The Clonmel Herald contains the following additional particulars, respecting the recent horrid murders at Knockgraffon, and adds that some of the murderers are kr.own: " It appears from the testimony of a servant woman who was in the house during the greater part of this horrid scene, that two of the brothers (deceased) who were at supper made a bold resist ance. Four of the gang first entered, when these two brothers knocked down two of them and closed the door, when the three brothers who were in bed came to their assistance. On this the four ruffians roared out for assistance, when the rest of the villains, abort fourteen, forced in the door and door-frame. They then took out these unhappy brothers one by one, and literally broke in pieces the skulls of the deceased, and fractured those of the survivors. As high as they could lift their hands they raised large stones, and let them fall down on the beads and face of the deceased. One of the ruffians, a large fellow with much hair on his face, placed with one hand the servant maid against the wall of the house, and with the other was cocking a pistol in order to shoot her; at this awful moment, another of the gang inter posed, and rescued the unhappy woman, alleging that she was but a servant girl earning her bread, unconnected with the Kinnealys, and in a state of pregnancy ; and that the shot would be beard by the police. It is melancholy to think that some women on the road were aware of the murders while they were being committed,' and had endeavoured to lead the police astray. Two fellows were apprehended. one in the neighbourhood of Lowesgreen, and ano ther within a few miles of this town, and brought into CasheL— Another ruffian, some of whose clothes were found besmeared with blood, and in whose house some cartridges were found, has for the present absconded ; but as there is a strict search after him, it will he impossible for him to escape. The brother who riew lies in the Insrmary at Cashel can speak, and knows four of the murdering twig. Atter the murderous deed was completed, the villains deli berately sat down, and drank three bottles of whisky which they brought with them, and when they emptied the bottles, broke them In pieces on the heads of the poor sufferers." The following are some further particulars of the dreadful fanaticism in Wexford, which we extract from The Dublin Evening Mail: It appears, that three weeks previous to the fatal day, Father Carroll proclaimed from the altar, that he would shortly appoint a e l fur the performance of miracles, and for administering relief to diseased persons as put their faith in him. Friday, the 9th Swain, was the day appointed. His intention was made known throughout the country, and hundreds flocked from remote parishes bi witness the ,miracles.—ln evidence that such is the case we tfkr one fact which did not appear before the Coroner's Inquest : —On the day alluded to; a must respectable professional practi tioner, Dr. Biggs, was riding through the village of KiUineck, and perceiving a crowd round a woman, who was in strong convulsions, be got off his horse for the purpose of rendering her such assistance as b:s humanity and his knowledge dictated; but the people, although well acquainted with his person and character, would not suffer him to touch her, exclaiming—" that the devil was in her, and that they were waiting for Father Carroll to knock him out." Tins woman's name is Mary Moran; she lies at this moment dan- Zerously ill; her breast bone broken, and otherwise so seriously injured, that she is nut expected to recow. The public works %ere recommenced at Galway last week. Scarcely a poor person is now unemployed. MONTHLY CRITICAL. GAZETTE. THE THIRD NUMBER of this Wurk is in forwardness at pre' s , and will be published with the other Periodicals on the FIRST AuctsT, and may be bad of all the Booksellers it the United Kingdom. It will contain full and interesting Analyses of every New Pub lication which appeared in the month of June, just as No. 1 and 2 contained the 120 New Works of April and May. The Conductors deeply lament, that owing to circumstances which cannot be stated at convenient length in a public advettise tient, many Country Booksellers and their friends have been dis appointed in the receipt of the two first Numbers of this Work. Those circumstances will be detailed at length in the thit d Number, nut for purposes of crimination , but of self-justification. The plan of this Work is altogether new and original, and its execution has so powerfully excited public attention, u in great measure to have created those obstructions, and even mutilations, of which the Literary World and the Proptietors have so mucb r. son to complain.—London, Juts' Clet ENGLISH OPERA HO USE. THE ICING'S THEATRE. -' Ensures favourite Opera Butfa " Ii Toren in Raba," was per formed for the last time this season, last night, and a crowded and brilliant audience assembled to do honour to its temporary leave taking. Owing to the length of the Opera there was no Divereise. meta. The Ballet of Le Page lateautaxt followed, and went off with its usual success. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. An elegant audience attended this house last night, to witness the performance of the Dramatist, which was very ably sustained. Between the acts Madame CATALAN* sung two beautiful Italian airs, and at the end of the Play substituted Sweet Home, fur one announced, which was rapturously encored ; she likewise gave, for the first time, Scots wha Atie wi Wallace bled, which produced thunders of applause, and was called for a second time, but instead of it, she sang Bale, Britannia in such a manner as at once to asto nish and delight. Last night the celebrated popular German Opera of Dtr Freischitt was produced at this Theatre, which shewed not only the strength of the Company, but the liberality of its spirited Manager. This Opera is a li teral translation from the Opera of CARL MARIA VON WEBER, so popular in Germany as to have the singular honour of being prifornied for one hundred successive l nights, and at thirty different Theatres at the same time. The story, which is taken from the " Popular Talesand Romances of the Northern Maw's," though somewhat altered in the catastrophe, is Rod:,IA (Mr. uIIAHAM) and Casper (Mr. acme* are both ena moured of Aver (Miss Nola.); RatiolpA is the favourite of the Lady and her father. Casper, however, obtains from the Dentonofa lined (Mr. T. P. Cool*, the power of directing any bullets with which he might fire fairly to the mark at which he aims; in consideration whereof he engages to surrender himself a victim, or to procure a victim for the Derwin, after the lapse of a certain period of time. He is desirous of making his rival RedolA this victim, and endea vours to do so by transferring this power of directing the shots he might tire with accurate aim. it ainlph is the more anxious to be. come what is termed " a good shot," as a trial shot is about to take plice, which alludes to a custom that prevailed in part of Germany. that he who proved himself the best shot was entitled to the Han. lership of the Forest, and to demand in marriage the most beat;i rut woman in the country. Notwithstanding these blended aurae doss to yield to the suggestions of Casper, Rodolph escapes the snare, and the Fleet ends by Rudolph's bullet, at the ti sal shot, being di rected by the Demons power to the heart of Casper—Rada/ph, of course, receiving the bride and the Rangership of the Forest. The music of this Melodrame has, for mole than two years past, resounded all over Germany, the land of song. It is calculated to please ever y taste: the multi-' tude admire it for the beauty of its melodies, of which the connoisseurs are eqnally sensible, but find in it, be sides, whatever distinguishes the great master, and pro• claims tire brilliant genius. In the FreischiiZz, the lively, the tender, the solemn, and the nsysterious, are all ex• ' l pressed in the most appropriate tones and harmonies; and, if we may judge from the effect produced on the audience last night, the people of this country are as alive to the excellence of fine musical composition as , those of any nation in Europe. The overture, for in stance, which is full of science, of ingenuity, and effect, was encored; a trio, remarkable for its admirable con trivance, was also called for a second time, and scarcely anything that particularly displayed the talent of a fine musician, escaped immediate notice. It was exceedingly well performed, arid it would be unjust to Mr. ARNOLD not to say, that he has spared neither expense nor exer tion to produce this German Opera in such a way as to do its composer justice and to gratify the public, and that success will • attend his efforts we cannot reasonably entertain a doubt. Mr. AasoLD's very hazardous experiment of giving a popular German Opera to an English- audience, has thus met with the brilliant success it merited. It was Announced for repetition amidst bursts of applause.— The House was crowded at a very early hour. Mr. BRAIIAM introduced some Gelman airs, which he sang delightfully. We much doubt whether Mr. BRAHAM'S part was ever so well sung in the country of its first production. l , sliss NOEL sang with considerable taste and execution ; and Miss POVEY did justice to her part. Mr. BENNETT, who played the Freischiitz, not being a vocalist, had a double given him, for the purpose of singing his songs; this was Mr. H.PHILLirs, and . he, srho possesses a fine bass voice, acquitted himself very satisfactorily. ANOTHER ASCENT AT BATH. Monday, Mr. Graham made his ninth ascent, unac companied, at twenty-five minutes past six, amidst a general burst of enth,isiastic admiration from the countless spectators wi hin and without the Gardens. Having gained an altitude of nearly two miles and three-quarters, the mercury in the barometer sinking to 17 and 1-10th, and the cold being so intense as to cause Mr. Graham considerable inconvenience, he determined to descend. Upon approaching the earth his attention was arrested, and his admiration excited, by a most magnificent view—the sun declining to the west, and shedding his golden beams upon the waters of the Channel ; the range of mountains that mark the Welsh boundary , the rich hills and verdant valleys of Somer set and Wilts; the majestic woods of Longleat, Mar ston-Bigot, Mells Palk, Stourbead, Orchardleigh, and the neighbouring Noblemen and Gentlemen's seats, spangled with towns and villages. At about twenty minutes past seven, Mr. Graham landed 'in Longleat Park, the seat of the Marquis