On Wedtresday rbe Special Commission directed to be holden for the Cot:nty and City of Lime rick, was opened before theaight lion. STANDISH O'GRADY, • Lord Chief Baron.

The attention of Government to the we:l-being of this County, 'and 'of the County of this city ; has been eininently merirorious, 'on the 311 of November our winter approaches tinder ausp;ces very different from these which impended on the Ist of Otiober. Early' in that month, Serjeants Johnson and Joy were sent down, 'to direct , con troul, and preside over the application of the in surrection Act, and from that 1110nlent until this, we have not heard of an outrage in the count/. We are not among these who are willing tight- , ly to abandon any of the great privileges of our constitution ibut we declare, before G6d and flniti, that we consider the tribunal, under the Ili -inrt,:ctiOn Act, as now,constitnted in Our county and city, to be espial in all respects ; and in many superior to the .trial by Jury. But not limiting themselves to the prevention or chastisement of offences, within► the purview of the Insurrection Act, Government. has sent down a Commission of General Gaol Delivery, extend:ng to all felonies, that punishment might follotv as speedily as possible tepou the comuns- S;on of offences, which has been always found in this couatry the most certain means of vertu long, long d.iy seems always to have been the hope, .-arid a short one the terror of a malefactor. But Government appears not to have been lest sedulous in doing the thing, than in diming the instruments by which it had been effected. First, upon the special commission appears the name of the Right Hon. Standish O'Grady, Lord Chief Baron of his Majesty's Court of Exchequtr,. lie , - yond question (for we have ineasnred them all), the ablest Judge upon the bench, for quickness of perception, diligence of duty, consummate knowledge of the htiman character in all its gra . dations, that invaluable quality of taking himself the nearest road to his object, and of retrneh ing in others their wasteful redundancies ;—in many respects similar, in sonic certainly infe rior, and in some, as certainly superior, to the late Earl of Clare. But whether the qua lities of those two extraordinary men, be rela tive or positive, they have illustrated the county of Limerick, the county of their birth, beyond any other County in the Kingdom—We have seen every great man who has sa't Orion his Majesty's 'Benches in. both countries for the thes,e List thirty years, and except, perhaps, Judge we ne ver saw a Judge of the same qualities with either of them in point of efficacy and energy. So far as these commentaries are addressed to the grave, they are addressed to a quatter that seldom elicits the pen of prostitution, but so far as they are ad dresed to a living object, they gill have etftet,for the whole Country knows that they proceed not from the pen of a prostitute. United in the Commission with the thief )3as ron, appears the name of Set jeant Johnsbn. If a man capable of sagacious observation, and stand ing in the hall of the Fotir Cubits, Was asked what man in the hall has most the appearance of a Law)er, he would answer, Set-jean( Johnson— And the appearance is the just and legal represtr tative of its constitue it. For twenty years la bouring through the duties of -a contentious pro-- fession, we do not know that he made ; or that he has an enemy : with that knowledge of his pros fess ion , which nothing but a sound natural ment and extensive practice can bestow—with a tone of eloquence, peenharly•forensic, and a int. dulation, Which, though it may please the ear, will never affect the mind, but when, as in his case, the heart is at the bottom . of the organ—he has risen, is rising, and no man who loves his country will repine at his exaltation. A man with a pen in his hand, and not entirely' deficient in capacity ; %viten deSignatiiig the features of the present Commission, will pause fur a while to collect himself ; and 'loll hi his scattered senses ; before he mention's the 'frame of the Solieitor=Ge neral-4or it is not easy t o say w h ere to b eg i n, or • When to conclude— Eleyated station is n, e 'roud thing; the diguity of science is 4 guhstan6al thing. ; a fancy fertile of ori ., • ginal tombitl;tions•is a splendid thing, !:, - tit there :s somet'ain g in the nom himself, exclusive of all thqse more captivating than those. attributes put together. We speak of him in his social circle; wherein every thing that is delightful in the pri vate individual, we forget every thing that is daz . - in the public character--.--When stating the Case of the CroWn the first tiayof the Con mission egaint the prisoner at the bar, we lamented that this ignorant creature was incapable of the con solation of Lord Lovat—" Such are the graces of his. elocution,'' said Lord Loves, " that l'beard him with delight, though powerfully pleading against my life." This sentiment fie applied to. Mr.. Murray then Solicitor-General, afterwards Earl of 'Mansfield, but not having seen that great man till in his de cline, we cannot, Iron) ourselves, assert that Etna logy of talents, which every thing we lrnve read and every thing we have heard, induces us to sup , - pose subsisting between what Mr. Murray was in his_ best day, and what Mr. Bustle is at this 1110-. ment. Mr. Serjeant.Joy was an eleve of the Northern Circuit, in our time die best nursery:of die law ‘vbicli-this country afforded, and Iris acquirements vindicate the qualities of his seminary; his advance ment was regular, progressive and certain ; the effect of - diligence and the effect of capacity. With a good cause irresistable, with an indifferent one not easily resisted, and even with a bad one not yielding without every exertion consistent with the Errnnt” of a tw;n, the researches of a lawyer, tt() tne taatine - rs'ol . il - g . eiitieri•.ati—lie , too has risen, and is rising with (Ile voice of his pr()fes sion, t h e hest And most unerring standard of prb fessionni merit. Such are the features with which the present Commission has been. adorticd and diguified, and such is the attentoo which the Irish Goecrnftlent IlaS . paid to the con&rns, unit to the peace of the . rounty and city of Linieriek::".

HIGHWAY ROBBERY. -0 0 • Monday se'linight; A little after eight O'clock in the evening, a 'nose •daring attack was made on Mr. GEORGE - ANGUS, •of Mickley, carrier ; as he was returning front the Cow-hill fair. When he had arrived within fifty yards of the houses at the bead of -G:diowgate, in this town, he was turionsly assailed by three fellows, who first dismounted him, and then. jumping upon him with .their feet and kin es, wounded him desperately • io the face and head, brake his col:at:bone, uisineated his shoulder, and robbed him 'of his *purse, containing 36. 18s. Bd. The cries of the poor man---" Murder ! Don't kill me!" etc, were dis tinctly heard in the neighbourhood ; and some young men; who happened to be standing in the street, instantly ran to the spot. The young man who got first up, seeing a person ntl assisting the unfortunate man, concluded he had been brought - Thitherfrom the same motive as himself ; but on Angus stating that he bad bet-tt robbed, the stranger immediately made off. The yuting man followed and seized him ; but the fe:. low being a powerful man, he would have soots extricated himself, had there not been more as sistatite at baud. During the scuffle he was observed to throw something front him ; and on search being made, the purse of Angus was found of the side of the road, but emptied of its contents. The prisoner was scion discovered to be a well-known character here and at Glasgow, named Jas. O'Neit, and helms since been committed for trial, at the next Assizes.
