I■ every place whets the load onstratioa dare be uttered, or where the half sappromed murmur can .till be heard, causes eoopled with the names of those that have caused her ruin, are the only sounds that meet the ear; and no man by whom these us crations are uttered, or murmurs breathed. can have a motive to be silent, but where the Judges of the land and the civil or military executioners are pre sent. The persons who are discontented, are those on whom misrule has heaped miseries more intolerable' than death. They cannot. therefore, be Went or unre sisting, but where superior physical force is actually employed in silencing or mowing them down. The moment the force is removed, they return to gratify revenge, and to foster hope which never within them. If Ireland could be misgoverned for ever, (that is, while England holds her present place among aations,) would the continuance under such eireamstaaces of the power of Ragland over that country be desirable? No moral man, no sound statesman would say so. If we could even draw wealth or support from Ireland in this way, humanity would reject advantages purchased by such indiction of misery, and mad policy would &ells, benefits so dearly bought. My Lord LONDONDKRIBT would mile at our view of the subject ; but my Lord LONDONDinn, has a mind so leveterately twisted, that so ensilm of real utility can find en ranee into his audentanding, and he has probably delighted mere le the cosecs: by which he hes governed Ireland, than le all the wealth and gratificationsiltose means have obtained for him. But our readers cosset be so besotted as to believe that Ireland can ever be happy herself, or produce any thing bet shame and loss to England, while governed as she has been for centuries. But it is whispered is some circles, that the Mar quess WCLLISLnT in seeking Of receivieg oMee, has rejected the trammels which he before disdained to bear. It is said, be goes to govern Inland on the dictates of his own stied, and we shall be glad to find it so, and to behold that shod undebased by the wants and suggestions of poverty. It will follow, that it will not be long before his present colleagues here will cease to dirkeo Me door of their Sovereign's closet.— A wise and equitable government in Ireland, will be the harbinger of a wise and coastitational government in Britain.

CLONWIL. Dec. 29.—.Tb0 --.4lw followiag le as ezteset of a letter frees a Death:sag at Thula. dated DOOM' ber U. 1821: _ Last night, two farm-bouses and an out-house es the lauds of Laharden, the estate of Lord Llaodaff, within one mile of this town, were maliciously set on fire and consumed, together with four cows which were stalled in the oat-hose. I went to the lends this morning, when the houses were still burning; the scene of this outrage was melancholy and revolting in the extreme, particularly the cut-house, in which lay the smoking bodies of the four cows ; the hors., legs, and tails of which were consumed by the fire; the carcasses were black, swollen, and burst open, with the intestines protruding and the skin burned _ _ .1 These cows were the property of Timothy Ryan, a farmer, who became tenant in November last, to Mr. Patrick Ryan, of Clouse!, merchant, for this farm. containing 30 acres—upon the same being sur rendered by the late tenests, who were largely in debted to Mr. Ryan for the rent of the premiss, but which they held at 545. au acre, and which were at November !sued to the present tenant. at 365. an acre. Timothy Ryan, the new tenant, as he this day informed me, intended removing his family to the new farm on Monday neat, and yesterday even. lag sat to it the four cows which were burned, with a qoantity of bay and straw, which, toge ther with the cows, were put into the out-house.— There were eight stacks of corn in the haggard ad- joining said house, of considerable value, and which were the property of the late tenant, but were at No -1 troths gives over to Mr. Patrick Ryan, the landlord, in part discharge of the arrears due by the late tenants I —and it is rather singular they remained uniejured. l A party of Captain Wilson's Police, on bearing of the outrage, this morning, at as early hoar, repaired to the spot and apprehended two men on suspicion, and on the return of one of the Policemen with a prisoner, he was assaulted by two drunken fellows, who threw stoats at him and cut him on the head; but, I am happy to say, the Policeman (Malone) who is remark able for his activity, succeeded in defending bint.eW single-handed, and lodging his prisoner is the Brides I well here; and, having procured a party returned he j I ptirsult and apprehended the two fellows who assaulted him, who are now in custody. • It is a circumstance of considerable satisfaction to the loyal and well disposed inhabitants of this town and its vicinity, that a few days ago, the Lord of the Manor, Earl Mandan: received from tiovernment the necessary instructions and authority for embody ing forthwilit, and placing on permanent duty in this town,* corps of yeomanry infantry of 100 privates, exclusive of °Ewers. His Lordship has placed this corps miller the command of Michael Lidwell, an of ficer of sxperience. and a Magistrate of this county. 1 undentaud the Major leas already selected his corps, two-thirds of whom consist of active young men, who have served in the line and seen service. At this pe riod this corps will materially um.* prompt the peace of this popaloos district, slim" is aid of the civil Aathorities. Lila rather a strange eiremostance, i we havW set bad for'ilstreaTisoatise pait sloe* sob dier quartered in this town, though we have barracks capable of accommodating several companies—and in which, until lately, we bare always had soldiers sta- tioned.'