of Bath, not far from the pond in front of the superb mansion. The young Lords Thynne were on the spot, and prompt assistance was af forded to secure the balloon and its appendages. The politest attention was paid to Mr. Graham by the noble inmates of the hospitable edifice ; but declining the pressing invitation to refresh himself, from his great anxiety to return to the Gardens, he was forwarded to Frome, where he was welcomed by crowds of the inha bitants; and he returned to Sydney Gardens at ten mi nutes before eleven the same evening. A finer ascent could not be accomplished. The balloon was never out of sight from the moment of its launch, till it sank below the horizon at twelve minutes past seven. SURREY SM7I7 — VS, JULY 22. Nathaniel Maley, a lad of respectable appearance, aged 17 years, was indicted for stealing a silk handker chief, the property of Mr. F. Weller. Mr. Weller was in the pit of Astley's Theatre on the evening of the 26th of Jur.e, when a disturbance oc curred, during which he felt a pull at his pocket, and on turning round he caught the prisoner with his hand kerchief in his hand. He then gave him into the cus- tody of Stowell, an officer. Stowell stared, that he took the prisoner into custody from Mr. Weller, and on searching him he found four other handkerchiefs, a snuff box, and card-case. The prisoner said he picked the handkerchief up in the pit during the disturbance; the other handkerchiefs, as well as the snuff box and card-case, were bis pro perty. He added, he had been for the last nine months with his brother, a stock broker, in the Rotunda of the Bank, and was not likely to have committed this rob bery.—The Jury found him Guilty. The CHAMMAN sentenced him to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. COURT OF CMAJVCERY-THIS DAY. GORDON V. GORDON. This long litigated and interesting cause, in which the question was relative to the legitimacy of the plaintiff, and which has been already so fully and repeatedly before the l'uhlic, was this day again brought before the Court, on the motion of Mr. Kmiottr, on behalf of the defendant. The facts of the case were s:iortly these : —When the former decree was made, there were placed in the Master's Office, certain deeds, agreements, letters, writings and papers, amounting in a ll to f orty - e ight. The order, however, did not contain any directions 26 to the delivery of those papers ; and a petition of re-hearing having been filed, the defendant now prayed that the said deeds, agreements, &c. might be placed in his hands. Mr. Ileato objected to the motion, and submitted that it was only made for the purpose of delay. In fact, they bore no relation to the case ; and were quite as well in the Master's Office as anywhere else. The Loan CHANCELLOR said—Had the motion been to place them in the hands of the Clerk in Court, the case would have been diffe rent. There could, however, he no objection to the Master's Clerk plolucing them; but farther than this the motion must be dismissed. COURT OF KING'S IMNCIL-THIS DAY. LIBEL.--COOKE v. HUGHES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, James Sutton Stamp Cooke, Ese. the bro t h er to th e G ent l eman w h o l a id c l a i m to the Barony of Stafford and the estates attached to that title, to recover a compensation in damages against the defendant, a bookseller re siding in Ludgate -street, for publishing a Sr. 6d. Pamphlet, ander the title of the " Stafford Peerage, arlhe Imposture Unmasked." The title p . ige also contained the vilest invectives against the defend ant. It set forth the history of the " Baron Shuffle and Cut." Mr. Stamp Cooke was the victim, in consequence of his exertions in favour of a brother. ft professed to be written by John Campbell, Esq. this was an honourable name, and intended as a blind to the real writer; the book was addressed to Sir George Jerningham, Bart. and published by the defendant. The learned Counsel read the objectionable passages, which were full of the most disgusting abuse and calumniating assertions, denouncing J. S. S. Cooke as a gambler, swindler, and even a bigamist, and further, that he was one of the biggest rogues in England. The publication concluded by guarding the world against a monster ' who was once again let loose, but whom they, the writers, would keep a careful eye over, until they produced another edition. John Baldwin proved purchasing the book in question at the defendant's shop, in Ludgate-street; the plaintiff requested him to buy it. Plaintiff had brought an action at Derby, and got one farthing damages. The passages were then read, as was the trill for bigamy at the Old Bailey, where he was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation ; but afterwards the Royal clemency was ex tended to him, on proving that his first marriage was null and void. The Clerk having concludPd reading the partiphlet, Mr. Scsaurrr addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant. The Loan Cum, JUCTICI had sczrcely commenced his summing up, when the Jury intimated they were satisfied, and instantly re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing. PRIME V. SULLEN, GICNT. This was an action to recover damages from an at torney for negligently conducting a &fence intrusted to him by the I:1 tintiff. It appeared that in the year 1822, the plaintiff being then under age, and newly mar ried, took part of a house at Southend from a person of the name of Fay, for the purpose of carrying on the business of a baker. After occupying the premises three months he quitted, and the landlord made a de mand of six months' rent, which he refused to pay.