The Dublin papers state that the Captain Rock, in the North Liberties of Cork, and two of his associates, who planned and assisted to execute most of the outrages in that part of the country, hart been apprehended by the 'country ,people.

It.is .difficult to say whether the pre- stunption of men lit tints legislating for Ireland, or their folly in such broad confessions of their owe incompe tence, is molt conspienons. • The 'Lid of Liverpool said the 'measure was necessary fur the peace of lithod! (Wood heaven!' ‘ .4 the souls of all oar friends preserve" from each a -state 'of peace. The Earl of Linterlik do.. elated " it would Ito impossible for any man to remain its that country a single fortnight, if the • Bill `did net poss."- Thome,* sae lea them leave it as quicklyeaPoasW Ile; for this Bill will not render them smarm Lord CAW thorktvlshed tbs .- Protestant Church in Ireland tolts, rendered efficient. and a general sptem of education trodoced. The first cannot .be done ; end'4he Mooed,. if it were possible, would require a greater length of titiefhin the English authority will *list Its Ireland , lmfora any good could result from 'it. We are quite owari , that it le the fashion to think that Ireland cannot liberma herself from the English yoke. The Rake of! Wellington, however, who ought to be somsjudge of Inch matters, though a very indifferent politician, thinkst otherwise, if we May infer his meaning from his language, on this Bill. He said, " the advastage resulting from this.l3lll was, that the people were obliged to remain in their houses at night; and without that provision. tea times.the force now in Ireland would not be suffioistatao reprees. insurrections." Now a crisis is rapidly apprdini/i, lug, when such acts will not keep the people at home and es his Lordship expressly deelaree they kern only to ' go est fly night to bid defiance to ten times the number Now employed to keep them in subjection, when they detenniae to do so, the power of enforcing the - law inttst be at as end. Force is only availing as a moans of (government when it is submitted to without being Inestioned; and it is extremely unwise to persist in a coarse that most eventually rouse a direct opposition. It is Curious to remark the contradiction between Mr. Goal ',aura, the author of the Bill in the Lower House. and Lord Liverpool, its foster-fatber, in the Upper-Chamber. )Ir. Geulbouro declared he should never have thought of proposing it in any other light than as a temporary measure: while the Noble Earl says it has now been in etistenre fur five years, and that Ireland cannot be go: Tensed without it. The Peer is far more candid thanthe Commoner. Lord Liverpool confesses that misrule has produced the necessity of the severity; and he sees that the severity must continue until the misrule terminates. In the House or CONIMONS, Mr, Brougham presented a curious petition relative to the mal-administration of the law in Ireland, under the auspices of Bares fil'Cleland and the officers of the Court. The petitioner was a Roman Catholic, who had refused to be uncovered during the singing of" tiol save the King." ,The de. f mdint was a Protestant Clergyman, who thought his re/igios authorised to beat his offending brother. The pa wiilled for a jury to try the cause ; but the a• Oration was refused. The defendant . , hot , after wards fancied that a special jury would serv.l his purposes best. Ile therefore applied for one, and obtained it with ont any difficulty. Then came the trial. The assault was roved —it was not denied—no plea that we bear of was offered in defence—not a witness called; but the .trudge is represented as concluding the matter by saying The strict letter of the law is decidedly against the defendant ; but, not tvitlistanding, you can find a verdict fur the defendant, in honour y our good old King, who may well be called the father of his people !" Mr. Canning thought, in point of courtesy, the " Learned Judge" ought to have been consulted with before he had been so charged. The House of Commons had, with great propriety, almost nrauimously expunged a clause to authorize flogging, in the new Prison Regulation Bill; but the House of Lords has thought proper to send the Bill down again, with the authority to flog, by way of amend ment. We wish that-their Lordships could have seen as mach of the folly, barbarity, and inutility of this mode of punishment, as we have. They would then have re jetted any idea of suffering it to take place. As a public punishment, it might have some good effect in desperate rases ; but as inflicted privately in prisons, it is only mischievous. One mode ofinfliciing it, is to flog parties on the morning when they are about to be set at liberty, hay * completed their te rtu of imprisonment ; and a more sure method of getting them back again could hardly be de vised. Without money, without character, without Mende, find their flesh lacerated by the cat o'nine tails, they return to society in a very pleasant humour, indeed, for conforming to its regulations. We once saw three boys treated in this manner, whipped and seat out of pri son ; laden the three were again for trial at the follow jog assizes, which occurred within six weeks after their. dismissal. One of them, when reproached with his de pravity, asked " What he was to do? Nobody would " employ him, if they knew where he bad been; and his pnais hment at the time of his