IREL4N D. (From the Mitlin Papers of Monday. Nov. 19.) DISTURIiEI) DISTRICTS. From our intelligence, received this morning, we can perceive no symptom of returning tranquillity in the Southern Coutt.ies. About one o'clock, on 11'editesday morning, the house of the Rev. Henry 13.wati, Vicar of lit uree, C - ty of Limerick, was attacked for arms, by a numerous body of insurgents, colisisting, it is said, of tome hun dreds. 7 .11 r. Bevan, with his son, and servant, made a stunt resistance, and finally succeeded in compelling the b inditti to retire. with several killed or wounded. The p.trticul.uss of this affair are highly creditable to the cool intrepidity of the Revetend Gentleman and his assist ants. The banditti forced the back gate leading to the yard, but a brisk fire from a window that commanded this point prevented their approach. Being foiled in this quarter, they next proceeded to attack the front door, winch was soon smashed by their sledges. They now called to Mr. Bet an to silt render his arms ; but having taken his station at the landing of the staircase, lie was prepared, and replied, " 0/1114 on, you shall first have the full betivfit of them." The banditti were intimidated, not one would enter, and as they crossed the door, either Mr. Bevan m sun fired. In this state both parties remained for nearly three hours, and Captain Rock, dressed in a blue corn, pantaloons, cock ed hat with feathers, and a white sash, appeared, when y gMr Bevan fired, :mil the shot probably took effect, as the Captain cried out ' minder, and the gang were instantly thrown into confusion. The party tiiiw retreated, and were seen bet weeit Briiree anti Chaile ville with a car, on which were three wounded men. The reports of the arms discharged. during this attack, were distinctly heard at the different houses for some miles round, and yet none cattle to Mr. Bevati's assist ance, which shows th. terror that the marauders have inipres ,, ed on the minds of all tlitougliout the country. Mr. Bevan deserves the hilliest praise; and if his ex• ample were followed, the banditti would soon cease to disturb the peaceable and well disposed portion of the community. On Thursday morniug a party of the 40th regiment had a skirmish, in the comity of 'Kerry, w ith a hotly of the marauders. In considerable numbers they attacked the house of Mr. liewsmi, near LtSIOWVI and the fir. ing was heard by Mr. Church, of (imam trd, a distance of two miles. Mr. Church, jut. C opt. Ball, Lieut. Quads, with Mr. Kitson, chief constable, and twelve privates marched to Mr. Ifewson's house. They took a circuitous route towards the mountains, as they ex pected the banditti to retire in that direetion, which accordingly happened. The marauders were challenged. and desired to surrender their arms, but they fired at the soldiers, who discharged one volley in return, and int• tnediately applied the bayonet, whit It dispersed them in all directions Five prisoners, with six horses, two muskets, and a carbine. all its excellent order, were taken, and brought in n Listowel. Between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, three men entered Mr. Vize's horse at Fir-hill, atid or dered hint to deliver up his arms; lie gave them a pis tol, and they retired seetitim:ly satisfied, but to a hew Minutes ten men reunited, and having draggtd him out, they placed hint on his knees, and presenting a pistol to his h.ad, threatened to shoot him if he did not give them more arms, which, they said, lie pus-vsseil. In this painful situation Mr. Vlze was kept, until they searched his house, wit it they retired. Ott Friday morning a party of the banditti ut.jted the house of J. Kelly, Esq. near Limerick—they searched fur arttia, but ' having before carried off his blunderbuss awl musket, they found nothing, and, as usual under such disap pointments, they treated the inmates very toughly. Ott Friday evettin d „ Mr. T. Stevens was robbed of two muskets, within a quarter of a mile of Limerick, which he intended to deposit for safety its that city. By letters received from Mill.street, county of Cork, and us vicinity, it appears that there is tint a gentleman's residence from Katittirk to that town, with the excep tion of I)rtsliatte Castle, the seat of Captain Wallis— and Itathroe, the seat of pcitis M'Carthy, Esq,—that had not been visited by those nightly disturbers, who rote! about in seatch of amts. In most instances they have succeeded . . 