OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. SIEPT. 28.—Sunday night, as a patrol of the Police were on duty near Charleville, county of Mullingar, they were attacked by a numerous party of Rockites, all armed, and which consisted of upwards of fifty men. Overwhelmed by numbers, the police were all knocked down, and two of them dangerously wounded. There is very little hopes of the serjeant's recovery, he having received several wounds on the head. We understand that one of the Rockites was shot, and immediately car. Tied off by his comrades. Saturday night the kitchen and offices adjoining the dwelling-house of Messrs. John and William Graham, of Abbeylsnd, near Ballinacarig, in this county, were set on fire by some incendiaries, and consumed. The dwelling-house and the lives of the inmates were provi dentially saved. The house of Mr. Graham's herd was feloniously burned the same night. A few nights ago, a party of Rockites levelled a wall on the lands of Captain Gamble, of Halston, in this teunty, and ordered the masons not to work for him .any more, A notice was pored on the Church door of Street, in this county, ordering Peter Nisell, w ho is married to a Protestant, to get his child christened by the sign of the cross, on pain of death. It seems the infant being a female, Nisell permitted his wife to have it baptised by the Protestant Clergyman. A ter; nights since, a house in lionavaley, near Ath inne, was attacked by the 11,-)ckites, because the inmates did nor comply with their mandates. The occupier, a man of the name of Norton. made his escape through the midst of them, not before he received a cut from some insrument like a scythe on a pole, by which he lost a finger. They then entered the house, and most savagely treated a young woman, Norton's niece, whom they left in a pitiable situation. Six persons have been apprehended and lodged in ROSCOMM3II gaol, for the murder of Mr. Burns, near Athlone% Their names are Mulray, Daly, Ward, and two brothers of the name of Kileline, whose father was herd to Mr. Burns, and the sixth was servant to him, and is supposed to have betrayed his master. The neighbourhood of Westmeath, and in fact the greatest part of this county, is in such a distut bed state, that many respectable Protestant familiesare preparing to fly for refuge to towns where tt.e military are sta. tinned, and others have determined on setting off for England before the winter commences. The Protestants of this county are imperiously called on to form a union for their oNn protection. County meetings must be Immediately held. Protestants can no longer submit to insult and outrage, Saturday week a dreadful occurrence to. k place at Raspberry-hill, near Donemanagh, in the county of Derry. A farmer, named Rosborough, had, on that night, what is called e a churn;" that is, a merry snaking which generally follows the conclusion of the harvest, and at this churn had been John Callaghan, John Rodgers, and a number of others. In the course of the evening Callaghan, it appears, had evinced bad feel rag towards Rodgers, calling him opprobrious names, and telling him that all his 'e breed" were thieves and robbers. This, however, Rodgers did not resent, knowing, that if he did, he would probably be killed. About twelve at night he left Rosborough's, and appre bending, it is supposed, be might be badly treated, he asked Callaghan's wife and d 'tighter to convey him part of the way. They did so, and as they were proccd• ing, he said to them, that notwithstanding what had oc curred, he would fight any of their family, and insisted on going back. The wife, as we have heard, caught him and entreated him nrt to do so; but, disengaging hims• lf, he WAS met by John Callaghan, armed, as re port says, w ith a pair of tongs, by whom a violent blow was aimed at him. The consequence was melancholy, indeetl. Rodgers had his reaping -hook, and with it he struck Callaghan a fatal blow, immediately behind the ear. The point penetrated the skull. Tie unfortunate man never spoke afterwaris—he lingered till Tuesday Morning and espired. We understand that Rodgers was soon afterwards almost killed himself by the de ceased's two sons, who lay in wait for him, and alio getheit ignorant f what had happened to the father, beat him most dreadfully, inflicting seven cuts upon him, one of which nearly severed his arm from his body. We fear this deplorable affair originated in party spirit. The deceased was a Roman Catholic, and Rodgers is a Piote tans. Mr. Ellis, of this city, held an inquest on the body ; but there being no surgeon present to ascer tain if the wound was the cause of his death, the Jury had not all the evidence they' could have wished. The law makes no provision for tt e remuneration of profes sional men when they attend at inquests; and had Mr. Ellis employed one, the probability is he must have paid him himself. He had no reason to expect the Grand Jury would, as, from motives of economy, they greatly curtail the allowance to himself which the law authorises. The Jury's verdict was—e That the de ceased came by his death by a blow of a shearing-hook, inflicted on his head by John Rodgers.