The statement that has appeared in most of the papers of X 70.000 being insured at Lroyn's on the Dutch ship Columba, from Batavia, lately foundtred off the ('ape of Good Hope, we ..re assured is incorrect, and that the amount is net much above ,:(1,000. As autumn, Dutch East Indiamen have been lately j Wit, it is almost surprising that insurances on them can be ef fe;tril in London, the Underwriters having no means of user t.:Ong how old the ships are, nor their state of equipment. • 'lle brig Choice, Hearty, arrived at Waterford on Wednes day se'nnight from Quebec, in twenty days. About six leagues „ o ,, t h of nsugal she fell in with the ship I3ellona, of Grange rlouth. timber laden, from Miramichi, dismasted and deserted, • r rc t water in her hold, a cat and a pig on board alive.

She went ashore, however, at Bewley on the Wexford side of the river, and remains there, with n:all chance of being got off. When the Bellona was boarded it? the Youghalmen, there was every appearance of the hands :axing left the vessel, as the sailors' chests bad been emptied, sad svetely anything remained but a trifle of provisions. There was a slate upon deck, upon which was written—" This vessel's 7e.a.t was carried away by a squall. and we were in great (I'.4tress." There was more on the slate, but it was not legible.

THE KEELMEN. NEWCASTLE, NOVEMBER 46. Tie great body of the keelmen still continue re fractory ; they have tor a considerable time past per sis.ted in insulting and annoying the keels in their Fusing, though navigated by seamen and (Akers, and protected, by armed boats from the ships of war.— Tbe marines have fired repeatedly upon them on those occasions, but without doing any execution.— This emboldened the refractory to take greater liber ties, and the Civil Authorities found themselves called on to publish a declaration that " the marines I:ad orders to fire on the first man that shall dare to' !brow a stone at them." This threat was carried into effect on Friday lust, v. ) :ien a person of the name of Aaron Mar, a glass =llan, who had mingled with the keelmen, received a xound in the thigh, and has since been committed to prison. The keelmen have not confined themselves !a an interference with the craft passing in the river, bat have sunk several keels moored on the Shore stile, and thus prevented their employment when titey were required, and the tide answered.

DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. FROM THE BOYLE GAZETTE. We are sorry to observe, that a spirit of outrage has manifested itself in this part of the country, which has hitherto been considered the most peace able, and which, if not timely suppressed, may ulti mately lead to attacks on the houses of the resident Gentry of this country. About one o'clock, on Tuesday morning last, five men (undisguised) suddenly burst into a house in the village of Croghan, within a few miles of this town, inhabited only by Thomas Short, one of the police men on Major Wills's establishment, secured him by the throat while in bed, and demanded his arms. Although nearly suffocated, he struggled to disen gage himself, which he fortunately effected, and seizing his bayonet made use of it in every direction where he found any resistance. A desperate struggle ensued, during which his wife (who was almost in capable of affording assistance from her advanced state of pregnancy) attempted to escape to alarm the remainder of the Police, but received a blow from some person outside the door, by which she was thrown back senseless—she continues dangerously ill. Short at length succeeded irf putting the ruffians to flight ; they left behind them three of their hats, a bludgeon, and a cord, which is supposed to have been brought for the purpose of tying Short. One of the party brought with him a lighted candle, which was soon extinguished in the scuffle, but which enabled 'Short to see his combatants. Upon following them to the d or, he saw about seven or eight more run ning off in all directions. He thinks that he must have wounded the whole of those who entered, and one of them severely. He is confident that he would have done more execution had not his arm been seized and held the moment it was found Olathe had got his bayonet. FROM Tile CLON,MEL ADVERTISER. Tuesday night three houses were burnt on the lands of Knockane, parish of Tubberid, on the estate of the Earl of Glengall. The houses were at the time