DREADVUL ATROCITY. (From the Limerick Chronic*. ) On Friday night last, Messrs. Katy and Smith, of Captain 'Wilcock's Police, succeeded in apprehending the noted James Fitzgibbon, Partrick Carty, John Molony, and Thomas Collins, all of whim are charged with the wilful murder of Click Burke. Eng. in Feb. last, near Capps : they are lodged in Rathkcale Bridewell. On the next morning at ten o'clock, a female who had been seen the day before at Itatlikeale, and who was conceived to have peen information which led to the apprehension of the four fel lows, was waling on the avenue leading to Cappa-house, on • Saturday last, about the hour of eleven in the forenoon, a man seized her, and dragged her into a grove that stands by the avenue, and there with a razor cut her tnroat across, but provi dentially the design of the tulfian is frustrated, as there are sari pine hopes of the girl's recovery. This scene soak placewithin from twenty to sixty yards of a cluster of houses, one of them a forge, the door of Ankh opened towards the spot to which the assassin drew her, and in that forge were four men atplie moment. We must state that no suspicion of collusion tests against these four men, as the noise in the forge prevented the girl's cries from being heard. There are two police men stationed at Capra, and Mr. Peppard was walking within sight of, and not more than two or three hundred yards from, the gal at the time the transaction occurral: one of the twit public roaihi is the county runs beside the place where she was attacked. Wit bin the last few nights parties of ruffians visited several houses between Clarine and Adore, in this county. They flogged a Lamer. named Lynch, at Brisket; and the dwelling of Mr. C. Pinker was attacked by en unarmed party, who beat him for not sending out hi. savant to be flogged by diem. Monday night. John Frayley received a flogging, near Rath. keale, from a party of ruffians. He was suspected of giving information. At an early hour on Monday morning, a communication reached the Police-office of Captain Droughty, in this city, that at six o'clock on the preceding evening, two men of his infantry corps, named Gunnell and Armstrong, returning from Castle Connell to their gloaters at Bird-hill, were attacked on the Gouigg road, and that the former was murdered, and the body se pposed to have been thrown into a bog-hole, as no trace couid be found of it. At three o'clock, however, a messenger arrived, who stated that Gunnell had been found in the corner of a ditch, at some distance front where the attack had been made upon lam ; and dial, though wounded and stabbed in several parts of the body, he was likely to recover. On Friday night, the Rev. Sir Wm. Reade, Bart., returning to his i,lebe, at Tonigrany, county Clare, was attempted to be as imamate(' by a fellow who darted horn behind a wall, and dis charged a musket at him; Ilia contents of (two balls) struck the opposite wall; end Sir William happily escaped by the fleetness ot his horse. This active magistrate was after apprehending two mien on infonnatim. and had given them in charge to be con veyed to 'I oingrany bridewelt. Every exertion to ;Limit:bend the delinquent who tiled was prompdy made, but without effect. On Saturday night seine villains threw stones at Capt. Middle. ton, lad. when visiting the guards, near the Square. Major Nicholson has lodged in Kilkenny gaol three brothers, I named Ryan, tOr murdering James Egan, at liathlogai, on die Ilth Sept. A gang ot robbers. who broke into Captain Morgau's and Mr. Haines houses, on the Glanmire toad, last week, have been apprehended by die High Constable ot Cork, after a desperate resistance. On Saturday night last, Lieut. Milligan, of the Rifle Brigade quartered at Newcastle, attended by a patrol of Ids men and a few of Captain Wilcock's po.ice, marched from Newcastle to the mountain of Glencluti: They cautiously proceeded along the different ley-roads and the extensive chain of mountains of ?dor niaown, Monism:. Glemore, end Ratheeltill, by which manieuvre they succeeded in apprehending l• men. After a fatiguing march ot upwards of 30 miles over mountains and through bogs, they arrived next day at Neweastie, where the prisoners were lodged in the Bridewell' Coax., Steer. 2t.