BALLINA CHRONICLE Wednesday, Oct 3, On Monday morning last, between nine and ten o'clock as Mr. John Beary, of Derk Cottage, in this county, was walking his grounds, two shots were fired at him from behind a fence, one of which grazed his neck, and the other perforated his hat, providentially doing no other injury.

The cowardly assassins had spotted their intended victim with a few yards, and immediately fled from the cover, but were distinctly seen. One of them escaped out of sight. Constable Grace and a party of the Oulah station were in quick pursuit, and arrested the other miscreant near Cullen, whom they found to be the son of a respectable farmer named Thomas O'Brien, of Latten.

They next proceeded to the old man's house, in search of his other son, who was not at home, but in a few moments he walked in, not supposing the police were before him, and they promptly secured him also, with a double barrelled gun in his hand, newly discharged. Beary has identified both prisoners. ANOTHER MURDER IN CLARE. Not being prepared to remove the corn at the time, Michael Cleary, assisted by his son, Simon, determined to watch it until the following day.

About eleven o'clock at night, they were surrounded by a party of about fourteen men, who beat them so unmercifully with stones that the old man, Michl. Cleary, who had attained the extreme age of seventy-two years, only survived three days, his sufferings having terminated on Friday last. A house, on the property of Lord Portarlington, near Borrisoleigh, from which a person of the name of Burke had been ejected, and which was taken by another person, was burned on Wednesday night.

On Monday morning, near Bansha, four fellows with their faces blackened fired at Mr. Fortunately he escaped without injury and the villains have been apprehended. On the night of Saturday last several of Major Ball's tenants, on the lands of Fortfergus, decamped, taking with them every thing which they could convey into money. The worst feature of the flitting is, that these were independent farmers, some of whom had money lent at interest.

Captain Sutton, 47th, commanded a guard of honour at Mallow to receive the Lord Lieutenant on his return from Killarney. Lieutenant Ruxton, 7th Fusiliers and Ensign Turner, 69th, sold out of the service on Tuesday. Lieutenant Manders, 2d West, is appointed Paymaster of the Carbineers.

We are happy to have to state that, through the blessing of God, there has been no case of Cholera in this locality since last Saturday, and the medical officers have decided upon closing the hospital on Saturday next.

We cannot close this subject without expressing our approbation of the kind and unremitting attention of the medical gentlemen whose services were engaged during the existence of the epidemic. So far as human skill could avail in staying the disease it was carefully employed and attended with a success not excelled in any other place.

Monday being the day fixed for the nomination of candidates for the office of Coroner for this district, the Sub-sheriff, William Kearney, Esq.

The preliminaries being gone through, Thomas Palmer, jun. Peter Nolan, of Moyne, was then proposed by the Rev.

At Queenstown, Mary Jane, daughter of Thomas B. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday night, it was discovered that the Boherbuoy auxiliary workhouse was on fire.

The alarm having been given by St. Michael's Parish watch, a number of persons soon congregated in the vicinity of the burning premises, and the fire engines of the West of England, St.

Michael's Parish, 74th Regt. The fire originated in the straw-house, under the infirmary, and the thick volumes of smoke which issued, nearly suffocated the inmates, who, to the number of eleven hundred, all escaped, having been promptly aroused from sleep in their dormitories, and removed to the open yards. Doyle, Colonel Cox, Lieut.

Fordyce, with fatigue parties of the 74th, 3d. Buffs, and Royal Horse Artillery, rendered essential service. In order to prevent the fire from extending to the front premises, a quantity of shedding was pulled down, and at four o'clock the flames were subdued. At the recent fair of Abbeyfaile, a man by the name of Roche was struck with a stone by a man named M'Auliffe, which killed him immediately. By the return, up to the 31st August, by the Chief Agent of Emigration, 10, had arrived in Quebec more in than in ; the numbers being 34, against 23, Quin, the milk contractor.

It is said that such is the bankrupt state of the union that a compromise cannot be effected. The "hammer," therefore is the alternative. Constable Magolrik, for some time stationed at Belmullet, has succeeded in arresting a notorious character named Keane, who stands charged with having committed a felonious assault on a little girl eleven or twelve years old. MAYO PRISON- There are prisoners at present confined in this establishment. SLIGO UNION- Number of persons relieved in the workhouse, ; number receiving outdoor relief, Tom Hickey being sworn stated as follows: I thin made parley, and bid them beware how they offended a Queen's man, Never fear said them all, we have too much respect for her name to do you any harm.

Well, two of the gang wint into the house, where Paudheen Ryan was snug in bed, and if he was, hey made him get up and driss himself, and then brought him out and handcuffed him to myself, like the polls. So we were kept there for four long hours, with the plovers and philibeens flying about us, until all the corn was gone, and that's the whole of the matter from the peginning to the end.

Court- Do you know any of the persons? Tom- Divil a mother's son iv em baring Paudeen, wid whom I was in a state of conflagration. Paddy- Is it me, your honours? Ax Tommy Hickey there. I call on him to witness how the villins treated me; on' sure he is an honest man, an a Queen's man moreover. Long life to her blessed Majesty and the young Earl of Dublin- laughter Eh, Tom avic, ain't it thrue? Court- Did you know any of those villains, as you call them? Twas thinking of something ilse, not knowing that every minit would be my last-dhrowned perhaps in a boghole, and a big stone tied round my neck, an my poor children left fatherless on the wide world.

What a wonderful escape you had Mr. Paddy - Why thin, you would say so, your honour, if you only knew the half iv it. Its no joke, and Tommy knows it. These shifts won't do to evade paying your poor rates. Paddy- Forty years' look and a half to your honours.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Wednesday, Oct 10, ELECTION OF CORONER- At the close of the poll on Thursday, Mr. Peter Nolan was declared duly elected Coroner for the district by a majority of eight votes, the number of votes for each candidate being: POOR LAWS- The ex-officio Guardians are now acting in the new unions formerly included in this.

Colonel Gore has been elected chairman of the Dromore West board, and Robert Kirkwood, Esq. Brett has been selected by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to succeed Henry Owen, Esq. On Saturday morning last, from information received from Sub-Constable Duncan, he proceeded to the quay and entered an old boat on the river, and after some short search he found rolled up in an old fore sheet four pike handles, which he took away.

