CORK, MARCH 2i.—tfa Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, the dwelling-house of Mrs. Jiitgoe, at Kilronan, within two miles of Dimnranany; was attacked by a par ty of insurgents, who first demolished all the windows with stone% and called aloinilor arms, which they said were inside. Not being answered•immediatelv , eight men and a boy entered the kitchen window, and one of tt cm tired at the servant boy, who was brieging the arms down stairs, and be narrowly escaped, the ball l acing passed by his car and lodged in the wall.

(Iron.) • Last Thursday. as Mr. Persse, Chief Constable, was returning font Clonmel to Balling, in Owney and Arr.', became ap with two nioun•ed constables escorting Bono- Ja. Ryan .and another Crown• witness from Clumnell, about three miles from Tipperary, on the Limerick road; they had sto7ped six armed peasantry, one of ohms was nmonttti : Mr. Perm demanding their authority for be ing armed, they said they hail none, but had been driving for rent, fot Which they, however, showed no authority. Haying refused to give up their arms, and put themselves in * position fur attack, Mr. Persse remonstrated, whoa ere of them said he would go with Mr. Cersse to a Mo gistrive. Mr. P. with this single man, went to Tippera ry, and communicated the matter to Mr. Purefey, • Ma e istrate, who immediately proceeded with the Chief Constable and a party of Police to meet •the peasantry, from wlinin, on coming up witi)hern, he detnanded•their anus: two of them immediately snapped their pieces al his', but, from the wetness of the day; they fortunately did ant go off. Mr. Puretoy then ordered the Puliceto disarm them, which they effected; but aniuckily;in the ;viol meowing them, the pistolof John Fennessey, one of the Polite Coostables, weaMatf,the contents of which lodged in his own body, and be died in consequence on Thursday night. The Poker Constables behaved with the utmost coolness, and Onally succeeded in making poisoners of all • the party, whom they lodged in lippe tart' prisoo.—(Clorensel•Herald.) The following additional circumstances, relative to the exhumittion of the skull of Baron Swedenborg, are com mnnicated in a letter to the Editor of a Horning paper, by a person who attests them with his signature, and who expresses a desire to skreen the sexton or grave digger from the charge of having been bribed to aid in purloining the above-mentioned skull from its coffin. " Captain Lndvig Granholin, of the royal navy of Swedes, called on me, near the end of the year 1817, inviter' rue-to his lodgings, and showed me a skull, which be s tid was the skald of Swedenborg. He informed me, that a few days before that time, be had attended the funeral of one of his countrymen, into the vault under the Swedish Ambassador's chapel, in Prince's-square, Ratcliffe-highway, anti that he remained there a short, time, with others; looking at the inscri p tions on various coffins. That on reading the name of the Honourable' Emanuel Swedenborg, and observing that the coffin-11d aces loose, be was seized with the idea of making a large vim of money, by taking the skull,and selling it to some one of Swedenborg's followers, who, b e had beard, amount ed to many thousands in this country, and amongst t'kons, be imagined, there would be much competition for the possession of so valuable a relic. Ile watched his opportunity, lifted• the lid, took out the skull, wrapped it in his pocket handkerchief, and carried it out of the chapel unnoticed. " 1 informed Captain Granhohn, to his great disap pointment, that the members of the new Jerusalem etsnrch reprobated the po-session of any religious raVc, aed mete particularly a part of a dead body, which, they believe, will never more come into see, the soul re maining, after death, a complete and active man in a s:-iritnal body, not to be agaia fettered with materiel rash. blood, awl bones. " Captain Ilranhohn died a few months afterwards fn London, without having disposed of the skull, and without having left this country, so that several particu hre of the account in your paper of the 3lst ult. are e-froneou. A very curious circumstance occasioned the coffin lid to he loose :—About the year 1790, a Swedish philoso pli-r, then in London. who was a great admirer of SWP• denhorg's philosophical writings, Ictt bad no relish for membersogi became acquainted with sonie of the of the Neer church. and warmly opposed Swe eenhorg's tenet—that the soul takes a final leave of the material body at death, and entered on its new scene of superior activity in a spiritual body more suited to obey its energies. The learned Swede endravottred to per via& them, that all great philosophers bad, by virtue of ,found wisdom. the power. of taking wito them into the world of spirits their matnral bodies; and he asserted his full conviction, that Swedenborg - , whom he considered one of the first .philosophers, had taken away b's hotly out of the cottio. .

