GLUTTONY4—A young hog, three months old, was about ten days ago, to decide a wager, killed, scal ded, cooked, and eaten, in the short space of our hour bylaw persons, at di:Black Boy, in the parish a Fvarnfield. A few days ago, the daughter of Mr. Florreavoe, of Horsmonden, in' Kent, who is about twelve years of age, but of extremely weak mental faculties, open ed a drawer, in which her father kept his money, and actually ate and swallowed a sew Bank-note, four of 46 each, and a iftl note, before she was discovered. Last week an Inquest was held at Lincoln, on the body of a child, whose death was occasioned by poison imbibed from a brass ring, given it to play Via, and which it had put into ks mouth. k 'serious accident occurred in the Borough on Saturday morning, owing to the careless and furious driving of a post-chaise lad. The, chaise came in contact with a light gig, in which were a Gentleman soul his son, a boy about eight years of age. The Gentleman fortunately escaped without receiving anj serious injury, but the child had its arm fractured in * dangerous manner. Sunday soorning the body of s ; poor man, wham name is unknown, was found lying dealon a brick kiln in one of the Islington fields, where it is suppo sed the unfortunate man must have laid down to sleep for warmth, and ' was suffocated from the effluvia of the kiln. The body was carried to the Queen's Head, Lower-street, Islington. An Inqui. sition was taken last night upon the body. Verdict ..Accidental Death by burning. _ _ • AUDACIOUS BURGLARY.—The Cottage in Great Coram street, on Sunday evening, presented a esti.. ons spectacle within. Mrs. Corfirld, who had just returned from the country, found the garden and the padlock forced open ; on proceeding to the front door, that was secured by a thread ; and in the passage and two parlours were tables, chairs, piano. forte, sofa, all regularly packed up as if there had. been a sale, or intended remove of furniture at quer. : ter day. A watchman's box is within a door of the', Cottage, and the thieves must have had a cart in t waiting there at least three hours, for they most have; been occupied that time in ripping up the carpets that, were nailed, and taking down the mirrors, glasses, aed piciures, which, with various other ankles, they removed the preceding bight. About eight locks! had been broke open, others resisted the violence that: was used, and among others, the .locks of large tin boxes, containing papers. A.dkins,. Salmon, ice. have declared their opin i o n that the burglary was ef fected by novice thieves. A large roll of new mad e , . tinder, brimstone, watches, and a woods& mallet were, left behind. - • • .... i ., '' • : s ) :,.

In the middle of last night,l l the house of EDWARD LTNC HT, at Raisetown, abo_ three miles from Ardee, was surrounded by SOSO infernal incendiaries, who set it o n ere, and, dread ful to relate I LYNCHY. his son-ice-law T . ROONZT I his wifeind child , two servanvanaide, and two young I men, were,burnt to death. Th u s eight ill-fated victims have been immolated to the vengeance of unknown diabolical murderers: It was for attacking and break. ing into the house of LINCHIIt one of the persons who hat just perished, that Timm" Shades, and Gen. lass, were recently executed in Dundalk. It was the evidence of LYNCHT and his ton-in-law ROOMY. that had the primary effect of procuring the conviction of the three culprits, who have expiated their guilt by their lives. It is supposed that it was some of the friends or adherents of these three unfortunate men who listened to the suggestions of an implacable re venge, which hurried them to the perpetration of this deed. H. M. BLACKWELL, Esq. the Coroner, is just gone to the scene of horror to hold an inquest. No person has, up to this moment, been arrested. The Magistrates are making the most diligent search for the murderers." • On the 17th ultimo an inquest was held at Killigh bragh, in the barony of Costello, on the body of LAWRENCE O'HARA, sen. who was murdered two or three nights before. The Jury found that his death was caused by a pistol-shot wound said various stabs, wilfully and feloniously inflicted upon him by' James Philips, Myles Philips, and Thomas Philips, and that Michael Philips, Simon Philips, and Pat. Philips were aiding, and abetting, and conspiring in the said murder. This dreadful crime, the result of inveterate malevolence, is said to have been long me. ditated. The murderers, reeking with the blood of their victim, repaired to the house of his son, LAW. MINCE O'Haa&, jun. - white life was to have been also sacrificed: but as he, after having been fired at, providentially knocked down ,one of his assailants, and armed himself with his weapon, a pitchfork, be wars enabled to give them battle, and finally to beat them off —not, however, without several very serious wounds. On Saturday se'nnight, a Tithe Proctor, living near Four-mile-water, in the county of Waterford , ' named BUCKLEY, was barbarously murdered. It would seem as it he had been way-laid. There were the marks of various blows on both his arms, as it received in his defence. and the side of his skull was literally beaten in, as if by the corner of a stone. He was in his office a mild and indulgent man. He had been in town until near eight o'clock at night, when he left it, in company with some other men, a little inebriated. His body was found battered as we have 'stated, and Sung into the dyke at the road side, where it was discovered early on Sunday morning. