LIMERICK, OCTOBER 25. trerything here looks iike a campaign. Flying winery is coining in, and a battalion of the Rifle Brigade is on its march to this place. The report is, t h a t the disturbers are soleMnly bound by oaths, and that there will be sin illarniers, and without informers the military force will be paralyzed. This morning, one of the 42d Regiment, on his march from hence to Rathkeale, having fallen out from his party, who had not at the time, been above tbreehundred yards in front, was attacked by a party of fellows, who jumped from behind a ditch, near Loughmore, one of whom struck him with a spade across the temple, and took from him his musket, bayonet, accoutrements, and ammunition. The aims were also taken from two others, on their march, this week, in the neighbourhood of Rathkeale. Whilst the Police and a party of the 40th Regi ment were patrolling the vicinity of Askeaton on Sa turday night, they were attacked at Rock Abbey by a continued fire; in a short time, they came up with a large body of insurgents, who, without much cere mony, attacked the military, but on returning the Are, the deluded peasantry decamped in all direc tions. One of the Police, named Maeglin, was badly wounded, as was also one of the insurgents, who was observed to fall, but was carried away by his asso ciates. The total darkness of the night prevented the Military and Police from making any prisoners. It rumoured that Captains of Companies of the Regiments now at Rathkeale and Newcastle, will be appointed Magistrates of this County. A notice of a most diabolical nature, signed " Cop- Ma John Rock," was posted on the gate of Mr. Lea ke, tf the Abbey, near Rathkeale, on Sunday night : it =taken down next morning by the Police. A no- *signed " Captain Thiukwcil, Road Surve yor, and Canty Ranger," calling on the parishicniers of Bally. key, in this county, to meet on Sunday, relative to takes, was generally posted on Saturday. The assem ilage was, however, prevented by the appearance of among military force on the ground. This morn iag, thirty Dragoons, with peace-officer Smith, left Lthkeale for Croom, to prevent an illegal meeting, alative to tithes, which it was intended to hold in 14 neighbourhood this day. The Fad of LAUDERDALE'S health being perfectly tetstablithed, his Lordship is preparing to leave Scotland for town. Wednesday, the LORD Paovosr, Magistrates, and Conseil of Edinburgh, conferred the Freedom of the City on Rear-Admiral ROBERT \TALLER OTWAY. The Duke of HAMILTON and BRANDON has gene rously granted to the tenants of his Grace's Arran &tate, abatements out of their rents of crop 1820, to the amount of Tbree Thousand Pounds. The Half-yearly Ball of the Highland Assembly rf London was held in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, altar:day last. The attendance of Members was eery full; the Gentlemen were generally dressed in it complete Highland costume ; the Ladies came *the Ball-room in elegant tartar. plaids. Dancing commenced at nine, and it was kept up with a spirit vhich is perh a p s known only to Highlanders, till six '..the morning. The Stewards had provided every mfreshment, and bad it supplied in the finest style. lithe course of the evening. an elegant Dirk, splen idly mounted, was presented by the Assembly to MUNRO, their Secretary, in consideration of his Huduous and su ccess f u l exert i ons i n promot i ng t h e ducts of the Assembly. Those plaids for the manufacturing of which Kil marnock has lately become celebrated, were greatly it demand at the last Leipsic Fair; so much so, that the whole stock brought into the market was quickly bought ap, aid orders to a great amount given for !ban The carpet trade is, at present, unusually brisk ; imp orders are in hands for the American market. an the garden of Itosebank, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, strawberry-beds at present are co ,,.vlred, with a profusion o f bl ossom ; a nd ape fruit, 'neat and deliciou s flavour, were gathered 41 t wePk in considerable quantities. This is a more remarkable proof of the mildness of the present wea than anything we have yet heard of. Several Pule-trees are again in blossom; but this circum vice is not so rare. LAW CU A Nots.—The following changes are about take place in the Scotch Law Courts :—Sir JOHN OAST, Bart. retires in consequence of bad health, d is to be succeeded by the LORD A DVt.cATE, whom INce HOME DRUMMOND, Esq. M.P. is to succeed; Lord BANNATIINR also retires, and will be suc d by the SOLICITOR GENERAL, who, again, is to succeeded by Joas HOPE, Lsq. son of the Loam rtanzir. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT NEWCASTLE: FURTHER PARTICULAR& • At eight o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, the neighbourhood of Wall's-end Colliery (Russell's) was alarmed by an explosion of inflammable air, in the A pit of that extensive Colliery. The greatest exertions were instantly made by Mr. BUDDLE, the viewer, to save, if possible, the lives of the men who were at th.tt time working in the pit, and as Soon as it was practicable, he descended with his assistants, when a most melancholy scene presented itself. Of fifty-six workmen who were to the pit, nearly fifty were found dead, some severely injured, though still alive, and only two men unhurt. By ten o'clock they succeeded in raising some of the bodies to bank, 'and as by that time nearly six hundred persons, most of them relations and friends of the deceased, had collected round the pit, a most heart-rending scene of distress ensued. 01 those who were brought up with life, only two now survive, but their recovery is doubtful—thus making the number of sufferers, on this most awful occasion, amount to fifty-two. The bodies of the deceased were most dreadfully scorched, and many of them strangely distorted.