LATE MURDERS IN KILKENNY. We deeply regret to have to record the following oat- ' rage, sonnected with the late atrocious murders of gr• Prim and Constable Yeates. Our:readers will remember that in our last we gave a report of an inquest on thl body of a man named Roe, who had died of a wove,' which he acknowledged to have received from 2ittr' Prim, when engaged with the assassins, wbc; have escaped, in the murderous attack on OP; gentleman. Well, on the day after the inquee" (Thursday last, we believe), the deceased prisoner° wife brought a hearse for Roe's corpse, but was in formed by the police that she could not get it until the following morning, at six o'clock. At the appointea hour two men appeared at the police-station, and claimed the holy, saying they were Roe's nearest relations. o_l3 their making this statement, the constables allowed thew to take it, enclosed as it was in a shell, which bad bees ordered by the Coroner. The men, who, it has eine° turned out, are inhabitants of the neighbourhood ioni which the murders were committed, immediately carri off the corpse to the spot where Mr. Prim bad beet murdered, and there, with the assistance of severe 2, others of the country people, dug a bole, flung In corpse into it, and threw a quantity of large stones sip'• lime on top of it. This was conduct for which we will offer no 1:411°,i tion. We have given the above facts as they reaeitt us; but we must also add, that we have been informti that the people, who, as we before stated, held the ill Mr. Prim in very great esteem, were provoked to,t-d outrage on Christianity by Roe's wife having sliro, she would have as good a coffin for her husband, Mr. Prim had. The peasantry also felt very indigee's at seeing a grand hearse brought in for the body of ti:sj of the murderers of a gentleman to whom they g been so much attached, and, hearing the woman hens, that she would have a fine funeral for him ; being lea naturally under the impression that part of the IlWal; money would defray the expenses of such burial. 1,0 do not wonder at this; but, as we said before, we eenPof excuse men for having acted in such gross violation the rules of common decency. gp It was apprehended that a collision would have tato place between Roe's friends and the Dells people we are happy to say that no such disturbance has tal‘ place.—Kilkenny Journal.  " The cleverest conjurors," says the Gazetta des Tribunaux, do not always perform for the amusemeri! of the public. A gentleman lately went to dine °his-restaurant; the waiters placed two silver forks upon 7, table; but when he paid the reckoning they found nr. ther; both had been conjured away most mysteriouvij The waiters, not duly appreciating the clever trick, 4,ee, the gentleman to be allow( d to speak to him in priire', He consented with exquisite politeness, but was e%cee sively indignant when it was hinted to him that t, missing silver forks must be in his pocket.

A eunn", old corporal, however, thought it would be as vvell s look into the innocent man's boots, and lo! the two for% wore found therein! How they got there was a tairae' of legerdemain, but, the Correctional Tribunal, havenl no admiration for such conjuring tricks, has conderan,e the clever operator to thirteen months' imprisonment.% AN Ecuo.—There is a singular echo in the Yicti:xl pity of Lochcarron, which put a gemekeeper to a g, $ deal of annoyance lately.
