Ills body was picked up is about a quarter o. an hour afterwards, but animation was totally eztiu;;ui•hcd. The followi►►g i. an extract of a letter from Hali fax, dated December 8 :—" It was stated some time since in a Mo:►deal Paper, that the Commissioners appointed to settle the boundary line could not agree; we can now state, that the above information is not correct : the Commissioners came down by the last steamboat as fir as West Point; and, from the in formation we have received, there is no doubt of the two parties agreeing. It is of great importance to the inhabitants of the frontiers, on both sides, that the kotindary line should be known ; at present, consi derable excitement exists on the northern frontier. In one instance, an island in the river St. Lawrence, called Carleton Island, had been leased to Mr. C. SAITII, and the Postmaster-General had established a Post-office on the island, of which Mr. S. was Post master: he had erected a number of buildings on the island, and made considerable improvements in agriculture, &c. A short time ago, Mr. lIMAISMAN, the Collector of the Customs at Kingston, went to Carleton Island, with a party of officers, and took from Mr. SMITH a large quantity of merchandize, seizing it in behalf of the Crown, on the ground that the island belonged to Great Britain." The following melancholy event took place, a few days ago, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool :—A person of the name of Hunt, recently went to reside in a new built house, at itainl►ill, and for several nights his three sons, who slept in an upper room, in vzhioh there was a fireplace but no grate, had a tire kindled in it : on Sunda•, the 9th instant, they did hot come down to brealdast at the usual hour, but as they had no business to do on that morning, it ex- Cited no surprise. In a short time, however, Mrs. Hunt went to their bed-room, and had the heart rending affliction of beholding them all lifeless! Their deaths had been produced by suffocation. It appeared that the door of the room, which had been formerly left open, was on this night closed, and the humidity of the room, it is supposed, prevented the smoke from ascending by the chimney. From tl►e posture in which the bodies were fcamd, only one of them ap pears to have been awoke to their terrible situation, who was so overpow•ei ed ft on: the effects of the effluvia, that his head was only partly raised. They were of the respect;ve ages of 14, 19, and 24. They were in terred at Farnworth Church, and their funeral was atteailed by the most numerous concourse•of specta tors ever witnesses' its that past of the Country. • j f kk, where ear sgr aished, sine mired sentence A lready executed, - Pinned to the 15 once a month w 1 .

The Commission for the County of Limerick, on Friday, passed sentence of death on seven men, and then adjourned to the 12th of January. The men thus sentenced were— Martin Grady and John Grady, for forcibly taking a sword from Mr. Morgan. Thomas Kelly and Michael Kelly, for forcibly taking two guns from the late Mr. Snarling. John Histon and John Mullane, for assaulting Mr. eilly's house. Timothy Shea, for taking a mare in the night time. The Learned Judge (Baron M'CLELLAND) passed sentence in a most impressive manner, in which the feelings of the man overcame the firmness of the Judge. All were melted ; the prisoners frequently implored " a long day," " only a fortnight," " a week !" It was impossible—for (as the Learned Baron afterwards observed, when he had recovered his power of utterance) to suspend their sentence rested not with him. The prisoners are all married men, save only Histon —they leave nearly 30 children to lament their crimes. Five of these men are to be hanged at Newcastle, on Monday, the 31st inst. and two at Shanagolden, on the 8d of January. Four have been already exe cuted, or in all, eleven men will have expiated their crimes by death, before the 4th of next month. The City of Limerick Commission, on Friday, passed sen tence on two more, for robbing of arms, and they were ordered for execution this day. The ten men who were put on their trial for a misdemeanour at New castle, were found Guilty. Notwithstanding these awful examples of the power and vengeance of the law, the misguided peasantry are still active in the search for arms. Tuesday night, Mr. WrifeALAN'S house, at Glenogra, near Mount Prospect, was attacked by a large party of the ban ditti, who obtained a musket and a sword. The dwel- ling-house of a man named MoLoNY, at Grey b ridge, was also searched, but as he bad not arms, the ser vant was sworn to provide money for purchasing ammunition by the next time they should visit - the house In the village of Kilteely, the house of GCERIN, a publican, was searched, and not finding arms, the banditti insisted for money. Thursday night a party visited the houses of JOHN and Micnaat. Slatiose, near Bruree. They searched for arms, and none being found, they received money, and then retired firing shots. On the preceding night fifteen houses in the parish of Dromin were attacked, and the ruffians demanded arms and money. When disappointed, they swore the proprietors to send a pound note each to a place which they named. On Saturday morning, the house of the Rev. T. MAIM SELL, of Ballybrood, was attacked for arms. When he denied having any, they insisted for money, and he was obliged to hand out a thirty shilling note to save his house from conflagration. Three other houses in that neighbourhood were also attacked, and searched for fire•arms. Wednesday last, the Coroner held an Inquest on the body of Owen Cullinane, at Rockhill, near Bru me, when a verdict of wilful murder was found against a marauding party. It appeared that this brave man, with the assistance of hi. brother, suc ceeded in keeping out the assailants, but, in the con flict, he received three gun-shot wounds, which ter minated his life on Tuesday last, atter suffering great agony.