—Deny Journal.. MICHAELMAS IN DUBLIN. This festive day, delightful to all but the geese of the metropolis, was ushered in with the usual demon strations of delight on the part of the oyster venders of Dublin. At eleven o'clock, a gay and joyous cavalcade entered the city, and proclaimed that the rich stores of Malahide were unlocked, and that the fine fat and well flavoured oysters of Sutton were about to be lodged in the customary depositories. The cavalcade was of a most imposing description. Over the fore most cart floated the flag of Green Erin, with a harp, yellow in its hue and exquisite in its embroidery, flap ping its patriotic folding over the weather-beaten vi sage of an enthusiastic driver. The sixth cart sported the Union Jack, true semblance of loyalty, as a set off, we suppose, to any doubt which might be entertained from placing the Irish green at the head of the procession. A white flag, bearing an appropriate device, topped the last cart but one ; under which was seated a lovely Lady dealing out to her favourites the rich contents of a tierce of genuine October; and we had melody in abunJance, and the instruments were net of the first description. or made by the hands of Italian artists g but what was wanting in that particular was made up in enjoyment, and a pair of broken winded bagpipes, helped out with the soul-aspiring language of a cracked tambourine, and of a fiddle, made in any place but Italy, formed a concert, which gladdened the hearts of the multitude as much as any musical effort that ever was made within the walls of the Rotunda. We oh served, that in the minor flags pink was the prevailing colour, and that the exhilirating information that 44 Fresh Malahide oysters were to be had in countless myriads," formed the subject of the different inscriptions. The cavalcade proceeded in its slow but steady course to the various depositories, and at each hailed with; three cheers tte opening of the oyster year. Potati , ns, pottle deep, were poured out to the success of Sutton and Malahide, and the health of the Proprietors ; and after a gay, harmless, and happy day, the parties con cerned repaired, redolent of October and oyster juice, to a ball, which we have been informed WAS given by the Oyster Queen to her devoted subjects in her subter ranean villa in Abbey-street.. What happened there we do not pretend to know, as we never interfere with fa mily concerns. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA NSION-HOUSE. Yesterday morning Mr. Alley appeared before the Loan lloraeos with Mr. Wilkes witnesses, in order to point out the parties that ought to be held to hail for the recent alleged riot and forcibly en tering Mr. Wilks's house, when after examination his Lordship was clearly of opinion that De.' Mitchell was not one of the parties, for Whatever acts he might have done was after Mr. Verbeke had got possession of the house, &c. The parties recognised then gave bail. The LORD MAYOR (addressing himself to Mr. Wilks's party).— Then, now, I hope, I have done with this business? Mr. Alley believed he had. The LORD MAYORl"fhank Goo, I am delivered from the hands of Messrs. Wilk, and Verbeke"—(Loud itughtto). PERPETUAL Morton.—A thin dark-eyed person, passed the mid dle age, presented himself before the Loan MAYOR with a letter. The applicant was dressed in a sailor's jacket and trousers, and a check shirt, which was manifestly the gift of some charity, and had never been made' for him. The shirt front was open, and disclosed a meagre frame; and his sharp countenance was one which bore the appearance of being worn by mental labour rather than from want of food.