His Lordships party left one of the 3 Oth on the ft.

E Eyre, who, accompa toed, by some other gentlemen, and a small detachment of 4 ilitary, horse and Out, tinder the command of Fail Fitzclarence, instantly set out out for the place. tau their arrival, however, at a short distance nom it, thei observed the people assembled so tittitterotts, and hies position they occupied so inaccessible, that they con aide red it better not to advance without a. reinforcement, aura until a communication could be bail with the gene ral of the district. Accordingly, a gentlemao was dis p d shed, who arrived in town oo Tuesday evening, at ttv o'clock ; and, Pam the prompt measures adopted 1.1 the general, no dumb'. the loyal and peacable M tn bitaitts of the disturbed districts will hod protection nt id seettrity, while those deluded miscreants will speedily o eet the punishment they deserve. Oct Sunday last, Captain Krappock and Lieutenant of the Regiment, surprised a fellow swvar ' lug in some people ut a pubilc-horse in Newmarket, and, atter a (mil; sirmt..le, succeeded in taking some pipers from them, whicn they attempted to destroy. We tutiterstand that those papers are 01 a most treason sole kind, and plainly show that the insurgents aspire to objects of a touch More imponatit nature than the a ddion of tithes. 'Fills morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Thomas Bonen, of Ilattecti, six tulles N. %V. of us, in company with another gentleman, walked about half a mile trout his and was astonished to see ail the adjacent hills for miles round, towfrils Mac l'oo3l, covered, amid to bear horns souutling in all directions; his tautly, with seve ral others, attired in town. yesterday a Posy Cotincil was held at the Castle, was IlUlliefollSly attended, and at which the Ba- Tllllll of Fermoy, in the County of Cork, and the Parish u Crarristowit, County of Ditblin, amid the Parishes in A rcaili, Clotialvey, and Piereetown Latoly, and Hynes tow ti Hill, in the comity of Meath, were proclaimed to 1.1. r tit a state of dint orbs ner d 411(1 to regaine all eXlCallt. es:ablishment of Police. Oti Thursday night, the Rev.

The vserend gentleman fled from the carriage with his fa mily, to a school-hou-e near the spun, where they se cured themselves, though in exureine alarm, until the morning. when they pioceetled on their way home.

By the air kat of the evenieg Cot k'mail coach, we have rt ceiveul several letters, by a hich ,se are enabled to lay toe following statement before the public : On Thursday last, the Killarney , coach, on its way from (•urk, was attacked, between Mill-street and !Barroom, by a party of those stetsons in arms, that have lately been -st..nateit Icy the unmeaning mane of 11 bile-boys, aho tied upon the guard anti C 0401111.111, bold of whom they wounded severely. The mambo s and the ferocity of the assailants made all resistance fruitless ; and the sudden ness of the attack would have overpowered, at once, a stronger protection than the guards of mail-coaches (meld pretend to make. Tliree of the horses are stated to have been killed by the first tire, and the fourth to have been taken away by the insurgents. While this occurrence was taking place, another of a snore serious nature happened ill the same quarter. A detachment of the Rifle Brigade, under the cottrimed of Colonel 2litchell,marched from their quarters at Benito), for Mat:room. In consequence of some concerted ope rations, as is supposed, between Colonel Mitchell and Mr. Hedgi s Ey re, an active and exemplary Magistrate of that county, the troops advanced on the norther', road, be• tatter hlacroorsi and Mill-street. An armed party, which had also moved unites the guidance of the Magistrate just mentioned, were encuuntered by a vast body of ineit, armed with various wimples, amid a regular battle com menced The detachment of the rifle corps were able to I..ke 810411 in the conflict. 311111 in a manner in which this ch,cription of force could be enaptoyed with its charac let ist le effect. The cot... wienee was, that a cutteideraine reinlier mil the i Joins ge.ds %erne killed on the spot ; some of the private tette; s etate,to the amount of V; ono rs du 110 make the uumber snore 111311 frank 2I to 30, and that se. serail prisoners acre made.

