PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE

     Wednesday evening, between six and seven o'clock, James York, a respectable farmer, from Tubberclare, near this town, having business to transact in the vicinity of the Canal, he walked into the water, and was unfortunately drowned.-- Athlone Herald.
     ENNIS, Nov. 18.- Saturday night, four cows and a heifer, the property of a tenant of Charles H. Leslie, Esq., were inhumanly cut and houghed on the lands of Balllinaspegmore, County Cork. A large reward is offered for the apprehension of the perpetrators.
     On Friday last, the Rev. J. Kinehan, the Clergyman of the Established Church at Feakle, visited a school at Isle, which is under the tuition of a person named Moloney. On his return, accompanied by this person, he had proceeded but a short distance from the school, when he was struck with a stone by a villain, from behind a ditch.-Mr. Kinehan could accurately discern the size and apparel of the ruffian, but not his face, as he immediately made off. The Rev. Gentleman shortly after called on the military stationed at Feakle and told them the circumstances-from thence an official account was transmitted to the commanding officer here. The ruffian has for the present eluded search, but, we trust, he will yet meet with the reward of his misguided zeal. The only cause that can be assigned for this assault on a most exemplary clergyman, is his having visited the school. His being a stranger, and not recently appointed in that part of the country, renders the outrage to be the more deplored.
     On Friday last an inquest was held before R. Greene, Esq., on the body of a man named Taaffe, who resided about mid-way between this town and Corofin. The circumstances of his death were as follow- A few days previous, a firkin of butter and some wearing apparel were stolen from the house of a neighbour, who was disconsolate for the loss. The strictest search proved fruitless, until Thursday evening, when the deceased, as he was passing along the road, observed a dog tearing up the ground, which seemed to have been recently dug. Attracted by the appearance of the dog, he removed some stones, and there discovered the stolen property. He instantly communicated the happy tidings to the owner, who, in return, invited the deceased and four or five others to drink at his "whiskey forge," where they remained until early next morning. The house of the deceased was but a short distance off, across a field, and the rest of the party offered to accompany him, which he would not permit, but jumped over the wall - not far from where he was found a corpse at twelve o'clock the next day! The Jury returned a verdict of "died by the visitation of God."
     Last night, Messrs. Hewitt and Clancy, Officers of Excise, assisted by Lieut. Welseley, and a party of the 25th regiment, stationed here, succeeded in destroying an extensive distillery, consisting of large quantities of singlings and potale, with vessels, on the lands of Ballynacossugh, in the parish of Kilmaly.
     The house of a man named Martin Thompson, (who prosecuted a Roman Catholic, named James M'Cosker, at Omagh Sessions, for a party riot in April last), residing at Knockinnis, Co. Fermanagh, was attacked and robbed of a firelock, on the night of the 1st inst. by a number of persons, who beat the poor man in a savage manner. On the night of the 9th inst., the cowardly villain put his cow to death, by pouring vitriol down her throat. A few nights after the latter outrage, a number of ill-disposed ruffians of the opposite party, attacked the house of several Roman Catholics, and beat the inhabitants with sticks in a cruel manner.
     Wednesday, a woman named Johanna Halloran fell into a reservoir of burnt-beer at the Thomond-gate distillery, and was terribly scalded-she was conveyed immediately to the County Infirmaty.
     Thomas Doolan, Esq., C.C.P., is about to be removed from this district, comprising the Baronies of Castlea and Kilmallock, in the County Limerick, and to replace Captain Dumas, in the Barony of Small County. Mr. Jackson, son of the late Captain Jackson, of the Clare Militia, is to succeed Mr. Doolan at Kilmallock.
     His Majesty's Government, in this County, have ordered the sum of 30l. to be given to Michael Gorman, sen., whose son was murdered whilst bravely defending his house at the Commons of Rathkeale, in the Spring of 1822, when it was attacked by a large armed party of Whiteboys, and for which offence Pat. Bennet was capitally convicted at the last Assizes of Limerick.
     A man named Peter Hynes, who was recently endeavouring to deceive the Magistrates of the Co. Cork, by giving false information, has been transmitted by Major Carter, to Limerick, in order to have him transmitted to this County, whence he states he is from.
     Tuesday, Timothy Sheahan, charged with the murder of the Franks family, and who escaped out of the guard-room of Doneraile, was taken prisoner near Mallow.
     The parishioners of the Union of Dunkerrin, diocess of Killaloe, have compounded with the Very Rev. Dean Hawkins for the sum of 1000l. per an exclusive of his valuable glebes.
     On Thursday night last, four cows, the property of Thomas Gibbon, was houghed on the lands of Edmondstown, in the County Mayo.   