—The letter (for he could not speak English) disclosed that be was the " Signore Dottore Francesco Aleglioli, Doctor of Criminal Laws, front Modena ;" and the writer of the letter, the Secretary to the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Dis tress, said that he had left Italy for the purpose of communicating to the learned in this country (who were the only persons who could appreciate grand discoveries), the discovery of a perpetual motion. When he applied for relief he had scarcely a rag to cover him. The Society humanely offered hint a passage back to Modena, front which place he had a certificate of his rank and character. He refused this, as he attached the utmost importance to the discovery which he imagines he has made. He strenuously pressed for an introduction to the Chief Magistrate, that through his means be might be introduced to the Admiralty, or some of the learned Societies with which this Metropolis is ornamented. The Loan Mavoa received the unfortunate individual with great kindness, and promised to have a private interview with the Secre tary of the Society of Foreigners in Distress on the subject. GUILDHALL. Mr. Hendricks Myers, who stated himself to be a ship agent in a considerable way of business, was summoned for having fraudu lently demanded and received the sum of ,e 1 15s. Mr. Windle, a ship and general agent, residing in New London street, said, on the 10th August the defendant came to their house with a Captain Vogt, Commander of a Danish vessel named the Johanna, Alinde, and said be had paid the pilot of the Juhannas Minds .82 10s. as distance money from Lowestoft* to Orfortiness, and other trifling sums on account of the vessel, amounting to Is. 3d. He drew up an account of these charges, and requested to be repaid. Jas. Palmer, the pilot, said, that on the 10th August the defendant paid him 15s. and 2s. 6d. thinking money, for piloting the vessel. Mr. Myers, in his defence, said that the charge originated in malice, as he was in considerable practice, and was ship-agent to at least sixty vessels. If he had done wrong it was through a mistake, and he had offered to refund the money. Mr. Alderman CROWSIR was of opinion, that a sufficient case for commitment bad been made out, but consented to take bail for de fendant's appearance at the Sessions. Dimness.—A poor African was brought in by Mr. Rogers, the chemist, at the corner of King-street, Cheapside, at whose shop he had been endeavouring to buy a halfpennyworth of arsenic, for the purpose, as he frankly admitted to the Alderman, of putting a period to his existence. He stated, that he should have been a Geutlentan in his native country, but when be was seven years old be was seized and carried off by the slave hunters, and, until seven years ago, he had been enduring the miseries of slavery in Rio Janeiro. He was then brought to England, got employment as a sailor, was at the siege of Algiers, but latterly could obtain employ neither at sea nor ott shore ; he had been twice thrown Into prison for begging —the last time for three months, and he had just regained his li berty. Afraid to beg, without a home, and with the proßpent of starvation before him, he sought to terminate his miseries at once. Mr. Alderman CROWDZIR endeavoured to sooth the poor fellow's mind, and convince hint of the wickedness of his intention, and di rected him to be taken care of until some arangement could be made for him. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Thomas Adcock Grintiall,Esq. of Judd Place, Kentish Town, for whose abduction his nephew, Charles Edward Gritidali and William Hunter, were arrested at Tunbridge Wells, by Lead beater ' the officer, and who were examined at this office on Monday night (as stated in the STAR of yesterday), appeared befote Sir Iticneato Baum in pursuance of a writ of Habeas Cbrims, which had been issued by the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, to have him brought up. The old Gentleman appears to be infirm in body, but in full possession of his mental faculties. On his entering the office, he was instantly recognised by Mr. Beckett, a County Magistrate, who was sitting on the Bench. Mr. Beckett shook hands with the old Gentleman very heartily, and asked him how he did ? Mr. Grindall replied, "Thank you, I am pretty well, con sidering all things; you and I are acquaintances of 50 or 60 years standing. Charles Edward Grindall, and William Hunter, the defendants, who had been brought from the watch-house, were placed at the bar. Mr. Grindall, senior, perceiving his nephew, raised up both his hands,sighed deeply, and shook his head rrpeatedly, without utter ing a word. Leadbeater was sworn, and he stated that he arrested the de fendants at Tunbridge Wells, on Sunday last, where he found