According to this account, the monsters beset the house, and having set fire to it, barbarously shot all who attempted to escape from the conflagra tion. The number of victims is stated by this Paper, at nineteen !—The heart sickens at this dreadful instance of human atrocity. The Dublin COtrespondent likewise declares the tragic event to have been perpetrated by the insurrectionaq peasantry: Two other shocking murders are detailed in the Cork Papers.On Monday nigh t,J ER EmiAx SCor.r.r was dragged from his-house near Kenturk, shot, and thrown upon a burning- pile, where hi s b o d was consumed ; and on AVe'clnesclay night a party attached the house of a person named Muaeity, near Cullahill, in Queen's County, Liarbarthisly beat him with spades, and afterwards terminated hissulferings by nearly severing his head • from his body with a bill-hook. MURPHY had pro secuted and convicted two men for sheep -steal jug ; .and it is supposed has fallen a victim to the deadly vengeance of these miscreants for hav ing resorted to the laws. A meeting of the Creditors of Messrs. ROCHE, Bankers, was held on Tuesday last. It was stated to the meeting that the Assignees ►would be enabled to make a first dividend about the month of May, of 3s. 4d. in the pound, even if the debts should amount to 120,0001. At pre sent the debts proved only amounted to about 90 5 0 60/.

This case is altogether of great importance, as the conviction and punishment of Mr. WILLIAMS -W ill tend 'much to correct an erroneous idea too entertained, that Returning Officers at Elections -cannot be made responsible for miscon duct and partiality, or rather that the proof of the offence is so e ncu m b e r e d with legal refine ments, that it is hopeless for as Elector, who has b een deprived of the exercise of his franchise, to e xpect redress from an appeal to the laws of the, G auntry ; an d wh i c h has . b een the source of much injustice, by rendering the Returning "ifAcers in many places totally regardless of the rigitts of the Electors. The judgment of the Court is severe ; .but se 'verity was necessary to arrest the progreis Of an % II I) Which, if unrepressed, must eventually have destroyed the equilibrium of our inestimable C. nstitution, by preventing the fair and free texerCise of those popular rights which we are co a f u t t h e. t .. f roni childhood to revere as the palladium liberty and independence enjoyed by all _lass e i n Returning this country. This judgment will compel Officers to r-ecollect that they have itn- Portant duties to perform, and that they are bound t , ° to , n lake themselv e s acquainted with their nature, V I " discharge th em conscientiously and im rartiallY• It will also convi,tice the Public, that the or Courts of La w conside`r. every infringement ` PubliC rights as a veYy high misdemeanor, and ~t they .will never admit it to be any palliation °t ,. t he offence, that it was committed in the heat o f an election, or that it arose from the warmth w Party or political feeling, or the bias of pri vate friendship and gratitude: Majesty's ship.Mettai, Captain MORESBY, 11 ., arrived at Port Louis, Mauritius, 4th April with the Success brig, of Nantes, VINCENT It'TßAx o „ Mast er , from Z a nziba r t o Bourbon, w 'th 343 slaves, men, women, and boys.

One of the letters, which is dated on the day of the sailing of the packet, announces, that a conspiracy had been discovered in that city to separate the Bra ails from Portugal, and to establish an Indepen dent Government, at the head of which the Prince Regent, with the title of King-of Brazil, Was to be placed. ,No other letters,. however, by the same conveyance, contain any hint of such . an occurrence ; and we mention it, not because we attach any credit to it, but to guard against the delusion that might arise from the unquali , bed circulation of. such a statement. We may add," that several eminent merchants connected with Brazil, who had heard of ithiS . report, have taken much p a i ns ,. persona ll y, to hives. tigate it s end they have come to the same con clusion' AS. ourselves on the subject.- As -far as the direct interests of this country are don cerned, no event could be less favourable, for we believe it is universally admitted by persons conversant with- the question, that the chief hold of the. En glish on .the .Brazilians is through Portugal. The Rio Janeiri.

