44 -. . -~ IREIAND. Durittl,r, FEN. 4 —Saturday morning, about three u‘s..l, , ck, the house of Michael Hany, who is a steward of c ire-taker to a gentleman residing at Balgadtly, at the I 'itti Lock Grand Canal, was entered by eight men, vv Ito, after breaking Fond destroying every article in the ,retinae', set the whole on fire; all was burned to the smund. They also stabbed a cow and a calf in the out house; broke in pieces a valuable jaunting car, and strewed about, irrecoverably, a quantity of oats; it is believed, not less tlutit 20 barrels. Lest their vengeance :nookd nut be complete, they also took care to see these totally consumed before they depart, d. A carpenter, of the name of Daniel Meehan, has been taken into cus tody and completely identified, and sworn to as one of the incendiaries. While the flames were at their height this man was heard to exclaim—" Here I am, Captain Rock!" He is now a t the Bead-olfice, and, it is tw clerstood, a most rigid investigation will take place into the whole circumstances to-day. It is rumoured that the Dublin Stair have made two more prisoners. A post had been established ar Churchtown, a village not far frotr. Doneraile, county of Cork, where a party 4,4' police was stationed—the house they occupied was thatched; it was surrounded by a large number of the Insurgent 11'intehoys, and set on fire. The stable ad joining the house, where the horses of the party were kept were also set on fire. The police front within kept tip a constant firing, which it is presumed must have killed awl wounded a great many of the assailants; but the fire increased until the roof fell. The Police, fore seeing this casualty, were prepared, and having come out, continued the fire; the Insurgents returned the fire, but they were at length compelled to give way, and leave the Police in possession of the ground—but the victory was dearly bought. Of the whole party, consist ing, it is believed, of sixteen men, lour were killed and eleven wounded. The chief constable was among the wounded: both of his arms were broken, and be was otherwise bodily injured. All the horses, with their accoutrements, were burned in the stable. On their retreat, the insurgents carried off 'their killed and wound ed ; among diem was the body of one of the policemen, which they took away by mistake; it was found next morning in a ditch, at souse distance from the scene of action. ( From the Dublin Morning Post of Tuesday last.) We have some itightful additions to make tills day to the revolting detail, already be tore the public, of motes committed in our distracted country. 'lite following statement has reached us by a private letter :—At a vil lage named Teo ryglass, near /3orrisukane, county Tippe silty, in a chstiict hitherto peaceable, the cattle of a far mer named Boland were driven under a decree. The constables were attacked by the peasantry, the cattle rust ued, and one of the men named Larkins killed 1 BARBAROUS MURDER OF" Rat li MA JO HARE. kea Rl e, F eb. I. " beg leave to acquaint vou, that lasi night, about the hour of twelve, the house . of Major Hare, of Mount Henry, about three miles front this town, was attacked and entered by an armed party, who immediately proceeded up the Major's bed room, when it is supposed they met some resistance, and they murdered him. He ass shut through we body across the chest, the ball entering at the right side, and passing out at the left.— ,They took three excellent gnus from the house, and posse ammtstsition. His wile was in the room the whole mute; they murdered him in the louby. Major Hare was a gentleman of the utmost affability, was a long period in his Majesty ' s seivice, and has lelt a large family to deplore his melancholy murder." TRALEE, Fes, 2 —We have great pleasure in stating, that we received an account last night, by the mail that nine persons charged with being iniioicated in this base and cowardly murder, h a ve been apprehended and brought into Killarney, and are to be this day sent for ward to the county gaol. " CHARLEVILLE, FEB. i.—Last night, before ten o'clock, a large body, well armed, attacked three houses in the village of Churchtown, six miles from hence, in which sixteen men and fi ve hors es, belon g in g to Major Carter's police, were quartered. It appears that the po licemen shade a gallant defence, and did not surrender till their ammunition was nearly exhausted, and the house (which was thatched) in flames about them, when they cause out to gi%e up their arms. Two were shut dead on the spot ; one is missing, supposed to be killed ; five wounded, three severely, having broken arms — sultana them, Mr. Lunbdeta, chief constable; and one dangerously. As soon as it could be done with safety, the wounded Were brought in o Mr. ClOll . l, house, where they lectived every kind and hit nape attention their unfornonatesini enion required. The five bursts were burned to death in their stable. Tie firing and coutlagration were heard and seen at a great distance. After this work of horror was completed, the air resounded for souse time with shouts of triumph ; Dr. Bernard, woo dressed the wounded this stunning, and attended the inquest es ellitt;, has furnished toe with these particulars, on the ulna 4)1 which you may rely."