Mr. Grindall, stn. in their custody, at a boarding-house. Sir RICHARD Blame: Pray, Mr. Hunter, by what authority have you assisted in carrying off this Gentleman from his house in London to Tunbridge Wells? Mr. Hunter —I acted in this affair entirely under the authority of Mr. Charles Edward Grindall, believing his uncle to be insane. Sir RICHARD Blanes—Why did you take your uncle away, Mr. Charles Grindall? what legal authority had you for forcing him from his home? _ Charles Edward Grindsll—l did it for his benefit; I thought a change of air wilild do him good, in his weak state of mind and body. Sir Riau RD DIRNIZ (addressing the old Gentleman)—l ask you, Sir, if you were not, for some time, confined in your house, and afterwards carried off against your consent to Tunbridge, by these defendants?—Mr. Grind" sen.—Certainly ; most cruelly, Sir— I did not like it at all. Sir Itscumin Marna—Fine treatment, indeed, for a Gentleman of his age and infirmities, to be dragged about in this abominable manner. Charles Edward Grindall—l have the authority of Dr. Barrows for asserting that my uncle is insane, and that it would be improper for him to be left in the custody of a female; and, for that reason, I engaged a keeper; I have sufficient evidence to enable me to sue out a Commission of Lunacy against him in Chancery. Sir Mesas]) Btasta—l again ask you by what legal authority you interfered in the way yon have done t—Charlea Edward Grindall. I had a right to interfere as heir at law. Sir RICHARD Btantz—Heir at law, forsooth ! Why the old Gen tleman has the power of disposing of his property to me, or to any other person he thinks proper. Mr. Grindall, senior—To be sure, I can • I acquired all my pro perty, in business, myself. My heir at law, indeed ! I can do what I please with my property. Charles Edward Grindall—l will take care of that ; I shall put it into Chancery, you may depend upon it. Sir RICHARD Baum—You were insane yourself.—Charles Ed ward Grindall. I never was; it is a story fabricated by my wife. It was my father who was insane. Sir It. Marna (addressing the old Genieman)—l ask you, upon your solemn oath, if you were not taken away forcibly, and against your consent, by the defendants ?—Mr. Grindall, sen. I was most certainly. Sir IL Stasnx—l will ask but one question more, Sir ; would you be apprehensive of any personal danger if your nephew was set at large?—filr. Grindall, sen. I am afraid to be wherever he is. Sir R.. Bums said, that the old Gentleman might withdraw as soon as he pleased. He then left the Office 'with Mrs. Grindall, the wife of the defendant. Sir B. atm Informed the defendants, that in this ease they must also give unexceptionable bail, and he should require twenty-four hours notice of the same. 6 Charles Edward Grindall-We bays nu ball at hand, Sir R. birnie, and have given notice of it'already. Pray what amount of %fret ies do you require? Sit It. 1311INSIt—To a very considerable amount ; some thousand of pounds ; but it will &prod upon the respectability of tile pat t 4. Charles Edward Grindall—We were informed last night by Mr. Adolphus, that two sureties in £250 each, and myself in £5OO. would he sufficient. Sir It. BIKNIV.—AI hat ! an heir-at-law to forty or fifty thousand pounds, to give security in seSt:o only. Perhaps Mr. Adolphus told you that you were heir •at-law, too. However, bring your bail for ward, and I will inquire into their responsibility. The ball not being in readiness, the defendants were remanded till after the other busihess of the Office had been disposed of. The parties were then ordered to find bail for the same amount as in the case of Mrs. Grindall. It appears that Hunter was the person who conveyed Mr. Grindall, sen. to Tunbridge Wells, on Thursday last, Mr. Charles Grindall having remained behind to arrange some necessary mat ters. The warrant was issued against the parties on Thursday evening; and Mr. Haddan having met C. Grindall, wished hint to walk as far as Bow.street in his company, in order to get him taken into custody ; but he was teo cautious to do so. Mr. Haddan then asked him what he had done with his uncle? and he an swered, that he was at Cambridge House, between Worthing and Brighton. He left town that evening; and on inquiring at his lodgings, it was found that he kft directions there, that all letters should be addressed to him, as " Captain Hutchins, Bolton House, Tunbridge Wells." With this clue, Leadbeater immediately proceeded to Tunbridge Wells, where he arrived on Sunday; but he was some time before he could trace the parties, as Bolton House was not a hotel, but a lodging-house.