RANGE HOMICIDE.--On Tuesday, the Ist of January, according to an account in the Dublin Evening Port, a general meeting of the magistrates of the county of Tyrone, among whom were the Earl of Bellmore, Sir John Stewart, Major Crawford, and several others of the most respectable persons in the county, assembled in the Court-house, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances connected with the murder of Michael O'Brien, at Dunmore on the 26th of December. The entire of Friday, and a great part of Saturday was taken up in the examination of witnesses, whose concurrent testimony clearly proved, that previous to the wanton attack of the yeomen, no riot or disturbance of any kind whatever had taken place, either within or without the house, when the man was killed. Lieut. Hamilton who commanded the corks had been apprehended and taken be some magistrates, who would have committed him for the offimce, had not his father, who is himself a magistrate, most solemnly pledged himself to deliver his son to those gentlemen on Friday, the day of the investigation. On the faith of this assurance he was suffeied to remain at liberty, and has escaped from justice by absconding from the county. Afier the investigation was closed, application was made to the chairman, the Earl of Belmore, on the part of the much injured publican, for military assistance to apprehend the offenders. His lordship, however, very properly declined granting it, observing that the civil power must be first employed, but that if, after their exertions, the perpetrators of the crime could not be secured, lie would then endeavour to procure for them the aid of the military.  neductiongf Itents.—The tenants of Mrs.llankey, of Grosvenor-square, London, who is nearly the sole proprietress of Easendine, near Stamford, having presented their petition a short time back for an abatement of rent, have this week received, in and swer to it, an anouncement of the generous determination of that lady to returnfifty per cent. upon her rents due at Michaelmas last, in addition to 16 pet cent. returned at Lady-day, and that her tenants in Essendine shall not be called upon for the last quarter's rent due at Michaelmas last, until Lady next. One of those tenants who has desired the publication of this gratifying instance of liberality, observes, in corroboration of the strict truth of this statement, that his half-years rent has been reduced from 1251. to 521. 10s. (or 661. per cent.) The Roman Catholics of Dublin have voted a congratulatory address to his Excellency the Marquis of Wellesley. An address from the liberties of the city was also vutcxl to the Lord Lieutenant, his answer to which is in the pure of conciliasion, and perfectly in unison with the recommendation of the King to all those in authority under his Majesty.-A King's messenger arrived on Wednesday s'ennight at Limerick, with a respite, directing that the execution of Martin and J. Grady, which was to take place on the following day, should be postponed till further orders. This clemency, it is hoped, will have a salutary effect upon the deluded peasantry. A commercial letter of the 26th ultimo, front Trieste, states, that news bad arrived there, by a vessel from Smyrna, of an embargo having been laid by the Turks on all Greek property. There was, however, according to the report, no want of Millis, of different Eutopean flags, in the Archipe. lag°, for the protectiou of their cuatraerm.
