[From the Dublin Patriot of Oct. 5. • We fear we must prepare our readers for the approach of scenes of the most dreadful character. In the southern parts of the country the work of murder, plunder, and devastation has again commenced, and, as may be collected from the sub joined accounts, seems to have its origin in a regular and deeply organised system, one of the objects of which, as these iv:roams snake conclusively manifest, is the destruction of the Chords Establishment. It is in vain to disguise the fact. There appears a grneraleonibination among a large and desperate por tion of the southern population to enforce the reasonings of en infamous press, by the plunder of the clergy ; by withholding from them their legal and just rights, and by the destruction, to these cads, even of the blessings of a rich huvest, bestowed in nserey lo oar late wants, by our benign Creator ! How -far such a system is likely to succeed, the deluded miscreants who engage in it are soon fated to see. [Front the Clawed Advertiser.] Ott Sunday night last a dwelling house on the lands of Ros iest.* n, near Tburles, together with a quantity of wheat, was burned, we have every reason to suppose mslicluusly. The house was occupied by one Miles Hough, who as well as bis wife, son, and a man named Carroll, narrowly escaped. On being awo ke by the barking of a dug and the lowing of a sow, they discovered the house in dames, sad had merely time to escape when the roof tell in. [From the Cork Censtilatitue] We regret to state, that the system of nocturnal ming, is extending into other districts in this coonty„bitherto re markable fin. quietness. On the night of Sunday the 22d ult. a cow, the property of John Hudson, within one mile of Yougnal, was houghed ; and on the mine night, the corn of a poor man nailed Cronlin, on the lands of Burgess, near Killeagii, in the same district, was set on lire and totally cotwined. Monday night, two stacks of corn, one of *beat, the other of eats, were maliciously burnt at Dallynamons. On Saturday night Captain Keppach and a party of the 22d 'regiment. under his command, with some police, detected a amisiderable quantity of fire arms iu the neighbourhood of Newmarket. RENEWED DISTURBANCES. The following resolutions have been entered into by the magistrates assembled at the Mallow Special Sessions We the undersigned magistrate* assembled at the Special Sessions at Mallow. on the meth of September instant, under the 'owns:Won Act. have observed with extreme regret and disap• piitotnient. that the spirit of disturbance, which we hoped lord been extinguished, still continues to exist among the . yemantry, and to manifest itself in acts of outrage and in venous parts of ibis country. " That scarcely a night passes in which some malicious de struction of property by the doci not take place. That the ProperijisoriestMyea; is, in - general, corn or hay, seaport for tithe, it belonging to persons who have made an agreement with the tithe proctor. • That the wickedness of these acts can be equalled only by their folly, because the law will give compensation to the indivi duals against vivito the attack is directed, and the loss will fall upon the parish or bagony to which the incendiaries, for their own ashes can intend ho injury. .• That we pledge ourselves to inquire minutely into the par ticulars of each occurrence of this kind which loos happened, or which may happen, in our respective neighbourhood, and to give veiny Ithablallee in our power to those persons who may Alive to seek compensation fur such louse, proviikd their conduct oar the occasion shall appear to have been fair ;and manly ; but thine persons whose behaviour has been such as to give encou ragement to this system of outrage, rather than to suppress it, and those in particular who have put their tithe out of their bag genie. after Whig ones brought in, can expect no aid or sympathy from us. • That we pledge ourselves to give liberal rewards for iofor station which may lead to the detection of persons guilty of such outrages, and observe the strictest secrecy, it require!. e' If any persona entertain an expectation that they will be able to efr.et their relief from the paymeutuf tithe by these or any other aces of violence, they are grossly mistaken ; on the contrary, the commission of such outrages may justly be urged us one of the strongest reasons fur refusing to take the subject ever, into consi deration at present ; and we should hope it is only necessary to these circumstances to the respectable tanners of the county, to ensure their support and co operation in putting an end to this abominable system." 