IRI LAND.  The Clonmel Herald contains the following additional particulars, respecting the recent horrid murders at Knockgraffon, and adds that some of the murderers are kr.own:  " It appears from the testimony of a servant woman who was in the house during the greater part of this horrid scene, that two of the brothers (deceased) who were at supper made a bold resistance. Four of the gang first entered, when these two brothers knocked down two of them and closed the door, when the three brothers who were in bed came to their assistance. On this the four ruffians roared out for assistance, when the rest of the villains, abort fourteen, forced in the door and door-frame. They then took out these unhappy brothers one by one, and literally broke in pieces the skulls of the deceased, and fractured those of the survivors. As high as they could lift their hands they raised large stones, and let them fall down on the beads and face of the deceased. One of the ruffians, a large fellow with much hair on his face, placed with one hand the servant maid against the wall of the house, and with the other was cocking a pistol in order to shoot her; at this awful moment, another of the gang interposed, and rescued the unhappy woman, alleging that she was but a servant girl earning her bread, unconnected with the Kinnealys, and in a state of pregnancy ; and that the shot would be beard by the police. It is melancholy to think that some women on the road were aware of the murders while they were being committed,' and had endeavoured to lead the police astray. Two fellows were apprehended. one in the neighbourhood of Lowesgreen, and another within a few miles of this town, and brought into CasheL— Another ruffian, some of whose clothes were found besmeared with blood, and in whose house some cartridges were found, has for the present absconded ; but as there is a strict search after him, it will he impossible for him to escape. The brother who riew lies in the Insrmary at Cashel can speak, and knows four of the murdering twig. Atter the murderous deed was completed, the villains deliberately sat down, and drank three bottles of whisky which they brought with them, and when they emptied the bottles, broke them In pieces on the heads of the poor sufferers." The following are some further particulars of the dreadful fanaticism in Wexford, which we extract from The Dublin Evening Mail: It appears, that three weeks previous to the fatal day, Father Carroll proclaimed from the altar, that he would shortly appoint a el fur the performance of miracles, and for administering relief to diseased persons as put their faith in him. Friday, the 9th Swain, was the day appointed. His intention was made known throughout the country, and hundreds flocked from remote parishes bi witness the ,miracles.—ln evidence that such is the case we tfkr one fact which did not appear before the Coroner's Inquest : —On the day alluded to; a must respectable professional practitioner, Dr. Biggs, was riding through the village of KiUineck, and perceiving a crowd round a woman, who was in strong convulsions, be got off his horse for the purpose of rendering her such assistance as b:s humanity and his knowledge dictated; but the people, although well acquainted with his person and character, would not suffer him to touch her, exclaiming—" that the devil was in her, and that they were waiting for Father Carroll to knock him out." Tins woman's name is Mary Moran; she lies at this moment danZerously ill; her breast bone broken, and otherwise so seriously injured, that she is nut expected to recow.  The public works %ere recommenced at Galway last week. Scarcely a poor person is now unemployed.
