More violences ! Mr. John Carden, of Barnane, near Templemore
in Tipperary, has been shot dead near his house. And a man who was looking at some cattle belonging to his brother, a grazier at Athboy in Meath, has been wounded.
A set of papers in the Times, of which there is one this morning, taken together, countenance the supposition that some measure of compulsory pacification is intended for the disturbed districts of Ireland. The Magistrates of Limerick, of all parties—Lord Monteagle was present— met lately and passed stringent resolutions declaring that the consta- bulary ought to be reinforced. Soldiers are to be distributed in detach- ments over the disordered districts. All this the Times commends, in terms which, though not specific, look as if it were trying how it suits the public taste. In spite of Mr. O'Connell's maladroit advocacy of Irish grievances, England will not be satisfied if coercion prove all that is meant for Ireland.
