The landin of this aft:nir, wibth the uspial exaggerations shortly after spread ,oth I the country, and a re4n1oremeZzt armed vHthbguns, ba b5nets, and other weapons, ?e aired to the scent! of action. -Oa the a tpearane of n thatfdesaract thise (-athoca retreated etheir cots for teepposite shore, on the ontaugh side of the country.

Some of' the patties ows both sides were made prithoems, and afetmuskcts seize auli brough ino to town. OnT tesdl the maghtraes assembled to tnvetit ate the d usines, w nt have pro posed taoing infrmetions on bow t sides. Thus, we believe, the mattero atpresent esth. iVi'Creer, whoseskul c is frrnttfr&T,as not dead when they lstecounts reached us, but rem.abined ina mot dan- gere,a state. A fair was held in Magairebridge-y~ea-ay; whkh, we u sederstand, was aisso, a s Icene of battery and bloodshed. On the evening ef caeuTday last, as her. 1raham, the permsanent ser- geant of the yeomanry corps of this town, was returning froni the countrn,he was attacked by a party near Lisbellaw, and beaten in schu onlyvage manner, that he was unable to proceed home. u r Graham is a man of the most peaceable disposition and inoffensive manner; hut in the present disorganized state oftociety herethe best disposed persons ate equally the victims of the lawless and turbulent ruPeans that distract this neighdbourhood." INSITRflECTioS- ACT.-The Leinister Jouirial says-~" The' proclamation of this county (Killkennv) has already become a source of emoluiment to certain )persons neithier connected witht the stasions bench nor the county censtabulary. Passes, as in the gooal old times ofmartial law, are publicly sold to the poor people, whoGe avoca.. tions lead theny to undextake ojouries before the hour ini the niominr at, whichi the Insurrection .Alct allows country folks to breathe libs morning air. We shouldllke to know, because we shall liely hav-e occa,sion to take an early drive in a few days, whethier the practice be confined to Kikeniny,'or whivther licences to vNiew 'Ithe &i+aayey'd rorn stile oni the fran owning night' are common throuvho.t the country?