dismissal prevented "him from concealing it. He was driven back to Lis " old associates from a sense of shame, and fill into his "old courses; end he wished be might be transported, "or he should never get out of them." We are quits sa tisfied, that without a preventive system is tried, upon a very large scale, the catalogue of offenders will enerra.e more rapidly than it has done; and if half the time wast ed in attempting to regulate offenders in prison were em• ployed in endeavouring to remove the causes that bring them in, society would have more reason to be thankful to its rulers.. The New South Wales Jurisdiction Bill was taken into further consideration. The difficulty of legislating for each") colony is obvious. Men accustomed to arbitrary authority are seldom willing to forego any portion of it; Rad legislatures is general seem to have no Idea of anti el•ting the spirit of the age ; so that a people is never itted to be in a proper state for good, government until prepared to enforce the demand for it. The trial by jury is so deeply associated with common right, in the feelings of Englishmen, that nothing will be so likely to make the colonists dissatisfied, as the .introduction of a new principle on this point. To palliate this bitter pill,. the Bill provides that a sort of trial by jery, that is a trial by seven Military or Naval Officers, will be allowed,' when both parties deafre it. Thi., io theory, is putting the mode of the setaiinistration of justice into the hands of those who ought •to have nothing to do with it. But, in practice, it is milselated further to.proserillo the Vial , by jury ; for what one oppoeing party desired mega moot likely bo. objected to by the other. These matters may retard the regrees of the colony to maturity ; bet they will assuredly accelerate the period of separation from the mother country. Mr. Hume discovered that an appropriation clads" had been tacked to the last Act of Supply ; note:ad a being brought forward pa it separate Bill; and to-night he moves for a committee of enquiry on the subject. Mr. Ili :skisson contended that the usual course had bees fol. lowed; but Mr. Hume skewed that the " custom" ot. 1821 and 1822, had been contrary. One Pan hardly blame -the Minister for thus wishing to run out of a series of de bates at the close of E session, which her been's° unusually . ire, that mere habit's , orindoleilee may render the sea jbeity indisposed to any sort of exertion.

On Wednesday last a very numerous and highly re• spectable respectable meeting was held in the Caledonia, Theatre, Edinburgh, to consider the propriety of enter. ing into subscriptions for assisting the Spaniards in their present contest against the unjust aggressions of France the Hon. Admiral Fleming in the chair. Mr. Fergusoe, of Keith. Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. J. A. Murray, Mr. P. Brows, Mr. R. B. Blytb, Mr. Greenshields, Mr. Cockburn, and several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and is animated and patriotic language advocated the cause of the Spanish people. The Resolutions proposed, which were spirited and appropriated were unanimously psgree to. The first Resolution moved by .Mr. Ferguson, of Keith, went to reprobate the attack upon Spain as an atrocious violation of all those drincidles upon which hu man society depends. The second resolution was moved by Mr. Jeffrey. expressive of the gratitude and sym pathy doe from every country proud of iadependence, and enjoying . liberty, to the Spanish people, for their yellour in resisting the usurpation of Ikons barte and for the fi rmness and moderation displayed y ;hem in throwing off the yoke of domestic tyranny to which they had been afterwards subjected. —Boxes were placed at the doors of the theatre, and books opened, to receive subscriptions, which it was es pected would amount to a considerable sum. The Meeting held here on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of entering into a Subscription in Aid of the panish Cause, was (through the workings of party pm- Jediee, no doubt,) but thinly attended, the number present being short of 30. Sir Henry Blackman was called to the Chair, and having opened the business in the usual way, Mr. E. Johnston, hlr. Blackman, abd Major Dol. biae (the only Speakers), severally addressed the chosen few, and the latter Gentleman at considerable length. The ability displayed by the worthy Major, rivetted the atten tion of his h (who frequently cheered him) nearly an hone, when he concluded by expressing his confident hope and belief, that the Spaniards would ultimately pre. vail and triumph over the tyranny and oppression they had to struggle with, and thus firmly establish their Con stitutional Freedom for the enjoyment of their posterity. If a Subscription in favour of the Greeks were to he Pro perly set about in this town, and something like a Branch Committee formed, we are inclined to think it would be generaily promoted, as Turkish Barbarity, surely can kavelno political advocates.—(Sussex Advertiser.) The Spanish Committee have received from Spain, and particularly from Galicia, the strongest assurances of the public spirit and constancy which have determined the Spaniards to resist to .the last the enemies of their inde pendence. The news of the goodwill manifested in their behalf by the friends of liberty in England had added to astir enthusiasm in this sacred cause.

