WATIIRTORD, OCT.—Within a few nights two houses hate hero maliciously set on fire in the neighbourhood of Tallow,in this county. and entirely e0n,,,,, These acts, we bear, have been committed through private ma lice, and were not connected with that general system of devastation which is pursued in the neighboUring counties. On Saturday night week, a house belonging to a tenitent of Mr. Kiely, near Limon- ' was pulled down by • desperate banditti, two of whom have since been taken and committed to gaol. On Wednesday last, several Ilea.: of cattle, distrained for rent, on the estate of Counsellor Walahe, in the neighbonrbood of Dungarees, were rescued, though guarded by seven or eight policemen. To such a:dan gerous extent is the spirit of combination arrived in thet part of the county. Last Tuesday, Manrice Connell, a Barony constable from Dung , died at Tremor', in consequence of leaving drank spirits too freely. In the absence of the Cormier, an Inquest was held hy Alderman Henry Sar re, a Magistrate of the County, attended by a respect. able Jary.—Verdict " Died by excessive drinkiog." Connell had visited Tramore for the purpose serving Sessions summonses.—(lVoterford Mirror.) (From the Cobra!, Advertiser of Saturday.) In the early part of this kt Mc the Claddegh pirates have revived their former avocation of sending out guard-boats to prevent the country boats from taking herrings in the hay. Fifteen wen armed in one boat, proceeded to rut all the sets theycoald meet, and hawing an anchor hanging from the stern to drag them after wards amongst the rocks, and totally destroy them. In their proceedings, having met with some opposi. ' tion, they heat an unfortunate poor man, named Peter Bork,, who resides at Ballyloughane, the estate of Eras mus Smith, in so inhuman a manner as to leave him for dead. Medical assistance has been afforded him, sad we nod d that there is very little hopes of his recovery. Warrants are issued for the apprehen sion of those offenders, and hopes would be-entertained of their being secured, but that they have se many who take • pride in sheltering them. The Board of Fisheries should offer a reward for taking them, and every step should be followed up to mark the public abhorrence of such atrocities. COUNTY TtPTENART.—A very daring outrage took place near Caber on the night of Friday, the 27th ult. at a place called Garranaclooeh. About one o'clock fifteen armed writes we have been assured, gained an entraffce into Irk house of the Widow Bryan, for the purpose it is thought, of murdering her Nsphew, at whom one of the party made a cut with a erythe, and shattered his arm dreadfully. His Aunt hastened to his assistance, and was treated !lithe same sanguinary rise nsr by the banditti, her arm having been broken, and otherwise maltreated. 'lnc same night they attacked the houses of tour respectable farmers in the same neigh bourhood. Major Wilson's detachment of Extraordinary Police stationed at LW:math, apprehended a man named James Kean, charged with the murder of Darby Idol try, at the lost Fair of Windgap, County of Waterford. One of the conseqeences of the brutal riot at the Fair of Clerihan no Monday Inst, bas been the death of one of the misgnided beings concerned in it, Thomas Foley, who expired on Wednesday last at Glanagati. On Thurs day, an Inquest was held on the body by the Rey. Win. Stephenson and Gerald Fitzgerald, Esq. two Magis trates, and a verdict of Wilful Murder returned against Sc I persons who are well known. LIMP.RICK.

' set on tire ail consumed to ashes, on the lands o ea yea, in this county. A few nights ago, a farmer, sear Newborsegb, in this county, was flogged, for not oceedim to Captain Rock's legislation. A most active County Magistrate yesterday received a letter from Captain Rock, intimating that a handsome vim will be created for him, if lie ceases to pursue the Captain's associates. Thursday, a decent-looking young man received a se vere flogging from • passenger on one of the mail can. Tie- assigned was, that be presumed to prosecute, at the last Assizes, the persons concerned in the murder of Buckley. We have received the following, says the Dellis Fvehiog Post from our Newcastle Correapoedent, dated October 3 : - - - - -- - " On Tuesday night last a quantity of bay, which bad been said by aucjion for rent, was set on fire and emi ✓:lord on the lands of Ballinlibane, near Newcastle. An indication of an outrage of a similar nature, was at. tropted on Saturday evening. As a farmer, who had purchased some stock at an 'action, was conveying them )..•me, he was attacked by some men, who beat him an. mercifully ; but, fortunately, some friends, who were re. t,:rning from the market, arrived to bis assistance in suf. tr'ent time to prevent any further harm to the man, and Lived the cattle from being carried off."

