      Mr. William Cabi-Enter,—I Have One Quest...

" He has , therefore , returned tohis old avocation , and raeihfal his former portraits of his " friends" in the following fashion . How he "touches" poor Watkins up , as a " poor anonymous TlilSG , decoured tela bileand SeatoK- 'B : " Toor Watkins ! lie was " all in all , " when ie was serving " J . 11 .

I to do for him a dirty job trhidi he has not the moral courage to do himself , he ought , and he must , and he shall he made responsible . There is one expression in Cavj'en ^ 'V s notice which did not a little amaze us . Of a verity , tiie man must have what B'israeli calls a most * « . aiAy «> iw «> afc ? oir «'' to venture upon such an exprefsion as the word " veer-reaching . " Where was his fear of Godand of his creditors , when he used that word ?—his fear of God for wickedly shifting its application from the rightful owner , himself , to another and an honest ] iarty ; aud his fiar of the triple list of his unfortunate creditors , who will never he able to persuade themselves that thcv were not thrice " over-reached" !

      and victimized when their henefiidor did whitewash himself at their expense , by thu grace of God and a certain act for thc relief of insolvent debtors . Verily thcensvmtery « fsome intn passetliall understanding . A man like this to throw ' potctty nml'flttrcaft ' on' in the teetli of another who might have been rich enough to buy hint from the gallows , had he prostituted his talents after his fashion , is one of the moral phenomena of the strange times wc live in . Heaven knows we make no pretension to thc world ' s favours . Wc know what it is to he poor and unable to pay one's debts . But whatever may be the fate of our creditors or our own , they shall never , at any rate , have to charge us with * o-Ki--j-i-ac /« iy'thcnj through the Insolvent Debtors ' Court . The Lass Societv ajsd the Leeds Mbbccet . — It

      affords ai sincere pleasure in being able to record the fact thai the Lct'ls Mercury Ins not joined with those portion ? of the press who have , " without rhyme or reason , * " condemned the land scheme of the Chartists . On thc contrary , the Jfcrciiry of the t ! 5 th ult . had thc following paragraph from thc pen of a correspondent , setting forth ihe nature of the scheme itself and the benefits likely to result from it : —• ' Our attention has been directed to meetings in several towns in Yorkshire to carry out thc plan of a society , under the above title , -sriiidi ias 2 » een jirepoanded to the | iaWJc lijr tltc GJjar-Sist Association of GrcatBritain , having for its object the purchasing of land on which to locate such of Us members as may Its selected for that purpose , iu order to demonstrate to thc working classes of the kingdom the value of the land as a means of subsistence , aud to

      make them in a measure independent of thc capitalist The plan prupuscd is this : to raise a certain sum of money , say £ 3 , 000 , in 2 , 000 shares of £ 210 s ., hy weekly instalments of 3 d ., Cd ., Is ., or upwards , which is to be applied to thc purchase of land . Good amble land may he rented ui some of the most fertile parts of the country at the Kite of 1 * fe- per acre , and may be bought at twenty-five years'purchase , that is at £ 18 15 s . per acre , and supposing £ 5 , 000 raised in shares of £ 210 s . each ; this sum would purchase 120 acres , and locate CO persons with two acres each , besides leaving a Balance of £ - " , 7-50 , which would give to each occupant £ 15 lfe . Sd . for thc purpose of building a comfortable and commodious cottage on each allotment , and the surplus , if any , towards stork , implements , & c . These aHotntc-tts might he leasedjbr car to flic members of

      the society , at an annual rental of £ 5 each , which would le tar IvloH-thereal value ; thc gross rental would thus amount tiXOUO . Ilm property , if sold at twenty years ' purchase , would yield to tiie funds of thc society £ C , 000 , which sum , if expended in a similar manner to the first , -would locate other seventy-two persons , and so on , continuing to increase in the same proportion until the tenth sale , which would realise £ 37 , 324 , and locate 372 i persons . Thus the total number that could be located in ten sales , should thc project he taken up with spirit , aiight he easily vifected in four years , would he l , d * person ? . , iu addition to leaving in the possession of the society an estate worth , in thc wholesale market , £ 57 , 324 , which estate could cither be re-sold or formed into a faud towards purchasing hack the estates previously disposed of , thereby rendering them freehold ,

      and serve the double purpose of ensuring a vote tor the c « un : vanJ also « f relieving the tenant from tho necessity of vnyius the jesfflj rent of £ 9 . Pirtrivt committees of this society have ocen formed at Leeds , HaduersntM , Bradford , Barnslcy , and many other places in Yorkshire and Lancashire , and a great ¦ number of working men in each of these t . jwns have already taken shares ; anil if the plan is properly carried -cut , tliera is no doubt it will be an iniprovemoiit on the allotment system , Inasmuch as it fr ill place the occupant of the land independent of the caprice -this landlord , and whatever improvement he makes ou his estate by Iiis industry and perseverance will be u-r his own benefit , aud not subject to any increase of rent for increased value of his laud , the fruits of his labour , besides biting an honourable and

      profitable occupation to hiuisch and family m times oi depression of trade , " J . W ., Bajisslet . —Wc presume thc legal order he speaks of is to attend the York assiies as a witness .

