OF the Most Rev. DR.. Kildnff, which is op-
posite the college of st. Nell, a number OF
men paraded the town at the early hour OF
one O'Clock on the morning of the 10th ult.
and regret to say that the windows OF
some OF the Protestants of the town, who, I
| suppose, were suspected to be of the party
who, it is alleged, contemplated the act
referred to, were smashed. Several of the
parties who took part in this reprehensiblc
| affair have been arrested by the police, and
committed for further examination Of the
| entire circumstances.

address to the electors of this county, in
which lie says: Since the will of the people
of Mayo, in sending him to Parliament, was
set aside by the unjust verdict of Parla-
mentary committee, he has never, until

Irishman that the best interests, if not the
very destinics Of his country, may be de-
cded, for good or evil, during the next few
years. There fore, Mr.. Moore is candidate
MEATH.-A constant reader of the Ners
writing from Kildalky, describes remark
able display witnessed at the funeral of a
young girl on the 9Th ult. The deceased,
named Jane Reade, was the daughter ofhum-
bic but highly respectable parents. The fu-
neral proceeded from the village to the old
Moullin burial ground of Trim, n distance
of about five miles, and the coffin was
borne on the shoulders Of most respectfully
attlreu young girls from the ages of about
fourteen to twenty. After leaving the
chapel, the girls, to the number of nearly
two hundred, formed themselves into line
OF procession, each wearing green and
Grape rosette on the left breast or shoulder
anu hearing IN her hand white wand sur
mounted with nm evergreen bough. In this
order the cortege proceeded, the young
men bringing up the rear. Your informant
having inquired the reason of the Grape and
green being worn, was told that the Grape
was worn as mourning for the deceased,
and the green, being above all other colors
to the people of this place, was worn as the
highest possible token of respect borne to
the deceased, her parents, and relations.
