IRISH OUTRAGES. ATTACK ON TOR VILLAGF. OF GLANASHEEN. We copy thefollowing narrative from the Cork Ad- Fertiserof Friday. It bears the appearance olbeing highly coloured : oThe following is a detail clone of the most Oat attacks that the history o f the p resent disturbances affer d s :-....0n Tuesday night last, a most desperate attac k was made about nine o'clock by an immense Fa" of insurgents , on the Palatinate villa g e of Gl.l- „, s h e en, on the Castl e-Oliver estate, where four police /on were stationed. Several hon-es were laid in a ihes, and it Wa , . the intention of the rebels to Lave w arned the whole village, and to have murdeted the inhabitants. The insurgents were distinctly heard to say, that o t one should b e allowed to esca p e. Two of the police, rith two of the Palatines, were„on guard, who heard t he rebels a pproaching, and instantly challenged t i :ent , o n ehich the rebels filed a s olley, fortunately without effect. The police and palatines returned thefine, an d kept it up for some time. Another t arty of the rebels set fire to several bf which, with the furniture, &c. were totally co !sawed. The small party of palatines, with the four policemen stationed there, must soon hateav been overpowered, but, providentially, that mo c and most zealous Odicer, lieutenant Lightbodv, ot t h e 71st the on rat! ole, about two mile s di s tant, who saw tne flames and heard the shots, and arrived in sufficient time to tire a volley on the in the pursuit, they found rebeh, ‘ . ..h0 fled ; an d, ow man dead, aed took two of them prisoners.— sir. Lighthody :till continued to pursue them to wards the County of Cork, in the direction of Done.: mile; but the di:.ficulty ot the mountain pass and the ea:kotss of the tight, prevented any more prisuners being taken.. A ball passed rimier the arm of one of die police without doing much injury, and no further tern WAS sustained by the police or the army. No doubt many of the rebels are woun4ed, for the party c ithe 71st Regiment nearly expended all their am munition. There has not been so premeditated an attack since the Chutchtown business. "The rebels called on the police several times to sur render their arms, and that ne injury should be don e to them. However, they were soon made sensible teat the police and palatines were determined I , ) port that character of loyalty to their Kinn. that they had evinced when tried in the year 1796 ' . A pala tine schoolmaster, whose house was on fire, attempted to get through the roof on hearing the rebels declare that he was a Protestant devil, and that not one should be spared. Ile had a miraculous escape, be ing fired at repeatedly." The following is a copy of his MAsEsTy's AnSwer, presented at tl.e Bar of the II use by Mr. Secretary CANNING on Friday, acknowledging the Aak ess o f the Commons relative to the Negociations ati the sub ject of Spain : " Gentlemen of the "House of Commons, "I thank you fur your loyal and dutiful Address. " I naive with sati,faction the expression of your gratitude for my earned endeavours to preserve the rEAce OF Eudorx, and the assurances of your ready and affectiooate support in any mea fire; which I might find it orcissary to adopt for maintaining he honour of MY CROWN, and the interests of aty PEOPLE.

