I R ETIA N D. • - 'ffronalhe Dublin Correspondent, Nov. 28 .] 1 • • ANOTHER. HotintuLE I\l'unnr.a.-2--Letters re • • •ceived , •in town this day from the neighbourhood 'cif Kanturk , mention the assassination of Captain • .WATurts, who lived near the town of Newmarket. • • This , dreadful deed was perpetrated on Sunday night last, and the letter which - communicates ~the • intellivence was written the folloWing day. As .the circumstance has been communicated just as • -ice were preparing for going to Press, we have no time for stating any'of the- particulars. . , report has .gained ground in town, that Captain Wallace, of, Drishane Castle,, in I -the .neiglibourhood of Kanturk, had been attacked • •-.pu Sunday night—that he made a most gallant • defence, and had repulsed his. assailants, after . having received a wound in the . contest. All we `haveto say at present is, that, we have seen a • letter, written.from a place within five, miles of • • Captaiu - residence, on, -Monday last, • m hid) does not' authenticate theCircurnstance.— Probably, the assassination of Captain . Waters may have caused a confusion of names and cif.. curnstances—at least, we must doubt the report concerning Captain Wallace. Of the other hor rible'occurrence there is uo doubt. ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION. — On last Sunday evening, as Mr. Wigglesworth, of Lisnadurnagh Mills, situate within two miles of Roscommon, was returning home, a shot was fired at him, by a pe-rion who was concealed behind a hedge.— Fortunately the ball only tore a part of the gentleman's coat, without touching his body. As the mare on which he rode started at the . shot; he was thrown on the ground, and before he could rise five of the assassins ushed on him, for the purpose of instantly dispatching him. Ile immediately cried out for mercy, and as soon as the villains .discovered by his voice_ that they had mistaken the object of their vengeance, they allowed him to depart without any injury.— There is a gentleman in Iheneighbourhood of the place, who strongly resembles Mr. Wiggles worth in dress and size, and who rides a horse of the same colour as Mr. Wigglesworth's mare, and as he is obnoxious to the peasantry, probably he was the intended victim. Purlieu[Uri of the Murder and Robbery of Major Cows, of Ke . nt Lodge. TRALEE, Nov.‘24.—This.atrocious deed, which fixes - another foul blot on the character of our conntry,!was perpetrated, yesterday morning, by a gang of villains, with the sole design, it ap pears, of robbing this Gentleman of what money he had in his house. Three ruffians entered the house about three o'clock in the morning, one of them with his face disguised. They appeared to have spent considerable time in the house, ar ranging their .proceedings, before they entered Major Collis's bed-room, and to Inlve been tho roughly informed as to the interior of the house; and no 'doubt.. earl exist as to their having gained acce ,, s by the agency. of some person within.— They got admittance through a window, the shut ter Of; which bad been well bolted the evening before, and could only have been taken down by a persowinSide the house, yet it was removed and laid aside, without any noise or violence whatever. Having done this, they threw hay into the room, to prevent noise in tbeir first pro ceedings. They afterwards went to the parlour; here the candles remained which had been burn ing the evening before, and having stuck some • pieces to the walls to, give light in the passages, 'they proceeded up stairs, taking a candle with their). • They, gently opened the door of the room on the right hand, 'where the maid-servants lay, whom they charged at their peril to i make no liaise, Major Collis's room was on their left band, of which they appear to have-been aware, without having made any inquiry of the maids. They proceeded so far with great secrecy, until Mrs. Collis, hearing some slight noise at - the stair-head, inquired who was outside ; one of the • ruffians immediately broke in the bed-room door w Rh a blow of a sledge, firing into the room at the same Moment, and callinglaut Money." Two of them rushed to the press, where 'Major C. had a large sum of money, while he, with instinctiv courage, leaped from his bed, - and made an effort to , seize the poker at the fire-place ; one of the ruffians immediately struck him on the head with • some iron instrument, • which fractured his skull, • isThile another fired at him as he fell, and lodged thirteen slugs in his body. They then got possession of a sum of money amounting, it is supposed, to -200/. in cash and bank notes, and having obliged Mrs. Collis to open all the drawers in