rRELAND. DISTURBED DISTRICTS. (From the Dublin ('urrespondent, Nero. 28.) ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER.. Letters received in town this day from the neighbour. hood of Kannada, mention the assassination of Captain Waters, who lived near the town of Newmarket. This dreadful deed was perpetrated on Sunday night last, and the letter which communicates the intelligence was writ. ten the rollowing day. Alien:plat Assauination —On Sunday evening the 25th, as Mr. Wigglesworth, of LisnAdurnagh Mills, situate wr.hin two miles of Roscommon, was returning home, a shot was tired at him, by a person %% Ito was concealed behind a hedge. Fortunately the ball only tore a part of the gentlemait's coal, without touching his laxly. As the mare on which he rode started at the shot, he was thrown on the ground, and before he could rise five of the assassins rushed on him, lUr die purpose of instantly dispatching hint. He immediately cried out for mercy, and as soon as the villains discovered by his voice that they had mistaken the object of their vengeance, ihry allowed him to depart without any injury. There is a gentleman its the neighbourhood of the place, who strongly resembles Mr. ‘Vigglesworth in dress and size, and who rides a horse of the same colour, as Mr. W's 'HAT, and as lit is obnoxious to the peasantry, probably he was the intended victim, „Sf~. ~~ ..,, 3 • noway. Dec. I.—The Yeomanry, we understand, are to be called out throughout the country; orders to this effect, it is said, have been dispatched in all di rections. The Revenue Corps hare received circlets to embody themselves. There was a mei ting of Yeomanry Officers 'at the Castle yesterday, when it was resolved, we learn, to put the Coy Yeomanry on permanent lay. LIMERICK, Nov. 28 —Burning of a (,Karel—Ott Friday night some villains maliciously set fire to the Parish Church of Knockaue, near Killarney, in the United Diocese of Arillert, and totally consumed it, with a number of Bibles and Prayer-Ir oks contained therein. '('he churchwardens of the parish were also threaened, a kw days before, with either loss of life or property. if they did not desist from collecting the Church Cess. It MA very generally reported, and communicated to us by letter, I root a very respeciable gentleman in Tralee, on Saunday, that the house of the Rev. Edward Nash, at Larchville, near Trak'', was also attacked on Satur day night by the same gauc, who murdered Maj. Collis, and that Mr. Nash was wounded in the breast. We are happy to find, by a hoer received yesterday from that gentleman that the report is groundless: Sir H. Dillon Massy, Bart. and the other gentlemen of Doonas stud its vicinity, County Clare, have formed an armed association, and entered Into excellent regula tions for the preservation of the peace of their district. Lord C. Manners, 3ti Dragoons, Newcastle ; Colonel Dick, 42d Highlanders, Ratlikeal ; and Lieut.- Balfour, 40th Regiment, Newcastle, are appointed ma gistrates of the County of Limerick. Yesterday a detachment of the I Ith regiment arrived here from Cork, with anus for yeomanry corps, to be forwarded to the County of Clare. Some cases were also deposited by the saute party its various towns in the counties of Cork and Limerick for like purpose. CORK, Nov. 29.—8 y a letter received in town at an advanced hour yesterday, we learn Our on the preceding (Monday) night, a party attacked the house of Captain Curran, also an officer on the half pay establishment, and a nephew to the late Master of the Rolls, in the same neighbourhood, from as hoot they demanded arms , which not appearing disposed to comply with, they dragged him out. and probably would have murdered bins also, but providentially, that a gentleman, who hap pened to dine with NIT. Curran, found the arms, and gave them up, upon which they went off. WATERFORD, NoT.29.—Connvnitted to the county gaol yesterday, by Henry Alcock, Esq. Michael Walsh, charged with being one of the party of five, who feloni ously entered the dwelling-house of Thomas Walsh, of Williamstown, on the 28th of September last, and took thereout one blunderbuss, and several articles of wearing apparel. On the night of Sunday last some miscreants entered the stack-yard of J. Elliott, near Tempo, polled down a number of stacks, and dispersed the grain and hay in such a manner, under the rant, a. damaged both beyond recovery. This is the same person, we learn, whose newly-built house, before he had removed to it, was le velled some nine or ten months ago, by a similar violent proceeding. Outrages in the founts of Rosconurion.