—Scarcely a night passes without some conflagration of tithe corn, in an otarage emeneeted with the system. Those farmers v. bo bud purchased their tithe corn, and even made it up in their 'laggards, have been compelled to unmake their stacks and draw it back to the lields,. under the penalty ul the most aevere,puniaiment ; and where some poor men had hired their horses for the porpose el ratuoviag the tithe, seogeance followed, by barbarously litrughing arid maim big these animals. At this inomeut there remain throughout that district, several qoaraitiea of tithe corn, for which agreements bid been made by the grower with the proctor ; hut such is the terror that is spread, that all those arrange meats are annulled on the part of the farmer, wl.o dare Hot take one sheaf of it into his posses sion. Such is the atatenitut we are now obliged to oiler ; it is much to be lamented ; it calls loudly for some permanent mesa erre, that will restore peace and tranquillity to the country, and put au tad to those hot rible excesses. A haggard, within a quarter of a mile of Mallow, was set fire cud COLalliDeCi e 4 MVIAlaf night. The patrol oa Sunday I,• . • r l id, IN- 1 4 . 1 t Titt 24k1ii5NALIVEG !STEM eight, in traversing the country in the direction of Bottevant, reckoned three fires in different directions. The utmost claim consequently prevails that neighbourhood. On Wednesday night two horses belonging to farmers in the neighbourhood of Anuakissy, were houghed, in revenge of their owners having 'iodated in drawing the tithe coin of the Reverend Mr. Bennett. It appears that that gentleman, having failed in his endeavours to compound with his parishoucrs fur their tithes, wits obliged to draw them, a d induced several of the farmers to bring them to the church-yard of his pariah chars!' ; bat euuld not prevail upon those persona to bring them any further. Their loads of hay and various kinds of corn were thrown out of the carts promircuouely into the church-yard, and such was the prevalence of the *Meru of terror, that nal a WWI could be got to stack or rescue the confused mass. With a view to bring.theni to Mallow, a distance of about four miles from this church-yard, and there to have the corn and buy properly secured, Mr. Bennett hired the horses which were afterwards so barbarously maimed , and on the same ui , ht on which this cruel act was committed, a notice was posted con taining the terrific threat, that t` if auy one presumed to draw ►hat corn, &c. might bring his coffin with him h" The menace had the desired effect. blr. Bennett has be, u unable to get any assistance in removing his properly from the churchyard, and there it lies. The outrages in that neighbourhood were not coo- Rued to the above-nrectioned fvets—they were numerous and appalling, as we learn by a lette. received this day from a gen tleman who resides in the Lease of the High Sheriff, at Church town, dated on Wednesday Wight, which contains the follow. ing alannin , v expresaionn Burning every night quite close to us—il has now the appearance of St. John's day. of light ing bonfires in every part of the country. It appears that those ruffians, who are thus setting the country in a flame, linen been histigated by the suggestions of permit's posseesing much more knowledge than could be expected from the wretched instru ments employed in these oatrages. The incendiaries being aware of the vigilance of the magistracy, the military, and the police, have procured a cliymical preparation, which, being placed in a stack of hay or corn, sets lire to it in some time after the preparation is deposited; those miscreants, then, by being at a distance front the lire, escape with impunity. This has been rendered manifest by au oc. urrence which took place on Tuesday night. Sir Hugh Gough, the officer who cominan.:s the military in it uttecant and the surrounding district, having received intimatioo of the intention of burning a haggard, on that night stationed a party of soldiers in ambush, hoping thereby not only to prevent the mischief, but also to seize on those who intended to commit it. After waiting a considerable time, the party, to their inexpressible sin-prise, beheld the haggard burst out into flaws, without the appearance of any agent to produce the conflagration. Strr. 39.