BARBAROUS MURDER—ATTACK FOR ARMS.—On Wednesday, as Mr. Patrick Shine, of Carrigparson, in this County, a very extensive dairy farmer, and an intelligent and wealthy man, was in his stables, he was alarmed by an uproar in his house. On running in to see what was the matter, he found the house in possession of four armed men, with their faces blackened, whilst some more were outside. Mr. Shine made a rush to where his loaded gun was, but the ruffians intercepted him, and one of them fired at him, when he fell. Mrs. Shine immediately threw herself upon him to save him from their fury, but she was immediataly torn away, when another shot was at once fired into his body, and he was killed on the spot. The ruffians then, having satisfied their vengeacce, went off. Intelligence of the murder reached town this morning, when Mr. Williams, S. 1., and a party of police repaired to the scene of outrage ; but no clue could be got to the murderers. The only cause which can be assigned for this barbarous murder is, that Mr. Shine took a farm last March, from which the former occupier was evicted ; and, although he did so with the consent of the outgoing tenant, and paid him a large fine for his good-will, yet, such is the system of terror established during a lax administration of years, that, on any terms, land must not be taken where a tenant is evicted. We have also to record the attack on the house of a farmer named Quane, at Tuliavin, in this county, by several armed men. One of them dashed in the door, and was immediately seized by Quane, who succeeded in shutting the door before the others entered, and wresting the gun from the fellow, the party outside hearing the struggle, thought that the police were inside, and decamped, leaving their comrade a prisoner. He has been brought in, and is now in our gaol.—Limerick • Standard.  TIDE TABLE  Days. I Mrn  i. i Height.l Sundays, Heydays, h'e  R. 1.1. t 11. N. I F. 1. Tuesday .18 249 3 7 14 3 Prisca.

It seems a pity, therefore, that Messrs. Evans, Earl, and Mellor should waste their sweet voices in a vain endeavour to prove the contrary; and now to matter of fact. In the schools of the Hibernian Society I find that the proportions attending the schools are as follows Protestant 3157 4438 3885 40102  Munster  Leinster  Connaught Ulster ....  Popish 2181 3920 12141 16728  51582 34970 And in the schools of the Irish Society, Irish Sunday School Society. Kildare-place Society, Church Education Society for Ireland, and various other Church of England societies and schools, a very large proportion of the children are of popish parents. Why, the very cause of offence in the Kildare-place Society schools was, that such wholesale conversion from the Romish apostacy was carried on. It roust therefore be pretty clear, even to the muddy intellect of the abovementioned gentlemen, that popish children pretty freely attended that school. And how does the matter stand in Newfoundland ? Why, above half the children attending the protestant schools are of popish parents. Indeed the offspring of papists would be in a melancholy state if this were not the case, for the education offered to such children by the priesthood of their own persuasion, is rather of a limited and confined nature. I would be bold to say that there are a larger number of popish children educated by protestants than by papists. In conclusion, if I might humbly tender my advice to the terrier rf the Towncouncil, who lately became so snappish, and like the generality of low-bred curs turned back-biter, I would say, gently Pincher, " every• dog has had his day ;" but the dogdays are over for the present.—l remain yours, &e.