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict [ was found of wilful murder. BUCKLE( has left a wife and six children without provision. Friday night, about ten o'clock, an armed party came to the house of Mr. GEORGE SHAW, at Rathro nan, and after &king some shots, attempted so foice / his door with blows of a sledge l. demanding that Mr. I SHAW would discharge from his employment a mil ler from the county of Cork. Being unable to force the door, or obtain compliance, the deluded beings decamped. s At a meeting held on the 17th ultimo, at Boyle, at which Lord LORTON presided, it was found expe dient to enter into strong resolutions for the mainte nance of the public peace, in consequence of several outrages having been committed which are specified in the resolutions, .such as 4 4 nightly meetings, rob bing houses of arms, pulling down houses, scattering hay," kc.; and in consequence of 4 4 a spirit of out 'rage and insubordination having manifested itself in the parishes of Boyle, Kilronan, Ardcarn, and Tun na, in the barony. of Boyle, that calls for the utmost *unions and vigilance." KILIESSNY. OCToIIZR 31.—Threatening notices and incendiary letters have been received by different landlords within the last fortnight, for presuming to inquire for arrears of rent. Sunday night a banditti went to the lands of Eagle's-hill, in the Barony of Gowran, little more than two miles from this city, overthrew the haycocks,- and scattered the hay over the adjoining fields. They, then set fire to the house of Patrick Power, herdsman to the Rev. ZACHARIA CORNOCK, the owner of Eagle's-hill,. which was burnt to the ground, the poor'man and his family escaping with their lives with difficulty. Fortunately, a large quantity of wheat had been removed the day. before. The Sheriff and Magistrates are to meet on Saturday. FATAL Dug&. — A duel took place on Monday se'nnight, at Inch, on the borders of the Counties of Cork and Kerry, between ALEXANDratMACtaraY, Faq. of Inch, and —,:RAYMOND, E sq. of Mill tows, in the County of Kerry, in which the former received the ball of his adversary's pistol:and expired id aim Minutei after. ' . DUBLIN CORN 111ARLET 9 ,0OTOBER 81.—The rear: kit was yesterday well supplied with grain, and the demand was brisk, both for home consumption and exportation. - Wheat, although of an inferior qua lity, went off at an advance of IL over the last day's. prices ; and otos, in an improved condition, at an advance if 2s. Veers was but a small supply of barley, and it had ready sale at from 20s. to 251. Very little of any kiUd of grain remained unsold at gate i the close of theldity. Saturday se'nnight, Werraw dyer, of Charlinster, was brought before C. AMIN * Esq. Mayor of the Bo rough of Dorchester, on a charge preferred against him by I'. TAPP, Esq. for forestalling the markets of the said Borough.. The charge being fully esta blished, he was called on to - find sureties for his appearance to take his trial at the nest General Quarter Sessions of the Peace. William Hastings and .David Bruce !lave been lodged in Portsmouth gaol for safe custody. They were brought fromlbe coast of Africa, in the Imps- STAINr frigate, for having been accessary to an am of piracy in an English vessel, by taking the command , of her, from the Captain, and endeavouring to ;et to America, in which, however, they were disapposeted, by the Captain's recovering possession of-the weasel, after a severe struggle, in which two of the wavelasere were thrown overboard, and one was killed.

Mr. Jef-i feries added, that he was in a different box in the', public house, heard her say, lam in.* great hurry, and cannot stop ;" and both went oos,..followed by him. She denied any knowledge of the last witness (Charles). She, however, stated to John Foy that as bad seen him before, and was acquainted with (Charles) for the last 12 months, and he used to visit her often. The prisoner mad* no defence, but left it to her Counsel. Several persons were called, but they merely proved she was honest so far as they knew, and lived as the wife of Thomas Cann alias Lawrence, convicted on Saturday of a similar offence. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed bp, and lamented the unfortunate situation of the unhappy female, as he did not see the least thing which the Jury could urge in their verdict in her favoot. The Jury found het Guilty—Death. The ATTORNEY GIENERNL, after so clear a convic tion, did nut wish to proseciate on the othet charges. (There were five other indictments .for similar of. maces.) On hearing the verdict she burst into tears, and implored the Court to recommend her to mercy on account of seven poor unprotected children which she had at home. , Sera Carter was capitally convicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Susannah Williamst quantity of plate, value 401. and upwards. beiproperty. • Robert Mirka, aged S 2, was accused of taking stamps from old newspapers, and affixing - them to blank sheets, with intene-to defraud the neeentieik•--%.