unoccupied, and no di,ubt exists the burning was a malicious one. We are sorry to state, that on Tuesday night, as Mr. James Ryan, of Kile, near Thurles, was on his return home from his daughter's, he was waylaid and murdered. Plunder was not the aim of those concerned, as money was got in the pocket of the de ceased, when Itis remains were found next morning, a considerable distance off from his road, where the body must have been dragged. Mr. Ryan was above eighty years of age, and an opulent and highly re spectable farmer, very much esteemed. An Inquest has been held on the body—Verdict, " Wilful Mur der against some person or persons unknown." FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE. Saturday night, William Collins, of Doon, Barony of.Coonagh, in thi: county, returning from the fair of Cappawhite, was murdered near his own house. The perpetrators are not discovered, though the po lice ate on the alert. FROM TILE CORK ADVERTIZER. The house of Mr. Langley, of Cahermee, neatly midway between Buttevant and Doneraile, was at tacked on Sunday night by a gang of Whiteboys, who demanded fire-arms ; but not obtaining any, and finding that Mr. Langley was from home, they shat tered the house, broke into it, destroyed the greater part of the furniture, and searched every apartment for fire-arms, but found none. The same night some miscreants set flu e to some corn at Cooline, near Bally boom, distrained by R. Hill, Esq. Sunday night, the 17th inst. a wanton and barba rous murder was committed on the lands of Mount Catherine, between Rathcormack and Watergrass-hill. The lands of Mount Catherine had been distrained for rent, and on Sunday night a number of persons attacked the house of Jeremiah Cullinane, where the keepers were; the ruffians broke open the door, and were most unmercifully beating the keepers,when the wife of Cullinane, remonstrating with these savages, and incautiously calling on them by name, they turned their vengeance towards the unhappy woman herself, and murdered her. On hearing of the above outrage, \V. Ryder, Esq. repaired to the spot, and was so for tunate as to secure two of the ringleaders of the mur derous gang, who are fully identified. Earl FarWitt.tam has caused ejectments to be served upon a number of the Gentlemen on his estates, who were rack-rent middlemen, owing several years arrears themselves, and making the poor cottagers pay to the day—his Lordship has, however, ordered that the occupying tenants shall not be removed. The Earl of Goaroan has arrived at Blake's Hotel, Tetmyn street, front a tour—Lord Vattonast has left ditto. DCEL.—A meeting took place on Tuesday last, at the Five Elms, near Virginia Water, between Mr. A--o—sr and Mr. Gentlemen of fortune. The dispute originated at a Ball given by the Mem bers of the Farley harriers ; a Lady was the cause. Mr. A. was wounded slightly in the breast, by his an tagonist's ball grazing it ; when the seconds, Captain P—a, and Mr. W—r—T, interfered, and here the affair rested. ELOPEMENT.—Lieutenant D—, an Officer upon halt-pay, lodging. in Queen-street, Golden-square, on Monday morning hired a post-chaise in Picca dilly, and left it in waiting in Regent-street. In a few minutes afterwards he arrived and handed a young Lady of considerable fortune, residing in that neighbourhood, into it, and told the post boy to drive' fast as he could down the Kent-road. In half an hour afterwards the fugitives were pursued by the Lady s brother, who was armed With pistols. He traced t h e m to the Bricklayer's Arms, where they quitted . the Chaise, and no further clue.cold be obtained. • . ~ .DRti►AMMO: TRSATRB. - . Ever since Mr. KEAN returned from his provincial engagements, the Public have been anxious to see his talents and those of Mr. YOUNG exerted in the same Tragedy. Their desires have been fully Fratified by the performance of last night, when the Tragedy of Othello was performed—the' character of the open, free, and unsuspecting Moor by Mr. kaasr, and that of the crafty semi -devil, logo, by Mr. YOUNG. :Ile Public were long acquiinted with the respective merits of these Gentlemen ; but they felt that the collision of genius would elicit sparks brighter and more beautiful than could be produced when the mind of either was opposed to materials which it despised. This was not the trial of some newly-en listed soldier against one who had long maintained his reputation in the