structive kind The private letters of the con-
spirators as well as their public manifestations

The suspicious as to the policy which
the Governments of France and Austria are dis
posed and possibly prepared, to pursue towards
the Swiss Confederation, under cover of de-
mand for the expulsion of certain political refu-
gees are corroborated from day to day by the
information we receive from the Continent
There is great reason to apprehend that posi-
tive arrangement, and perhaps secret conven-
tion, has b en- concluded between the two Pow
ers, on the terms propo ed by Austria to France
in the month of November last, for the purpose
of enforcing these demands upon the Federal
Government by military operations, beginning
with blockade and ending with partial occu-
patton

A phenomenon well calculated to create
alarm was observed in the neighborhood of Barn
sley England little while ago, in the shape of
a fiery meteor Its appearance was that of a
flaming torch of extraordinary magnitude and
splendour, which shot across the sky from a
north. east to a southwest direction, about 20 |
degrees above the horizon, and for few seconds |
Illuminated the country around with intense bril-
hancy. The color of the meteor was deep red, |
except at the burning end, from which radated
white fame with slight tinge of blue In
part ofitS course it became partly extnguish-
ed, bat instantly rekindled with increased splen-
do. 1t was visible about six seconds.

About three weeks ago, says the Tralee
Qrish) Journal, as Mathew Moriarty, ESQ of |
Ventry, was, with his wife and servant, returning
from divine service in Dingle church, he was met |
on MilltOwn bridge by party of eight ten |
men, who, after using most abusive language to |
him as Protestant, and pressing his car against
the battlement of the bridge, rushed on and drag
ged him into the dyke, whore they knocked him
Gown, and continued beating h m till he was res
cued by his brother, the Rev. Thomas Moriarty,
who was driving little in advance, and, having
missed Mr.. Matthew T Moriarty off his car, re-
turned to seek him. When Mr.. Moriarty came
TO the assistance of his brother, he found him
covered with blood, and perfectly insensible as to
what had taken place. MIR. Moriarty being |
much respected, and very popular in this quar-
Ter, the assault has caused great excitement and |
~uoa regret among all classes.
Recently, as one of the men was cutting |
reed on Whittlesey Mere, England, he heard |
mare cry tat some distance. Thinking she |
might be caught in a snare, he hastened to the |
spot, " en- he saw poor puss surrounded by three |
foxes, gradually narrowing the circle round her.
She appeared trans6xed with fear. AS soon as |
the man was seen by the foxes, they made off, as
did likewise the hare, but in an opposite direc
ton The water having been taken from the
reed shoals they form favorite and secure re-
treat to the foxes, a great many of whom are |
harbored in the reed sedge and flags, to the |
great loss of the poultry yards in the neighbor- |
hood.

him, and was ordered by his tutor to make him
self perfect The youth obstinately refuse J, and
ln fit of passion del bsrately sharpened his PEN
Knife and cut piece, an inch in length, off his
tongue. The event has caused considerable ex-
ctement in the neighborhOOd. but tho only per
son to blame is the unfortunate youts, who will
thus through life suffer for this unprecedented