Halt , Babsslev . —His letter has been forwarded to Mr . Hobson , who is now in Yorkshire . The strong terms in it , applied to rich parlies who tare both the means and inclination to bring the libel law to bear when thc truth is told of them , make it matter of doubt whether it can be inserted . Mb . B . Boss asd Db . Corns . —The meeting spoken of in a communication from a "Working Man ' s Committee

      formed to enable Mr . Itoss to defend himself from the actlon-nt-law broaghi against him by l > r . Coffin , as contemplated in Leeis , has been holden : and after a lull investigation before a crowded assembly , which was addressed by Mr . Ross and the two employe * of Dr . Coffin , tho following resolution was all but unanimously passad , only seven hands out of the Bazaar full being held up against it : — " That the thanks of this meeting be given to llr . David Ross , for the honesty and intrepidity helms shown in bringing Dr . Cothn and his hireling detractors before thc public : and we deeply sympathise with him for the injustice he has met with at the hands of the said parties , and moreover pledge ourselves to support him by every means in our power , should Dr . Coffin be disposed to continue his

      proceedings , and carry the question before a legal tribunal . " Wigan Misebs . —Mr . Berrv ' s statement shall appear in our next . Mr .

I am represented as saying , when speaking of the laillowner at Baniber-Lridge , " that he had the advantage of receiving Ss . a-week from his sub-tenants for three or she months before they occupy , " which is not true ; and so far is this from being th » case , that when a family of new hands first comes to one of his houses , he , unlike many miilowners , is often willing to allow them to remain for two or three v ^ seks without taking any rent from them , thus giving them time to get fully settled to their

      employment . I should be very ill-grieved if any one could say that I had told a falsehood , especially reflecting on the character of any human being . Ksaiiesboeough Weavebs . —Wc once more request the attention of the Trades in general , and the Weavers throughout ' the kingdom hi particular , to the case of these men , now engaged iu a just struggle for thc means of subsistence . After all we have said on this subject , and tiie appeals whuli have appeared iu this paper from the turnouts —( one of these appeals will be found in this day ' s Star , in our " Trades Intel ! igeuce"J—it is not necessary we should say more than that , unless effective and immediate- aid is rendered to the KnaresiHM-ough men , they must succumb .

      Iu answer to numerous inquiries relative to the advantages of taking two or more shares , and the possibility of those obtaining four acres cf ground who deem two insufficient , 1 iffer the following explami & m : —A prison taking two shares will he eligible to obtain two allotments , hut as the decision will be by lot it is probable that one allotment might be in Lancashire and the other in Middlesex : thc onlv advantage would than be , that he could place a tenant on one of the allotments , but if he was anxious to obtain a four-acre farm , he must not take possession of his first prize , but must bs put on a reserved list until his second share had likewise secured a prize , when he could have a four-acre aUotmeut , and the additional £ 1518 s . 8 d . could cither be expended iu erecting a larger cottage aud outbuildings , or could be received in cash by the shareholder . The rent paid for h four-acre farm would be £ H » , or at the meeting of shareholders ( which will speedily take place ) it may be decided that persons kavingpaid up fur two shares shall be ( ou drawing a prize ) entitled to a four-acre farm siud thc additional cash : but it would not on any account be advisable to extend the size of the farm above four acres .

      S . B . —Sub-secretaries sending money must not on any account deduct for money-orders or other expenditure , but must send an account thereof to mo , when it shall be settled . All sub-secretaries are requested to immediately send to me thc namss of each shareholder in their district , and the total amount each has paid ; stating , also , the number of shares held by each person . Such returns must be made up to Monday , July 14 th , and forwarded to me in the same week , in order tfcat I may be possessed of accurate information to lay before die General Meeting ot Shareboldors .

      Svicidk At Sea Bt Captain* Fox Of The Sh...

      Svicidk at Sea bt Captain * Fox of the Ship Reliance . —At an early Lour on Wednesday morning a desperate act of suicide was committed by Captain Charles James Fox , aged about thirty-two years , of the ship Reliance , on " her voyage to London from Kuenos Avrcs . Shortly before cistht o'clock Captain Fox had baen conversing with Charles Brene , the steward of the ship , in his usual way , and subsequently descended into his state cabin . The ship was at ' this time beating up Sea Reach , several miles below Gravescnd . In less than a quarter of an hour afterwards the steward was alarmed by hearing the report of fire-arms which proceeded from the cabin . On descending with the chief mate he was horrorstruck at finding Captain Fox stretched on the floor

      of thc cabin quite dead . A large ship pistol was tightly grasped in his right liand , and upon examination it was found that he had placed the muzzle ot the pistol just above tho right hip , and had then discharged it . On the left side were two orifices cvidentlv made bv that number of balls , which , upon search being made , were found in thc adjoining cabin , having passed clear through his body and afterwards perforated the state cabin door , to rom documents found on board , it would appear that taptain Fox , whilst at Buenos Ayres , had suspected that another captain of a snip had been spreading some hichracter t Mr

      malicious reports respecting s a o a . Charles llorne , of Buenos Ayres , who acted in the capacity of thc ship's broker , aud that he had written to that effect to a Mr . Thompson , of "»\ apning , the owner . He was the bearer of a- letter to thc latter gentleman , from Mr . llorne , and oiten expressed a fear to the chief mate of his own ship ( tiie lveliance ) that he was thc conveyor oi'his own downfall . In his writing-desk was found a letter in his own handwritins ( not addressed" ) , in w ' l ' ch he stated as follows : — *• fiiave long suffered in health , so much so as to impair my reason at Times . In vain 1 have endeavow-cd to suppress it , but , alas ! . i n "" " ii iiid'easa *'*' . 1

