.1%),i 1.47 STATE OF IRELAND. Tuesday se'nnight an armed party of rebels, exceeding 200, marched in military order into the populous village of Tubber, adjoining this county, under the command of a Captain, who in due form halted his men in front of the house of a respectable far mer of the name of Forde, in the centre of the village, and within a mile of a police station, and instantly summoned Forde to appear, which not being promptly complied with, Forde's door was forced open, and he was dragged out in presence of the Captain, and obliged to kneel and beg for life, several guns being presented at him. Forde was then sworn to quit, and give up next day at 12 o'clock, half a farm of land in this county, immediately adjoining Tubber, which Forde had taken from Mr. Butler, of Ballyline, ao far back as two years last May , the fo r m er tenant, named Kilkelly, not being able to pay the rent of the whole farm. After the cere mony was over, the Captain addressed the people of the village who bad assembled, and declared the law to be, that any man who had been removed from lands within the last five years should be forthwith restored, or death should follow. This speeeh was re ceived with cheers. The party fired 13 shots, and departed towards the county Galway, from whence thiy came. Next day poor Fordo was obliged to remove his stock off these lauds, and aban- Jon his tillage.—Clare Journal. DILIBERATS AND WANTON Our arne.—As a servant man of Mr. Edward Gutridge, Nurseryville, was walking peaceably from a farm belonging to his master, at Drumlion, within one mile of this town, about 12 o'clock (noon) on Tuesday last, he was attacked by two fellows witb bludgeons, and beaten in a most savage man ner. Acts of this kind are of " such common occurrence, and the motives and principles which actuate the perpetrators have become so notorious, that it is almost needless for us to inform our read ers that the man is a Protestant, and his assailants Papists.—Fer managh Reporter. On the night of Monday week last, a band of the " Agrarian Youth" attacked a small farmhouse near the Floate, in the parish of Street, in this county, and set it on fire in several places. It was burned almost to the ground. The cause of the outrage was the ejection of the former tenant for non-payment of rent —West meath Journal. A very daring and unprovoked outrage was committed on a policeman named O'Connell, who, with his sergeant, was proceed ing to their station at Kilmanahan, on Saturday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, from the market of Min& O'Connell, seeing a person apparently in a dyke, supposed bim to be one Mul lowney, and called out to him, saying that his (Mullowney's) wife was with them, and safe. He had scarcely uttered these words when the fellow aimed a stone at the constable's head, which brought him to the ground. O'Connell's son instantly sprung on his father's assailant, and succeeded in knocking the ruffian down, but he ultimately effected his escape, leaving his hat in the posses sion of the constable's son. O'Connell is confined to his bed from the ill-usage he received on the occasion.—Camissel Advertiser. At the fair of Caher, on Friday, business was extremely dull, and consequently prices of all descriptions of cattle were on the decline. In the evening the Tipperary Staff and Police were called out by John Chaytor, Esq. to quell a riot between two drunken factions, eighteen of whom were taken into custody. A party of the Queen's Bays, under Lieutenant Tobin, came into town about six o'clock, but the affray had been in the mean time quelled by Mr. Chaytor's commendable exertions. A Bench of Magistrates were specially summoned next day, before whom the rioters were tried, when twelve of them were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment in the County Gaol, which they reached on Satur day, under a strong escort. Saturday evening two men named Cahill, with whom the quar rel at the fair originated on the preceding day. were attacked near Mr. Goning's mill, and dreadfully beaten, while driving home some sheep.—Did. Monday night some vagrants threw stones at, and broke two panes of glass in the guard-house window of the Ordnance Bar• rack, and pitched stones over the barrack-yard wall, on the centi nel's post inside; they then ran away and escaped.—lbid. 1 :[ . !I;f ROBBERIES. Friday evening, about nine o'clock, the house of Mr. Wm. Sey mour, of King-street, Greenwich, was broken and entered, by means of the attic window, the thieves having got• through an empty house, two doors off, broke a pane of glass, unlatched the window, and effected an entrance, and stole therefrom a diamond brooch set with pearls, one sovereign, a brown surtont coat, some stockings, and sundry articles of wearing apparel. Sunday evening, the 20th instant, between the hours of five and eight o'clock, the dwelling-house of Benjamin Taylor, No. 55, Frith-street, Soho-square, was broken and entered, and the follow ing articles stolen, viz. two silver table spoons, five ditto tea spoons, three salt spoons, one silver watch with an old swivelled key, six shirts, one blue cloth cloak with a claw clasp, lined with crimson ; one amber necklace; one paste cross set in silver, and other articles. - - --- Friday night the dwelling-house of Mr. James Nyath, of No. :59, Stamford-street, was broken and entered , and two silver spoons and 9d. in copper money were stolen. In consequence of an alarm being given, no other property was taken. Wednesday morning, 1151. were stolen front Mr. E. Eames, of No. 6, Cadugan street, Sloane -street, consisting of notes of the