I Tht prisoner, in leaving the dock, declared that his life bad been sworn away by perjured witnesses. William Milford, who was acquitted at the last assizes of the copilot charge, was this day convicted on the minor charge of having committed an assault with the intent to commit a rape, on the body of a child under 11l years of age. Ile was sentenced to 12, mouths' imprisonment. and to hard labour at the tread-mill during the whole of the time. - Out tourt.t..—A very smart dressed lad of IS, named James Holmes, was brought up yesterday before the sit ting Magistrate, Alderman T. SMITH, npolt the charge of a venerable-looking old man, his father, who, though moving in the humble sphere of a porter at a straw-hat manufacturer's, hail, he said, been able to bestow upon leis eon an education which might have qualified him far almost any situation, and had been particular in his en deavours to instil into his mind a due sense of his moral and religious duties. Ile had been equally careful, at the proper age, of putting him *ell out in lite, and had pro cured hint a very excellent situation; where, however, he conducted himself so ill, as in a short time • •u be turn ed awry. Ile took him home again, and endeavoured by good advice to reform him, but he aplieareul to despise all admonition; seldom returned home till very late at night, and, to supply himself with means of continuing Lis dissipations; bad latterly taken to roll bing him. About a month ago he had provided hini self with a key which opened all his (the father's) drawers, and had forced a small desk which is in snit of 'them, and stolen therefrom 31. 6a., which he had laid by to pay his quarter's rent. He enumerated several other acts of dishonesty, but observed that on Sundry last be haul a long and serious talk with his son upon his con duct; that he freely forgave him all that had passed be fore upon his promise of good behaviour for the future; and yet, notwithstanding, on Monday morning he opened One of his drawers and sto!e a waistcoat, which he had pawned for 4s. Finding him thus determined to 'mane his bail courses, lie haul no other resourct left than to brlog him before the Magistrate, He wastublir„ed to leave his son at home when he we nt to work, and histonti-ss3 at such times towards his mother was so violent, that he feared he would, in his absence, do her some bodily rniqcbief. The old man told this tale with great feeling, which it was some' pleasure to obeerve affected the prisoner also ; fns upon being asked what he had to lay to this charge, I be limited into tears, and answered only " Guilty." From the confessions he had made to Worcester, the officer; and the answers he gave to the questions put to hint by the Magistrate, it appeared that the prisoner's principal infatuation was' that of dashin g about at • the public theatres, in the box lobby of one or other of which he was to be found whenever his depredations haul pro eared him the means of making his appearance there.— The money which the old man, his father, haul so care fully saved up to pay his quarter's rent, was expended in three nights in admissions to the theatre, and supper, and wine afterwards for himself ana another box-lobby lotrave,luis companion--a lady's shoemaker, with whom he bet °me acquainted at the theatres. As the father had never before had recourse to other means than that of giving his son good advice, and as the latter eppeared somewhat sensible of the awful and de grading situation in which be was placed, the Magistrate thought it would not be advisable to proceed toextremi ties with the prisoner; and in the hope that confinement and rettection might work the proper change in his mind, he was committed to Bridewell for one month, with directions that he should be keptseparate from other prisoners. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday John Smith, was brought before Mr. HALLS. charged 1.0 suspicion of stealing revt ral lambs, the property of Robert Cannain, hag. of ;Twickenham. Mr. Cannam had a large numberof sheep and lambs at Twickenham, and the prisoner was his shepherd. About a fortnight ago the prisoner informed him that three of the lambs had and he had a similar tale to till on subsequent days until nine or ten were gone. Mr. (an num began to suspect that the prisoner was robbing hitn, and asked him what be had done with the skins snit carcases? Ile replied that he had sold the skins to a man at Twickenham fur three halfpence each, and the car cases be had given to his dogs. Mr. Cannam; however, still suspected bhp, and questioned him until he thought he discovered some prevarication in his answers. He then made inquiry in the neighbourhood, and found that the prisoner bad told him a falsehood with respect to the man to whom lie said be sold the skive. The prisoner, after his apprehension, confessed freely to the officer, that be hail sold two live lambs to the sons of an inn keeper for 3s. lid.; but he said they were his perquisite 'oy a custom which prevailed throughout the country, and when that was done away with he would