Extract of a letter, dated

LIMERICK. June u, 1871.
YESTERDAY evening, at the early hour OF
eight O'Clock, a horiid and barbarous OCCUR
renee took place within mile of this city,
which for atrocity, exceeds any that has late
ly been recorded. In the early part of the
Spring, a daring attack was made by an
armed mob on a house on the lands oil Gun
nigar, near this city, where Mr.. Terrence
resided. HeI had previously received a
threatening notice to quit the lands, which
he disregarded. After a long and valiant
resistance, aided only by his wife, who dis
played a courage beyond her sex. he sue
ceeded in completely repulsing the assailanis
with the loss Of one OF their gang, who was
carried off MORALLY wounded. On the even
ing above mentioned, this brave, but untolu-
nate couple were met on the road between
Limerick and DuDnigar, by a body Of men
dressed in women's clothes; they were I'M
mediateIy surrounded, and in an instant Mr..
florence was barbarously murdered.

POLICE.

A mysterious circumstance it will be
recollected, was mentioned in some ofthe
Gazettes of the day, a short time since
respecting a man of genteel appearance,
passing over one of The upper ferries on
the North river, assuming there a fisher
mans garb, sinking in the river the clothes
he had on, shaving his head, and putting
on a wig, and then coming into the city.
About the same time too, the extensive
depredations on the stores of Boorman &
Johnson, and others, were brought to light,
and the ministers of Justice were on the
alert to make, detection. 1t will be graft
flying to our citizens to learn, that the
untiring vigilance of our police, has al
ready discovered three of the persons,
and perhaps they were all of the gan
who committed the robberies in question.
Among them. tits conjectured, must be
the character whose extraordinary con-
duct, above alluded to, excited OF that

''We understand that Sir William Holman

which the military were ordered to lire. the

and Daphne, all taken in the Congo Ri
YER The Eliza had no slaves on board:
the Daphne had two slaves on board; and
the Matilda had a boat load ready to start
for the schooner, but discovering the AL
ligator they were relanded. The masters
of all the vessels were ashore at the time
of capture the vessels are said to be un-
der French c%olors, and were Differed and
manned principally with Frenchmen and
Spaniards. a schooner with 800 slaves
on board, sailed from Sierra Leone about
two hours before the Alligator, to which
she gave chase, but the schooner escaped
by superior sailing. The Alligator has
eight prisoners on board-and has return
