STATE OF THE COUNTRY

KILKENNY, Aug 23- Before day-break, on the morning of Saturday, last, the
17th instant, nine persons went to the house of James BRENNAN, farmer, at
Sart, in this County, and rapped at his door. He inquired what they wanted,
on which they demanded to know why he took the farm of Ballyntarsnah,
telling him that his stock was driven off it, and that if he drove them back
again he would not get them so easily another time. BRENNAN refused to open
the door, on which one of them broke a pane of glass, and put in at the
window a threatening notice, of which the following is a copy:-
"James BRENAN
"You shall immediately resign the farm of Ballyntarsnah Or it will be the
mains of Burning Your House and place unto ashes and you deceiver of man
Kind will be Shot without mercy So Now loose no time or Blame Yourself."
BELFAST, Aug 22,- On Wednesday, the 20th instant, five cows and two horses,
the property of John KYLE, a tenant on the estate of Hugh KENNEDY, Esq in
the town land of Carroreagh, on the mail coach road from Belfast to
Newtownards, were maliciously houghed.

On Friday, the 15th instant, the Tenants of Lord Mandeville entertained him
at dinner in Tandregee, on the occasion of his first visit to his estates in
Ireland. The company, which was numerous and respectable, was received by
the excellent band of the 31st Regiment, who played some choice pieces of
Music in a very superior manner. The party sat down about six o'clock, at
two tables, covered with every delicacy of the season, and with a profusion
of the choicest wines. The Rev. Leslie CREERY presided at one- Dr. KIDD at
the other. On the right of Mr. CREERY sat Lord Mandeville- on the left the
Earl of Gosford.

CORK, Aug 21- The City Assizes terminated on Tuesday evening, and yesterday
morning Barron PENNEFATHER left town, escorted by a troop of the Lancers and
some of the mounted Police, and accompanied by the City Sheriffs. Before his
Lordship left the lodgings, he was addressed by Sheriff SAUNDERS, who, after
some appropriate introductory observations, said, on his own and his brother
Sheriff's behalf that they were extremely happy that the occasion offered
during this year of office, of presenting his Lordship with a pair of
gloves, indicative of the City Assizes having proved maiden.

At Cork Assizes on Friday, William ALLEN, Esq. an active Justice of the
Counties Cork, Limerick and Kerry, brought an action against John MINTON,
Esq. for calling him to Mr. CROSSLEY, "an infamous scoundrel, and a most
corrupt Magistrate."- Verdict for Plaintiff £100 Damages and Costs.

CLONMEL, August 20- On the night of Thursday last, an armed Rockite party of
about six broke into the house of John SCULLY, a respectable farmer,
residing on the land of Peahill, within three miles of Caher, and on the
road to Mitchelstown. Having come in, they asked him why he dared to keep
his nephew (also named John SCULLY) in their house, contrary to their known
regulations, as he had been brought from Gurteeshal, about five miles
distant- which they would not suffer; they then dragged the young man (John
SCULLY, the nephew) out into the yard, where they knocked him down with a
blunderbuss, repeatedly struck him with their arms, and wounded him
severely. They then returned into the house, and searched for his Uncle's
Sister-in-law, who had lived with John SCULLY, as housekeeper for some
years, and gave preemptory orders that she also should leave the place, as
well as John SCULLY, the nephew, on pain of another visit.