      Svicidk At Sea Bt Captain* Fox Of The Sh...

      shall be but littlo more use in this world , and Jjo ^ p , therefore , the Almighty will forgive my sinful act . Take care of my few effects for the sake of my poor wife . I trust the Almighty will bless and protect her and all my family , and forgive me . The ship ' s papers you will find in the mid- He drawer . God bless you all . —Charles James Fox . " Although no perceptible alteration was observable in his conduct during the voyage home , it is imagined that the circumstances above alluded to had preyed upon his mind , and upon his near approach to hisown country had induced him to commit this rash act .

      Frightful Accident to a Youxo Lady . — On Wednesday afternoon , about three o ' clock , a serious accident occurred to Miss Alatilda Wilkinson , second daughter of Mr . J . Gvecn Wilkinson , of No . 38 . Wimpolc-strcct , Cavcndish-squarc . and niece of thc unfortunate lady Mrs . Round , wife of Mr . Round , M . l \ , who was lately burned to death at thc dreadful fire which occurred at llagget ' s Hotel , in Dover-street , Piccadilly . It appeal's that the young lady had just before thc accident mounted her horse for thcptirpose of taking an airing in thc Rcgent ' s-park , when thc

      animal became restive and reared up ; thinking no doubt to check him , fshe suddenly pulled thc reins , on which he again reared much higher than before , and losing his balance fell backward on the unfortunate lady , and rolled upon her for several yards , llcr groom promptly ran to her aid , and with the assistance of the butler and several persons who were passing at the moment , conveyed her into thc house . -Medical assistance was immediately procured , and on examination it was declared that she had received very severe internal injuries , although it is believed that no bones are fractured .

      Loss op the GLBXDowEn . —Wc regret to state that this fine ship , which , for several years , formed one of the fast packet licet trading between Liverpool and New York , was lost during the heavy gale of wind on Wednesday morning week , off a place called Morfa , on tlic coast of Carnarvon . At the commencement of the storm , thc ship was lying at anchor , oil Port Madoe , having a few days previously come round from Liverpool , and was advertised to take her departure for New York on the 10 th instant . During tlic first few hours , she bore against the furv of the

      gale admirably , but ultimately thc heavy sea from the main ocean drove the ship " from her anchors towards the sfliore . Her commander , Captain Parson , seeing her imminent . danger , ordered the masts to be cut away , which for a short time had the desired oflect , but the storm becoming more fierce , she was carried amongst breakers of the above place , where her destruction and that of her crew seemed inevitable . The casualty being observed by thc inhabitants of Port Madoc , hundreds crowded the sands oft wlierc tlic unfortunate sliip laid bumping among'it tho rocks . The life-boat from Studwell roads was

      immediately conveyed to the spot , and after several attempts gained the wreck , and saved every one belonging to the vessel , which appears a complete wreck . She was nearly COO tons burden , and her loss is about £ 7 , 000 . Supposed Death nr DrowxixO 0 i' The Matoii or Walsall . —Axotiieb Death by Dnowxixo . —At five o ' clock on Wednesday tuoriune ; , as two boys were going to work , they saw lying on a bank , near a pool , call the Lakes , sfituated on the Lichlield-roail , some clothes , but not seeing any one in or about the waif *' , they became alarmed , and ran to a man named Miuiatt , Vuoil ' i tli & y lhofc ; it the top of the lane going to his work / This man fetched three police constable ? , who on examining the clothes found

      them to belong fo John Hyatt Harvey , the Mavoi of the town ( Walsall ) , and on inquiry at that gentleman ' s house , it was aaecrialncd that he had been missing since nine o ' clock the proceulilg" evening . In ih ' . Harvey ' s hat was found his gloves" and gold watch , and in his pocket £ 21 in money , and a brick end ,- a towel was also found near to his clothes and everything would indicate tiiat he had plunged into the water to bathe , as he had often done before in tho same place . Thc watch had stopped at five minutes to four o ' clock . Mr . Rolf , superintendent of police , started off for Birmingham , to procure drags , and ou his return , a number of men were employed to find thc body of the unfortunate gentleman , but all their efforts were in vain . A boat was then procured , and Mr . Rolf , Mr . Thomas Staunton , Mr . James Oakley , a saddler , and Mr . ( i . Button entered it , and commenced dragging , when unhappily their endeavours were attended with the melancholy

      death of one oi the party . It appears that the drag becajue entangled with weeds , or was caiHit by a piece of rock . The whole of the partv immediately began to pull the drag , in order to extricate it , when unfoituuately it suddenly became disentangled , and the four men being at thc moment upon their utmost stretch , they fell back , the boat turned on its side , thc water rushed in , sad all fbtir were thrown into the water ; Mr . Kolfe , Mr . Staunton , and Mr . Dutton swam to shore , but pwr OaKicv was drowned , despite the efforts of a polies-constaOle to save him . It is really impossible to convey a notion of the "loom which this second tragical event caused throughout the borough ! . The draugina was for a . time discontinued , but was resumed " thisrnovning by Mr . Rolf and others , but up to this time ( Thursday , one o ' clock ) with no better success . Mr . Harvey was about thirty-fire years of age , , by profession an attorney , in partnership with Mr . Cottrili , and in extensive practice hi Walsall .