On Wednesday morning (24 inst.), it ti 4411 early hour, one of those daring vlobitions df the law, so peen• liar to the lower orders of this distracted country, attend ed with the loss of several lives, occurred in the parish of Castlehaven, Within 3 Miles of Skibbereen, in the west of this county. The facts. which we have from very com petent authority, are as follow :—The rector of the parish, the Rev. R. Morritt, finding it impossible to obtain his tithes, there being 3 years due, and in the last year having experienced much opposition in obtaining them, he was determined to submit his case to the bench of magistrates assembled in petty session, from whom he received a *arrant of distress, which was intrusted to his proctor, who, with five other men, were appointed special con stalpes, to execute it on tire parties; and for the more effectual preservation of the peace, a party of the pence, consisting of Lieut. Hawkshaw, four mounted and seven dismounted, stationed at Skihbereeo were or dered to mitt. Accordingly. they proceeded to the grouted, where they wised some cattle, which the coun try people, who assembled in great numbers. resisted, oath showers of atones; when a dreadful scene ensued. The police and constables were obliged, in their own defence, having riven up the idea of the cattle to keep up a constant fire, which was as determinedly resisted by the country people with vollies of stencil, which were kept op with such determination. on their part, that the police and constables were obliged to retreat, leaving one of the police,named Bowen, and the proctor, named Driscoll. killed, and several of the party were wounded. The country people bad two shot dead, and ten or twelve wounded; five.are reported to be dangerously so. Such was the rapidity of the retreat, that Lieut. Hawkshaw lost 'his cap, which was knocked off by a stone. On the ac count reaching Skibbereen, Capt. Baldwin," magistrate, with a party of the rifle brigade, and such of the police as were able, hastened to the place, but we have not heard of any persona beim taken. The ferocity of the country people was exhibited in a most disgraceful manner, having wedged a stone into the dead police. man's month, which they forced in with another Let ters were received in town from the magistrates, requiring the attendance of a Commit; to bold an itiqueit, which is appointed for this day, wbtn we have no doubt, from the spirit and ititelligened of the Magistrates of that part of the county, that a strict investigation of this distress ing affair will t.ke place. Oa the intelligence of the affray having reached this city, Mr. Merritt, who had arrived only a dry or two before, returned with all pos sible speed. We cannot close this article without advert tor to the system pnrsued towards the clergymen of the established church, in the collection of their tithes. to some places the disinclination to pay them is such, that the lower orders have bound themselves by oath to resist ; and we have been informed, that the parish of Castle haven fortes a striking, and we are sorry to say, a l amentable enanspie of the truth of our remark". 111111.14111130 F SOTF/1111F A PARTY or DRAGOONS MIN Tan t. • • ' ItIOANDAION. !A letteefinen a most respectable gentleman in Moy, saki 4 yesterday, informs us, that an account had jest reached that town, that a party of dragoons, stationed in Magherafelt, who bad bees takes out for the purpose of repressing illicit distillation, had been attacked and fired on by a party of Ribandnieti, near Stuartstown, county Tyrone. They, of course, returned the tire ; and our informant adds, chat eleven of the Ribandmen, two dra goons, sad three horses, were killed on the spot, and several seriously wounded.