SEIZURE FOR RENT—FATAL CONFLICT. The Limerick Examiner of Saturday contains the folIowiop' Wehftve received au; bent-Ïe information that a man and woman were shot yes'erday by an armed party at Oarrig-o-G'mnell, within five mile of this city. The man was placed as keeper over some property which was distrained. Probably the woman, who was with him, was his wife. Since ihe above was in type we have learned that the land on vvnicii the unfortunate people met their deaths belonged to Air. i-Iuni. and is situated at Oragbeg,. near Cairlg-o-Gunnell. Uc cut u w, it appears, attempted on the part of the persons whose property was seized. The keepers were bringing the cattle into, town on this morning for the purpose of h selling them by auction, when a conflict ensued between the keepers and the owners, in wnien one keeper was shot and another man wounded—not a woman. as we heard at iir.st." CLONMEL, SATURDAY EVENING.—The Clonmel Chronicle, in a second edition published this afternoon, says—" The general belief to-day is, that the rebel camps are breaking up for the present by the orders of O'Mahony, but that the insurgents have been instructed to hold themselves ready to re-assemble at a moment's notice, whenever he may choose to call them together. From what we have learned within 'the past day or two, we think it not at all improbable that the design is to engage the co-operation of the peasantry about Fethard, Thurles, &c., who, strange to say, have gene- rally refrained from joining in the rebellion up to the pre- sent. Doheny has been again lost sight of on the moun- tains in. the direction of Dungarvan the general impression among the people is that he made his escape, a rebel leader having passed that way a few days ago, as it to sail from I) ungarv&ti; but from the description given by a man who caw hiru, and was speaking to him, we think that the per- son was not Doheny. No doubt he will be heard of before Ion?

INQUEST ON ONE OF THE INSURGENTS SHOT AT GLENBOWER. CAURTCK-OX-SUIR, SEPT. 14.—The coroner (Mr. Chaytor) arrived at half-past eleven o'clock, for the purpose of hold- ing an inquest on the body of Patrick Keating, who was shot at the attack on the Glenbower constabulary station, on the evening of Tuesday, the 12th of September. The jury unanimously found the following verdict :I That the de- ceased, Patrick Keating, came by his death by a gun-shot wound, inflicted by the police, at Glenbower, in the county of Tipperary, on Tuesday, evening, the 12th of September, 1848, when defending their barrack, and arms." DUBLIN, SEPT. 18.-Tiie train passengers, which arrived this morning at King's Bridge, with the Cork, Kilkenny, ,73 13 atid Limerick mails, report everything quiet in the districts represented in a state of insurrection. The Post-office and railway guards assert that everything was perfectly tranquil as they came along, even rumour had ceased to be busy, and at the various stations along the line the report was, that no such thing as armed demollstral ions existed, and that the alleged meetings of the peasantry in the mountains had not taken place. A correspondent of the Southern Reporter says—I must express my opinion that although the move- ment has been put down for the present has not been ex- tinguished. On the contrary, I feel assured that these dis- turbances will be repeated again and again (even should the loss of life amongst the people be much more serious than it has been on this occasion), so long as the prospects of the -country remain ia their present deplorable condition. The inhabitants of this district, which includes a circle round Carrick of about twenty miles diameter, in the counties of Tipperary, Waterford, and Kilkenny, are becoming every 'day more reckless, as the fear of famine grows stronger. Should their fears be realised, and no adequate relief be afforded, and should the landlords persist in that oppressive and tyrannical conduct which many of them seem to have adopted," though any large organization or extensive movement may be prevented by the presence of an over- whelming body of troops, the result will inevitably be the .establishment of a system of agrarian outrage in this neigh- bourhood, which will far outvie the unenviable notoriety that has, within the last few years, been obtained by North Tipperary.

From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet birds every one, "When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder., I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast. Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning, my pilot, sits; In a cavern under is fettered the thunder- It struggles and howls at fits Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding nic, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea; Over the rills, and the crags, and the hills, Over the lakes and plains, Wherever he dream, under mountain or stream, The spirit he loves remains; And I all the while bask in heaven's blue smile, Whilst lie is dissolving in rains. The sanguine sunrise, with his meteor eyes, And his burning phunas outspread, Leaps on the back of my sailing rack, When the morning scar shines dead.

