DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER.  We bave the following account of the murder of the five policemel from a Clare gentleman having the best means of obtaining authentic information :  A party of the deluded peasantry attacked the house of Mr. John Cahill, of Liedoonvarna. on Sunday evening. The place was defended by a police serjeant and four men, and the assailants were beaten off; leaving one man who was killed, and another who was taken prisoner, be. hind them. On the next mowing the police party were conveying their prisoner to their bar-racks, whau they were encountered bya number of the peasantry, some of them arased.—The declared object of the peasantry was to liberate the prisoner, and this they hoped to do by a chew of strength and numbers alone. The police party prepared for the most, determined resistance, and, it is said, In the first place, disposed of their prisoner by shooting him.—This exasperated the assailants, and regular firing commenced on both aides. Two of the policemen were in a short time wounded, and the others endeavoured to effect a retreat. It is said that they succeeded in keeping off the multitude for a mile of the public road, and were not at length overpowered until they exhausted all their ammunition. It is ascertained that two of the assailants have been killed, and it is conjectured that a number were wounded and removed to the mountains.  We regret exceedingly to learn, that u yet there ittle appearance of returning tranquillity• At the last market day, a fellow well mounted and armed with a case of pistols, had the audacity to rid into the town of Ennis, and tell the weigh-master that if be attempted to weigh po  I fate's for mere than Ed *stow. he should be shot. Aftet be bad ate tered this threat in the boning of a number of persons, be plopped off, without any one making an effort to stop him Our correepoodeet thus closes his last letter The reign of terror le at its height. The fury of the people rages, and before long, I fear you will bear of more murders and robberies. Aggresdoos on life and property are Indiscriminately committed ; in short, no man is safe." The following are further details of the movements of the Lord Lieutenant:  Ewen, Wednesday Evening.—The Marquis of Anglesey went into the barony of Tula yesterday, and arrived here about seven o'clock in the evening. This day he received several addresses, from eleven until four o'clock. One was from the trades of the town, to which a written answer was given. Another was on behalf of the people of the country, presented by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, accompanied by about four or five others. To this only a verbal answer was given, and it was remarked that the deputation were received very coolly. The next persons who witted on his Excellency were the Roman Catholic and Clergy in a body. With the Bishop and Dean O'Shaughnessy he had a private interview, in which he urged them to use their influence with tire people to give up their arms, &c. The Dean asked if the people could be induced, by any thing they could press upon them from the altars, to give up their arms, whether they could promise the people an amnesty for past offences, except in cases of murder, with regard to which no compromise could be per. mitted. His Excellency referred to the Attorney.Genend, who would not give any promise, and the Dean declared his belief that the efforts of the clergy could, under such circumstances, be of little use. The gentry of the country, affecting to be afraid to hold an open meeting, got up in private their address. The O'Connell and O'Gorman Mahon party held a sort of public meeting, called by Steele, who sent about the bellman and agreed upon an address, with which the Noble Marquis appeared to be well pleased. At four o'clock he set off for Lord Goa's, without any escort. I know not whether I have any thing further to mention, except that two men, charged with the attack on the house of Mr. Martin, of Fountain, and robbery of fire-arms, were yesterday arrested in our streets. They were recognised by a servant maid, and were afterwards identified by Miss Martin.