0:1 Monday night a large party sur roundzd the residence of Coarles M'(:artny, Eq. of CiturcMhill, and iiiitue.li itely forced Amen the back door; Mr. M'Carthy and his suns being then in the Couoty of Kerry, tin opposttion could be ofiCreil. After searching the ittite.e most untimely, they ()Manna a swim! and two slim pooches, with which they appearco a • ili‘appiiiiited that they proposed swearing a female in house as u, W lucre any other arms could be Mond. 'rile) , Oleo pn ceeded to the houses of two tythe.proc tors, and des! toyed their valuation books and ull their unites; after Gus they took the route to Rathroe, and broke some windows, but offered Ito further siolesice. On "l'hursday a Meeting of Ma g istrates and G.mtle men of the county of Cork was held at Buttevatit, which was nume.orisly and respectably attended. After the lt. n. R. Hare. M. P. haul taken the Ctiair, the Adjutant-General. Lord Aylmer, Commander of the troops destined to protect that part ot the country, sub mitted to the meeting a proposition from Government, whether they considered it advisable to call oust the po lice in the disturbed districts, who were now read) ? when, atter smite discussion, it was unanimously re solved to rely upon the troops hesitated for their assist ance md detencv, ailed by the Itqal and aciise Mitotic tants, and der bite any 3illllllalICC trout the polite; from a.,...cut creditable to the gentlemen sa sem) that husve•er the maingents anti noctitrual ma• rauders tl. set' , C to sutler any penalty, it would be ute. gr . a• we as 111114ISi to key a heavy acreable tag upon th • gentstally pea-rable aid welt-Alcove' isi•ory of worm' ate to lie 1,0t1:11i its the districts it , •1" , with those Irwl.ss The Magistrates of the cavern parts of the county of Limer.cli mat:called a 'skein% on the Ouch inst. to take THE NATIONAL REGISTER into consideration the must effectual means of protecting the unarmed and loyal iuhahitants. They complain of the removal of the police from some parts, and the re. ductiou in others; but let them arm and support those who deserve protection, at their own expellee, and they would soon restore trampollity. (From Ike Limerick Papers of Saturday.) It is currently reported that Mr. Drought, a very efficient Magistrate of the Kitties County, is to superin tend the police establishment in the liberties of this city. The head -quarters of the police will, tt is stated, be fixed at the main guardhouse, George's Quay. DARING ATTEMPT AT NIURDER.--TiliS between five end six o'clock, John AlVtieen, of the 97th Highlanders, a sentinel posted at the. King's stores, in Hardyke, whilst walking from his box at the corner of the station to the extreme end oldie building, an assassin rushed from under the shed, near the stores of J. Kelly, Esq. where the villain had collet:1W lii useit until the soldier was within two feet td him, when he fired a pistol at his head—the sentinel had heard some noise in that direction, and was approaching to ascertain the caupe, when he put tip his hand to compress the light, and at that instant the shot was fired at him—two sins were lodged in his hand, and the powder completely horned the hair oil that side of his head, and so stunned hint that he could not see the ridfi in, but heard him re treat towards the ergs-lane leadio; to the Otte of the parish watehmati, on bearing the shot, came to his assistance, an I the guard having been sent for, a fruitless pursuit was made. The mayor and inagistrwes have offered a reward of forty pounds fur theapprehension of the perpetrator. DUBLIN. NOV. I9.—The Committee of the Nationa Testimonial have called a getierrl ineettlig of the sub scribers, to be held at the Royal Eiccliange, on the V9th instant, for the purpose of receiving the report 01 the Committee, and deciding upon the testimonial to Le erected. 11 is with great regret we find that the gross amount of subscriptions already paid into the hands of the treasurer., falls very short indeed of those rxpectanuus is loch we, aommou with our cotemporaries, indulged in when this matter was first agitated. \Ve are somewhat at a loss to account for the &sap ponstment. The distress of the times, doubtless, are unusually heavy and extensive; but we cannot think Ireland is even yet so poor as to he unable to make a larger national sub,erptioit than eleven thousand pounds! The Duke of Wellington is by no mans popular among his COUntiyineti ; yet our national subscription to com memorate the visit of our gractotts and patriotic Klng, who lives in the heart of every 1 ri sla man, does not amount to