Another bloody rencontre took place on Monday, at Mooncoin, a

little village in the neighbourhood of Waterford, between the Police and the peasantry. The object of the Police was to protect a person employed in posting notices, demanding payment of arrears under Mr. STANLEY'S Act. The" passive resistance" mob resisted this of course, as they resist every thing, trespass or non- trespass; and after long threatening, the Police were compelled to Ere. They had previously been repeatedly reminded of Carrick- shogh. Twelve of the mob fell dead, and thirty were severely wounded in this struggle of numbers and violence against disci- pline and law. One of the persons killed was a girl, aged only seventeen. Bullets are no respecters of persons.