      Fatal Railway Accidekt . —Maxciiestf . p . , Monday . —On Saturday morning an accident occurred on the Manchester and Bolton Railway , by which one man was killed , and several others severely injured . It appears that ono line of tho rails have been taken up for repairs , and that tho engines at this particular plane have been driven to and from lloltonon thc same rails . This morning a luggage train left Manchester at an early hour , and at Ringley , where the rails are taken up , came into collision with a down train with fearful violence . The engineer , on perceiving the other train coming down , threw off his steam and jumped oft" the engine . Thc fireman , who was on the tender , also jumped off , but by some means missed his leap , and was thrown back under the train and was killed . In the afternoon an inquest was held on the body of tho deceased , when the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death . None of the others injured arc in a dangerous state .

      The Sanguinary Conflict At 13allinhassig...

      THE SANGUINARY CONFLICT AT 13 ALLINHASSIG . FUniHER PARTICULARS . { From the Cork Reporter . ) Balliniiassio , Tuesday , July 2 . —I have been for the last seven or eight hours witnessing scenes of such an agonising and heart-rending nature , that ] almost despair of being enabled to convey any idea ol their horror in the hasty notice I send you . The peace of this hitherto most tranquil village has been sadly disturbed , and in almost every second house about the neighbourhood are heard " the waitings ol widowed mothers and fatherless children , or the loud and disconsolate grief of friends and neighbours at the sufferings of their wounded relatives . " Amid the excitement and confusion which prevail all about , it

      is diflicult to collect accurate details of all the facts ; but I have made the most minute inquiries , and spoken to at least forty of thc persons who were at thc fatal spot , or in its immediate vicinity . lam , therefore , enabled to supply you with wluit I think may be generally taken as a correct outline of the melancholy transaction . There is an animal fair held in the village of Ballhihassig , on tbe 30 th of June , which is usually well attended by all the farmers and people in that district , and it is , 1 believe , customary to send a small police force to the fair in order to prevent riots , or thc disturbance of the peace . This precaution was taken yesterday ; but , unfortunately , in my judgment , not carried out with either the prudence , good

      temper , or moderation which thc judicious discharge of so onerous and responsible a duty demanded . About half-past seven o ' clock , when thc business of the fair had concluded , a number of persons remained neflt' the fair field , and about the little village . I have made special inquiries to ascertain whether many wore under the influence of drink , and I find that those that were se were comparatively few , the great majority being sober and very peaceable . A party of police , nineteen in number , under the command of Mr . Kelly , sub-inspector at Kinsalc , were stationed near the cross-road . At one side of this spot is a public-house , kept , I think , by a person named Callaghan , and at thc other side of the road , running parallel with it , is a low slated

      house which has latterly been used as a dispensary . Two persons in the crowd , from the neighbourhood of Adamstown , whose names 1 understand are Sulfivan and Nealo , began to quarrel , and others having interfered—whether as combatants or peace-makers I cannot ascertain—the police felt it their duty to arrest one of thc principals , Sullivan , and immediately on their doing so one or two mischievous persons called out in Irish , " Dou'tlct him with them . " Symptoms of a disposition to rescue Sullivan having thus become perceptible , thc police retired with their prisoner to the dispensary—the door of that edifice was not on the hinges , but it waylaid to .. Here some atone throwing occurred . To what extent thc rioting was carried on in front , at this moment , 1 cannot say , but some shots having been fired , a number of thc country

      people got into a garden behind tiie dispensary , and were throwing stones on the roof , until thcv had smashed it in two or three places . The police , in the mean time , had been again ordered to load , and very soon after they had got into the dispensary , they fired from the window and door , with deadly effect-There was no magistrate present ; no Riot Act read ; no warning , as I am positively informed , to the people to desist ; no attempt made to disperse them by a bayonet charge , or a volley of Wank cartridge . At the first lire ^ . -vcivi ! fell , and tins [ wlice then came out ; some of them fired again , and ngain returned , and the whole party once . agniu rushed ' out , and the people having by this time run in all directions , they turned up by the bridge in thc direction of their ' «'' - racks , When they went i ' roui ihc dispensary a small

      The Sanguinary Conflict At 13allinhassig...

