that he % the man who was the prime instiga- tor of the recent outrages, and he is certainly an important Fenian leader. fe has been identified as the head of the party who attacked the Martello Tower, near Queenstown, and the police have evidence to show that he was the leader of the intended raid on Macroom Castle, which design was frustrated. McKay has brought about astate of feeling among the dangerous classes which has led to disastrous results, On the 10th, the city ot Cork was in a state of tumult, and the Pelice were obliged to charge on a mob which huoted and pelted them with missiles of various descrip- tions.
