THE CHURCH.—In stating that the Rev. Mr. Balfour had
recently succeeded the Rev. Cobbe Beresford in the benefice
held by the latter, we fell into a mistake which we are happy
to corect. Mr. Beresford is alive and well, and, to the great
consolation of his friends and parishioners, in the full enjoy-
ment of his benefice. We trust it will be long ere any event
but his promotion to a better will leave his preferment vacant.
We learn, upon creditable authority, that the Honourable
and Venerable Henry Packenham, Archdeacon of Emly,
uncle of the present Earl of Longford, and brother-in-law of
his Grace the Duke of Wellington, is to succeed Dr. Daly.
the new bishop of Cashel and Waterford, in the Deanery of
St. Patrick's. Dublin Evening Mail.

AUDACIOUS OUTRAGE.—A daring outrage was committed
in this county, which is, happily, generally remarkable for
its tranquility, last Sunday morning. At half-past four
o'clock on that morning, the household of that amiable and
most inoflensive clergyman, the Rey. Charles Foster, Rector
of Termoneeny, near Portglenone, were awoke from sleep by
hearing the lobby window smashed with stones. The ladies
of the family were greatly alarmed by this attack, particularly
one of them who was in delicate health, and whose lite was
endangered by the fright she suffered. The cause of the out-
rage was explained in a notice which was attached at the same
time to the knocker of the hall door ' it threatened punish-
ment 'without mercy to Mr. Foster, ifhe did not immediately
withdraw the authority he had a few days previously given to
a respectable person in the neighbourhood, a Protestant, to
collect his rents.—Be/fast Paper.
MYsTERiOUs CASE OF SUPPOSED NIURDER.-41t
early hour on Friday, the body of a man, who, there 1 3 1
grounds for apprehending, hac lsf ;1 Mmost
Wni n
b:nrenithngeh victim n
limekiln,, a
near this city. The discovery was made by a boy, who
stated that he proceeded about six o'clock in the morning to
the limekiln, when he perceived a strong smell of burning
flesh proceeding from the kiln. He says it at once occurred
to him that some of his employer's ducks might have fallen
into the fire, and he accordingly hastened towards the doqr
of the kiln, on opening which he was horrified at beholding
the body of a dead man, with the throat frightfully cut,
stretched on the top of the burning mass. Assistance was
instantly procured and the corpse taken from the fire, in
which, from its appearance, it could not have been lying for
many minutes. The fingers of the right hand and the right
foot are.much burned, but the head and trunk appear to have
sustained but little injury from the fire. The wound on the
throat extends from the windpipe to the right ear, and is such
as in a case of suicide would appear only could have been
given by a left-handed person. The general impression
among the spectators is, that the murder had been committed
at some distance away, and that the body was afterwards
conveyed to the limekiln with the intention of having it con-
sumed before any discovery would take place.—Dublin
paper.—The body has since been identified ; and from the
fact of all the private papers and letters of the deceased
having been destroyed on the Saturday previous, it is sus-
pected that the young man destroyed himself.
MURDER.—We are pained to state that murder was per-
petrated here on Sunday, under the following circumstances.
Between one and two o'clock, a man named Charles M`Kay;
who was in the employment of a ham-curer in the city, and
resided in the house of a Mrs. Tinney, or M'Kenzie, in the
Old Wynd, disagreed with his wife, and, while she was
standing at the window, he seized a ham knife, and stabbed
her in the left leg, nearly at the groin. The wounded woman
fell, and never spoke afterwards. Medical aid was called in.
