The Irish papers relate a variety of outrages committed in various parts of the country. The Clonmel Herald states, that early in the morning of the 20th inst. Francis Despard, Esq. of Killaghly Castle, was shot when entering a house in one of his shrubberies; the shot tore his coat, and on turning round he saw a man preparing to discharge a blunderbuss at him; he hastily entered the door, and closed it, when 17 bullets were driven through the door, all of which he escaped by inclining on one side. Mr.Despard, being armed himself with a loaded pistol, sallied forth, when the villain who discharged the blunderbuss missed fire at him with a pistol, and fled; but Mr.Despard wounded him severely, making him drop the pistol. Mr.D. then ran to his house for assistance, but the assassins escaped, and the country was scoured by military parties next day in vain. The wounded man was traced by his blood through 3 or 4 fields. Mr.Despard, who is a most active magistrate, was mainly instrumental in bringing to justice the murderers of the Sheas; and it is supposed this attack on his life was perpetrated by some of that gang.

Extraordinary Case.- A few days since a young girl named Mary Brien, while driving some cows, near Tralee, in Ireland, received a stab in the left side of her belly, from one of their horns, and the greater part of her intestines and mesentery rushed out through the opening. On examination one of the intestines was found to be slightly wounded, and bits of hay strewed on the surface of others, which being carefully removed, it was found impossible to reduce them through the narrow opening, which was obliged to be considerably enlarged. With great difficulty the final reduction of the entire of the protruded parts was effected, the wound brought together, and the girl is now perfectly convalescent, being one of the most extraordinary cases of the kind on record. - Tralee Paper.

New Machine for Digging Potatoes.-- Mr.Michael Barry, of Swords, has invented a machine, simple in its construction and principle, by which, with two horses and one attendant, an acre of potatos can be dug out in one hour - also, an acre of ground, previously ploughed for oats or other grain, can be harrowed by it in an hour with two horses and one attendant, thereby effecting in the branch of harrowing a saving of upwards of 93 per cent.; or, in other words, doing the work of thirty-two horses and sixteen attendants with two horses and one attendant.

Johanna Southcott.-: The doctrines of this fanatical impostor, strange as it may seem, continue to obtain converts in various parts of the kingdom, particularly of late at Plymouth, where a man named John Wroe has been preaching and enforcing them. Among other things this man intimated that the chief means of obtaining eternal salvation was to wear the beard unshaven, for (said he) "as the beard lengthens the faith strengthens." In conformity to this doctrine, several shipwrights in the yard, and others who are among the converted, have refused to aIlow a razor to touch their chins, and they may be seen at their daily employ with beards like those of Russian boors, the objects of merriment to their companions, and of pity to the more enlightened.

Mrs.Cording, a farmer's wife, of Huish Champflower, Somersetshire, having become a Ranter, was so deluded by the doctrines of that sect as to become deranged; she was consequently sent to an asylum for lunatics, from which she escaped last week, and returned to her mother's at Batheaston. Her husband went to see her, when she immediately rushed out of the house, and threw herself into a fish-pond. The husband plunged in, but was unable to rescue her, and both were drowned.

On Wednesday evening an inquisition was taken at the Bull's Head, in Crown-street, Soho, touching the death of a man named John Williams, who died from having taken too large a dose of colchicum infused in rum, as a remedy tor the rheumatic gout.- Witnesses having been heard, the Coroner proposed to view the body, when it was found that it was screwed down, and in such a state of decomposition, that it would be highly dangerous to the Jury to have the lid taken off:- The Coroner said there could be no inquest unless they could view the body.-The Jury persisted that they could not stand by while the coffin was opened; under those circumstances, the Coroner ordered the Court to be dissolved, and no verdict was returned.




Weymouth, Sept.30.- Last Saturday evening George Bankes, Esq. our worthy Recorder, arrived here on a visit to John Herbert Brown, Esq. The following morning he accompanied the Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation, to attend divine service at Melcombe Regis Church. The next day that gentleman visited his numerous friends in the island of Portland, and he had an opportunity of witnessing the unanimous popular feeling of the freeholders towards him, and their decided determination to oppose any candidate that might offer himself for the county, who would not pledge himself to oppose the bill for the emancipation of the Catholics.
The weather has been most delightful this week, and the bay in consequence has been full of shipping and pleasure yachts. The drives have exhibited splendid equipages; and, with the Esplanade, have been graced with much rank and fashion, among whom we particularly noticed, the Earl and Countess of Ilchester, Earl of Belmore, Countess of Howth, Lady Catherine St. Lawrence, Lady Elizabeth St. Lawrence, Viscount and Viscountess Duncan, Hon.Miss Duncan, Hon.Miss.Brookes, Lady Cromie, Sir Wm.Hicks, Bart., Lady Hicks, Lady and Miss Clarke, Mr William Clarke, Bart., Sir James Stuart, Bart., Lieut.Gen.

Poole, Sept.30.--- Mr.Dent having announced his intention to resign the representation of this town, Mr.Sturt and the Hon.W. F. S. Ponsonby have both personally canvassed the electors. In consequence of Mr.Morton Pitt's intention to retire from Parliament, a very respectable meeting of Mr.Portman's friends was held on Friday last, at the town hall, to consult on the best means to secure that gentleman's seat for the representation of the county, Peter Jolliffe, Esq. in the chair, when every gentleman present declared his determination to support Mr.Portman with his vote and interest. Severall resolutions were entered into, and a committee was appointed.
It is still the determination of a number of respectable inhabitants of this town to make another attempt to regain the right of elective franchise; and they have appointed a commitee for the purpose.




Winchester,
Saturday, October 1.

Mr.Jervoise has, by public advertisement, announced his intention to decline the further representation of this county, and to retire from public life.
The Musical Festival at Romsey, on Tuesday last, was attended by the principal families of the town and neighbourhood. It being a remarkably fine day, the town exhibited a scene of fashion and gaiety seldom witnessed on any occasion. About 700 persons witnessed the performances, which were on a larger scale than any witnessed in that spirited town for above 40 years. The arrangements in the venerable Abbey were were well adapted to accommodate the numerous and respectable assemblage, and the expectations which the talents of the performers and admirable selection of music had excited, were most admirably realized. Amid many beautiful pieces, the air "With Verdure clad" was sweetly sung by Miss Owens; and "He was despised," was expressively given by Mr. Harrington. The chasteness of Mr Loder's expression in "Comfort ye, my people," and the fervent aspirations of Pergolesi's "O Lord have mercy," emphatically delivered by Mr.Tubb, preeminently deserve notice. The Choruses in general were well sustained, but Attwood's Coronation Anthem, Glory to God. For unto us, The Multitude of Angels, from King's Oratorio of Intercession. The Hail-stones, and Beethoven's "Hallelujah to the Father," were in particular effective, and their performance reflects the highest credit on the whole of the persons engaged in them.- At the Evening Concert, the same distinguished vocalists again delighted an admiring company, who quite filled the Town Hall. A Concerto on the piano-forte by Miss Frederick, and a Flute Concerto by Mr.Quelch, elicited much applause.- Mr.Frederick led the band in his best manner, ably seconded by Mr.Baker; and we deem him fortunate in having ohtaincd the assistance of Mr.Biddlecomb, as conductor, whose attention and exertions were fully appreciated by the orchestra and the audience.

Palmer, one of the prisoners concerned in the Beach Cottage robbery, suddenly pulled open the grate, and knocking down both the carpenter (who is an old man) and the gaoler's wife, effected their escape.
