RICHARD OTSII OSBORNIC, Ballycastleane. County Kilkenny, Nov. 30. (room tits DUBLIN MORNING POST, DEC. B.] Airsin AT NINAOII.IIII the Morning Post of yes *any we inserted, from a Limerick paper, &statement of 4 very unpleasant affair which occurred at Nemigh hetween some country people and a party of yeomanry, v hswere on duty in the town. The following letter, Vick reached us yesterday, gives an account somewhat Merest from that of the Limerick paper : " Nenagh, Dec. 6, 1921. " 1 bad not time yesterday to give you the particu lars of the attack made by the yeomen upon the country mple is this town. It was a most wanton piece of litioness; there were about five of the country people returning home at seven o'clock at night ; as they passed one of the yeomen they asked what o'clock it was. The yeoman gave an offensive answer; this produced a retort from the countrymen; who, however, continned their way inward. But the yeoman, it seems, over hearing some words as they were going off, which were not very complimentary to the corps,' called out the guard, composed of his comrades; they immediately pursued the country people as far as the Pound, when they fired upon them; the shots took effect. A boy named John Ryan was shot in the elbow ; a son of Michael Walsh, of Beleen, was hit in the finger, and a third boy was wounded slightly on the hip. Tlie boy, Ryan, has had liis arm amputated ; he is under cure in a house in Pound-street. but not as a prisoner ; from which it would appear that he is charged with ro crimp. Any body else who might happen to he in the street at the time of the firing might jest as well have been wounded or killed as the country boys—but you know these yeomen are all Orangemen.' Such is the statement that has been communicated to es. On a very recent occasion we expressed an opinion on the calling out of the Yeomanry; every circumstance that has since come to our knowledge only confirms us in what we then stated. * The letter gives the exact words used by both parties, but which we do not think it necessary to repeat.—Eorron. YKOMANKT--The following official Order for em bodying the Yeomanry Corps, under the command of Sir Wm. Stainer, Bart.lias just been issued by autho rity Dublin Castle, 7th Dec. 1821 Sta,—l am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to ac quaint you, that his Excellency has been pleased to ap prove of the Barrack Corps of Yeomanry under your command, being augmented to eight companies of forty men each. Ifis Excellency, at the same time directs me, to observe, that it is ,to be distinctly understood, that no exclusion is to be made on account of religion, in the /resent maiming file loyalev led 'good condsct being the qualification required. If this is not strictly maintarned, the Lord Lieutenant must decline sanctioning the augmentation. " A blank form of Roll is inclosed, which you will hare properly filled up, and forwarded to this department with the attestations of the men ; and when the same is received, the nereasary letters of service will be issued, and the other official steps taken to place the corps in an elkient state. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble Servant, "CHARLES GRANT." It is intended, we learn, that the Lord Mayor shall issue a Proelmoation, ordering all Publicans to close their houses at eight o'clock at night. The 29th liegitnent arrived yesterday, from Eng land; the men were a long time on shipboard, owing to the severe weather. We are extremely gratified in being enabled to state, that Captain Waters, although very severely wounded, is now considered by his physicians out of danger, and they hope he will be soon able to go out. We are gratified at being enabled to state, on the authority of private letters, that one of the principals hulas late atrocious murder of Major Collis, has turned approv-r, and that, on his information, three of Ills diabolical confederates have been already secured, and committtil to Traleet;aol.—(Cork Intelligencer.) LiNiKatce, s.