— Many of them have left wives and families, and what adds to the calamity, several of the widows are at this moment pregnant; as the deceased were very generally related to each other, the depth of distress which has been caused in that neighbourhood by this calamity, may be more easily imagined than de. scribed. The funerals of the deceased took place on Thursday afternoon, Is hen forty-six were buried at Wall's-end, fourteen of whom, being relations, were buried in one grave; some of the remainder were buried at the Ballast Hills, and some at Wall's-end old Church. A great concourse of people assembled to witness the melancholy ceremony, which was of the most affecting description. Most of the men from the adjacent Collieries attended as mourners or as sistant,. The following_ are the names of the un happy sufferers: Moon, and his sons Michael and Alexander; Ed ward and John Shotton, brothers; Richard Heppell, senior, and Richard Ileppen, je♦n. father and son; William end John Hut • ton, brothers; David and William Smart, brothers; John and William Johnson, brothers; Thomas and Christopher Waigot, brothers; George Penlington and his nephew John Penlingthn ; Edward and William Wilson, brothers; John Norman, Wil liam Jackson, W. Rogerson, Roger Boddie, H. Bolam ; H. and It. Bowden, brothers; William Bell, sen. and William Bell, jun. fads r and sun; George Kyle. James Walker, John Gordon, Geor, ; e Mason, T. Lowrie, T. Davison, John Birtley, James Kelly, George Thompson, S. Garret, John Elliott, George Long. staff, Nicholas English, Edward Campbell, William Colon, Thomas Holt, Peter Hay, Robert Delap, John Richardson, Ro bert Bainbridge, James Jobling, John Farry, John Smith, and George Ro.eby. Most of them were young men ; one of diem has kit eight children, and another seven.—Edward Coomby and W. Johnson yet continue ill. Thomas Huggup and Robert Bell fortunately escaped. How the melancholy accident originated is not known. It took place in what is called the Belcher Seam, which has only lately begun to be worked.— I The workings, it is understood, extend as yet only one hundred yards. and on the night preceding were considered in a perfectly safe state. Whether the deceased men were using safety lamps or candles at the time, is not yet a%certained, but it is believed they were provided with both. Their bodies were all found near the bottom of the shaft, as if they had been attempting to escape, and all the waste-men were found lying together, from which it has been supposed that they %sere in the act of consultation, when ovens helloed by the blast. The two men who escaped unhurt were the furthest in the pit, and be yond the spot where the fire originated ; after the explosion took place they succeeded in gaining the shaft, and by climbing up the brattice, or partition erected in it for the purpose of ventilation, preserved themselves flora the fatal effects of the after•damp. By the violence of the blast a full corf was blown up the shaft, and thrown over the pulleys, erected above the mouth of the pit. The explosion was heard as far off as Whitley. The depth of the seam where the men were working is 130 fathoms. An Inquest was on Wednesday held on the bodies, by S. REED, Esq. and the verdict was, that " the suf ferers accidentally came by their deaths, by an explo. sion of hydrogen gas in the workings of the colliery." On Thursday afternoon they were decently buried in Wall's-end Church-yard, at the expense of the owners 'of the colliery, who presented each family with a guinea for present use, and will afford them houses, 'fuel, &c. as long as they may need them ; but there is little doubt that the benevolence of the Public will on this, as on other occasions of a similar nature, step forward to alleviate, as far as pecuniary benevolence can alleviate, the anguish of this unhappy and long train of mourners. CARLISLE, OCTOBER 27. Saturday evening, as Mr. WARWICK was proceed ling, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, on his return from this city to Mortonhead, when about half a mile from Caldewgate he was shot at, but the ball not taking effect, three villains rushed upon him, with whom he had a dreadful struggle, I but was, after great exertion, and having received, many severe wounds on his head and body, felled to' the ground. The villains then robbed him of his pocket book, containing five one guinea notes of the firm of Forster and Co. of Carlisle, and some other papers; and from his pockets they likewise took a watch and a few shillings in silver. Not content with obtaining all the valuables the poor man possessed, they en deavoured to break his legs, which they seriously in jured, ar.d then left him unaSle either to walk or stand. After he had laid a short time on the ground, he was discovered and conveyed to the house of Mrs. Cowan, the Queen's Head, in Caldewgate, when me dical assistance was immediately procured; and in the course of the night he was so far recovered as to enable him to be removed to his house, at Commersdale. The house of Mr. J. ALEXANDER, in Princes-street, Bristol, was entered between eight and ten o'clock on Tuesday evening, and property stulen amounting to L'2o, chiefly wearing apparel belonging to Mr. ALEXANDER'S niece. The reversion of the beautiful and very valuable property of Hestercombe. near Taunton, was sold last week by order of. the Court of Chancery, when Sir T. B. LaIIUIRIDGE, Bait. was declared the pur chaser, at £31,000, subject to the biddings being opened at an advanced price, according to the rules of the Court.

