IRELAND.  MURDEROUS ATTACK ON THE DONE  11- A- ILE COACH AND PASSENGERS.  Yesterday (Monday) morning two coacbes left Doneraile for this city, laden with passengers to attend the Assiz:s for this county. The first was occupied by the persons in that county, charged with a conspiracy to annihilate tithes, and who were coming to surrender themselves for trial. The coach was decorated with green boughs in every part, and the travellers all in high glee were met by a band of music at Castletownroche, which preceded them to Killavullen, where an immense mcb had congregated. The second coach contained several gentlemen passengers, and some witn,sses to give evidence on the trials, and though they started a short time after the first coach, at some distance from the town the road was strewn over with large stones, evidently with the intention of upsetting the coach, or preventing its proceeding. The passengers, however, alighted, and with some difficulty removed the obstruction, after which they continued on their journey, hissed and hooted by the peasantry on the road ; but no violence was offered until they reached Killavullen, where upwards of 1,500 persons had assembled. As soon as the coach appeared in view, the passengers were as-ailed with deafening and savage yells of Informers!''—" Those fellows are going to swear away the lives of innocent people," and a hundred such abusive epithets, and immediately a volley of stones was thrown, which struck several of the passengers. The gentlemen, not being armed, and having ❑o means of defence, alighted and made the best of their way up a glen, in their route towards Cork. In the meantime an unoffending individu il, named Warren, clerk of the Petty Sessions at Doneraile, was recognized on the roof of the coach, and in a moment all their fury was directed towards him. Stones rebounded off his body from every point, and the unfortunate man, considering that he had nothing to do but to save his life, presented a blunderbuss at the villains, hut it hao no effect; they knew him personally, and assailed him with loud cries of " Murder Warren, the informer," &c. After being cut severely by the blows of stones, and blood flowing from his wounds, he got down off the coach. to endeavour to follow the other passengers, and thereby effect his escape ; but the moment he alighted he was seized by the relentless monsters, and when last seen they were dragging him towards a bridge, bloody as he was, it is supposed with the intention of throwing him over! After some time the coach was enabled to proceed, and, having taken up the passengers in advance, arrived in town considerably over time. A report was instantly made to the General of the district, and a troop of Lancers left town last evenin.- for Killavullen in search of the ill-fated man, who, if he survived instant destruc inn, can scarcely be expected to recover from the wounds he received. Since writing the above we have learned that Mr. Warren was not entirely deprived of life. He has been removed to Caseetownroche, where he now lies in a dangerous state.— Cork Constitution.  • The cholera has hitherto proved extremely mild in the Torbay district. At Brixham and Totnes it has been very slightly felt, considering the dense population of those towns ; and at Torquay, contrary to many exaggerated reports, six deaths occurred in six weeks, out of thirteen cases only, entirely confined to the inhabitants of a back lane, chiefly infirm and sickly individuals, and during the last ten days there has not been any ease.