Robert Crowe Fleming, of Nuffield, Esq., and An drew Kerns, of Ballyally, Esq., attended at the Chapel of Barefield, on Sunday last. These Gentlemen, in the most impressin manner, addressed the dock assembled there, upon the folly sad danger of these lawless associa tions, and the different distressing calamities that follow such proceedings—that as warm hearted friends they came amongst them to caution them against falling into the insidious .earn of Capt. Rock, or any of kis erde structive disciples ; to look to Limerick, for mple sake, and there they would see verified, what were communicating to them—no less than the h aging of 6 unfortunate men, and 7 more destined for similar fates in a short period, the eetire leaving about 31/ helpless children to lament their crimes ; and this would be their fate if they indulged in such lamentable useless folly. Every poor country fellow seemed grate ful for the advice given, and promised with one voice, to obey the command of the above-mentioned gentle men with truth and perseverance. The Rev. Mr. Kenny, P.P. delivered a very excellent discourse, on morality in renal, to his congregation at the same chapel, sad we have no doubt bet from the paternal care and attendee of this Rev. Gentleman, and from the purity of his example, that he will keep them in his owe even paths.—( Bans Chreeiek.) TO THR ROITOR Or TOO coax INCICANTILI CIIIIONICLO. Ste—lt being determined, at a Meeting of the Ma gistrates and Gendarme of this neighbourhood, held is this town a few days ago, to apply to Government to have the lasurrection Act extended to this district, and feeling, as I naturally oast, a particular interest not only in the peace and good order of my parishes, but also in the character of my parishioners. I consi der it due to them, to acquaint the public, through the medium of your respectable print, that no outrage of any kind has been committed in the Bandon parishes, nor indeed in any other part of this county, except that arms were taken, and perhaps is some instances were said to be taken in a certain neighbourhood at souse distance from this town. Is it reasonable then, that these peaceable and well conducted people should expect that they would am be subjected to** dreadful provisions of the Insurrection Act, and that no measures of a vexatious nature would be adopted with respect to them; measures which not being. called for by any misconduct on their pa would be cAlculated to irritate even the best disposed. I bate the honour to be, your obedient humble servant. D. 11 , Sminav, P. P. of Bandon. Bandon. Dec. 30,1821. .

