As if the lawless portion of the community, is all parts of this unhappy island, were directed in their mad career by the same dark agency, no sooner is the yell of outrage raised in one part, ,than it is re-. echoed in another. Last night, (Friday, the 4th inst.) a house, lately taken by a pensioner, situate on the BAllinasloe - road„ Parish of Drum, County of Ros common, within about four miles of this town, war set on fire by a band of midnight incendiaries. With a diabolical ingenuity which shews how much they were bent on the destruction of their victims, they hasped the door on the outside, while they kindled the thatch into a flame. Providentially, however, the pensioner and his wife, alarmed by the crackling of the straw, instantly rushed to the door, and by a desperate exertion of strength, broke it open, and escaped unhurt. The house, however, fell a prey to the flames.—Athlone Herald. FROM TIM CARLOW MORNING POST. Some time ago, as we are informed, James Byrne, of Kilkea, County of Kildare, being ordered to put nut the light in his house by Serjeant Pounteny, of the Police, lie refused to do so, as he had a tailor at work at the time, and it not being more than nine o'clock. Serjeant Pounteny told 'Byrne if the light was not out in ten minutes he would take him to the guardhouse. In some time afterwards the same Byrne had a cousin of his, Mary Keegan, of Rutland, in the county of Carlow, to be interred at Kilkea churchyard, where Set jeans Pounteny and his party demanded the sum of 13s. 4d. for the pall, and 2s. 6d. for the ground being opened, which Byrne refused to pay; the party drew their swords, and did all in their power to pre vent the interment of the corpse ! Thursday, Mr. Lennon, innkeeper of this tnwr, having sent post horses to Ballitore; with the Hon. Mr. Abercrombie, en the return of the postillion, one of the horses was stopped, and forcibly taken from him by a serjeant of the police, under pretence of being stolen, though the man offered to go before a Magistrate, and make oath that the horse had been in his master's possession for six years. We make no comment upon this sort of conduct for the present; the fact can be proved by affidavit, and we wait for fur ther elucidation, before we deliver our sentiments. BIULLINGAR, OCTOBER 3. Within the last eight or ten days, a breach was effected in the great embankments at Blackwater, and in a few nights after, when the damage was partially. repaired, the dams were broken down, and a still more extensive range of the work entirely swept away.— The injury cannot be made good in less than six weeks. These lawless transactions were quickly followed up by one of a more daring, and perhaps dangerous fea ture. On the Sunday night subsequent, about twelve o'clock, a large party of fellows, armed with sticks and bludgeons, rapped at the windows of the packet boat, then lying in the harbour of this town, and called out to the Captain (Walsh) to instantly come upon deck. He being naturally muck alarmed at so unexpected a visit, refused to comply ; on this they gave him peremptory orders to discharge the steerer whom he had lately employed, and take in his pre decessor—a fellow that he had been obliged to dismiss for ill conduct. At departing, they uttered the most dreadful imprecations if he would not obey this noc turnal mandate, he should, on a second warning, sorely repent. The Captain was reluctantly compelled to yield, and do what they required : thus associated villainy triumphed. These wretches foolishly imagine that while they injure and impede the navigation of the country, they strike out work and lower provisions for the benefit of the working classes, never reflecting that the mis chief recoils tenfold on themselves. In the first place, the who;e expense of the loss sustained is levied on the adjacent baronies; 2dly, the farmers are prevented from disposing of the produce of their lands. In either case, it most assuredly tends to the injury of the la bouring poor; as whatever affects the agricultural interests of the country, must proportionably affect its peasantry. It is a melancholy fact, that illegal combinations of a most alarming nature have been organized, on the entire line of Canal from Dublin to Richmond Harbour, a distance of 71 miles ! CONTAGION IN GALWAY. We feel a peculiar degree of pleasure in acquaint ing our readers, that those exertions which we have hitherto so repeatedly made to impress the Public with the necessity for the establishment of a Board of Health, who will take all possible measures of precaution against an increase of the awful calamity with which the unfortunate inhabitants of this town have been so long and so severely aiticted, are at length likely to be crowned with complete success.— Galway Paper. The following are the names of the Medical Gen tlemen lately arrived from Dublin, and the districts to which they have been appointed :—Dr. Greaves, Cloddah district; Dr. Benson, Bohermore; Dr. Cum ming, Market-street and Suckeen ; Dr. Birch, Balloon; Dr. Mollan, Outerard ; Dr. Cahill, Fever Hospital. These Medical Gentlemen send in a daily statement of the disease in their respective districts to Dr. Whist ler, under whose direction they are ; and which state ments Dr. Whistler transmits to the Board of Health, in Dublin.—A weekly statement will, we understand, in future be transmitted to the Newspapers, for the purpose of publication. DUBLIN.-NEW CONSTABLES' ACT. Major Wilcock' has been appointed by his Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant supreme head of the Ma gistrates and Constables who may be employed under the new Act in the province of Munster. In the appointments which will take place under the Act, the Government has abandoned every idea of patronage, as nothing but merit alone, certified through the recommendation of the local Magistrates, can be admitted as a claim for any situation of a su perior or inferior rank. In every instance, therefore, whether in reference to the higher or lower order of constables, no person will be appointed who shall not have obtained the recommendation of seven Magis trates of the county. It is not the inteution of the Government to put into operation any of the efficacious powqrs of the new Act in any of the other threeprovinces. -.• SPORTING IIfTfLUQVNE. ••••••• g..• ‘ § MONMOUTH RA CFI.