the-room, they retired, threatening her at her • peril not to stir for two hours. At the expiration • of an hour and a half; supposing they might haVe left the house; Mrs. Collis rang the bell, which was answered by a shot from below, intimating that they had not yet departed. The servant maids, however, leaped out of a window at the back of. the house, and. as soon as their fears • would allow them, went and called on some • gentlemen in the neighbourhood, at whose ap proach, it is likely, the robbers fled, leaving the • sledge behind them. Two servant men, who glept in an out house communicating with the - main house, were called up by the Gentlemen who arrived, but they declared their. perfect ignorance . of any thing having occurred, having been asleep during the -entire of this horrible transaction. A further sum of money was left undisturbed by the robbers, although imme diately near the window by which they entered, but it appears that Major Collis had not been in the habit lately of leaving any money in this place, of which they were probably . aware.—We have no doubt but a diligent pursuit,•on the. part of the Magistrates and Gen= tlemen of the county, will speedily lead to they of, the mUrderers. They were observed; to take the road to this town in their flight ; and six or seven men were observed coming in here yesterday morning, at an early hour, from that neighbourhood.—Major Collis survived for about twelve hours, in great agony, when death put a period to his sufferings.—Major Collis served a considerable number of. years in the army with !distinguished bravery, and was latterly in the. command of the P2th Veteran Battalion, until they were disembodied, when 'he, of course, re tired on full pay, possessing also a pension for the loss of his. left hand, amounting, altogether,. to an annual income from his country of about 5001. He made it his study, by many kind offices, to prove serviceable to the labouring poor in his neighbourhood. He was strictly just, a sincere friend, and to his family most strongly and affectionately attached. ~. A meeting of the Magistrates and Gentlemen of the County of Kerry is fixed for Wednes, day (this day), at one : o'clock, at the Court- House in Tralee, for the purpose of considering and adopting the most effectual measures forthe discovery of the ruffians concerned in the shock.. ing murder of Major Collis; . and, also, for adopting any measures which may be necessary for the preservation of this county. The requi sition for the Meeting is signed by the following Gentlemen James Crosbie, Governor ; John Bateman, William Pon sonby; Richard Chute, Robert Day, William Bateman, James Magill, John Collis, William Hilliard, John James Hickson, Thomas Day, and James P. Chute, Clerk. We have heard that several strangers have lately taken up their abode in this town. We. hope that some plan, for inquiring into this mat ter, will be adopted at the County Meeting. On Tuesday night last, the High Sheriff, Ge neral Barry, with a party of the Rifle Brigade, arrived at Kildorrery,, in, the act of patrolling that part of the county, and had they been in half 4.11 hour sooner, they would have come up with a gang of miscreants, supposed about 150 in num ber, most of them armed, as they passed through the town huzzaing and shouting in 'the most daring manner.—(Cork Intelligencer.) On the 23d instant, Alexander Clemdining, Esq. committed to the county gaol in this town, Michael Rush, who is charged on oath with having tarried messages and procured divers per sons to attend an illegal meeting of Ribbonmen ; also Farrel Ileyland, charged with having been sworn a Ribbonman, and with having attended a similar meeting, and James Farraher, charged with the last mentioned offence.---(Mayo Con- The Coroner's Inquest, held by Joseph Bourke, Esq. on the body of the man who was shot by Mr. John Howis, of the Menagerie, at New port, have pronounced a verdict of " Wilful Murder," against that person. It is the inten tion, we, understand, of several Magistrates, to forward a Memorial forthwith, to the Judges of the Court of King's Bench, , requesting that their Lordships may be pleased to order, that bail may be taken for the appearance of Mr. Howls, to abide his trial at the next Assizes of this County. Connell O'Donel, Esq. of Sea mount, who appears (in conjunction with ft. W. M'llree, Esq.) to have acted with much coolness and propriety in the investigation of this unfor tunate business, has considered it his duty to deprive the person, in whose house the country people were drinking at the unseasonable hour of, night, when the affray which produced this ho micide occurred, of his licence for selling spirits. • On Friday and Saturday last, John .Parsons, Esq. one of the Commissioners under the Insol vent Act, held a Court in this town. Eight deb tors only bad duly lodged their ,petitions and performed the other requisites. The others, who are confined for very small sums, were li terally too poor to take the benefit of this hu mane Act. Seven out of the eight which were brought up, were discharged.