gtgrictilture. (From the Agricultural Gazette.) Correspondents have inquired of us the merits of the winter bean as a crop for general cultivation. The chief advantages it possesses over the common spring varieties is its early harvest, which brings it to a forward state of matu- rity before the Aphis blight can attack it. The season of 1847, which was generally fatal to the bean crop, scarcely injured thai: which had been autumn sown. The winter bean, like other plants, is however liable to the attacks of the mildew: and many crops of it have this year suffered in this way. The early period at which the crop is harvested enables the preparation of the stubble in time for a crop of the stone" or six weeks" turnip, or, what is perhaps more suitable, of a crop of rape: and considering the difficulty of harvesting one crop from the midst of another among which it had been grown, we prefer this method of double crop- ping, under ordinary farm management, to that which con- sists in the growth of alternate rows at the same time. The following are the details of a good method to cultivate the winter bean. A wheat or oat stubble is to be scarified or grubbed and cleaned then manured broadcast, ploughed, harrowed, and left till October, towards the end of which it may be ribbed or bouted up," leaving drills at intervals of two feet; and in them six or seven pecks per acre are to be sown and covered by a double turn of the common harrows. Water furrows are then to be made through the field so as to 11 hinder water from stagnating on the surface during winter; and in the early months of Spring the horse and hand-hoe must be employed to keep down the weeds as long as the distance between the rows suffers their growth. The plants will, however, soon nearly meet overhead, and are then to be left till harvest, which will generally occur in July. The produce is rarely so large as that of other sorts, but It is earlier, and leaves the ground ready sooner for a fallow or a fallow crop during the autumn. KITCHEN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.—Follow UP the plan of promptly ^clearing away the remains of crops as they successively decay. A proportionate reserve of land must be held for forward peas and early spring cropping generally. Those quarters which require trenching the ensuing autumn should be kept free after this time in the year of any further crop, that an opportunity may be offered of getting the operation perfoimcd before the arrival of winter. The July sowing of endive may now be pricked out on a wann border, and as the early plantation attains :,1, proper size the plants should be tied for blanching. The weather now offers a favourable opportunity for carrying-on the war of extermina- tion; against the weeds; the ground also is in good condition for earthing celery, the perfection of which depends a good deal on the care bestowed on this operation, and its timely performance. Winter spinach and turnip beds must be kept hoed and thinned, the first to nine inches or there- abouts. Orehard.-It will be an advantage to have the fruit tree borders free and unshaded by any crop at this season; the effect of planting endive, turnips, and such things, is to keep the border cold and wet, when in fact warmth and air are more particularly required. We should be well satisfied to see the width of borders reduced, could even a more limited space be secured exclusively to the wall trees. If no store of material (sods of sandy loam are good for the purpose) is in hand. no further delay should take place in collecting a silfficient quantity for carrying out any pro- 0 posed renovations. .'COTTAGERS' GARDENS.—There are few operations that belter repay the trouble of performance, if properly carried out, than trenching. A portion of the garden should be selected caeli season, say one-fourth of the whole, and pro- perly trenched, three feet in depth; in four years the entire garden im<y successively receive the same attention. As soon as the onion crop is considered ripe, pull up and expose the bulbs, turning them twice a day; for keeping small quantities the best plan is to rope them. Give attention to turnip beds no cottager should be without a little store: of celery thin winter spinach; prick out lettuce; gather and cook large seed pods of runners—the bean itself is better than the she! — Cardener's Chronicle. POTATOES;—The Ilev.-Mr. Carl yon has published a letter ill the Cornwall Gazette, from which the following are extractsIn the first, place I have ascertained, by extensive inquirywell as personal examination, that the tubers decay: more or less readily, when allowed to remain Hl (110 "Toupd according to u•iiULin.u ui inun v..„—. for instance, it be more or less dry), and according to their depth in the earth; since the nearer they are to the surface, and the mofe closely they adhere to the stalks, the more readily do they appear to decay. Whilst, therefore, there is undoubted danger in allowing the tubers to remain under- ground, there is great reason to believe that 't I i ey may be so stored as not only to preserve such as are sound, but to arrest the progress of the mischief in such as are already tainted. According to the Ituilnndihire plan, the potatoes are first washed, ihen dried, and stored in an outhouse, with levers of dry straw between each layer of potatoes. The washing,. whLh I at first likewise recommended, I now think unne- cessary; but I ad vise the best tubers to be selected, ana, when dry, deposited ou straw, over which fresh slaked time, mixed with an equal quantity of dry earth, has been strewn. Ltiyor upon layer of potatoes, to the depth of ten or twelve inches; having the lime and earth well mixed among them, may thus he stored in safety; only I recommend, for greater security, thai the heaps, after a few weeks, be turned over and reconstructed with a renewed supply of time and earth. In this way we proceeded last year .with a portion oi our pot a iocs, A; he labour was trilling; and the potatoes remained sound to the last, it is proper, however, to add that the lime appeared to impair the culinary quality of the potatoes, so as to l make .them less palatable; and for this reason T shall only sioro such potatoes in lime and earl h as are intended for pigs and poultry. Particularly as it was ("uncI thai potatoes might lie equally well saved by sioring them in the ashes procured from the burning of charcoal, of which we hare both last year and this been able to get an abundan t, supply from coppice woods in our neighbourhood.' All that we stored h1 this way last year remained sound and. unim- paired in quality, and where these ashes can be procured, I strong] y recommend their use. According to ..10 Itutland- shire n'an. the potatoes are cleared of any adheceni- impurity by was'iing, then so stored as to be kept dry, and from the immediate-'contact of the different- layers, by interposing layers of straw, 1 have gone a step farther, and have added either lime or the ashes above described, with a view to the antiseptic tendency of such addition; care in all cases beiug taken 'to keep one layer of potatoes from coming in contact with another, whether by layers or straw, or by lime or ashes."