The boat is the property of the Messrs. Pim and had been lying by for some time. Duncan had the Messrs. Pim's permission to make the aforesaid search. Walter Linn, an Irishman, was murdered at Reston, Berwickshire, last week. M'Quea, his countryman, has been arrested on suspicion. Colonel Chatterton, late 4th or Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, has declared himself a candidate for the City Cork representation. The potato crop in the west of County Clare is abundant, though not entirely free from disease.

The potato blight has manifested itself on the crops in Canada. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has thought proper, in compliance with the clamours of the Radical press in London, and of the "Loyal" Repealers in Ireland, to remove the name of the Earl of Roden from the Commission of the Peace for the counties of Down and Louth, and to deprive Messrs.

Francis and William Beers of the like office in the former county.

In Castlebar, on the 7th inst. Solicitor at the early age of 36 years. I will now deliver a veritable 'treating bill,' furnished at an Irish election, not a great number of years ago, to an Irish baronet since dead; a gentleman whose most respectable and excellent successor is now in the house, a living witness, if necessary, of the authenticity of this valuable document: But we have not by any means got to the end of this account: The quantity of sheep which usually poured in from Roscommon and Mayo is greatly limited this year-in fact, with the exception of Mr.

Robert Fair's lots, not came from Mayo. This may be a sign of the times. The demand to-day Thursday was not for the heaviest description of wedders and this may be a token that some of the long headed men intend to lean quietly on their oars for a while, as the turnip crop and the meadows, perhaps never before returned a larger produce.

They have not measured the fat, but they are dependant on their own skill for the ensuing markets. This is a new one in market statistics. There are a great many dropped heads who calculated on this fair to right their bank account; but many of them have already found that "navigation" will not always be a sure chart-amongst land lubbers especially. The bill trade is gone, those who heretofore on a name claimed the bank's countenance, may now turn the "other cheek," but if the hard metal is not present will get slapped.

Nothing will now do but the ready down, and this in itself may give a turn to business-a healthy one, no doubt, but the beetle when money gives the colour, should not be discarded. The chief demand was for breeding ewes, which are now sought to supply the garden plots, and homesteads where they were of the evicted.

The average figures for ewes was, 32s. Persse, of Moyode Castle, sold a lot of barren ewes, at 34s. His top lot of wedders were sold to Mr.

Alexander Graydon, at 50s. His second lot, to the same gentleman, was 46s. The demand for wedders was very trifling. Taffe top lot wedders 47s. Walter M'Donough's wedders 38s. John Ryan, Kilnahonn, for a lot of ewes got 40s. M'Donough top lot, two-year-old wethers, 32s. To-morrow does not promise to be better, and you will find that, unless in a very particular lot, the prices will not be higher.

The late fairs of Moate and Trim were both slack, but people always expect wonders to turn up at Ballinasloe. The return has not yet come; but the sheep are so late in coming out-another bad sign- that I fear we will not get the return this evening. I have kept this letter open till the latest moment. THE STREETS OF BALLINA.

On this subject the editor of the Sligo Guardianbeing an eye witness, could not, as on other subjects connected with this locality over which he stumbled, have made any mistake. The streets of this town are in a very filthy state at present we must confess, and we have frequently taken much trouble to have them cleansed, but, generally speaking, to no purpose. If we refer it to the guardians of the union as their duty we are met with the reply that they have no power to employ any of the able-bodied paupers at this work.

If we blame the magistrates we obtain no encouragement there; and if we appeal to the respectable inhabitants they get outrageous and say they should have even that trifling benefit out of the immense sums of money paid for the support in idleness of the able-bodied poor. So that on all hands our efforts are paralized. Altogether it is a disgrace that such a state of things should be permitted even for a day, and the poor law officials, Guardians or Commissioners-Magistrates, and inhabitants, are all to blame.

Memorandum- The names of Ensign in the 38th Foot March 23, are Frederick Beswick and not Frederick Bailey as previously stated. The Christian names of Ensign Lance, of the 98th Foot are William Henry Joseph. The murdered in the present instance was husband, the murderess, wife. She has not only been presumed guilty by a coroner's jury, but has fully confessed to her participation in the terrible tragedy.

In order to give the foul transaction in the smallest space, I condense the evidence. Catherine Thompson, an interesting peasant girl was wedded sometime ago to a person in her own class of life, named Patrick Moore.

The marriage was not a happy one; the wife's prettiness had won her many admirers; and the result was, that a casual separation took place; the husband went to live with a relative of his, named Brennan, while the wife remained with her mother, at Tulla, in the Ballickmoyler district.

Moore left for America, but on reaching Liverpool, he could not divest himself sufficiently of his feelings for home to prosecute his voyage; so he returned. He came punctual to the assignation.

Between ten and eleven o'clock on that night he was seen by two men leaning against a ditch, at the back of his mother-in-law's house in company with his wife.

After this night he was not seen or heard of in the neighborhood; he did not return to Brennan's; but a rumour was set afloat that he had left for America; and the following Sunday Mrs. Moore left Tulla for the ostensible purpose of joining him in Liverpool, in order that they might proceed together to New York. After she left, vague reports were circulated through the village, the people surmised strange things, and asked why the wife did not accompany her husband.

These indications of the feelings of the neighborhood having reached H. Moore, who resides at Dundalk. It purported that the writer had seen his sister and her husband off from Dublin on their way to America; that they were in good health and seemed perfectly reconciled to each other. This removed any lingering suspicion which remained on the mind of the intelligent sub-inspector.

Thus matters remained until word was brought him, on Wednesday evening, that the body of a man, or something like it, was seen in a hole in the centre of the lonely bog of Rossmore, and the dogs had been devouring portions of it.

He forthwith proceeded to the place pointed out, on Wednesday night; and in the middle of the lonely and wild bog of Rossmore, he perceived, by the glimpse of the moon, a mangled arm protruding from the depths of the bog-side.