      body of people followed them , and though no attack was , as lean learn , then attempted , one or two of the police turned round , and asaus fired with thc same aim and effect that signalised their previous proceedings . I shall now come to the sad spectacle which presented itself on my arrival at the village . Having received intimation in Cork about twelve o ' clock at night of what had occurred , I proceeded to the locality , in company with Dr . M'Evers , whose valuable services were put in requisition for the relief of the unhappy sufferers . The first house wc entered , a wretched hovel near the bridge , presented a sight that it would require tho gifted pencil of M'Clise to depict , or thc pen of Carlcton to embody in the ui auiuu ui inmiu ui .

      p ages mo moan miming <>> . » Irish snfferiiic ; . , On a heap of potatoes in the corner , resting on the lap of an aged woman , | whose anguish seemed too deep aud intense for utterance , lay thc body of a line athletic man , his clothes open , and his chest covered with blood ; three or four women were collected about , a group of men surrounded him , and only a hollow moan from the women occasionally broke the silence of the house of mourning . With some difficulty I made way for the doctor , and when he held the candle to his ghastly features a nd looked for a moment on the last convulsive agony , lie saw that his end was coino . Ill loss than a minute he had ceased to exist , and his announcement of the melancholy truth seemed the signal for a buret of that anguish only thc Irish peasant can express , when involved in ' such absorbins

      sorrow . J . he name of the deceased was Jwemiah Coglan ; he lived at Skehanagh , was a small farmer , and had left , besides his aged mother , a wife and one child to bewail his sad and untimely fate . The bullet entered at his back , and passing through thc Imiss came out at the left side . Wc then hastened to tltc nearest place where it was intimated that one of the sutt ' ei-ers lay , and in a little house in the village , stretched on the earthen floor , wc found a fine young man named John Walsh , from Carrigalinc , aged 21 . His right leg was literally shivered to bits : it had been hastily dressed , but on opening thc bandage several large splinters of bone came away . It was dressed again , as well as time and circumstances would permit , and the poor sufferer expressed his gratitude over and over for the relief ho was afforded . The doctor at once recommended that he should be

      removed into Cork to thc infirmary , where amputation of tlic limb should take place , as the only chance of saving his life , lie was unmarried , but 1 was informed had a young family of brothers and sisters , who were mainly dependent on his labours . From this we proceeded with all expedition to Adamstown , where some of the most dangerous eases had been removed to their own houses . At the house of Maurice Corkran , whom wc found lj- ' irg on a bed , almost in the agonies of death , his wife and four young children were screaniins at thc bed-side , and a crowd of neighbours blocked " up the single apartment of his wretched and cheerless habitation . On

      examining him , the doctor was ot opinion that Ins case was quite hopeless . The bullet had entered between thc eighth and ninth ribs , and as well as could be ascertained , passing through the abdominal viscera , came , out at the other side . He was throwing up blood in vast quantities , and was fast sinking . The doctor having done all that he thought advisable for the pw snifcrcr , we proceeded about half ;> * j ; ] e funuSr 6 n , \ v"here ' wO •*«« infomnl aiipffie * vhjpini Ja On entering the house of John Desmond , at Adams town , wo found him lying in bed , with two gunshot wounds . In one place the bullet entered at the hipbone , and came out behind , thc flesh there bei'i' * greatly lacerated . The other wound presented far more dangerous symptoms ; the ball had entered at

      thc back near thc spine , and was lodged in the abdomen . After a minute examination the doctor reso'ived on extracting it , and did so from the front in the niostcxpeditiousand scientific manner . While engaged in . the operation the poor man manifested the greatest courage ; ho bore it with patience , such as 1 never before saw equalled , and it has been my lot to have been present on several such like occasions . I have the ball in my possession ; it is slightly flattened at one side , by , I presume , concussion ' witii the rib . Such sedatives as were deemed proper were then administered—i ' omentatioas , poultices , & c , to keep down inflammation ,- and- unless internal hemor . rhago should supervene , it is possible he may recover . The odds , however , arc fearfully against him . He wasa remarkably athletic man , * and had only been married last Easter .

      < lief . tuiung ii-oin this poor man ' s house we met a line stout young man named Richard Barrett , of Ballinpholick , thc son , I understand , of a very comfortable farmer , and a very respectable man . A bullet had- enteral the back of his left hand between thc first and seesmd metacarpal bones , and lodged in the ball of the tlwimb . The hand was so-dveadfullv sVd-Jen and inflaiaed that nothing could bi then done for him , aud he was recommended to con » -uito the infirmary .. ' , . ' ,:

      The next how ? e wc arrived at was thbSof Jeremiah Conway , of Liskiiea . This- man received ' tkc bullet in such . » very - " ani-eroHS and critical spot / fEit very slight hopes indeed ! are entertained of hiirrecovcrv . It eutcscd through ' the centre » f the ri « ht iiladebone , and marde its exit i'irough the armpit , " woamiing the important vessels in . that neighbourhood , ar-d / causing an immense effusion 9-f blood , which left the-patient in a most exhausted ! and sinkina ; state . Ilis ' wouml was most carefully dressed , and his friends wre-advised to bring him toSieinfirmarv withoutdekv ..