—This morning Timothy Shea was hroneht into the county jail, under a committal of Richard Wilcock', Ecq., and escorted by a detachment of the 42d regiment and two police constables, charged with being of an armed party unlawfully as sembled on the night of the 9th of October last, near the Glebe of Kilbreedy. On Saturday night, the. Stage-house, occupied by Mr. Lynch, at Kilmastalt, county Tipperary, was at tacked by a number of men, who took a gun, and swore him to have a blunderbuss the rext time they should call, on pain of death. The house of John Donohue, a dog-teacher, about a mile distant, was also attacked, and his gun taken. On Wedneeday evening, between the boors of dee ted six o'clock, a party rushed into the house of Thos. ilicaton, of Kilgobbin, near Adare, and close to the turnpike-road, where they succeeded in getting one Musket. On Sunday, before four o'clock in the evening, the house of Patrick Clift was entered by a banditti, and a Sword taken. The house of Arthur Neil was also entered the same evening, and a pistol taken from Lim. Both those pergola live at Kilbreedy, and within &mile of Adore. 'The house of Wm. Wesley, near Adare, was also attacked a few nights ago, and the windows broken, bat he had no arms. Sunday se'nniht, ahont twelve o'clock in the day, as Joseph Baxter, of Tuagh, near Adare, was at the rere of his house, two men leaped over the ditch, with their faces covered ; one of them presented a blunder buss at him, and told him to deliver his arms; but Baxter said he had none. They then swore bim as to the truth of what he said ;—they also swore him if he knew of any arms in the neighbourhood. One of 'heart discharged a pistol as they went off. Oa Monday, two bakers, from Adore, sent to Rath keale for harm, and, on their return, were followed by "der.: tog.. sone men, near Croagb, and the vessels taken oat of the car, and the barns spilled on the road with expres slons.that no bread should be made there in Ware. This morning, at an early hour, Maurice Shaugh nessy, and Michael M'Mahon, a blacksmith, were brought into town by Major Drought, who, with Lieut. Cowan, Chief Pelee Officer, and the 'entire of the Pollee, patroled the Liberties, from Batlimners to the bounds of the County, from 12 o'clock last night to day-break this morning.—Therio are good grounds for supposing that those two' persons are much impli cated in the present disturbances. • Major Drought's Police only arrived here yesterday evening, and not withstanding the inclemency of the weather, and the fatigue of a march from Dublin, it did not prevent them from being instantly put on duty. We received a letter this morning from Mill-street, County Cork, which represents that neighbourhood to be in the most peaceable state. and that the report of the attack on Captain Willis'. Castle (as stated in the Dublin Papers) is perfectly unfounded. We feel much satisfaction in quoting the following extract of a letter keceived this day from a highly re spectable and active Magistrate in the neighbourhood of Listowell :—" I have the pleasure to tell you, that we will have this Country soon restored to quiet." — (Limerick Chronicle.) A country boy, who was observed to call three suc cessive times to purchase a pound of gunpowder at a shop on the Parade, Cork, has been taken up and lodged in the Bride - well. [The following is the account given by the Limerick Journal of the murder committed in the house of Mr. Raymond, as mentioned in the Statesman of Saturday.] LIMIRICK, Dec. 4.—On Saturday night last, about I! o'clock, four armed assassins knocked at the ball-door of Hollywood, in this county, the residence of James Ray mond, Esq. and demanded admittance to search for arms ; the door was immediately opened, and they were told that there were no arms there, as they bad been al. ready taken away ; they then took the servant Murphy, who opened the door, and killed him on the spot, by firing three shots through his body.