Nursing - Wikipedia

A stick was procured, the body was stirred, when a most revolting spectacle presented itself. A human head started out of the water; the nose and one of the cheeks had been cut off, the eyes were gone, and the face was otherwise fearfully mutilated. On examination the limbs were found to be very much mangled, and the body in a state of putrescence and decomposition. To remove these hedious remains of mortality was a matter impracticable at that hour of the night with the assistance Mr.

Warburton had; so he left his companion to keep watch while he drove off to Tulla, which was seven miles distant, it having struck him that the mutilated body in the bog must have been that of the missing Patrick Moore. When he reached Moore's mother-in-law's house, he made fresh inquiry as to where Mrs. He then secured the attendance of a person who knew Patk. Moore, and could identify the body, if it was his. On returning to Rossmore bog with this man and a reinforcement of police, they raised the body out of the hole; while doing so, it fell into piece meal, and the loathsome members had to be placed in bags.

The remains were immediately identified. On being removed towards Tulla, it was met by a procession of colliers, who placed the fragments of the body in a coffin, and bore it onward with marks of deep sorrow for their murdered comrade.

I omitted to mention that in the morning, a sub-inspector had placed the mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law of the deceased man under arrest. A jury having been collected, the body was viewed by them, and after a minute examination by Dr Samuel Edge, it was consigned to mother earth. The assistance of the coroner, Thomas Budds, Esq. The jury having been sworn, held the inquest at Grave's public-house.

Several witnesses were examined, and from them were elicited the facts just stated. The most remarkable part of this dark tragedy remains to be told.

Despite the claims, nurses are not badly paid - The Irish News

Never was the mysterious ways of Providence made more manifest in bring retribution home to the heartless murderer in this case. On the morning of the inquest who should return from Liverpool than Catherine Moore; she had come home with a pitiful tale of how her unnatural and brutal husband had deserted her on the quay of Liverpool, leaving her a lonely and unfortunate woman to beg her way home.

Her astonishment-her horror, on hearing of the discovery of the mutilated remains of her husband, operated so strongly on her feelings, that she confessed her guilt, and all the appalling circumstances connected with it. It seems Moore's brains were beaten out on the night he was last seen with his wife; and that on the next day this wretched woman and her mother dislocated the limbs, so as that they may be fitted on an ass's car-being concealed by straw, they then proceeded to Rossmore bog, which was seven miles distant, and in the loneliest part of that lonely place they flung their gore-clotted burden into an unclean hole.

The jury, after some brief deliberations, found a verdict of wilful murder against Catherine Moore and Bridget Thompson, mother and daughter. Budds drew up a committal for them accordingly, and they are to be transmitted to the county jail at Maryborough, there to await for trial until next spring assizes. The principal evidence against these wretched women will be supplied by two persons connected with them by the closest ties of sanguinity.

In closing this report, so illustrative of how far truth may be stranger even than fiction, it is but justice towards the sub-inspector, Mr. Warburton, to remark that his exertions in pursuing this horrible tragedy through all its dark details, deserve the highest commendation. On expressing our astonishment at the coincidence of the women, after an absence of nearly four weeks returning to the very spot where 12 men were holding an inquest on the putrid remains of the man whom she had murdered, we were informed that Mr.

Warburton, not being able to discharge from his mind the impression of Moore's murder, wrote to the man with whom he had stopped during the previous trip to Liverpool, and who had been a friend of his, to ask if he and his wife had arrived safe?

Moore happened to be at the time and inmate of this very lodging-house at Liverpool; the man read the letter for her. She expressed her uneasiness and said she should return home, as something must have happened to poor Pat. She accordingly left Liverpool for Tolerton and reached at the very crisis when her presence was necessary for the fulfilment of the ends of justice.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Wednesday, Oct 17, LOUGHREA POOR LAW UNION- In a few days 25 young women, who are at present inmates of the workhouse of Loughrea, will proceed to Portsmouth on their way to Sydney. They will be dressed most comfortably and are qualified to earn their own livelihood. The Loughrea workhouse is one of the very best in Ireland- the cleanliness, ventilation, and all the other internal arrangements of the building would, not be surpassed. The boys and girls receive instruction daily in neat commodious school-rooms and many of the former are taught the trades of the tailor and shoemaker and the work made by their hands supplies the inmates with shoes and clothes.

No idleness is permitted in the workhouse; every one is usefully employed. The managers of the establishment are not a board of guardians, but two vice-guardians, and no similar institution with which we are familiar can more justly lay claim to praise for the manner in which it is conducted. ARMAGH UNION- The twenty-nine female paupers left the workhouse yesterday for Dublin, preparatory to their embarkation for Australia. They looked healthy, smart and comfortable.

To most of the poor creatures the workhouse was the only home they ever knew; and such is the force of association and habits, that even on that asylum, so repulsive to many, they cast, when leaving, a longing, lingering look behind. KILLOUGHY, SUNDAY EVENING, OCT A melancholy spectacle greeted my arrival here to-day- one policeman lying dead, two mortally wounded, and two more suffering severely from gun shot wounds.

The cause of this sacrifice of human life is owing to the interference of the constabulary to prevent the removal of crops and cattle by a defaulting tenant. The following is a hurried outline of the tragedy: In a short time after, his attention was attracted by the passing of a number of cars, on the same road, followed by between 15 and 20 men who appeared to be armed. Between the hours of two and three o'clock this morning, the tramp of an approaching party, accompanied by horses and cars, was heard, this induced Constable Hall to range his small force, leaving six on one side of the barrack, and keeping his own four men in front with himself.

The advancing body was now nearly on a line with the barrack, driving on foot about fifteen head of cattle, when the constable called out to the leaders to halt. Upon this, the man that seemed to direct the movements of the party, who was John Keyes of Capparogan near Clonslee, stepped forward and said, "Constable Hall, don't virtual families 2 making more money know me?

I am but removing my crops and cattle, which are not under seizure. Keyes again expostulated; but the constable evinced a stern determination of carrying out his purpose, when the former exclaimed, "armed men to the front.