It may be observed that, amo n g those who were shut, there were scarcely any strangers Generally they were all tecosn'zed as persona who had lived at no great distance, and many of whom were comfortable farmers. This we assert upon ins dubitable authority. The coach from Killarney to Cork not having arrived at the regular time of its destination, some alarming surmises, natural to prevail at a juncture like the present, hail gained ground at Cork in the early part of the night of Thuisdnys A, commie events throw their shadows before ' there were several rumours in that city in the nut ruing, of I.llllle 11111.. rages, which nor correspondent. mention to Stave been teat ed to carrier, who had been bringing, butter to the merchants' stores. The matter, however, was put lieys.nd all doubt by it deapatch front Colonel Mitchell, which was received by Sir John Lainheri, the coimitandiaA officer of the Cork dis t, iet, at three o'clock on Friday nut det..iliog those circumstauces which tie have communicated in n general way. Sir John, immediately on re. els ing this despatch, sent two companies of the 111 E Foce, and proceeded himself at the head of a troop of the Calls - niers, fur Macroom, leaving, of umessily , the city, a very weak garrison. strati ER OLTIt A 0 LS. From Tipperaly, SO% the Dublin Ern:wing Pubt, we have a detail of some out tagey perpetrat ed iti thtlei cut part. of that country. We add the following letter , which was reeeiYed at our mike this morning. We can vouch tOr toe reapeetability of the (puler whence it has been . . . derived : " NEN AG tf, JA N. 25.—Tilia town is in a most dreadful state at present, last night's transartions are toot r fright ful than any that have yet occurred : a party of the yeo men went to the turnpike to take Horan: Horan heard dogs balk in the yard ; cause out at the back door, and was instantly sects: ed by two yeomen ; the remainder of the 'tarty were in the front, or stree•aards ; Horan seeing but two, then shook himself from one, and whipped the bayonet off the gun, and stabbed Rea, a yeoman, through the back, gave the other a box, and made off ; at this lime Horati's father, a Mall 89 years of age !tearing some noise itt th street, opened the front door, put cut his head, partly exposing at the S.llllle time his body, ter see what a as the matter, when one of the yeomen levelled his piece and shut bins through the abdominal viscera, which protruded from the wound. This is the account in substance that the old man gives of the tratetaction, so far its lie was con cerned. The wounded yeoman was taken into the house of one Garson, and taken care of, but certain persons being itichued to think that they were ill-disposed peo ple, arrested old Carson and his daughter, and lodged them in g tol w iiliont a warrant, or bringing them berme a Magistrate. The people in general are now driven to desperation, and we expect a general engagement with tile yeomen.

