DARING ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION. -- On Wednesday morning, another of those desperate attempts at assassination, which are the worst opprobrium of Ireland, took place near Athboy, the intended victim miraculously escaping. As Richard Dyas, Esq., of Heathstown, near Athboy, was proceeding on his car to the fair of Carlanstown, at six o'clock in the morning, accompanied by his son and servant, he was deliberately fired at, on the road near Killua Castle, and about a mile and a-half from his own residence. The horse was shot dead, ten slugs having entered the animal's kidney, and four or five having lodged in the shafts of the vehicle; but, by the interposition of a watchful Providence, neither Mr. Dyas, his son, nor his servant, was injured. It was about six o'clock, A.M., when the murder was attempted; and it was clear, from the appearance of the hedge, that the assassin had long lain in wait for his intended victim. Mr. Dyas, who was armed, and his companions, sprang from the car immediately on the shot being fired, and rushed to the spot where the murderer had stood; but, owing to the darkness, he succeeded in escaping. -- Dublin Evening Packet.
=========================
A GOOD EXAMPLE. -- A gentleman has mentioned to us, that, in the townland of Edenballycoghill, near Waringstown, there is not a landholder or member of his family who smokes. After stating this, it is almost superfluous to add, that the inhabitants are remarkable for cleanliness in their houses and persons, and are very orderly and industrious.
=========================
DOING A THIEF. -- On Thursday last, a fellow, named Francis Maginn, abstracted a web of linen from off the premises of Mr. William Murray, Tegnavin, near Lurgan. Having secured his booty, he proceeded with it to the shop of Mr. John Gilbert, Lurgan, who, being a manufacturer, he thought would purchase it. In this he was not mistaken: a bargain was soon made, and the web disposed of, at four pence per yard (it was worth fourteen pence per yard); however, when the cash was paid down, the thief found himself over-matched by Mr. Gilbert, who forthwith had him given into custody; and, inquiry having been made, the owner of the web was speedily found, and it was identified. The thief has since been committed for trial.
=========================
A HORSE IN CHINA SHOP. -- A few evenings since, a horse took fright, in Lurgan, in rather an unceremonious manner; he thrust his head and body through the window of Mr. Falloon's china shop. Considerable damage was done, for which the owner of the animal paid.
=========================
LURGAN MARKET. -- For the better regulation of this market, the committee who conduct its management have Caused a survey of the town to be made, with a view to having a map drawn, on a large scale, on which places will be apportioned for the several articles offered for sale. The portions thus indicated on the map will be marked on the street by a line of paving stones; and any person, after due notice, found vending articles out of the place allotted, will be prosecuted. Mr. William Sear, of Lurgan, is entrusted with the survey.
=========================
THE SHIP "CHARLOTTE." -- We have much pleasure in announcing the safety of the captain and remainder of the crew of the Charlotte (the property of our townsman, Mr. John Dunn), which, as stated some days since in our columns, was abandoned, on the 24th September, in lat. 30 30 N., and long. 27 50 W., while in a sinking condition. The men took refuge in two boats; one party -- the mate and six of the crew -- was picked up shortly afterwards, and carried to Boston. Five days after leaving the wreck, on the 29th September, Captain Robert M'Vane, with the remainder of the crew, was picked up by the Harmony, of St. John's, bound for Norfolk, Virginia, where, we are gratified to state, they arrived safe. Considerable apprehension was felt for the sufferers, many of whom, including the captain, are from Belfast and its neighbourhood.
=========================
SUPPOSED INFANTSIDES. -- On Wednesday, Bernard Ward, Esq., Coroner of the County Down, held inquests, at Ballymacarrett, on the bodies of two infants, one of which had been discovered, in the early part of last week, in a manure heap, and the other, a few days since, on the shore nailed up in a small wooden box. In the first case, a young woman hitherto of irreproachable character was apprehended on suspicion of having given birth to the child, and made away with it, in order to conceal her shame. On the occasion of a previous inquiry before the coroner, an adjournment was ordered, in consequence of the absence from home of Dr. Murphy, who, it was understood, was a material witness. The young woman was again brought up in custody on Wednesday, and Dr. Murphy, in his evidence, stated that he had examined her, and was satisfied that she had given birth to an infant, though at what period he was unable to determine. -- No other evidence having been produced to identify the girl with the infanticide, the jury returned an open verdict, and the prisoner was discharged. In the second case, it appeared that, on Wednesday last, a poor man, seeing what he conceived to be a log of wood on the shore, and believing that it had been thrown up by the tide, was about to bring it home for firewood when he found it was a box. A remarkable smell exaled from it, and, after several attempts, he succeeded in breaking it open, when, to his horror, he beheld the body of an infant. It was the opinion of the medical gentleman that the infant had been born alive; that its death resulted from violence shortly after its birth; and that it had not been long exposed in the box in which it was found. No other evidence appearing to throw a light on the mystery, the jury returned a verdict of "Found dead."

INQUEST. -- On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Killagan, near Ballymoney, before John Jellett, Esq., coroner, on the body of a man supposed to be Thomas Quinn, from the city of Armagh, who had been acting as a travelling book agent. He was found lying dead on the ground, a few minutes after he had left a neighbouring house. Verdict -- "Died by the visitation of God." It came out in evidence that the deceased sometimes went by the name of Wilson. Some cash was found on his person, which, together with books, &c. got in his lodgings were put in safe-keeping, by the coroner, for his friends.