Four shots were immediately returned by the police and it is supposed with deadly effect. One of them was discharged by Constable Gleeson, though he had his thigh broken in two places. After the exchange of shots, the assailing party passed off with great rapidity from the scene of bloodshed. APPALLING MURDER- KING'S COUNTY CHARLES CAGE, ESQ. From a Correspondent of the Mayo Constitution. Sunday, October 14, - This morning as this unfortunate gentleman was riding to prayers on one of the tenants' horses, he was shot dead on the road coming out of Creggan can you really make money as a day trader, a little above the bridge which divides Ferbane townland and Curraghdown.

It is supposed three men were engaged in the dreadful affair; they freelance bookkeeping jobs from home south africa behind the ditch on Ferbace or Corr side, a place well selected for such a villainous deed.

A quantity of clay was laid on to fill up some unevenness without any broken stones or gravel being laid over it; the consequence is that a regular sink is formed, and must remain so during the winter unless the contractor completes his work in a proper manner, and we beg to call the attention of the County Surveyor to it. O'Donovan of this town, proprietor of the Sligo and Derry Mail Coach, has started a car to run glass for binary options trading signals Stranorlar to Letterkenny.

The former of these places it leaves at half-past two o'clock, just after the arrival of the Sligo mail for Derry; and from Letterkenny it starts the following morning at a quarter before eight o'clock exactly, and then arrives at Stranorlar before the Sligo mail for Derry reaches that town. This arrangement binary option system mechanics be advantageous to the public, as at present letters from Stranorlar to Letterkenny are delayed overnight in Strahane and in fact, all letters from Sligo to that town, and by return are delayed, also from Letterkenny to Stranorlar, Donegal, Ballyshannon, and Sligo.

O'Donovan is an enterprising gentleman and deserves to be supported. EXPORT OF CATTLE FROM BELFAST- The number of cattle shipped from this port since the 1st of September has far exceeded that of any former season. We would not be overstating the fact, if we set down the traffic in this article of export at treble its amount at any previous period. Every day large and numerous herds of beasts, chiefly store or "stock" cattle, are to be seen passing through our streets on their way to the steam-packet berths.

They have, for the most part, been purchased in the county of Derry ,and in the lower part of the county of Antrim, by dealers, who are enabled to pick them up from the poorer farmers at a very low figure, the scarcity of money among that class, and the unfavourable prospects of the stock market forecasters crop, inducing them to part with young stock they would otherwise have been but so glad to retain.

Many of them were the how much does a staff nurse earn in ireland of persons emigrating at this late period of the season or proposing to do so next spring.

The Southern Reporter of Tuesday contains a report of the empire stockbroker series 7 at a meeting of the Lew ward, Cork, held on Monday, for the purpose of electing a "trustworthy representative" for the beautiful city, in room of the late Mr. The chair was taken by Alderman Dowdes, who briefly addressed the assemblage.

Keneally here entered the meeting accompanied by some friends, when the people stood up-some cheering for M'Carthy, others for Murphy and others amusing themselves with catcall and uproar.

The Chairman called for silence. Voices from the Galleries. The Chairman- I want you to determine- Cries for M'Carthy-Kenealy-Murphy-and Repeal If you do not keep silence- Here a regular shindy was got up in the body of the building. Where one party attempted ,by force, to eject another. Nothing could equal the confusion that prevailed-whistling, screaming, cheering, groaning and hissing.

When the resolutions are put it is for you to affirm or reject them. A Voice- Three cheers for Kenneally. Great uproar and cries of "Put him out," "Throw him out. O'Flynn was about to propose a resolution when a fight took place in the body of the building, and created the utmost confusion, which continued for several moments.

At length, through the interference of Mr. Maguire, who addressed the meeting upon the disgraceful manner some persons present were conducting themselves, and called upon them as men for the sake of fair play to hear every person and then decide like rational beings, silence was restored. After a short period, Mr. Alex M'Carthy presented himself and addressed the electors. He was followed by Mr. Maguire, who spoke in his usual bold and independent fashion.

Kenneally next addressed the meeting, referring at length to Mr. M'Carthy's snss stock options by asking. I believe it to be utterly impossible that any man could be one day advocating the cause of his country and the how to install the mt 4 for binary options be hob-nob with Lord Clarendon, drinking his champagne and claret, purchased with the blood of his countrymen.

Groans, shrieking and cheering. When the Virtual stock market challenge Corpus Act was suspended, when the idea of freedom was but a delusion and a mockery, when bribes were given every day to every false and treacherous friend, when the illustrious patriots were juggled out of the country- am I to be told that that was the time for Mr M'Carthy to dine with Lord Clarendon?

M'Carthy says it is not true. Kenneally- I am told here by somebody at my back that my assertion is not true. Cries of "Calumny", "Is it true? Alexander M'Carthy- I rise to order, Mr. Chairman- Cries of hear, hear and "Down with Kenneally. Kenneally-I'm in possession- Cries of "turn him out. Is that fair play? Continued cries of "Turn him out, silence," groans and hissing. M'Carthy to say one word Hear and loud cheering. Cheering and great confusion. Hear, cheers and hissing.

Kenneally again essayed to speak, but was not with groaning, hissing, and cries of "You wont be heard, sit down, take off the specs;" and counter cries of "Hear the Counsellor, go on, we'll defend you, and you must be heard. M'Carthy- Cries of "Sit down, silence," and cheers for M'Carthy. M'Carthy come forward Continued interruption. Now I will be heard. Increased uproar which continued for several moments. M'Carthy come forward and put his hand upon his heart like an honourable man and say it is not true that he had dined with Lord Clarendon?

Hear, hear and cheering. M'Carthy- I rise to order. Cries of "Come forward. M'Carthy then stood on the table, and was received with most enthusiastic cheering. However, he was ultimately obliged to come to the front of the platform where he was greeted with great cheering. Silence being restored he said- He has confusion Mr. Kenneally has get fv cash for free the hardihood to assert to you that whilst prosecutions were going on against men connected with the popular party in Ireland I was dining with Lord Clarendon.

Hear, hear and cries of "He lies. Confusion and great uproar. M'Carthy- I have never but once been in the society of Lord Clarendon. Hear, hear and cries of "Ha,ha. Kenneally- Do you hear that, free and independent electors of Cork? Hear, cheering and groaning.

