IRELAND.  Kinsale Election.—Mr. Hawes has been returned by a majority, 85 to 79. There are not less than 27,000 persons on the out-door relief in the. union of Ballinrobe, Mayo. The cost of outdoor rations is about £BOO per week, and, with the expense of the workhouse, would amount to £50,000 per annum. The whole valuation of the union amounts to £BO,OOO per annum only. Frightful Accident.—A most melancholy acciden t occurred on Thursday night, in the Coleraine Distillery. A man of the name a M‘Kinney, maltster, while in the performance of his duties in an upper loft, turning malt, mistook his way coming down, and was precipitated to the ground; through two hatchways, a distance of twenty feet. The poor man was shockingly bruised, and his spine so much injured, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. He was conveyed to the hospital, and every attention paid to him by Dr. Babington. An Extraordinary Hypocliondriac.—There is at present residing at Johnstown, county Kilkenny, agentleman of the name of Darmody, who, in one of those singular freaks of imagination, fancied that by constantly partaking of -the flesh of geese, lie will become possessed of a perfect coating of feathers, under which delusion he makes purchases of enormous quantities. This is a fact well known in the locality.—Limerick Chronicle. Murder in Cork.—On Friday evening the body ot a young woman was discovered weltering in gore, life being just extinct, in a piece of waste ground below the corn market, in Cork. The body was removed by the police, and next born: tag a knife covered with blood was toned nesir this+epot' with a few coppers scattered about. The wound, which caused the death of the unfortunate woinan, entered the neck under the ear, and pierced through and through. The knife found was of foreign manufacture. The woman had been in the city only a few days, and had been seen in company with females of doubtful character, among whom she had given an account of herself, which has turned out to be false. She was about twenty-eight years of age, and was rather well-looking. Desperate Outrage.—Eight men, four of them armed, entered the house of Denis Hayes, of Ballynacabara, near Askeaton, on the evening of the 3d inst. Hayes apprehending violence, got under a table, which was immediately broken on him by two of the party leaping on it; and baring thus become exposed to their fury, they struck at Hayes on the ground with their guns, upon which his wife threw herself over her husband to protect him. In this state they dragged both along the floor into the yard, where they again commenced kicking and beating Hayes and his wife in the most cruel manner, inflicting severe injury, especially on Mrs. Hayes! They then broke five windows in the house, several articles of furniture, and on leaving said to Hayes, " take care that you take no more land." Hayes is a most industrious and prosperous man, and the only reason assigned for this outrage is, that he took from his landlord, Carrel Neigh, of Ballycullen, Esq., a portion of land on the same townland, which bad been given up to Mr. Naish with the full concurrence of the former occupiers, to whom Mr. Naish gave a sum of money to assist in their emigration to America.--Limerick Chronicle.