It is known to all our readers kliat limishowen is fatuous fur illicit distillation. The officer conaniandina the revenue police, having received information concerning certain stills, went with his party to seize them. The peasintry offered fierce resistance, and we regret to state appear to have been too successful. The officer had his arm Iractured, and six of the police are said to have been killed. The particulars have not yet reached us, we believe the reader may rely on the foregoing statement. (From the Dublin Morning Post of Tuesday last ) There have lien sonic threalettinic notices pu•ted at different places oh the county—one, of which the fol lowing is a copy, was posted on a barn gate, belonging to a man named Patrick Toole ; it was turn down by the Rev. Mr. Keenan, Parish Priest : " NOTICE TO JOHN ROURKE. 66 That if he does not, against the Ist of February, 1822, pay his men at lourteen-pence a day, employ them as usual, from six in the morning until six in the night, and also turn that monster Malty out •f his employ n►ent, that his concerns will be burned. It is requested that Mr. Pat. Toole shall not tear this notice down, as he did before, or any other person; if they do let them abide the consequence. (Signed by order,) 6 ' CAPTAIN ROCK." (Fiona the Cork Intelligencer of 71gesday.) DISPERSION OF A PARTY OF WHITE BOYS, AND DEATH OF THEIR LEADER. A numerous banditti commenced their lawless pur suits in the neighbourhood of Castlegregory last night, 311 d we are happy to hear, me: with another of those spirited repulses which they have generally encountered in this county. William Twiss, Esq, of Tullareen, having received information that a banditti had deter mined to attack and burn his house on Thursday night last, prepared himself for defence. As his house was thatched, he thought it adviseable to take post outside is, within a wall, and there avant the arrival of the ban ditti. He had not been long in this position, attended by his son, and we believea toad person, when he heard the gang breaking into a nei b libouring house, and shortly after he saw them, to the number of VOn, ap proach his own. He immediately dared them to conic on, when a shot was fired at I ' , which was instantly returned, and a smart fire kept up. The terrified ruf fians soon became confused, and began to fly, at which time Mr. Twist's small party clued on them, and taking delibera►e aim at the nearest of his assailants, he killed him on the spot. All the rest of the party now fled, but Mr. Twiss's son pursued then►, and succeeded in taking two prisoners. The person who was killed proves to be a fellow of the name of Casey, the son of a farmer in that neighbourhood, above the ordinary class. A bayonet was found on his person. The two prisoners were brought into town last night, by collector Twits and a parry of dragoons. Nearly one thousand persons came yesterday, to Mr. Twiss's house to see the body of the deceased Casey.— Mr. Christie, commanding the Water Guard in that neighbourhood, promptly reinforced Mr. Twiss's small party, and the multitude were cautioned against maul testing the smallest symptom of violence ; after which the dead body of Casey was given up to them. , A party of the Kerry Start were ordered yesterday to . Tullarees, where they are to be stationed. FROM LAST NIGH7"S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCIES SUPERSEDED. J. Summersett, Chatham, Kent, tanner. P. Watson, Liverpool, merchant. BANKRUPTS. W.

That " All things should be judged of by com parison" is an old saying to which very few rational beings will object, and by comparison we would have calculated the present estimation in which the Ministers of the Crown are held. In times past it has been customary for the servile Echo of the King's Speech, as moved by the parasitites of Mi nisters, to be passed nemine contradicente, or if a division on some particular occasions have been in sisted on, the mover and seconder of the amended Address have usually constituted the minority. On Tuesday night last, to the eternal honour of every man wko voted in it, it should be recorded, that the minorities were, fur adjourning the debate 58, and for Mr. Hume's amendment 89, leaving, in the latter division, a majority of only 82 in favour of those who, unfortunately for their country and for humanity, are still permitted to hold the helm. On Thursday night, Mr. Coke presented the county of Norfolk Agricultural Petition, and sup ported it in a speech which will be read with de light by every one who would applaud the disse mination of truth in all situations, whether in the presence of a misruled King or a grossly corrupt House of Commons—but the language of Truth was, and has long been " unparliamentary," and the worthy veteran Member for the first agricultu ral county in the world very properly called to order—the other Member for the same county would perhaps, have been more cautious in his vatnitings, had his worthy colleague been nearer his own age. —On the terrific subject of the affairs of Ireland, the House was next engaged—by the outline of the measures projected by the Marquis of Londonderry, we anticipate a renewal of the horrid scenes that disgraced this country in the administration of the Government of Ireland, while Lord Castlereagh did his native land the honour of attending daily at the exhibition in the Castle Yard. We shall, we fear, again have a history of cruelties and to tures inflicted o•t men of honesty, of honour, and of pro bity, on account of information given to Government by spies as infamous as those favoured tools of the late Secretary fur the Home Department, Castles, ~.~~rr~ `fix- _ ~ _ 1 ` ` ~.. r I.m.