[MOM TES BOSUN siparms PosT.] The "Head of the City" has issued a Proclamation, ordering the Inhabitants of Dublin to illuminate their booms this 'melee We have not seen the manifesto, and are therefore rather at a lees to know, whether it be the worthy Mayer's intention that the Citizens of Dublin should rejoice for the departure of Earl Talbot. (in causing which event to take place, he had himself, it is believed, a principal share;) or for the expected retire ment of the present Attorneystieneral; or for the arrival and swearing into office of the Marquess Wellesley ; or, though last sot least, for the promised liaronetage,l which is, it seems, by some sort of hocus pocus business, to fall to his own lot in these changes. The occasion, oue would think, has been suffered to pass by, of illuminating for the arrival of our present noble and popular Viceroy. The time fur this was, the night of his Excellency's arrival ; and, to be truly com plimentary, it should be spontaneous. We can scarcely suppose that our worthy and wise Lord Mayor would celebrate the DISMISSAL of Earl Talbot under the retype exlier circumstances of the case ; or that he would re joice for Mr. Sanrin's retirement from an office which he has filled with moderation and dignity. We come thou to the last of At above mentioned causes, and this may be the '! (tiptoe rindice nodus" in his Lordship's opinion. However the affair may be. the citizens are of but one opinion, namely. that his Lordship ►hould not have Jammed such a manifesto, not that they are un willing to pay the highest mark of respect to the new Viceroy. but because they dislike to obey the bidding of the iudividoal who has assumed an autho rity which is as unprecedented as it is unwarrantable, and lightly exercised. TIM LATE DR. BARRETT. The late Vice• Provost of frinity College, Dublin, Doc tor Barrett, although a man of the most profound learning, was, from his recluse and scholastic habits, as ignor4nt of the forms of society and of the habits of men as if be was not a human cteatnre. After years of seclusion within the walls of the "Trinity,' be was invited to some classical dinner, and by the greatest persuasion irent. When the hotel bad circilated a little, the Scholsre, like the Brothers in the Menne, did not forget their gallantry, and the " Ladies" were drank, each guest, profane and divine, toasting in rotation, the idol of his admiration. During this profligate deviation from Academical formalities, Doctor Barrett was greatly emb ed, and gaped as if they were performing some horrible incantation. At length the lot fell upon the little Doctor.— " Come Barrett," says some pious Father Paul, " give as a Belle ?" " A BILL?" said poor Barrett, vacantly, " a DILL ?" " yes ;" said another, " a belle The Doctor passed and pondered with a most logical look, whilst the sedge sal the wink went round. Pressed at length by the learned wags, for tits .11islrees, the anni •Clusgelps, with gravity that would have moved meocrie of marble to merriment, announced hie fair one : « Geutleuseo," said he, with wonderful precision, " 1 dolt% know a better lieu. than our orris. I'll give you •Tan CoLicae BILL." T. C. D. • This Bell rings morning and evening, for a quarter of an hour each time.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Bowe, accom palsied by Captain D'llste and the Hon. R. (lore, dined with the Rev. G. Burn, in Trinity College, on Wed nesday, and proceeded to Holkhare the next morning. where it is understood his Royal Highness will remain till the Fox Dinner at Norwich on the 24th. His Royal Highness is expected to honour Hudson Gur ney, Bsq. wide his comps) , while in Norwich; and if Sir Francis Burdett sbeeld be snSciently recovered from his late accident (having been thrown from his horse while hunting in Leicestershire), R. 11. Gurney, Esq. M.P. for Norwich, hopes to have him as his guest at Keswick. &mammon, Jaw. I.—This morning the new-year was proclaimed by the befl of St. Giles, with Its cus tomary precision, and the tidings were received by the assembled multitude with the loudest symptoms of joy and good humour. For several hours the Streets con. tinned thronged with passengers, who greeted each other with the salutation peculiar to the season. The greatest crowd was as usual in High-street and on the Bridges. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and High Constables, were in attendance at the Conn r, to be in readiness to order any measures whirls should appear necessary for the preservation of the peace; happily, however, it was only disturbed by noise and uproar, and that as outrageous and discordant as could have been wished, but we have not heard of any acci dent having oemirred. On Tuesday hi extensive seizure was made of fo reign silks, on board a vessel in Leith Roads, neatly rolled up in sheet lead cases, and concealed in casks of apples, imported from Hamburgh. Information, we understand, was . received at the Custom-house of the smuggling adventure before the arrival of the vessel. By the Agricultural Report of East Lothian for De. camber, we are agreeably surprised to learn that field labour is so far advanced there, that many farmers have nothing to plough except grim land. .1 good deal of wheat, it appear., has been sown in the course of the month, the weather haviug till the clay before the Report was written remained so favourable as to permit that or any other operation to be successfully executed. The first sown wheats look admirably well. At the date of the Report and the day before, more rain bad fallen than bad taken place at any one time for several months past. Letters from New York imitation that Mr. Wa:lack has had his leg amputated below the knee. Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's, dated Constantinople, Nov. 26 :—There has been some vary tempestuous and thick weather in the Black Sea, awl may vessels have Imo wrecked near the Bus plena. Amongst the number I hare to re the Sally, Airbags, oa shore, and totally lost, near Miclia, shout forty miles from the entrance—three of the crew drowsed ; the remainder, with the mister, have ar droll hemp together with a part of their stores. COURT OP KING'S BRNCH.—Tarr Dar. , . The Court was occupied this manlier until noon, in trying a matter of account before a Special Jury, which was likely to last a considerable time. The neat cause in the paper, the KING o. STA/CS MELD. is ae indictment, we understand, against the tias sight Company for a nuisance. The King o. Wearer and Co. of the JAR Bell paper,stood last upon the list of Special Juries for this day. This we believe is for one of a *cries of libels on her late much lamented Majesty Queen Caro line. It is probable this information will be tried the first thing to-morrow. CAUTION TO F:IIIIGRANTS. As many persons are from time to time induced by various circumstances to leave their native country and emigrate to some of our ; °lonia' settlements, it is highly necessary that they should be car.fnl retire ing the vessel in which they embark, aid that the re- spectability of the owners. together with the proba bility of the conditions stipu'ated being realised, should be ascertained. The events of the snhjoioed staletnent have suggested the propriety of the present coition. A considerable number of persons during the last summer engaged a passage on board the ship Hope, hound to Van Dieman's Land and New South Wales, with the intention of settling in these colonies. They converted the whole of their property into such ar ticles as were likely to be most useful in the various. I occupations to which their attention would be di rected. It was "stipulated in the written agreeusems between the passenger, and the commander of the 'ship Hope, that the ship should leave the port of London on or before the 20th of August, 1821, and that from that period till their arrival in Van D .• man's Land they should be furnished with roc Isions. The Hope, however, did not quit London till the 7th l nor - Gravesend till the 31st of October. Previously to the 17th of October no provisions what : ever were distributed to the passengers, and the supply I then granted was very inferior to the description of food which bad been stipulated. Many persons were actually on board, or had quitted their houses and occupations by the 20th of August, and, being prin cipally mechanics, were reduced to great difficulty by the unavoidable expenses thus unexpectedly incurred for the support of themselves and families from that time till the 17th of October. Their money being exhausted, they were compelled to dispose, to great disadvantage, of a part of the property purchased for the market to which they were going. Owing to a violent gale of wind, which contineed for three days, and placed these deceived people in imminent danger, the Hope was, on the sth of November, driven into the harbour of Ramsgate. where she was seized and detained by the Custom-house officer, for baying on board 50 passengers more than the number allowed by law. It was neat discovered that the vessel itself was totally unfit for service. sod the store of provisions was so entirely in sufficient for the persons on board, that the greater part was consumed before they bad remain ed five tenets at Ramsgate. The owners. after baring, by various representations, induced those unfortu nate persons to pay nearly 3000/. for their passage, were ted for debt ; both prior to. and after the arrival of the Hope at Ramsgate. The passengers were thus left without any means of proceeding to the land of their destination, or any prospect of soppart ing themselves in their own. His Majesty's Govern ment, taking into consideration the peculiar nature of the case, have since determined to grant a free passage to Van Dietnen's Land and New Sontls Wales to the whole of the passengers. We lately stated that requisitions were preparing to be presented to the Sheriffs of Norfolk and Suffolk. severally requesting them to convene county meetings, for the purpose of taking into consideration the de pressed and distressed state of agriculture. The Norfolk requisition was forwarded to the High Sheriff of that county on Saturday last, who It is expected will fix Saturday week for the required meeting. The intended Suffolk meeting will not take place. Its abandonment is thus explained in the Bury of St. Bl amed's paper : " We are sorry to announce the abandonment of the intention to call a meeting in Suffolk for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on the one great subject of pub lic distress. The failure of the design is attributed to a correspondence which has taken place between some leading men in the county. Of the nature of that cor respondence we are not apprised, nor can we conceive any subject of private communication which could he au adequate reason for relinquishing so necessary a pro ceeding. Personal convenience, we are satisfied, would opeVate with none at the present period. and poll tical feeling we should have thought out of the ques tion. But it will be seen in a letter of Earl Stanhope. which we have inserted, bow many reasons have been devised in another county for refusing to unite in calling for relief, and we do not think it imprpbable tkat some of them may have operated bete.