-- Ile heard by accident, that in consequence of a riot, some of the parish constables had been called upon to interfere, and on farther inquiry, he tliici.vered that the persons concerne d in the riot were the vety parties he sought for. It seems that a faithful friend of the old Gentleman, on whom he had depended for many years as a collector of his rents, and a sort of agent, hav ing heard of his bring brought to Tunbridge Wells against his will, immediately followed him to that place, accompanied by two or three friends ; and having aougbt him out, he insisted on being ad mitted to see hint. To this, however. Charles Grindall and Hunter would not, for obvious reasons, agrees A quarrel arose, which ended in a riot, to quell which the parts constables were called in, but not knowing the merits of the case, they did nut like to act in the bud ness. At this crisis Leadbeater artived at the scene of action, and armed with a warrant to take the parties into custady, he made no scruple to rush at once up stairs, and made Charles Grindall and Hunter his prisoners. The friends of the old Gentleman were then admitted, and his joy on finding himself free from the custody of his gaolers was very great. He expressed his gratitude to them and the officer in lively terms. A bottle of medicine was ordered from the apothecary for his use, but' , he • •tupled to take it, until he was assured that his gaolers had no band in composing it. Ott being assured by his friends that it would , do hint good, he said, that as he was now amongst his friends, be had no objection to take it, and sent away his dinner in order to follow their advice. He said that he had lived in continual fear of being poisoned, and the only -person on whom he could depend was the lady at whose house he lodged, who sheared him every possible de gree of attention and kindness. The old Gentleman, although verging on kis flOth year, and feeble in his limbs, has no appearance whatever I of insanity about him. He appears to be a remarkably kind hearted benevolent cid Gentleman. His nephew, Mr. Charles Grindall, has, it Appears, been residing with him for the last nine months, during which time he has, it is said, transacted money matters for his uncle to a considerable amount, and has bought and sold stack amounting to a very large sum. It is said, that the old Gentleman's property is considerably underrated at 50,0001. There is no such house, it appears, as Bolton I louse, and it was merely nanwel by Mr. C. Grindall to divert the attention of the parties to another quarter. COLLEGE-STREET POLICE-OFFICE, DUBLIN, &n. 30. A very extraordinary case was yesterday brought before the Ma. I gistt•ates of this office.. Couhsellor Glasser presided. A pawn of the name of Grace, a decent looking man, came forward and Charged an individual of the name of Bradshaw with firing a pistol at him on Thursday night, with an intent to rob him, as he, Grace, was walking down to lrishtown, where he bad his children living for the benefit of the water. Ile met Bradshaw near the gas.works, who entered into conversation with him, and after walking about fifty yards together, he presented a pistol and demanded his morey. Grace then made an elfort`to wrest the pistol out of Pradshaw's hands, in which he succeeded, when a second shot was fired at Grace, whose face is greatly marked with the posed, r. Grace per sisted in his identification of Bradshaw. A .Jr. Jackson, a very ~ l espectable inhabitant of Grafton-street, came forward and declared that he accompanied BradNhaw to the gas-works, on the way to Iri►htown—that be had been cautioned by a woman he met that four suspicious men were before them—that he, Jackson, was arm ed with a case of pistols, and he gave a dirk to Bradshaw—t bat he kept the case of pistols in his possession, and which were never dis charged ; that he walked the entire way with hint, and that nothing of that kind could have occurred without his knowledge. Mr. Jackson is a respectable man, and would not he likely to state that which was not correct. Grace persevered in his statement, his in formations were taken, and Bradshaw committed fur trial at the neat Commission By the arrival of the Woodbridge at Portsmouth from Sierra Leone, we are informed of the lamentable fact of the death of the Captain and several of the crew previously ta her leaving that place ; and that six of. :he remaining par t of the crew died dm ing the voyage. Letters have