I DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. LIMERICK, Ocr. 24.—This morning, one of the 4?d regional', on Lis march from hence to Rathkeale, having fallen nut nom his party, who had not at the time been atiove three hundred yards in front, was attacked by a p •ny of fellows, whoiomped from behind a ditch near Longhmore, one of w horn struck him with a spade across the temple, and took Root him his musket, am munition, bayonet, and accoutrements. The arms were also taken Mint two °Mils, on their march this week, in the neighbourhood of R. bkae. ou Mood ty melting alma six o'clock, JaIIICS Keenan, one of the Comity Limerick mounted police, on his way Iron Ratlikeale to Croon), was attacked near the village of Cruagh, by seven men, all armed, who hail jumps d front behind a ditch ; one of them seized his horse's upon which the policeman drew his pistol, and unfortunately missed ; he was instantly knocked off his horse by a blow from smite heavy weapon ; his Car bine, pistols, swonl, and atitinunirlon, &c. were then taken from him, and being placed on his knees, all the surrounded bun with blunderbusses, and desired him to prepare for death; however, by the interposition of their leader, his life was spared, and he was ptlmitted to mount his horse and retire, oil taking all oath. Some horrid impreemions against the entire police and the magistrates were used by the gang. On Sunday last, during divine service, the glebe house of the Rev. N all Garstin, near Kilpescon, about three miles from this city, was entered in his ab sence, by twelve men with their lies blackened; some of whom secured the sett ants, while others tool:veiled up stairs io Mr. Garstin's bed-rowan, limn whence they took two blunderbusses, two cases ut pistols, and two guns, and retreated with great speed towards the direction of Flullysimons. Sonic of them were in a state of nudity in the retreat. 1110:4 of the gentlemens houses in that neighbourhood were Olt the sante day either plundered of arms or at tempted, and not less than twelve houses we arc informed have been riddled of arms, tither by strata:4t•iii or force, during; the last week, within a circle of three miles. A serjeatit and 12 of the 70th Highlanders are since quartered at the house of the Rev. Mr. (larstin, who ex pected a visit from the nightly insurgents. Whilst the police and a party of the 40th regiment were patroling the vicinity of A keaton otiSa outlay night, they were attracted towards Rock-abbey by a con 'holed fire—in a short time they came up with a large body of insurgents, who, without notch ceremony, attacked the military, but nu returning the fire, the de luded peasantry decamped in all directions. One id - the police. named Nlargliti, was badly wounded, as was also one of the insurgents, who was uhset tied to fall, but was carried away by Its associates. The total darkness of the night prevented the military and police from making ally prisoners. On Thursday night last, between the hours of ten and clever o'clock, the house of Mi. William Means, of Elton, was attacked by a number of armed ruffians. who tired several shots in the direction of his bed, which on hearing them he had just left • a thick iron-screw was driven through the heath of bed anti a partition, which lodged in the opposite wall . the curtains of his bed took fire front the wadding of another piece; every window in the house was smashed to atoms. Alcany being severely afflicted with rheumatism was unable to give them much opposition; he is a very loyal and res pectable man. The houses of Patrick Grady, of Rillynturphy, E. Nialony, Edmond and Carmody, of Ashford, and several others in the same neighlxnathviod, were also attacked, and fir,: arms taken therefrom. Extract ula letter from the neighbourhood of Billin gaily :—" I have just learned, that on IVednc-day :light • the entire Ic id was stripped and plundered off Mvam house, which had been lately !milt by Captain Duggan,' between Kilinitly and Maltonagh, in this connt), by an armed banditti. The purpose fir which this lead was plundered is obvious. The niisprided ruffians arc o u t every night in arms, committing every species of crime, aril latterly have posted notices as well against the pay ment of rents and taxes, as tythes, and in several instances have compt•lled Camels to abandon their limns. which they have occupied for several years ; in truth, nothing !Own of the most coersivc measures will bring this un happy country to a state of stiborditiation. At present, no hie, no property is secure." A notice of a Most diabolical nature, signed " Captain • Jahn Rock," was posted on the gate of Mr. Leake, of the Abbey, near Ratlikeale, on Sunday ; it was t ken down the next morning by the police. it notice, signed "Captain Think well, Road Surveyor; and County Ranger," calling on the parishioners of Hal y brew, in this county, to meet fin Sunday relative to plies, was generally posted on Saturday. Toe assent blag,e was however prevented by the appearance of a strong military force on the wound. This morning thirty dragoons with peace-officer Smith, left Rathkeate fur Cram to prevent an illegal meeting %Villa is called by the wool i-be legislattirs relative to tythes, which it was intended to hold gal that neighbour- hood this day. Extract of a letter from Newcastle:—" It having struck that active magistrate, Godfrey Nlassy, Esq. that would be of sonic use to go to the chari and exhort the people to WWII to their allegiance and surretidi r their arms, he accordingly consulted the Rev. Mr. Hoch ford, the parish priest of Nionagea, who encouraged Mr. Massy to do so, and which lie accordingly did, awl, I ant happy to say, that front the goon and salutary advice given them by that worthy elt•r,yritan. and r.