Bank of England. and one check for 241. Ss. The notes are—one for 51. two for M. and one tor 501. Thursday night, a shed, belonging to Mfrs. Fry, of Upper Green street, Friar-greet, St. George, Southwark. was broken and en wed, and several articles stolen therefrom. Thursday night the residence of Mrs. King, Sion -terrace, Edge ware-road, was entered by thieves, who broke into the premises, which they robbed of seven silver tea-spoons, one dessert ditto, one salt ditto, one mustard ditto, one silver butter-knife, together with other property. Sunday night the dwelling-house of Mr. Adams, Osborn-place, Whitechapel, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and robbed of seven handsome lace caps, two silver tea spoons, and other p'o perty. On the night of Thursday, the 17th inst. as John Coultbard, a native of Ayr, with a fellow-labourer, wbcr -calls himself James were travelling between Hesket and Coekennotith in quest of employment, they became tired, and lay down in a field near Ouse Bridge, where Coulthard fell asleep. About midnight be was awakened by feeling some severe blows upon his head, and, looking up, he observed his companion lying upon him with a stone in his band, with which he was striking him on the head with all bis force. Coulthard made an attempt to extricate himself, but the assassin seised him by the neckerchief and endeavoured to choke him, at the same time demanding his money. The unfortunate vic tim, finding that the fellow determined to murder him, delivered up both his watch and money, consisting of two Carlisle guinea notes (bank not known), and four shillings in silver. After having surrendered his property, the robber, with a blackthorn walking stick, struck him violently several times on the bead and body, leaving him on the ground for dead. In the course of the straggle Coulthard repeatedly called out " murder !" as loudly as be could, but bis assailant, nothing deterred, seemed determined on taking his life, declaring that he would put him from calling." Cool thard believes the robber to be an Irishman, as he told him he came from the county of Down, and was by trade a blacksmith. CITY OF LONDON FUNDS. It may be remembered that in the Lords' Committee on the London Bridge Approaches Bill, great efforts were made to get at details of all the City of London's Corporation property, and the mode of its expenditure, particularly by the Marquis of London derry, to ascertain, as his Lordship alleged, whether it was advan• rageously and properly expended, and whether, if their own means were properly husbanded, there was all that aid required which was sought by the Bill. Various abstracts were delivered; but nothing would satisfy the Noble Marquis till all the books, papers, documents, charters, &c. were produced, and just before the com promise on the subject of the Bill, which was on the eve of the prorogation, they were produced. They occupy nearly one thou sand rather closely printed pages, and chiefly consist of accounts, so that it is difficult to give even an outline of the varied contents. The list of general heads, as a table of contents, alone occupies two folio pages. Class A.—Consists of accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Orphans' Fund for five years. Class B:—Statement of the surplus arising from the Orphans' Fund, together with the application of the same in the year ending July, 1828. Class C.—A statement of the several sums which have been charged upon the Orphans' Fund by various Acts of Parliament for effecting sundry public works. remaining due July, 1828. ClassD.—An account of moneys received and paid by the Cham berlain, respecting Blackfriars Bridge, &c. Class E.—Accounts of monies received and paid in pursuance of various'Acts " for improving the navigation of the river Thames, westward of London Bridge, for one year." Class 1 4. —LConsists of statements of the" City's Estates frem 1813 to 1828 inclusive. Every item of script and espenditure is given. The receipts in 1815 were 123,000/. in 1828 the amount was 174,962/. ; but these statements alone occupy nearly four hundred folio pages.; so that general deseriptlos is impracticable, and even selections. as curious specimens, it is difficult to make. The following, however, are some items and extracts from the PRODUCE AND EXPENDITURE OF THE CITY'S ESTATE FOR 1828. BZWIII ♦$D QOM WITS.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. Newmarket, Monday Evening. Present appearances do not justify an opinion that the company will be more numerous, or the sport better, than is customary at the first of the October Meetings ; indeed, if there is any differ ence, it is on the unfavourable side. Of the present arrivals, the following ate the principal : • Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Rutland, Duke of Grafton, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Sefton and the Ladles Molineux, Earl of Verularn, Lord Anson, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Clinton, Lord Lowther, Sir Mark Wood, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Sloane Stanley, Mr. Greville, Mr. It. Wilson, Dr. Goodwin, &c. The last-named Gentleman is a very old Member of the Club, and has not visited it since 1800. The dinner party at the rooms last night was small. The weather is remarkably fine, and the turf, notwithstanding the late rains, in favourable order for running. The Test Stakes are likely to afford better sport now that Pa tron is amiss, as many horses will now run which would have piid fiirfeit bad he been in condition for racing ; he is not the only horse in the stable that is amiss.

