potatoes in the ne.ghbourl.ood, and natires of Clar. 

 came up when they were directed by the murderers to 

 keep back which they d,d for some distance, until they 

 saw hem leave the body and go through the field,. A 

 number of processes were found in Shanahao's h%t, 

 which shows it was not through their means he w; 

 murdered, but he took an acre of land in the year 1841, 

 from which another person had been ejected. The 

 police, on hearing of the occurrence, proceeded to Sha- 

 nahan s house, and searched several suspected places, but 

 were not able to discover any clue to the murderers.— 

 Another murder was perpetrated on Friday night at 

 Lattera, in the Borrisoleigh district, not far from the 

 place where Shanahan was waylaid. Six fellows en- 

 tered the house of a person named Gleeson, on that 

 night. One of the ruffians was armed with a pistol— the 

 others with sticks or bludgeons. They beat Gleeson so 



dreadfully that he expired on Saturday evening. This 

 murder is said to have originated in a private quarrel

described by any of Gleeson's family. An inquest was 

 held on Sunday, when a verdict of " wilful murder against 

 Mme ptraODI unknown," was returned. Gleeson held I 

 ;w acres of land on the estate of the Earl of Orkney in 

 whose employment he had been, as a labourer, for the 

 last six or eight months, and was a person of very good 

 character. A reward has been offered by the landlord 

 and tenantry on the estate for such information as may 

 lead to the discovery of the murderers. 



SCOTLAND. 



Edinburgh.— On Saturday last the topmost stone of 

 the Scott monument was phced on that structure, which 

 now exhibits its full proportions, and all the richness of 

 its light and e: it Gothic tracery. The ceremony was 



performed by Mr. Donaldson, Grand Master of the 



Celtic Lodge, who had promised the late architect of 

 the structure to perform this duty. Several other mem- 

 bers of the Celtic Lodge were present, and the act of 

 placing the stone was celebrated by three cheers from 

 all who Witnessed it. I„ the course of the afternoon. 

 a number of the committee and other citizens ascended 

 to the summit, being hoisted up through the main 

 scaffolding by means of the steam-engine. Not a single Mr 

 accident has occurred during the progress of the work. 

 The gigantic block of marble for the statue v. as un- 

 shipped on Monday at Leith, and is to be deposited in 

 Mr. Steele s studio. The execution of the statue will 

 occupy at least two years. 



Kilmarnock.- A double suicide has been perpetrated in 

 this town by a lady and gentleman unknown. They had 

 been staying at the inn for some days, and were perfect 

 strangers to the place, passing as man and wife. On 

 Weaoeeday they paid their bill at the inn, and after dinner 

 told the landlady about 5 o'clock, they were going out to 

 walk, and would probably be late in returning, as thev 

 wished to view some of the scenery of the neighbourhood 

 by moonlight. They never returned-this intimation 

 having beer, evidently a part of the singularly deliberate 

 preparations they made for the act of self-destruction they 

 had resolved to perpetrate. On the next dav their hn*d