give over being a shepherd. Mr. Ilitinpliries, the prisoner's Solicitor, said it hail been a ruvtem from time immemorial for Shepherds to bare the skins of lambs that died as their perquisite, suit another privilege equally ancient was, that w hen an ewe had twin lambs and was weak and sickly the shepherd took away one, which he considered his own property. His notion of perquisites might be erroneous, but if the prisoner took the lambs, really conceiving that he had a right to do so, there must be an end of the charge of felony. • Mr. Cannam laughed repeatedly while Mr. Humphries was urging these points, and the latter with considerable warmth said, " Really, Sir, I must be free to tell you that your conduct is not ron-istent with your cbaractrr as a gentleman.% t is not at all becoming you to stand laugh ing in the face of a fellow-viesture whose life is at stake upon a charge of which you are the prosecutor." Mr. HALLS said he supposed Mr. Canna's) langhed at the extraordinary proposition put forth by the Learned Gentleman, according to which a shepherd might sweep otf the whole of his master's dock. Ile thotight it a case fora Jury, and should send it for trial. The prisoner was committed for trial. Maimantourix-svater.—Yesterday a youth of 18, of respectable appearance, was brought from the watchhouar and che..ged before Mr. CONAN', under the following rattle+ singular circumstances :—Mr. Hitchcock, of St. George tel, Alberotrle-street, stated that on Monday or:Tuesday test a young man, describing himself as thecterh of 'Mr. Bower, solicitor, of Ctifferes-intl, came tO his !tease and ---- - asked - permission to view the vacant apartments India hotel, IN Rd eirserit'byhis twayiloyer i tti seekluteetdonodellotithere fora family of wealth'. and rank, who *me hourly etpdenkd ia town from the country ;. his request was sec./stied to; and he was conducted over the suits of rooms, where he express ed.httnself highly settsfieli; and begged to be allowed time to alone the bargains Hitchcock carelessly said he ihmeld have time, and on the following day the young man again , made his appearance, saying that a young gentleman of the!, wealthy family was in town, end would take paskession of the rooms that evening. Accordingly, they were prepared!! fee his reception, and about 9 o'clock on Wed nesda y eves- ' 1 in a hackney-coach drove up and the prisolter &lighted; 4 very heavy trunk and portmanteau were carried td'hia rooms ; a dispute arose about the coach-fare, end the driver; 'departed without being paid, The prisoner gave orders to ageontmodated with every thing in the most splendid style. and bin food, die., was served'idaz Ina, molt saftrfitii-, sus manner. Something occurred which induced Mr. Hitch cock to inquire at Mr. Bower's, in Clifford's-inu,.and that: gentlemaro, with great surprise; deelbred that none of himd clerks were ever ordered by him to seek apartments for person. On Mr. Hitchcock's return home, the young man s bill *as sent with a peremptory demand' for instant payment ; bid he declined being arprompt in'performitig the order, and finally refused to remove himself or trunks, and was, after a long altercation, consigned to St. George's wetchhouse, 'where the-night constable took the liberty of opening Vie trunks, and found thetn fail of bricks. •The prisoner very composedly threatened Mr. Hitchcock and the constable with an action. The Magistrate asked the young tutu his . hems 7—lie a: plied Frederick Tboruiey. ' Mr. CoastaT was proceeding to interrogate him as to the natnre of his employ, resource*, and motives of con duct, when Mr. Sass, a portrait and historical painter, steprd forward and said, that altlioneli unwilling to identify him s elf in any way with the young man's present situation, We thought it necessary to say something rela tive to him. His father was a gentleman of property,' and had sent the young man to him to receive instruc tions in the art of painting . , and lie very regularly attend ed. his lectures and lessons. His conduct appeared irre proachable until the publication and subsequent perform ante of "Tom and Jerry," entirely disarranged his mind and all the pursuits of study 'rider awhile neglected; the young man's whole amo4etnetit bsib comeentrated night bran Is and other pieces of folly and inconsistency. In this, the gentleman did not think him singular, as hid' the 'rang Men of' the metropolis were seized with the sanie mania, and were . proCii-ding in a course which they never would heels troneliad &Caro* nevir ippeared. The present act of the young Man be believed 'was *Wire a foolish frolic than any intention of fraud ; in fact, it mild not have proceeded from any other motive, in his opinion. He bad kent for lois father, and hoped the Ma filtrate would consider the . pdionir as a youth led by foolish companions to the commission of such fully. - Mr. CONANT certainly concurred with the gentleman •in believing that the publication to whice he alluded bad done a great deal towards the injury of youth; blithe never 'odd suppose the prisoner had any innocent ia 'tendon of taking splendid apartments; and conveying trunks loaded with bricks to 'theta ; on the conteary, he was of opinion, his intention was more that of fraud than anythi g , else. • • Mr. 