Three persons, capitally ii.clicted as Itibhonrnen, pleaded Guilty, on Wednesday, it the Assizes of Galway. A person 'tamed Connolly pleaded Not Guilty, but was convicted of a capita! felnny. Two convictions also took' place for misdemeanours ; and one pleaded Guilty to a transportable felony for lire. Ott Sooday night last, about 12 o'clock, the house of ?]r. Jeates Drily, of county of Galway, on the borders of the county - Of Ros common, was a tacked by A party of Ribbontnen, amounting to 30 or 40, with ,guns, pitchforks, • and badges. Kelly's house ha 3 been broken into twice he!ore by a banditti under this name, in search of arms, and, la• was resolved on this OCed -I,loil, whatever might be the result, to resist their enhance. Tee 'loot of the house, according to the usual plan of these ruffians, was attempted to be forced, but it was so well secured. as to - teeist the effort. Kelly hearing the violeoce with which the house was assailed, roneired from a window what wee the (Huse of the attack, and was informed by the Ribbonnten, that they wanted h;s Arms, in seizing which, having failed twice before, they would mo•t now be disappointed. tie iutormed them that his arms had been some time since delivered up to a Magis;rate. This did not, how ever, satisfy the banditti, who resumed their ex ertions to fence the door with large stones, which they in part accomplished. In the mean time, Kelly, and, a trusty servant buy, Irad placed • themselves on each side of the door, armed with pitchforks, and became visible to those who made the first attempt to enter through the almost de molished door. Upon seeing this preparation to defend the passage, the ruffians retired, and fired 6 or 7 shots, fortunately seldom; effect, through the dour. The shots so alarmed Kelly's wife and children, that they screamed loudly, which, the banditti supposing to result from their having wounded those who defended the house, said, " Now we may come its." The first who entered the shattered door-way, however, found his mistake, by receiving the pitchforks of Kelly and his buy in his neck—he fell back dis abled, and was succeeded by two others, who en deavoured to enter together. The pitchforks pe netrated those assailants also, and they retiree! wounded. The service bring so dangerous, there were no fresh volunteers to undertake it, and the dastardly assassins moved off a few paces from the front of the house, and fired a number of shots at it ; they also thew several large statics at the doors and windows, and their, d& l eated • by the bravery of a man and a boy, took their departure, to look tor a more accessible object of pluoder.--+ Infinite credit is due to Mr. Kelly and his servant, for so gallantly resisting and beating oil so shoos a body of those sanguinary tnaramlets.

They broke some of the windows, and tired several shots into the hotise. Cummius told-them horn within, that he and hia men were well armed and determined, and would certainly kill the first hieraon that might enter.

Alter hanging the usual time, their bodies were cut down, and Toed and Francis Doyle were brought out, and suffered with similar fortitude, and made the seine declarations of innocence as the former. They were attended in their last moments by a Catholic Clergyman, whose name we were un able to learn. Daniel M'Couvill and John Alin den were respites!, and it is supposed wiil be trans sported tor lite.

It is most po sit i ce ly averred, that this nnfort unate young officer's words were mistaketS, /sod that the l'olicetnao was only' desired by him to make the man stand back: The wounded man has recovered ; and it is to be hoped that Mr. Middleton's unhappy case will meet with a humane consideration from the mild and paternal Government of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.
