which their opponents immediately fled; one the police, Thomas Manning, fell—he fell be fore witness's party fired ; two men came up then; they made prisoners-of them ; witness.took Fitzgerald.—(Here the witness identified the prisoner, Michael Fitzgerald, as being the man, by laying the Sheriff's rod on his head.)—Fitz-.1 gerald was then dressed in a white shirt, which he wore over his other Clothes;. he (witness) took hold of the bridle of his horse; Mr. Hobart then came up, and two more men were taken. (Here the witness identified Halloran and Mo ran, as being the two other men who were then taken.)—Halloran had a white shirt on, and was mounted also; the third man was on foot ; a gun, a pistol, two pieces of scythes with handles, and 'a spit, were found.at the place. Cross-examined.—There were a..great many present ; can't say who took Halloran and Moran. Thomas, Doolan is chief constable of : Police ; was out with his party On the night of the 13th of August ; there were a great number of persons there, principally mounted ; witness saw them.; thinks there were about two hundred in all ; there could not be less than sixty or seventy mounted ; the cavalry and infantry Mixed toge ther ; a great many of them had white shirts Over their other dress ; witness's party called Out to them to surrender in the King's name, Saying, that they were the police, and that any man that should stir would be shot ; they then fired at witness's party, who returned their fire ; three were taken prisoners. Patrick Hobart ,was out with the police ; saw a great number of persons assembled at inche rourke ; thinks there could not have been less than about one hundred ; some wore white shirts over their other clothes; witness took Morgan ; Massey took a man in a white shirt. Here the case closed for the prosecution. Michael Ives examined for the defence. Wit ness lives at A skeaton ; remembers the night his brother's house was attacked ; overheard them passing by : one of them said," by -, if you let the rascal go, I'll blow your brains out ;" " who'" said somebody else, and the other answered, " Mick Moran." Patrick Sheehan remembers the attack made an Ives' house ; knows Moran ; he was in wit ness's house part of that night; he left it about ten o'clock ; he said he was going home ; he was perfectly sober then: Michael Dandell remembers the night of the at tack ; met Moran on his way home ; after wit ness parted with Moran, he saw some persons take hold of him ; they took Moran with them for cibly ; he was not willing to go ; they did not see witness, because he " disguised" himself be hind a stone wall! John Bateman knows Moran for twenty years ; 'le held land from vltness ; he is remarkably sober, honest, and industrious, and not addicted to going out at night. Edmond Hunt, Esq. is a Magistrate ; has known Moran for the last seventeen or eighteen rears ; there is no better man. The Rev. Michael M‘Donnel knows Halloran fifteen years; never heard any thing against him before this. .Mr. Edmond Hunt re-examined—Fitzgerald is a very good, honest man ; considers the three men as loyal men as any in the country. The case having closed here—Judge Moo at: recapitulated the evidence and charged the Jury, who retired for about forty minutes, and returned with a verdict, finding the prisoner, Moran, Not Guilty; and the prisoners,Halloran and Fitzgerald Guilty of the felony charged against them.. Judge MOORE then proceeded to pass sentence .crf death on the prisoners, Halloran and Fitzgerald. (Halloran said, " The Lord have mercy on Its."—Fitzgerald remained silent. Previous' to their being led out from the dock, Halloran shook hands mournfully with Moran, who was acquitted.) Thomas Kiely and Michael Kelly were then arraigned, for that they, on the night of the 16th of July, in the second year of the reign of his present Majesty, at a plate Itooska, in the , county of Limerick, did feloniously take two suns, the property of Christopher Spading. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. Previous to the calling of the first witness, the Solicitor-General addressed the following obser vations to the Jury : " Gentlemen of the Jury,—The prisoners at the bar are not charged with murder, but they are capitally indicted. The crime they are charg ed with is taking of arms ; and you see, Gentle men, by the last two trials, the use that is made of arms when taken. I shall make no further observations, Gentlemen ; I think it totally un necessary." Anne Sparling, is the widow of the late Clwjs topher Sparling ; remembers the day that the arms were taken from the house her husband 'was from home, he was at the bog ; two men called for arms ; witness went to get them ; one of the pen snapped a pistol at witness ; he said he would fc-kve her life if she would not give up the arms.; "witness ut her face to the wall ; the other man had the servant maid on her knees; witness heard a great clashing of arms ; witness told the men where arms were ; cue man then went up stairs, and came down with two pm ; they then went away. Mary Anne Grouse examined. Had been Mr. Sparling'S _servant in July ; remembers the. fel lows corning to the house fer the arms ; one of them exclaimed, 66 Shoot her !" Kelly clapped a pistol to her breast, and swore he. would shoot her ; he threw her on her knees, placed her head dovin, and put the pistol in her ear; whether it missed fire, or was cocked, cannot tell; then Kelly stepped over witness, and twice snapped a pistol at her mistress ; when the pistol missed fire the second time, her mistress exclaimed, 44 Don't kill me, and you shall get the arms;" Kelly went up and brought down two muskets ; witness then, from the window, saw Keily giv ing the two guns to two men that were outside ; there were Right men in all, inside and out; the witness had known both Kelly and Kelly before; knew one of them by sight, and swore positively as to, the identity of the two men, the prisoners at the bar. Mrs. Spading .recalled—Said, th4t . ne4ber her Our Foreign arrivals since Saturday have been .very numerous, consisting of Madrid Papers to the 11th inst., the Paris Journals to Thursday inclusive, Dutch, Flemish, and German Papers. —We have given extracts from some of them under the head of Foreign Intelligence. Letters by the Hamburgh Mail mention a re port prevalent in that City, which deserves notice less for its probability, than its singularity. It was said that Great Britain, Austria, and France, had resolved not to interfere at present between Itosia and Turkey, but had formed a treaty of ce, by which they had undertaken to co operate ia hecking any dangerous designs of Russia, shirald that Power be successful in its contest with the 7.eurks. Brussels Papers have arrived to the 18th inst. —An article from Le Thorn repeats the rumour of Bagdad having falltn into the hands of the Persians, the Prince of PEnsti having, it is said, entered the place at the head of ten thousand cavalry. The latest advices from Constantinople are to the 10th ultimo. They state that the Divan was in daily consultation as to the answer to be given to the Russian Ulti nzatuin. 'On the 9th ult. between three and four P.M. Captain FARMAK I, the comrade of JORDAKI, who was brought prisoner to Constantinople with Moldavians, was dragged to the quarter of the Franks in Pera, and there executed in the most cruel manner, amidst an innumerable mul titude of fanatic Turks, as it were, under the eyes of the Foreign Ambassadors, on the cross road between Pera and Galata. It was ob. served that the Porte had never before terri fied the Franks by such a cruel spectacle, and it was asserted to be by the express command of the SULTAN. It was reported that CHOW?, SCIIIIi PACIIA had been dismissed. The Su liotes were in possession of Arta, and, assisted by the Albanians, blockaded Vonitza and Pre veza, the surrender of which was daily looked for. Candia is said to be in a state of general insurrection; the Turks remained in possession, of only two fortresses. It asserted in ad vices from the Russian capital, that the Emperor ALEXANDER was about to send an'agent to the Persian Court on a special mission. A Mail has arrived from Holland with papers to the 19th inst. They state, that a loan had been opened by the Royal Chamber of Hanover, the subscribers to which are to have 4 per cent. for their money, payable half-yearly. The amount of the loan is not mentioned. There have been frequent communications during the past week between the Secretaries of State's Offices, the Treasury, and the Marquis of WELLESLEY, at Richmond, previous to his Excel lency's departure for Ireland, to take upon him the government of that country, as declared by the KING in Council, at the Court held at Brighton, on the 10th inst. , Dispatches were sent from the Secretaries of State's Offices to the Noble Marquis on Friday evening, which were supposed to be the last, previous to his departure. His Excellency was about to leave Richmond on Saturday for Dropmore, on a visit to Lord GREN VILLE ; from thence to proceed to Bath, on a visit to the Earl of LIVERPOOL; and after mak ing tome final official arrangements with the Noble Earl, he will proceed from Bath across the country by' Worcester and Shrewsbury, on his way to Ireland. - The Earl of LIVERPOOL is expected to leave Bath tire• latter end of this week. It is now said to be his MAJESTY'S intention to visit his Scottish dominions early in May next. It is rumoured that a change is about to take place in a confidential situation veal! I%IS MAJESTY.— (Morning Chronicle.) - ' Letters from Rome of the sth inst. state, that Lord Ilynos-:hati set out from thence for lta irenna, with Signora GutccioLl and the Count A letter from Corfu, dated Nov. 17, says, that Lord and Lady PossONBY arrived there on the 13th, from Otranto,. on board his Majesty's ship Courier. The 111 AI-oft of CORK has complied with a requisition for an application to Parliament to repeal the Window Tax. A Prussian Apothecary has addressed to a Russian Journal a Memorial, on a new and easy means of spreading terror among the Turks. He proposes to cover with phosphorus the (tresses of Devils, and to send several squadrons of Cossacs, clothed in this infernal costume, amongst the Mussulmans. The Apothecary requires no other reward for the communication of this project than to have the privilege of exclusivelli furnishing the phosphorus. - DUBLIN, DEC. 20.