—(lbid.) The LondonderrN Journal, after detailing a number of petty robberies, says—" Our fellow citizens will need to exercise all their vigilance to protect themselves from the light-fingered tribe, with which this city is now i:fested, and who are carrying on their operations on so exten sive a scale. A little salutary castigation at a cart tail would go further in deterring from such practices than any preventive we are acquainted with." (.'Boat THE DUBLIN EVENING POST, OF TUESDAY.) The following communication has been 'left at our Office by a' Gentleman who was an eye wit ness of the transaction, which took place on Fri day night last : . " To the EDITOR of the DUBLIN ETENING. 1 P 621 OST. • :; ' Seart,.Nov. 44 SlR—Amidst the many attacks which have been made upon the houses of private gentlemen in the county of. Limerick, none have been more serious, more determined, or more repeated, than those upon Scart, near Itathkeale,.the seat-of JAS. CONDON, Esq. At the commencement of these disturbances, which have risen to such a height in this distracted country, threatening placards were nightly posted on the hall door, warning 'Mr. Condon not to retain in his house certain indi viduals whom they named, to turn out 'sundry tenants, and to neither demand or receive either rents or tithe. As Mr. Condon was bail to the Rector for the Parishioners, to the amount of 5001. according to an assessment which was agreed to by all parties, he very properly took no notice of them, when almost immediately be received several letters through the, Rathkeale Post-office, of which the two following are literal copies " CONDON, let me find no more of your tyronizing over poor people, or else you will sorely repent it, and leave poor people their potatoes and turf, for the poor have troubles anough over thim besides you and every other vagabond of but must trash their your kind troubling thirn. But by the Great God if you do not you timely notice to you will mark the consequence of it, and again poor tinnants will not get liberty,for to make moray, littil corn and nothing for it, but I give loock into the case. SO be said by the word of die Captain, John Rock. Dated this 6th of October,, 1821.' ‘c Si fter the most minute inquiries and strict investiga tion„l have learned from the most unquestionable authorities, who those persons are (or rather villains) that have hitherto been doing your depredations, and taking away your substance. They are, as 1 am iriforined,-:sOnie of the tenantry of llttgh Massey, Esq. living at the' other of your bounds, And of whom, as I can learn youhave been partly aware, they are that idle, disorderly, and plundering set (the Husse.ts) •Whose daily employment is to be devising wickeilness and other illegal 'plans ; when-they are not otherwise employed, they are wander ing and strolling ahout hedges and ditches. Now, in order to expel such a plundering set; out of your neighbourhocid, you will be good enough to write—to Mr. Hugh Massey Stovelle, respecting the same, to choose a proper' and well conducted family as he shall think proper, which will not only secure yciur, future safety and trouble, but also produce peace -and good-will towards you, as, in all probability, others have been innocently . suspected. By your so doing, you will much oblige, • " Your hinnble Servant, and true Friend - , • " Captain JOHN ROCK.' " " c P.S. I conjure you as you, tender yoUr life to be as cir cumspect in this as ever you were about any thing, and not to let any mortal know any thing of it, and in your letter to AIL assey, you are not to mention any thing of this, except their . proceedings. I have been also. informed that you have. r eceived letters of a 'subsequent date,. respecting the setting of your grounds and rents. request . you will not notice any such in future but such as are signed.' " Still Mr. Condon acted. in A resoltite de termined manner, and these efforts accordingly neither changed his domestics or condtict, the consequence of which: was four formidabl e attacks being made upon . Scart, at different periods, by an immense host of armed ruffians, who robbed the house of ell the fire-arms, threatened and offered to 'punish an old relation and inmate pf Mr. Condon's, .if lie did not mediately flepart .and- reitirn no more (which, in effect, he 'was obliged to obey); and, lastly, they flogged a female menial servant in a most brutal manner, ,by which her life was in immi nent danger. They likewise visited several of his tenants, forced some of them.to leave their dwellings, and actually pulled one house..down, and noticed Mr. Condon on no account to rebuild it. Things remained in this state for some tine : he was forced to comply with most of their arro gant orders`and considered himself safe from further attacks, when, at the hoar of half-past eight o'cloclil„ on the. evening of Friday last, 'I 3d November, while the family were sitting in the parlour, the cry of Captain Rock's banditti electrified all. Mr. Condon proceeded to the back door of the house, from which the noise proceeded, but before he reached it, four ruffians had entered and forced the man servant into a small room, and placed a guard over the door.— They then demanded two bills,w hich they alleged he had received for:potatoes, from persons called Sheehy, and threatened, in case of his not instantly delivering them, to shoot him on the spot. He said he did not immediately recollect having such . _ bills in his possession; upon which they forced him to deliver all he had, to the amount of 450/. After carefully examining all, they returned him two, which he Shad received from some Yeoman settlers, and told him to make what use•he pleas ed of them, but the rest they would take with them, and those they did not want they would leave at a house they bid him name ; they then demanded three so't 4 eceigns, to repair their arms. He offered some silver ; that, they said, was of no use : he then handed them a sovereign, which, he said', was all he'had ; they deliberated wl►e ther to take the silver or not, which was carried in the affirmative. Two of those ruffians were disguised with white linen cowls, which had holes for them to see through ; they had all leather hairy caps, short frize coats ; one had a blunder buss, which was constantly close to Mr. Condon's head ; and another a musket; the other two had large bludgeons—they all disguised - their voices, and performed the robbery in the most cool, dar ing manner possible—they were repeatedly com manded to hurry from a voice without." OUTRAGE IN CHARLES-STREET. MAR on ou rf-S TREE T. -- e Yesterday Mary Haggerty, Maria Angel, and Thomas Burnell, were placed at the htir and underwent another examination before G.• B. MAI NWARING, Esq., the sitting Magistrate, on the charge of throwing Thayers out of the window of a house in Charles-street, Drury-lane:— Considerable light has been thrown on this infamous attack by the confession of Hannah Pethick, one of the persons charged, and who is admitted as King's evidence, and by the evidence of a woman who lodged in the house. - James Thaversdeseribed the - attack made on him in the same manner and terms as we have already laid it before the public, adding, that he conceives he saw Angel in the room when he was attacked by a man, whom she assisted. Hannah Pethick was sworn, and =described , the bringing of Thayers into the house, and subsequently the quarrel about he change which Was given him. She said that in consequence of striking Angel he was attacked- by Burnell, went up stairs'and fought him in the room. - Burnell was assisted by Maria Angel, and the uproar being very great, i:he went to call the watch, and on her return with him the roan was thrown from the window. The patrole and' watchman of Charles-street swore, that when 1 they were going towards' the house. with Pethick, the man had fallen from the window, and • declared it impossible that she could have pushed him out. Sarah Brown stated, that on her returning to her lodgings in the house, where- the outrage took - place, she was informed of the circumstance, and also heard that it was out of her roOnt. window the man -.fell, he having burst open the door, and rushing to the window, opened it,• and flung himself out. This she conceived impossible, as' the door was fastened, and her room bore all the appearance of a long and des perate conflict. On her,-going into the prisoner Haggerty's room (this woman leas the keeper of the house) she saw Burnell moving about apparently very much agitated. Angel appeared alsO to be very much agitated. A, person suddenly came into the room, and said '"_Tlie man is Alead." _ Burnell then ran up stairs,...changed.his.clothes, came down-, and fled- out of the house, seemingly trembling very much. Angel and the woman Haggerty were shortly afterwards taken to the watch-house.