'Signed by Lords Doneraile and Ennismorc, and eleven other highly respectable Magistrates.l Ooe night last week a very estensive haggard, belonging to Mr. Hellenism wis attenipted to be destroyed by setting lire to the centre stack. The smoke was discovered before it had ignited, by some of his neighbours, who immedistely apprised Dir. fie/ennui of it, and tendered their assistance in throwisg diria awl maiming 'the rest of the stack, which with the help of others immediately in Mr. Ilellernan's employment, they succeeded in getting done, without any further loss than one stack. [From this Patriot Dahlia paper.) BISHOP or CLoctlait.—she wimesses who arrived from Looduti a couple of weeks since, hiving undergone a preliminary examination in Dublin, by Sir Henry Meredjth, were subse socatly 483;011.41Iva to time seat of judicial iarestigatioa at Armagh. The proceedings io the Metropolitan Coon have already coinnumcetl. Ttte Lord Primate and assisting Bishops have heel sitting during the last few days; and before these right reverend personages, the regular examination of the ac cusing witnesses has taken place. This part of the process will, it is understood, terminate to•morrotv. The course which fol lows next will occupy, perhaps, about 10 days more. The eo clesiastical law has peculiar filial //, and directs intervals be tween the publication of the charge against the accused pasty, the examination of witnesses, and the other distinct parts of the proceedior's. Judgment will be pronounced, it is communicated to us, eith er on the lat hs or 14th Memo. Of course , no doubt _ . Call exist of its being that of deprivation ; in other words a Te minal iroin all spiritual rank and distinellek the dispossession of all church revenues and emoluments, and an exclusion for ever from say connexion with the clerical character, The Court having thus finally closed its sittings, IS days will be •allowed to the accused party to appeal against its judgment ; when. as nu appeal is lilely to be entered, the sentence of de privation will lib officially promulgated. The Bishop of Clogher is at Paris. ' elk times, sad said the rope was ready en board Go schooner for banging him, if he did not immediately deliver np his property, and all monies on board, the ship's manifest papers,.and parcels, whiob they tore to pieces and threw about the deck; they took all the Captain's money, plate, two gold watches, oae silver ditto cheonoineter, sextant, charts, writing desk, with all its papers ; they then proceeded to Messrs. Peddes and Swint, who delivered op all their property, but having suspicion that Mr. Stuart had money concealed below, they beat him cruelly with a naked wend, threatening his life ; during which time another boat came alongside, hill of armed men ; they then ordered the crew up from below, and desired' the Captain to follow their schooner in towards theme, and get the anchor ready ; is the act of the sailers getting the iron cable front below, they cruelly beat and cat them. They ran the ship un a reef, as the crew were cutting the anchor from the bows ; they then ordered the hatches to be taken ofl; and all the mitre • to be hoisted so deck, part of which they lowered into the boat. —They ordered the ship's company to unbend fore and amain gallant sails, flying gib, &c. and took sails from sail-room, colours, awning !rum inarter-deck, &o.; they eves ordered boom and irons from aloft, with a quantity of running rigging, blocks and tackle ; likewise safer, beef, pens, and other pro. visions, with candles, paints. and two compasses, and plun dered the coins of all its stores, breaking and destroying every thing that came to band, still continuing their cruelty ; they *cde the whole ail the Captain's wearing apparel, beds and linen. Messrs. Fedden and Smart were served in the same manner, nor were the ship's company exempt; the steward, being a black, was served in a most shocking manner, by bring cut and stabbed in several places ; they rassecked the ship fere and all, and took all the live stock, wines, &c., destroyed the medi tines, and were about continuing further devastation whew bailed from the schooner to board a brig to leeward ; they left as then, and proceeded to the brig ; during all this lime the ship was beating very heavily on the reef, and it required the greatest exertion of Captain and crew to get her off, which she did at 10 p.m. after being obliged to slip her cable.

