The following new regulations have been just issued by the Lords of the Admiralty, for the establishing an improved mode of vi tualling the seamen of his Majesty's Navy, and paying to them a portion of their pay whilst employed on foreign service: ADMIYALTY OYTICE, JULY 1, 1824. The Kum having been pleased, by his Order in Council of the 23d of June, to establish a new and improved scale for victualling his Majesty's Navy, a copy thereof is subjoined. There shall be allowed to every person serving in his Majesty's ships, the following daily quantities of provisions, viz. Bread - - llb. I Sugar - Beer - • lgal. Fresh Meat Cocoa - - luz. Vegetables - Tea - - }oz. When fresh meat and vegetables are not issued, there shall be allowed in lieu thereof : 1 ioz. I lb. lib. Salt Beef alternately ilb. I Salt Pork alternately 4lb. Flour - - Vb. Peas - i pint. Am!, weekly, whether fresh or salt meat is issued, oatmeal half pint, vinegar half-pint. On the days on which flour is ordered to be issued, suet and raisins, or currants, may be substituted for a portion of flour, at th,e following rate: One Pound of Raisins being considered equal to ilb. of Flour. half-pound of Currants ditto ditto,. .: flalf-pound of Suet ditto di tt o... . ..r.7- In case it should be found necessary to alter any of the above species of provisions, and to issue others as their substitutes, it is to be observed that 111 b. of Soft Bread, or 1 lb. of Rice, or is to be considered equal . 1 - o 11b. 1 lb. of Flour »t Piscuit. 1 pint of Wine is to be considered equal; to a * pint of Spirits G.llon of Beer. 1 ounce of Coffee, or is to be considered equal to t ounce of Tea ounce of Cocoa. llb. of Rice, or is to be considered equal to 1 1 pint of Cavalances, or 1 pint of M Pint of P eas.oll , 11b. of Butter is to be considered equal to lib of Sugar. 21bs. of Cheese are to be considered equal to tlb. of Cocoa. *lb. of Onions or Leeks to be equal to lib of other vegetables. Flag Officers, Captains, and other Commanding Officers will ob . - serve in the above scale, and will fully explain to the Ships Com panies under their orders, the advantages of this new system, viz. ' that what were called banyan days are abolished ; that Meat,Vege table., Flour, or Peas, is to be issued every day ; that Flour, instead of being exchanged for a portion of Beef, will now become an article of the men's regular allowance ; and that a quantity of Tea or Coffee, sufficient to make a Pint of liquid, will be issued every evening. It will be observedin the Table of Substitutes, that the quantity of Spirits to be issued in lieu of Beer or Wine is diminished one half ; but in addition to the Pint of Tea or Coffee allowed in part compensation for this diminution of Spirits, his MAJESTY has been graciously pleased, in further and full compensation, to add two shillings per month to the pay of such Warrant Officers as do not rank with Lieutenants, and of each Petty and Non-commissioned Officer, Seaman, Marine, and Boy. As the diminution of Spirits only takes place when beer and wine are not issued, while the ad-. dition of tea or coffee and the increased pay are permanent, it will be obvious how much this regulation is to the pecuniary advantage and comfort of she Ships'Companies, while it is confidently expected that the diminution in the article of spirits will conduce to the health . of the people, and the good order and discipline of the ships. In addition to these advantages, it is intended that a certain por tion of the pay which may be due to each Warrant and Petty Officer (not allowed to draw bills), and to each Non-commissioned Officer, Seaman, Marine, and Boy, who may be desirous of receiving, shall be issued to them when in any port abroad or at home, at the expi ration of every one, two, or three months, as the Captain may judge expedient, by way of pocket money, viz. four shillings per month to Warrant, Petty, and Non-commissioned Officers, Seamen, and Marines, and two shillings to each boy; but as the carrying this arrangement into full effect will require the sanction of the Legisla ture, it is intended to submit a Bill to Parliament, early in the next Session, to authorise it; and in the meanwhile, in order to carry the same principle into effect as far as is at present practicable, the additional Two Shillings, now added to the Pay as compensation for pan of the Spirits, will be paid to the before-mentioned classes, in the same way that Short itilototnies Money is now paid. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in communicating to the Fleet the gracious and beneficent intentions of the Kirov, are satisfied that they will be received by the Officers and men as additional marks of his MAJESTY'S favour, and as real and sub stantial improvements to the condition of the Petty and Non-com missioned Officers and men.—By command of their Lordships J. W. CROKER. Mrs. H. BA RING is the daughter of Mr. BINGHAM, a rich Senator of the United States, who kept a splendid open house for the French emigrant noblesse in Philadel phia, among whom was a Count TILLY, with whom she eloped when he was 22, and she about 16. They were lawfully married the same night, but before morning she was forced back to her father's house by a party headed by her uncle, and the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an act to annul the marriage. She was shortly after married to Mr. H. 11Antuo. SWIMMING MATCH.