DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND: BURNING OF A OLRRE HOUSE AT KTLLEEDT. Sarrirdl , night, the Ist instant, the Glebe-house of 1 the Rev. Edward Geraghty, Rector of Killeedy, was entered by a numerous armed party of insurgents; and after replenishing themselves with plenty of bacon and potatoes, which they boiled, they proceeded to partake of some of the exquisites of the cellar, by drinking several dozen bottles of fine old wine, Ste. after Which, they set fire to the house, exulting with acclamations of triumph, and then depared reeling drunk, firing shots through the different parts they passe I—when arrived at a farm-house on the lands of Dorrerv, the estate of Mr. Maunsell, they instantly set it on fire, and both houses were consumed to ashes. Mr. Geraglity's hou s e was a complete edifice, built in the most modern style, excellent offices, and }host tastefully furnished, all of which were totally tiestrored. The fire was to be seen at Newcastle, from whence a party of the 42d Regiment were or dered next morning. On their arrival, they perceived a few persons near the ruins, all of whom ran away, on which the party fired, and after a pursuit of some miles, repeatedly firing, they got up the mountain; a piece of the cape of a coat was shot off by a musket bullet. When the army returned from the ruins, the peasantry collected from all directions to the h ouse, which was still in flames, and did not leave a single article of any description whatsoever but they tore away and laid waste. A quantity of bacon, meal, potatoec, and wool, which were then not consumed, were all carried off by them, also such portion of fur niture as they were able to rescue from the flames, and even the potatoes that were in pits in the garden were taken away, and the bees in their hives de strove.) or carried off. All this was the labour of Sunday, and on Monday, five cows, and a horse of great value, were publicly carried off the lands by an armed p:nty of these savages, to the mountains ; also a large stack of hay, of some tons, was regularly dis tributed among the insurgents or their friends. The valuable young timber has also been taken away.— Limerick Chroniele.. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BUTTEVANT, FEB. 11. " I have ascertained that the bodies of ten of the men who were shot at Newmarket, were left that night in a bog hole near the place, until the nights became moonlight. " The body of another man, who lived near Newcastle, and who was forced trom his wife and a large family the day before v. as taken to the widow, who was informed if she shewed the ef, - ,hte.t appearance of grief, she would be put to death. She 1.-AS urdered to hide the body for some days, and then bury it privately. " Sally park House, which was given by George B. Low; for the use of troops, was burnt, and thirty hogsheads of eider. Mr. Low estimates his loss at one thousand pounds. Th: re have been eight hoop-, in and near Churehtown, and a quantity of timber, belonging to Sir Juba Purcell,burnt, in the course of last week." The following notice was posted outside Adare Chapel on Saturday night : " General Rom, Commanding in Chief the Army of Ire land, being drsirons of organizing, with as little delay as possi ble, an administrative power for the province of the County of Cork, directs as follows :—lst. That every individual from the age of sixteen to forty inclusive, is required in the name of the Irish Republic, instantly to repair to the Rebel Camp, in order to march in mass against the common enemy, the tyrant of Ireland—the English, whose destruction can alone insure the independence and the welfare of the ancient Hibernia. (Signed) ' 4 The General Commanding-in-Chief the Army of Ireland, JOHN ROCK, K.C.B. _ _ " All to march to Vernon; or Mallow with speed, the fate of the Palatines will be the fate of an who shall stay a torn. these bad times." A few days ago, a highly respectable Gentleman, near Killarney, was requested by his tenantry to at tend en 'Thursday last, and that all to a man would take the oath of allegiance. lie accordingly re paired there, but instead of performing their pre mise, intimated that they had received further orders from Captain Rock, not to do any act except they got a reduction of one-half their rents, and be freedirom all description of tithes and taxes.—Linserick Chronicle. Several other outrages are detailed in the Irish Pa pers of a similar nature to those we have enumerated. TRIM LAW CHANCES.—MT. JOHN LLOYD and Mr. TORRENS are the Serjeants, in the room of Mr. JOY ' now the Solicitor. General, and Mr. VADOELRUft, now the Judge in the King's Bench. The new Silk Gowns are Sir Homy MICRTDI7II, Bart. HENRY Karate, FRANCIS BLACEBURNI, GEGOROZ DMZ?, M. BLAMER% GEORGE FRENCH, Joan FITZGIBBON 1101C111r, and JArers M , Doecusit., Esqrs. Saturday, the Right Hon. WILLIAM CONYNGIIAM PLUNKETT was unanimously re-elected M.P. for the University of Dublin. On Saturday arrived at Portsmouth the Intrepid transport, Lieutenant PRITCHARD, agent, from the Cape of Good Hope, which place she left on the 15th of December, with part of the 72d Regiment on board, and a few invalids from the 98th and 54th Regiments. The 72d Regiment has been at the Cape trom the time of its capture, 16 years since ; most of the men would willingly have remained and settled. The remainder of the regiment is coming home in the Alfred and Borodino transports. The 11Yezatox frigate, Captain