-The Right. Hon. HENRY GOULBURNE arrived in the packet which reached Howth this evening. CORK, DEc. 17.—The 33d regiment embarked at, Cove this morning for Jamaica. late Intsiiitart, nor herself, made any search after those men by whom they had he.en robbed," for fear would. not let them." Several witnesses attempted to establish an alibi, but Baron M'CLELLANn having summed up thy evidence, the Jury returned a-verilict of— Guilty against both prisoners. James Jordan was then placed at the bar. The prisoner was indicted for that he, on the 11th day of November, in the second year of the reign of his present Majesty, at G landuff, in the county of Limerick, did feloniously take from the person of George Sparling, two pistols, his pro perty.—The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Sparling was examined and supported the indictment, but bad some hesitation in saying decidedly that the prisoner at the bar was one of the . three men who attacked him ; he, however, said that he was certain the prisoner was one of them. The case closed, and nothing was elicited on the defence to shake the testi- mony ; but, just as the learned Judge was about tb charge the Jury, one of them begged to ask the witneas why it. was he did not give a di rect answer as to the prisoner's identity, and to do so then, if he could. The witness again paused for some time, and at length said, that his reason was "-for fear he should not be - certain"—the Solicitor-General having asked him had he doubt, and the witness having acquiesced, the Learned Judge immediately observed, that the prisoner should have the benefit of that doubt, and direct ed the Jury to acquit him. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2. _ _ This morning, the Judges . entered the County Court at nine o'clock, Baron M'Clelland having previously adjourned the City Commission until to-morrow morning. The, trials to be proceeded On this day are as follow :—Martin G rady, John Grady, John Kelly, and Edmund Fitzgerald, for taking arms from Mr. Edward Morgan ; Ti toothy_ Shea and Daniel Martin, for taking horses at night for Whiteboy purposes ; and Thomas Hinchy, for the murder of Denis Buckley. Trvekc o'clock.—Timothy Shea has just been capitally convicted, for appearing in arms at night. Two o'clock.—Daniel Martin was found guilty of a misdemeanor, for appearing with an unlaw ful assembly. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.) EXECUTION.—This day, at two o'clock, McNa mara and Molony were conveyed to Gallows green, where they suffered the awful sentence of the law, for the murder of Mrs. Torrance ; while the platform and usual apparatus were getting ready, both those unfortunate men, at the instance of the respectable Clergyman in !attendance ) addressed the immense populace n a few words, (who for that purpose were permitted to approach near the gallows), each acknowledging the justness of his sentence. M‘Namara mast emphatically called upon them " to take warning by his untimely fate." " I am, (said he), justly cut off in the mid dle of life. I, therefore, warn you to abstain from nightly meetings, and all other illegal acts ; the danger of which, I, now, when too late, clearly see. I fergive all the world, and am sin cerely sorry for the improper expressions which I used in the Court after my conviction." The Cart having been drawn off, they were launched into eternity, and after hanging the usual time, were cut down, and their bodies left at the coun ty of Limerick Hospital for dissection.

SOLEM QUIS DICE'RE FALSUM AIDEAT ? LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1821. THE THEATRE. Dituity-LANE.—As the present taste of the Public with respect to the Drama seems to be chiefly directed towards music and splendid scenery, the Manager of this Theatre gratified the town . with so magnificent a representation of the late CORONATION, that it was one of the most attractive spectacles ever exhibited on the atrical boards. The success was proportioned to the splendour and variety of the scenery, and the Manager was naturally induced to conceive that another Exhibition of a similar kind, placing the ACTION in Ireland, would re-animate public curiosity,' and become very attractive, if not equally so with the former grand display of Royal magnificence. An introduction was of course necessary, „and therefore a new piece was prepared, entitled Giovanni in Ireland. This piece was brought forward on Saturday last, and, considered as a mere introduction to various scenes in the Sister Island., with a view of the ceremony of an Installation of the Knights of the Order of ST. PATRICK, a more lenient recep tion might have been expected than it was its fate to experience. As a dramatic production this piece had little claim to public favour; but as introductory to a magnificent ceremony, and beautiful scenes of the Sister Island, it would have escaped critical severity if it had been a little more intelligible and shorter in duration. We shall not attempt to delineate the plot. It is sufficient to say that Don Giovanni retained all his gallantry in Ireland, and fell in love