ANOTHER OUTRAGE.  The tragedy on Saturday night was quickly followed by another atrocious outrage, and which closely resembled in its character and plan the double murder in the Pbcsnix Park.  Mr. D. J. Field, stationer, of Westmoreland-street, was one of the jurors who convicted Michael Walsh for the murder of Constable Kavanagh, at Letter. track. (Our readers will remember that Michael Walsh was recommended to mercy on the ground of his youth, and the sentence was afterwards commuted to penal servitude for life). Mr. Field was assaulted on Monday evening between six and seven o'clock near the door of his residence, 14, North Frederick. street, Dublin, by two men, who, as is believed, dogged him home from his place of business. One of them stabbed him with a sword cane in five or six places. He fell to the ground after receiving the first stab, and the man continued to pierce him as he lay. Two young gentlemen, who happened to be coming up, hurried forward when they saw that some one was being assaulted, but did not know the nature of the outrage, and the fellows, apprehending discovery, got on a car, which was in waiting at the corner of the street, and drove off rapidly, followed for some distance by the two gentlemen, wito shouted " Murder " and "Pollee," but the oar soon got out of eight. It proceeded in the direction of Drumondra. The street is rather dark, and there were few people about at the time of the outrage, which must have been very sudden for no outcry was heard. A gentleman and a young lad followed the car for some distance, but were unable to overtake it. Mr. Field lies in a dangerous condition, having received a number of stabs in the back aad face. Medical aid was quickly obtained. The police are endeavouring to trace the perpetrators of the outrage.  A meeting of the Privy Council was held on Tuesday, at which it was resolved to Issue the following proclamation :  ai:lforoclamatien by the Lord Lieutenant-General and Governor of Ireland.—Speneer.
