SHOCKING MURDER.--A shocking murder was perpetrated near herein ea on the thherr road side, thult.T athe uanfpoiratcuenactaellevdicttihme lived in a cabin Toeher. It appears that he had been of very parsimonious habits, and thereby amassed a good deal of money. About this time last year a hand of plunderers who infested this place had been apprehended in consequence of one of them turning Queen's evidence ; and it appeared that they had then resolved to murder this man, John Pew, who owed his escape then to the active exertions of Mr. Donohoe, chief of police, who actually found two of the band sleeping with knives under their heads in Pew's house. At eight o'clock on Sunday evening, a man named Byrne was met on the road by a strange man, who asked him where John Pew lived. Byrne told him in the next cabin. A short time after a mail called at one of those cabins and asked where Pew lived. A little girl from within said Pew's son was there, on which the stranger asked him was he going to Arklow to-night, to which the other replied he was not. About eleven o'clock Pew and his wife were in bed, and his son in a bed near him? when a person called them up and said that their daughter, who lives near Tinahely, was dying; that the priest and doctor had been sent for ; on which the afflicted mother and son hurried off in a car, and on returning they found Pew a corpse, lying on a heap of manure in the bawn. The police soon discovered bloody clothes in some houses near Tinabely, and two bloody shirts, on which some suspicious characters have been arrested. One of them had his brother's clothes on him.—Dublin Evening Packet.  israyAs LthLelAAN,catEiso.n--; ,E, rl ea an tde n a nu sd inh ce er s sfarni et lnyd within F rFa cEeN, war if we refuse to submit to the exigencies of the British cabinet. We trust we have, on a former occasion, demonstrated that this is a vain boast, and that England is by no means in a position to draw her sword in order to support her tyrannical pretensions. She well knows that she no longer possesses the means of subsidizing the coalesced allies, by whose aid Europe triumphed over France. She is perfectly aware that, in the event of a struggle with her, we should find auxiliaries even amongst her own subjects. Ireland, for an example, which formerly furnished the greater part of her military force—lreland, at the voice of France, might escape from her masters, and turn against them. If the French Government offered Ireland, with her 7,000,000 of inhabitants, not to incorporate her with us, but to assist her in recovering her liberty by the aid of our alliance, it was not doubtful but that England would find a formidable enemy on that side. Notwithstanding the divisions so artfully established throughout the soil, Ireland at present comprehends that there is a great question of national existence paramount to her religious interests so dear to her 6,000,000 of oppressed Catholics. The greater part of the Irish Protestants now comprehend this question in the same manner as their ancient adversaries, and united they form a powerful party, which in England is called the French party, and which would take advantage of the first European war to raise the Irish standard under the protection of France." We believe the best and the most complete answer to this article, and the others of the same nature published nearer home, would be found in the dying words of the unfortunate Robert Emmett* His opinion on French alliance is indisputable
