SIR WILLIAM MURRAY, BART.—We have to announce the death of the above Baronet, who expired on Saturday last, in the 73d year of his age. He was second son of the sixth Baronet, and succeeded to the family honours on the death of his brother, in 1827. By his marriage with Miss Gayton, the deceased leaves issue several children. His eldest son Robert, married iu 1839 to Mrs. A. C. Murray, succeeds his father in the Barmietcy. The family 'seat is Clermont, idU the county of File.  any Conservative concerned in the election would be popular. flan seen Conservatives cheered. Saw a Conservative officer cheered. The army are very popular in Ireland.. The party he escorted to the poll would not be safe, in his opinion, without an escort. Cannotconcdve any place more quiet than Cork in orOinary times. Can move about at all times without the least protection.  To the Committee.—Thinks there was no systematic disturbance. Was overtaken by a Magistrate, who was coming from Clonakilty to vote for the Conservative party,when witness was accompanying the Bantry voters. Be was in a private car with his wife, and he met with no obstruction. There was not greater disturbance at the Cork election than lie saw at other elections in Ireland. There was this new feature in Cork, that the women took part in the disturbance.— (Laughter.) Mr. Roche, of Aghada, and Mr. O'llea, anti two Catholic clergymen advised the crowd to bo peaceable ; they were Liberals ;• dues not conceive there was any systematic opposition ; could nut learn there were any leaders ; heard that there were persons chalked ; did not see any ; heard the fact in conversolior. Daniel Connor, Esq. was next examined by Mr. Smith —Resides at Manche House, in Cork, about thirtythree mileS from the city ; went with some tenants to vote at the lust election fur the county of Cork. Arrived in Cork on Monday morning. Placed the vu- ' tors he had met with in a house in George-street. Had an opportunity of observing the state of the town between this place and the Court-house. The state of the poll was known by half-past two o'clock. It was posted up at the Conservative Committee-room. The people then became very riotous. It would not then be safe to go to the poll. Applied to the Mayor. to swear in more consUsbles ; he replied that it would not be of any use ; that it was better to apply to the Assessor to adjourn the election, because, if they persisted, they would be murdered. His object was to get back the voters, with whom he came, as speedily as 'possible. He communicated his intention of taking away the voters to Mr. Jones. Mr Jones desired him to wait till he had drawn up the troops on each side. They were to be taken by the coach.. The coach drove up, but did not stop ; went back to the Committee-room ; a man was brought in badly wounded ; he and Mr. Adams took him to the Assessor's room, and applied ibr an adjournment of the election ; stones were thrown at them ; no voter was safe at that time. Some time after he was walking on the parade ; stones were thrown at him •, he took a pistol from his pocket, cocked it, and threatened to shoot the first person that threw a stone ; he met Mr. Payne, and gave him another pistol. The moh still followed them. Mr. Payne received two heavy blows from stones. He then fired. His firing was decidedly an act of sell*-defence. His firing checked the people, and they then made their way to Daly's Club. Cross-examined by Mr.