Captain King, the Commander, has re turned to England to lay before the Admiralty the full results olhis voyages of discovery on the wr stern coast of New Holland, in completion of those per formed by Captain Flinders. It must be gratifying, to the many repectab'e fa milies who are looking to our posses,ions in this Anti podean territory as their future residerce, that almost every arrival from Port Jack•on brings information that the more the researches of the inhabitants es tend inland, the more ate they rewarded by ascertaining an indefinite existence of fine country ; and perhaps it is nut sufficiently known that the interior of New Hol land yields in no instance to the beauty, excellence, and richness of the finest soils of Van Dieman's Land, with the difference of a climate that will ripen the orange, the lemon, the olive, that invaluable grails, the trraiz.s, and simiiar bounties of nature. It is asingu lar, but not generails known fact, that a century has elapsed since Colonel Parrs., in a memorial to the Duke of Newcastl e , t h en S ecretary o f S tate to G eorge the First, laid it down as a postulatum, " that there is a certain latianle on our earth so happily tempered between the extremes of heat and cold, viz. 33 de grees, whether north or south of the equator, that it will ever be found to be more productive of the choicest gifts of nature than any other part of the' terraqueous globe. It is a latitude," he continues, " which sheds such fruitfulness on the earth, aad hap triness on mankind in general, that the further they are distant from this degree, so much are they the less happy ! Thus Barbary, Egypt, Syria, Persia, • India, China, Japan, and in short ail other countries, are found to excel in proportion as they approach it : upon this principle, Carolina, and New Mexico, in North, and Chili, and the territory bordering on the Rio de la Plata, in South, are countries preferable to any in all the Americas ; and thus Andalusia is the best in all the Provinces of Spain, as are, for the same reason, Languedoc and Provence the best in France, and Naples and Sicily the most superior of all the Italian dominions." It appears that so far back as 1723, Colonel Perry wished to induce our Govern ment to form a settlement in New Holland, and that he subsequently addressed the Dutch and French Ministry on the same subject; his application to the latter was referred to the Academy of Sciences at Paris, who coldly replied, " They could not judge of countries they had not seen ;" and nearly 70 years after, when Captain Cook returned from circumna vigating the globe, it was left for Great Britain to add the vast acquisition of Australasia to the Empire, and by the settlements in New South Wales to con firm the positions and realize the anticipations of that enterprising man. The last Sydney Gazettes bring only general local intelligence, but they bespeik by their appearance activity in all the movements of the settlements. An Agricultural Society has been formed, promising much advantage to the territory. Sir Thomas Bris bane is its patron; and some idea may be formed of the increasing number of respectable colonists, from eighty Gentlemen having sat down at Paramatta, at the first dinner of the Establishment in August last, when upwards of 1,5001. was subscribed, to carry into effect the purposes of the Establishment! The new-formed settlement at Macquart ie 'Has hour, established as a secondary place of transporta tion for the °Wending convicts, had continued to make successful progress. The coal here is found good, and easy of access; and the timber, both in quantity and quality, answers every expectation. As a proof that the increase of luxuries keeps pace with the more solid improvement in all the comforts of life, an advertisement in one of the Sydney Papers invites masters of vessels to pick oranges for their sea-stores from the trees of a settler, at sixpence per . dozen. A very few years since, this estimable fruit was only attainable in the colony at sixpence each ! The same Paper says, a house in Sydney is now selling colonial tobacco, fully equalling the cele brated American negto head in its strength and pe culiar sweetness. The bee-hives taken out by Captain Wallis, of the Isabella, fortunately arrived sale, and four of their thickly populated habitations are now in the neigh bourhood of Sydney, where the valuable little colo nizers seem to lose none of, their forces from their change of climate, but rather to. increase in thrift and hardihood. The owner expected to extend his four to twenty hives in twelve months, so congenial to their prosperity and nature is their newly-acquired land. Those cultivators of the vine who have selected proper situations have every prospect of being amply rewarded. Mr. Blaxland brought over some samples of Australasian wine in the Shipley, for submission to. the Society of Arts, who have awarded him the silver medal, in token of their approbation of its quality. %Vhile every minor source of wealth is obtaining du.: attention in the territory at large, the piiilcipal feature that distinguishes IVw South Wales, more immediately as it regards the interest of this coon. try, is the peculiar fine wool of its sheep. The very favourable prices it obtains here, and the high opinion entertained of its qualities by our most ex pel ieaced manufacturers, continue to stimulate the growers to increased exertion. On Colonel Purry's principle of the fruitful character of the 33d degree, the latitude of Port Jackson seems to be that in which the pure Merino breed delight and prosper more than in any other; for, although perseverance will ulti mately itn pro% e the flocks of Vin Dieman's Land, tiie settler -in that island finds in his attention to the fine woolied breeds, difficulties to contend with ui.knowu . in their more congenial climate of New South %Vales. LORD GLENBERVIE.-ThIS Nobleman (who origi nally distinguished - himself as Mr. SYLVESTER DOU GLAS) died at Cheltenham, on Friday last, in the 80th year of his age. Before his elevation to the Peerage, he was for some time principal Secretary to the Earl of Westmoreland, as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland ; and a few years afterwards, was appointed one of the Paymasters-General of the Forces. A PLAttc FACT.—Within the short period of three months, Three Prizes of £20,000, One of £lO,OOO, and Twenty-three other Capitals, have been sold by CARROLL, at his fortunate Offices, No. 19, Col nhill, and 26, Oxford-street.--No. 553, a Prize of £(20,000, and the only °tie yet drawn, was sold by CARROLL, in the present Lottery. The Last Grand Day, and Finish of the Lottery, will be THURSDAY NEXT, when Both the Prizes of to,ooo, and All the other Capi tals, must be decided. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SOBERTON DOWN RACES, :11AY 1. These Races boasted of a larger assemblage of company than has graced them for many years past : the weather was very fa vourable, and the sport batter than has been custczn.ay cn this beautiful Course.