He wu for an honest appeal to his fellow citizens, if his Lordship should not consider himself justified in interposing. The Loan Kayos thought the complaint a reasonable one ; but he was of opinion that the quarter to which it should be made was the Court of Common Council. Mr. Hunt—How can we appeal to them, whom we consider to be our servants, for the payment of money to which we lay claim, for having convicted them of a gross misapplication of the City Funds? Enormous sums are annually paid to there Committees for blowing out." We do not choose to incur the scandal of joining in the " feeds," and we therefore incur the enmity of the gentlemen who do. The proprietors of White Conduit-house offered most liberally to put an excellent dinner upon the table for the poor widows for a very trifling sum •so th at we would have been able to give our unfortunate and hallstarved guests a trifle to put in their pockets to purchase a cup of tea ; but the system of gormandising has infected the lower officers of the Corporation, and unless we stuff their bellies, we do not stand a chance of a farthing --(laughter.) Alderman Farebrother thought that it would be advisable in Mr. Hunt to give the dinner first, and then to make his demand for the amount of the bill—(lood laughter). Mr. Hunt begged to be excused t he thought it quite enough to give his labour for nothing to his fellow-citizens. In these hard times he thought it too much in the Worthy Alderman to expect that he would pay the debts of the Corporation—(laughter). Per haps his Worship would be good enough to sustain the dignity and credit of the Corporation, of which he was so distinguished a member, by ordering the dinner, and be would then be entitled to dine with the poor widows himself--(laughter). The Lotto Kayos regretted that he could not interfere. Mr. Hunt—My Lord, I must then apply to the Livery—the masters of that worthy body, the Common Council ; and he trusted that the necessary correction would be given ; he should imme diately appeal to the justice of his fellow-citizens. BOW-4TREET. _ _ Tni MTITIRIOUS AITAIIIAT Fn cumv.—The Coroner waited on the Sitting Magistrates, Sir It. Blasts and Mr. Hau.s, yes terday afternoon, to say hat the parish officers of Finchley had applied to him for the depositions taken at the Inquest which at to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Phillips, but that he bad declined to give them up, except to Sir R. Birnie. Sir H. Mainz said that he had rather be without them. The parties had applied to him, and were to appear again on Wedne, day, but, tankss they should take upon them to charge some per son with the murder, he certainly would not administer an oath on the subject. The Coroner observed that it was very strange, undoubtedly, bow the laudanum got into the medidne bottle. Mr. Haus said be thought a Magistrate could not interfere without a direct charge, and that the depositions could not be of any service. The Coroner then retired, saying he would be in attendance again en Wednesday. HATTON-GARDEN. _ _ John Annear, a lad of sliteen years of age, was charged with having, on Sunday, stabbed, in several parts of the body, with a penknife, James Gorman, a lad of fourteen years of age. Gorman was unable to appear. It appeared that in a field in Maiden-lane, called Layeock's field, which is much resorted to by boys, the prisoner had been beset by Gorman and others, who were teasing him, and he took out the knife and threatened to stab the first who came near him. Gorman disregarded the threat ; and prisoner, using the knife back-handed, plunged it into his ribs. The point of the knifebad been broken in the act. Prisoner said he bad done it in his own defence. He was remanded till Thursday ; and as the witnesses seemed unwilling to appear, summonses were issued for them. Early yesterday morning the house of Mr. WYATT Lower Stamford-street, was burglariously entered at the back of the premises, and some property stolen. Miss Wearr was awoke by the noise of the thieves entering the room adjoining the one where she slept, and immediately gave the alarm. They decamped, leaving behind cheer considerable property, prepared for removal. The immense number of burglaries that have been recently com mitted in Lower Stamford-street is quite alarming. We will only enumerate a few, within a distance of less than 100 yards :—The Rev. Mr. Ackland, the Rev. Mr. Jones, Mr. Taylor, surgeon, Mr. David Peacock, Mr. Thornton (twice within six months), Mr. Peter Davy, Mr. Thomas, and Mrs. South. sou. each, for three year old colts Bst. 71b. and fillies Bst. 31b.