REMEDY ROU CUOLEUA.—The following valuable prescription for the effective cure of cholera has been received from J. Booker, Esq., Vico-Consul at Ci-onstadi, Russia :—" The prin- cipal point is to attack the disease the instant it is suspected take a stimulating dram, with peppermint, and a few drops of hudanuiU; cover yourself up as warm as possible, to promote perspiration, apply hot substances, such as water, bran, salt, and even sand to the limbs, and put a mustard poultice over the whale stomach. As soon as perspiration breaks out, and the beating of the pUise is restored, the complaint may be looked upon as conquered; if it is neglected till its last stage, recovery cannot be expected." By strictly attending to the •above simple mearis, Mr, Booker says that no person need fear fatal consequences.

THE INDELIBILITY OF HOLY ORDERS. IF the advocate-general be a sound expositor of our eccle- siastical law, it behoves every man who meditates taking orders in the Anglican church to consider whether a change of his opinions be within the range of probability. Should he feel any doubt on this question, he will do well to pauge- upon the bishop's threshold, even as a wise rat would ponder his ways when seduced to the verge of a trap. After he is fairly in, the chances of getting out again appear to be wo- fully small. Once ordained by the bishop, a parson he is, and a parson he must continue to be, even though he may come to think modern episcopacy mere priestly pomp, and the thirty-nine articles a marvellous jumble of inconsisten- cies. The Globe newspaper states that the following opinion on the indelibility of holy orders'teis been recently given by the Advocate-General, Sir John Dodson, in reference to the case of Mr. Shore:—" 1. I am of opinion that, a priest in. holy orders of the Church of England, althcmflifestyling him- self a seceder from that church, and being^Hnct, a volun- tary seceder therefrom, may be committed to for con- tempt of court, in preaching as a Dissenting mutister, con- trary to the lawful monition of the court. 2. It is quite ob- vious that neither deposition from holy orders, degradation, or excommunication, can confer on a clergyman a legal right to officiate or preach as a Dissenting minister. 3. I think that if. the bishop were to degrade and depose a clergyman from holy orders, he might be liable to the penalties imposed by the statute 41 George III., c. Ixiii., if he attempted to sit in the Commons House of Parliament. 4. I am of opinion that excommunication would not entircly release a clergy- man from his priestly character so as to give him the status ofp layman.—Doctors' Commons, Aug. 24, 1848." Truly here is a pretty predicament for a conscientious man, whose convictions make him a Dissenter, after he has had the misfortune to receive a certificate of apostleship at the hands of an Anglican bishop. Our prelates are pleased to count themselves authentic successors of those twelve perse- cuted men, some of whom are committed to prison and to death I- far the testimony of Jesus," but none of whom ever dreamt of assuming- similar powers towards their opponents, by virtue of their holy office. Their self-styled successors, however, "have not so learned Christ." The Court, Chris- tian, as our ecelesitslical tribunal is whimsically termed-- tucus a non lucendo—is in effect the carnal weapon specially fitted to the hand uf the spiritual ruler. The bishop appeals to the court, and the court faithfully responds to the bishop, by taking up its huge black dungeon keys, and offering to lock up the bishop's dearly beloved in Christ," in any one of her Majesty's gaols. And how runs the indictment ? Forasmuch as he has presumed to preach righteousness, and the way of salvailon, I-' contrary to the lawful monition of that court." Be it remembered that this lawful monition" is issued at the suit of the bishop, v/ho. has, in fact, the whole merit of monition, thrusting into prison, and gag-gino- the preacher, concentrated in his own right reverend persgn-a queer inscription, by the bye, might be made out of those materials to adorn the Exeter mitre, not very like "Holi- ness to the Lord." It further appears, that episcopal excommunication, with all its thunders, is a mere popgun when levelled against holy orders." They are absolutely excommunication proof —all the bishops in her Majesty's dominions could not blow them up. In other words, a presbyter of the Church of England who may wish, under any circumstances, to resume his primitive condition as a layman, finds himself so perma- nently encrusted in the clerical deposit of his ordination ser- vice, that, a toad in o Id otic of marble is simply a type of him—nothing less irresistible than the sledge hammer of public opinion can set him at liberty. Whilst ecclesiastical law is what Sir John Dodson asserts, it to be, it were a work of Christian charity to placard th< walls of every episcopal palace with BEWARE OF lIOIY OltDEIZS. CAVENDUS.