MONDAY, OCTOIER e 2.-1 trial involving some very extra. ordinary circumstances occupied the court a great part of tin' , day. J. Conn, and Timothy Foley, the former principal, the latter assistant clerk in the office of John George Newsom, Esq. one of the Sitting Aldermen, together with John Morgan and James Murphy, bailiffs, were arraigned on a charge of assault, false imprisonment, itupoistion, and extortive, eh under the colour of the situation,. they filled, and further aggraveted by their vie time being umwotected, though respectable females. The fol. lowing is an outline of the case, us detailed in the evidence:— On the I tilt of September List. the traversers, Morkem, and Murphy, received a warrant front come person to arrest a mum named Keleher fur a debt, upon the condition, as appeared, of • No puacluese no pay," or in other words, they were to receive no payment until de/ made the sorest. Aeeintlinelv, at about twit o'clock on that day, they proceeded to Mrs. Armstrong', in George% Street, where Keleher had for some time lodged. On their inquiry die informed them that Keleher was not at home.— At eight o'clock on the same evening they rammed. and having got a similar answer from Mr Arnestriiee, that. Keleher was not within, they declared their purpose, mai dentamltd the key, of several departments, which, all but one, were delivered to them by Mrs. Armstrong, who pointed out the veep of which she had not given the key tei that in which Keleher lodged, who then had it locked, and who, in leer, was in the room nt the time, but without her knowledge. After having in a very violent and authoritative manner, scarclicd all the other nano., and finding they could not obtain die key, or admission into the, they be came more elaniourous and violent, charged Mts. Armstrong and her niece with assisting in a resale, and threatened to break open the door; but on being informed by a boy who had seen him out, that while they were at the doer Keleher had escaped through the window, they went off, declaring they would make Mrs. Armstrong sitar for assisting in the re -cue. as they tcrined it, and pvventing their earnito , the nine/ they had engaged fur. It further appeared by the evidence, that they then went to .Mr. Neweont 3 office, where, on consulettion with the traversers, Conn and Foley, the plan of the subsequent part or the business was arranged. Accordingly, and in putsuanee of their threat, they returned again at ten o'clock on the seine night with what they called a warrant, which they had obtained frum Cnnn and Foley. against Mrs. Armstrong and her niece, a young laity who resided with her, bah it' whom they declared they would immediately take to bridcwell, where they should remain all night, miles.. they instantly peideix shillings and six pence, what the fellows were to receive err arresting Keleher. .—This Me:. Armstrong peremptorily refused, demanding to be taken before the magi-trate. :kW without permitting her or her niece to get any kind of covering, ulthauali the night was ex • trtmely melenient, or even to futon the dour of the filmic, these two females, at this tineeteonatee ?Mtn. eintrary to iemonstrance and entreaty. were headed off to Alderman Neweies office, where the other traversers were waiting in their magisti rial ca pacity. Ott reaching the office the traveriet Foley was seated at a fled: and the cue being stated, he desired that Al rs. Armstrong shotialittmediately pay the money, or that she must be com mitted; Mrs. Armstrong, however, persevered in refusing to do to, until die should see the Alderman himself, who, she was in formed, in an ,wer to her enquiries would arrive immediately.