— The landlord brought an action against him for the rent, and he employed Mr. Bullen to defend the action, upon the ground of his minority at the time the cause of action arose. The cause was set down for hearing, and on the Ist of March it was in the paper for that day. The briefs for the defendant had not been deli vered, nor were his witnesses in town, and in conse quence Mr. Spur, Mr. Bullen's town agent, who was in attendance, got the cause postponed, on affidavit of the absence of material witnesses, and the validity of the de fence, paying 13/. 10s. the costs of the day. Mr. Spur wrote down without delay to Mr. Bullets, informing him of the state of the cause, and desiring him to be in town early on the Monday morning with his briefs and witnesses. Mr. Bullen attended with some of the wit nesses on Monday, but in consequence of the absence of Price's father, who was to prove his minority, the ver dict was or the plaintiff. The principal question was, whether r. Mien or Mr. Price, jun. was responsible for the ab nce of the elder Price? From the evidence it appeared, that no subpoena had been given to him, under the impression that it was unnecessary to serve a subpmna on so near a relative; it appeared also that Price the younger, told Mr. Bullen on the Sunday, that his father would not come. It was shewn on the other side, that the judgment obtained against Price was still unsatisfied, that the 131. 10s. hither to remained unpaid, and that the present action, though nominally Price's, was in reality the action of Mr. Pearce, a rival attorney, at Southend. The LORD CHIEZ JUSTICE told the Jury, that even if the whole of Price's witnesses had been in attendance upon the trial, his defence of minority would not have saved him from the charge for use and occupation, for as he was married, it was a matter of necessity for him to have a place for himself and his wife. A verdict, therefore, would have been given against him upon that point. But with respect to the day's expenses of 131. 10s for putting off the trial to the 3d from the Ist of March, that was a question which he should leave en tirely to the Jury to decide. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and found for 'the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY , 22. DAVIS AND OTHERS V. MORLAND. This was an action brought by the assignees of John Lea, a bankrupt, against the respectable firm of Messrs. Worland and Company, bankers, to recover the pro ceeds of bills of exchange to the amount of 6,0001. Messrs. 11Iorland and Company had, among others, a banking account with the Orrell and Pemberton Coal Company, also with John Lee, the bankrupt, and Mr. Thomas Lee, Member of Parliament for Newton. Mr. Thomas Lee was in the habit of rendering assistance to this concern, in communication with the defendants, the bankers of the concern. In 1822, the concern had occasion for relief from their bankers, and upon that oc casion they discounted, at the request of the bankrupt, for the Orrell and Pemberton Coal Company, three bills, amounting to something more than 3,0001. But the bankers, not being disposed to advance the money on the credit of these bills alone, six bills, amounting to 6,0001. were deposited with them as a security, for the proceeds of which this action was brought. The bills which had been discounted were dishonoured, and, not withstanding those lodged as a security were duly paid, the bankrupt was left a debtor to the bankers. The plaintiff'', however, contended that, subsequent to the time when the bankrupt was debited, Messrs. Morland and Company had received, on account of the Orrell stud Pemberton Coal Company, money more than suffi cient to pay what had been advanced. The defendants contended that applying the money they had received to the payment of some old account, there was not sufficient to liquidate the debt. Messrs. Morland and Company did not so much contest the question on their own account, as on the account of Mr. Thomas Lee, who had made himself liable for the Orrell and Peru ,berton Coil Company. The Cum Armee told the Jury that the rule ()flaw was perfectly clear in this case, being the rule of com mon sense, as he hoped he should always find a rule of law to be. By the Civil Law, whence our Court of Chancery had borrowed this rule, money received was applicable to the payment of the oldest debts. The Eng lish law varied from this, and if there were separate debts, and payments were made, and nothing was said AS to which account the payments were to be applied, the creditor had a right to apply it to which he pleased; nut, in the case of bankers' accounts, it is now settled law that payments are to be applied to the oldest ite:n in the account. The Jury would therefore 1 ,, 0k at the state of the account after the bankrupt was debited, and ,ee whether sufficient had been paid to extingui.h hi. debt, accruing from the pres nt accommodation, or from some pi evious transactions. The Jul y were absent an hoar, and at five o'clock re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for %Mi. * LONDON ADJOURNED SESSION& ...