THE STATESMAN

RENEWED OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

(PROD TR6 CORK CHRONICLE.)

Coen, SEPT. 27.1 i is, indeed, with unfeigned
regret that we have to advert to the disordered state
of many parishes in the northern parts of this county ;
we do not wish to excite aocallel for alarm, bat we
would propose directing the attention of his :tlajes•y's
Government to the true cause of these lamentable
outrages. which we hoped the examples made to the
offended laws of the land, and the unceasing ever-
!ions of the Catholic Clergymen throughout the coun-
try, would have put an en f to.
In endearoneing to obtain irf>rmation as to the
cause that has kindled this flame in the country. we
have deemed it wressary to to frf to those whose gene•
, rul knowledge of istitnation enables them to give
l it in a fair and unprejudiced manner; and judging
1 front their several communications, as well as front
the proceedings which daily occur, there is so doubt
entertained that the Tithe System, and its abase,
is now the primary cause which leads to all these

outrages.
Scarcely a night passes without some confligration
of tithe corn, or •n outrage connected with the sys-
tem. Those farmers who bad purchased their tithe
corn, and even had made it op in their !laggards, have
been compelled to unmake their stacks, and draw it
back to the fields, under the penalty of the most severe
punishment; and where some poor men bad hired
their horses for the purpose of rrtnoviug the tithe,
vengeance has folloWed, by barlaarously heaghing
and maiming these animals.
At this moment there remain throughout that dia-
..

trict, several quantities of the corn, for which agree-
ments bad been made by the grower with the proc-
tor ; but such is the terror that is spend, that all
those arrangements are annulled on the part of the
fanner, who dare not take one sheaf of it into his pos-
session. Such is the statement we are now obliged
to offer ; it is much to be lamented ; it calls loudly for
some permanent measure, that will restore peace and
tracquillity to the country, and put to an end all those
horrible excesses.

A haggard, nithin a quarter of a mile of Itlsllow,
was set tire to and consumed on Monday night. The
patrol on Sunday night, in traversin: the country in
the direction of Buttevant, reckoned three fires in dif-
ferent directions. The utmost alarm consequently
prevails in that neighbonettaml.

Tae Dees or DEVONSHIRC—This patriotic and
distinguished Nnhleman arrived at Mount Shannon,
the seat of the Ertl of Clare, on last Thursday. On
yesterday he visited this city, accompanied by the
Earl of Clare, and Lord °Megan, with a numerous
suite. After visiting the Lord Bishop of Limerick,
they drove through the town, and having viewed
every object worthy of notice, the party returned to
Mount Shearon, from whence his Grace proCeeds to
Carton, in the County Masse. We were happy to
see the Noble Deka in excellent health and spirits. Its
apperred highly gratified with our eity. and expressed
himself to that effect to his Noble Ftlead.—(Limeriek
?deg raph.)
0 I Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. Bret. arrived
here on Fri It from Salishorn' Aail .10th Mr. Bourne;
and other gentlemen ortfisrarairs orTifirillll7;so
tended a Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, on
the Mail Coach Contract between this city and Duhlia.

We understand that his Majesty wroM a most gra-
cious invitation to the Marquess Conyngliam. request-
ing his presence at Craton flops.: the noble Mar-
quess, in consequence, immediately sailed for Eng-
land to attend his Majesty.—(DaLlin Morning Post.)

Baton row PALACE.—.." It will be remembered,
says a Brighton Correspondent, " that the King pur-
chased the line of houses from Church-street to Marl-
borough House, with the exception of the corner house
and a blacksmith's shop, die owner of which thinking
that they could not be dispensed with, demanded a
most shameful price. By an Act of Parliament his
:Jajesty could have compelled hint to sell at a fair
valuation, bot this be disdained to do, and they re-
main io the same possession ; but within the last few
weeks, and during the absence of his Majesty, a wall
has been run up between the King's Louse and the
house in question, which effectually shuts out all sight
or communication. This retallisting spirit, however
just, is beneath a King. And we rejoice to say, that
his Majesty knows nothing of the matter. There is,
therefore, reason to expect that the wall will be re-
moved on his return to Brighton, which we. need not
say is anxiously desired."
VICit•REGAL CLIMENCY.—An appeal from the
friends of a convict, named David Lillis, who was sen-
w Iced to death at the last Cork Assizes, reached the
hands of Government on Thursday last the 26th inst.
The execution of the criminal was appointed to take
place this day, at twelve o'clock. Little time was
therefore Irorded for the due consideration of the case
of the wretched man, for the report of the Judge by
whom lie had been tried, and fur the subsequent de-
cision of the Lord Lieutenant. Still, the deep anxiety
of Government to compass this nh y procedere,
in the short period afforded them, enabled the humane
Marquess Wellesley to extend the Koyal clemency te
the criminal; and a reprieve was in consequence
transmitted to Cork, by a special messenger, on 's hors.
day night. It must have reached the High Sheriff
yesterday afternoon.—(Petriot of Satardall.)
On Monday, the 16th ult., at Whithorn, in Galloway.
James Connochar murdered his own infant, under OP
curustaaces the most distressing and peculiar. Ile mar.
rind a servant girl some lime ago, who, it is believed,
took hint for a livelihood, as he was stricken in years,
and had amassed a sum weeding six hundred pounds,
which report adds be always kept in the house, with the
character of a misogamist, and habits moat wretchedly
miserly. Daring his wife's pregnancy he bad often been
itcsrl to say —" That he did net know whether she was
with child, or whether It was a toad or baby ; but if the
latter, he would soon put an end to its existerre !" His
wife was sal •ly delivered of a tine boy, at the Isle of
Whithorn, on Sunday morning. the 15th alt., and when
4101%101e cull, he took and kissed it. Next lay, bow-
ever, eaten Vie strangers were gone, be went to his young
wife and as :ea for the baby till she should turn herself
in bed. He then took the child up stairs, and inhumanly
murdered is by compressing the throat. In the mean•
imp, the mother bearing the infant scream, ran up
stairs, weak as she was, hut before she could burst open
the door, w tick her husband had previously bolted, the
little ineoce it was no more. A precognition was tfIICII
by the Sheri r sod the ennenrat was
ommitted to Whithoro gaol.—(Olasgoto Paper.)
