PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE
      LIMERICK, SEPT. 11 - Last night, about eight o'clock, a young villain
ran into the shop of Mr. Myles, of Rutland-street, and snatching a
candle-stick, effected his escape, notwithstanding a very close pursuit
after him. - There were several persons standing in the shop at the time.
      Thursday night a man named Walsh, driver in Captain Comptons's estates,
in the Liberties, was beaten by a party of fellows near Mungret. He states
that they struck him with the butt-ends of their pistols, and threatened his
life. His head is severely injured, and his body contused in almost every
part.
      Colonel Parker, of the 39th Regiment, went to Abbeyfeale on Thursday,
to investigate and inquire into the circumstances connected with the riot
there.
      Daniel Reardon and William Hartnett, two of the rioters in Abbeyfeale,
are in such danger, that little hopes are entertained of their recovery. The
unfortunate man, Roche, who was shot on Sunday, in Abbeyfeale, said, the
evening of that melancholy occurrence, that he forgave the soldier who had
fired at him, and requested that none of his friends should take any part in
bringing him to trial. On the inquest they did not produce a single witness
or seem any way anxious about the affair.
      It is reported that one of the men, wounded at Abbeyfeale on Sunday has
since died of the wound he received.
      The home of a dairyman, named Rahilly, on the lands of Drewcourt,
Barony of Upper Connelloe, in this county, was broken into by a gang of
fellows, who demanded money to buy powder; on being refused, they robbed the
house of two firkins of butter, two hundred of bleached linen yarn, and two
pairs of shoes. And on the night of Tuesday last, the house of a man at
Rockhill, in the same barony, was maliciously burned. In both these cases
informations have been sworn before that valuable Magistrate, G. Massy, Esq.
of Glenwilliam.
      One hundred tons of timber has been purchased during this week from Mr.
O'Neill, of this city, for the construction of a floating raft for the
management of the diving bell at the bridge works.
      At the fair of Hospital, on Wednesday, a fight commenced about dusk, in
the streets, between two fellows, opposite the house of a man named Fleming
whose son was then putting up the shutters, and on seeing the Police some
up, he went into his house, where he was followed by two Sub-Constables
stationed in that town. The Police suspecting that he was one of the
rioters, were dragging him out, and on his refusing to comply, one of them
named Joseph Bell, stabbed him deliberately with a bayonet in the hips. The
wound, which is four inches in depth, is considered very dangerous by the
Police Surgeon, Mr. Franklin, jun., who visited the man shortly after. Bell
has been committed by the High Sheriff, who has taken the depositions of the
wounded man. We cannot but advert to the number of injuries of this kind
inflicted by these Constables, especially when contrasted with the humane
and steady demeanor of the Peace Police, of which we have a meritorious
instance in the conduct of one of that Police at the riot in Abbeyfeale on
Sunday last.

BALLINA CHRONICLE

GENERAL CONVICT PRISON FOR IRELAND
      The new building near Phibsborough, on the North Circular-road,
intended as a general convict depot, was on Tuesday declared ready for the
reception of inmates, and persons under sentence of seven or ten years'
transportation will be drafted there forthwith from the several gaols
through Ireland. The building is intended to contain 650 male convicts, and
will be conducted somewhat upon the plan of the model prison at Pentonville.
The convicts will be taught different branches of trade, and if by their
good conduct and industry, after a probation of twelve months, they entitle
themselves to a certificate of good character, they will be sent abroad at
the public expense and entitled to tickets of leave on landing, whereby they
may enter into employment or become settlers. For those not conforming to
the rules, the discipline is said to be very severe, solitary confinement
and the silent system being among the rigours they will be subject to. The
building is spacious and well ventilated and remarkably commodious. On
passing from the front entrance through the great hall, where the apartment
of turnkeys and minor officers are, you enter a wide area, from the floor of
which a distinct view of the whole interior is obtained at one glance. This
is effected by means of a spiral staircase of iron, in bars and railings,
rising from the centre, and leading to corridors of the same material which
traverse the building in every direction in front of the cells. - These
extend three stories high from the floor to the top, so that a person
standing in the hall could see every movement in the galleries, staircases,
or elsewhere beyond the cell doors. The cells are fitted up each end with a
low hammock, mattress, blankets, and counterpane, and are supplied with
every requisite for the accommodation of one prisoner, in the most simple
and plain manner. They are each furnished with an alarm or night bell, by
means of which the inmate in case of sudden illness or other cause, may
summon the turnkeys. The doors are of heavy cast iron, shutting with a
spring which fastens from the outside, and are provided with a circular spy
hole guarded with iron wire, by means of which the officer on duty can at
all times watch the movement of the inmate, while he cannot see anything
outside the walls of his cell. The cells are spacious, scrupulously clean,
and ventilated on an effective principle, which affords a thorough current
of fine air. There are numerous other buildings within the walls- the
governor's and deputy governor's residences, places of worship, by which,
while the prisoners can see the clergyman and assist at divine service, they
cannot hold any communication with each other, being perfectly isolated.
There are, besides, workshops for the various trades, an hospital, exercise
yard, cooking-house, laundries, &c. Indeed the utmost attention seems to
have been paid to all arrangements requisite for securing the health of the
convicts, and for their useful occupation and safe custody. -- Freeman.