—(4rmaghlzolunteer,July 1.) At Gowan, in Kilkenny, a house belonging to Mr. Bibby bas bees bsrnt. At Thounistown, in the same Comity, therm was a serious Riot at a Fair, between two rival parties ; a symptom we add, strange as it may sound to English ears, of returning tranquillity, ia which a Ma gistrate (Mr. Foot) is said to have been wounded. The Riot was ultimately quelled, and a prisoner taken. On the morning of the Ist of July, an attempt' was made to set fire to the residence of Mr. Simpson, at Mer riest. Fortunately, however. the dames were discovered before much damage had been done. Colts. JULY 4, IS23.—The following letter has been addressed to the Editors of the Cork Papers. It is signed by Justin M'Carthy, Esq., a Magistrate of the county:— " Carrignavar, Thursday Morning, July 3. " Sta—l have great satisfaction in informing you, that three men, by name, Nagle, Taylor, and Haly, were last night apprehended by several of the country people at Ballinvriskig, in the North Liberties of the City. Nagle bas been fur some months the principal ringleader in the several outrages which took place in liberties and ad jacent parts of Barrymore, and may justly be called The Captain Rock of that part of the country. He bad arranged to make an attack upon a respectable gentle. man's house at Piercetown last night, and proceeded to the rendezvous, when some young flumes. of the names of Daly. Hart, Collins, Murphy, and Daniel Haly, of Coolgreen, rushed upon him and his comrades, disarmed them, and sent of two of their body to me. Information of the intended attack having been given, two parties of the Military from the barracks, tinder N. Hartnett and Robert Lawe, Esqrs. proceeded towards Ballinvriskig and Piercetown, to ;he former of whom the prisoners were handed over. A quantity of powder, some balls and flints, a musket, and a sword, were found on Nagle." By the Brazil mail, letters were revived Yesterday from Bah,e of the 15th, and Pernambuco of the lith May. The Portuguse fleet from Bahia, and the Brazilian fleet com manded by Lord Cochrane, had appeared in sight of each other, but after exchanging a few shots Lord Cochrane steered for the northward, and the Portuguese squadron returned to the port of St. Salvador. Marliera, the Por tuguese General at Bahia, has, it is said, deposed the junta, and taken the whole power, civil as well as mill taty, into his hand. It appears that on leaving Portu gal be carried out with him full authority for that pur pose, bat did not produce it until, at a recent meeting of the junta. he found they were disposed to surrender the city to the Brazilians. He then laid before them his powers, deposed the members, and deelerod his intention to defend the place for Portugal to the last extremity. HUI.L.—The erection of New Assembly Rooms at this town, is about to be carried into effect. Earl Fitz william. High Steward of the Corporation, and Earl Mulgrave, Lord Lieutenant of the town, have handsomely con:ri bated 1001. each for this purpose. Reocen.—On Monday last the foundation stone of the new church, at Redcar, was laid by the Hox.Lady Turner. The procession was grand beyond any thing ever seen at Redrar. The Brethren of Freemasons from the Lodge, at Stockton, attended upon the occasion, dressed in their robes, a• d were accompanied by most of the nobility and gentry in Cleveland. STATE OW TRADE 13 PAISIBT.—Trade in general has been very discouraging here for some time. It has indeed been uncommonly flat during the last three months. The plaid and shawl business, the most important of any for giving universal employment, has experienced an extra ordinary and a most fatal depression. A•few houses, t'te most respectable in the line have, in a manner, relin quished this branch, and for no other avowed or ostensi ble reason, but the unfortunate state of things which pre vails.

In this piece, Terry is ao old Admiral, who has betrothed his neice Laura to his son Charles. The young folk-, how ever, take the usual after-liberty of betrothing themselves again to other persons.
