IRELAND-RLOOpY MAssACRE-

T'hefollowing briefstatement of dreadful mas
sacre, which took place in Ireland, on the 9th Sep
iember, Is extracted from the Cork Reporier:-
II appears that the Rev. MIR. Gavan proceeded a
few days since TO value the tythes in the parish of
Wallstowm near Doneraile. Il was thought neces-
sary IN order to effect the object that detachment
ofthe i4th regiment of infantry from Butevan, and
a body fpoce from the neighborng stations, all
under the direction of several magistrates, amongst
whom the names ofG. b. Low, Esq. Admiral Evans
General Barry, and q. Nagle, Esq. have been re-
turned to ns, should be procured The process of
valuation had scarcely commenced when the peo.
pie TO tho lumber Of between IL and 5 600 began
to manifest indications ofbosullty; whilst the au-
ihorlues on the other side evinced determination
TO resist any attempt that might be made to ffus-
irate the valuation. The people, as they increased
IN numbers, became more aud more resolute and
exasperaied; stones were thrown at the military
the orderio fire upon and charge was given by
ihe magistrates, and an instantaneous and general
discontinue Of the unarmed peasantry was the re
suit. he retreatlng party were met by a compa-
ny of 'Highlunders' from Castetownrnche, whea
another conflict ensued, the result of which was
that four persons we're killed. fifteen badly wound
ed, and eighteen or twenty made prisoners. The
who country for several miles round has been
thrown into state great CONSERVATION, and The
feelings Of the farmers and peasanlry are reused
10 a pitch oi fearful excitement
Ater proiracied and anxious inquiry, the cor
oner's jury brought in their verdict of justifable
homicide, on behalf Of ali the parties who took so
fatal part in this affray
II appears, says the morning Chronicle of the
18th, that the Magistrates who were present ON the
occasion exerted themselves with becoming ear
neslness to dlssuade the wrctched people from the
course they were pursuing, but we cannot help

not made upon the fears of the multitude before
recourse was had to the last extremity The OK.
pertinent to which we allude is the usual one OF fr-
ing blank cartridges in the first instance. Such
practice is very common aud has often been success
iul IN dispensing an undlscplined mob, especially
where, as in the present case, II consisted, IN a
great measure, of women and children It's true
that the course pursued cut short the business and
saved great ueal of lrouhle-a consideration
which will, no doubt, recommend il TO the prefer
ence ofmany serious politicians. Still, considera.
tons Of humanity may be permitted to mingle with
an affair involving the right Of Church property, we
nope that some further exIlanlton beyond what
VIC have been able to find in The reported evidence
Of this at least, we are sure that, fit can be done
Il ought 10 be done.
Another circumstance deserving of notice in tho
Irish papers is the following extract from the
letter of a commercial traveller in Kildare. to ms

to the secret. One shopkeeper in - told me
that he had sold 10 lbs. Of arsenic to a farmer bo
wanted TO salt some hhc-kay under seizure, which
was intended to be purchased by the Com,nissa'
rat, and that was generally understood thron9h
