DUBLIN.—COMMISSION, No►.3. Acseitettirstywo UNLAWFUL OATH.. Michael Keenan, Edward Browne, Win: Creely, W. Flinn, John O'Neill, Daniel Moore, Edw. Heghev, and Laurence Weeds, were arraigned at the bar. The pri inners all pleaded not guilty, and stated, that Wry were inlay for their trials. The panel was then called o►er, when Michael Keenan was put upon his trial. The prisoner was indicted. for that be wickedly and maliciously administered unlawful oaths to a person an known, to be of a Society which was held in the city of Dublin in August, ISt?, for sedition* purposes, against toe peace of our Sovereign Lord the Kin!. There was a second count in the indictment, which stated it to be an engagement; there was a third and a fourth count, which stated the oath to bind the parties to obey the roles of said Society, not lawfully contitiited ; the fifth and sixth counts, to obey a Commander not appointed by his Majesty ; the seventh and eighth, not to reveal any illegal act done by said Society, After Mr. Gasses bad opened the case, the Attorney- General addressed the Jnry. It was his duty, be said, to state what the galore of this Association was, is which the prisoner and his companions were engaged, and it was with great pain he felt himself obliged to do so.— Foe some years back, more than two or three years, a plan was formed for associating the members of the cousrnaniq, into on organised body, for the purpose of severtbroodag the Government of the country. Their piss was Arm to have lodges formed of 30 or 40 persons each; they took an oath to conform to the rules of the society and to obey the orders of their leaders and as peelers; alas to keep inviolable the secrets of the so— ciety. They had also Baronial Assemblies, County Aseemblise, Proviscial Assemblies, and National As. semblies. They must all recollect the years 97, 98, and 1803. The whole system of the machinery on which they acted was them framed, the tnode of which was taken from another country. What the precise object was 'WA they hid in view, it would he dif fi cult to say. This society, however, differed from that of 97, 98, and 1703, as they bad rose resolution which was exclusively their own, and which was that no persons except those professing the Roman Catholic religion should be ad imitable into the Society. This stamped the danger and thi illegality of such associations. They were spread log beyond the city and the county, but were not, be thought, by any means connected with the out rages which lately to .k place throughout the coun try. They were rather hatching their plots until one general convulsion should shake the Constitution to itscentre. . Many persons thought they were connect • ed with the Radicals of the sister country. The views of the individuals were frequently found to be various . ; it was alleged that the Society was formed for the purpose of subverting the law. Ef any act was to cause a break. inn out of the Radicals i a England, they were to cause a diversion here, so as to compel the army to be seat over. Another object of the Society was, that of extirpating all the Protestants of the country. No person of any rank or station in society bas been connected with them but on the contrary , every penes of that description has eodsavoured to put them down.— We shall prove. Gentlemen, said the Attorney- Geseral. the existence of the Society; that the priioner at the bar was a leading member of it; that he attended twenty or thirty different en - ratings of that Society; that be assumed authority and command. sad met rams into the country. We shall prove that he t person who will be prodaced to you on the table; at on the 14th of January last, he was about to swear a person in, and that is three d rui l o s ai ifter, on the 17th, he stated that be had sworn in. t geupg. Wit *it Ms* al* *Wile was ar a maw of papers were found in his room, one of which was the form of the oath. We shall produce the person who met bins at Uwe tsars ciatioos. Whatever imputation there may be rest upon the person who took the oath sot to reveal their secrets, sod afterwards did disclose them, it will be for you to say what credit be is intitled to. Were they not to re sort to the legitimacy of persons called informers, it would be to invest those Associatioos with the attri bates of truth and virtue. After some ether remarks. the Attorney Oe. nen' coseluded by reminding the Jury that the charge against the privateer did sot affect his life. Michael Coffy (the approver) was then examined mad the printed and MS. papers were handed In as evidence . There was no evidence adduced un the part of the prisoner, and after Baron Smith summed sap, the Jury retired for an hour and a half and then re turned with a verdict of Geilly. --.41...-- OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. DIMINO 00/11•114.-011 Sat/Inlay eight last, at the hoar of II o'clock, as Joseph Baker, Esq. was proceed ing from Croukhaven to his residence at Bellies, in the West of this County, he was most furiously attacked by six ruffians, (who evidently had laid in wait for his com• lag,) by whom be was beaten most unmercifully, and would, no doubt have fallen a victim to their rage, had he not by a desperate exertion disengaged himself from their grasp and fired the contents of a heavily laden pistol in the midst of them, which it is believed must have taken effect as he was enabled to escape home with- out farther molestation.—(Southern Reporter of Satur day.) On Thursday night, or Friday morning, a Farmer's haggard in the parish of Grenagb,containing nine stacks of corn, was burned; we have received the statement from a gentleman, who on Friday saw it still burning. We feel peculiar regret at inch atrocious practices preaching so near our city, anal into a district hitherto Lwith the exception of one more burning) tr a nq u il. mash is a parish united to Blarney, the Rector of which, Mr Stopford. Is a constant resident, and one of the most lenient, charitable, and respectable Gentlemen is oar eiteety.—(Mitl.)