Kenneally- Hear that--"who was an intimate friend"-the brother of Mitchell's murderer. Loud cheering and cries of "Groans for Clarendon," uproar and confusion. A Voice-Three cheers for John Mitchell. Enthusiastic cheering, which lasted for several moments, and again and again renewed. M'Carthy proceeded- Lord Clarendon's brother who was an intimate friend of mine, having come over scottrade options expiration Dublin, I- Increased uproar, and cries of "The man who murdered Mitchell," "Mitchel's murderer.

Kenneally has put himself forward as the beau ideal of a patriot, having some extraordinary "divine mission. To such a mission I do not pretend. But I pretend to this-that I never say anything that is not true. Wherein he, notwithstanding his "divine mission" has stated that which is not true. Loud cheering, and cries of "Out with Kenneally. Kenneally again presented himself to address the meeting, and after several attempts, was obliged to withdraw without being heard.

O'Sullivan was then called to the chair, and the thanks of the meeting being given to Alderman Dowden, the meeting separated, cheering for Mr. Shortly after the commencement of the proceedings, a scene of the utmost turbulence occurred immediately within the entrance of the building, how much money do temp agencies make by the unruly and violent conduct of some men of the class known as "collar men and quay porter," who, it is appeared, endeavoured, by noises and assaults on an opposite party of their own description, to raise a disturbance and interrupt the proceedings.

The riot at one period was so alarming-it being considered by many bystanders that the loss of life would be the result-that a body of police, under the command of Sub-Inspector Walker, was procured. The police remained in the vicinity of the place of meeting under arms, until the assemblage dispersed.

On the evening of Sunday or early in the morning of Monday tokyo forex market open a most brutal murder was committed in this neighbourhood where for very many years such a crime has not been perpetrated.

The unfortunate victim, John Mullin, an unmarried man, rented some grazing land in the townland of Rathkip, about two miles distant from this town, where he lodged in a miserable cabin and was considered to be possessed of a considerable sum of money which he obtained principally by dealing in sheep about a?????

His body was found in a field adjacent to where he futures traded india about 10 o'clock on the morning of Monday. There were several wounds on the head, inflicted by some sharp instrument, one of a fearful gash near the right ear and two of them desperate cuts on the neck and back of the head.

The pocket in the left side of his trousers was turned outside and that in the right cut away. He was in the habit also of carrying money in his hat, but all he was supposed to have about him was taken away except 16s. His murderers could have no other motive for their horrible crime than robbery, as the deceased was a quiet, well-disposed and honest man. On receiving information of the murder, Constable Phibbs, an exceedingly active officer, and his party, hastened to Rathkip and used every exertion to obtain a clue to the murderers.

They arrested four men on suspicion, and on the arrival of their Sub-inspector, O'Reilly from Easky, further scrutiny was made and five other persons were arrested as considered to be either implicated or to possess some knowledge that may lead to the conviction of the guilty parties. Faussett and M'Nair, the inquest was adjourned to 9 o'clock this morning at the police barrace, Ardarnee.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Wednesday, Oct 31, WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP From the Boston Evening Journal of Oct. A severe gale from N. Sad, indeed, is the devastation which the gale has wrought upon the coast, and our worst fears are more than realized in the heart-rending accounts which we are called upon to chronicle below-and yet we fear that all has not yet been told. Below we give the particulars, so far as we have learned them. The British brig St. John, Captain Oliver, from Galway, Ireland, anchored inside Minot's ridge about six o'clock a.

The captain, officers and mcdonalds stock market symbol with the exception of the first mate took to the boat, and landed safe at the Glades.

The passengers who were saved got on pieces of the wreck and landed near Whitehead, north end of Cohasset harbour. The number of passengers on board wasout of which about are supposed to have been lost. There were 14 cabin passengers, mostly women and children. Another account states that the captain took to the jolly boat which swamped and he swam to the long boat and was saved with ten others.

The second mate, two men, and two boys were lost. The remainder of the crew were saved. Captain Beals of the steamer, Mayflower, give us the following particulars: There appear to be different statements in elation to the number of passengers on board.

The captain says there were forex range bound trading while the passengers who were saved say there were Of karachi stock exchange shares tips saved and arrived at Cohasset, ten in number, seven were females and three males. Six of them were provided with quarters at the house of Captain Abraham H.

Tower, and the other four at Mr. Two of the women, it is thought, will not survive, one being badly cut on the head by a piece of the wreck. The other woman, it is said, has a husband residing in this city. She had three children on board with her, all of whom were lost. Another gentleman from Cohasset, informs us that the brig first went how much money does roger federer make in endorsements about half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, and shortly after her masts were cut away to ease her.

The captain and ten of the crew then took to the long boat and landed safely near the Glades. Previous to this, however, one of the mates, with two of the crew and several of the passengers attempted to leave the brig in the small boat, but she swamped alongside and all were lost.

The brig soon drifted on to the Grampus rocks, and almost immediately went to pieces strewing the beach with fragments. The life boat was manned, and every exertion made to save those floating in the surf, on the wreck. Only ten, however, were saved as stated above. Between 20 and 25 of the bodies of those lost had been recovered this morning when our informant left the spot.

Preparations were making by the coroner to have them decently interred. As near as we can ascertain, among the many conflicting stories, there were 21 saved in all passengers and the captain and 10 of the crew who came ashore in a long boat. The number lost is impossible to ascertain. According the to the captain's story there were on board including the crew.

If this is true, there were 99 lost. The passengers who were saved maintain, however, that there were passengers on board, which, if true, would swell the number to !

The captain and one of the mates, were are informed, arrived in this city from Cohasset in the noon train to-day. The following statement is from Captain Oliver himself: Not having room to wear ship, ventured to run where we saw a brig at anchor, inside of the light. The violence of the gale and heavy sea caused us to drag our anchors, when we cut away the masts, and held on for a shore time.

The gale increased, she dragged again, struck and thumped heavily for about one hour before she broke up.

Previous to breaking up the jolly boat was hanging by the tackles along side, when the stern ringbolt broke, and the boat fell into the water.

The captain, second mate, and two boys jumped into her to clear her, when about 25 passengers jumped in and swamped her. The passengers, together with the second mate and boys perished.

