Sc.:. the Bishop of Los:loom, &C. The Commons h av ing returneJ to their House, re-eleded Mr. As soy their Speaker, as we anticipated, yesterday.— Of this proceeding, a full account is given in our preceding columns. A private letter from Dublin, dated Dnernber 11, says:—" The Special Commission has quietly proceeded to its destination ; the gaol of S*go has, been delivered; and, on the third day of its sitting, one of those misgui led men called " Threshers" teas found guilty. As the Calendar contained the names of fifteen Prisoners, all charged with similar offences, a single conviCtion is by no means satisfac tory t• a certain party in this country, who loudly insist, that the other fourteen were equally crimi nal; and that their acquittal proceeded from the pu sllnnimity of the Juries, and the intimidation of the witnesses. What truth there may be in these sonjeaures, I am not competent to decide, but lam very certain the remedy which they propose, Mar tial Law," will not be resorted to by the present Go vernment, until the last extremity. Mayo having been the cradle of these disturbances, the prisoners for trial in Castlebar gaol are, as might be expefiled, very numerous; they amount nearly to Cony ; but, on the other hand, I have the satisfaaion of assuring you, on the best authority, that there are not more than ten in the gaol of Longford, three in the gr.! of Leitrim, and four in the gaol of Carrick-on-Shannon, charged with offences of the nature alluded ta ; in faa, the County Cavan has been fer the last sx weeks in a state of perfea tranquillity, and in the other two counties, Leitrim and Longford, the spirit of insubordination to the laws has nearly subsided. About a foriaight since, a party of the Cavan Mi litia, quartered at Grattan:, came up with a party of 7/snshers, not exceeding fifty in number. I cannot say wheth-r or not the Riot Aft was read; but, as they did not disperse, when commanded to do so, the soldiers were ordered to fire over t! eir heads. It was dark; perhaps too the ground was unequal ; probably it was owing to one or both of these cir cumstances, that, instead of firing over them, they fired amongst them. One of the in,urpnts was killed, and another wounded ; the rest tied with precipitation. It is said there was another party of insurgents, anvointing neatly to one thousand, posted at some distance ; but this, I believe, bas not been ascettained. The Cavan Militia were shortly after ordered to change quarters, and marched to Athlone. In Tipperary and Limerick some outrages have lately been committed s similar violence' hive, however, I believe, tact' place io these distrids, more or less frequently, within the last eighteen months or two years; there happily adthing of system or combination prevails ; they are the distinct ads of a few miscreants totally un• conneited with each other, and tho,e of the very lowvst class, who have for their ohj.qi either to restrain the landlord from selling hi, lands to any bu: the occupying tenant, or to prevent the hiring or entertainment of ai labourer or servant who is not a native of these counties respedively. Not nil:standing the asped of affairs is such as I :lave described it, Government have adopted measures of the most guarded vigilance. •They have called rut the entire yeomanry of the province of Connaught, and have given the Generals of districts a diicreticn ary power to employ as much pf that force in the other parts of the country at they miy judge expe dient. Tor the last fortnight, a Council has been held alMost every other day, end a picket guard of 100 horse patrole the environs of this city every night. This latter circumstance has excited some surprise tinyangst those who witness the pleseat unprece dented tranquillity of this city, a tranquillity so marked, ss to have attracted the notice of Mr. Justice Dar, in his charge to the present Commission Grand Jury. Upon the whole, I will venture to say, in no instance have those wretched men (the 74,vilrers) ventured to oppose the army, in no in stance have they ethibited a condua tain:ed by either politics or religion. Poor, ignorant, and, as the lower Irish in general ate, • of Trick passions, they have embraced what appeared to tiern the. I ,, ailiest means of getting rid of that locust, the Tythe Pralcar, and of the incrcaling weight of their own Clergy." His Maiasev is expeded in town to-morrow.