— In a kw miriutes afterward., the door wee opened, an I tine of the persons present called out `'• Here is the At lan." Way was then made, and the Traverser, Conn, entered and took his glare at the desk, where he was addrew eel with the appellatson of '• Alderman by all the others. The case hieing stated to hi Worship, Alderman Conn, he prinotimeel ttie same decision as his Iterity had already done— Mit the Gs. fel. west be paid. Mrs. A., howcver ' knowing Alderman N.'s person, was still refractory, and peoteeted against the decision ; but at !meth finding there was no alternative, lather than be sent to iiritlewell witit her nieee,:she agrcel to pay the motley. Here, however, it new difficulty arose, for tin search- Mg her pockets Mrs.A. was 2s. 2d. short of the sum required, one fraction of which the Magietteues, or their worthy compeers, would not remit! Fortunately. however, a person named McCarthy, who happened to be present, genetously paid the de ficiency. A receipt was them requited by Mrs. A. and given fur the 6,4 rid. in which two nation, not of either of the parties, were inserted; but this, on being observed upon, wee corrected. Mrs. Armstrong Wilt then p ermitted to epart, and on the fol lowing day, having con , lilted - with sonic of her friends, she laid information against the traversers before Sir David Perrier, upon which they were arrested. To intimidate her, however, from pniceeding upon these informations, the traversers, Morgan and Murphy. subsequently laid infornuttions tbr a rescue, and assist ing in the escape of Keleher,. at Alderman Newsom'. office, before Alderman Conn. A wariant of the some description as the former was issued, Mgt. it, however, by Alderman Newsom e who, it appeared on the nail, was then residing near Passige , but was in the habit of leaving werrams, with has signature, to be tilled and used in his absence, when tett:med. Airs. A. and her niece were again armsted—again in the Alderman's absence taken bell ire A Manual Conn, and ordered to find hail under the charge, or in be committed. Bail wee accordingly given tar a sum of Gs. id. which was required and paid, and Mrs. Armstrong was once more at tiiterty. All these facts having been folly proved in evidence, the Jury, without a moment's hesitation, (Mind all the traverecre guilty.

COCRT OF K ING'S BENCH, Novutenelt I. KNOWLES, V• lIORSEFALL AND OTHERS. Thls was an action of troves : verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Con it. case was this :—Knowles, the plaintiff, is a wine merchant at Liverpool ; the defendants are assignees of William Dixon, fortnesly a wine meridian, at the same place. Dixon, previous to In batik isiptey, imported certain brandies from France ; entered them to the re gular way at the Cullom-house, and hoode•ei them in his own name et Liverpool. According to the practice of Liverpool, goods are bonded in different parts of the town, la lite purpose of suiti n g the convenience of the importer. A merchant having no warehouses, or insuffi cient one a, of his emu, places Ids property in a hired building; and Mr. Diann lodgil his brandies pal sly in a wasehouse which he rented annually, anti partly in a warehouse which he hired fur the time Irons a ihait of the name of Lestlon ; the two waieltim.e.s being severally secured, pier,tiant to elision), by thief- locks; and the keys of those locks being kept, one by Dixon hiusselt, as importer, one by the officers of the customs, and one by the owner of the warehouse. In the month of Fehruary 1919, the plaintiff Knowles bonght from Dixon . twenty.seven pieces of brandy ; stud on the Ist Maid' following, lie re-sold 10 pieces. The len pieces re.s. , ld by Knowles were delivered f Dixtdes keeping; the remaining seventeen were to con tinuo in bond as long as he (Knowles) should think fis. Regular Invoices were made out, and Dixon received his purchase money from the plaiut Knowles re-sampled the brandies in the presence of an excise officer, and marked the casks with the initial of his ; hist D. soli sumo time after becoming a bankrupt, Ilse sesenteen pieces of brandy were claimed by the assignees. The question for the Court was, whether the goods re mained in the order and disposal ul Dixon, so as to gsse him the I /Toted ownership. Mr. Tindall, for Ilse plaintiff, contended, upon the authority of " es parte Flynn," I st k ins , and " - Waite v. Cook," 241 Taunton, that Ihuc WAs Slot iu the present case such apparent ownership in Dixon as the Law would requi►e to give the properly to his assignees. From the sale by Dixon down to the time of his bank. raptry, Dixon was merely a warehouse-keeper to the plaiotilL The Lord Chief Justice.