The captain caught a rope hanging over the quarter, and was drawn on board by the first mate. The long boat was got clear soon after and a heavy sea coming on board, cleared her from the vessel, when a number of passengers jumped over to swim to her, but all perished. The captain, first mate Mr.

Cummerfordeight of the crew, and two passengers swam to the boat, and reached the shore in safety. The others, seven men and eight women, came ashore on part of the deck. The total loss of life, 99; saved Twenty-five bodies have been washed ashore this morning. Austin Kearn, Catherine Flanagan, Betsey Higgins, Mary Keane, Michael Fitzpatrick, Michael Gibbon, Barbara Kennelly, Mary Slattery, Michael Redding, Honora Cullen, Honora Burke.

Up to four p. The bodies are to be buried to-day. SUDDEN DEATH- Private Walter Crawford, 92d Highlanders, was found dead in his bed in the Infantry Barracks, Clonmel, on Tuesday morning. The deceased was out on picquet the previous night in his usual health. An inquest was held on the body of the above day before Thomas Clayton, Esq. The deceased was, twenty-two years in the service, and was subject to an effusion of blood in the region of the heart. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH- It is out painful duty to announce the awfully sudden death of Francis Burke, Esq.

Burke was connected with the erection of our college, now so nearly brought to completion. An inquest is now sitting to ascertain the cause of death, the result of which had not reached us as we went to press.

When the Queen's visit to Ireland was announced, Mr. Christopher Fitzsimon, the son-in-law of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, late representative for the county of Dublin, and new Clerk of the Hanaper, addressed a letter to Mr. Corry Connellan, private secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, suggesting to his Excellency that Lady Jocelyn should not be permitted to attend the Queen to Ireland as Lady in Waiting, as her ladyship's attendance would reflect unpopularly upon the Queen.

The letter was dropped from Mr. Connellan's pocket, and its contents were communicated to various persons by the individual who found it. Rumour adds, but we believe without foundation, that Lord Clarendon acted upon Mr. A man in the employ of the Norwich post-office named Lucas had been proved to be the heir to an immense property, for years in chancery. At Newmarket last week Mr. Captain Hervey's Rhesus ran second by a length. John O'Donnell of Limerick, attorney, who was obliged to leave Ireland in consequence of several informations lodged against him as as Confederate Young Irelander, resided for months during his retreat at Constantinople.

In the Shannon he lay of f Scattery for 8 nights, and eluded, as we before stated, the search of Col. Vandeleur, and three war steamers-he was very nearly discovered but for the kindly feel of the master he was a board of, being a freemason. The naval officer did not intrude in the search on brotherly kindred being intimated. The late Captain Ogle's house at Dysart, near Castletowndelvin, was attacked on Saturday night by Whiteboys, and one of the party shot dead by W.

The Nenagh Guardians are considering the necessity of selling land for non-payment of poor-rates, under the Encumbered Estates Commisison. The Vice-Guardians of Thurles require 25 acres for a training school, and the Cashel Guardians are under taking a 25 acre model farm near Castlelake auxiliary workhouse.

In compliance with the exigencies of the times Lady Charlotte Wolfe has entrusted to her agent, Henry de Burgh, Esq. Rochfort having been removed as Secretary to the Galway Attorney Association, flung a decanter at one of the most respectable senior members of the profession, upon which he was forthwith expelled from that society.

John Francis Blake, Esq, proprietor of the Galway Vindicator, has been appointed printer to the Queen's College, Galway. At five o'clock the members of the society and their friends, numbering about eighty, sat down to an excellent dinner provided by Mr. Henry Lochran, in one of the large rooms of Mr. Gallagher's new houses, kindly lent for the occasion. It was extremely gratifying to see so many of the landlords together and to mark the interest each felt in the proceedings.

Colonel Gore occupied the chair, and after the cloth was removed, introduced the several toasts with appropriate remarks, dwelling on the advantages of such societies and the great good likely to result from the bringing together so many of the landed proprietors and tenant farmers.

During the course of the evening several very excellent speeches were made in responding to the toasts. Those of Richard Burke, Esq. Fetherstone, from the Royal Agricultural Society, Mr. Robert Scott were particularly interesting.

Fetherstone said he seldom saw a better breed of cattle than were exhibited that day, but they were sadly deficient in feeding, and in any of the infant societies he lately visited he did not feel so great an interest as in the Ballina Farming Society. Halliday read the list of successful competitors in stock, which are as follows: Best Bull within the district, Fitzherbert Pratt, Esq.

Prize, Royal Agricultural Society's Medal. Best Short-horned Cow in calf or giving milk, Mr. Best two-year old Heifer, Francis Knox Orme, Esq. Best yearling Heifer best in the yardF. Best Calf dropped inMr. Best pen of three Ewes, Edward Howley, Esq.

Best Agricultural Stallion, William Mallery, Esq. For the best Milch Cow in calf, or giving milk, Mr. For the best yearling Heifer, Mr. For the best Calf ofMr. For the best Brood Sow, Mr. For the best pen of Sheep three ewesno merit. For the best yearling Heifer, Matthew Melvyn, 15s. For the best fat Pig, recommended, 10s. Best Firkin of Butter, Mr. John Hughes, Practical Instructor for this district, and judge in connection with Mr. Ward, agriculturist to J.

Chairman and Gentlemen-Having finished our tour of inspection we have to furnish you with a few succinct remarks embodying our opinions of the objects of our examination, and containing our decisions as to the successful candidates.

Though it is not necessary to state, we may be permitted to say that we have observed closely, considered maturely, and concluded cautiously. The competitors in the First Class for the best cultivated five acres of root crop are the Hon.

Col Wingfield; Richard Burke, Wm. Orme, Mervyn Pratt, Arthur Perkins, Edward Howley, Edward Atkinson, W. Halliday, Robert Verschoyle and John Symes, Esq. Each of these gentlemen have a very good-some of them very excellent-turnips; but without waiting to particulars we may inform you at once that for cultivation, regularity, size and value of crop.

