on the &or of each of his
workmen's houses, until they effected their purpose.—
they then fired a shot, and went off. It was rather
unfortunate that Mr. Hewson was from home, or they
would have got a warm reception.
Between the hours of two and three o'clock last
night, upwards of a hundred of those deluded ma-
rauders came to the Toll-house at Groody Turnpike.
and requested to have the gate opened, and when the
keeper got up to perform it, they rushed into his
house, and took his blunderbuss, and wanted to get
more fire-arms, and when be assured them he had not
any more,. they diligently searched the house, and
finding none, they went off in the direction of New-
castle.—(Libneriek Telegraph.)
Tun YEOMANRY.—The Government have resolved
to avail themselves of the services of the Yeomanry in
the North of Ireland, and have intimated their wishes
upon the subject, through the different brigade Majors.
On Tuesday last a communication to this effect was
made to Colonel Blacker's battalion of Yeomanry, in
the county of Armagh ; it was received with three
cheers, sad an unanimous determination to extend their
services to any part of the kintdom. This fine body
of men are between three and four hundred strew,. and
hare long been distinguished for appearance, discipline
anti general efficiency. The intention of Government.
is. to employ the Yeomanry in garrison duty, and by
this means be enabled to bring a greater number of
the regular troops to act in the iitturbed
fPatriot.)