DIED

     In Dominick-street, Galway, on the 22d instant, aged 69 years, Mrs. D. Cannon, wife of John Cannon, of Millmount, Esq. of a painful and lingering illness, which she bore with that fortitude and meek resignation which ever distinguishes a true christian. As a most exemplary wife, an affectionate and tender mother, and a sincere friend, she was equalled by few; she departed this life with full assurance of a blessed immortality, most deeply and sincerely regretted by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances.

ORANGEISM IN AMERICA

BATTLE OF THE BOYNE
(From the New York Commercial Advertiser)

     The October Term of the Court of Sessions for the City and County of New York, was closed on Saturday. It will be remembered that at the last Term, four of the persons called Orangemen, were convicted of an assault and battery upon one Jas. Morney, viz. George Black, David Waugh, John Mullin and John Moore; but their sentence was suspended until a trial on one of the cross-indictments could be had at the present Term-there having been five indictments against three of those professing the roman Catholic religion. The names of the latter were Hugh M'Avoy, and Cecilia, his wife, James Cassidy, David M'Williams and Timothy Leary. This was an affray which took place in the village of Greenwich on the 12th July last, in consequence of the celebration by the Orangemen of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. Our readers must by this time have become so well acquainted with the leading facts of this case, that it is hardly necessary minutely to recapitulate them. We pass on, therefore, to the observations of the Recorder on this occasion-premising, that on the latter trial of the Catholics, he had stated the law in strong and decisive terms to be-that whatever provocation might have been given, it could not amount to a justification-not even though the first blows, as well as the first provocation came from one party; that no person was permitted to mingle in the affray, unless with a view to prevent further mischief; and that any person so interfering was bound at his peril to give notice that his intention was to keep peace, and not to take part in the affray. And as it appeared that the parties lived on opposite sides of the street, and that the battle had taken place on the side occupied by the Orangemen, there was therefore a presumption that the others had crossed the street with a view of encountering them, and that it resembled the case of two men going out to box by agreement-the one accepting the challenge of the other, in which case both parties, and all that took part with either, were alike guilty of a breach of the peace. Messrs. Emmet and Sampson, of Counsel for the Catholic party, agreed that their clients should (the trials having already been greatly protracted) submit to a verdict against them, leaving it to the wisdom of the Court to admonish the aggressors, in such manner as they should think of the case required, and to bind the parties respectively to keep the peace. On Saturday the respective parties appearing, pursuant to their recognizances, the Recorder first addressing himself to the Orangemen, proceeded substantially as follows: He began by representing to those called Orangemen and Purple Marksmen, the extreme absurdity-not to call it by a worse name- of their revising, in this country, such antiquated, dangerous, and unbecoming prejudices. Perhaps they had not been long here, and had not yet discovered how worse than contemptible such violent and unjustifiable antipathies on the score of religion must appear; and he hoped that it would be unnecessary to apply that severe correction that often in cases of this kind had been known to harden rather than reform the offenders.
     After some general observations on the evils of religious persecution, the Recorder proceeded to address the defendants personally to the following effect:
     "With respect to Catholics, or United Irishmen, for so these have been alternately denominated, we possess in them valuable accessions to one strength, and ornaments in society. Their characters are known to us all, and to me in particular. We again regret that any of thm should have suffered themselves to have been provoked or betrayed by their feelings into any affray which has not only cost them much time and trouble, but brought them into this place as offenders against our laws. Mr. M'Avoy appears to be a respectable man, and you all appear, and are represented as industrious citizens. For M'Avoy there is some excuse, as he went into the affray to protect his wife from insult and injury. Mrs. M'Avoy is also a respectable female; but she was wrong in throwing a stone, although she did so from seeing a relation in trouble among them. With respect to you who are called Orangemen, or purple marksmen, the Court, from well considered motives, are inclined, for this time, to let your own reflections counsel and direct you to a better way of thinking-you will consider how much of your time you have lost by getting into quarrels and prosecutions to your impoverishment. And all of you must feel how such passions tend to embitter your own lives, and to discredit yourselves in the community, which receives you with the only condition that you respect the laws, and conduct yourselves with propriety. You will also soon perceive that political fanaticism, though not so odious, can lead to no good result, and that nothing can be more absurd than the cherishing of idle remembrances and antipathies, formed upon events so antiquated, and foreign to the opinions and concerns of the country which you have selected for your habitation.- You are at perfect liberty to commemorate any festivals of public events, but it must be done in a manner to give no offence to your neighbours, or to disturb the public peace. As to the celebrations of the Battle of the Boyne, of what good can it be to yourselves, while it can but appear absurd to us? it appears that about 125 years ago, King William made war upon his father-in-law, King James, and obtained a victory upon the banks of the Boyne. This was also considered a victory over the Catholics, and the respective parties took sides. if men are so irrational as to look back into antiquity for causes of perpetual feuds, at what time is the re to be peace upon this earth? In this country it appears foolish to be seriously spoken of, and we hope that your reasons will better cure these unmeaning bickerings, than a heavy punishment. Therefore, to give it a better chance to operate, we shall for the present trust to this admonition, and order that each of you who have been found guilty, be bound in your own recognizances for 200 dollars, with a security in 100 dollars, to keep the peace for one year, hoping that by that time you will be of opinion that your best policy, and truest interest and happiness, will be in conforming to the laws that protect you, and avoiding the consequences that must follow, if such disorders should ever be repeated by any of you."

