dered. Mr.. Shave Taylor made q mistake rs
to his position, which, we have no doubt, he
will now see the propriety OF retTeating from,
circulation in this city for the past few days,
to the effect that O'Donovan Rosa had died in
Pcntonviile last week. Up to the latest dates
we received no confirmation of the rumor, not
withstanding several inquiries. The absence
of such confirmation as well as the absence OF
all particulars relative to the reported death,
give grounds for hoping that the rumor is en-
tirely without foundation.
THE LATE. TRAGEDY IN SLIGo-Sligo, July
20.-Yesterday, Alexander Burrows, ESD, held
an inquest at Breaghty police barrack, on the
body of p. Hoy, who drowned himself after at
tempting the life of his wife. The evidence at
the inquest went to show that the unfortunate
deceased had been for some time OF ansound
mind. He had been under treatment IN the
county lunatic asylum, from whence he had
been some time ago discharged, as being appa-
rentfy all right in his mental faculties. On
Saturday last, the day of the fatal occurrence,
he expressed great fears to a neighbor, because
of his being again sent to the asylum, saying
he would rather drown himself than go there.
When this neighbor saw him afterwards rush
to the waters edge, he guessed his intention
aRd followed him, but he was too late to save
him. His unfortunate wife, whom he attacked
before committing suicide, smashing in her
brains and cutting off the thumb of her right
hand, died this evening,

ATTACK BY ORANGEMEN on A PREsDY1E-
RIAN CLEBGYAAN.-The riotous spirit evoked
among the dregs of the Orange party by the
recent Celebrations has left-behind many
tokens of its existence. Two of their acts,
however, surpass all the rest, as examples of
the WlckeuneSS anu SaVagery OF which tnoSe
wretohed creatures are capable. We allude to
| the firing of sliets through the windo.r of an
apartment in which a Catholic clergyInan-the
parish priest of AhagallOn-was known to be
sleeping, and to the brutal attack made by
members of the same party on the Rev. Isaac
Nelson, Protestant clergyman, near Belfast.
This latter occurrence did not take plase-o ON
the day usually devoted by these semi-lunatics
to all sorts of folly and many sorts of crime; it
did not happen on the GLORIOUS Twelfth" the
day when their brains on fire from the eff
fects of political excitement aud bad whisky,
but on the evening,Of the 18th July, when the
effects of Mondays madness might be supposed
to have passed away. On that evening some
Catholics who were returning frcm a funeral,
were attacked in u furious manner by party
Of -oFaRgeRsea, -&he- PFepab4y-weFe lying in
wait for them on the road. Two of the Catho-
lies ran for shelter into the lawn of the Rev.
Isaac Nelson; as they neared the house of
them was feiied to the ground with blow of
a stone, and then his pursuers came up and
commenced to ill-treat the unfortunate man in
n shocking snanner. Seeing what had occurred,
and fearing that murder would be committed
before his eyes, the Rev. Mr. Nelson rushed