Henry Hutchinson, Esq. of Rocicforrest, near Roscres, by which one thousand kitties of tad and a hundred tons of hey were cosenmed. Nearly the same hour the turf boats of M . Birch, conreyinx fuel from the bog of Moustache, in that neighbourhood, to the Distillery of Eirchgrove, were wantonly damaged. Six months ago Mr. Hutchinson received threatening written no tires to leave tire-arms at a certain place, and his non compliance is supposed to have brought this visitation on him. CV/MMI, OCT. 30.—We have authority for stating, that on Sunday night last, at if o'cl..ek, the house of Mr. Jobs Ross, of Drumlemon, within one mile of Ciogbeen, was attacked by a large and well.armed party, six of whom entered the house, and succeeded in ob taining a gnu and pistol. They also attacked the house of a farmer named Ryan, in the same neighbourhood, but got no arms there. We understand the same party proceeded afterwards to the lands of (inrtheculla, about two miles free Idlogbeeo, and attacked the houses of Richard Lonergan,lDavid Lonergan, and David Mur phy, and the forge of Pat. Hyland, breaking the doors and windows, Lug shots, &c. giving the inhabitants notice to quit the lands; and wonaded one seas by a hot through the baud.—(Cleanse!

DAVIS'S STRAITS FISHIRT.—The Earl Perry, Mehl , son from Davies Striate, arrived on Wednesday morn• lug (39th ult.) in Kirkaldy Bay, with 16 hob, supposed to produce 200 tons of oil. It is believed this ship is the last vessel that left the ice this season. Most of the lisp were caught after the season that ships usually return.— (Caledonian Mercury.)

Of ten on board the Patriot, the Captain, Mate, and two seamen were killed, and three others wounded. They succeeded in beating off the pirate, and supposed they had killed almost all her crew, as they were frequently beard to cry for quarters. —(Adneriecas Paper ) (Froth the egos, Joeraal.)—We formerly men tioned the completion of the Caledonian Canal, and the passage of the Lushness steamboat through the Canal. On the evening of Wednesday week, the party landed at Fort Angustus, having saluted by a discharge of fire arms all the houses of the principal proprietors of the ground on the banks, who returned the salute in a sled. lit manner. when above fifty gentlemen were entertained by Mr. Want in the School-boast% OnThureday morn ing the party embarked for Fort William. la passing through Loeb Oich, they sainted lb* mansion-house of Glengarry, which is situated M tke north-slate. by discharge of are-arms, smirks bawd playing " My Name It is Donald M'Donald," which was returned from the aid Castle, and tb Chieftain himself obwd the party.

At half-past seise, 87 gentlemen, the guests of Sir. Ora kie sat down to 6 handsome and plea tiful dinner is the Mason Lodge. After the cloth had been drawn, and the usual loyal an.l patriotic toasts bad been drunk, "Prosperity to the Caledonian Canal" was given. We subjoin an account fof the length of the canal, and the depth of the cut at the different parts: — Prom the sea lock at Clachnary to Muirtows, the length is 1 mile 10 chains; 'depth from the sea to Dochgar roch, 12 feet; from Muirtown, through Loch Dochfour. to Loch Ness, 6 miles 55 chains t depth from Docbgar. roch to Loeb Ness, from 10 to It feet.

RUM° ow CAosaWATS Paol3llll2lll.—By the new Ge germ Turnpike Act, which is to take ease on the Ist ofJa suety next, it is enacted, ' That If any person shall rids upon say footpath or causeway, by the side orally turnpike road, made or set apart for the use or aceonamodadon of foot passengers, or shall lead or drive any horse, ass, mule, swine, or cattle, or carriage of any descriptioO, or any wheelbarrow, track or sledge, or any single wheel of any I waggon, cart or carriage, a part therefrom, upon any such (footpath, or causeway, every person offending shall, for every offence, forfeit any MO nut exceeding forty shillings. This seems to set at rest the long-disputed claim between foot passengers and horsemen to the causeway, which now appears to be the right of the former. By an Act passed early in the last session of Parlia ment, the sufferers by the acts of incendiaries have a summary of means affarded them of recovering damages for the injury so received by them, when the amount does not exceed 301. instead of having recourse to the more rircnitous and expensive aide of obtaining it by so action at law.