A most serious accident had nearly - happened alongside his Majesty's ship Northumberland, in the Medway, on Monday last. The fire-engine was put in one of the boats, for the pur pose of washing the ship round, with the boatswain, six-men, and two boys ; the First Lieutenant lay near, in a small boat, with two boys to direct. By some neglect, the fire-engine slipped on one side, when several men moving suddenly over to replace it, the boat filled and disappeared, with men, engine, Ste- for some seconds. On their coming up, slit boys in the small boat threw their oars to those in the waterovhich render ed the boat unmanageable. Fortunately, those who could swim reached the small boat and ship, and were picked up ; two (a man and a boy), ,unable to swim, still struggled, and would certainly have perished, but that Mr. Hopkins, a Midshipman; jumped overboard after, and saved the man ; and Mr. Mere dith, the First Li eutenant, j umpe d aftei insecured the bot, whom they_ held up for sortie ininutes, till a-boat arrived to their' assistance.

Melton Mowbray, Nov. 22. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. MELTON HUNT.—Arrivals this week.—The Marquess of Graham, Hugh Ball Hugh, Esq., Charles Schofield, Esq., Capt. Cornwall. The following are crack hunts in the neighbourhood of Melton : The Belvoir Hunt, with its commanding situation and princely arrangements, is well worthy of its noble owner, the Duke of Rutland, and stands decidedly first of the list. The Earl of Lonsdalc, cloSe as a neighbour and a rival, runs the Noble Duke veri+thard ; all. that perfect experience as a Sportsman is able to do, united with the utmost affability to the Field, forms the admired conduct of the Head of the House of Lowther. Perfect in appointment and unbOunded in libe rality, no man takes the field in higher style. The Quorn or Melton Hunt, the pride and glory of all that was gallant• and dashing, under the auspices of .Meynell, has nut, from changing masters, lost any of its celebrity ; the coun try and coverts arc unquestionably the finest in the kingdom. The Pytchley Hunt, like the (Int:an, has had various changes, and since the present Earl Spencer resigned the management, which his Lordship reluctantly did, owing to his being then at the head of the Admiralty, this famous pack have somewhat declined : they are now con - signed tt, Mr. Chaworth, and they perhaps could not have falleninto better hands. - The Duke of Grafton; who can do nothing ill, affords excel _lent sport to his friends,tdividing the season between Suffolk and Northamptonshire. Lord - Middleton, in Nottinghamshire,' boasts some of the oldest and best blood of the original lox-hound, and his esta , bhshment is truly magnificent. GALLANT - Fox CriAcE. - -LOn Saturday the 17th inst. the QuOrndon Hounds met at Presswould, and from the gardens of C. J. Packe,'Esq. a fine Fox broke cover; he took over the lawn to Burton on the Woulds, from thence at an amazing pace to Walton Thorns, took the middle lane skirting Story's plantation by Ragdale , Hall, went forward, leaving Shuby &holes a short distance to the ri g h t , crosse d Dalby Woolds for the windmill, leaving the mill to the right, to Broughton grounds, then led them nearly to Parson's Gorse and turned 'short to• Brorighten; then crossed the Smyte near Clawson, bore to the left towards Kinnoulton, then turned to the right for. HoSe, and crossed the Vale of Belvoir ; here he made his lasterfort to gain .a strong cover on the hills, but his attempt was in vain, the 'hounds Caine up to- him and killed him in a most gallant'stYle in the middle of a field near Piper Hole, he having laid' doWn,- and actually turned round and faced his pursners, after two hours and ten minutes the severest running remembered, without a check. Out of a field of several hun. tired Noblemen and Gentlemen,' only four were up at h e death. •CL - 1* Ye knowing Sportsmen, foremost of thelms.l Who keep no turnpikes and no fences heed ; Who crack the echoing whip, go off in style, Enjoy the burst and pace through every mile ; Now found,-now lost, and now again in view,_ The .conning fugitive ye close purse.
