IRELAND-BLOODY MASSACRE.
The following briei statement OF dreadful
massacre, which took place in Ireland, on the
9Th of September, is extracted from the Cork Ike
porter :,
1t appears that the Rev. Mr.. Gavan proceeded
few DAYS since to value the tythes in the Parish
of Wdllstown, near Doneraile. 1t was thought
necessary. in order to effect the object. that de-
tachment of the 18th regiment of infantry from
Buttevant, aud body of police from the neigh:
borng stations, all under the direction OF several
magistrates, amongst whom the names OF u. Is.
Low. Esq Admiral Evans. General Barry, and
G. Magic, Esq. have been returned to US, should
be procured. The process OF valuation had
scarcely commenced, when the people, to the
number of between 10 and $4,000, began to ma
nifest indications Of hostility; whilst the auth"-
rites on the other side, evinced determination
TO resist any attempt that might be made to frus.
trate the valuation. The people, as they lncreas-
ed in numbers, became more and more resolute
and exasperated; stones were thrown at the mill.
tary; the order to fire upon and charge was civ.
en- by the magistrates, and an instantaneous and
general discontinue of the unarmed peasantry
was the result. The retreating party were met
by company of IS Hishlanders' from Castle
townroche, when another conflict ensued, the re-
suit of which was that four persons were killed.
fifteen badly wounded, and eighteen or twenty
made prisoners. The whole country Tor several
miles round has been thrown into state of great
CONSERVATION. and the feelings OF the farmers
and peasantry are reused to pitch Of fearful ex-
citemeDt.
After protracted and anxious inquiry. the
coroner's jury brought in their verdict OF Jusfif
able hon.icide, on behalf of all the parties who
took Sd fatal part in this ARRAY
1t appears, says the Morning Chronicle of the
10th, that the Magistrates who we're present on
the occasion exerted themselves with a becoming
earnestness to dissuada the wretched people from
the course they we're pursuing. but we cannot
help expressing our regret that an experiment
was not made upon the fears Of the multitude be-
fore recourse was had to the last extremity. The
experiment to which we allude is the usual one
of firing blank cartridge in the first instance -
Such practice is very common, aud has often
been successful in dispensing an undlscip'lned
mob, especially where, as in the present case, 1t
consisted in a great measure, of women and chit
dren. Its true that the course pursued cut
short the bu siness and saved great deal of trou-
ble-a consideration which will, no doubt. re-
commend it to the preference Of many serious
politicians. Still, il considerations Of humanl-
" may be permitted tu ming!e with an affair in
volving the right of Church property, we hope
that some further explanation will be given be-
yond what we have been able to find in the report
ed evidence. Of this, at least, we are sure, that
il it can he done, it ought to be done.
| Another circumstance deserving of notice In
the Irish papers is the following extract from the
letter of commercial traveller in Kildare, to his
employer

shocking statement. regard it is satisfactory So
