THE STATE OF IRELAND.  ANOTHER MURDER OF A LAND_ 011TNER.  The Central News Athenry correspou dent telegraphs :—"A. frightful double murder was perpertrated at Ardrahan, near Gort, yesterday. Mr. Burke, of Rahassane Park, who for some time paq has been under special protection, was returning home accompanied by his body guard, a soldier belc aging to the Royal Dragoon Guards, when several shots were fired by some pergons who remained concealed behind a wall. The shots took immediate and fatal effect upon both Mr. Burke and his guard. The police, as soon as the crime was discovered, set out to track the assassins, wlio have, however, not been arrested." The Central News has received the following official copy of the telegram forwarded from Ireland to the Right lion. Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary fer Ireland : "Sub-Inspector of Government telegraphs, Mr. Burke, of Rahassane Park, riding, and a soldier who was protecting him, were shot dead when returning from Gort on this day (Bth inst.), at 3 30p.m., at Castle Taylor Grand Gate Ardrahan. It appears from crime reports Mr. Wm. M. Burke, who was a magistrate and landowner, was obnoxious on account of taking proceedings against his tenants. There had been a murder on the estates on the night of the 2nd of November last, and on the same night a house was fired into."  The Central News learns that Mr. Burke's brother who is at present in London, on hearing a report of the terrible occurence, at once hurried to du, lobby of the House of Commons to ask for official information. Mr. Trevelyan exhibited the foregoing message and other brief tel€ grams to the relative of the murdered man, and at the same timo offered such consolation as he could under the circumstances. Mr. Burke expressed an intense desire to go instantly to Ireland to assist in tracking the assassins and protecting. the family. It was explained to him that it would be impossible wen by taking a special train to catch the night mail steamer at Holyhead After some further consultation Mr. Burke left intending to proceed to Gort at the earliest moment to-day. A later telegram from Ireland on Thursday says Mr. Burke left home a few days ago, it is supposed to visit Castle Taylor, a place over which he was agent, and was travelling alone, the fields when fired at.
