IRELAND.  ASSASSINATION Ote int CARRtCIt. We subjoin some additional particulars concerning the mese_ sination of this gentleman. By the last account* we learn that he has ceased to live. It is really deplorable to think that there are Men So lost to every humane and man*, feeling as to oppoite themSelves to the coercion and restraint of a system and a desperate combination which produces such fruits. The Clare Journal, whence we take the more immediate detail which follows of this horrible occurrence, is publiShed in the town of Ennis, two miles distant only from the fatal Scene ! (Prom the Clare Journal of Thursday.) "We have this day, as a public journalist, a very melancholy duty to perform namely, to record the assassination of Pierce Carrick, Esq., within two miles of this town, at about six o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, on his return home from attending at ' a read sessions at Spaneilhill. De was riding en his tauntingcar, with has servant on one side, when on descending a thnall hill close to the turn into Toureen, a gnu was discharged at him, we believe through the wall. This shot had not the desired effect, the horse swerved to the off-side, and was severely checked by the servant-man, and, upon regaining its position, a second shot was fired by a man who raised himself over the wall, taking deliberate aim at his defenceless and unarmed victim. This shot, fired within a few feet of Mr. Carrigk, unfortunately had fatal effect, striking against his watch, which was broken, and mortally wounding him. Mr. Carrick then, with a wonderful degree of nerve, got off the car, and desired the man to drive into town for a physician, he himself walking to the house of Toureen, and telling the owner, Mr. O'Connell, that he had been fired at. Drs. O'Brien, Cullinan, and Green, were in immediate attendance, but all human aid was of no avail. He died yesterday evening, at about six o'clock. Upon the event being known, Captain Leyne went to Toureen, and had an interview with Mr. Carrick, from whom he received such information as enabled him ' to immediately arrest a man named James Molony, who resided near Dangan. He was brought into the presence of Mr. Carrick, who with remarkable coolness as well as a degree of patient decision, positively declared to his identity, first requiring that he should throw open his great-coat, and then put on his hat. Again on yesterday, when fully sensible that he was dying, Mr. Carrick reiterated his positive testimony that the man already named was the individual who fired at him. An inquest will be held by Mr. Whitestone, coroner, upon his remains. In the month of May last, a murder was committed upon Mr. Gloster, on his return home from attending road sessions at the same place." SPECIAL Commissiow.—The same journal adds—" We understand that the magistrates have communicated withthe lieutenant of the county, Sir Lucius O'Brien, now in Dublin, with a request that he should make application at the Castle, and have the propriety of issuing a special commission taken into consideration. There are cases lying over in the jail that it was intended, we understand, should be tried at the coining assizes, but this horrifying murder being committed so soon after the assizes, seem to warrant the application.