LILLICRAP, had arrived at the Cape with the Governor, Lord CHARLES SOMERSET. The late acting Governor, General Sir R. DOBKIN, is re turned to England in the Intrepid. The HYPERION vas to remain in command of the station (having the :' , IENAt, HERON, and CYGNET, under orders) until the art ival of Commodore Notrzsz from England, in the ANDROMACHE, when the HYPERION would go on to The GLASGOW frigate, Captain B. C. DOYLE, had touched at the Cape, having had two months passage, and, after remaining three days, proceeded on to Ceylon, to land the Honourable Sir EDWARD PAGET, G.C.B. the new Governor. A Dutch East Indiaman was wrecked at Robin Island (Cape), early in December, but the crew and great part of the cargo were saved. The Nth Regiment, Colonel Sir C. CAMPBELL, was preparing to embark for India, with out waiting to be relieved by the 49th Regiment, now on the passage for that purpose. 'The settlers at Port Elizabeth (Algoa Bay) had again been disappointed by a partial failure of their second crop of wheat.— Their neighbours, the Caffres, had not, as was ap prehended, recently offered them any annoyance, but, on the contrary, a good understanding prevailed with them. A new light-house was erecting at the Cape, on one of the points of Table Bay, which was zeirly finished ; another is ordered to be built at Port Elizabeth. The marine establishment at the island of Ascension is doing well. BoisarAsces favouri:e horse, which followed the remains of lis fluster to his grave, is now in his Ma.asrris stud—a bay Arabian, of beautiful symmetry. The ill lialelitlnd Gazed,: of Saturday says—" On Wednesday Insmilis Woassescit's Bank, Lancaster, stopped payment. We bear that there is likely to be a deficiency of s 000,000." • rat WELLiNetON Mat& It• . r.-nuar. wlti be rdeolleettid that, od the rettim of tie Duke of WU:Mut:Tom to England, at the Poke of 1814, the Merchants and Bankers of London, anxious to offer to his Grace a memorial of their high admi htion and profound gratitude for his public services; .appointed a Committee for that purpose. Messrs. GREEN, WARD, and Co. of Ludgate -street, were se. lected to execute the work ; and, under their direel tion And superintEncitace, has been wrought one of the most splendid phicluttions of asocterfi art.— On Saturday his Grace (having previously appointed that day) attended at Messrs. GRUM and Wmur's, accompanied by Lord Frmitoy Sosslasirr, and was there met by W. MANNINO, Esq. M.P. the Chairman of the Committee, who delivered the splendid trophy to his Grace, in the name of the Merchants and Beakers, and at the same time expressed to him the sentiments of respect and attachment with which they, in com mon with a grateful country, are animated towards his Grace's person. The illustrious Duke made an appropriate reply to this address. This magnificent Shield is executed in silver richly gilt, with two ornamental Columns of the same costly material. We shall give a short description both of the Shield and of the Columns, which are meant as ornamental accessions to it, when • placed among the other splendid memorials of the illustrious Ge neral's victories. The Shield is circular ; its diameter is about three feet eight inches. At the first gl knce of the eye three concentric divisions strike the spectator, namely, a convex broad border of deadened gold richly orna mented in basso relievo, an inner circle of burnished gold radiating from the centre and slienly convex, and a bold group of figures in alto reltevo executed in deadened gold, occupying the centre of the Shield. The central group, nobly prominent, and beauti fully relieved by the raiiant ground on which it is placed, consists of 14 equestrian figures, besides an allegOrical representation of Fame, crowning the il lustrious Commander ; and there are three prostrate figures under his feet, descriptive of the violence, the devastation, and the despotism to which his victories so happily put an end. The Duke of WELLINGTON himself appears on horseback in the middle, and he is surrounded by Officers who held important com mands under him in the Peninsula. The grouping is most admirable. The Duke, without appearing de tached from his associates, is sufficiently distinct and striking; whilst the other Officers fill the surrounding space, without producing any effect of crowd or con fusion. Some of the countenances are remarkable likenesses, particularly those of Lord 13EnesPottn and Sir Loway COLE, which are both finished with a precision and sharpness truly surprising in this sort of workmanship. The outer border is divided into ten compartments, representing the principal features of the Duke's mili tary life, up to the general peace of 1314, when the plan of this costly work was first adopted. Of course, the unparalleled triumph of Waterloo does not enter into the series of events here recorded ; but it must remain indelibly engraved on every British heart to the latest posterity. The subjects of the different compartments are as follow : 1. Tug VICTOST or MOM (Sept. 23, 1803).—The British cavalry and infantry, having left the artillery, whose progress (being drawn by bullocks) was too slow, advance, and over come all opposition; and the charge made by the 10th regiment of dragoons overthrows the Mahrattas, and decides the day. 2. Tux Barns or Vlllll6lla cAlliplit 21, 1808).—This victory led to the delivery of Lisbon. the charge of the 71st Highlasil regimet.t, which mainly contributed to the defeat of the French, L here introduced. S. The Passaos 07 ?HZ Davao (May 12, Iso9).