. sterda)', oursuant to a niotice given to that cffec;, a nieeUtPg ot the Church1 AMissioliary Society was held at the Saloon. in P" rick- Street, Dublin. The bushness oi the Society was proceeding with scarcely any tn- terruption, whlen a person presented himself, who was not a nelt- ber of the Society, wlhose name we learned was Dwyer, aod whose avocatiotn WC uRderstootd to be that of editor of thie Cork Afrcantile Chronicle. Itn profper adhlerence to the communnication natm e bl the Rev. Dr. Quarry, the gentleman was mildly intbrmed that he was not a member o7 the Society, and cotild tiot be keard. The gentle- man, however, intsisted upon his presensions to be heard. In vain (id the Very Reverend Chairman miidly assert the right of the So- ciety, as well as his resolve to entertain only the addresses made to the chair by its own memberp. Upon this, a scene enstued, one of the most scandalous and abominable titat ever presunmed to set de- cency anti cotnoron policy at dlefitnce ; sounds of thc most dea'enins kind were raised-tite benches were thrown down-artillrial noises of every kinld were mnade, without any clemency for the female vi- siters, and others wvho attended upon the interesting occasion. The niost abominable dentunciatiotns were heard from all quarters; a re- cruitmicit to the mob that was inside broke in from the streets, and the uproar that instantlv followed beggars all description. The screams ot the ladies-tbe fainting of several-the bustle made to relieve some from their terrors, and others from their sufferings-the cursesand execra'.?ons and mnenaces shouted by the mob-tile mild but idle exhortation of those of a better descriotion-the v-ocifera- tions r2ised against the Chair, against a Dean of the Establish- ed Church ! agahitst such a rlan, too ! as " Ptiil him out !" Kick hi,m out !" the soutd of blows, and the clamour of wicked and barbarous voices, altogether presented to the as- tonished senLss a Babel of confusion. The unmanly and indecent rnisercants who were the actors in t1lis inamnous perfomi- ance were iavokcd by evety descript ion of addrcss that could be ex- pected to stay their i ury. They were entreated as Christians-they were besought as men-they were appealed to by the rousing and manly appellativeof Irishmen; all would not do they woNld be ieither Christians, men, nor Irishmen above all! and then every mar. not belanging to this atrocious gang, and the elegamt and inter- esting fenale suffirers present, escaped as well as they coutld. 'No life was lost, hut some were in danger; and what mnight have fol- lowed, in the fanatical frenzyof the assailant party, God only knows, had not Shrriffs Lowe atid Crofts, attended by a strong posse ofCon- stables, arrived most opportunely, and dispersed the inob.-Cork' Constitlttiont. tle Editor of the Vork Afercantilze Chronicle, to whom allusion is made in the above article, has given a long answer in his paper of the 24th instant, wlhich he concltdes as follows:- Mr. Dwyer heard a proposition put, which he thought ought not to be carried without consideration; he heard things detsiled as facts which he knew to bc contrary to trutl.-he rose to reply-he would not be heard-in the most respectful manner he requestedi permission to briefly argue his right to be hcard-he was met by a barbarous yell from tbe mueek dlisciplea of Christiau tolerance- There began tLe confusion; others, less informed, followed the example of their betters, and our readers know the result." On Werednesday last, John Cuthbert, Esq., Sub-Slieriff of this county, with a party of polict were attacked at Ballinfally and Scart, in tbe barony of CoonagA, between Pallis-greeni ant. Etlteely, by upwards of 200 persons, who pelted them with stornes and rescued a quantity of cattle, which had been seized under an execution: such was the violence of the gssailan-ts that the Sheriff and his men were obliged to fire several shots in defence of tnel lives: and it was not until all their ammunition was expended, that the fellows were beat ofi, but took the cattle with them. The Sheriff applied at Nicker. the next police station in the neighbonrhood, but fourd the party all absent ; and after receiving the aid of three constables from Bally- brood, wvent agair, to the lands, and succeeded in taking two of the ringleaders in the rescue. The Sheniff was severely injured by the blow of. a stone in the righit side, and at the commencement of the attack fortunately took two guns and two pistols from the party. The Sheriff' states, that if the Chief Constable and hiis party had not been removed from Nicker, the attack, it is most probable, would not havg taken place.-Lilterick Chronicle. IItELA..YL). (ORK.
