On Thursday, in open day, a flotilla of boats, about

forty-five in num- ber, manned by the peasantry, destroyed the whole of the Scotch weirs in the New Ross river, for about six miles. A party of' military from- Duncannon Fort were sent after the, rioters, but they had sailed away beyond the possibility of pursuit. All the bridges and roads leading to Tullamore are cut up and broken. Those men who remain in the town to bury the dead get nine shillings a day.—Limerich Chronicle.