—On last Toes clay night the house of Captain Master, in the parish of Moore, near Liallmasloe, was attacked and entered by a bauditti, who demanded fire-arms. Fortunately there %sere nn tile•arnis in the and beating a s..ru ant w Ito attempted to tre• vela them, they d; parted, without taking any thing with them except a lowlier-horn. Ott the night of the 2.2 d an armed gang entered the house of one M'Creevy, near?. Fatryinottitt, and after having threatened to shoot hint, look from I a gun. A letter from the C y of Kerry mentions, that a Memoir to Government, praying for the reitinactment of the Instirteci . Act, is handing about for siguattires among the gentry and principal Inhabitant% under the rancitim of the high sheriff and persons of leading taw tatee. It was thought adviseable tilt ur call a pithhc meeting. winch by to cessarily withdrawing persons or enn.ultration and pinaterly front their houses Ito a day, would leave the titaitraettis au easy opportunity of phot o, ru.g them of ante sin t heir at settee. (Front the Dublin !intend of Tiewloy.) There is nut pane' in ;nv work or int irtler—.,ul rage fol.. bon s upon ont.aAe, and almost every hour brings fresh t ins r os or the foulest and must appalling excesses. To day, it is our duty to add to our records of crime, two cases of the most savage and heartless barbarity—the assassination of an innocent woman, sleeping by side of her husband, and in the midst of her babei ! the uli• tempusl murder of het huslmud, and the plunder of his THE NATIONAL REGISTER - _ dwelling I—in a county, too, in which deeds of such atrocity are novel in commission, and whose population had not hitherto been infected by the lawless and incen diary spirit of neighbouring communties I—Really, the heart sickens at the details of the countless barbarities which now crowd the pages of our public journals—the disgrace with which they cover us is almost mama!, and we fear indelible. To-day. the billowing letter was addressed to us by a gentleman of high distinction, resident at Boyle, in the county of ROSCOIIIIIIOII. " Boyle, Ll:c. 3. " Sir,—Referring to my last letter, written in great hurry, I have now to inform you, that the murder was perpetrated on the night of the Ist instant ; the circum stances respecting it are as follow :—Tince ruffians, with their faces blackened (one disguised in woman's clothes), forced their way into a shepherd's cabin near littocka doo, within three miles of this place, when they lit a candle, and demanded whiskey—but the shepherd, who was in hed with his wife, told them he had none: they then drew from under his bed a ox. worsens was con tattled 41. in bank -notes, the property of his master, which they took. Perceiving the shepherd about to have his bed, one of the villa i its immediately stabbed him in the left breast, with a bayonet, which he had fixed to the end of a bludgeon, and which the shepherd seized amid wrestled Isom ; in the mean time, however, he was stabbed by another 4.1 the savages in several places with a knife, part of which was lett in his bo.:y. He made his escape, running across two fields to the cabin of a neighbour—die blood gushing from the wound in his breast to such a degree, that the door of the cabin where he took shelter, and al , ainst which he reclined until opened, was cempletely covered, and the colour of the stood nearly extniguished. %Viten the shepherd had effected his escape, the inhuman miscreants stabbed his wife in several parts of her body, and fractured her skull with a piece of wood which the poor family had used as a candlestick—leaving tier quite dead by the side of a sucking infant, and two older children, in an ad jacent pallet, " The shepherd is still alive, and may recover, tho' his case is at present very doubtful. He has given in formation against one luau, and another has been appre hended upon suspicion, from what transpired yesterday at the liquor. " There is no doubt entertained that the shepherd knows the three savages that murdered his wife, and that they are known to a maid servant, who was in the house at the time, yet the dread of being murdered prevents them from even communicating their suspicions; but both declare. that they can identify the perpetratots of this dreadful deed, if 'brought before them. " Henry Fry, Esq.'a magistrate of this county, has been very active ob the occasion, and 1 have tto doubt will cause the other two suspected persons to be appre hended,—Constables are in search of them " On Wednesday night a paper was affixed to the post office of Clonmel, mentioning that many proclamations, besides the one offering rewards for discovery of the out rage at Tubber, would be necessary The saute night water was poured into the receiver of the said post-of ffice, to the injury of several letters therein derosited. ( Front the Duttin Morning Post of nesday ) That active and spirited magistrate, W. Coitus, Esq. Captain and Adjutant of the Kerry regiment of