IRELAND. DISTURBED DISTRICTS. (Freer the Dublin Correspondent. Non. 26.) ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER. Letters received in town this tidy front tile neighbonr hood of lianturk, mention the asus>utatioa of Captain Waters, who lived near the town of Nen.m.trket. This dreadful deed was perpetrated on Sunday night IJSI, and the letter which communicates the intelligence was writ ten the rollowing day. "'Pimpl at Audusination —On Sunday evening the 25th, as Mr. I%'lgglesworth, of Listi..durnagh Mills, situate wi.hin two miles of Rosconititim, was returning home, a shot was fired at him, by a person td ho was concealed behind a hedge. Fortunately the ball only tore J part Of the gentleutati's coal, without touching his body. As the snare on which he • vtle started at the shut, he was •ilrowii on the ec totmil, and beiiire lie could rise five of he assassins rushed on him, for the purpose of instantly dispatching hi:n. lie itumediatcly cried out for mercy, and as soon as the villains discovered by his voice that they had mistaken the object of their veugeatice, they allowed hint to depart without any injury. a gentleman in the neighbourhood of the place, who strongly resembles Mr. 11 . 1piglesworth in dress and size, Lod who rides a horse of the same colour, as Mr. NV's in ire, and as he is obnoxious to the peasantry, probably lie was the intended victim. DUBLIN, DEC. I.—Tic 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 have received orders to enthotly themselves. was a meeting of Yeomanry Oificers 'at the Castle yesterday, when it was resolved, we learn, to put the City Yeomanry on permanent NV LIMeRICK, Nov. ltd —Burning of u Chureh.—(in Friday night some villains maliciously set fire to the Parish Church of Knockane, near Killarney, in the UMted Diocese of Ardfert, and totally consumed it, with a number of Bibles and Prayer-hi oks contained therein. The churchwardens of the parish were also thretened, a few days before,. with either loss of life or property, if th e y did not desist from collecting the Church Cess. It was very generally reported, and communicated to us by letter, from a very respectable vistletwin 'fralee, on Saturday, that the house of the Rev. Edward Nash, at Larch% ille, near Traler, was also attacked on Satur day night by the same gang, who murdered Maj. Collis, sold that Mr. Nash was wounded in the breast. We are happy to find, by a Niter received yesterday from that gentleman that the report is groundless: Sir H. Dillon Massy, Bart, and the other gentlemen of Doonas and 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, :id Dragoons, Newcastle ; Colonel Dick, 4vd Highlanders, Rathkeal ; and Lieut.- Balfour, 40th Regiment, Newcastle, are appointed ma gistrates of the County of Limerick. Yesterday a detachment of the I I tli regiment arrived bete from Cork, with arms for yeomanry corps, to be forwarded to the County of Clare. Some cases were also deposited by the Sante party in various towns in the counties of Cork and Limerick for like purpose. CORK, Nov. 2g.—By a letter received in town at an advanced hour yesterday, we learn tha. 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 saute neighbourhood, from %Shout they demanded arms, which not ar,.earing disposed to comply with, they dragged him out, and probably would have murdered hint also, but providentially, that a gentleman, who hap pened to dine with Mr. Curran, found the arms, and gave them up, upon which they went off. WATEKTORO, Nov.29.—Committed to the county gaol yesterday, by Henry Aycock, 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 28111 01 September last, and took thereout one blunderbuss, and set eral articles of wearing apparel. On the night of Sunday last some miscreants entered the stack-yard of J. El i.nt, near Tempo, pulled down a number of stacks, and dispersed the grain and hay iu such a manner, under the rant, as damaged both beyond recovery. This is the same person, ty e learn, whose Pewly-built house, lieline he had removed to it, was le velled some nine or ten months ago, by a similar violent proceeding. Outrages in Ike County cf linsconanon.—On last Tuts day night the ho use 01 Caw:Jill Master, in the parish of Moore, near liilllllll.lll4oC, was attacked and entered by a hautlitti, who demanded fire-arms. Fortunately there were tin lite•artus tit the house; and, after searching the premises, and beating a Servant who alleillinerl to pre• stilt them, they departed, without taking any thing with them except a powder-horn. On die night of the 221 an armed gang entered the house of one M'Creevy, nears Fairytoomit, and after having thicatetted to shoot him, took from him a gull. A letter trout the County of Kerry mentions, that a Memoir to Government, praying for the re-enactment tit the I tisiorteci ion Act, is handing about for signateres among the gentry and principal inhabitants, under the sanction of the high sheriff and persons of leading influ ence. It was II ght adviseable not to call a public Meelillif, which by necessarily withdrawing perSOnS oh consideration and property from their houses for a day, would leave the insurgents an easy typortunity of plun dering them of arms to their al .