Another eitgaeetitent °centred between a party of the rifle brigade, who had charge of souse cars Weil with ammunition, which they were accompanying from .Ma croon) to Bandon, and a party of the same deluded peo ple, at a place called Clara Niountain, near Kilmurry, its which some of the latter were killed and wounded. Ott Tuesday evening, upwards of twenty men, armed with muskets, entered Curragh Hutu:. the ,eat of Sir A. Hunt, Bart. Ott entetins the kitchen door, they called lOr the gardener, and having proceeded to the room where he was, about tell of the gang tuck hint by the neck. and dragged hint out of the house into the yard, where others of the party had previutably secured it.e steward. The captain ordered them bow to prepare for death; to take ofl their neck-handkerchiels, and place them over their ryes. Tne gardener. who is a SCOICIIIII3II, requested to kit-.w what they had dove, and begged for mercy. The captain replied, that they t ere too loyal for their em ployers, in preventiret the poor people in these hard times fr cutting the timber and bth% away tort; and that they should stiffer death for surh behaviour. After DOOM dine, however, a honk was produced. and the gardettet was swum to leave Curragh by the Ist of February, ur he 'boob( certainly sutler tleatli. The ste ward, woo is a native of the place, was more leniently dealt with, as lie was only reprimanded, and cautioned nut to Ise so attentive its Wm,. They were all disguised, some having white handkerchiefs tied round their heads, and others with green and black veils tied close on their laces. Several house itt Kilcullane and Ragamtw were en. tered and plundered on the night of Tuesday last, by , an seined banditti. who uentatided arms and ammunition. Toe day following. Carew O'Orauy, Esq. attended by the police division quartered at Herbertstown, made an active search fur anus, which eontitined from 7 o'clock in tile evening to It tile next morning, and succeeded in taking a blunderbuss, two muskets, a carbine, a pistol. three bayonets, and two powtter-horns. together with a quantity of little, slugs, and buili:ss. • The noose of Ale. Ferdinand Lune. of Itellyhennety, was attacked on Tuesday 'iglu by a numerous baddito- Lieut. Kerry Supple, and hi: brother, Mr. hum Supple, were in the home with Mr. Le tie. 'I he ruffians de manded the anus, and received au ituaittcliate refusal from Supple. -~,://! • it, - A was in consequence hued at him, which ;dazed his lip; a volley was fired in return from Mr. Leyne's party into the midst of the banditti, and a continued fire kept up for some time on both sides. Two of the ruf. finis were seen to fall, and a retroat speedily ensued. A blundertmas, a great coat with blood on it, a pair of shoes, Ste. were left behind by these misguided men. Mr. Leyne is sure that two of the assailants were killed, and several wounded, as many traces of blood were eiseovered on the road. On Titursday morning, at eleven o'clock, the house of Mr. I kitty Oilier (within half a mile or the town of Castivislaud, where a military detachment is now sta tioned) was anothed by upwards of 200 ruffians, who robbed it of 14 or 15 stand of mins, which they carried off in triumph. lit the neighbourhood of Listowel constant outrages are committed. A few nights sitter Hallyhorgan Home, the seat of %V. It. Hillard, Esti. was attacked, and arms demanded. 'fire neighbourhooil of Killarney is also much disturbed: on Nliniday night about 200 ruffians went through Lord Kenmore's demesne, and proceeding to the house of his Liirdsitip's park-keeper, deprived liint of some arms and about nine pitundslif gunpowder. lit conuqiietice of the lion-arrival on Thursday even ing, in 'Era lee, of the mail coach front Cork, it was rtiermined to send the mail from Tralee to Cot k, on Friday morning, by a special messenger. Accordingly a Mr. !keret ))))) head clerk to the proprietor of the mad coach, set ant from Tralee on Friday moriiiiig, a t si x o'clock, on horseback, with the mail bags, and attended by one of the assistatite bilonging to the office. Oil their arrival at a place called Tuck beg, which is situate about twelve miles beyond Killarney, on the road to Cot k, they were surrounded by a erous party of the insurgents, who commenced their horrible outrages by mortally wounding the horse which Mr. Bieretim rode. They then drasged the tinlortunate wan to the giontid, and :Ina haying wounded him in several places with pikes and bayonets, fiaished the atrocious crime by seyering his head from his body wait a blow or a scythe affixed to a pole, or bihet of wood. The person who ac untra ined hint was taken prisoner; but, in the confusion of the moment, he was so fortunate as to make his escape. He brought the first account of this horrible act to 'Era lee. llutit.tx, JAN. 28.—We learn, with great alliction, that there has been a most serious affray between the military and the insurgents, near Kanturk. Toe troops were commanded by Gen. Sir John Lambert. It is stated that the insurgents had thirteen men killed, and it is said that the army also suffered, but lint so consider. ably. The country between Millstreet and Macroom niay be said to be in possession of the insurgents. We have just learned that an affair has occurred in the neighbourhood of Nlillstreet, between the peasantry and a part of the rifle brigade. The peasantry attacked the house co a man of the name or Armit. Wisile the attack was going on, a party of the rifle brigade ca ••e tip. The peasantry retreated ; but on a signal given, rushed down the hill. The military Geed, and killed six—the remain der lied in disorder, and thirty are said to have been made prisoners. KILKENNY, JAN. 29 —We are concerned to state, that at six o'clock on Sunday evening, the house of Mr. Max, of Garreeticreen, within a mile of this city, was entered Ey a number of armed oleo, who 1 reed their way through the kits hen into the parlour, where the family (with the exception of Mr. Max, who has teen for smile time indisposed) were asseto'iled at tea of the miscreants, on opening the dour, without (ltd.:r ing the object of his visit, or uttering a word, discharged a pistol, the contents of which, we regret to say, lodged in the arm of Mr. Max,jun. The elder gentleman, on hearing the report, immediately came down stairs, when he was met by another of the villains, who, placing a Pistol to his breast, peremptorily demanded his arms. I here was no alternative but to comply, and the fellows succeeded in obtaining two fowling pieces, with which they departed. Information of this infamous transaction was soon conveyed by smite of Mr. Mines neighbours to henry Weeny*, Esq. Mayor, who, in the moat prompt amid spirited manner, 3CCOMpalliell by our High Consta. ble and a party of the rick brigade. hastened to the spot, and commenced an initnediabt search, which was con tinued till towards muruinu, but without being fortunate enough to cosee up with any of die party. The ball entered Mr. Max's wrist, and is lodged near his elbow. We understand it will be extremely difficult to extract it. However, under the skiffm treatment of Surgeon Pack, we have every hope of his doing well. TR A LES, JAN. SIG.—We greatly lament to see that the wild and insurrectionary spirit of um deluded peasantry 64 . '11 no dittrioution whatever, and that the accounts of new and daring (mirages succeed each other with little interiniesion. To what rade ))) i) y their measures would proceed, if permitted with impunity, we know notei—if they would vainly destgo setting tit open defiance the laws and authorities of the land, we would recommeud them, with the most cordial concern ler die happiness and welfare of our country, to refer to the History of Ireland. but 4 few years back, for a memorable proof of the folly and ecraiagance of such an effort, when the fatal and abortive experiment was tried, w ith a loss, it is calculated, ot 80,000 lives, etween the ontending par. tire; whether there was an b y &Mug sought for by the Mal-contents its that barbarous strife which couid, its ally degree, compensate for such a waste of human ottai, the most enthusiastic of the day would now, wo hope, ;ate no.dollieulty its allSWeriltd. 'Elie result, how. ever, was deteat t and, as might be expected, no small delved of wifely or desolation to the rash and heedless insurgenie.