—At eight o'clock last evening, two men undertook to swim across the Set pentine and back for a wager of four sovereigns. One of them ac complished his task, but the other, on returning, was seized with the cramp, and was unfortunately drowned. Every assistance was given from the shore, but it proved ineffectual ; and although the drags of the Humane So ciety were in active operation, the body was not dis covered at a late hour. HORRIBLE FANATICISM' IN IRELAND. ?tom TIM WEVFORD HERALD. It hid been intimated, by written notices dispatched round the country, that a Virede was to have been wrought, on Friday se'nnight, by the Rev. John Carroll, Roman Catholic Curate of Ballymore. On that day he visited a man of the name of 'Henry Neale, of Kil nick, who was lying dangerously ill of apoplexy. Im mediately after his arrival, he said the man was troubled with devils; he jumped on him several times, and cried out to the people present to keep him in prayer, in or der to dispossess the sick man of the evil spirts. Such was the effect of his operations upon one of the by standers, named Peggy Danby, that she fell to the ground in hysterics; upon which Mr. Carroll jumped out of bed, off Neale's body, and seized the woman in a violent manner, alleging that she was full of devils at the same time calling on 'lnns to assist him in ex pelling them. He trampled on the unfortunate woman, broke seve ral of her ribs, and left her for dead, and then observed that he would go and bury the devils which he had se cured. The blood was gurgling in the woman's throat, and some of the superstitious wretches who were look ing on exclaimed that they " saw the devils come on; of her mouth !" The Priest proceeded to the bridge of Assaily, about 400 yards distant from the scene of his operation, and on his return said " he bad buried the reptiles of hell!" He then went to the house of Robert Moran, of the same place, and struck his wife so repeat edly and violently, that when he left her she was scarcely able to speak, and her head was swelled to a shocking degree. The next house he visited was that of Thomas Sinnot, nailer, also of Killinick, accompanied all this time by at least fifty persons (some say by up wards of 200, but this is an exaggeration.) Tue devil killer asked the servant for her mistress, who told him that she was not at ,home, but that she would go for her ; he desired her to do so. In a few minutes Mrs. Moran appeared; he asked her for some refreshment, which she procured for him. At this time a child (a fine little girl between three and four years of age) then in bed in the room in which he was, began to cry ; he consulted his Breviary, and immediately affirmed that there was a devil in the child. Pursuing the same course which he did with Neale, he jumped into the bed, and on the body of the infant ! The father of the little innocent entered at the time ; the child piteously cried out, " Oh save me! save me !" which he was proceeding to do, but some of the miser able fanatics actually held him back!!! It may be , asked who was holding the mother of the child? No one—she was as free as any of the spectators, and, like them, had a conviction her child was, as the Priest had stated, " posses ed.' and that he was performing a mi racle to drive nut the evil spirit! Nay, the infatuated mother was not only without restraint, as to any relief .he might have been inclined to have afforded her in fain, but actually assisted the Priest in the performance of his horrible work !!! He ordered her to get a tub of water and some salt; these she instantly procured. The innocent little sufferer lay bleeding and insensible in bed ; he poured the contents of the tub upon her; and as the water mingled with the stream of life, he cried out with enthusiasm to those around him, " Behold a miracle! I have turned water into blood!" He then turned the tub over his victim, the edge of it coming on the child's neck, mercifully completed the tragedy, by putting an end to its sufferings! flaying desired the ,parents of the child not to allow any one into the room, nor to tobch the child till his return, he departed to Wexford. • His directions were religiously obeyed, and the besotted parents anxiously awaited his arrival. Next day (Saturday) the Priest's sister called at Sinnott's, and told them to be contented, that their child would be quite well on her brother's return! Mr. - Devereux, who attended Mr. Carroll occasionally for the last three years, visited hint a few hours previous to the unfortunate occurrence in question, and considered him insane. The next even ing he found him in a high state of insanity. About two hours after Dr. Devereux saw him, he was visited by Dr. Renwick, and he concurred in opinion as to the unsettled state of his mind. Sur prise, of course, vanishes as respects his conduct ; but how shall we designate that of the crowd of spectators who surrounded him, some of whom lent their aid to the furtherance of his designs, and all of whom, to the last moment, full of that teverential awe with which a Roman Catholic peasant looks upon a Clergyman of his communion, placed implicit faith in the propriety and efficacy of the ' wild and dreadful proceedings of the unhappy maniac !! Who would hate thought that such fanaticism existed in any part of this king dom, much less in a county which forms such a contrast to all others? The peasantry even of the neighbouring county of Water ford are a century behind the peasantry of this county. In one so improved and respectable, and, above aU, in the barony of Forth, that such a scene should have been exhibited, no reader can let pass him without his. special wonder." CORONER'S INQUEST. Monday, Arthur Meadows, Henry Archer, Luis Van Williams dorf Richards Esqrs. and the Rev. W. Hu g h es , Cl er k, M ag i strates , and a respectable Jury met to hold an Inquest on the body, William Furlong, being duly sworn, detailed the circumstances as given in the above narrative : he said he was certain the child was alive when the tub was put on it; the Priest first began to sing, and then to whistle; he unbuttoned his gaiter, and took off his stocking; he whistled, and beat time to the nine of a hornpipe on the side of the bed; witness believes the Priest remained about three hours standing and sitting on the tub; the Priest took the tub from off the child ; saw the child, and believed it to be dead ; the father and mother were present, to the best of the witness's opinion; there were several persons in the mom; does not at present recollect their names ; believes the Priest called for some water and salt, which he put into the tub ; after the wit ness suspected the child was dead, he went home to Bally sheen and left the father and mother and Priest in the room, and several others ; to the best of his opinion, the Priest's sister was in the room during the whole transaction, whom the witness desired to go home : there was no interference on the part of the persons present to save the child, except what was attempted by .witness and its father; recollects Paddy Pule preventing him (wit ness) from endeavouring to save the child, and asked hint " was he 'mad!" Nicholas Wickham, of Assaily, was present during part of - the transaction, and held a candle for the Priest; he (Wickham) made no exertions to save the child. From a Magistrate.