—The City of Oporto is here d, surrounded by women and chil dren, who receive personifie d, as their deliverer. The French are seen flying at his approach. 4. TORRIM Vsna.ts (March 6, 1811).—The Allied troops ad vancing from the lines and pursuing the enemy, whose flight is marked by conflagration and famine. S. BADAJOS TAW BY ASSAULT (April 6, 1812).—This sub ject may be said to represent the conquest of the many strong holds on the frontiers of Portugal. 6. Tsui Barns or SALAMANCA (July 22,1812).—The British army, having entered Spain, defeat the French under Marmont, at Salamanca. Marmont wounded. 7. Tug BATTLX or Vzrznats. (June 21, 1813).--Where the usurper Joseph is defeated in person, the females of his suite, baggage waggons, &c. taken, and the French eagles captured. 8. Tue Barns or THZ PTIZNICTIS 813).—An Officer is seen planting the British colours on the heights, before which the Imperial standard is overthrown. The City of Bourdeaux is personified, rising to welcome the British army, and hoisting the ancient colours of France. F. THE ENTRANCE or WELLINGTON MO TOULOUSE (April 12, 1814), where all sexes and ages hail him as their deliverer; an old Knight of St. Louis is seen grasping his hand, and welcoming him as the restorer of the Bourbon Dynasty, &c. 10. Tee DUZZDOX or Argun:crow Co/immix') (1914).—The Duke, with the " Baton de Mareschal" in his hand, kneeling be fore the Prince Regent to receive the Ducal Coronet. .... _._ . The Columns are intended to represent the fruits of the victories depicted on the shield. They are each about four feet three or four inches in height, includ ing the figures of Fame and Victory, by which they are respectively surmounted. The body of each Co lumn is formed by the trunk of a Palm -tree, with a capital of leaves : it stands on a triangular base, and is surrounded in each instance by three characteris tic figures. Around the Column, sustaining the figure of Vic tory, are resting, in attitudes of repose, three Soldiers of the United Kingdom, namely, a British Grena dier, a Highlander, and an Irish Light infantryman; each supporting the flag of his country, distingui s hed by the Rose, Th istle, and Shamrock. The subjects described in basso-telievo on the base are—Britannia awarding the laurel-wreath alike to the Army and Navy ;—A Return to the frill occupation of the useful and ingenious Arts;—and The Old and Young join ing in the festive dance.—Groups of military tro phies and weapons arc heaped up at the angles is if no longer required. Around the column surmounted by the figure of Fame, are placed in quiescent attitudes, three soldiers, emblematical of three of the nations whose troops the Duke commanded; namely, a Portuguese, a Sepoy, and a Guerilla, who are suppmed to have bound a medallion of the Duke among the folds of their re spective flags. Under each figure is a bas-relief, de scribing the peaceful occupations of the several coun tries released from their enemies; thus, under the Guerilla are Spanish peasants dancing, while the vine and the oxen denote the return of agriculture and the vintage. Under the Portuguese, the loug-neglected vineyard appears restored to its produ:tive harvest : and beneath the Sepoy, a Hindostanee family reposes in peace under the protection of the British Govern ment, while a Warrior is relatinglan account of the Battle of Assaye, by which the count:) , was freed • troth the eejeagek the Ma kaiak .Th pirdiaiiii of the 'Cent are= A 'Soldier a/Me 19th Dragoons and a Sepal/. with a blahratta captive; Groups of tnili tary trophies and weapons ornament the corners of the base, as in the firstcolumn.

Previous.to the 44th Regiment leaving Athlone, they gave a gt mina to their Commanding Officer, Colonel Mossiest/it, C. B. as a mark of their respect and esteem; the ball was at: tended by all the respectable families in the neighbourhood , the rooms were tastefully decorated, a transparency at each end ; one was the Temple of Victory, with the badges of the Regi ment—Hope was conducting Minerva to it ; on her shield was " Chislas Farm, 11th Nov. 1613." This latter alludes to the place where the Colonel so gallantly distinguished himself at the bead of the 89th in Canada. • MILITARY PROMOTIONS. • WAR-orrice, Fell. 15, 1822. sth Regiment of DragOes Guards—taptain Trevor Whitler, from the 16th Light Dragoons, to be Captain, vice Byrum, who exchanges. 7th Ditto—Lieutenant John Charles Farmer, from the fist Foot, to be Captain, by purch a s e , v i ce Loveirell, who retires. 6th Regiment of Dragoons—Lieutenant Robert Warrand, from the half-pay of the 22d Light Dragoons, to be Lieutenant, vice Augustus Saltern Willett, who exchanges, receiving the difference. 16th Regiment of Light Dragoons—Captain Ashton Johnsen Bm, from the sth Dragoon Guards, to be Captain, vic e W yro lwier, who exchanges. 6th Regiment of Foot—Gentleman Cadet Robert Milner, from the Royal Military College, to be Ensign by purchase, vim Grey promoted in the 33d Foot. 16th Ditto—Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Bird, from half pay of the 87th Foot, to be Major, vice Thome whose fp poiotment has nut taken place ; Lieut e n a nt Malts Deacon, from the 73d Foot, to be Lieutenant, vice Hamilton, who exchanges. 17th Ditto—George Walter Story, Gent. to be Ensign, without purchase, vice Moncrieff, whose appointment has not takes Place.