above two-thirds of the stun which was raised to build a trophy to perpetuate the Duke's faille ! Surely there is something very strange and unaccountable in this! Much advantage was anticipated from the exertions of certain Aeinlemen, who professed, And undoubtedly felt a great interest in the success of the subscription during the late circuits. Any efforts of tots kind, however, If indeed any such were made, appeared to thive hailed altogether. %Vial the exception of, we believe, a couple of hun dreds of pounds front kN'ilterfc,rd, nothing, literally Ito- Mont has been received fount the country. Them was a meeting in Cork, hot no subscription that we have heard of took pace there. TO be sure, t is not too late. Bin if the comities do intend to subscribe, they certainly should not procrasti nate any longer. Galway has taken the lead, and we trust its example will be generally tollowed. SOUTH AMERICA, Letters from Rio de Janeiro to the 29th of Sep tember, received by way of Jersey, contain the fol lowing intelligence : " We learnt 50111 C days ago that General San Martin had entered Lima at the point of the bayonet, and that the scarcity of provisious had previously become so great within the city, that American Hour sold at one hundred anti twenty dollars the barrel. This news is confirmed by letters front Buenos Ayres hiought by the sloop Samuel, in 14 days from that •ilacc, where it was brought by a messenger across the Cordil.eras. The Bloisom sloop and the Ikaver brig of war have Arrived, to reinforce the squadron on this station. It appears that the news trout Lima will prevent the Aurora frigate from doublim , ' Cape Horn, and that the voyage both of that vessel and of the Alacrity has been ountermanded. The rlotgiana will return immediately to her c-uise off the coast of A frica. .* The trench frigate Antigone has been in our port for some time past, where she is expecting the arrival of the two other fri gates of sixty guns each, built on the new model.

The Second Report of the Lords, on the Silk and %Vine Trade, has been published. The former t,f these trades the Committee think deservirg the at tention of the Legislature, and in support of this opinion they state several interesting circumstances. The quantity of silk used in France, in which coun try the silk manufacture stood so high, was, up to 1812, under 2,000,0001b5. a year, while the quan tity paying duty, used in England, averaged for the last three years more than that amount. On the subject of the wine trade, the Committee state, that a considerable diminution has taken place fir some years past in the importation of tiireign wines, 1)13 they do not venture to recommend any material al teration in the present system of duties, until some disposition is evinced by the French Govcrnmentt to concede something in favour of British manuf►c tures. Cadman, the unfortunate young man who was executed with the other individuals on h.y morning last, was occupied for a length of time :le night prior to his execution in writing a letter to his wife, who is now in the female side of the prison, Newgate. She is a fine-looking fi:male, about 21 years of age. Ever since the fatal hour that robbed her of her husband tears have not ceased to flow copiously, and she is in a most pitiable state. Her husband requested the favour of Mr. Baker to deliver it soon after. It was couched in the most affectionate terms, and the style and language of the composition reflected credit on the talents of the writer. During the time she was reading it, we understand, she was frequently interrupted by ex. essive grief old phrenzy. ANCIENT Cots.—On Tuesday morning, while some workmen were excavating the floor of a shop in the Overgate, Dundee, they found a number of crowns, halt-crowns, and shillings, of the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles the First The must of them are considerably corroded ; but upon somt, the face of the royal maid is plain ; and on others, the kingly pedant and his untiirtunate successor hre represented• upon horseback, wearing the diadem, and ►with a drawn filehion in their hands. Theim pressions are well struck ; but the edges are extremely rugged. As the house in which they were found is of no antiquity, it is supposed that some cautious citizen may have deposited them wider ground to save them from the grasp of Cromwell's saints, when their leaguer of Dundee terminated in the slaughter of many of her defenders, and the giving of• her riches as a prey to the spoiler.
