On Wednesday, the 22d instant, an important and influential meeting was held in the Court-house of Charlemont, pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of adopting measures to bring before the Grand Jury of the county of Armagh the necessity of forming a new line of road from Charlemont to Kineary--a line which would tend not only to the prevention of loss of life, by obviating the present dangerous path, but open an insulated district of country, filled with a dense population, and remarkable for its feritility and manufacturing capabilities. Among the gentlemen present were Colonel Verner, M.P., the Rev. John Leech, Incumbent of Moy, the Rev. M. Coyne, P.P. of Clonfeale, Wm. Byers, Galbraith Johnston, J. Ashmur Lawson, Thomas Nepean Molesworth, Thomas Dawson, and Thomas Francis Hawkins, Esq. Messrs. David Barry, Wm. Smart, Robt Corrigan, O. M'Anespy, J. Moreland, R. Moore, &c. On the motion of the Rev. John Leech, seconded by G. Johnston, Esq., William Byers, Esq., late Portrieve of Charlemont, was called to the chair, and Mr. J. W. Hanna requested to act as Secretary. The Rev. W. Leech, in proposing the first resolution, adverted in eloquent language to the awful sacrifice of life occasioned by the present dangerous pathway from Charlemont to Kineary, averaging one death every year, and two during each of the last two years, and that such a mortlity was deeply to be deplored by every human mind. To see men hurried out of life, perhaps unprepared, was truly awful; families suddenly deprived of their only support, and parents bereaved of their beloved children, rendered it the imperative duty of the public to adopt some measure to prevent so fatal a recurrence as the death of Mullan, who had so lately perished--another victim travelling this path. It could not be expected but that persons fatigued with the toils of work, would rather hazard this perilous path, than travel the circuitous road by the Callan bridge; he therefore thought it was only necessary to mention these circumstances in order to enlist the sympathies and charities of the Grand Jury in their support. J. Ashmur Lawson, Esq., seconded the resolution in a few but appropriate observations. The second resolution was proposed by the Rev. Mr. Coyne, who dwelt at great length on the necessity of forming a new road to Kineary, and stated that six townlands, having an area of 2312A. 1R. 2P., and containing a population of 2063 persons in the barony of O'Neiland West, were attached to the parish of Clonfeale, the members of the Church of England and Roman Catholic Church, residing in which district, were obliged to attend their respective places of worship in Moy, from which they were separated by the rivers Blackwater and Callan; and that although the pathway through Charlemont bog was not more than half a mile, the high road to the nearest portion of that district was three miles round, and part five miles; the consequence was, these poor people were in a great manner deprived of religious worship, unless by running the fearful risk of travelling a dangerous path, the perils of which had been so well described by Mr. Leech. He concluded by saying, that the formation of a new line would not only tend to the security of life, but also conduce to the progress of religion and morals, by enabling the people to attend their religious worship. The resolution was seconded by T. Nepean Molesworth, Esq. Galbraith Johnston, Esq., proposed the third resolution, nominating a Deputation to prepare and present a memorial to the Grand Jury of Armagh on the subject, which resolution was seconded by Thomas Dawson, Esq. The next resolution was proposed by Mr. R. Corrigan, and seconded by T. Francis Hawkins, Esq. A long and animated conversation then arose between Col. Verner, Messrs. Leech, Coyne, Johnston, and D. Barry (the latter of whom supported the projected line in an able speech,) as to the expense and practicability of the road, and the possibility of so diverging the contemplated line from Portadown, to embrace the object of the meeting, at the conclusion of which The Rev. Mr. Leech proposed the thanks of the meeting to Colonel Verner, for his attendance and judicious advice, which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Coyne, and carried with enthusiasm. Mr. Byers was then moved from the chair, and Mr. Robert Corrigan of Moss Spring called thereto; and on the motion of Colonel Verner, seconded by Mr. David Barry, the unanimous thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Byers for his dignified conduct as chairman. We are authorised to state that W. M'GEOGH BOND, Esq., of the Argory, who was unable to attend the meeting, has expressed his hearty approval of the intended line, considering it would be a general benefit to the country. =============== THE MAGISTRACY. WALTER HORE, Esq., has been appointed to the Commission of the Peace for the county of Tyrone, at the recommendation of the Earl of CHARLEMONT. Thomas BAILEY, Esq., of Mulladuff, Newtownbutler, county Fermanagh, has been appointed a resident magistrate. GEORGE WILLIS, Esq., of Moonian, Florencecourt, has been appointed High Constable for the Barony of Glenawly, County Fermanagh, in room of Mr. Richard Brackin deceased. =============== DEATH BY FIRE.--On Sunday last a melancholy death occurred in the townland of Craddean, within two miles of Enniskillen. A poor woman named SHEAHAN went to mass on the above day, leaving at home a child about five years old, and on her return she found it burned almost to ashes ; nothing remaining of the poor child only one leg and an arm. The child was left sitting at a few coals where it is supposed its clothes took fire. On the following day HUGH CULLUM Esq., Coroner, held an inquest, and a verdict of "accidental death" was returned. =============== RACES.

This appointment reflects great credit on Dr. LESLIE, who is also physician to the Armagh Union, and eminently qualified for such situations, by his urbanity of manner and professional skill. =============== BALLYPOREEN PETIT SESSIONS. IMPORTANT DECISION--SNIPE NOT GAME. Before Major Beresford, W. Shaw, and Wm. Knaresborough, Esqrs., Resident Magistrates. Captain Isaac R. Warner and Lieutenant Edward Bagwell, officers of her Majesty's 3d Dragoon Guards, stationed at Clogheen Barracks, were summoned to answer the complaint of the Earl of Mountcashel, for "that they, on the 30th day of November last past, at Kilcarroon, in the county Tipperary, being then and there officers in her Majesty's service, did take and kill certain game, to wit snipe, without any leave in writing for so doing, had or obtained, from the person entitled to grant such leave, contrary to the provisions of the act 7 and 8 Vic., c. 9., sec. 49." Mr. Paye, of Mitchelstown, solicitor, appeared on the part of his lordship to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Barry, of Clogheen, defended the officers. After the case had been gone into and proved, Mr. Barry produced to the court the opinions of Professor Butt and Mr. Pennefather, that snipe were not game. Mr. Knaresborough--The judgment of the Court is postponed until next petty sessions--meanwhile I will forward Mr. Barry's several objections for the consideration of the law officers of the crown.