scenic field—it was not strength against weakness—it was the powerful opposed to the powerful.: KEAN, aided by the stores of nature— Youso, seconded by the perfection of art, which looked all but nature. The Public, the great arbiters, filled the House almost to suffocation at an early hour; and, by their impartial conduct, proved themselves to be judges, not partisans. Every praise that noble personation of a most difficult character deserves, is due to the performance of Mr. KHAN last night. His laurels bloom as freshly as they ever did—ltoused to a most powerful exertion by the just feeling that the eye of the Metropolis was upon hits, he put forth all his vigour, he entered into all the passions. of i Othello, he rivetted the attention. and he subdued the heart. His address to the Senate was not, as it al most always is, a piece of well-turned declamation -; it was the appeal of a man, " little versed in the soft arts of peace," whom truth and honour had made eloquent, and whose eloquence should bear, not the formal stamp cf the schools, but the honest feelings of an ingenuous nature. The whole of his scenes in the third act, the most perplexing in the Tragedy, from the moment of logo's villainous insinuation, until Othello arrives at an unwilling but a dread ful certainty, were finely acted. In this most trying part of the character, the workings of his coun tenance, and the exquisite propriety of his gesture and motions, formed a fine comment on the text,— ' The scene with Desdemona, in the fourth Act, where love and hate alternately strive for mastery in Othello's soul, was a heart-rending representation of a mind 46 perplexed in the extreme." One of' the greatest beauties in the last scene (and it abounded with beau ties) was his sudden reflection, (when Emilia's visit occasions him, unconsciously, to speak of his wife)=— "My wife! what wife! I have no wife !" These words were given in tones so melancholy and de sponding, as set description at defiance. Mr. KEAN's performance was enthusiastically applauded. Of Mr. YouNG's logo, we must observe in the outset, that, except the logo of Mr. KEAN, we have not, since the time of Mr. COOKE, witnessed its equal. It good forth prominently on the canvass ; and when there was such an Othello, this is no trifling praise. The character is one of extreme difficulty. To appear before the audience as a well-known villain, and yet to perform so skilfully as to lead the same audience to believe that Othello might have been deceived by such simulation as the actor adopts, is a task accomplishable by very few. Mr. YOUNG did, how ever., accomplish it. His scenes with Othello, in the third Act, were masterpieces. These scenes are the touchstone of his abilities who plays the part: Mr. YOUNG went through the trial with admirable success. Ile introduced the devil jealousy into Othello '$ bosom with so much apparent reluctance at the idea of disturbing his patron's rest, and with so much seeming dread of doing aught that might be considered derogatory to his own honour, as fully exculpated the open-hearted Moor from the charge of credulity in giving credence to his well concocted falsehoods. In an earlier scene of the Tragedy we were highly pleased with Mr. YOUNG'S mode of play ing on the passions of Roderigo : he varied with great art his manner of giving the constantly recurring sen tence, " Put money in thy purse !" Entreaty, remon strance, command, and good-humoured pleasantry, were by turns resorted to, and each in turn was urged with excellent effect. Mr. YOUNG'S performance was also received with great applause. The audience, in deed, seemed to have adopted Queen DLDo's sentiment, " Trus Tyriusve mihi nullo discrimine agetur !" The parts of Desdemona and Emilia were well filled by Mrs. W. WEST and Mrs. G Lovett. Mr. TERRY'S CtaSiO was respectable. The inferior characters were tolerably well sustained. The Tragedy was given out for representation on Monday next, amidst the loudest acclamations. . Such were the crowds at Drury-Lane Theatre last 1 night, to witness the exertions of Mr. YOUNG and Mr. KEAN in the same Play, that long before the rising, of the curtain the several parts of the House were crowded. The Pit and Galleries were soon filled to excess : in the Pit not above five or six La dies ventured to gain admittance. It looked almost like a French Pit, into which Ladies never go. In the Boxes there were strong