—Dixon can scarcely be con. sidervd as a mere warehouse keeper. The goods are WS originally, and they - remain in his possession ; how is any one to know that the property hiss changed hands Mr.Tind4ll submitted, that the affixing of the plain tiffs initial (the letter K. was sufficient notice to all the wine trade that the brandies were iii him. Mr. Parke (for the defendant) was aloud to address the Court, when The Lord Chief Justice intimated that no doubt could be entertained ml the ease : the whole of the sew mesh, pieces were (within the me. gof the statute) cicairy in Ilse possession of Dixon. As regarded those of th e 17 casks which lay in lee warehouse of Leds.m, why had not notice of their sale been gives, to the (holder ? Ledsoo, as the rase stood, would vI. been josi 'lied all rluag , and after the alleged sale, in delivering them to DAon. % i regard to those casks which renrainvil in the *alehouse of Dixon, the mete smirking of them with the letter k was nu i11111113(i011 to the generality of people that the) were, or had become, the properly of the plaintiff. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER. The general growth of wheat would probably have proved a lair annual produce but for the extensive effects of a late mildew, and the damage sonained by continued rains, the accounts of which are lamentable front all parts, but more su from the northern and western dis. trios, where much corn still continues abroad, 310 great part of that got up has been in so damp a state as to occasion many stacks to be taken down. It is to be feared that a large portion of this year's bread corn nut pass over the kiln before it can be ground, even wish the dryest grain. From the large quantity of this inferior corn, the average price is not likely to reach that which will warrant the opening of the ports. The barleys are generally discoloured, and those which lay long on the luxuriant young clovers are more seriously damaged by sneering. Oats have been Milnerl less than any other crop. Enly sown Peas, on tender coils, have been har vested well ; the latter ones have suffered alike with Ilse which, by remaining so long on the ground after entimg, have shelled more than probably the oldest farmer can remember. 'flue calculations of the duty on hops, in the Ilmough, have proved much over-rated, the quantity and quail!) , being found defectite on picking in the chief grounds of Farnham, Kent, and Sits.ex.— The potatoe crop turns out a very productive (tile in 1 11 quarters. Turnips and colesecd contimuc promissing, but the cabbages put out early continue to run, front the moisture and mildness of the seasoo. The grazine muti nies abound with better feed, yet the graziers continue to deal with cannon for their new stock masts, though they are of by the Scotch and Welch drovers full 'to per cent. miller the last year's prices. Stoic ilicep are north rather more money. The dealers have found but few purchasers at the late fairs even fir their best fi e ld o f cart horses. The meat markets are supplied on the low terms of last morn!' fir every article, except small ',rime beef, which commands in Smithfield rather a bent r price. The seat of B. It. Marsack. Esq. Cranchall, in Buckinghamshire, was totally destroyed by fire at two o'clocek On Thursday morning, and the flames were so rapid in tic dead of the night, that the in mates had a diffieu:ty in escaping; the fire began in the laundry, a wing of the house, but not de tached, and ni.t hare been occasioned by some clothes left to dry taking ; the interior of the house, together with the furniture, was dentolidicd in less than hour; it had been beautified and orna mented in Scptcmkr last. The Spry sloop of war has been paid oft' at Chat. ham, nod the Bann, of l 8 guns, 1 prepriq at that port fur service.