Tuesday % ) There is ISO pause in the work of 111!Ifiler—outrage fol lows upon outrage. and almost every hour brings fresh %Wings of the foulest and most appalling excesses. To.. day, it is our duty to add us our records of crime, two eases 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 babes! the at tempvd murder of her husband, and the pluuder of hit THE NATIONAL REGISTER dwelling t—iu a county, tun, in which deeds of such atrocity are novel in c 'ssion, and whose population had nut hitherto hero infected by the lawless and incen diary spirit or neighbouring continunties l—lteally, the art sickens at the details of the countless batharities which now crowd the pages of ou► public journals—the disgrac« with which they cover us is almost molional, and %ve fear imlehtde. To-day, the fullovving letter was addressed to us by a gentlelliall of high distinction, resident at Boyle, in the county of Roscommon. " Boyle, Dec. 3. " Sir,—Deferring to my last letter, written iu great hurry, I have now to inform you, that the murder teas perpetrated on the night of the Ist instant ; the circum stances respecting it are as follow :—Three ruffians, with their fac..4 blackened (one disguised in woman's clothes), forced their way into a shepherd's cabin near Knocka doo, within three miles of this place, when they lit a candle, and demanded whiskey—but the shepherd, who was iti hid with his wile, told them he had none: they then drew front under ilia bed a boa. wherein was con tained 41. iit bank -notes, the properly of his master, which they took. Perceiving the shepherd about to leave his bed, one of the villains immediately stabbed him in the left breast, with a bayon,i, which he had fixed to the end of a bludgeon, and which the shepherd seized and wrestled trout hint; in the meal) time, however, he was stabbed by another of the savages in several places with a knife, part of which was left in his body. He made 1111 (14:11)t . , running across two fields to the cabin of a iteighbour—th; blood gushing front the wound his breast to such a degrte, that the door of the cabin where he took shelter, mid against which he reclined mail opened, was c iiiiiiletely covered, and the colour of the wood nearly extinguished. When the shepherd 113 . 01 effected his escape, the inhoinaii in:sereants 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 her 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 111i111, and another has been appre hended tqxm suspicion, from what transpired yesterday at the itiquesr. " There is no doubt entertained that the shepherd knows the three savages that murdered his wile.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 susp.cions ; but both declare. that they can identify the perpetrators of this dreadful deed, if brought before them. " Henry Fry, Esq a magistrate of this county, has been very active ot. the occasion, and 1 have no 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 sail post-of thee, to the injury of several letters therein deposited. (bons the Dublin Morning Post of Thesday ) That active and spatted nia;istrate, W. Cot to, Esq. Captain and Adjutant of the Kerry regiment of ittilma, suspecting that a quaintly of arms was coticealed in the neighbourhood of O'Dorney, Liana, Ste. on the night of Sunday last ordered out a detachment of the staff the regiment, and aided by 1). M•Gdkaitidy, jnn. k.sq. laic of the royal navy (who volunteered his services on the occasion for two days and nights iii 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 pisrols, bayonets, swords, &e. which were yesterday brought in here by the detachment, and lodged in the military stores at the regiment. Too much praise cannot be given to these gentlemen for their prompt and useful exertions on this occasion, and for the persevering spirit with which they continued the search, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the dal Loess of the nights, and the badness of the roads, in an intricate boggy country; and it is but justice to toe detachment of the Kerry staff to say, that they perform ed this laborious duty with the greatest zeal and alacrity. We hope all the other magistrates of the county and pio vince will follow this laudableexample ; by measures erpially prompt and efficacious, nu doubt the thabolicA spirit of insurrection, now so prevalent, would speedily be stipprested. apprehension of two more of the supposed Murderer. of Major Collie. Taatze, Dec. I.—A man of the name of Gallivan, who is charged with tieing one of the murderers, was apprehended yesterday evening in Listowell, by the ac• tlve magistra:e, Dr. Church, whose zeal and elliciency stand so conspicuous at the present moment, and is most creditable to our county. It having been understood that Grllivast, who is an inhabitant of this town, had gone to Listuwell, intimation was sent to 1)r. 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 hiin its company with two other persons. Gallivan nude some show of re sistance, but 1)r. Church, putting a pistol to his head, caused him to surrender, and secured him. On his per ion was found a bank post-bill UM' 604 15s. 1 Id. which appears to have beet, altered Irons Ibl. 15s. I Id.

On Thursday there was a Court of Common Council held, for transacting various business, more partici'. larly for the receipt of the report respecting the knights. bridge affair.

The Lord Mayor having taken his seat, communi cated his Majesty's answer to the City Address and invi tation to dine with his lordship. It was read, and or. detect to be entered on the Journab. Mr. Alderman BROWNS complained to the Court 01 an indecent canvass that had taken place after the acci dent which had taken place to Mr. Wuntner, the Mat shah, when the City was taking up the Address to the King. That gentleman he was happy to conimuMcate to the Court, was considerably better ; and he was happy to be able to add, that he thought Mr. Wounier would soon be able to resume the duties of his situation, tint. withstanding the severe accident which had befallen 111111.—(h:dr, hear.) Several reports from the Committee on City Lands were then received, read, and referred hack to the Com mittee to see them carried into execution. '1 he 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 tumult at Knightsbridge and elsewhere on Sunday, August 26; that die measures and coinlitct pursued by Mr. Ald ‘Vaithman were most wise arid prudent ; and Om the Committee had not heard td the inquiry promtsed by government having been com menced.