—At Abbeyfeale, two Inquests were held last week, first, on the body of John Kelly, who was killed by Matthew Connell with a blow of a tongs in an affray about a pig; and next, on Johanna Keafe, who was ac cidentally shot by a soldier of the 40th Regiment. A few nights ago, two working bullocks were stolen off the lands of Park, near Shanagolden; they were the property of JOHN MORGAN, Esq. late of the 12th regiment, who has lost six acres of oats and a quantity of flax in consequence of the dreadful system of horror which dr,: midnight ruffians have inspired by directing that no person should work for this Gentleman, because his family had the praiseworthy spirit to effectually beat off a banditti in a late attack on their dwelling. Thursday, Michael Halloran, aged 24, and Mi chael Fitzgerald, aged 26, were hanged at Gallows green, fur being of a party of Whiteboys, who, whilst going to attack the house of Mr. Ivis, near Askeaton, fired on the Police, when THOMAS MAN NING was mortally wounded. The culprits exhibited the greatest contrition, and, through the Clergyman, exhorted their *retched countrymen to give up fire. arms, illegally possessed, and to abstain from nightly meetings. After hanging the usual time, their bodies were sent to the County Hospital. The following notice was posted on Thursday last, between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, in the stable of Rushy Park, near Tarbert, the residence of HECTOR GRAHAM, Esq. half-pay 60th Regiment : " You are hereby noticed by Captain John Rock, commanded by General Starlight, an the pains of life to quit Rushy Park, as Scatch Ruffian should daunt us by his boastings. By your elat ing our Commands we will spare your life, if not we shall Met you with 2, or 3 hundred men well disciplined and supplied, we should not be willing to injur a worthy young Gentleman as Ms. Lennard, we shall give you a fortnights notice." The following is a copy of a notice posted in Castle Connel : " Inhabitants of Castle Connel, beware ! the time is not yet, but will soon come, when you will receive a sudden and terrible blow, and Castle Connel will perish trout its lowest foundation, in a few days, " When you in ruins will be buried, " And to the k,west pits be ferried! " No Proctors, no Peelers, no Tithes, no Taxes, small Meaty and Erin go bragh I (Signed)—" Oliver Moonshine, Commander in Chief, Major I Shun the Day, Captain Hock, Lieut. Starlight, Ensign Dark ness, Serjeant Killproctor, Commander of 95,000 men. On the othet side of the notice, the following ap peared, written in a curious character, and the spel ling in the following liliculous manner r " Limerick County, Member. " Sir—l have sine this as a Caution to you, that you may tali warneng herby, well tak the owth of alledgance and you will be pertected by your umbil serviat, " CAPTAIN ROCK. " By otder of Oliver, Commander in chief." In consequence of these threatening notices, a Meet ing was held at Castle *Connel, at which the Hon. Colonel FasorsaoN presided, when It was resolved to apply to the Commanding Officer in Limerick for a party ci military to assist the police in patroling the environs of the city. Since this Meeting a further notice was posted at Castle Connell, signed Captain Rocitedesiring the in • habitants not to hold any c ommunication with either police or military, on pain of death by a slow ire, and directing thattio iente; tikes or riches, should be paid.—Limerick CArosticle. WHITEBOY ARMS VOLITIViAItILY DBLIOTrttBD UP IN KERRY. The following letter we received this morning fidn I Friend at Listowel, is of a most 'gritifying nature, and the exertions of Doctor Ciruica and his family are beyond all praise : " lanowar., Fat Dar Emma, DMII3IIIII 21. a I have great sadsfaetion in giving you the important news I of a voluntary surrender of Wisiteboy arms, to Dr. Custacw, a /Magistrate of the County Kerry, this day. I shall ieee the post If I enter much into the particulars—they were promised to him about a fortnight since from this day, and the promise has been performed. This is the first instance of an earnest and sincere intention to return to peace and good order again. Dr. Cnoacn went unattended by any one but his son and Mr. Knsos : they proceeded into the mountains, about ten miles from Listowei, to a place bordering on the County of Limerick, and in a direc tion between Abbeyfeale and Castle-Island, and touching on Knocknagoshil, the property of Lord Drafty. I should not be so particular in describing the place, but that it appears to be material, as it was the first part of this County which was infested from Limerick, and from which issued too those bands that en tered into our plains for the plunder of fire-arms; they got 15 stand, all in good condition, and move promised to be brought in: among those given up is the one taken from Mr. Hawsns, the night of the attack upon his house. I need add no more than to say, that they have invited Dr. Caesar, to their parish Chapel of Knocknagooll, to administer to them the Oath of Allegiance--a happy change from the oath bj which they had before bound others."