—His remains pre seated a most appellant sight to the Coroner, Magis. testes, and Jury, who attended there yesterday to hold an inquest. Major Wilcocks was immediately on the spot to make such inquiries as he deemed prudent ;it is evident they came for the purpose of murdering Murphy, who, it is supposed, recognized some of the party on the night the arms were taken from that hone. Unfortu nately Mr. Raymond was from home, as be had been be. fore when his arms were taken. At the time of present ing this horrible outrage to the public, it is most satis factory to ns to be able to inform our readers. that the ruffians are not now as they have been heretofore, com mitting outrages without any exertion being made to bring them to justice, as we find that on Saturday night the Police under the command of that experienced and able Chief Magistrate, Major Wilcocks, succeeded in apprehending Michael Kelly and Thomas Kelly, charged with feloniously taking fire-arms from the dwelling house of the late Mr. Christopher Stirling, and with snapping a pistol at Mrs. Sterling, with intent to kill her. On the tagavnight, another party of that carp apprehended Johns Ward, charged with riot, sad assault ing a Crown proseeutor on her return from the last As. sizes, and with assaulting a Police Constable who was conveying her home. This day, Mr. Russell, of Catherine-street, and Ms *leek, Air. Isoderidsoralked out to Ballnciadisi, close to this town, each having a gun ; when they got a few yards beyond the cross road, outside the turnpike, a stout able fellow named Francis Shaughnessy caught Mr. Ledwith by the neck, and threw him on his back on the road, and forced his gun from his hands ; Shaughnessy handed the gun to another man who was with him, and both immediately ran off, but fortu nately, two of the Light Dragoons happening to pass that way, at the moment whilst the men were in view, they pursued them in a most laudable manner, and succeeded in apprending Shanghnessy who is fully identified—the other man got into the low grounds where the Dragoons could not follow. Major Drought, Chief Magistrate of the city. on hearing the circum stance, dispatched his Chief Constable. and a party, to convey the fellow into town, and now has him in safe keeping. This is most important to the country, as four in stances of the same kind have taken place within a few months near the same spot. Last week, Major Wilcocks received an order from the Castle, to take up the gunpowder in his district. He accordingly procured all on sale at Rathkeale, Kil- Kilfenora, Hospital, Bruff, Groom, and New- castle. Last night the house of Patrick Carroll, at Balishee da, in the liberties of this city, was broken into, and searched for his servant-man, who had expressed him self unfavourably towards the nightly proceedings of those deluded wretches. Fortunately he was not in the house. Two field-pieces, and an immense quantity of ammu nition, arrived yesterday in this city. Baron M'Clelland and Mr. Justice Moore, are So preside at the Special Commission, to be held for the county and city of Limerick. The Commission will be opened precisely at eleven o'clock, and trials immediately proceeded upon. Names of the prisoners in the County gaol, for trial, at the Special Commission :—E. Mules, J. M'Namara, Michael Moran, Michael Fitzgerald, Denis Collins, John Grady, James Carroll, Andrew Hickey, Connor Ryan. John Kelly, Michael Culbane, John Culhane, Thomas Molony, Michael Holloron, John Bowman, Martin Grady, John Kelly, Michael Sullivan. Connor Hickey, William Hanley, Patrick M'Mahon, Edmond Culhane. James llinchy, and Mary Hayes. On Saturday night last, the house of Mr. Robert Warren, Lamer. near Newport, was surrounded by a party of armed men, who demanded his arms; fortu nately, they had been removed a few days before; the party was beaded by a well-dressed man, whom they severally addressed as their Captain.—(Linseriek Telegraph.) A Limerick Paper contains the following peso. graph " The statement in the Kilkenny Paper, that al/Alder of the Rev. Mr. Langrisbe's, in the County of Clare. was lately murdered, is not correct." • The statement appeared in this paper. We received it from an intimate friend of the Clergyman's family.-- We mentioned the name of the deceased, who died of a gun shot wound indicted by an unknown band, and whe ther it was correct or not. we know that he was seta ally, buried at Kuocktopher. We believe bad the lA mersck paper been as careful as we are to avoid ex,g oration, the country would have been sa ved mach pain ful uneasisess,Linseridc Joungal.) ..• - .