      Within a .-few doors of this man's-house lav .-aicthci-SUifGrCl '— . 1 man of fin * athletic fraaie , and evidently possessing great muscular power . His naino was John Walsh ,, of Llerour , and his case was perhaps-thc most remarkable of the- entire . Tils bullet entered on the right side , and over-the cartilage of thc second rib , it then traversed acres * the elicsS , and made its exit near the axilla , or arnspit , lacerating the flesh dreadfully , but without , ii s hoped , fracturing the chest bono . Such remedies as were most proper were speedily administered , and the case promises a favourable result . Crossing a large tract of country wc next eamc to a house where , indeed , a most afflicting spectacle awaited us . The woman of tho house , Johannah Holland , aged 23 , and lately married , was shot dead near tho bridge in the village , after the police had left the dispensary . Her mangled corpse was lying

      on a table facing the door , and a vast crowd , principally women , thronged the house , which , from its general appearance , I should sny belonged to a comfortable farmer . On examination , it was found that thc ball entered at the back , and passing between the shoulders through the lungs , caused instantaneous death . The deceased was a very respectable , quiet woman , and was by mere accident passing through the village on her way home , at the moment of the untoward event , which brought her to a premature grave . When no service could be rendered her , r / o hastened buck to the village , and found there a poor old man , named Michael Donnelly , whose ri ght nviu had been perforated by a bullet , and who was greatly exhausted from lossof blood . With the aicfof the probe , it was ascertained that the bone had not been broken , the ball having passed through the fleshy part of tho arm , and it is hoped that no ulterior danucr will result , with care and judicious

      treatment . Thc bodies of thc other victims now had been removed to a distance near Five Mile-bridge by their friends , and 1 cannot await seeing them " to forward this in time for post . A powerful young man named Cornelius Fordo , who resided at Balliuavohce , is shot dead through thc chest , and a man named Charles M'Carthy , who resided at Ballyhecda , and has left a wife and four young children , is also shot dead , and has been carried to a distance from the spot by his friends .

      A man named Dcasy is also stated to bo so dangerously wounded as that his death is hourly expected . There is a policeman named Dawson rather severely hurt . He has threc cuts on his head from stones , and his lip is split : but nothing more serious than those cuts and bruises , lie was sheltered at a gentleman ' s house in the neighbourhood , which was the means ' of saving his life from thc infuriated people .

      There is ono matter more to which , before I close , I must call your special attention . I examined carefully the dispensary in which the police took refuge , and now observe its position . There is a window and door in front facing thc cross road ; there is no window or aperture to thc rear . Thc stones which knocked iu the roof were all thrown from the rear , and yet thc firing necessarily was directed against thc people in front , who could not have been the parties to that attack on thc building . I have not time to add more .

      1 here arc over a hundred and tweniv police under arms m the barracks on the llandon-road , under the command of Mr . Walker , sub-inspector of Cork . A messenger has been despatched for the coroner , and 1 shall send you a report of the proceedings oa the inquest with all despatch . Dallixhassig , July 2 , Two o'Clock . —The utmost excitement prevails for several miles around . The people , and they are proverbial for cxomplavv conduct , arc sullen . They arc most respectful to all parties seeking information ; they ask for an impartial investigation—a request that there seems everv prospect of having conceded to them . The magistrates John

      —Mr . Molony , Mr . William Meade , and Mr . T . J . Biggs—the coroner , Mr . Franklin "Baldwin—tho parish priest , thc llcv . John Ilallinanand a considerable number of the surrounding gentry and respectable farmers , after a consultation have agreed , and it has been resolved upon , that thc inquest shall not'commence its sittings until nine o clock on Thursday morning , several circumstances concurring to render that course tho most prudent . In the meantime , counsel and agents are to be engaged the friends and relatives of the ill fated deceased am ! wounded—of thu former six , of the latter ascertained , 2 . 5 ; some , it is feared , mortally—bavin ;; taken measures to insure justice .

      The Sanguinary Conflict At 13allinhassig...

      -ASOTHKB YERSIOX Of THE OOSTLICT . In strict justice to the police , win * are stated to have submitted to the very utmost provocation before resorting to the last dreadful alternative for the protection of their own lives , it is but fair to giro the Constitution ' s version of the transaction , which is widely different indeed from that furnished by thc Repeal journals : — "The party at the fair consisted of three constables , two acting constables , and thirteen sub-constables , who had been marched in from different stations , and who were under thc command of Mr . J . Kelly , first class sub-inspector of Kinsalc , who has been but two months in thc district . Thc business of the fair proceeded as usual up to four o ' clock , when

      symptoms of hostile sisnifeniu-e began to bo exhibited amongst the country people . * * * * The leader of one faction , a man named Sullivan , who is better known by the cognomen of' Ranter , ' threw up his hat in the green , and , whirling his stick , gave tlic faction whoop , when his friends and adherents inline iiatcly gathered about him tiiniultiiously . The police , however , interfered , and the men of the opposite party , the 'Ncills , ' retired from the green . Ranter and his party then left the green , and took a different road from the Neills . In a few minutes thc latter returned to the green to the number of about two hundred , and a large body of people mounted the ditches around thc cross in expectation of a fray . In a moment after Ranter appeared on horseback , and

