THE OUTRAGE AT ARDOYNE. - Mrs. RAVELL, who was wounded by a shot fired
through the window at Ardoyne, a few weeks since, is in a state of
convalescene [sic].

A YOUTHFUL INCENDIARY. - A young boy, about eleven years of age, was
committed to the county gaol on Thursday last, for setting fire to the house
belonging to John M'CABE at Old Deighlin, on the 6th inst.

MORE OUTRAGES. - Twelve houses at Stradbally were burned down on Wednesday
by incendiaries. The extensive mills at Colloony, occupied by Richard
MANGAN, Esq., were destroyed by fire on Saturday night last.

FATHER MATTHEW. - The Apostle of Temperance has returned to Cork, from
Castlecomer, were [sic] he preached and administered the total abstinance
[sic] pledge to 12,000 persons. Amongst the number was the lady of Col.
BRYAN of Jenningstown, sister to the Countess SHREWSBERY [sic].

MUNSTER IN A BLAZE. - The surrounding country was illuminated on Wednesday
night, for the supposed triumph of Mr. O'CONNELL over the Attorney-General,
in the Queen's Bench. The signal fire blazed upon Carrigogunnell Castle, at
the Limerick side of the Shannon, and was soon reflected from the county
Clare side of the river, whence it ran into the interior. - Limerick
Chronicle.

THE LAND COMMISSION. - The commissioners have requested information as to
the number of estates in Ireland over which receivers have been appointed,
the amount of rents for which such estates are liable, and a statement of
the arrears due by the tenantry, with such other particualrs of their
general condition as may help to elucidate the enquiry now in progress. It
is roughly calculated that there is about 1,800 properties in this country
placed in the present predicament of being under the guardianship of
receivers.

COLERAINE, MAY 3. - About ten o'clock last night, some evil disposed persons
built, across the road to Ballymoney, a barricade, of two to three feet
high, of large stones, entirely across the road, about forty perches from
the end of this town - some of the stones were two cwt. This was evidently
done with the intention of upsetting the mail for Belfast. There must have
been a great many hands employed at the work, as it was done in less than
thirty minutes. Very fortunately, the circumstance was communicated to Mr.
FERGUSON before the coach came up; and he had the stones taken from the
middle of the road, leaving room for the mail to pass. There was an
investigation into the matter to-day, but nothing transpired to bring guilt
home to any person. A reward will be offered for the apprehension of the
offenders.