PEDESTRIANISM. In the church-yard of Oswestry, on Friday se'onight, a pedes trian feat was performed by a stranger, who voluntarily walked fifty miles in seven hours and a half, being two hours and a half within the time proposed. The accomplishment of this task was hailed by the multitude with acclamations, and the man went to the Bell Inn, where the Grand Jury were at dinner; he received a just reproof from some of those Gentlemen on the uselessness of his pursuit, and his effrontery in soliciting their assistance. About 15s. were collected for him. He was to I I have had a three hours walk around the same burial-ground on hlsnday se'nnight, but the officiating Minister very properly prevented it. The lion.

There were above of Sir FRANCIS Bum:in-es tenants present.

Yesterday the Police Office, at Union Hall, was crowded with friends and spectators, awaiting the examination a the sixteen persons, mho, as we men tiontd yesterday, were taken by 114;1, and several other officers of this Office, at a gaming -house, No. 14, in the Lambeth-toad, on Saturday night last, between nine and ten o'clock, when they were sur. prised, and found in the act of playing at the unlaw ful game of rouge d noir. Among the group appre hended were recognised some respectable persons.— The Bench of Magistrates consisted of ROBERT . CHAMBERS, Esq. Sir J. PINHORN, ROBERT HEDGER, Esq. SOLOMON DAVIS, Esq. and DAVID Kiwo, Esq. Hall, the officer, stated, that on Saturday night, between nice and ten o'clock be went to the house of one Andrew Barnett, No. 14, Lambeth-road. A Gentleman, with whom Hall bad bad some communication previously. went to the door and knocked. At that moment a young man dressed in a very fa shlamable style, came up, and rang the hell, upon which a voice called out Who there ?" A small hole in the door was opened, and a young Lady, having examined the countenance of the person demanding admittance, ordered th- door-keeper, Lumley. to unchain the door. The door being opened, the wit nest and Glennon, who bad been lying on the ground, started up, and rushed into the house, followed by Mr. Reeves, Mr. I Staples, and five officers. Glennon directly threat his handker chief into the door-keeper's mouth, and put handcuffs on him, to prevent him from ringing the alarm-bell. Witness ran up stairs, and upon pushing against the door of the room in which the play was supposed to be going on, met with a stoat resistance.— Ile drew his cutlass, forced the door open, and entered the room, which was foil. The company were seated moat of them mend a rouge et noir table; Barnett, the proprietor, was dealing the cards ; and Callaghan, the Croupier, was sitting opposite to him, with a number of cards before him. The moment they saw the witness they all started up and the greatest confusion prevailed. No resistance whatever was attempted, but several begged for mercy's sake to be permitted to depart to their wives and chil dren: Most of those engaged in the office of putting a finishing blow to this concern were now in the room, and most of the company werekandeuffed. Callaghan, by a desperate effort, got out of the house, but he ran against a post, and was taken.— The back dew and windows had been secured by the officers so effectually, that every man in the house became a prisoner. Upon the entrance of witness, a grab had been made at the bank, but be secured the contents, which only amounted to 45. 6d. Mr. Hamm, who attended for some of the prisoners, state, that the officers had exceeded their duty in handcuffing several Gentlemen, who had gone to the house merely for amusement. Mr. Cnastsam observed, that in such an extremity the officers could not have been expected to make any distinction between persons. All who were found in such places deserved to be treated with indignity. Mr. Hai tea said, there was no Act of Parliament against the game of range et twin. Mr. Cnaseseas said, it was enough for him that the game was injurious to the fortunes and morals of society. • He should act upon the evidence as if hazard were the game played. Hall said, that the game of rouge a noir ended at ten o'clock at night, and that Inward then commenced, and continued till morning, and often for successive days and nights. There were six packs of cards upon the table, all of which were deficient. The deficiency was, he understood, made for the purposes of fraud. After the parties in the play-room had been handcuffed, witness proceeded to search the lower part of