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—THREE LIVES LOST. GLOUCESTER, SATTIIXOA? AFTEHNOOX.—A most melaii- eholy catastrophe happened yesterday afternoon on the Great Western railway, near the Hathcrley Bridge, between this city and Cheltenham. This portion of the iine is use in common by the Great Western broad gauge and the Mid- land narrow gauge companies, a line of four feet nine-uifc.; the afternoon, a o.* men ill the employ of Mr. Blink- horn, contractor, were engaged in removing old and laying down new ballast; and in consequence of ihe almost constant traffic of the two companies passing over this particular parr of the line, Ihe work is liable to frequent interruption, ami a vigilant look-out is necessary for the safety of those en- gaged in ballasting. Accordingly, the contractor has em- ployed a lad to attend to this important dm3-, and to ring a loud-sounding bell on the approach 01 a train. About four o'clock a train of about sixty tuggage-trucks on the narrow gauge line passed, by. The bell was sounded as usual, and five of the men thoughtlessly stood upon the down line, counting the trucks as" they passed. Whilst they were so engaged, the Great Western train, which left Paddington at twelve o'clock, appeared in sight. The boy rang the bell; and the driver of the engine, Firefly, sounded the steam whistle but the poor 'fellows sccJUëd not to hear it, or they made 'not the least attempt to move off the line. The driver of the engine, perceiving the terrible fate that awaited them, endeavoured to shut off the steam, and re- verse the action of the engine. All, however, had but little effect in thwarting the shocking accident that ensued. The Firefly reached the fix-e. i-ilifoi-ttiiiatc, men, and in an instant they were struck to the ground. On the passing of the train a melancholy catastrophe presented itself. The re- mains of three of the pour fellows were, stretched on the permanent way shockingly mutilated. Their names are Joel Witts, John Newman, and Henry Paul, whose deaths were instantaneous. The other two men, James Wilkes and Joseph Ford, were discovered to be alive. Mr. Ashbee, the superintendent of the Cheltenham station, and Dr. Brooks" of the same town, were quickly dispatched by a pilot-engine to the scene, and the survivors with every care were con veycd. to the Cheltenham Hospital. There it was ascertained that Wilkes has sustained a compound fracture of the arm and leg; Ford, a fracture of the thigh and arm. Eventually, however, Ford's thigh was amputated, so se- verely was it shattered. The remains of those who were killed were removed to Cheltenham. The five poor fellows were married. Witts and Newman have left as many as eight children each. The survivors remain in a bad way. Wilkes says that they were so engaged in noticing the lug- gage trucks that they altogether forgot the approach of the Great Western train.

enant-Colonel Wood. Captain Roberts, Assistant Inspector A General of Constabulary, has also, arrived here to take command of the police force of the district. The battalion of the 60h Rifles, which arrived from Dublin by the late train of yesterday evening, are still encamped in the barrack square here. The head-quarters of the 83rd regiment proceeded from CalIan this morning to Fechard, en route for Fermoy. Two companies of the 75th, which have been for some time encamped at. Callan, also left that town this morning, and had marched within two ihiles of Kilkenny, intending; to join head-quarters, when they received a dispatch from General M'Donatd; ordering- them to remain in their former position. They accordingly returned to Callan, and again pitched their tents there. Orders were received by the commanding officer of the 83rd, to leave 200 of his men HI Fethard for.the present. It is asserted here that a farmer, residingin the neighbourhood of Bawnconnell, and obnoxious to the peasantry, was this morn- ing shot by some of tle I)e'ol)le. This is stated on authority to which, under ordinary circumstances, credence would be fully due.