To assign the relative positions of the unsuccessful candidates in the order of merit is almost difficult. Considering the turnips of the remaining competitors in this class, exclusive of any other root crop, we believe that the following is the way in which they will stand in the scale of relationship: For the extent of crops, Mr.

Halliday claims first place, having about 60 acres of turnips; but for management, if it were possible to make a distinction, we are inclined to think that it is to Mr. Indeed to notice everything that attracted our attention, and which elicited our approbation at the time of observation would take more time than we have got to spare, owing to the later hour at which we finished our examination.

Much praise is due to all for their exertions, their example, and their eagerness to improve the system of cultivation pursued by the tenantry surrounding them. However, it is unnecessary for us to say how high a place they hold in our estimation we will proceed to deliver our decisions upon the competitors as they present themselves to us.

As to the drainage, we can only say that for neatness of execution Mr. Tottenham, or rather Mr. Delahunty, the person who conducted his drainage operations, deserves the first notice, but the extent being a great object of consideration we cannot pronounce our opinion until we receive a statement from each gentleman of the quantity he has drained, certified by Mr. Halliday, the inspector, if you think it necessary. We have now to consider the Second Class, in which there are but two candidates- Mr.

Robert Scott, who has entered for the best cultivated farm, neat cottage, and best cultivated crop of turnips, not less than two estate acres; and Mr. Thomas Scott, who has entered for a neat cottage only. Now no prize being offered for a neat cottage in the second class, there is consequently no competition, and as we have just reason to applaud Mr. Robert Scott's systematic farming, his very neat cottage, with beautiful flower knots before the door ,and well-managed orchard, together with neatly trimmed hedges, we adjudge him the Royal Agricultural Society's Medal.

Thomas Scott we could not speak in too high terms, for his large and well-formed manure heap, and his excellent crop of white Belgian carrots, as well as the general management of his farm, but as the entry which he has made does not call for our decision we must take leave for the purpose of deciding on the Third and Fourth Class.

In it the competitors for he best cultivated statute acre of turnips are Patt Dooher, Thomas Knight, Richard Fox, Pat Gallagher, and James Watt. For a rood of root crop, exclusive of turnips, Richard Cox is the only competitor; and to whatever cause it may be attributable, it is so poor a one that we cannot think of adjudging it any reward.

For a neat cottage there are but two entries-Richard Cox and Mathew Keane. For the best cultivated farm there is no entry, but we strongly recommend Thomas Knight for the prize in consequence of the freedom of his land from weeds, and its general neatness. Pat Dooher is the only person who has entered for a manure heap. It is a pretty large one, but the proportion of bog mould is far too great, however, for the purpose of encouraging future competition in that line, we think it would be well to give him the second prize, which is 10s.

For land drained and sub-soiled, Richard Cox is the only person who has entered and he is decidedly worthy of consideration for the great improvement which he has effected in that respect upon his farm.

You will exercise your own discretion in giving or withholding any encouragement, as we do not wish to say he is deserving of so large a prize as you have offered for drainage without having had any competitor. Having now decided upon all cases we were called to pass judgment upon, it is unnecessary to offer any further remark than that we have acted strictly impartial.

Hughes's report was received as very interesting, and all the successful competitors severally responded to their Health.

The utmost harmony prevailed throughout the evening; and from the interest that has been excited there is every reason for calculating upon the success of the Ballina Farming Society. In responding to "The health of the Landlords, Tenant-farmers, and Agricultural labourers" at the dinner of the Agricultural Society in this town, on Monday last, a remark fell from Thomas Jones, Esq.

He said, "I have kept all my tenants. Jones all his tenants? Well is it for the tenant to have such a landlord; and, doubtless, while both properly comprehend the relation they stand in towards each other the greatest amount of prosperity the times allow must fall to their lot. Such is the bankrupt state of this union that the entire of the beds, bedcloths, and other furniture in the union workhouse and auxiliaries are being sold off, at a sixth of their value, to satisfy a portion of the demands of one or two of its numerous creditors.

On Friday the furniture of the Ardnaree auxiliaries was sold by Robert Christian, Esq. Yesterday the furniture of the union house was sold at the suit of Wm. Such is the creditable state of affairs in these unions, of which the government and its servants, the Poor Law Commissioners, must be exceedingly proud.

The newly elected members of the Board of Guardians of this union while out of office have frequently censured the conduct of the gentlemen whose place they now supply, which affords us some little encouragement that one wish, at leastof the rate-payer in town will be gratified; we alluded to the cleansing of the streets and foot-ways which are at present in a most abominable state- stones lying about, rendering the passage dangerous for vehicles-heaps of filth, offensive to the sight and injurious to the health-and the depth of mud foot passengers must wade through, all of which could be removed by a few of the able-bodied recipients of relief, without their suffering the slightest additional degradation.

We have on many occasions called the attention to the magistrates, guardians, and townspeople to this subject, but, to their shame be it spoken, with no good result.

We now wait to see what the new guardians will do. The following persons have been selected Guardians for the above union: Castlebar Electoral Division, 4 guardians- James Malley, John Bole, William Walsh, Edward Cannon. Islandeady, 1 guardian-Patrick Walsh. Turlough, 2 guardians- Edward M'Donnell, John Malley. Strade, 3 guardians- Pat Jennings, Andrew Jennings, John Malley. Balla, 1 guardian-Martin Barrett. Drum, 2 guardians-Patrick Daley, Martin Blake. Ballintubber, 3 guardians-Malachy Tuohy, James Tuohy, Ignatius Kelly.

Ballyheane, 1 guardian-Richard S. Breaffy, 1 guardian-Thomas Moran. In the matter of John O'Connell-Owner, John O'Connell; Petitioners, Kean Mahony, Mary Ann Mahony, and James Barry, executors of Kean Mahony, deceased; Miles Mahony, attorney.

In the matter of John O'Connell and Morgan John O'Connell-Owners John O'Connell and Morgan John O'Connell; Petitioner, Denis Moylan; David and Thomas Fitzgerald, attorneys.

In the matter of Robert Dillon Browne, M. On Wednesday last, Meredith Thompson, Esq. Sub-Inspector O'Reily assisted in the investigation.