the house. Upon going into the coal-hole, witness heard a very hard breathing, but could see nothing but coals : he was aware that whoever lay concealed must have su'ff'ered severely, for the labours above stairs had occupied three hours, during which period the con cealment mast have taken place. The officer rattled his cutlass against the wall, and swore there was not an inch of the cellar that he would not dig up with the point of it, if be who lay hid there did not spew himself. He had no sooner uttered these words, than the coals at the upper end began to move, and a human being appeared, with a face as black as his situation could possibly make it. The officer, as soon as he had cleared away the stuff whith prevented the disguised person from seeing or speaking, recognised in him the performer of " The Later" at one of the small Theatres. The acquaintance was attempted to be Improved upon the part of the son of Thespis, who declared most solemnly that be lad not called to play at any game, but that his business was merely to pay a visit to Miss Barnett. The player not having at all appeared during the night in a higher de partment than the coal-hole character in the house, was permit ted to go. The upstairs gentlemen were all brought off, and lodged in places of security, the Magistrates having informed them that those who had bail might go at large ; but those who had not should be committed as rogues and vagabonds to Brix ton House of Correction. The names of those who were found at the house were An drew Batmen (the proprietor), George Callaghan (croupier), William Jafflin (groom-porter), William Lumley (door-keeper), James Groom, William Price, David Huth, Samuel Bond, James Miller, John Wall, Edward Smith, Charles Hatchwell, Michael &ephens, John Thompson, John Cagan, Frederick Stanley, John Thwaits, and Thomas Mitchell. _ _ Barnett and Callaghan were ordered to find sureties, them. selves in E2OO each, and two sureties of £lOO each ; the other prisoners £lOO each, with two securities of £.lO each. The rouge et noir and haaard tables, with the whole of the ap. paratus, are at the Office. Brut sold the C. 50,000 Prize drawn this Morning, This looks well, and augurs that he will, as he did when there were three £30,000 before, Sell them All!!! Friday, as the game-keeper of Nlr. THOMAS WHITE, ofWalling-wells, Lincolnshire, was looking out for poachers, he seized a man with a fowling-piece—in the scuffle the gun went off, and the contents entered the game-keeper's body, who expired soon after, leav ing a widow and five young children. CHARLES BALL, the Barrister, was plaintiff in a horse cause in Ireland, which was tried by Lord Non a UAL As a last resource, the defendant's Counsel called Mr. E. Swim whose evidence being decisive against him, the Judge said, " I think, brother, you have now lost your cause with a witness." CHARLES, the haughty Duke of SOMERSET, sent for &vinous, the painter, to Petworth, to paint a room with portraits of his running horses, and at dinner drank to him with a sneer, "Cousin Seirmouit, your health."—" My Lord," rerlied the painter, " I do really believe I have the honour of belonging to your Grace's family." The Dute, offended at this freedom, ordered his steward to pay SEYMOUR, and dismiss him. Another painter was sent for, and find ing himself unequal to finish SEYMOUR'S pictures, honestly acknowledged it, and recommended the Duke to recall SEYMOUR. The haughty Peer conde scended to summon his cousin once chore, when SIM. xtouß wrote, " My Lord Duke, I will now prove that I am of your Grace's family—/ will not come." Loan Essex.—A trait of great magnanimity is recorded of this Nobleman. The hatred between him and Sir WALTER RALEIGH IS well known.-- When Sir WALTER had landed at Fayal, in the island of Madeira, in direct opposition to th e pre cise commands of Lord Essex, who commanded in that Expedition, his Lordship being pressed by some of the Officers to bringhim to a Court Ma r ti a l, no bly replied, " I would do it immediately if be were not mine enemy; ANECDOTE.—The present King of FRANC; hear ing, a few days ago, that the Archbishop of Nara nas at the point of death, said, " II nest que mon avant courier." When the celebrated Earl of Cuss- TERFI Ku) one morning, not long before a his death, was going to take an airing in his coach and four, he said to the late Mr. JURNINGHAM, whom he invited to join him at dinner, "this parade, my trieud, is only the rehearsal of my funeral."