CATHOLIC RENT- PARISH OF NEWTOWN

     We discover, in the Resolution at Newtown, which will be found in our advertising column, that his Excellency the Earl of Clancarty has contributed to the support of the measures of the Catholic Association. There is in those Resolutions a vote of thanks to the Nobleman for his subscription. It will be recollected that this Nobleman is brother to his Grace the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr. Trench, of Ballnasloe, and many other distinguished TRENCHES. Prince Hoheulobe is completely outdone. Irish Miracles are now go. Even those of the Establishment are beginning to deal in the stupendous.

UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE

     In our last we had, under the above head, a few lines, which we since, and immediately after the publication of our Journal, discovered to be an erroneous statement. As far as we are concerned it will be recollected, that we must receive our information on such subjects from others, who may themselves be deceived or misled.- The occurrence, with which the Policeman of the revenue Corps, was connected, took place about ten o'clock on Sunday evening, and when we wrote the few lines in allusion to it on Monday, the Magistrate's investigation was proceeding, but had not been terminated. Of course, then, we could not have collected any thing like a definitive account from the affidavits, and what we gave was merely a matter of hearsay, and one of the thousand and one reports which were flying abroad.- We find that this unfortunate person had been drinking at a christening with one of the Veterans, in the Shambles Barrack, and when returning home got into an altercation with, we hear, a person named Joyce- blows ensued, and the Policeman not being the better man, ran home to his barracks, and having armed himself with his carbine and pistol returned to the spot, where he met a man named Roche, dressed in similar cloths to those of his opponent Joyce. The mistake was rather an unfortunate one for poor Roche. The Policeman aimed his pistol and fired at him, and the ball took effect immediately under the poor man's arm, and passed out under the blade bone. The wound is not mortal.- When some of the townspeople heard the discharge of fire arms a large concourse of people collected to the spot and gave M'Nally a desperate beating of which he lies dangerously ill.
     Here we think it due to the parties concerned, to state that we have, with all the diligence in our power, endeavoured to discover whether the above occurrence was at all connected with that vile spirit of party which is staling through the Country.- Did it at all savour of any such-those who know us are aware that the fact would not be conceded by us. We would ring it through the Country until it reached the ears of the Viceroy. But, in truth, we have not discovered any such matter.- It was, we believe, one of those unfortunate bursts of passion which occasionally disgrace our nature. The consequences have been indeed melancholy.- but nothing like a party spirit could be discovered in any part of the transaction by the Hon. Mr. Ffrench, the Magistrate, who took the informations and examined the parties.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     It does not appear to be generally understood by the small farmers, that in the case of all lettings subsequent to the introduction of the Tithe Composition Act into a parish, the occupant is entitled from his landlord to credit, in his account of rent, for any money paid as tithe composition, as for so much paid for his landlord's use.

     The Hon. Mr. Hare, Candidate for the County Kerry, has declared his determination in the event of his election, to support the question of Catholic Emancipation. He has obtained the support of the Earl of Kenmare.

     The Borough of Mallow will be warmly contested by Lord Glentworth, son of the Earl of Limerick. It was this Nobleman who made the first effort to oppose the Corporation interest of Limerick, in which his brother-in-law, T.S. Rice, Esq. afterwards succeeded.