NENAGH ASSIZES - Thursday
Trial of Dr. Langley for the murder of his Wife.
      The Right Hon. Judge Ball took his seat on the bench in the Crown
Court, at ten o'clock. A few minutes after the prisoner, Dr. Langley, came
into the dock, and advancing to the front bowed to his Lordship. He was
dressed in black, his long black hair was parted on his forehead, and fell
down over his shoulders. The moustaches which he wore last assizes were
shaved off on the present occasion. - There was nothing in his appearance
that could betray the forty days' fast, which he averred he had undergone.
      Mr. Scott, for the Crown, consented to quash one indictment, and
entered a nolle prosequi on that preferred at last assizes.
      The Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to call over the panel and the
following are the names of the jury sworn, 26 of the panel having been
previously set aside or challenged - John Bennett, John Crawford, Samuel
Cooke, James Willington, Solomon B. Cambie, John Hemsworth, John Phillips,
Ralph Smith, Thomas Dolan, Richard Short, Richard Nash, Dudley Byrne.
      The jury having been sworn, the prisoner was given in charge for that
he before and on the 5th December, in the year 1848, not having the fear of
God before his eyes, and contriving and intending wilfully and feloniously
on his malice prepense to kill and murder Eleanor Langley, his wife, on the
5th December, 1848, or on the 1st May 1849, did so kill and murder her, by
confining here against her will in a certain cold, unwholesome, and
unhealthy lodging, and by declining to give her sufficient medicine and
proper food for the support of her body. Another count stated that death was
caused by his providing her with food injurious to her body and health.
      Clerk of the Crown - How say you, Charles Langley, guilty or not
guilty?
      Prisoner (in a loud voice) - Not Guilty.
      Mr. Scott, Q.C., then addressed the court and jury for the prosecution.
      The following witnesses were examined for the prosecution, in support
of the indictment and counsel's statement: - Eliza Rohan, who lived in Dr.
Langley's house as servant; Mary Cleary, Gabriel Prior, clerk to Dr.
Langley; Margaret Meara, landlady of the house in which Mr. Langley lodged;
Thomas Pound, the servant whose evidence on the inquest created such horror
when he said he was instigated to improper intimacy with Mrs. Langley while
on her sick bed; Dr. Francis Cahalen, James M'Grath, groom to Dr. Langley,
Dr. O'Neill Quin, Dr. Edward Kitson, who attended the post mortem
examination on the body of Eleanor Langley, and found it in a state of great
emaciation and attenuation, and remembered Mrs. Langley to come to his house
on several occasions for something to eat; Dr. Finucane, Dr. Frith, Rev.
Benjamin F. Bewley, and Mary Clanchy. This witness's evidence showed the
case for the prosecution.

FRIDAY.
      Judge Ball entered court this morning at 9 o'clock. The court was
densely crowded.
      Mr. Martley, Q.C., proceeded in an able address to speak to the defense
for the prisoner.
      THE RESULT. - The jury, at 9 o'clock at night, returned a verdict of
"Not Guilty."

PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE

      ENNIS, SEPT. 13 - Tuesday, as the Right Hon. John Ormsby Vandeleur and
Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Bart. were riding toward Kilrush, from Kilmore, the
seat of Poole Hickman, Esq. the horse of the former becoming restive, threw
him on his side, which was bruised severely; he also received a slight
contusion on the forehead. His carriage was sent for immediately, and he was
removed to his mansion, at Kilrush, when medical assistance was sent for -
we are happy to learn, that no dangerous consequences are apprehended.
      Thursday, a poor man dropped apparently dead, in the streets of
Kilrush. Will it be believed that want of food was the cause of this
melancholy circumstance?
      The entire amount of Presentments granted at the last Assizes of the
County of Clare, is £8916.5s.0d.