Before the examination of the following witnesses several were produced but their evidence did not afford the slightest clue to the discovery of the murderers. Constable Phibbs examined-On hearing of the murder proceeded to Rathkip between 11 and 12 o'clock on the morning of Monday the 22d; found the body of John Mullin, lying on the right side in an open field, moved it about, and looked at the state in which it was; found the left pocket of his trousers turned out and the right pocket torn off; found the deceased's hat lying a yard or two from the body when he came up; there were no marks of a struggle, the cloths were not dirty or wet though it rained very much that night and morning; if Mullin was out that night as it is said he was he would be quite wet for there is no shelter in the fields; arrested several persons on suspicion.

The Coroner here called upon Doctor M'Munn for his evidence. It appeared that the Coroner not being satisfied with Dr. Fausett's port mortem examination on Tuesday, sent out Doctor M'Munn to make a second post mortem examination, but the jury were of opinion that it were better to hear Doctor Fausett first, who was then sent for. Coroner-Doctor, are you a qualified surgeon, as I believe none but a surgeon can make a post mortem examination at an inquest.

The Forman of the Jury-I think we better examine Dr. Doctor, take the book. Doctor Fausett- Not before I am paid two guineas, the usual fee. Coroner-I am not going to pay you now out of my own pocket, so if you will not give your evidence before you are paid we must examine Doctor M'Munn.

Doctor M'Munn was then examined- Examined the body of the deceased and saw several wounds on the head, especially on the right side where there is a very extensive fracture and extravasation of blood which was the cause of death; the wound was such as might be inflicted by a small hammer generally used in breaking stones for roads. Denis Carabine, one of those arrested on suspicion, was next sworn after being cautioned to say nothing that might criminate himself-Deceased lodged in his house since last spring; on last Sunday night Mullen went out about ten o'clock and witness went out with him and remained out about half an hour looking after his crops; heard no noise except of some youngsters at a distance; when Mullin was out I never bolted the door; never saw him count any money; he owed me 10s.

Witness bought a cow on last Saturday but only paid 6d. Pat M'Loughlin examined-Lives in Ballina; Denis Carabine was bout three months behind in his employment; was not with him the last fortnight; heard Carabine say he was preparing to go to America; thinks 3s.

Widow Mary Clarke sworn. The inquest was then adjourned to the following day when Mr. Michael Clark examined- I am son of widow Clark; works with Mr. Irwin's about some money. Here the notes which were found with Michael Clark were examined and they presented some slight traces of blood.

Pat Fury, Michael Fury, Wm. Feeny, Peter M'Manaman, Pat Kearney, and Wm. Neary were next examined but there was nothing in their evidence of any importance. Ellen M'Anally-Lodges in Carabine's and was there on Sunday night; knows the two Clark's and saw Owen Sunday morning at Carabine's; [after much hesitation]-Owen Clark came to Carabine's about two hours of after night and was about an hour in the house; Clark was not in the house when Mullin came in; at the time Mullin went out we all went to bed; is certain Carabine did not go with him, if he did he was not out 5 minutes; could not say whether Carabine swore the truth when he said he went out with Mullin and remained out about half an hour.

William Kelly, the lad who herded Mullin's sheep was re-examined but nothing important illicited. A shirt found in Clark's house was here exhibited. It was wet and dirty and greatly soiled with soot drops which in one or two places appeared like blood. The white waistcoat and hat worn by Owen Clark on Sunday could not be found by the police. The inquest was further adjourned to Friday next, and Denis Carabine, Owen Clark, Michael Clark, Mary Carabine and Eliza M'Anally were committed to the Sligo gaol.

During the awful winter ofand the spring and summer which immediately succeeded it, many were the statements put forward, from time to time, in the Cork newspapers, respecting the desolating effects produced by Whig misgovernment and Whig heartlessness in, among other districts of that once splendid county, the devoted union of Skull. Indeed it would seem as as if one of Lucian's pleasantries had been realized in that feted locality, and that from its incredibility the whole story was but ideal, and only fit to be believed in those regions where "Skull, the son of Skeleton, the Native of Ghostland, of the tribe of the Bloodless," has been declared, in amusing fiction, to have pronounced a certain decree.

The story, however, has turned out to be terribly true. The mortality, it is now ascertained, has been much worse than any exaggeration had represented it, or the most vivid fancy could possibly conceive.

The Cork Examinerin a paragraph we should certainly have noticed on Tuesday, had the pressure on our space permitted, contains a statistical statement in reference to this heart depressing subject, which, were it not for its apparent authenticity, would absolutely stagger belief.

They "tell a fearful tale," but not a whit more fearful than might be told with equal truth of other parts of the country. The following is the communication with which the Examiner ushers in its statistics: Could there be a more striking account given of the destitution which prevailed in this unhappy district during he past season of famine?

Here are the figures: The Examiner 's correspondent, it will be observed, imputes a fair share of this depopulation to evictions; yet how could these be avoided, seeing that many of the ancient halls of the Cork aristocracy have been deserted for ever, we fear, owing in a great degree to non-payment of rents we are not losing sight of mortgages and extravagances, and many more to terrorists and premeditated roguery? It is quite possible, however, nay, almost certain, that on those points our contemporary and ourselves may materially disagree, yet, be that as it may, we are no less pleased to see the case of the Skull Union brought prominently forward before the people of Cork, at the eve of an election.

Most sincerely do we trust that the constituency of what is, after all, the second city in Ireland, will seriously ask themselves, to which is the desolation of Skull to be imputed? Let this be done in a spirit of true nationality, and we think the result of the pending contest between the Whig Mr. M'Carthy-we are far from blaming him for accepting any Lord Lieutenant's hospitality- and Colonel Chatterton, cannot be doubtful.

It certainly ought not to be if the Cork electors remember that they have national insults to resent, and a country yet to be saved. THE ARMY War Office, Sept. THE CROPS- The great bulk of the cereal crops of this district are now safe in the farm yards and may be considered as above an average. The potato blight is not increasing so rapidly as was feared. Some fields have suffered immensely while others are altogether safe or but partially blighted.

It is hoped from the sound and firm state of the potatoes, especially those planed early, the disease will not extend itself much father. If so there will still be a very plentiful supply.
