IRISH OUTRAGES.—Returns of the number and description of outrages specially reported by the constabulary throughout Ireland; in each of the years 1845 and 1846, have been laid before Parliament. It appears that the total number (in class 1) of offences against the person amounted in 1846 to 1,923, against 1,639 in 1855, thus exhibiting a large increase in the number of outrages. The list of crimes thus committed in Ireland during the past year contains 176 cases of homicide, 158 cases of firing at the person, 6 of conspiracy to murder, 1 of poison i (drape, 49 of assault with intent, &c., 100 of inLe, 18 of abducting, 83 of assaults on the police, 604  assaults endangering life,  28 of assaults with intent to rob,  g and maiming,  of common assau  cealing births of children, and one of unnatural crime. In 1846 there were 4,766 cases of offences against the public peace, including 465 incendiary fires, 611 robberies of arms, 232 administrations of illegal oaths, 1,783 threatening letters, 536 attacks of houses, 449 injuries of property, and 167 cases of firing into dwelhng-holirs. .1n class 3, " Offences against property," the alarming inn class stealing, from 73 981 t o afenoopfdulunclntideesriinngwphrioevih provisions. 534 robberies, 287 cases crease 3 bs,u6r7gola cases,ri is e s, 25iincluding exhibited,highway w34:4:005e62bn.5be cases casesTs 4hes sseo, TolfBh4ne6ag:eaningieainranglscattoBtt:allelo4, is 12,380 cases of crime and offence in appears to have been the most rife are those of Tinn^Cork, T Clare  _., Roscommon, and Leitrim, whigi ehose most free from the stigma are Antrim, Londonderry, Louth, Kildare, and Carlow.  in the county of Limerick, got acquainted with a Miss Honora Macmahon, who is said to have £2OOO fortune, while she was on a visit with her maternal uncle, Mr. Larkin, a wealthy shopkeeper in the town in which she was stationed. 'the attachment having reached the ears of the family, the father forbid the acquaintance, and " to hand de oafssuiriasnscme daocniubiyonsu, rwea,'s' ,ibalaedtao marriage kriatghee determined upon. The wedding clothes were bought— ina-trloadduecleig the marriage settlements completed, and the day named. But, as the old adage goes, there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," so it was with respect to the Macmahon family, for the night before the appointed day, the sly policeman rescued the bride-elect from the custody of her watchful uncle, and before the discovery of her elopement, she waa on the road tO her intended, people-in-law at Rathcormac. , When the morning came, Newcastle was in a ferment. A warrant having been obtained from a magistrate for her arrest upon a charge of felony, the family of the Macmahons was up in arms, and the Country around was searched'' for the delinquent, and a reward of £lO was offered through the Limerick Chronicle for her apprehension. Within two days Webb returned to his station, to avoid coming under the charge of desertion and resigned his office as policeman ; but so great was the indignation of the family and the friends of the Macmahons that he had to be escorted out of the town. Perceiving he was " set," with the instinct of a policeman, he made a circuit to arrive at the place of appointment, and, eluding his pursuers, arrived in Cork on Sunday night. Here he met his "intended," and on Monday they went to get married, but were recognised by an old soldier of the local companies, who gave them into custody. They were immediately taken before the presiding magistrate, who discharged Webb, but remanded the ' lady. However, on Tuesday, Webb having engaged the services of Mr. J. -J. O'Brien, he showed the bench that  she was not criminally chargeable, and she Was•conse• fluently discharged. This was a fortunate release, for that day, being Shrove Tuesday, they were enabled without much delay to be joined in Wedlock by a priest. On Wednesday, the father and uncle of the young wife arrived in this city, but they found they were a day' too late, the happy eonple having started the same morning to enjoy the scenery of the Lakes of Killarney.—Cork Constitution.