      CORK, SEPT. 11 - On Wednesday night last, some keepers who had
distrained crops on the lands of Ballinure, at Blackrock, within the
liberties of Cork, where there were two years rent due to the landlord, John
T. Rye, Esq. were visited by an armed party, who ordered them into a house,
on threat of shooting them if they disobeyed. When inside, the door was
locked on them, and all the corn, &c., comprising the chief part of the
distress, was removed from the lands. This is another specimen of what the
liberals term "returning tranquility."
      The Arabian pony rode by Lord Combermere, carried Napoleon at the
battle of Waterloo.
      Wednesday the Anne and Amelia sailed from Cork with convicts to New
South Wales.

HOW TO CATCH AND HOW TO CURE A COLD
      At this time of the year colds are easily caught, and difficult to
cure. The following will be found effectual: - After a quick walk in the
evening, sit in the draft to cool; the consequence will be a severe cold,
attended with cough; the next day hoarseness, short breath, and much
expectoration; in the evening, at seven, go to a well-frequented tavern, and
drink three or four glasses of strong punch, or stiff rum and water; stay
till eleven, walk home cosey, and go to bed; you need not get up the next
day, but send for the apothecary, the following day for the physician, and
the third day your friends will send for the undertaker. You will never feel
the effects of an autumnal cold afterwards.

      DREADFUL OCCURRENCE IN THE COUNTY OF ARMAGH - The peaceful town and
neighbourhood of Portadown have been horrified to an unprecedented extent,
by an act of deliberate assassination, committed in the vicinity on the
night of Tuesday, the 19th, when Mr. John G. Woolsey, of Clounagh, about
three quarters of a mile from the town was shot in his room while preparing
to go to bed. From the evidence taken before the magistrates and coroner,
the facts appear to be these - Mr. Woolsey, who had quitted the house after
tea returned about half-past nine, and, after stopping a short time in the
kitchen, took his candle and proceeded up stairs to his chamber. He had not
long been there - not more than ten minutes - when the maid servant, who had
remained below, heard a shot, succeeded by the falling of some heavy body in
the room above; on entering the room she found Mr. Woolsey extended on the
floor, near the window, bleeding but still showing signs of life. An alarm
was instantly made and the best medical aid procured from Portadown, with as
little delay as possible, but to no purpose, the unfortunate gentleman
having expired in a short time thereafter. On examination, it appeared that
a bullet fired from without, after perforating the glass of the window, had
passed through his head, and was found lodged among some clothes in a
wardrobe. The police were immediately on the alert. Mr. Atkinson, the
coroner, held an inquest on the body on Wednesday, but as yet, there is no
clue to the perpetrator of so foul a deed.

