FROM THE KILKENNY MODERATOR OF JANUARY 3.] On Sunday last, a Notice was posted at a Chapel in the vicinity of Owning Parish, Barony of Iverk, threatening 44 to extirpate any Landlord who shall not reduce his rents," offering 1500 44 for the head of " of an active and most respectable Magistrate, which sum, the notice stated, had been raised " among General Rock's men, at ls. 44 a-head ;"—and adding, that. fifty thousand men were ready to march into Kilkenny, that the Wexford boys would join them, and that they would spare'no man. [From the LIMERICK CilosicLr of Wednesday.]  Etract of a letter from Ennis, dated becem  ber 31 Major Warburton's Police, stationed at Crusheen, had a good brush with the  nightly lads last night, at a place called Rum). About two hundred banditti, fifty of them mounted, went and demanded arms at several houses, but it appears their ulterior object was to carry off a quantity of cattle and other property, to prevent a seizure for rent. The Police (only four) finding them so very-4)milerous, called on William Butler, Esq.Of BUnahow, and a party of the. Revenue Police, with Mr. Anthony. Craigg, Revenue Officer, who very spiritedly joined them. As soon as the banditti were challenged, they took to flight, but some•of them turned round and fired on the party, who returned it, and-made 6 of the banditti prisoners." The cause assigned' for the savage murder of. Stack, at Cratloe Wood; on Christmas-day, is, that it was reported he gave information which led tc• the apprehension of M'lneruhy, the day previous; for killing a man named Wilson. The. murder of Stack has been further followed by an audacious outrage, as on Monday night the wretched hut in which he resided was levelled with the ground, by a gang of ruffians. • On Sunday night an armed baud of ruffians broke into the house of P. Gorman, at Dohill. near the• Commons of Rathkeale, and inhumanly murdered him, and desperately wounded his aged father, who, it is supposed, will not recover. This diabolical outrage was perpetrated not far distant from where Mr. Going was assassinated.  Ten houses near Bandon were broken into last week, and robbed of fire-arms. This day a respite was received for Martin and John Grady, who were sentenced to be hanged to-morrow, at Shanagolden, for taking a sword from Mr. Edward Morgan, of Dunmoylan. • On the second day of Christmas,at the Fair of Dromore, a disgraceful and fatal quarrel took place, which terminated in the death of 1 manond the wounding of several others. As well as we could collect the circumstances, the yeomanry of that town,who were called upon toquell the tumult, fired into a public-house, where some of the rioters who had been throwing stones„had taken refuge, thereby producing the unfortunate consequences we have just stated. Au inquest 'has been held on the body- of the deceased, but we have not yet learned the verdict.—Several persons implicated in the transaction have been committed to Ornagh gaol, and the Magistrates of that neighbourhood are investigating this lamentable businesS with the zeal and energy which become their station, and which are due to justice, and the peace'of society. Respecting the origin and progress of this affray, there are various contradictory statements in circulation, which we decline giving publicity to at present, as the affair must become the subject of legal inquiry.—(Erne Packet.)