contestsfor places ; and it was with the greatest difficulty that, in the dress and first circles, the boxkeepers could retain the places for the company.who had taken them. In the second tier, especially at each end of it towards the stage, and in the slips, individuals in vain endeavoured to retain the seats: the company were obliged to stand, and they were then crowded together with most " profitable" closeness. But still there were many persons in the lobbies wholly unaccommodated, and who having paid tor their admissions, very pro perly complained when they found that the regular boxes andseats presented not the most distant chance of a momentary sight of the performance being obtained. Under these circumstances, and to keep faith with the Public, such private boxes as were unoccupied were opened to the surplqs company; and in those boxes (his MaJEsTv's box amongst the rest), where seats were arranged for fora' persons, twelve indivi duals, on an average, contrived to get toler ably good views of the performances. Amongst the company present were the Earl of , ESSEX, in his box over the Stage, with.a party, in-' eluding Mt. Trsataky, M.P. Lord Het.t.aern was in his grand private box over the orc and in line with the first der ; his Lordship alsok arty with *44 lulu. Lord and Lady Martynottoutiar iug unable to get into the private boxes bemeen eight and nine o'clock, went into the boxes amongst the general eons part y. In the orchestra were PAseo G ItY.NYMLL, Esq. M.P. and several caber persons of distinction. - I SPORTING INTELLIGENCK. -• ARCHERY. Saturday, the Geese Medal was shot for by the Royal Com. pang of Archers, at their Butts, Archers' Hall, Edinburgh, and won by Jon* Wtt.sme ' Esq. W.S. Ther e w ere more shooters present for this Prise than have been for mazy years. BO X I N G. - - - The two battles between Godfrey, the Giiport Black, and Csernmings, the navigator; and Pltillips, the tioman, and Goucley, the wrestler, took place on Tuesday, at Chorley Common, near Farnham. The first two contended for a state of ten sovereigns ind purie of ten, and had it been hundreds, according to the pre vailing humbugging, the men could not have gone to work more in earnest. In the first round, Godfrey floored his adversary by a right. handed facer front the scratch, which produced plenty of cl a ret. 2. The navigator drew blood from the Bl ac k' s right deceiver, which laid open the eye-lash, and the crimson hue followed. A well contested rally ensued, and the navigator was thrown. 3 and 4. The Black's superior strength gave hint rathei the lead, but in the fourth the navigator got him upon the right lock, and tipped a rattling cross-buttock, winch lopsided him, and took the rough off his fastness. 5 and 6. In favour of the Navigator, the Black going up to the scratch lame in the right thigh; and it was 2 to 1 on the Navigator. 7. In a severe rally several hits were exchanged, and none of the tapping sort. The Navigator's right eye was closed, and the Black gave him a rattling facer, which not only turned the odds, but reduced the fight to a win. 8. The Navigator was floored front the scratch, anti the Black won a merry battle in 22 minutes. l'imurs AND Goonov.—These men fought a good battle for /.75, and a afice of love to boot, conserving a viuow. It lasted .16 minutes, and the men knocked each other about with more energy than skill. Goodoy had the best of the hrst 25 minutes, but a severe slap on that lick/isla part, the tip of the nose, spoilt him, and Phillips won it, who was escorted home by a well dressediensate I PEDESTRIANISM. Wright, the pedestrian, started from Gray's Inn-lane ylister day, at twelve o'clock, to go to Baldock and hack, a distance of 75 miles, for three successive days. Betting 2to I apt him. MATCH to Axisovaa.—Mr. Barlow, a Yorkshire pedestrian, (not related to the boxer of that name), started on Monday, at eight in the morning, from Hyde Park Corner, to go to Ando ver and back, 130 miles, in 44 hours, for a b.:t of £2OO. It was a task of three miles an hour, without allowing for stoppages. The pedestrian reached the 16 mile stone in two hours and a qUartet lunched at Staines, and left there at twelve' o'clock.