--- Maria Angel wore the same dress as Pethick, and is of the same stature. • • :- Mr. Price was called, and positively maintained that Pethick was in the room when the man fell, although frequently assured that the contrary had been proved. , Scott, of Bow-street, said ? that on his apprenheding ißurtiell he was disguised, and on being asked why he.disguisedhimself, hesaid, "- To avoid the traps:" (offl - .tars). The Magistrate called upon the prisoners fo their defence. Haggerty denied .having any participation in the attack on Thayers ; Angel said she was not in the ,room ; and Burnell said the man fell out of the window, being drunk. Mr. MAiNtwAniNc then said,. that part of this intricate busi ness having been brought to light, and evidence hkving been ad , duced to prove a case sufficient to Warranthis committing Burnell and Maria Angel for trial, he should send them to Newgate, and: they would shortly have the opp ortunit y of tell ing their stories to a jury, who would give .th e m their opinion as t o it s t ru th. Sufficient evidence not having been produced against the woman Haggerty, she should be remanded. Burnell and Maria Angel were then committed to Newgate for trial and Mary Haggerty was remanded. Pethick was or. tiered to' be detained. CARROLL'S LUCK STILL CONTINUES..—No. 11,486, another Grand Prize of E 30,000, was sold by him in Shares on the Last Day o f Draw ing, at his fortunate Offices, No. 19, Coniintr,r,, an 26, 0 XPORO•STREET, making the Fi FTII that he has lately had the pleasure of distributing to the Public, He hopes that his Good Luck will continue, and that he will have the pleasure of adding a SIXTH 830,000 to his list in the present Lottery, which Draws again on the 11th of De cember, THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. Yesterday the Festival - of the tutelar Saint of Scotland was celebrated at the London Tavern,— . - Viscount MErstr.LE in the Chair. More than three hundred Gentlemen sat down to dinner.= So numerous an attendance must be gratifying to all vlio admire the excellence of the Institution; - fOr the support of which the meeting.assembled. London is the metropolis of the kingdom, and to it each young person conscious of abilities, either Manual or otherwise, comes in order to procure that emphiyment which no other place can afford. Calamities unforeseen, accidents and illness, fre quently await the most enthusiastic. To afford to the child of want, of misery or misfortune, the solaces of advice, of money, and of -encourage- Ment, was the object of this meeting. Each petitioner, independent of the honest characte ristics of his country, is subject, before he can receive relief, to the strictest investigations as to disposition and good conduct; and none can be coine partakers of the benefits of the charitable donations of the Scottish Hospital, without giving the best proofs of *honesty and exertion.—After the cloth had been removed, Non Nobis Domine was sung by the professional gentlemen. - The eilivitmAN then proposed " The King," which was drank by all with thetruest enthusiaim. God save the King. The next toast wa4 . , " The Royal Family." Air, The hand of the Gaul. Glee, Glorious Apollo. " The Duke of York and the Army," as well as the cornier toast, was drank with laud applause, The Duke of York's March. Song, How merrily we live that Soldiers be. The CmAtitarAig then .saic4 that he should propose a toast which did not rcqUire many words nor a long preface to render all present to • drink with feelings of esteem and approbation : he should propose the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, who had long honoured the Society by his patron age and assistance as President of the Institution. As his Royal Highness was not only the President of the Scottish porpora tion, but, by the poWer which his Majesty had graciously been pleased to grant to his Royal Highness, the first among the Naval Officers of the kingdom, he would unite the toasts, and drink " His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and the Navy of the - United Kingdorn."—(Loud applause.)—Rule Britannia! • The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was, the health of a _Nobleman who, for 23 years, bad patronised the Society— who had been its President during that long and eventful period The Duke of Montrose."—(Drank with loud acclama tions.)