SIVINCL—On Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, a fire was dis-
covered on the premises of Mr. Rogers, of Chill:ode Lees, about seven. miles from Canterbury, which destroyed a barn, containing a large quantity of wheat, also forty sacks of potatoes, and one stack. There is no doubt but this was the work of an incendiary. Another incendiary fire took place on Monday last, at Whatlington, a place in the vicinity of Battle. Fifty quarters of oats, belonging to the clergyman, were consumed.—Brigefon Gazette. Munnmtmt IN Iukrdtrin.—m dreadful murder was committed near the Lighthouse, County Clare, the week before last. A man named Crotty, his third wife, and a man named l'el`Carthy, who had married a daughter of Crotty by a former wife, all lived in one house, but very unhappily, in consequence of disputes between-the wife and stepdaughter. Crotty was ill, and his wife suggested to M'Carthy that if his wife were out of the way they might be very happy, as old Crotty could not live long. On the following morning, they formed some pretext for sending M'Carthy's wife out, and following her they threw her off a cliff. M'Carthy is in Kilrush Bridewell, but the step-mother has not been taken.
TILE CIUURCII MILITANT.—A Limerick paper states that, on Wednes- day, last week, a party of police, whilst protecting a man who was serv- ing tithe processes for the Reverend Archdeacon Cotton, were assailed by a large mob, and were, in defence of their own lives, obliged to fire on the assailants, when one woman was s:mt dead, and several persons were wounded.