The Captains consider themselves much indebted to Sir R. Mends, for the prompt manner in which he afforded them every protection. Captain. Popplewell spoke the brig Blacken, Capt. Smith, on the 13th. Captain Hearn, of the brig Viitutia, was pas senger, who stated that his brig, as well as the F:meleovusir, were taken by a piratical schooner off the Saddle Hills. Since the above, we have information, that the brig which was plundered, put into Havanoah, and that Sir R. Mends sent her out spin, with a compliment of men, when the pirates bort down, and a number of them having conte on board, were all taken and hung immediately. The schooner was also taken. The following letter appeared on Wednesday last, on the board at Lloyd's:— •' Admiralty Office, Oct. 9, 1822. Sta,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of the 7th jest, respecting the capture of two British weasels, the Vittoria anti lostlostry, by a piratical schooner, near the island of Cuba, I am commanded ►y their Lordships to acluaint you, fur the in'Onnation i.f the Commit tee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that their Lordships hail already received an account of that trausactiore from Capt. Walcot, of his Majesty's sloop Catruetion, who had been di rected by Rear-Admiral Bewley, to tale up a station in that neighbourhood for the protection of the trade, and who writes, under date of the 12th of August, that on that day 17 trail of the Jamaica ships had passed safely round Cape Antonio, and that be was waiting iu that quarter to sec the remaining vessels also safe. " Ilia Majesty's stoop Dotterel was also in the neighbour hood ; and Sir Charles Rowley reports, that his attention lias been directed to this quarter. In addition to which, my Lords hare taken further measures for the suppression of these pi caries. " I am, Sir, " Your •ery humble servant, J W. CROXER. " To Jaw Bennett, jam Eaq. Lloyd's." OZALIC ACID AND EPSOM SALTS.—The sim plest, and at the same time readiest modes of distinguishing the poisonous infusion from the genuine one, is to take a common table knite, perfectly clean and dry, and dip the point of it to the extent of about an inch in tile dissolved crystals, and then lay it over the glass or cup, exposed to the atmospheric air, for about a minute. If the solution is that of Lpsom salts, the blade will not change its hue; but if, on the &misery, oxalic acid, it will infallibly turn black. A moment's reflection on the common elfixts °lapilli: or lemon juice (weak acids) on steel, will suggest to every one toe truth of this communication. The will of the late Sir W. Herschel, Knt.

BULL-11AITIN0.—A case of bull-baiting came under the consideration of the magistrates of Aylesbury on the 2istii ult. It appeared, that on the Wednesday preceding all c the rabble of Aylesbury and its vicinity , even to 'Phone, al^ leehil in the elegant entertainment of bull baitiiy4 .— Lord Na' gent with inclined to avoid abridging any of the indulgences of the lower classes where they could be legally permitted. lilt Lonlship proceeded to show that though in certain cases the practice is indictable as a nuisance, yet as the law now stands, Pull-baiting in itself is certainly legal. In proof of this he referred to the ancient statute of James I. as well as to certain tenures, and noticed above all that there are charters in which it is specified, and on the strength of which the practice is, in the 1 aces covered by them, necesaatily continued. PIRACY. The following is an extract of a letter from Cap tain Hearn, of the Valeria, bound from Jamaica to London, r.ild dated on board the brig ItGrad!, Liverpool, Oct. 3 :— ~~ It is with great sorrow 1 have to communicate to you the capture of the Vittorio on the 7th of August in the Gulf of Flo- rida, by • pirate. She left Jamaica on the 27th of July, and nothing particular happened till the 7th of the following mouth, when shortly after day break • brig appeared upon my starboard bow, about seven miles nearer the shore than I was, Saddle Hill bearing S. by E, distant 30 miles; a short time after • schooner bore in sight, • long way within the brig before men tioned, and appeared to me to be working up along the coast ; when at 11 a. m. I taw him close to the brig, bet I could not distinguish what ►hey were about. An hour after be was with. is gunshot of me, rowing with large scoops, there being a very light air from the S.S.E., so that the Vittoria could scarcely steer. He came close to, and desired me to brave to until he sent his boat on hoard, having then American colours flying. did so, when a bust-load of the most desperate robbers human nature can furnish, headed by au Englishman, who it appears had formerly been mate of a West Indisman, came on board armed with muskets, pistols, and cutlasses. He ordered me, together with my chief mate, second, and three of the crew, to go into the boat. I did so, and was taken on