STATE OF TIPPERARY.  Accounts have reached town to--day which represent the northern at is of the county of Tirpec.-ery io be in a sta'e bordering on actual inearection. The town of Nenagh has the appearance of a piece preparing for a siege, the streets being crowded with troops despatched thither from the garrison of Limerick, comprising a troop of the l'ith Lancers, and two companies of the 20th Foot, and two or three pieces of ordnance were expected to arrive there in the course of Friday evening. The orders of the military are to scour the disturbed districts day and night in bodies of twenty-five and thirty, and to be in constant readiness for active duty at five minutes' warning. In the mean' time the work of bloodshed and outrage progresses with fearful rapidity. Two more murders were corn mitred in the broad daylight yesterday on the lands of Curraghmore, in the parish of Kilbarron. The names of these unhappy victims to Ribbonistn were Tierney and Gleeson. Major-General Sir Parker Carroll, the commanding officer of the district, has been served with a Rockite notice, warning him to be prepared for the fete which momentarily impends over him, in consequence of ejecting a woman from some I sad, tlia sPme being in direct contravention of the Ribbon Code. The list of outrages, in the shape of similar notices, together with assaults on the person, iSec., would occupy too much of your space. I shall, therefore, merely abridge seine of the particulars elicit7d at the inquest on the body of the wretched Hayes. This barbarous deed was Committed within about six miles of Neuagh, on the borders of the mighty Shannon) anti in one of the wildest districts of Ireland. Contiguous to the house of the unaorffinqyt ami awr occupied i chi y fishermen, l fe-oa, y -idrnn p o enelonelya?cd are situated between dwellings, which are h,uturesque view of that magnificent river. There is no direct passage to tale place, end the Coroner ant his party were obliged, after leaving the high road, to traverse for upwards of a mile an almost inaccessible tract of country ere they reached the fatal spot. Toe first witness examined WAS Bridget Hayes (widow of deceased). Her husband was a carpenter. He was employed on the .'ith inst. in repairing a boat for the Rev. Dean Holmes.Htl left off work between the hours of seven and eight o'clock on that evening. When he came home he ate his supper, tank a smoke, and said his prayers. After that he wont to the door, and saw a man pass by. Witness asked him who the man was, and he replied that he did net know. He then went to the fire and kindled his pipe, and remained standing on the floor t 11 the strange man (whose name witness did not know) came in. The man was armed with a two• handed wattle. He elm,- rNer to the fire and iit his pipe. lie did not sit down ;he stool et the fire. Deceased de.ireil the strange Iran to sit down ;he said he would not. Daring this tame the stick remained on the ground. The deceased then said, " Perhaps you're a man that wants to cross the Shannon ?" to which he replied, that he did not. Deceased then asked him to remain for the nialit, and desired witless to put down his supper. Toe man said he had already eaten it. a•ceasee got op, end walked towards the dresser. \Vitness observed a change come over his counteaance, as if he were afraid, Witness kept her eye on deceased. Did not look round until she heard a blow and saw him fa!l. Witness then ran t.etween the man end deeeat el, lest he might strike him again. The man caught her by the heed, tore her cap and handkerchief, and drageed her out into the yard : he then said, "Ga in now, or I'd give you the aarne treatment I gave him ; give up the lind now." He afterwards went off in an opposite direction t that in which he came. Teis happened about nine o'clock in the evening. When witness weet into the house she found deceased lying on his back. He was kicking and struggling dro.adfuliy at the time. He spoke in a faltering tone. Witntss, assisted by a man named Martin Darmody, put the deceased on a bed. All he said was, that he wished to be taken to his brother. He died about one o'clock on the following slay. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."---Times.