PRIESTLY INTOLERANCE

      Father O'Neill of fighting notoriety is once more before the public in
another though no less creditable phase of character. His holy oil, more
harmless than his "skull-cracker," has lately been in requisition to secure
a safe transit form this world for a poor deluded heretic. The reverend
minister, however, is not an exception among his brethren. The desire to
gain converts is deeply and universally inculcated in the Romish church. The
edict has gone forth. By every means and at every point those who have
protested against the errors of that church must be assailed; every
advantage must be taken and exulted over as a victory achieved. An end is to
be accomplished and that end justifies the means and the means are regulated
by the circumstances of the times and the country. Nothing is deemed too
trifling to gain and therefore we find the priest hastening whenever he can
to the unconscious dying Protestant to perform an useless and unscriptural
rite, that he may glory over what he considers to be a successful thrust at
the Protestant cause. Frequently have instances come before our notice of
emissaries from Rome obtaining access through a servant or other friendly
person to the bed side of a Protestant in a dying state unconscious of what
was going on, and there use the "holy oil" and then claim the dead as a true
convert to the Roman Catholic faith; but never have we heard of a more
barefaced and unchristian transaction than that recorded by a correspondent
of the Sligo Guardian which we here give as an additional instance of
Priestly intolerance and as a cautionary example:-
      A Police Constable named Greer, a native of Antrim, and a Protestant,
was attacked by paralysis during the assizes and placed under Dr. Homan's
care, until the night of the 18th inst. when a sudden fit of convulsions
deprived him of life.
      The Rev. Samuel Shone, curate of this parish accompanied the police to
the cemetery, and when about performing the burial service, was strangely
interrupted by the celebrated fighting priest O'Neill, who followed by a
large assemblage of pickpockets and low ruffians, insisted on his right of
burying the constable, because, forsooth, on the evening of his death, when
inward agony had deprived him of all consciousness, he gave him some holy
oil! as a passport to another world, at the instigation of some country girl
to whom the deceased had been clandestinely married some time previous.
      The scene that followed baffles all description. The police officer was
asked by the priest with that calm dignity and angelic expression of
countenance peculiar to the son of the church, "would he dare to stop him,"
and the motley group shouted out a savage negative-stones were flung, and a
constable had to be sent for Capt. Whelan.
      During the interim the light-fingered gentry had a rich harvest from
the pockets of the few respectable persons present, and the search for
handkerchiefs, shouts of "O'Neill for ever," "save the poor peeler from the
devil," only equalled the similar scenes now and then enacted in Dingle.
While the presiding genius of the affray, "grinned horribly a ghastly
smile," as he awaited the decision of the authorities.
      I cannot tell how it occurred, but brute force was triumphant - a
Northern Protestant was consigned to a popish grave, without a single
relative near him, and the feeling of his comrades may be learned from the
words of one to whom I spoke on the matter. - "Poor Greer, when I was in
church with him at the assizes  I little thought a priest would bury him." -
Further comment is useless.

POTATO PLANTING
      The preparations which are making in every part of this portion of the
province are on a scale far more extensive than any former year within our
recollection. Cattle are sold and even several articles of household
furniture and wearing apparel at tremendous sacrifices by the poor
landholders to purchase seed potatoes. The chief cause of this is obvious,
and it affords a practical proof of the ruinous policy of Free Trade in this
country. The small farmers, who allowed themselves to be led into the
conviction that "Protection" was a curse by those who hated the aristocracy
and exulted in anything that might injure the landed proprietors, are now
sadly convinced that the export trade of Ireland is ruined - that there is
no longer a market for any description of grain. The potato always found a
ready market at home and remunerated the grower, so much so that £5 and £6
were willingly given for what was called a con-acre. Potatoes are even now
fetching a higher price though they are by no means scarce and have to
compete with Indian meal. The price of former years is confidently expected
and the success of the crop last year is an encouragement to its very
extensive cultivation this year. Should there be such a failure this year as
we had in 1846 and '47 the consequences must be fearful, but this there is
no reason to dread. In any case, however, it is to be much regretted that
the people are compelled in self-defence to occupy the land they are in a
position to cultivate with a crop which if successful can only bring
temporary relief.