—it is with feelings of horror and indignatiou that we announce the most daring instance of burglary and murder which has been perpetrated in the suburbs of this city for a length of time, and one which has spread terror and alarm among the inhabitants of a peaceable and populous district. Teeter day morning, at one o'clock, an armed banditti entered the house of the Rev. J. B. Crcagli, Hyde-park, in the north suburbs of this city, and having made a noise which awoke the butler, man of excellent character, of the name of 3l'Cor mick ), lie gut up and went out, when they shot him through the neck, said he expired in a few minutes. The house of Mr. Condon on the kVellingtomroad wan at tacked on the same night by the same gang, before they went to Mr. Creagh's and that one of the party was taken by a son o f Mr. Condon'a, but rescued by the others, and in consequence of the alarm they made uhf. The Waterford Mirror of Monday, after 'giving the above articles, adds the following :—" We regret to nay that accounts mill more distressing Irma the immediate ♦icinity of Cork reached us last night. Of their authenticity we have no doubt, but our information is not sufficiently precise to warrant details. The same conveyance brought es unpleasant intelligence from the confines of the counties of Cork and Lime rick. On the •20th instant, as Martin M'Maliou wan in the act of driving cattle for rent due to Mrs. Bradshaw, of Kilteely, . was attacked by a number of peasantry, who beat him Ind and fractured his skull. Ile was conveyed to the County in firmary in a dangerous state, the cattle was rescued. WATEMIRD, SECT. 30.—We are sorry to hear from un questionable authority, that outrages have been committed on valeatorn of tithes in the neighbourhood of Aglis, in the s•,uth west of this county. It is apprehended that these outrages proceed from a very dangerous and extensive combination. TilA LEE, SePT. 29.—A few days More, two young gentle men hating some difference iu the streets efScaritl, county of Clare, which led lox boxing match, min of them in a moment of irritation ran into his father's house, and having taken a fowl ing piece which was loaded, fired at his antagonist, whom lie missed, but the shots unfortunately took effect upon a young man standing near, but totally unconnected with the party, and who now lies in a elini,erous situation. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER. Harvest was finished in the southern and forward districts during the course of the last mon h ; in the northern and less favoured, during the present. A tolerably accurate general estimate may now be formed. On all the best lands, wherever situated, the wheat ctop is considerably above an average, the quality uncommonly weighty and fine; and the straw, although not so bulky as in some years, substantial and extremely valua ble. The oat straw, as fodder, will almost equal the hay of some years. The spring cups, it is now confirmed. are generally defective, but the quality is generally good ; upon moist and productive light lands, however, sonic of these crops have reached an average ; and, with respect to barley, it is remarked in the barley counties, that the old stock on hand equals in quantity the new growth. Hays and grasses rather of tine condition than very great plenty, with exceptions of heavy crops and constant plenty of green food, particularly aftermath on various parts. On potatoes and turnips nothing new, the former a universally productive growth, the quantity greatly enhanced by superior quality, the latter defective in both ; as to Swedes, scarcely any quotable crop. The eagerness of the farmers, and the two growths, occasioned part of the wheat almost every where to be caned and stacked prematurely ; whence heating and a necessity of preventive measures. A great bop and fruit year, even to pears, in some parts. The greatest grape season of the last 40. like eider manufactory has commenced. The live stock said flesh markets, as well as that of corn, have of late made some .wand and some advance of price; but autumn, the season of plenty and of overtiow, is at hand. The failows are backward for want of rain, and vety little wheat has yet been pet into the earth. The state of the farming interest is truly deplorable, in which the poor labourer must necessarily share. Sir Henry Bunbitry has taken ths lead in recommending, by a circular to his Suffolk tenantry, the discontinuance tor the present of the use of the threshing machine. ChITIIISM.