—Limerick Onenide, Der.l22. A double-barrelled gun, taken by the Whiteboys a few weeks Ago from the house of JOHN HARNETT, Esq. of Bridgmount, near Listowel, was restored to him on the mountain of Barn, near Newcastle, a few days ago, by a man on the high-road, who delivered it 4d with Captain Rock's compliments." COUNTY OF CORK. On the night of Sunday, the 16th, a detachment quartered at Newmarket, in scouring the country, interrupted a party of marauders in the mountains, and succeeded in taking one man, another it is said was killed, and one mortally wounded. Mathew Con nell, a notorious offender, and a principal leader, against whom informations were lodged, was seized by Wm. ALLEN and GEORGIC Puacett, Esqrs. two most active Magistrates. The ruffian was sent to the County Jail. On the same night that this man was apprehended, Mr. ALLEN'S dairy-house, at Clashroe, was burned, several of his cattle killed, and various other outrages committed on his property. The laudable exertions of this Gentleman to suppress the marauding parties may be deemed the cause of their resentment. COUNTY OF KILDARE Several outrages which seem to be connected with the tumultuary spirit now so prevalent in the south of Ireland, have occurred in the course of the present month in the county of Kildare. On the night of the 7th inst. an armed party went to a farm house in the parish of Downings, Barony of Clane, which is occupied by Mr. Joni./ SMITE, from whom they took a gun. After one of the party had fired a shot, they proceeded to the house of one JAMES Dowzu.y, who lives near Mr. Sm tries place of residence. from whom they took w blunderbuss. One of the party fired a shot into DONELLY'S house, and ordered the rest to " shoulder their arms." They then departed. On the night of the 11th instant, a party went to a house occupied by an old woman, a widow, in the parish of Carough, aad Barony of Clane, horn whom" they took a gun and a pistol. On the night of the 16th instant, a party went to the house of another woman, who lives in the parish of Carough, and took from her a gun. They pro ceeded from her house to Ballyvollan, where they broke into the house of a man of the name of Curt- TON, from whom they demanded his fire-arms, but' did not obtain any. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yoste left York House at two o'clock yesterday Morning, for the Earl of WESTMORLAND'S, at Apthorp. Wednesday se'nnight, the Hon.

The Noble Mar quis left on Monday for Worcester : previously to his departure, he caused an elegant scroll to be pre sented to Mr. REILLY, on which his arms, crest, and supporters, are most beautifully emblazoned, under which his name, style, titles, and Vice-regal rank are inscribed. The Duke of WELLINGTON spends his Christmas with the Earl of WESTMORLAND, at Apthorp House, Northamptonshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of LONDONDERRY are enjoying their holidays with their relative, Lady SUFFIELD, at her seat, Suffolk. The Count and Countess LIEvEN gave a grand dinner yesterday, to several Foreigners of distinc tion; among whom was the Baron MALTZAHN, with the Baroness and Baron WERTHER, who have lately arrived in this country. The Duke of BEAUFORT keeps open house at Wor cester Lodge, near Badminton, Gloucestershire. The Earl and Countess of ROSEBERRY are at their seat near Edinburgh, enjoying the festivities of the season with a select party of friends. The Earl of LIVERPOOL is expected at Fife House, this day, from Bath. Lord BURGHERSH left town yesterday, to resume his diplomatic situation at Florence. At the late audit of the Rev. J. C.

KlNLEsrar., at Angrnering, yesterday sennight, ten per cent. was deducted from the tithes of that parish, and that of Poling. • Last night, Shackell's Reading coach, on coming into town, stopped at the White Horse Cellar, and, while the coachman alighted, the horses started off at full speed along Piccadilly, and were not stopped till they had reached Ss. Ann's Chinch, in Princes street. One Gentleman was on the outside, and two females inside, who kept theieseats, and received no other injury than the alarm. Neither the coach nor horses received any damage, and they passed the whole distance without causing any accident. TFIE ARMY: Wednesday te'nnight, the Third Gtlards trete minutely . in spected, in Dublin Ilarracki; by the Commander of the Forces: Sir Wituass &ram ra's Corps of Yeomanry, and the Stara the Dublin Militia, were at the same time inspected.