—Should auld acquaintance be forgot. The CHAIRMAN then called the attention of all to the toast which lie had next to propose. It was one which all had deeply A heart. He meant prosperity to the Scottish Hospital. It re quired not words to expatiate on its utility; it was known, it had been, and he trusted it would always be, supported. The toast was then drank amid universal enthusiasm. Air. EMERY, of Covent-garden Theatre, then sung a humor ous song, which tended much.to contribute to the general en joyment. Mr. lIUME, M.P. then eulogised highly the objects of the charity. Although it was well known that Scotehmen were usually able to support themselves, wherever they went, yet. there were some who were unfortunate, and the object of the meeting was to giVe them relief. He held in his hand a return, from which it appeared that although during former years, the number of persons was much greater than, during the last, yet during that year there was no less than three thousand two hun dred and eighty-nine applicants received relief. Every Scotch man; whether in England or. elsewhere, could not but feel inter ested in the welfare of an Institution which tended to produce* such good effects. He observed, that it was to be regretted that many of the Scotch Noblemen who were in London had • not attended to support it. lie concluded by proposing the health of the Noble Chgrinan, 'Which was received with warm applause., His Lordship then returned thanks. He had on that day re- linquished, according to rotation, the duties of Vice President of the Institution ; but he begged leave to assure the Society, that his exertions would not therefore be diminished for its welfare. Lautur observed, that a Scotsman, like a steam vessel, could proceed manfully through wind and tide. Still, however, the machinery-might fail, and it would be hard indeed if, in case of shipwreck, 4000 of their fellow countrymen, with the First Lord of the Admiralty at their head, did not come to their re lief—(Applause.) • _ Several toasts connected with the Society were afterwards drank with every symptom of good humour and conviviality. The Secretary afterwards read the Report, from which it ap peared that a liberal subscription had been entered into. • 'Aboitt half-past ten o'clock Lord Viscount Melville left the, chair, and retired amid : the applause of the company. The chair was afterwards taken by one of the Gentlemen present, and the evening was spent in the highest cordiality. Among; the interesting spectacles of the evening may be men tioned the Grand Union Violincello, which was played upon by a performer from Dundee, named Watson, who is entirely • . • de rived of sight. He made use of his feet in order. to elicit notes from a bass viol, while he played the violin with his hands, and upon the 'Pa/Wean pipes with his mouth. Thk eXtraordi nary performer exhibited to a remarkable extent the results of industry and ingenuity, although deprived of the most. valuable of the 'SenSes• ROYAL SOClETY.—Yesterday being St. Ali- drew's Day, the Royal Society held their Annual Meeting at their apartments in Somerset-place, when the President, Sir TIUMPIIRY DAVY, Bart. after an appropriate address, presented, in the name of the Society, two gold medals (called Sir.

DECEMBER 1, 182 i. We have again to deplore the wretched con dition of Ireland, and to state that, instead. of any return to tranquil habits, new horrors have broken forth. The Dublin Correspondent of the c2Sth ult., which contains the latest accounts from our unfortunate Sister Island, gives parti culars of the murder of Major Coitus, and re lates other melancholy events. We have inserted these- melancholy facts this day, under the general head of IRELAND, and to which we refer our Readers. Our only consolation, un- der these horrible outrages, is the assurance that the Irish. Government is determined to act with promptness and energy, and, front what we learn, has resolved to trace the evil to its root, and through all its ramifications, till all effectual stop is put to its future growth. It is evi dent that some severe examples ought t) be made among the brutal wretches who have been guilty of these hideous outrages ; but some means should also be resolutely carried into effect, to prevent, if possible, any return of such disastrous proceedings. One measure of essential import ance towards the attainment of a better state of things throughout Ireland, will be the fre quent visits of the great Landed Proprietors, in order that they may have a person-al know ledge of the charactcrs of their tenants and other inhabitants of the respective places. They may' then be at hand to give immediate relief in cases of necessity, and by promoting industry to give employment to those rho might otherwise resort to the most lamentable excesses. The severe gale of wind last night will account for the non-arrival of ,French Papers, none of which had been received at the time when our Paper was put to-press; [Extract of a Letter .received this morning from New York, dated Nov. 1.1 • Business in this.