board the schooner, which had still American colours lying : when 1 got on the schooner's deck, I found to my •stonishtueot the captaiu of the brig to In Captain Cook, of the brig ladiattry, of Mon tego Bay, which I bad spoken a few days before oil Cape An tonio. • Captain Cook, together with four of his crew, were secured below. We were then strictly searched, and every thing taken from us. Tue pirates then made sail with the two brigs and their schooner towards the laud, a little to the west ward of the Saddle Hill : the chief of the ro'ibers then came to me sod told me be knew I had motley stowed away. I made answer I had not ; what I hail, he bad already taken away : he then said he would more th 111 probable find wit, for he would do to me what he had done to a wester of some vessel he bad previously taken, which was, that lie bad put him into a large Ore on shore, and then he confessed where he had money stowed —for which, however, he still burnt him alive. Ile had then in his possession in some creek within the Colorado% Beef a Dutch ship and an American, discharging, .and said lie would take our vessels into the saute place. They continued to run in with the laud during the whole of the afteraooo ; and about 5 p. es. the chief robber took Captain Cook, together with his crew, on board the Industry, pot them all below, excepting Captain Cook s whom be tied to the windlas, and made four of his men fresh load their guns and fire at him ; but they having a little more of the human being left them than their master, tired at random, which was the preservation of Captain Cook's life. The chief robber then came on board the schooner, having first secured some of the brig's men below on board of his own vessel, and left her in charge of five of his crew, to follow him. When he had been on board • few minutes, he again came to me with his knife in one hand and a cutlass in the other, and declared he would cut my throat ; I asked bins what would that profit him, since lie bud taken my ship and my all from we ? His reply to me was, that if any Engli h ship of war gut hold of lion be would he hung. I answered—mare then probable. Night coming on, and the vessels still running down the land, we were put below, and two sentinels placed over us, and at ten at night they came to anchor in four fathoms. The head robber then went ou board the Vittoria in his heat ; and, according to the statement ,1,1 my carpenter, C: Lewis, who had never been taken out of the Vittoria, made him take down all the lining of the cabin and break open my trunks, lbe. he there found a few dollars, and after drinking some time, he left the Vittoria, and came on board his own schooner. About midnight he celled for one of the prisoners ; my second mate was going on deck, when be was stopped by the ceolinel, sod ordered to keep below. At this time we beard • great noise upon deck for a few moments, but in a short time all was again quiet. Vi hen the morning came, they ►pied to give us the Indiostrg, but not a single thing, only as we stood : so you may suppose in what a deplorable state I ant at present. I can only add by thanking the Almighty that I sin spared with my life ; for if the chief robber had not been killed (which wan the noise I have already attested to) that night, which we did not know of until we were all on board the lackstrg, he had made a vow when be left the Vittoria that the moment he got on board the schooner he would hare my life, end was only stopped by one of his own people murdering ban, and he was (brown overboard very quietly for fete we should know it. The command of the vessel then fell to this Englishman, who would not so much as allow re a change of clothes, but told me nada think myself well off that my life was saved. Vie woe fell in with the Blacken, which has brought me safe here." [The cargo of the Vittoria, we understand, has been inland at Lloyd's for more than 30,0001.1 A correct statement of the plunder of the Edward Prothro" of Bristol, on Monday, 10 a.m. ltah of August, 1822, opposite Saddle.hills, coast of Cuba : .` As the Edward Protheroe was standing in towards shore, • schooner hove in sight, hearing to W., which bad, on first seeing, the appearance or a drogger, with It boat at her stern ; when we tacked the relrioner was withie musket shut, fired three muskets, and ordered its to heave-to (at which time several brigs and ships were in signt) and send our boat on board ; but finding our boat at stern to cause detention, they imme diately hoisted their boat out, and came alongside with ten men, who had the appearance of savages, with draws swords, kuises, and pistols; after boarding, they drove all the ship's company down the fore hatchway, when some kept guard, re !Hoarder came on quarter-deck, and sarrounded the Captain and Messrs. (redden and Smart, passengers. The Captain they tbre►teped • ith death, drawing a Waite across his throat several