The country in the neighbourhnod of Ch ' ertsey Is so deeply flooded by the late incessant rains, that the coaches proceeding thither yesterday were bbliged stop at Hampton, and return to town in the evening. The Salisbury coach, which should have been in town yesterday evening, had not arrived when this Paper went to Press, owing, it is reported, to the blowing up of some of the arches of Staines Bridge. The Windsor coaches were detained yesterday and the preceding day, in consequence of the floods on the road. The roads towards Maidenhead are, for nearly two miles, so delugbd that the coach-horses were up to their girths in water. ThoYorthern Mails have been stopped two day; by the inundations. At Newport Pape% the coaches could not pus the bridge, owing to the floods. The Ba th York House mail-coach was nearly upset on Wednesday night. • At Henley, the pole-horses were neatly drowired. In several places the passengers and luggage were removed to prevent the horses being drowned at Henley-upon-Thames, particularly, the horses plunged into a body of water of great depth. Poles are now affixed on the banks of low lauds to indicate the depth of water on the roads. BATH.—The weather, during . the fast week, has been very tempestuous. The wind throughout the greater part of Thursday night and Friday morning blew a complete hurricane; the parapets of three houses in Grove-street fell with a tremendous crash ; the wall erected in front of the new Church, James street, was blown down ; also a stack of chimnies at the back of Milsom-street. Saturday evening the rain descended in torrents, accompanied with thunder and lightning, and it did not cease until daybreak on Sunday morning ; the immense fall of rain caused the river to overflow its banks ; and by Sunday after noon the ground, called Doleniead and Oxmead, be tween Caroline-buildings and the river, a great por tion of which has recently been covered with small tenements, presented one wide expanse of water, and the inhabitants of the cottages were obliged to seek shelter in the upper apartments and upon the house tops, whence many were rescued by boats. The flood has since considerably abated, although the low grounds in the vicinity - are still inundated : consider able damage has been sustained, particularly by that class who can ill support the loss. The flood at Frome, on Sunday morning, occasioned by the tre mendous storm of the preceding night, was higher than any that has been known in that town for nearly sixty years. The damage sustained amounts to several thousand pounds. Fourteen sheep and three cows were lost on Monday, at Road, in consequence of the flood. There was to-day a heavy fall of snow on Mendip. The cellars of great part of the houses in Wells were inundated on Saturday, from the great fall of rain. During the violent gale of Thursday night, the malt-house of Mr. HEAVEN, on Steeple- Ashton Common, was blown down, and the roof car ried off. In the same gale, a wall at Melksham Spa was blown down : much other damage was done in the neighbourhood, as windows blown in, trees torn up,&c. GLoucesmt.—Almost every evening during the last week, stol-ms of thunder and lightning, with perfect hurricanes of wind and rain, have visited this City, and been equally prevalent in every part of the kingdom. In this vicinity, the Wye and the Lugg having overflown their banks, the floods rendered the roads impassable in many parts of the country, and delayed the mails and coaches beyond their usual period of arriving. We have heard of several out houses, ricks, &c. being injured by the wind, which also levelled many of the stately Ornaments of the forests and orchards in different situations. LIVERPOOL.—The weather here has been extremely tempestuous, both wind, hail, and rain. About three o'clock, on Tuesday morning last, we had a storm of thunder and lightning, which continued only for a few minutes. On the evening of the same day the lightning was also uncommonly vivid, but unaccom panied with thunder. The fall of rain has been great, accompanied with strong gales. Indeed the violence of the westerly winds has compelled several Ameri can and other vessels, after having been at sea schte weeks, to put back. So long a continuance of westerly winds, at this season, has not been known for many years past. Notwithstanding the very dreary and unsettled state of the weather, the East Sussex pack of Fox-hounds continue to bunt regularly, and In general effectually. as the kennel door at Ri *. mer is frequently ornamented with additional fur-heads. The Gentlemen who /compose the Hunt, like true sportsmen, never cinch, be the weather what it may. It is trally laughable to see them come home after a day's hunt, there being such a contrast between the scarlet cloth and the Sussex mud. Conn Exclusion, blase-ups, Dec. Ml.—Owing to the cm-- tinuance of boisterous weather we have had no arrivals of any Grain this week, and scarcely any business was done in our Market to.day, the consumers refraining from purchasing, in an ticipation of very large supplies when the wind changes; in con seq=of which our prices may be quoted the same as Howley. nue Ilmucer ' Ducausan wt.—There was an uncoil:. mon short market this morning, owing to the waters being out in various o the country; in consequence of which the prices of di fferent descriptions of Cattle are Father higher.-%- Current prices: reef, 2s. 6d..t0 4s.