—...„-- Yesterday Wm. Gearing Clarkson, a Prone*. of some respectability in Doctors' Commons, stood indica' for a violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr.Thonsas Wil son, the bookseller, at the corner of Dean's-court. Everybody must recollect the obstructions and an noyances which, till very lately, were occasioned in St. Paul's Church-yard, at the corner of Dean's -court, by a set of fellows plying there as porters, and who, in the capacity of barkers for some of the Proctors, accosted every individual, male or female, whom they suspected might have business in the Commons, with offers of their services to take them to a Proctor. A knot of these fellows were a short time since convicted under the new Sewers' Act, for this sort of obstruction and annoyance. In bringing about this conviction, Mr. Wilson, it seems, took au active part, and to that he attributes the an.- ' mosity on the part of Mr. Clarkson which led to the a,. sault of which he now complained. He had, he said, observed Mr. Clarkson apparently watching about for two days, as if waiting an opportunity to insult him-: On the day following, viz. the Bth of June (Mr. Wilson ) having occasion to go down into his cellar, stepped across the court to the lodge, to ask the porter to gist an eye to his shop during his absence, and while talking to him, defendant, walking backwards, trod upon his toes. Suspecting it was purposely done, he asked him what he did that for? the defendant, who had his tooth-pick carelessly in his mouth, said " Pure accident, Sir; pure accident." The sneering manner in which this was de livered provoked him to tell him that he was " a black guard, and deserved to have his head knocked about for it." " Oh," replied the defendant, " you are a fighter, I believe?" He told him he was no fighter, and turned from him to go into his shop, when the de. fendant followed him, struck him violently right and left, got his head under his arm, or, in the pugilistic dia lect, put his head in chancery, and fibbed him severely. Mr. ADOLPHUS cross-examined Mr. Wilson very closely, to make him allow that he had first called the defendant a thief and a swindler; but he firmly denied having used any opprobrious epithet at all, or done any thing to provoke the assault beyond what he had stated. Two other witnesses also proved the assault. The Jury found the defendant Guilty ; and Mr. Ser jeant ARABIS, in passing sentence, said the Court felt this to be a case of an extremely aggravated nature, and taking into their consideration the respectable station n life of the individual who had been assaulted, as w(11 as of the defendant himself, adjudged him to pay a fi. e of 251. to the King. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, JULY 22. _ . The Room was not well attended to-day, In consequence of many of the subscribers being at Cheltenham and other Races of th • week.

NOTTINGHAM RACES—Tossoar, JULY 20. Ilis Majesty's Plate of 100 p. was won by Sir W. Wynn's Cog novit in two heats, beating IA Rancliffe's Fearnought and another. The Yearling Stakes was won by Sir W. Wynn's Rebecca, beat. ing Mr. Platers Contention. The Gold Cup was won by Admiral Sotberon's Active, beating Mr. Ileathcote's Reindeer and four others. The Maiden Plate was won by Mr. Thomron's Evelina, after three heats, heating Lewd Fitswilliam's Nitrogen and another.— Nitrogen won the second heat. SPARRING. The benefit of Harry Harmer was not so well attended as first rate talrnt ought to be appreciated : he bad won all his fikhts as a rare-bred man. The benefit took place at the Royal Tennis Court, Windmill-street, and the setting-to was most admirable. After the sports had been opened by Jemmy Lennox and another, some earnest bouts took place. Harris and Reidy made a most satisfactory set-to. Harris is a veteran practitioner, and, although Reidy has net seen much ser vice, youth and courage kept the balance. Ben Burn and Oliver chewed off some superior tactics, and clumsy thumps were adistinistered without bargaining for. Spencer and i•:tnmet fought away well, and tried to make a bole in rack other. Curtis and Gypsy Cooper caused rounds of applause. Their ac tions were so correct, their parries so fine, and the hitting so effec tive, that we cannot state which had the best. Young Belasco made a very good set-to with a stranger. Cooper, the Gypsy, then challenged Pearce Inglis to fight for so sovereigns. Inglis could give no answer, as he was first open to Turner again. Golding, one of the new herculean', and who has the Bristol brogue in its purity, set-to with the Cambridge Youth—they tum bled into each other pell-mell, and placed some berry round hit., unaided by the smallest particle of science. At h • close of the performance, Cambridge got a slogger with the iig tt hand under the ear, which sent hint to dorm, and he remained so for some Mi nutes. It was so sudden, that he did not know where the blow was placed. Harry Harmer and his cousin, Belcher, made the beet set-to of the day. It was all perfection, and certainly no men in England can equal them. Cannon did not chew to answer Harmer's challenge. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 23.
