Edward Morgan was here confronted with witness and being examined on oath, swore he had ueser made use of such expression in his life to "tuned., or any other person; and that lie had not once iipeord his lips to the witness since the decision of the arbitration; this took place in April last. An ■lmsuack was now referred to, and it appear. ed there was no such fair as that of Ballingarry ht A ugust. Judge MOORE charged the Jury, and • verdict of Guilty was immediately returned against both Prisoners. Sentence not proliounced. David Carton, Joins bitten. and Johns Mullane, were then placed at the bar. The Prisoners were indicted, for that they, at Churchtown, in the coutity of Limerick, did uu the 25th of November feloniously break into the house of John Reilly, in order to compel him to quit the place; and that they, on the same day and place, did uttempt, by threats stud menaces, to compel said John Reilly to quit the neighbourhood ; and further for assaulting the said John Reilly. The Prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. The SOLICITOR-GINERAL stated to the Court, that in consequence of the youth of the Prisoner David Carton, it was out the intention to prosecute him, conceiving he must have been misled. He was, of course, put back ; lie appeared to be shout 16 years of age. The trial of the two other Prisoners, fliston and Mullane, was then proceeded with.

They then threw stones at him ; he still held the scythe, and one of them said, " That's the scythe that will cut off your own head." The two prisoners were there; they came in after; t he prisoner John Mullane asked him, " Did he meats to stop itilhe place in spite of them ?"

During the trial it transpired. that a subscription purse lied been opened at New castle, fur the defence of - .itch men as might be taken and brought to trial for crimes connected with the disturbances of that part of the country.

On the night of the 6th instant an armed petty went to a far m-houae in the parish of Drown tugs, barony of Clane, which is occupied by Mr. John Sinytii. from whom they took a gun. After one of the party had fired a shot. they proceeded to the house of one James Dosielly„ who lives near Mr. Smyth's place of residence, from whom they took a blunderbuss. One of the party' tired a shot into Donelly's house, and ordered the rest "to shoulder their arms." They then departed. On the night of the 11th instsut, a party went to a house occupied by an old woman. It widows in the parish of Carough, and barony of Clare, from whom they took a gun and a pistol. On the slight of the 16th instant, a party went to the house of another woman who lives in the parish of Carough, and took from her a gun. They proceeded from her house to Billyvollau, where they broke into the house of a man of the name of Cluzion, from whom they demanded his fire-arms, but did not obtain any.—/Eveulog Paper.) We have received an accurate account of the ammunition which hod been fraudulently taken out of the King's stores in Nuas. The proprietor of a public-house in the town contrived to get the key of the powder magazine in the barrack, from which he took three casks of ammunition. Two of them contained ball cartridges, and the other blank car tridges. A part of the plunder he gave away to sererul persona. and the remainder he sold to a vender of gunpowder in the tneris of Naas. When the circumstance became known to Major Tandy. he instantly instituted an inquiry into the strait, and succeeded in obtaining almost the whole of the ammunition. It seems, however, that no criminal use had been made of the retnainder.—//bid.)

Th e following Advertisement is prefixed to this new production of Sir Walter Scott, " The role," exhibiting the facts upon which it is founded : " Anvenfismeaxe.—The purpose of the following air. retire is to give a detailed sad securate account or certain remarkable incidents which look place iu the Orknry Islands, coneeroistg *bleb the more imperfect traditions aid mutilated ds of the cesietry ugly tell as the following ' erroneous particulars:— "In the month of J y, 1724.5, a Vessel called the Revenge, bearing 20 large guns, and six smaller, consemod ed by Juhn Gow,,or Golfe, or Smith, came to the Ork ney Islands, and was die d to be a pirate by various acts of insolence and villainy committed by the crew—. These were (or some time submitted to, the inhabitasts of these remote isles& not possessing arms nor menus of sistsuce; and so bold was the Captain of these basdutti, the:- he nut only came ashore and gave dancing parties in the r.:. lage of Strumuess, but before his real character was vered, engaged the affections mid received the troth-plight • young lady possessed of some property. A patriotic hail:. vidual, James Fea, younger, of Clestrou, famed the pier, of securing the buccaneer, which lie effected by a ni;:tnir of coyly and address, in consequence chteily of Gun's vessel having gone ors shore sear the harbour of Calfsouod, on the island of Eda, not far distant front a house the n habuted by Mr. Feu.

He conducted himself with crest dscity when before the Court; and from an account of the matter, by an eye-witness, seems to have keen subjected to some unusual severities, in order to compel hunt to plead. The words are these: 'John Cow world not plead, for which be was brought to the bar, and the J•dgea mitred that his thumbs aboold be squeezed by two ones with. - whipcord till it did break; and then it should be doubled, till it did again bleak; and then laid threefold, and that the executioners shotildpfull *alb their whole stfeligth; whirl: sentence COM endured with a great deal of bolJness."l - lee next morning (27th May, 1725), when be bad seen the preparations for pressing him to death, his mirage girl way, and be tuld the Marshal of the Covet thai he %Quid Not have given him so much trouble, had he bees assured oot being hanged in chains. He was then lewd, condemned, ' and executed, with others of his crew. " It is said that the Lady, whose affections Cow had en. gaged, went up tu I.ondon to see hum before his death; and that ariiving too late she bad the courage to request • sight of his dead body ; soil then touching the hand of the corpse, she formally resumed the troth.plight which she had bestowed.