—A party was very uncharitably dis cussing Mr. Bank Idatory of Rome—" Really," 'add a gra tientan, " yon ail appear to las very hypercritical and cansorioua, fir my part, 1 like hi:. Komo much Letter thaa bia company." , .... • . ... • - 13 - ETLik:L UNION. A meeting of the British and Foreign Seaman's Friend Society and Bethel Union, was held on Wednesday evening at the city of Loudon Tavern, Bishupsgatc-s•reet, and notwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather, was most nu merously attended. The Right lion. Admiral Lord Gambier was called to the cruel:. at 0 o'clock, and after a prayer had been made by the Rev. Mr. Brown, of South Ockendon, and a petal sung by the company assembled, the retrospect of the proectd ings of the society during the last year was read by one of the secretaries. From this document it appeared that one of its grand objects had been to diffuse through all ranks of the cam inanity a proper concern for the moral and religious state of seamen and aeahoya, trusting that, when that was accomplished, means 'night be devised to improve and *meliorate their condi tion. The success of the exertions it had already made ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations of its warmest fiiends, and was to he seen iu the fact that the Bethel Union was now frequently requested by moral and religious parents who had children with an inclination for the sea to point out to them •' such vessels in the merchant service as had commanders who feared God." It likewise appeared that the society had taken into consideration the state of the waterinen who ply on the Thames, and that the result of their inquiry had been to dicover that there were 60,000 persons on the river for whose religious instruction nu specific provision was made. The retrospect stated that the society bad dune what it could for them, by causing sermons to be preached ut different stairs and in various chapels ; and added, that a new gosling chapel, to be moored or the 'fuwer, was in contemplation for their benefft. To check as far as possible the drunkenness and impurity to which sallies ere exposed by lodging iu public-house*, and the shameless imposition practiced upon them by unprincipled men, the society took, last year, a house in Ilermitage-walk, Wapping, furnished it plainly with beds, &c. and placed it under the superintend ence of a pious active Men, who has spent the greater part of his life at sea. The mos► happy consequences are ant,cipated from this plait, which has met the approbation and support of the East India Company. The retrospect, which extends over 20 closely printed pages, concludes with a minute detail of the efforts which the society has made at our different outports for the improvement of our sailors, and of the attempts which have been made in foreign countries to co-operate with the exertions. After it had been read and approved of by the meeting, several reverend gentlemen addressed the meeting, and inculcated the necessity of contributing to its funds, as it appeared from the financial accounts that they were nnequal to the expenditure which the society had to meet. Several resolutions were thee put and carried ; officers were also chosen for the society during the next year. Thanks were then voted to Lord Gaut hier ; and, after another psalm had been slung, and prayer made, the meeting broke up ; hut not without leaving a liberal contribution for the society in the hands of the gcutleinen who stood to collect it at the doors. . 314 .I& ,1 / 4 • elik P* LONDON FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

During the earliest years of Sir William G---'s practice 4t the bar, his clients were almost wholly of that respectable class of individuals on whom the Old Bailey depends for celebrity, and whom the late Dr. l'orson used classically to designate by the appellation of the gentlemen of the FUR trade. — After devoting, for ten years, his unrivalled talent at confounding truth, to the extrication and salva tion cf the bankrupt members of this fraternity, the learned counsel happened by some accident, to be employed for a creditor, or, more plainly speaking, for the prosecutor of afar merchant. The trauffer of the goods was proved by two most veritable wit nesses ; but the defendant produced a first-rate character-man to prove that they could not possibly have come into his hands, because he was a hundred utiles out of the way. Mr. G--w, feeling that if this man was believed his case must break under him, set about impeaching his credibility, by ask ing, " Now, Sir, upon the oath you have taken, will you swear that for these ten years past you have ever been employed by an hones/ man ?" Mr. Fielding, who was counsel for the prisoner, stopped the witness in his answer, by observing dryly " The best way for the witness tc answer that quo; tion is to put it to the learned gentleman himself.' Paine WHIPPINO.—On Monday morning at an early bout, a crowd of spectators assembled in the Old Bailey to witness the public castigation of six individuals, who had been convicted for variousolfenees at the Sessions just fermi nate& pursuant to their sentences.