militia, suspecting that a quantity of arms was concealed in the neighbourhood of O'Dorisey, Liana, &c. no the night of Sunday last ordered out a detachment of the staff o the regiment, and aided by D. M•GtilcuJdy, jun. E s q. late of the royal navy (who volunteered his services on the occasion for two days and nights in succession), made a strict search to a considerable extent in that part of the country, and succeeded in seizing upwards of 30 stand of arms, besides pistols, bayonets, swords, &c. which were yesterday brought in here by the detachment, and lodged in the military stores of the regiment. Too much praise cannot be given to these gentlemen for their prompt and useful exertions on this occasion, and for the persevering spiirit with which they continuA the search, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the darkness of the nights, and the badness of the roads, in an intricate boggy country ; and it is but justice to the detachment of the Kerry stall to say, that they perform. eel this laborious duty with the greatest zeal and alacrity. We hope all the other magistrates of the county and pro vince will follow this laudable example ; by measures equally prompt and efficacious, nu doubt the diabolical spirit of insurrection, now so prevalent, would speedily be stipprested. 4pprehcruion of two more oithesuppored Murderers of Majo► Colas. TRALEr, DEC. I.—A matt of the name of Gallivan, who is charged with bring (113 e of the murderers, was apprehended yesterday evening in Listowell, by the ac tive magistrate, Dr. Church, whose zeal and efficiency stand so CUIIVICUOUS at the present moment, and is most creditable to our county. It having been understood that Gallivan, who is an inhabitant of this town, had gone to Listowell, intimation was sent to Dr. Church to this effect, who instantly proceeded, in company with the gallant Mr, Kitson, to the house where Gallivan were understood to be, and found bun in company with two other persons. Gallivan made some show of re sistance, bin Dr. Church, potting a pistol to his head, caused him to surrender, and secured hint. Out his per , ton was found a bank post-bill for Got, Iss. 1 id. which appears to has e been alicrul from nit. 41. A suspected character, of the name of Pninbvide, has also been arrested by Sir John Godfrey, Hart. of Mill town. Both of these men are to be transmitted this day to the comity gaol, We CPT happy to state, that the utmost activity pervades the whole county, tor the ap prehension of the monsters concerned In tins murder.

On Thursday there was a Court of Common Council held, for transacting various business, more particu larly for the receipt of the report respecting the knights. bridge affair. The Lord Mayor (Magnay) too) took the chair at twelve o'clock. HIS MAJESTY. The Lord Mayor having taken his seat, coinmuni. eated his Majesty's answer to the City Address and invi. tation to dine with his lordship. It was read, and or. dered to be entered on the Journals. Mr. Alderman Ilitowse complained to the Court of an indecent canvass that had taken place after the acci. dent which had taken place to Mr. NVontner, the Mar shal, when the City was taking up the Address to the King. That gentleman he was happy to communicate to the Court, was considerably better ; and he was happy to be able to add, that he thought Mr Woutiter would soon be able to resume the duties of his situation, nut. withstanding the severe accident which had befallen him.—(Hear, bear.) Several reports from the Committee cm City Lands were then received, read, and referred hack to the Com mittee to see them carried into execotirm. The officer of the Court then _read the report of the Committee of General Purposes, which censured the want of arrangements on the part of the constituted au thorities to prevent riot and lt at Knightsbridge and elsewhere ou Sunday, August 26; that the measures and conduct pursued by Mr. Ald Waithman were most wise and prudent; and that the Committee had not heard of the inquiry promised by govermnent having been com menced. It having been moved that the report be adopted, Mr CLARKE moved, that the evidence be produced and printed. Toe Lord Mayor after a long debate put the question, that the evidence taken by the Committee of General Purposes be produced ; and that the further considera tion of the report be postponed to the next Court day, to afford time for the evidence being produced and trans mitted to each member. Motion agreed to. The Court, having disposed of the remainder of the business, which did not possess any public interest, ad. jourited. The Court was by no means fully attended, but below the bar was crowded. FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. FOREIGN OFFICE, DEC. 4. The King has been pleased to approve of M.