— Mr. Barlow kept on at his work, at the rate of four miles and a half an hour. and reached Basingstoke at eight at night, where he halted an hour, and reached Andover at three in the morn tug. lie halted two boors at a friend's sear Ovetton ;on his return dined at Basingstoke, and left himself 13 hours to do the last 47 miles in. He leached ikdfont at ten on Tuesday night, considerably distressed, having six hours to do the 14 miles in : he hilted one hour, and won with 20 minutes to spare. The pedestrian travelled in flannels, covered with light apparel, and avoided observation as much as possible. *,-HUNTING. The Brighton Ha*Vs meet to-morrow, at the Devil's Dyke. EATING MATCH. Yesterday_it,o6, named Bishop, a dustman, undertook, for a wager of two gallons of heavy wet, to eat fee pounds of beef steaks, and a two-penny loaf, and drink two pots of porter, it& the course of half an hour ! lie performed the arduous ttsk with apparent ease at a public-house in the Curtain-road, Shore. ditch, asserting at the same time that he could swallow another pound of meat with pleasure, and drink a pint of gin by way of a digester! The by-standers would not give him the chance. COURSING. At the Coursing Meeting at Barnacre, near Carstang, last Monday, there were between 60 and 70 hares seen: 48 runs, and 2:, were killed. So abundant are the hares on the South Downs this season, that the neighbouring packs of hounds are frequently divided by the starting of a fresh hare or two while in pursuit of the ono first found. Yesterday, the Peterborough coach, going down Baldock Hill, unfortunately upset; the guard *as killed on the spot, and the coachman also much butt. . - None of the passengers sustained any injury. Thil guard has left a widow and four children. Two youths, of the names of SIDNEY and MAR. RIAT, were drowned on Tuesday evening, in Twick enham Reach, by striking the bottom of the boat against a pile. There were four other young men and two women in company, who escaped. _ A desperate affray took place in the coverts of Sir HENRY BUNBURY, Bart. at Mildenhall, on Saturday night. The gamekeepers being alarmed by the dis charge of guns, went out in a party of seven, and were attacked by a body of 15 or 20 poachers, who beat them very severely, and fired upon them with the muzzles of the guns so close as to set file to the clothes of to o of them ; but foatinately none of them were dangerously injured, though one was shot in the arm, another in the hand, and a third was also wounded. Two of the keepers fired in their defence, and one of the depredators fell to the ground, where he lay groaning loudly, till the weaker party were . - forced to fly for assistance; and on their return the villains were gone, and had carried off their wounded companion, ss ho had evidently bled most profusely.; DARING OuTnacz.—As Mr. Charles Williamson and his wife were, late on Sunday evening, returning to town from Highgate, they were stopped nearly at the bottom of the hill by a single footpad, armed with a heavy bludgeon ; the fellow seizing the reins of the horse, and uttering many shocking impreca tions, demanded his money or life. Mr. W. however, jumped out of the gig, and putting the reins into his Lady's hands, manfully attacked the assailant with the butt end of a stout whip ; the villain feeling himself thus roughly dealt with, roared out, when two other ruffians came running up, and began to rifle Mrs. W. by tearing her clothes, and dragg ing her cloak and scarf off her shoulders ; her shrieks in stantly brought Mr. Williamson to her assistance, after settling the rascal opposed to him ; he now luckily hit down one of the other villains,who, hold ing fast by his great coat, he could not prevent his wife being brutally forced out of the vehicle, and car ried througa,a gap of the hedge close by, notwith standing her cries and resistance. At this instant a cart came down the hill with three persons in it. Hear ing the distresing screams of a woman, they cried out, " We are coming ! we are coming !" pulled up, leaped out, and run up to the gig, and found Mr.W. leaning on the horse, with the reins in his hand, quite ex hausted. They lost no time, but flew to the Lady's relief; they soon discovered her in a fainting state, conveyed her immediately to the carriage, placing Mr. W. with her, and made the best of their way to a chemist and druggist, in Kentish Town, where sh* was relieved. Mrs. W. lost her cloak, scarf, and one shoe; her outside dress and petticoats were much cut and torn, but she most fortunately sustained nn ma. ! terial hurt. The villains rade their escape across the fields, on the first alarm.
