Ennskilles." .•• A very dis graceful outrage uccurred here on Friday last; the following are the facts as I have been able to collect them :—The Orangemen of several Ledges in this neighbourhood received notices to attend their Masters and Commanders at the Fair of Enniskillen, and to arm themselves, to a - - tack the Papists, and to commence the battle when the' Magistrates should have retined from the Fair, to spare, neither sage nor sex.' the Earl of Enniskillen bad notice of the intended breads of the peace, and on this as on every ether occasion which he is called on to exercise' his Magisterial functions, discharged his ditty as an up right and impartial alagistrate, Several other Magistrates attended with the same I oulable intention—namely Richard Dane, Esq.; John Armstrong,. Esq; -- Jones, Esq. and other*. These Magistrates cuoceived that the bee& mode of preserving the peace was to deprive all suspicion/ persons of their arms, and with this view seized on rvery person carrying a stick. and took it from him. By three' means the Papists (if they had formed and premeditated , design to be the agressars) lost their arms. While the ' Magistrates continued it the Fair, no disturbance took place; but the moment they retired, the Orangemen coal; mooted the attack, amt a desperate " riot ensued, in which. several persons were severely beaten. • A short lima eitime Mr. Loder.steward to Lord Doneraile.' while walking la the Demesne, was way-laid by a ruffian, who ordered him to stand, and presenting a bionderbuss at hien, demanding ask, a• former order of tiener.l nook's,, regulating the quantity of potato garden uhich should bp', men given to his Lordelda's 'abdo had not been attendoel'l to. The Steward replied thot Its received no no:ice or' litter of the kind, on whits the fellow paused for a short time and said, that if . be. (the Steward) pledged biuseelf ' that he did not get the order. sad promised to keep the present occurrence secret. he would spare his life. 'fo this as might be naturally expected. to get oat ui the fangs of the villain. he cossented, and the fellokr went off, remark ing at the same time, that, he. wii about to execute -a similar mission in another pert of the eonntry. His Lori ship and the Gentlemen of the neighbourhood have come forward and liberally subscribed for the apprehension of the parties coocerneel. About nine o'clock on Sunday night last, a party of the Incendiaries pet fire to the produce of an acre of %sheet, the property of a man named James Began, near Castleeor; the wheat hail been in stooks, but appeared to have been collected into two heaps before it was conannied. The motive assigned for this outrage is, that the last tenant bed bees ejected. and the present possessor, by tok:ng the grounds, bad offended szainst the arrangements of those nocturnal legislators. Mr. Crossley, jun. Chief Con stable, and a party of mounted Police. arrived on the spot about an hour after the corn was set fire to, but too late to discover the perpetrators of this flagitious out. rage. On the same night a party of Whiteboys, one of whom appeared to act as a leader, having • white scarf round his bat, visited the blest of Mr. non, near Two Put Mate, between Mallow and Buttevant. .They threatened to burn his property, and murder bin and his family, if lie dill not discharge two persona who were in his employm .nt, and if he did not settle hie tithes in a, particular way which they pointed out. Crams( sh.oc c. S.—On-Monday last, about twelve o'..lock at noon. a brutal attack was made on two men tamed Hard lag (father and son), and a man named Smyth, who employ ed them as keepers on the lands -of tiiant's grave not two miles north west of Chrome:l, by three felioes, two of them armed with pistols. who beat them in a savage manner with the butt-ends of the pistols and with stones. After knocking Smyth down, they put bins On - his knees. sad swore hint, on pain of dreadful punishment. never to bring keepers on the Mods again ; after which they gave him severali very severe blows on the head and ribs, and inflicted such dangerous wounds on the head of young Harding, that lie was speechless fur several hours. Dr. Fitzgerald,a Magistrate, having heard of the outrage, hurried to the spot, bringing with him the Police stationed in Gloom , ' ; but though the most diligent search was made by these men under his command, no trace of the. assailants could be found. Young Harding was brought in here un a litter, with little hopes of recovery—but on enquiry yesterday we ascertaine.l that he bad ree .vered the use of his speech, and that be was better.—(.ldeer tiser.) Ltsienicc, OCT. B.—On Wednesday night list, at eight o'clock, a party of insurgent+ set fire to a large horn, on the lands of Ballinachera, in this County. The only trason that can be assigned for this outrage is, "hat the proprietor , (Carroll Nash, Esq. of Ballyeallin) suppressed an intention of drawing to it, on the following day, the rorn of some defaulting tenants. The Police of Newbeidge and Askeaton, seeing the fire. repaired to the spot, bat too late to extin guish the flames. On Saturday night. a quantity of hay was maliciously set on tire anti consumed, on the %MIS of Booms; near Newport. Co. Tipperary, the property of Philip Ryan. Two cows were hougbed. and a third shockingly man gled, on Wednesday night, in the neighbourhood of Kildv sart, County Clare. The land, held by a man named Chambers, is at present under ejectment, and the cattle were placed on the ground by the Landlord. Conn Elenallos, Oct', 17.--Ttur arrivals this week are mo- derate.

LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.—(Tats Dar.) 1 A case of considerable importance was brought before the 1 Court this day on the motion of Mf. Andrews, who stated that there was now a person named BakJim at the bar, who stood charged witlka very extensive fraud In having obtained property In the name of a Mr. Hallman, from a gentleman named Gus• Lard. From some cause or other It happened that Mr. Hall man had not been bound over wlththe prosecutor and the other witnesses, and was now In the country; consequently die motion he had to make was, that the prisoner should be re manded until the next 2essions, when Mr. Hallman would be able to attend. • The Cnntannx asked why Mr. D. was sot bound over? Mr. Annaaws said be did not know, but believed it arose from. mistake. CHMRMAPI—There must be some reason for it, and lam sure no Magistrate would let the chief . witness go without entering into recognizance,. Mr. Anoaews thought that went so far as to say a Magis trate never made a mistake. He considered toe present motion a regular one. There was no lineation on the part of blr. Hallman to keep book, and he ribald have been here to day, but his business called his to Liverpool. The Learned Coon eel here handed in an andavit of the facts, sad after consider able discussion, Sir ItibdAßD BIItNIE said the MS orlulnally came before him, when Mr. batmen was not presert. It subsequently was heard by Mr; Hills, who committed the prisoner. The CifAIR*AN, after consulting the Bench, said, the Court could tiot interfere. The case roust take its regulai course, and if tie . llritnd July threw out the Bill, the pri soner would be esidded is his discharge at the close of the Sessions. In fact; the' Court had no authority to de- tail) him. Mc-AV:maws intigiated that he should send the case before thiiLlrand Jury, but he did not entertain the Wee that they *hid return - the Bill found. • • ' SHIPPINU IN I'ELLIHENCE. - DEAL, October I6.—Wind West.--Came down from the River and remain the Expedition.

COMSIILS TO SOUTH AISKRICA...-We understand, that in addition to the Consuls whose appoietutent to the South American Etates hare already been made public, two others have been since appointed to Chili and Colombia. The latter has received immediate orders to join the Iris sloop of war, new at Plymouth, waiting only for his arrival to pro ceed. The Consul for Chili has likewise orders to bold himself ready for immediate ernharkatiol The latter U stated to be a relative of the Duke of Buckingham, an 1 thol former has strongly recommended by the Duke Ili Wellington.—(Morning Paper.)

Letters have been received from Gibraltar. dated the2sth ult. Ilv them we learn, that the cargoes of wheat which costinded to arrive there were so numerous, as to render that grain totally nasal able, and the principal e arn of them were being forwarded on to Lisbon. Provisions of all kinee were likewise very abundant and dull of sale. Tie political intelligence brought by these accounts, are not of so Late a date as the prior arrivals through France which have anticipated tie contracts. During the revolt among the aegroes on the east coast of Demerara, it is satisfactory to know that none of those in Essequibo showed a similar disposition. Four of the rebels were executed in Georgetown on the tStls of August, whose names were as follow m—Evan. of Plantation Good Hope; Donis, of ditto Plaisance ; Daniel and Philip, of ditto The white persons that were murdered by negro*a on plantation Nabaclis were Mr. Richard Reid and Mr. George Runyon.

It would appear that a tier, containing ab but 211bs. of gunpowder, had been left in a small apartment in the attic story of the house, into which Mrs. Stewart had occasion to go for some articles of drapery. It is said that Mr. S. freqnently cautioned her against coin! there with a light, as the workmen, in getting sup,ilies from the cask, had strewed portions of it on the flo ir ; and evre denied her a candle.