Madras and China ; Sir David icott, Captain W. Hunter,. Bengal and China. Changes in the Common Council at the approach ing St. Thomas's day : In Lime-street Ward—Mr. Deputy Adcock retires. Mr. Prince and Mr. Jones contend for the vacancy. In Aldersgate Ward—Mr. Turner resigns. Mr. C. Carbauld, the engineer, and Mr. Dig [ins put up. In Bassishaw Ward—Mr. Smart resigns. In Queenhithe Ward—Mr. Hancock is dead, and three resignations are announced, viz.; Mr. J. W. Goss, the Deport, Mr. J. Cotton, and Mr. J. J. Skilbeck. In Bread-street Ward—Mr. Oilman has left, and seve ral resignations are reported. In Dowgate Ward—Mr. Bristow is dead, and a violent contest is expected, on account of the supposed en croachoent made recently on the banks of the Thames in that Ward. AU is expected will be quiet in Farringdon this next election. It was rumoured that Mr. Ex-Sheriff Williams would resign, and a new candidate start, but , we believe , withoout foundation. At Mentham Hall, Surrey, sumptuous entertain ments were given by the Jolliffe family on Friday and Saturday last, in honour of the coming of age of Sir William Hylton Jolliffe, the nephew and heir of Colonel Hylton, the Member for Petersfield, and son of the Rev. Mr. Jolliffe, of Imperial Cottage. The expenses of the fete will, it is said, amount to up wards of 5,000/. On Tuesday last three sporting worthies set out from this town on a Jackdaw-Shooting excursion.— They reached Plympton St. Mary without meeting one unfortunate bird, but on the church-tower of that place there sat in sable majesty as ancient daw, who appeared to view the triumvirate with infinite con tempt. Irritated, we suppose, at seeing their terrify ing appearance set at nought, one of the party levelled his tube at the saucy bird, who, no way alarmed, cawed out defiance, and flew off with a great deal ot rag lead. A young man who was passing in a cart, and saw the affair, wickedly taunted the sportsman with his want of skill. Possessing a good share ot irritability, one of the gentlemen fired his piece into the cart, and being a better shot than his companion who missed the jackdaw, lodged eight shots in the back of a poor old man, a charcoal-burner of Ridgeway, who sat with the rustic wit in the cart. We under stand proceedings have been instituted against them. We make so comment on this Annsent action.—(Ply swath paper.) lit ireiiitt Mee. S.—iredaanday 11Pasias. Mr- coG Risdon, Commoner of University College, rowed down the river is a skiff, accompanied by a friend ; when within a short distance of Iffiey, attempting to change his seat, he fell into the water, and by his endeavours to save himself, upset the boat. Both swam for the shore, het his friend, on reaching it, could no where see Mr. Risdon, though he had observed him follow ing a considerable way, and heard no cry of distress. The alarm was immediately given, and every exertion instantly made to recover the body, which has since been continued, bat without success. ' Monday, several soldiers were poisoned by eating a Ragout at an Anberge, at Mousseaux, in France. Three of them have died, and twelve others are seri ously ill. Two individuals have been taken into custody. From the regular attention of the police, in nightly visiting the lodging houses, it has been ascertained that from the Ist of October to the Ist of December, a space of only nise weeks, 1,983 have passed through Doncaster, exclusive of the mendicants relieved at the Vagrant Office. Tuesday morning at half-past six, 41 female con victs were removed from Newgate, under a proper es cort, in hackney coaches, conveyed to the Dundee Arms, Wapping, and forwarded in a Gravesend boat to the receiving ship, preparatory to their being sent to New South Wales. Their behaviour, from their quitting Newgate to the time of embarking, was quite exemplary; many of them are banished for life; amongst them the notorious Bill Soantes's wife, toge ther with Amg Steele, the young woman who was or dered for execution on Tuesday se'nnight. Cadmas's wife still remains in Newgate.—(Kestish Gazette.) FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Wednesday, in the after noon, a Mr. David Brook, a carpenter, at Thorp, was returning home from Leeds, on the rail-way towels Middleton, having elevated his umbrella to prevent the sleet beating in his face, a number of coal-waggons drawn by the loco-motive machine came upon him un observed, and passing over his lower extremitiesl mangled his legs and thighs in so dreadful a manner, that he died in the Infirmary in the course •f the same night ; the deceased has left a widow and six children. A still more terrible accident occurred at Lofthouse on the following day, by which four per sons lost their lives. It appears that early in the morning of that day four persons were descending in a corve into a coal-pit, when, the rope giving way, they were all precipitated to the bottom, and two of them killed on the spot; the two others, one a boy about 16, and the other 12 years of age, were removed to the Leeds General Infirmary, where one of them died immediately on his arrival, and the other half an hoer afterwards. The names of the deceased are, George Heald, a boy about 16 years of age, and his father; a young man whose name we have not heard ; and Joseph Farrar, a boy about twelve years of age. The same day Thomas Salt, foreman to Messrs. Brown and Co., Shear-grinders, at the Crown point, in this place, got entangled in one of the fiy wheels. sad was literally cut in two. The deceased was a steady worthy man, and had been in his mas ter's ensploymeat upwards of six years.