Captain Beetham was mounted on that cele brated hunter Thorn, and Mr. Thissleton rock his grey mare, one of the best of the Farley llunt. The distance is abaut nine miles, in a straight direction, and the race was a very severe one. The competitors gallopped together, taking across the country, with many hazardous leap., until tricy reached Skottesbrook church, where they separated, each making the best of his way into the Bath road. Capt. Beetham got into the road at Knowle llill, and his opponent a mile nearer M dile-ahead, and they were together a mile from home on the high road. A.i depend, d now on speed, and Thorn had it.

He had a predilection for one that might terminate in mouth, possibly from his partiality to Lord SIDbIOUTH. Some tme intimated that he might gratify his wish, and at the same time comme morate the country of his origin, by taking the title of Van Os. lint this, though it went" trippingly on the tongue," was rejected, as of too foreign a tound. The difficulty was mentioned in conversation to Mr. CANNING, who suggested, that in compliment to his aritluxetical tutor he should take the title of Coccsa • nfoutli."—British Press. ST.

Carter wishes to fight James Ward on the same day that Neat and Spa ing fight, and at the same place. CLAWI L'Y AND ACV/N.—TO-morrow, within '24 miles of Lon don, the above pugilists will enter the ring together. Wednesday, a battle was fought near. Buxton, in a field called Lydia's Island, between WHLE#ING, a Lancashire man, and a stout Hibernian, of the name of LANGAN, for a stake of £lOO. The Lancashire man was seconded by two Amateurs, and the Irishman by Reynolds and Halton. Ned Turner and Bob Pnr oell also attended. About two o'clock the men peeled, shook each other by the fives, and the mill cotnmenced. 'lire first round the men came up to the scratch with good humour painted on their mugs, and after gathering up and breaking ground for a few seconds, Wheeping gave the Hibernian his first welcome to English ground, by a kind of cross-buttock. In the second round. however, Wheeping was met in so tremendous a manner by Pat's right hand on the temple, that he went to the ground as if kicked by a horse ; and, after fighting eight rounds, victory was declared for Langan.. Saturday, a fight took place between two natives of Aylesbury, who have acquired some little tame in the rtignistic art, named Henry Eldridge and John Slaughter. Ilulva Trunk was the scene of action, where, after an interchange of hard blows for more than half an hour, victory was declared in favour of Slaughter (though by far the lightest man), his antagonist de clining to fight any longer. A letter from Shiptony near Tavistock, says—" Two men, having quarrelled, determined to end their dispute in a pitched battle ; when one of the combatants, with horrid oaths and curses, threatened to wreak his rancour in his rival's blood. Heaven, however, arrested his progress, and, with curses on his tongue, he fell senseless to the ground !- He was conveyed home, and medical aid procured, but in vain—his mouth, which he had so prostituted, was closed in eternal silence.
