IRELAND.  Mr. John O'Connell has addressed the Irish people on the part of the Repeal Association, exhorting them by every obligation of morality and law, and enforcing his exhortation by evoking his father's memory, to pay the landlords their rents, and the Government the rates. He warns them against being made the tool of the landlords, who care not to shed the people's blood, so they procure a remission of the advances; and he tells them that by the present poorlaw, if necessary, the landlord's property is pledged for the support of the poor, even to confiscation. King's County.— The King's County Chronicle states that there is a wide-spread conspiracy against the payment of rents, and gives the following illustration in support of the fact —"A: landowner in the neighbourhood of Clara having intimated to a tenant in comfortable circumstances, after repeated application for payment of his rent, that he would enforce it by distress of his property, on the night of the day on which this conversation took place nearly 1000 persons assembled, cut down and carried away a large quantity of grain crops; while these unlawful acts are nightly increasing, and every fraudulent means are resorted to by the tenantry to defraud the landlords of their rights." Murder of a Soldier—Tralee, Tuesday.—lt became generally known throughout the town this morning that a soldier of the 77th depot, stationed at our barracks, had been murdered last night. It appeared that two of the soldiers were playing cards at a low shebeen house in the neighbourhood of the barracks with some of the people of the vicinity, and a number of those unfortunatefemales that infest our streets. A dispute arose, and the two soldiers, being unassisted, had to contend against superior numbers, and were beaten, one of them to death. The comrade of the worst treated, having him on his back, removing him towards the barrack, the assailants followed, and literally smashed the skull of the then deceased man. The other poor fellow had to part with his mangled comrade to save his life by flight, and is at present in a precarious state. Two young men residing near the barrack, namely, Golden and Riordan, were apprehended by the police, who were accidentally coming against j them, being out on duty. They are now in ail, with a woman who assisted, and it is said no doubt is entertained of their culpability. The name of the deceased has not transpired, but he was a young man from the county Tipperary. —Cork Examiner. Attempt to Fire Kilkenny Jail.—Late in the evening of Wednesday week, an alarm was raised in the misdemeanour ward of the Kilkenny prison, and a cry was made that it was on fire. The governor and turnkeys immediately hastened to the spot, and found the place filled with dense smoke, and that it proceeded from the grate where the frame work of the door was burning, it having been torn down and set fire to by the persons in confinement. Two of the prisoners were found to have been concerned in the affair. Upon being interrogated, one of them alleged that he merely wanted to warm himself, whilst the other stated that it was his intention to burn everything before him. These fellows were immediately placed in solitary confinement. The matter underwent investigation before the magistrates on Thursday.