—(Leeds Mercury.) V' imiiiiMmislimio , - • RIOTS IN MONMOUTH& t We are happy to learn that the al county, to which we alluded in our been suppressed, though the cause is a subject of discussion among the long robe. We have received com►. various correspondents at Abergaveany . &c. too long to give in their origins' therefore compressed the facts into possible. At an early boar of the month, 2;th nit. the inhabitants of the Si part of the large mining district n( port, were alarmed in their beds b: vast multitude of people descending . on horseback, in tram waggons, and of conveyances. Some hundreds Mr. Homfray's Tredegar Ironwork groes, eleven miles from Tredegat o'clock, and, as it appeared after% immediate conduct and command of three persons, named Theodore Jones, William Jones, and John Hall, proceeded by force to dispossess the workmen of John Jones, Esq of Llanarth Court (then employed in constructing a new fine of road from certain mine lands of that gentleman, to connect with the Monmouth shire Canal Company's road) of a certain meadow, near Pouffelin-fetch, in the parish of Monythasloyne ; which object was, as we have beard, partially effected after a stout contest, In which the workmen of Mr. Jones were overpowered, one man being wounded in the back with blow from a spade or shovel, and his she being cot through with some sharp instrument. Before half past six o'clock, J. H. Moggridge, Esq. a neighbour ing Magistrate, arrived on the ground on horse back : and, at this time, as nearly as we could judge, there might be five or six hundred men on the field ; but the numbers were continually aug mented by fresh arrivals, till they probably ex ceeded a thousand.—On his entrance into the field, the Magistrate addressed the people, who were then in different detachments; but we cannot distinctly report what was said : the mob seemed to be attentive, and conducted themselves respectfully towards him. Irt about 20 minutes after, the Magistrate, having some of his family and friends around him, commanded si lence ; and, calling to him those who had been pointed est as the leaders, addressed them individually by name, reprobating their condnct, and ordering them to take back to their own homes quietly, peaceably, and instantaneously, the deluded multitude whom they had confessed to have brought there. This order not being complied with, the Magistrate proceeded to read the Riot Act, and afterwards to caution the multitude present as to the criminal and perilous situation in which they stood, entreating them as their irieneto desist and disperse, and concluded by declaring that if more than twelve persons remained on the ground after the time limited by law, he would order their leaders to be seized; and should any act of violence in the mean time be committed, he declared be would discharge his duty with vigour at any risk to himself. A profound silence ensued, which was about twenty minutes after interrupted by a renewed attack on the part of some of the mob, consequent. we believe, on in structions given by one of the leaders. The Magi.. trate immediately darted into the midst of the scene of ceetention, seised one of the rioters by the collar, and committed him to the custody of the civil power. The man so seised, whom we understood to be in Mr. Homfray's employ, was, after a stout struggle. rescued, and, as we are told, finally made his escape through the river. No further violence. was, however, committed ; and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards the mob peaceably departed. We have, in the above account, confined ourselves for the present as strictly as possible to a short narrative of the proceedings, compiled from many particulars re- • ported by eye witnesses and correspondents from that part of the country, and we have done so the more so licitously, because it has been desired of us, and be cause it has been intimated to us that sonic fedi% which have been imparted to us of a very extraor dinary and responsible nature, will become the sub jects of legal cognizance. It has, however, been since reported, that another attack on the works lia‘ been subsequently made, and some considerable por tion thereof destroyed. We hope, however, this will not prove upon inquiry to be the case. We understand that another fall in the price of iron is fully expected to take place next quarter. — Bristol Mercury.)

CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 10.—Although the arrivals of Wheat for several weeks past have considerably ex ceeded the demand, and a very large quantity remains on hand, which cannot be disposed of, yet it occasions no check to the supplies, which are of a magnitude beyond all former examples, and prices are completely nominal, except for prime samples, which were, with difficulty, got off this morning, at a decline of full 4s. per quarter from last Monday's quotation, but no value can be put upon the inferior qualities ; and as the arrrival of Flour from the coast last week exceeds 17,000 sacks, a further reduction of Ss. per sack may be quoted in that article.— Barley is full 2s. per qr. lower, and very dull sale at that decline, there being little demand for it.—Beans and Peas are 25., and Oats Is. per qr. cheaper.
