Police Investigation at Shinrone.--This investigation was held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last, in Shinrone, before Mr. Martley, Q.C. The charges were confined to two of the constabulary, and were stated to be, that these policemen were concoctors of certain plans to inveigle persons into giving evidence against others, innocent of the offence imputed to them, in order to obtain pecuniary rewards for efficiency and activity, and to exhibit their zeal as constables of police, for the purpose of obtaining preferment in the constabulary.--Nenagh Guardian.

A Deputation, consisting of the Rev. Doctor Stewart, Moderator of the General Assembly, John Boyd, Esq., M.P., the Rev. Doctor Cooke, the Rev. Doctor Brown, and the Reverend H.

==================

Outrage.--On the night of Sunday, the 28th ult., an armed party entered the house of a man named Taylor, who resides near Mohill, and beat him and his wife in an unmerciful and savage manner. Taylor bears a most excellent character, and the only reason which can be assigned for his receiving this inhuman treatment is, that he has been put in possession of a waste farm which was formerly held by the late B. Norris, Esq.