A meeting was to have taken place yesterday morn. ning, at six o'clock, in the Hackney-fields, between Mr. J. C—si, an eminent builder, and Mr. C --LL, an Irish Gentleman, residing in the neighbourho o d of Hackney. The dispute arose out of some building transaction. Mr. J. C—st sent a challenge to Mr. C—LL. The bearer of the message was informed by .; Mr. C —LL, that he accepted the challenge, and should be punctual in his attendance, with his second, at the time and place appointed. Mr. J. C—st and his friend waited from a little before sir, till past seven o'clock, and Mr. C—Lt. not making his appearance, Mr. J. C—at fired his pistol in the air. MIRACLES.—St. Gregory the Great affirms—and who will doubt him ?—that a little Monk got into such a habit of working miracles, that at length the Prior forbade him to exercise his supernatural talent, The Monk conformed to the order ; but one day, seeing an honest bricklayer falling from the roof of a house, he hesitated between monastical obedience and charity, in saving the poor man's life; and only or dering him to remain in the air, he ran to acquaint the Prior with the case. The Prior gave him abso lution for the sin of beginning a miracle without his leave, and allowed him to go through with it, but never to do the like again ! AMERICAN CRUELTY.—C. Stephens was arraigned before Joshua T. Chase and Isaac Lyman, Esqrs. at Kittery Point, charged with the murder of his son, C. Henry Copely Stephens, aged nine years. It ap peared in evicence before the Magistrates, that Sit phens, recently an intelligent ship-master, was in the frequent habit of abusing his wife and children. On Sunday morning, the 21st of July, he was heard by a neighbour, at the distance of sixty rods, to whip his wife severely ; her shrieks were very loud ; and his son Charles was heard to say," I shall die ! I shall die r On Sunday, the 11th of August, the same person heard him beat his son severely, who, after be seeching his father in vain for mercy, said, he wished GOD would take him out of the world that moment. On Tuesday, the 6th inst. Stephens and his wife re turned from Boston; at tea-table a quarrel :nose be tween them, and he beat her severely. She disap peared soon after, and had not been found at the period of the examination.—Eft has since been ascer tained that she effected her escape to this town, dread fully. mangled, and now lies secreted in the house of one of her triends.]-0n Wednesday, the 13th inst. he gave his son several severe whippings with a rope. In the evening of that day a lad called on Stephens, on an errand ; his son went to the door, and appeared to be much exhausted from the severe chastisement he had received. He has not since been seen.— The day following the dwelling•house of Stephen's was closed, the windows and doors la , ,tened, and all attempts to gain admittance were ineffectual, though his little daughters were heard to cry, and beg for the admission of their aunt, who was knocking at the aeor. On Friday four persons only gained admit tance, but they saw nothing of the missing child.— From the circumstance of the mysterious absence of Mrs. Stephens, and Charles not having been seen since Wednesday, a suspicion :nose that the latter had been murdered. Several persims accordingly watched ,near the house on Friday evening. Between eight and nine o'clock a man was seen in a boat, making from a neighbouring wharf to the cove in front of Ste phenes house: having gained the shore, he went up to the house, and soon returned, bearing in his arms a burden, which he deposited in the boat, and sculled round the point out to sea, at first moderately, but afterwards very fast. The boat was on Saturday taken up, eight miles horn land, and the painter, which was a chain, gone. On Friday morning, Ste phens sent his little girl to the house of Mrs. Jane Sea vey, the distance of a mile and a half, to inquire if she knew where Charles was. Mrs. Seavey observing that the child looked ill, asked what ailed her? The child was unable to tell, and Mrs. Seavey examined her body. Language is inadequate to describe the shocking:spectacle which presented itself: the little vic tim was so discoloured from her neck to her heels, that the stoutest heart could not look upon her unappalled. On her back and arms were several wounds, and on the abdomen a contusion, which it was then feired would prove mortal. She was so much swol:en and bruised, that Mrs. Seavey wasobliged to cut the linen from her back. The child is an unusually delicate girl of about seven years. She testified that her father whipped her on Wednesday with a rope, at tl e s to e time he whipped Charles, whom he also beat with the tongs, saying, "he would fix him." The little girl was immediately put under the Cale of two respectable Physicians, and is likely to recover. On Sunday even ing Stephens came to this town, and entered a ficti tious name on the stage-book for Boston, but was ap prehended next morning. He has been committed. to York jail, to take his trial at the term of the Su preme Court to be holden at Alfred on Tuesday uext.—New York Paper, Sept. 1. CORN EXCHANGE, ILIARK-LANS,_ OCT. 9.