been received from Newfoundland of tl.e sth of September. The heat of the weather had been so extreme there, that the guar thy of merchantable fish would be very small, when compared with the trt 41 amount of fish taken. The price for good salted fish was I Is. 6J. per quintal. The late rains have so much improved the grass and turrips in most pits of the kingdom, that all tears of a sca:city'of either teem now at an end. L 14 week some persons in endeavouring to destroy a hornet's nest, in a yew -tree, in South Stoneham church-yard, near Southampton, set fire to the tree, which was entirely consumed; and for some time con sieerable apprthensions were entertained for the safety of the church itself. A whimsical return appears in the Mauritius Gazelle of the 10th June last. It is printed by order of Govern. ment, and in pursuance of a proclamation, made in F. binary, 1825, for the destruction of rats and birds, which form the plague of the island. The rats' tails from eight districts amount to the almost incredible number of 830,473, and the birds' heads to 238,549 in one twelvemonth. The document, which is no unim oportant one, is signed G. A.. BARRY, Chief Secretary of the Government. _ _ During a trial which lately took place in the country, a respectable though not very ostentatious-looking Gen tleman, occupied the , witness box, devotedly awaiting a cross•examination.• - 14 Pray, Mr. Ottiwell Wood, said the opposing Counsel, " how do you spell your name ?" "Oh ! Sir," replied Mr. Wood, " very easily —a lesson in it is ♦ery much at your service." "Come, Sir, don't be impertinent—let his Lordship hear it." The witness proceeded thus trippingly " 0 double t, i double u, e double I ; double u, double o, d!" The Barrister looked confounded—the Court and Jury laughed, and Mr. Ottiwell Wood's evidence was suf- Erred to pass as unshakeable. CROYDON FAIR.—The weather having been favour able to a trip from London to Croydon Fair, the roads yesterday morning were thronged with carriages of almost every description. Brixton Hill, between nine and ten o'clock, displayed one chain of gigs, carts, and sociables. The show of horses this year has not been so good as it usually is. Many of the mu:mewed articles from town were recognised by the London visitors who went to buy. The arrangement of the amusements ani booths for the sale of toys in the fair-field offer little novelty. Walnuts, very large and good. Madame de Coyle gave a grand dinner a few days ago, at her seat at St.•Ouen.

A young Lady, says the Dublin Patriot. named Shiel, WAS committed to Monaghan gaol on Tuesday week, charged with the murder of Wiggins, in Clones fair. At the Lindon Sesions, yesterday, John Ryan, who, it will be recollected, wits committed for cutting the clothes of some young females at Bartholomew Fair, was found guilty, and sentenced to two months' im. prisonment in the House of Correction. The Swedish vessel Catherine, Hansen, from Guern sey to Antwerp, has been seized at Flushing, in conse quence of trading contrary to the Navigation Laws of HollanJ, which allow only goods, the produce of Swe den, to be imported into Holland by Swedish vessels. A great deal of business was done last Saturday in the Piece H4ll, at Halifax, without any material alter ation in prices. The recent sale of goods have set a number of shuttles in motion, that have long been idle. There k now some demand for prime Kentish fleeces, some lots of which sold in Canterbury last Saturday for ten guineas, which a short time since could scarcely find purchasers at 71. Gt.asoow, Seer. 30.—There has been a very good demand for Cotton in our market this week, which was occasioned more by the improved state of the Liver pool Cotton market. than by any improvement in the prices of cotton yarn. The sales are at an advance of about per lb. and amount to 1,420 bales. The state of the iron trade in the great mining dis tricts of Monmouthshire and South Wales is said to be worse than it has been for many years. The prices of some descriptions of iron are nut, indeed, much lower than they have been at former periods of distress; but they are lower in proportion to the rate of wages than perhaps they ever were. It appears, by an article from the Gazette de Lyon, that the manufacturers at Lyons are in the greatest dis. tress; the warehouses are glutted, and it is said that wages are so low, that it would perhaps be better for the workmen to remain unemployed. Abundant aid from the Government is called for, to enable the work men to exist. DIED.