with every female he came near, whether Old or 'young. Madame VESTRJS assumed the part with her usual spirit, and the piece was indebted also to the humorous exertions of HARLEY, KNIGHT, Miss POVEY, Miss Cvni•rr, and the whole musical Corps of the Theatre. Previous to the play, there was a Dialogue between Mr. RussELL, as Stage Manager, and another Per former, and an Occasional Address followed. —The Dialogue was very roughly handled by the audience, but the firm and spirited manner with which Mr. COOPER delivered the Address excited well-merited applause. The play was frequently interrupted by mingled hisses and applause, and a similar reception at tended the spectacle throughout the representa tion of the Installation and its ceremonies, ex cept as related to the seenery, which was very well received. The piece was enlivened by songs, chiefly adapted to popular Irish tunes. The play-bills so fully announce the respective scenery, that we: . need not particularize them in this place. The Manager certainly deserves praise rather than blame, for having followed the pre vailing for magnificent processions, scenery, &c. &c. and if he shortens the introductory Drama, and can'contrive to impart more humour and spirit to it, the whole will probably be ren dered attractive, though it is by no means likely to be equally so with the preceding grandeur of the Coronation. On the conclusion, Mr. Russr.m. came forward in his Knightly costaine, to learn the decision of the audience, but could not obtain a hearing. lie appeared soon after, in the same attire, and being heard, signified that inaccu racies were unavoidably to be expected on the first representation of so complicated a produc tion, but that every effort would he made to re move all cause of complaint on its repetition.— The audience in general'seemed to be satisfied with this intimation. The hou:Le was crowded in all quarters. FASII lONA'ALE AunivuLs:—Captain and Lady Emilia Boyce, in Upper Wimpole-street ; Captain J.

Blackman, arrived from the Jamaica station, last flora the Havannah, 14th Nov. with 320,000 dollars. The Tribune frigate, Unit. ilioughby, C. B. bad returned to Port Royal from Porto Bello, last from Carthagena, bringing thence 45 of the inhabitants, who left the place on its falling into the hands of the Independants. The Spanish troops had been con veyed to Cuba. The Tu'oune had been rather sickly; about forty of the officers and men were at the linspital.—Lieutenant Murray died on the Bth of October, and Mr. Finucane, Assist ant-Surgeon (who had joined the ship only four days) on the 19th of October. The Nautilus, Captain Chapman, had sailed for Savariilla, to obtain the release of two vessels ; and the Survey ing-sloop Kangaroo, Mr. De Mayne, master, for Montego-Bay. The Salisbury packet had arrived at Port Royal, in thirty-four chip from Falmouth. • A negro woman, named Mary Good. sail, died in Spanish Town, 20th September, aged 120 years. The Raleigh sailed to-day for Chatham, to be paid off. On Tuesday arrived the Ontario sloop of war, Capt. Jed. rell Leigh, from Port Royal, Jamaica, and the Havannah, having left the former place on Oct. 24 , the latter November 24. She encountered gales of Wind from the Westward, almost without intermission, from the 6th instant, until her arrival. • —On the 7th in lat.. 44. 0. N. long. 40. 0. W. by the violence of the sea, she lost her quarter boats, hammock rails, boards, &c. had her sheet anchor lifted in-board ; the bolt to which • it had been secured, being drawn. The Master and three men were washed overboard, two of the latter of whom , were unfortunately drowned. As the night approached, and the wind and sea had increased to a tremendously dangerous height, and the ship having been all day steered before it tinder • bare poles, it became necessary to throw the guns overboard, to prevent her from foundering. In the very severe weather of • Monday last, she was embayed the greater part of the night between St. Alban's and St, Catherine's Points. She came into ' the Harbour to be paid off. She was three years on the Jamaica station, during which she lost only eight men—three by yellow fever, three from casual causes, and two drowned. in Havannati, we are intormect, things appeared in a vary gloomy way. Trade was perfectly at a stand, cads man being afraid to entrust his nearest relations with his sentiments; all appeared hushed to foreboding stillness. An insurrection of the Negroes was projected, headed by sonic priests; it was disco vered, however, early in November, just in time to prevent a recurrence of the St. Domingo seances of butchery. There are three political parties in Ilavannah—the Cubancse, who want independence and a republic. • the second are friends of the pre-' sent system ; the thiru are tor the old regime. These parties are kept in awe by the Mulattoes and Blacks, who form nearly two-thirds of the population. On Monday, his Majesty's store-ship Coromandel, Mr. Jas. Downie, Master, arrived from New South Wales, last from Mercury Bay, New Zealand, with a cargo of timber, having had a pleasant direct passage thence, round Cape orn, of only fifteen weeks, without a day's foul wino.
