STATE OF THE COUNTRY.  The Earl of Erne, Lieutenant of Fermanagh, convened a meetin? of magistrates on Tuesday at the Court-house, Enniskillen. The deliberations were private; but a local paper reports that the object was to induce the Earl of Clarendon to proclaim a portion of that county, and that the cause assigned for the step was some threatening notices served upon the Earl of Erne. The Fermanagh Reporter treats the latter tiart of the statement as a foolish jest. A Cavan correspondent of the Evening Mail thus writes:— "Redhills, County of Cavan. "On the evening of the 27th ult., about the hour of 7 o'clock, William Winslow (bailiff on the Redhills estate) was returning home from Mr. John Boyd's, the agent on this property, accornpant .d by five men, who are all tenants on the estate, he (Winslow) was attacked by an armed party consisting of two in number, who both fired at him, wounding him severely on the thigh; four small balls went through his coat, and two of them still remain in his thigh. The horse which he was riding immediately started with fright, when the blood-thirsty assassins fell in contact with the other five men, presenting a pistol at one of them; 'and, it is supposed, if loaded, he would have got the contents of it also. They made no attempt to arrest the murderers, but followed on after Winslow, who got to a publichouse about a quarter of a mile from the place of attack. On their arrival there they found a large party, who began to mob them, and it was thought, had not the Rev. Mr. Clarke, parish priest of Druug, come up at the time, the party who were there would have attacked them also. The Rev. Mr. Clarke got Winslow Upon his own horse, and came with him to Redhills, which is between three and four miles. On their coming to Redhills, Mr. Thomas Johnstone, J.P., was immediately in attendance; on receiving Winslow's information, the constabulary proceeded to the houses of the two persons accused, being it distance of about four miles from Redhilla, and succeeded in arresting them. In one of the houses they guts gun and some ammunition, in bags; the gun had every appearance of having been recently discharged. On the following morning Winslow fully identified them (as he had known them will) as the persons who fired at him. The only reason that can be assigned for this outrage is, that the father of one of the prisoners had been turned out of a farm of land which Winalow now occupies.'