      rode furiously down the lull , followed by above three hundred men . When he got to tho middle of the cross he pulled up , and , addressing his own party in Irish , broke a new hat which he wore , upon his horse ' s head . This was the signal for attack ; a yell followed from those on thc cross , which was answered by another from their opponents on thc green , llearing this yell of defiance , Ranter leaped from his horse , and rushed at the entrance to the green , which was a narrow gap . There he was met by thc leader of the Ifcills , a man named Walsh . He grappled him , and when dragging him into thc green , Constables Vigott and llannan dashed through the mob , and laid hold of Ranter , who had his coat off at the time . He struggled for his release , and called upon

      his faction to rescue him , but thc other policemen having come up at thc moment , he was lodged in the dispensary . The crowd then surrounded . the house , yelling in a hideous manner , and demanding the release of Sullivan , which was of course refused by Mr . Kelly , who told them that it was his duty to convey him before a magistrate . He implored the people to be quiet . There was then a cry of buoileidh , which means ' Strike them . ' Tho attack commenced , and stones were thrown . The police then got the order to fix bayonets . They did so , but stones fell upon them so last that thcv were forced to retreat into the house . When inside , Ranter told them that if they did not release him , every one of them would be killed . To this Mr . Kelly replied , that he must do

      his duty , and that was to keep his prisoner . Thc windows were now dashed in , and thc order was given to prime and load . This was quickly obeyed , but while the police were in thc act of doing so an attempt was made to force thc door , with a cry of ' Drag them out . ' Thc police attempted to keep the door closed , but it was fovml , and one fellow—a very able man—caught the top of it , and tried to drag it into the road , so as to expose the inmates to thc fury of the mob ,- but one of the constables drove his bavonet into the desperado ' s breast , and he fell back , '" ' - ••• e others of the crowd then seized the door and in ... : u to thc road . The doorway was now dcdrattgeiUti :... . ' "" innan and *»« ¦ ¦ . »¦» feuded J )) ' Constables PJjBott mra *~ - D Constable Dawson , while the iiumijoi of " stohOS throWn

      increased every moment . A cry was- raised aWJiigst thc mob , and they were exhorted to tear doW ' n the house and kill the police . A body of the people then rushed to the back of the house , and with tent sticks began to strip off thc roof . The nolko now , perceiving that their lives were in imminent danger , called upon Mr . Kelly to permit them to defend themselves ; but he answered by saying ' No firing / and came to the door to implore tho people to desist , but before he had uttered many words h ' c received a blow of a large stone on tho right side of his face , which drove him back . The roof was now opened , and large stones were thrown into the house , and the police again called upon Mr , Kelly to give them the order to fire , and he then said , 'Fire , but lira steadily . '

      Instantly a fellow rushed at thc door , and threw a large stick at Constable Pigett , which struck him on thc head j but the stick had no sooner left his hand than he was shot from the window on the right ; and , reeling for a short distance , he fell . The mob now became move violent , and dashed forward , yelling hideously , and as they closed in at cither side tlic ringleaders were shot . The-police saw that retreat was their only safety , thc stones fell so quickly upon them through the ap = vtarc in thc roof ,- and even Ranter's courage left iiim , for he ran to the windows -uid implored of Ilk iii'ie 75 'b' not to murder them , and , while doing so ,- received several wounds- from thc stones . Thc police then determined on retrcat-! nsr , and actinsr constable Dav / abn led : but no sooner

      had he left thc threshold than he received the lilow of a > stone on the nrautli , which split his uppor . ind lowcylips , and knocked' out tir-s- of his front teeth , Uefclljand his carbiiw was- wrsited from him by ' a fellow , who struck Dawson with ' A on thc head while he Jay ; but this fellow paid'dentfy for his barbarity for a sliot from the window at the same moment stretched' liim alongside a & vietira ; . . Dawson again got up , s- 'ldi being scpnratcM ^ ni'hi & comradcs by the crowd which- surrounded him ,-and which had " prevented then * from leaving tlic house , sfcigaercd alon ^ the road in tlic direction of Mr . Kolln ' siioiiso . Ho was overtakoii ,. and beaten into tlis * ditch . Dr . Stewart . J . Tresilian at that moment' oamc up and cried out , '' Run ,, run , here come the Dragoons , ' which caused the Mows to fly from tlicir victim .

      Dawson then got up , and staggsred to the house of a Mrs . Oakes , but ; her son drove him oil ' , and he reeled ' I to thc house ot" a man named Sarratt , but * the door I was shut acainai'him . He stooiMherc foramioiccnt , ibut , seeing his assailants returning ,, he got to the iother side of the : < oad , and went into-the nuuse- of a [ man named Lacy- Laey closed thc door , aail-pushtd Dawson into a pigsty ,, at- thc other end of tho liouw , and' concealed the aperture . The mot ; comitig- to- Cls door > demanded to Save it opened , " jnt'therc oeihg a moment ' s delay they drove it in , nud- searched fo ? Dawson . During the search Dawson ; contrived i * - force himself through a small hole from ths-pigsty into ilr . Keller ' s meadow , and erawJcd ^ ln'ouglfth ' e hk & grass up to the house , where lie - * ras secreted ; bv

