OUTRAGE IN DUNGANNON.--In consequence of private information received by first head constable Graham, stationed at Dungannon, relative to the robbery of arms at Mullaghbawn, on the 28th October last, he, on the night of the 8th inst., proceeded with constable Corr, and a large force of the constabulary, to several townlands in the Benburb district, where he arrested ten persons on suspicion of having been concerned in that outrage, marched them into the Dungannon bridewell the following morning, and on Monday one of them, named David Strain, was identified and fully committed for trial at next assizes, for the offence, by R. D. Coulson and Thomas Eyre, Esqrs. We understand that this is the fourth discovery of the perpetrators of serious outrages by Mr. Graham, since he joined the Dungannon district in 1844. A second man, named Eakin, has been held to bail, for further examination--he volunteered to stand alongside his brother, who was one of those arrested, in order to puzzle the witnesses who were to identify, when he was picked out, in place of the latter, to whom he bears a strong resemblance.-- Tyrone Constitution.

About midnight, on Saturday, the 8th instant, a party of twenty men, attacked the house of a publican, named Terence Rocks, of Killyman, broke in his windows, and forced an entrance into the house which they searched, and assaulting himself, carried away a bayonet belonging to him.--Ibid.

(4) SUNDAY-SCHOOL SOIREE.--On Monday evening the Rev. Wm. Quain, Rector, gave an evening party in the savings bank, to the children who attend the Dungannon Church Sunday-School. Several of his most respectable pa- rishioners were present on the occasion.--Ibid.

On Wednesday, the 5th inst., 25 cwt. of Flax grown by Mr. Neal Doherty, of Strabane, the produce of four barrels of Riga seed, was purchased by a Flax buyer from Armagh, at the extraordinary price of 6l. per cwt. Great credit must be given to the superior manner of cleaning done by Sir Robert Ferguson's mill lately erected near Castlefin. The Belfast Flax Society awarded the premium to James Herdman, Esq., last season, for Flax grown by the same person, and it is expected the purchaser this season will meet a similar reward.