Yeseerday Mr. Sheriff Copeland applied to the Low MAYOR re lative to a statement which has appeared in the papers of the Sheriffs having detained money taken from a person named DeWitt, now under confinement. Mr. Sheriff Copeland denied that he or his colleague bad acted from any other motive than that of a de.' sire to perform their duty. He found that he and his colleague were, in some measure, the objects of dislike, from the desire they manifested to put down a species of crime which was growing into uie daily. He found that officers were ready to give back crow bars, phosphorus-boxes, and things of no value to the prisoners, but when unfortunate persons had duplicates money, or other valuables, they would not return them. One case he would ad vert to ; it was the cue of a poor prisoner, now under sentence of death in Newgate, of whom the officers had obtained 291 The wife of the prisoner could not obtain one farthing of it, and he (Mr. Copeland) would have attended at Lambeth-street office to investigate the affair, but that he was prevented on account of swearing in the new Sheriffs. The worthy Sheriff concluded by saying if it cost him £l,OOO, be would nut grudge the money. The LORD Miaow assured the worthy Sheriff that no impute. tion could be cast on him. He had to his (the Lord Mayor's) knowledge acquitted himself of the duties of his office. Mr. Sheriff Copeland—As a sworn officer of the Crown, lam compelled to keep the money until the right owner is found. I will preserve the rights of my office. The LORD MAYOR said, that in the case of the robbery of Mr. Flint's, the Judge ordered money to be returned to that gentleman found in the house of the thief. Mr. Sheriff Copeland had made this statement, as some odium was attempted to be cast on the Sheriffs for the performance of their duty. The matter then dropped. MR. Hour AND TDR CORPORATION Of Lornessi.—Mr. Hunt ap plied to the LORD MAYOR, with whom Alderman FARRIIIOTURI was sitting at the time, for a warrant against the City Chamber. lain, or for a summons, if his Lordship thought it the most cour teous way ; that City Officer having refused to pay the sum of 2001. due to the Auditors of the City Accounts, for their labours for two years. lie considered that the Chamberlain was respon sible to the Lord Mayor for having, notwithstanding repeated ap plications, detained that sum of money after it had been ordered by a Court of Common Council, to be handed over to the gentle. men who bad performed the duty of examining the City accounts. " We have," said Mr. Hunt, "entered into the investigation for the benefit of our fellow.citizens, and expected that the money would be forthcoming. Upon entering into office, we declared that we would not eat or drink to the value of one farthing of the City money, and we applied in the proper quarter for the sum I have just mentioned, in order to supply the poor widows of free men with something to comfort their poor hearts; but the Hall. keeper, who is supplied by the Chamberlain with the means of de fraying the amount allotted for our labours, told us that he could not give us the money for any purpose except that of devouring —(Laughter). We persevered in our application for the 2001. but were told over and over again that we had only to order a dinner, and the bill should be paid without hesitation. Well, we changed our application; and told the liall-keeper that as we would not guttle and guzzle ourselves, and as a tavern-bill must be contracted, or the money would not be visible, we should give a dinner at White Conduit House to the widows. This proposition the Hall.keeper seemed to consider to be for a legitimate purpose, and we were led to suppose that it would be acceded to. We soon, however, learned that our efforts in favour of the poor widows were ineffectual. The money was not to be had for any purpose except the usual one, and the officees expected themselves to share in the guttling and guzzling distribution of it—(Loud laughter).-- Under these circumstances he (Mr. Hunt) thought it necessary to address his Lordship at the present moment, in order to render it unnecessary for him to complain to the Livery." The Loan MAYOR said that the application was certainly a very new and unexpected one, but he was convinced that he bad no power to act. The Chamberlain was not responsible to him, and the case was not one with which a Magistrate could interfere. The Court of Common Council bad the authority to enforce the pay ment of the sum ; and if Mr. Hunt would petition that body, re dress or satisfaction would. doubtless, be afforded. Mr. Hunt said that it would be extremely absurd in him to pe tition the Court of Common Council, after having been appointed by the Livery to investigate a system of delinquency with which the former body was chargeable (loud laughter). He and his brother Auditors had detected the Common Councilmen in certain nsislakes, and it would be indeed extraordinary to ask them to in terfere to obtain for those who were supplied With the means of exposing the syetem the reward of their zeal in such a cause. He trusted the Lord Mayor would endeavour to prevent the necresity of making a padal complaint in the Common Hall which was to be held (laughter, in which the Lord Mayor, Alderman Farebre ther, and Mr. /hint, joined). The Loin Mevoir.iid that the matter wag eve of debt; end if Mr. Hunt did not like an appeal to the Court of Common Council, he could try the effect of a civil action. Mt. Hunt thought himself bound to try the' means he had just described, rather than any other. He did not wish to accumulate espeuses by adding law charges, and swelling the pockets of the BIRTH.