      Mr . Keller ' s man in- a loft . The nnb / . findi ' ug-ihat Dawson had escaped ,, wreaked their vengeance-upon Lacy , by In-caking his- 'ivindows and docsr , and beating a woman with stones until they left her- apparently lifeless . But to return-to the scene at thc dispensary . At the moment Dawson was separated ffom-hispisriy , Constables Pigott and Mannan followed : to try- to protect him , but were obliged to retrace their steps-, and immediately after the sntire body were compelled to leave the house , it wa » so dilapidated .,, and nth-nos were poured into it with such murderous- dctormimt' - tion . The police then left the house , and ,, forming in a body , charged up the hill , in the hopc-of gaining the police station , which was about a mile-off . In thc confusion attending this movement , tlieirprisoner

      ( Sullivan ) escaped . In the course of tlseitvretreat they were met at all points by dense masse-j-of people , yelling and throwing stones , but were fortunate enough to gain tho top of the hill alive , though very much bruised . Having got into thc station-house , they made preparations to defend themselvss-against any renewed attack , and were shortly after joined hy the magistrates . Mr . Meade , fearing an assault upon thc station-house , sent off a special messenger to Cork for a reinforcement . Within two hums frsm thc time thc messenger was despatched , feety police had arrived from the city , in jingles , under the care of Sub-Inspectors Walker and Green , and head eonstables Condon and Moylan , accompanied bv Dr . Harris , physician to the constabulary .

      IXQUKST OX THE BOD 1 KS OP THE nKAIJ . B . u . i . ixiussHi , Jui . y-1 . —The court sat this day at ten o ' clock . The magistrates present were—Colonel Burke , J . P ., Captain Atkins , J .

P ., and II . Knarcsborough , K . M . Mr . Moloney , J . P ., addressed the bench and said , as thc magistrates were implicated in the transaction , owing to certain publications that had appeared , he should request that the court examine him , in order that all impressions might be removed . The Coroner said he would , of course , examine him . Doctors Wall , Trcsilian , and M'Evers , were then sworn , and the evidence was about being proceeded with , when

      Mr . Walsh said , that before going into evidence it might be well if ho stated thc main facts of the case , lie thought it unnecessary before so intelligent a jury as the present , with so experienced a coroner , to go into tho full details of the ease . _ After some discussion as to his right , Mr . Walsh addressed thc jury . It was not his intention to go into a minute history of thc painful occurrence from the commencement to thc fatal termination , or to occupy the time of the court and tie jury with tho details of the vase as they separately arose . It was clear that the deaths of all , Recording to his instructions , arose from gun-shot wounds ^ which had been inflicted by a body of the constabulary

      and he then asked thc gentlemen on thc othtr side , and thc officer of constabulary present ( Mr . inspector Percy ) , whether he was to be furnished with the names and number of the police on duty that night , and he ( Mr . Scanncll ) appeared lor the constabulary ? Mr . Scanncll replied that he could not adopt a course so singular . If thc police were impeached or included in thc inculpation , they wci'o ready to meet the charge ; and according to his instructions they would bo able to show that what nad been done was inevitable and indispensable . They would proceed in the ordinary way , aud would produce For identification f he constabulary , if required , but they should decline pointing out single individuals .

      Mr . Walsh . —Mr . . Vitzsimons , are you with iv . ' r . Scanncll ? Mr . l- 'itzsimons .- —I am not ; I am for a dircmit body of persons ^ ' 'together ,

      After a few remarks from Mr . Walsh , who con currcd in such a line of proceeding , Mr . Inspector Percy said he was there to do his duty , and he was prepared to do everything in a fair and impartial manner , as everything , in his opinion , should be done fully and satisfactorily , lie therefore begged to hand in to the coroner a list of the names of the constabulary under arms on the occasion . They were as follows - . —John Dunn , .

Daniel Willis , James Donaldson , KendulY ; Denis Dawson , lialliiihass ' uj ; Richard llickson , Kinsale .

      Dr . MMivcrs , examined by Mr . Walsh . —I am a medical d'ictor and surgeon , and have been connected , for a length of time with the South Infirmary . I examined the bodies of the several persons wlni deaths arc to be inquired into . The names are Julia Callaghan , John Desmond , Maurice Corkorau , Clms . M'Carthy , Jeremiah Coughlun , Curly Ford , Timothy Kerrucanc . Saw Julia Callaghan , Maurice Corkorau and Dcsmoi'd on Tuesday morning , about three o ' clock . I came from Cork to sec the wounded [ icople . I saw a man named Coughlan in a small house in thc village . I saw Julia Callaghan on Tuesday morning dead , at her house , and examined her body , iler death was caused by a gun-shot- wound received through her bodv . The ball entered ylose to thc

      spinal canal near the backbone through thc lelt side and through the chest , obliquely escaping in front immediately under the collar-bone at the right side . That wound occasioned her death . She appeared to be a few hours dead when 1 saw her . She appeared to be twenty-six years old . I saw John Desmond on that morning alive in his own house , in bed . Wasa !; Ocsniflml ' s house yesterday . When I saw Desmond he was wounded in two parts . Saw him yesterday , and can say that his death was caused by one of tho wounds . He found he laboured under two gun-shot wounds . The first bail appeared to have entered his right loin , in thc neighbourhood of tho kidney .