but it was of no avail; and in the meantime, the policeman
on the station having heard of the deed, came and appre-
hended M`Kay. The female died within an hour and a half
afterwards, and when the fatal crisis was announced to
M`Kay (who was now in the Police-office), he was seized
with the utmost horror and remorse. The pair, we have
been informed, had been out drinking in the morning, and
their quarrel was about a very trifling circu nstance. The
parties are not more than 27 years of age each ; and so soon
as death was reported, the body of the woman was carried to
the Police-office, for medical inspection. The knife with
which the wound was inflicted was brought away by the po-
liceman. It is a butcher's knife, much ground 'down, and
veay sharp at the poiut ; and it is evident, from the result,
that it must have divided a vital vein or artery. On Tuesday
the body was examined by Drs. Easton, Crawford, and
Miller, and we learn that, in addition to the wound which
was the proximate cause of death, there were found a great
number of contusions on various parts of the person, -which
might have been produced by kicks or blows. M`Kay has
been examined by the magistrates, and he does not, we be-
lieve, make any attempt at denial.—Glasgow
ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—Another of those " necessary
accidents," as the Newry Examiner playfully remarked
when commenting on the horrid murder of Mr. Scully-, is
thus chronicled by a Birr correspondent of the Lenster Ex-
press. A reward of £BO is offered by the Lord-Lieutenant
for the discovery of the miscreants concerned in the outrage :
—" Truly (says the Express) this county bids fair to become
even more notorious than Tipperary, where 'crimes unptirel-
leled for brutality and atrocity have been almost daily com-
mitted. Let us hope that this is but an isolated case, and
we have every reason to hope it is, for, in point of fact, a
crime of so heinous and diabolical nature has not been com-
mitted in this locality for many years. Such ferocious
attempts on the lives of-unoffending- victim's have" been
hitherto chiefly confined to the neighbourhood of 'Morley-
gall. The particulars of the case are as follows :—On !the
night of Tuesday last, the 13th instant; about the flour
of half-past seven o'clock, a party of six armed men came
to the dwelling-house of a farmer named William Young,
at Ratligibbon, within three miles of Parsonstown ; Young
and his family were at the time sitting round the fire ;
three of the party remained outside, no doubt to give
the alarm should any persons chance to approach the
house ; the other three entered, two of whom were armed
with a pistol and a dagger each, and the other with a blun-
derbuss. Orr going in one of the fellows ordered Young to
come upon the middle of the floor ; the ruffian with the
blunderbuss placed Young's wife and children in a room, on
which he remained as a sentinel during this murderous
attack. On Young complying with the mandate, the two
fellows presented their pistols at him, both providentially
burned priming. Seeing they had failed in thus accomplish-
ing their object, one of the miscreants struck poor Young a
violent blow with his pistols on the head, which inflicted a
large wound and felled him to the floor. On seeing this,
Young's eldest daughter, a girl about sixteen years of age,
who had up to the present remained unnoticed by the fellow
with the blunderbuss, threw herself between the villains and
her father, exclaiming, ' Spare my poor father to his small
children, and murder me!' With unrelenting rancour and
hellish perseverance, the vile and unmanly wretches fell upon
her, tore her garments and the hair from her head, and in-
flicted no less than four large wounds on her arms with their
daggers. In the struggle one of them also stabbed Young
in the neck, and inflicted a dangerous wound. Seeing him
and his horoic daughter lying insensible on the floor welter-
ing in their blood, and no doubt thinking they had fully
completed their bloody and fiendish design, they were about
to leave the house, when the ruffian armed with the blunder-
buss, who, up to that moment had done nothing except to
keep the wife and children in a room, seemed determined
that he would close this tragical and heart-rending scene,
and discharged his blunderbuss at his unoffending victims.
Fortunately be aimed a little too high, and consequently the
contents of his piece lodged in the opposite wall. They then
departed. During the conflict Young repeatedly asked what
he bad done? The only reply he got was, ' They would
murder him, and his family should quit that neighbourhood
on the following morning.' The only cause assigned for this
outrage is, that Young took a farm (the one on which he
resides, and which contains nearly 16 acres) about 18 months
ago, from which the former tenant had been ejected for non-
payment of rent by the landlord, Mr. Robert Cassidy,
Monasterevan. Young and his daughter lie in a very dan-
gerous state, and weak from loss of blood. They deny
knowing any of their assailants."