INSTRUCTIONS TO EMIGRANTS TO THE UNITED STATES; BY THE EMIGRANTS' FRIEND
SOCIETY OF PHILADELPHIA

      The following is taken from the American Citizen and Emigrant
Advertiser of March 2nd, 1850, published at Philadelphia and New York:-
      1. Before making any arrangements for a passage, apply in person, or by
letter, to the society at the port from which you design to sail, for advice
and assistance in obtaining a ship, procuring provisions, &c. If there be no
society or accredited agent in the port, then apply to the government
emigration agent.
      2. After your ship leaves the port, your name and residence can be sent
per steamer to the secretary of the Philadelphia society, and be received -
so that your friends in America will have tidings of you before your
arrival; but for this you will have to pay one shilling, the price of
advertisement.
      3. Previous to leaving port, you will do well to procure a copy of
"Hints to Emigrants," which will be an interesting book to read on the way,
and will give you much valuable information and advice.
      4. Read carefully the annexed laws regulating emigrant ships, and see
that everything on board is as the law directs.
      5. If your funds do not exceed £10, bring out the amount in new
sovereigns, requesting the Captain to take charge of it during the voyage.
The money should be sealed up, with your name, number of your berth, and the
amount written on it. The frequent cases of money lost on board makes this
plan desirable. If your funds exceed £10, deposit it in any banking house
transacting business with the United States; bring with you a letter of
credit, leaving a duplicate with some friend.
      6. If your port is New York, you will find on reaching quarantine, an
agent distributing a handbill, headed "Office of commissioners of
emigration." Read this bill carefully.
      On arriving at the wharf do not be in a hurry to go ashore. Leave your
luggage in safe hands (do not trust a fellow passenger unless you know him),
and go to the office of the American Citizen, where you will find suitable
boarding houses advertised, and all other information that you may need. -
Boarding houses advertised in the American Citizen, will generally treat you
well, but to be secured from imposition, you must remember that the law
requires the price of board and lodging to be hung up in the house; nothing
is said about luggage, and a common method of swindling emigrants is to
charge exorbitantly for storage, as it is called; make your bargain
separately for this; you will pay nothing unless it is a large quantity; in
that case have the agreement in writing. Unless otherwise directed under our
authority, by our agent, or by the government agent, you had better purchase
an inland passage ticket until you arrive in America.
      7. If you travel into the interior, take specie, and not bank bills.
Purchase also what provisions you may need on the route, before you start,
as you will often be charged exorbitant prices on the way.
      8. When you get settled in your new home, write to the office of the
American Citizen, stating the particulars of your situation, prospects, &c.
      9. If you wish to get employment, go to the British Protection
Society's Office, in Greenwich-street, or to the Irish Emigrant Office, in
Spruce-street, or to the Commissioners of Emigration, City-Hall.
      10. Heed no one accosting you and offering you advice, either on board
ship (save the commissioners agent), on the wharf, or in the street;
especially avoid such persons as are very gentlemanly in appearance and
profess great regard for you. Suffer no stranger, under any pretence
whatever, to accompany you to an office, either at your port of embarkation
or debarkation; if any one insists on accompanying you, give him in charge
to a police-officer or let it be known at the office that you have not
employed him. His object is to get commission at least, and this may come
out of your pocket.
      11. If thus advised, you let the land sharks - the runners, get hold of
you, it will, remember, be your own fault.
      The society's agent in Liverpool is Mr. E. Jones, 25, Union-street.

FARE TO AMERICA

      "B.C., a Constant Reader," thus writes to the Farmer's Gazette - "A
new-married couple being desirous of going to America, wishes to know
through the medium of your widely-circulated journal, the fare from
Liverpool to New York or Boston, or which is the best place for such to go,
or what is the least sum they would want after providing every thing for
their passage. - The fare of emigrants is constantly fluctuating; last week
the price was from Dublin to either New York or Boston, via Liverpool, £3
15s., with a certain allowance of rations; this week it is up to £4 12s. and
£5. The rations are: - 2 1/2lbs. bread or biscuit, 1lb. wheaten flour, 5lbs.
oatmeal, 2lbs. rice, and 1lb. pork (in all 11 1/2lbs.) with 2oz. tea, 1/2lb.
sugar, 1/2lb. molasses, and 21 quarts of water per week. In addition to this
passengers will require to take with them some little extras- say a little
more tea, sugar, &c., some coffee, a little bacon, a few eggs, &c., the
quantities of with they may easily calculate, by laying in sufficient with
the above for a voyage. The ship provides berths to sleep in, three feet six
inches wide for two persons, and others four feet six inches (adapted for
families with young children). Passengers have to find their own bedding,
and such small cooking and eating utensils as they may require. Tin ware
will do and can be got cheap here or in Liverpool. The best information
about America, &c., is to be had in the Emigration Guide and Almanac, price
4d., which can be sent to the country postpaid, on receipt of sixpence, or
postage stamps, on application to any of the emigration agents.

said Essex County, as they were going to Baskin Ridge, where
they lived, to get bail for the Actions they were then taken
upon, not known to the Sheriff, to be for Felony and Forgery,
as they since appear to be, which the prisoners then knew,
viz. WILLIAM HAMILTON, for Sheep stealing, at the Camp on
Staten Island, born in Ireland, about 50 Years old, a lusty,
dirty slouching Butcher, much Sun burnt, wears a cut Wig,
seldom combed; has an impudent Boy his Son, about 14 Years
old, with him; he has several other Actions against him, for
which Sylvester Cole, became special Bail, and unless he is
soon taken, must pay the Debts and Costs. His Wife and
Children are since gone to him.