—Could the people have prevented the Priest from killing the child?-Yes, certainly. Thomas Sinnott, father of the deceased, recollects Friday the 9tk instant; did not send for the Priest; was not at his house when the Priest came there ; believes the Priest was half an hour in the house before him ; the child was three years and a half old, and was not sick at that time; when he came in he heard a noise; went into the room where the child was, and she spoke to him; the Priest was in the room; the child said, "0, daddy !" the Priest and the child were in the bed together; witness attempted to take the child away, but some persons prevented him; he tried again to take the child ; he saw nothing more except the child dead as the Priest was going; never saw the Priest deranged before at any time; witness resides in the parish of which the Priest is curate; cannot recollect any person, but thinks there was a great number in the room. Several other witnesses were examined to the same effect. Dr. Devereux.—Examined the child, C. Sinnott; there was a large contusion on the head, and great marks of violence on the abdomen : the child might have died from either of the above causes, or from suffocation when under the tub. Dr. Kenrick corroborated the above evidence. Vas orcv.--0 We agree that the child, Catherine Sinnott, deceased, came by her death in consequence of the violence she received from the Rev. John Carroll, as adduced by the evidence. "Signed fur self and fellow Jurors, " RICHARD SYLVESTER, Foreman." It was generally reported, that one of the poor women who was badly treated by him has since died. No circumstance, we may with truth assert, that has occurred hri this county, since the deplorable s(e of 1798, his occasioned In the public mind, a'strotiger sentatiowthantas this horrible event, which is almost the only. subject of conversation among all climes. FROM THE HUSH PAPERS. We hwe deep regret to mention a batbarous offence in this neighbourhood, and marked by great cruelty' and disregard of hu man life. It appears that about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, a number of armed villains rushed into the house of Michael Kenely, who, with his four brothers, all honest, sober, and industrious men, resided there. Of the five, they instantly killed two with murderers blows of heavy weapons, and another died soon afterwards,from like savage treatment ; the two remaining brothers were also horri bly treated, but they were living yesterday, with some hopes of re. cevery ; and one of them was sent to the Infirmary of Cashel, the other has been taken to Caber. This massacre, as it may be called, took place near New Inn, and within about half a mile of a party of military and police stationed in that village; hut having fired no shots, the murderers effected their purpose without beim; heard at New Inn, and so made good their retreat in time. The cause of the attack on these poor people, and the facts of the ca'e itself, are mentioned in various ways, as will be seen by the fol lowing communications we have received on the subject : EXTRACT OF A LETTEIL—TURSDAY NICHT.—" The names Of the three unfortunate men who are dead are Michael, William, and Martin Kenely—the latter of whom survived till noon on Monday, and died while the Coroner and Mr. Wilcocks were holding an In quest on the bodies of his brothers. John Kenely is at present in the infirmary of Cashel, with his skull badly fractured, and little hope of his recovery : the other brother, David, who is also mush injured by the assassins, was taken in Caher. " The assassins also committed a robbery: they took from the house of the Kenelys se3s, with which these poor men intended going to the fair of Graystown to purchase cattle.—Clonmel A:me. DICSPERA FR AFFRAY AT CASTLICOMIL—Sunday night last, a number of men, women, and children, assembled to destroy the ounce' lately put up, near t h e turnp i ke of Castleeomer, by the Turn pike Board, for the purpose of augmenting their toils.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, who, it will be recollected, on the for mer hearing, intimated that if the traverse were to go oa, it must be done wholly on the responsibility of the parties, now declared that his opinion remained the same.

This morning there are only short fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and not many Oats fresh up. The Wheat Market was composed chiefly of samples left over from former supplies, moat of which are out of condition, and con sequently unfit for our millers' use. Fine dry parcels of Wheat fully supported the terms of this day se'nnight ; but other qualities are very dull in sale, and hardly support last quotations. Barley fully supports the terms last quoted. Beans sell very heavily, anti to make progress less prices must be submitted to. Peas of both kinds are without alteration. There was more disposition on the part of buyers to purchase Oats last market day; but so soon as it was known that the average of the first week, which regulates im portation, was 275. 6d. being above the limit for opening the ports, the trade became dull again, and it was with dillicuhy that the prices of this day sc'nnight could be obtained.