He was remanded for further examination, MAIMBOROVOR-STILLIT.—CRAROZ OF BlGAMT.—Yos terday Miles Rarer, a middle aged man, late a ser vant in the family of Lord Westmoreland, was charged with having intermarried with Maria Aan Flask, anin teresting looking young woman, his former wife being still living. The prisoner was also charged with having deserted his former wife and three children ; and in so doing, burthening the parish of St. George with their support. It appeared that in consequence of the prisoner's neg lecting to support his wife and children, application was made by them to the parish, when support was granted, and continued for some time. A warrant, however, was issued for the apprehension of the prisoner, which was executed at the time be was cohabiting with another wo man, to whom it was afterwards ascertained the prisoner had been married. The officer here produced the certi ficates of both marriages, the last of which proved the marriage of the prisoner with Maria Ann Flask, to have been solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover square, on the 21st of February last. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say is his defence to the charge of deserting his wife and chil dren, said, he had continued to support them as far as was in his power, until a few months back, when his wife was continually threatening to prosecute him—in consequence of which, together with not being over stocked with money, be had neglected giving her the usual stipend; he was, however, at present perfectly willing to enter into any arrangement, and continue to contribute as much as he possibly could to their sup port. Mrs. Rayner, now deposed, that she had been mar ried to the prisoner for a number of years, and had three children by him ; but, in consequence of frequent dis agreements, the prisoner about eight years ago quitted her, when she was obliged to resort to the parish for relief, and the prisoner was compelled I. allow her a weekly stipend, which he acted up to for some time, but ultimately . seemed to forget that she and her children were existing. Since be bad thus deserted her, be bad cohabited with another female, and she at length wet ' tained that he had intermarri ed with Maria Ann Flask, who had occasionally called upon her with the greatest effrontery, confessing that she had been married to her husband, and making proposals to allow her something per week, which she disdainfully rejected, and deter mined on bringing forward the present prosecution. Mr. CONANT asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence to the latter charge?-11e acknowledged to having married Mary Ann Flask, but repeated his readiness to support his wife and family. Mr. CONANT asked if there was any person present to prove the second marriage? tirist produced the certificate, informing the Magis trate that the only person present, who conl , l prove the marriage, was Maria Flask, the second wife. The officer said be bad only instructions to proceed against the prisoner for the desertion of his family.