JOHN BARCLAY, for Forgery, born in Ireland, about 50 Years
of Age, a short chunkey Fellow, of sandy Complexion, full of
Palaver when drunk (which is as often as he can) talks thick
and quick, is a Clothier by Trade. They both went to the
Southward last Spring, were at Pequea last July, and would
have been taken there if one Andrew McGown had not helped them
to escape, and secreted them, well knowing they had left me,

Willis Creek, but most likely about Susquehannah; but if
they are further Southward, even to Carolina, it is hoped they
will be apprehended, as such Villains ought not to be
countenanced. Whoever apprehends and secures them, so that I
may have them again, or brings them to me or my Goal keeper,
shall have for Hamilton Fifty Dollars, and for Barclay Thirty
Dollars, and all reasonable Charges, paid by JONATHAN HAMPTON,

Wednesday, April 3, 1850

     THE POTATO - Nothing like the absolute rage for potato sowing which now
prevails throughout the South of Ireland has been remembered by that
extraordinary being to whom reference is so often made - namely the oldest
inhabitant. It seems to be a universal principle to sow as much land with
the treacherous esculent as possible. We have heard of persons sowing five,
and six, and eight and ten acres, who, in the most prosperous seasons, never
sowed more than half an acre in any previous year. In Clare the breadth of
land down is most extensive. In Tipperary it is equally so. In Waterford it
is the same; while in Limerick the name of an enterprising gentleman has
been mentioned to us who has already no less than twenty acres under potato
seed, partly, for the purpose of raising pigs! Should the root come to a
prosperous maturity, potatoes in good sooth will be as plenty as
blackberries about the middle of July.-- Limerick Chronicle.

      EARLY MUSHROOMS - On Thursday and Friday last, in a field belonging to
Mr. Peard Cooleabbey, a dish of remarkably fine mushrooms was picked. What
renders the growth of these mushrooms singular is, that the grass had been
closely eaten down by cattle.-- Cork Constitution.

      - The universal determination of the Irish people seems to be, that the
potatoes must grow. They will listen to no intimations or premonitions to
the contrary. Since the year 1845, so large a quantity of potatoes has not
been planted in any one year as are already committed to the earth. It is a
desperate venture, in every way to be deplored; for, be the immediate result
what it may, it cannot come to good. Should the crop flourish, there is an
end to the agricultural improvement of Ireland.--Mail.

      EARLY VEGETATION - In a garden belonging to Mr. William Ellis, at
Carramote, some potato stalks may be seen shooting over the ground. This is
very early, considering the severe weather experienced during the past
fortnight. The potatoes were planted in the latter part of January. The same
may be seen in Mr. Little's garden, at Iceland Cottage.

      NOVEL IMPORTATION - Some day last week a small hooker from Killybegs in
the county of Donegal, put into the quay of Killala with a cargo of potatoes
called "Rattlers." They were sold out in small quantities at 2s.4d. per
cwt.; and a gentleman from that neighbourhood who purchased some of them
describes them as the best of the sort he has ever seen. They were intended
for this town, but owing to the severity of the weather, the vessel was
unable to clear the bar.

     SERIOUS ACCIDENT - We deeply regret to announce that on yesterday
afternoon, as the Rev. Marcus M'Causland, the highly respectable rector of
this parish, was returning from visiting the auxiliary workhouse in Castle
Gate, and the rev. gentleman was severely injured - his leg having been
fractured in two places. He was conveyed on a car to the rectory. - Medical
assistance was immediately procured, and we are glad to learn that he is
going on as favourably as can be expected. -- King's Co. Chronicle.