'Hitchcock said the young man had lodged in Hu rrstreeti.Bloomsbury, where his character v,.as not con sidered of the - best hind. Mr. Sass hoped, at all events, the best interpretations wottlel be put upon circumstances nut proved. Mr. CONANT said be Wei 'afraid the voting man had leagued himself' with a gang 6f swindlers. He then asked An young men several' questions, to which be re plied, limvers,ayoung wan, who lived in the Surrey-read, bad taken the apartinente fur lam, but for what purpose he either cttdld hot or to explain. It was Isere intimated that Mr. HitcheoCk would hot proceed against the prisom-r criminally. The hackney-et:mb man mane forward, but the priennerpeid hint his (till*de mend, and 'he was satisfied. . . 'Mr. CONANT told the young moan that he might con sider himself very fortunate if 'he eirsplif ; 'bdt out of Vim office be, should not go, until he gave an accrinnt•of him self sod his companions. The prisoner said he bad no thing to tell bete. Mr. Scott, of Holborn, stepped forward, and stated that a few days since the prisoner ordered homer° Bory street two paint boxes, with colours, a portfolio, and a' bracket; and on their being delivered, he sent the boy back for a case of instruments, and on his return lie was gone out. One of the boxes was found with him ; it was prodneed. Mr. CONAN r.—Well, Sir, what have you done with the other articles. Prisoner.---I have sent one box to a gentleman named Phillips; the other things are in Bury-street. Mr. CONANT pressed him for a clearer statement, and at length he confessed he had pawned the box, and he gave up the duplicate; he also confessed that his name was Thornley Abrahanis. Mr: CONANT animadverted on the foolish conduct of tradesmen in sending goods to mere strangers; he even thought a case would not stand under such circumstances. The worthy Magistrate asked the prisoner if he would make a return of all the property? He replied certainly, and the pawnbroker being sent fur, an arrangement with all parties was accomplished. The Magistrate gave him a very serious admonition on discharging him. The until:s were cleared of their rubbish in the street. Errenstva CIttIICIIYARD Roanaatas.—Six or seven of the most desperate resurrection-men in the metropolis lave been for a conaiderabltitime employed in stealing dead bo dies in the burial - ground of Ildllywell-chapel, in the Mir tain-road ; but it has been ascertained that since the hue and cry was raised through the whole country, the depreda• Lions In the abote-nientiohed burial-ground have greatly In creased. No Suspicion had ever been entertained that the . 1 1 C ur tain-road graves were subject to the visits of the o bnoxf- bus trade ; but a quarrel which took place on Wednesday night about the division of the amount of a corpse, blew up the whole of the plots which had been laid against the dead and the dying. One of the snatchers, who laid claim to a quid (205.) more than his confederates consideted him enti tled to receive, vowed that if the ghost did not apper—that is, if they did not glee him his detuand—he would go and split to the parish. His companions defied him, and he was as good as his word. Word was left at Several houses of mourning that those who were lamented no longer lay in the earth, but had risen, with the assistance of " the shovel end the hook," and never would return. The consternation caused by this dreadful intelligence cannot be described. — On the following morning, hundreds of persons, most of whom were respectable, ran to the burial-ground, and caus ed the earth to be removed to a considerable depth. The distress of fathers and mothers, and other relations to those who had lately died, was then apparent indeed. The burial ground, in a few hours, contained no less than between two and three thousand of the neighbours. No less than 19 cof tins, without corpses, were dug up. They were most of them open at the head, and the death clothes remained in them. The plates were, for the greater part, removed from the respective coffins, and thrown together in a heap, and if was calculated thatthe depredators raised the bodies through holes dub a few folit.froca the mould over the graves, in a sloping direction. Those Unhappy persons who missed relatives or friends became, after the first ebullition grief, completely unmanageable. As the burial groan, appears to he inaccessible to thieves, however ingeoiom without the assistance Of the person in charge of it, a f rious attack was made upon the house of the grave di ger, which is close to the ground, and all the windo% were speedily demolished. The grave digger hinisel WAS seized, and thrown into a grave, and would has been actually buried alive, had nor the police arrived at . . protected him. Many of the parishioners once moi 4aw the pale and now mortified faces of those they ha fulltieed to the grave, and went away contented.