The male complainant stated that the Frenchman lodged in his house, and had not regularly paid him the rent ; the consequence of which was a distress upon the furniture. ►air promises ha►ing been frequently made and broken, en the part of the Frenchman, the proems was alternateV taken off and renewed, and at length the witness was obliged to think seriously of selling ar the goods for the amount, which was 31. Bs. The violence of the defendant was to be traced to this soarer, and the witness and his wife really apprehended the worst from Lim. The female complainant appeared to shrink from the sight of the defendant, who pleaded his own cause in a manner that etched much sympathy. He said the cruelty of the Milan (his brotliord) could be only ex • ceeded by that of his landlady, In whom breast there could not exist a spark of humanity, for she had encou raged her husband, whom she bad moulded into a tyrant on others, to press him for money in the most distress ing of all exigencies. He had a wife and children, who had nothing to eat; and one of his poor children, he be lieved, was dying in the measles; and the whole were almost destitute of clothes or covering, as be bad sold every thing to procure food, except the beds and Weil -1 ketik, which the landlord wished to strip them of. Be - sides, as he was a Jew, be could not put his lands to any work by which he could gain a livelihood. as one of their feasts was kept at this season most strictly. He regretted, and so, he said, would his country, if they could he brought to believe that an Englishman and his wife could be capable of such barbarous conduct. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the family of the de fentlant were is the state described,.and having learnt that there was no exaggeration in the statement, he 4 asked the female complainant whether aloe had children herself, and could not feel for rs pa►ent rattail' Is sack extremity ? She replied that she waitinitisar, tilt`olte felt foe, the misfortunes of the defendant as she ought, bet she declared be was such a savage in his temper, that no body could be found to entertain the least pity for him after he began his abuse. The Frenchman then threw a look of horror at the lady, and said to her etnphatically, "Oh ! Madam ! ! You have no soul. You are not above the in stinct of a brute; you have no conception of the feelings of a father." _. _ ._..._.. The LORD MAYOR said it was evident the unfortunate Frenchman had been treated with the most " un-Eng lishinanlike" harshness. He advised the complainants to learn humanity, and the defendant to leave his land• lord and landlady as soon as be could. GUlLDBALL.—Yesterday a gentleman applied for a warrant against a man for obtaining money ander false pretences. The gentleman sated, that his agent in London had granted a lease, and given possession of a Louse, to a man, who no sooner got the key than be set to work to strip it of the gutters, stoves, sinks, cisterns, locks, bolts, Ice. The agent was alarmed at this, and having been legally advised that it was only matter for an act' n of trespass, be thought it best to stop the destruct ive work hy compromising matters. He therefore told e latter that things must have fetched a mere trifle, as they were chiefly valuables as belonging to the house, and that he would remunerate him handsomely if he would bring them back. The roan assented to this proposal, bat said that the fixtures were already disposed of, and i the cash spent. lie did not doubt, however, that ifs fair profit were allowed to the purchaser, they could be got back. The Arent intrusted the man with money to re deem them, aid the consequence was, that be kept that too ; and neither the money nor the goods had since mad their appearance. The applicant now wished for a warrant against the man for having obtained money under a false pretence. The Magistrate considered that the act of taking away the goods before the compromise was felony; but the Chief Clerk and legal adviser of the Maeistrata cited au thorities to show, that if the walls, and floors themselves bad been taken, as *key belonged to the freehold, it would have been only a matter of trespass, for which a remedy could only be Lad by a civil action. The Magistrate regretted that he could reader the gentleman no assistance. BOW•STRERT.—On Thursday night and yesterday a great portion of the time of the Magistrates was occupied io hearing the following curious affair:— Mr Smith, a respectable butcher, at Hampstead, was the leaseholder of an inn at that vi11e,., ,, e, called the Old White Hart, which, however, has been abut up for a considerable time.—Some mouths ago, there being then twelve years of the lease unexpired, he made an assign ment of it to another person, a Mr. l'ardoe, it was under stood, who had it hut a eery short time before lie was found to be in insolvent circumstances; and he employed one Sharp., a broker and auctioneer, to dispose of it to the hest bidder. Mr. Sharpe soon found a purchaser in the person of Mr. Ilahkiss, who, in his turn, authorized Sharpe to employ men to pull down the house and sell the materials. this work Mr. Sharpe immediately com menced. Up to yesterday, the interior, since the com mencement of the dilapidation of the house, purasant to this Mr. Sharpe's order, has been occupied is a ler' es of occupations and expulsions from the premises of the workstien of Sharpe, and Mr. Smith and his a dherents; and on Th. rola) , an attack %vas flatiron Smith's people, then in possevsion of the house, which ended in much bloodshed and the infliction of several severe wounds. Sharpe's people, seven in number, were beaten off, and yesterday he and they were held to hail. I.)antNti RODDERT.—Yesterday Ilia Smith, a boy Flask.—No. your Worship. I will not be swore. I feel no inclination to injure the prisoner, nor do I see any necessity for my being sworn. I have never taken an oath in she coorie of my life, and 1 mu totally ipso. rant of the nature of the proceedings. Mr. CONANT Dow wished her to understand, that her refusal to be sworn would give rise to a suspicioa that she w an sof/sainted with the circumstance of rh o p i. soner s having a wife and family when she married hes; and if that could be proved, she would be liable to be se. verily punished. Flask.—My finsiily,Sir, le very respectable; sod I as prove thlt I did not know of the prisoner baring be ta married before, or that Mrs. Raynor existed at the time my :Berri age took place. Mr.. Ir. iyner here denied this, whit that Flask very well knew it ; it was told her at Lord Salmon's, bates fortunately she could produce no'fsrther evideote to that effect. The prisoner bad even supplied her with vim articles of apparel, &c. belonging to her (Mrs. Kayser), and marked in her name. Mr. CONANT said, that if Flask perverted in her refusal to be sworn, he woutd commit tier to prison. :Vie notwithstanding still refused to he so. Grist deposed, that on harlot en interview with Flask she acknowledged that she was married to the prisoner, and tits aware that Mrs. Rayner was briar. Oa hearing this, Flask reluctantly received tlie hook and on kissing it, stated that she had been married to the prisoner at St. George's Hanover-square, last Felwo are, in the preserve of two witnesses, straiten, who hid been married before them. The prisouer, who appeared rather tulles daring the examination, was delivered into the custody of Slander, llae gaoler, and remanded for a week.

Alloys*, Beg It appeared that by an ancient Charter, from which the Mint Liberty , tisrives its privileges., it is exempted from many local Acts to which the surrosading parishes are selojected. The inhabitants, concluding that this exemption ope rated more extensively than the Magistrates admitted, relived to comply with theparocliial regulation for light ing the streets, which are constantly left in darkens in coasequence of this prejudiie against the Statute that binds the neighbouring counties.

The seventeen defendants said, that they had followed the example of their neighbours, who were content to remain in a state of darkness, cod never fancied the light either of oil or gas to assist them in going home at night, col observed that they only wanted their liability to be decided upon to adopt the necessary plan. The Magistrates th io fined the 17 defendants 2s. rob, and costs, the Act being imperative: intimaing that, with respect to the other ishabitants, he would not prrss the immediate observance of the Statute, but hoped an arrangement would be 'auk amongst the inhabitants as speedily as possible to prereot &smother application.