THE CONVICT JOHN O'GRADY
      It will be seen by the annexed communication that Government has spared
the life of John O'Grady, under sentence of execution in the gaol of
Limerick, for the murder of his wife and servant girl, at Martinstown: -
                      "Dublin Castle, 29th March, 1850.
      "Sir - I am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to transmit his
Excellency's warrant commuting the sentence of death passed on John O'Grady,
prisoner in the gaol of the county of Limerick, to transportation for the
term of his natural life. - I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
servant.
                                          "T. N. REDINGTON.
      "To the High Sheriff county Limerick."
      When this intelligence was communicated to Mr. O'Grady by the Governor,
he evinced no apparent gratification at escaping an ignominious death on the
scaffold.
~~~~~
      DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE  - On the night of Saturday last, or on the morning
of Sunday, some miscreant of human shape, set fire to an outhouse at the
Four Roads, within six miles of this town, belonging to Mrs. Donlon, of
Cloghan Castle, and in which ten heifers, the property of that lady, were
being housed, all of whom were utterly consumed, no one being there at the
time to give any alarm; and so surely did they go about their business that
they placed a quantity of straw outside the door, and then set it on fire
least any one should get into their relief. Three tons of hay were also
consumed. We have not heard of any reason assigned for this revolting
deed. -- Roscommon Messenger.

EMIGRATION
      Mr. Buchanan, chief agent for emigration at Quebec, states, in his
report for 1849, to the Governor General of Canada, Lord Elgin: - The adult
passengers on board the whole number of vessels (447) were 31,145. The 134
ships from England might have legally carried 16,569 passengers more than
the number embarked; the 59 vessels from Scotland might have carried 8,212
more than they had; the vessels from Irish ports were 150, and these were
filled to within 3,852 adult passengers. The average passages were - from
England 45 days; from Ireland, 45 1/2; from Scotland 41 1/2. The emigration
of 1849 shows a considerable increase in the mortality in comparison with
that of 1848. The deaths from cholera on board three vessels from Limerick
arrived in May - the Lady Peel, the Jane Black and the Jessie - carrying
1,018 passengers, were 103. These on board the Jane, from New Ross, with 372
passengers, were 33. These on board the Sarah from Sligo with 280, were 81.
The greatest proportionate mortality occurred on board of vessels from the
ports of Newry, Limerick, Dublin, Liverpool and Greenock. Among 851 persons
from Newry, the deaths were 61; those among 7,285 from Limerick were, 353;
of 2,274 from Dublin, 91 died; of 4,405 from Liverpool, there died 99; of
625 from Greenock, 79 died. The brig "Hannah" from the port of Newry, was
lost in the ice on the night of the 29th April. It appears that she sailed
with 176 passengers; 14 persons went down with the vessel, and 35 perished
subsequently from exposure. The other vessel was the brig, Maria, from
Limerick, with 111 passengers, and a crew of 10 seamen. She foundered at sea
on the night of the 12th May, in consequence of her coming in contact with
sunken ice. Only nine passengers and three of the crew were saved. The total
loss by these two disasters amounted therefore to 151 lives.

Dublin.

THE LATE MURDER NEAR KILLALA
      Terence Mulherin, the elder of the brothers charged with the murder of
Jennings, lately committed near Killala, has been arrested under the
following circumstances: - A woman from this neibhbourhood, to whom  the
Mulherins were known, received a letter in Liverpool, where she has been
some time living, from an acquaintance, wherein was mentioned the murder,
and that a reward of £50 was offered for such information as would lead to
the arrest and conviction of the Mulherins. - The day after receiving this
letter she happened to meet Terence Mulherin in one of the streets of
Liverpool, and having engaged him for some time in conversation about her
people in Ireland, gave him in charge to a policeman. He was then, upon the
woman's information, transported to the Castlebar gaol, where he was
identified by one of the Killala policemen, and now remains in custody for
trial at the next assizes.

SHEEP STEALING
      On the night of the 1st inst., three strolling beggars entered an
out-house belonging to T. Kelly of Dooeaghny, about three miles from this
town in the county of Sligo, and carried away a sheep which they killed in a
waste house adjoining. The perpetrators of this outrage were two men and a
woman, named Lavelle, from Newport and Achill. They were arrested on the
following day (Tuesday) by Constable Phibbs and his party and brought before
Thomas Jones, Esq., J.P., by whom they were committed, and on the next day
sent to Sligo. The Quarter Sessions were then proceeding in that town, and
the parties being brought before the Barrister on the following Friday were
found guilty and sentenced - the two men to seven years transportation each,
and the woman to six months imprisonment and hard labour.
      At the same sessions Michl. Kelly, who stole a sheep from Anthony
Muldoon of Rathmel, near this town, was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment
with hard labour.

      DARING RESCUE - On Friday last, Patrick Glynn, Esq., Sub-Sheriff, with
six of the Westport constabulary, proceeded on official duty to Erriff,
where, after an obstinate and dangerous resistance, he seized some sheep,
and while proceeding with them to some particular destination, crowds of
persons assembled in every direction of the locality, and immediately
commenced to rescue. All remonstrances were disregarded and so determined
were the rescuers that they appeared as if careless of life. Mr. Glynn
perceiving this, felt impelled by humanity not to persevere, as, if the
constabulary were ordered to use their arms, the consequence would have been
a great sacrifice of human life. Great credit is due to this officer for his
steadiness and forbearance under so trying an occasion. The offending party
will, however, be brought to justice.
