COUNTY TIPPERARY.

Soon after twelve ou Monday (die hour appointed
for the meeting of the Extraordinary Sessions under
the Insurrection Act), several of the Magistrates
having assembled at the Courthouse at Cashel,
Lord Viscount Lisinore having proposed that the
Eaul of Dutioughmore should take the chair, the
Magistrates proceeded to business.
The Noble Chairman having directed the Requi-
sition to the Cleik of the Peace to be read under
which the Magistrates were then assembled, and
having called upon the Earl of Gletigall to be so
good as to state to the Meeting the causes which
had thus induced his Lordship to call them toge-
ther, his Lordship, after a suitable preface, iu winch
lie expressed very strongly his own feelings of those
causes which had made him think the extending
the ptovistuns of the Insurrection Act to the barony
of his and 011 a West tudispensable, proceeded to
read to the Magistrates several informations, we
believe sixteen, stating various breeches of the Isis
and outrages alleged to have been committed, which
informations his Lordship handed to Mr. Sudleir,
the Clerk of tl:e Peace. in order that they should

Magistrates then assembled, that the barony of

offences in the said itilormations contained. he
placed under the provisions of the lusurrection
Act.

The Rev. Doctor Tui key observed, that the
Noble ettotment embraced the last ten
mouths, though the Noble Earl was but two mouths
in the country.
The Noble Earl (Gkngall) retorted, that this
oliservatiou, particularly from the source from
which it came. sr,a excessively uncalled-fur towards
a family who hid hero known fur 750 years to this
country.

In opposing the reading of the statement of the
Eall of Gleugill, Lord Lisiniire remarked, th.ut
the Noble Earl whip eiriguisted the Rrquisit ion
had lull tune enough to collect informatious ou
oath.

The Eta of Glens!, denied having been the
cause of the preseitt leeting : he had been called
upon by 22 M•igistrute. to do it he hod done, in

that of 9 public nature, dud what be considered his
duty.
Lords Doming! more end Lismore both bore tes-
timony of the purity uf the Noble Earl's motives.

Mr. J. Roe said 11131 aims were in the hituds of
dangerous persons. and so bug us they were there was
no safety wlistever for the well-disposed; poison would
spread itself abroad, and the disaffected would lake
refuge where they might renialit with iinpuniiy. To
this ,Mr. Grace un.wered, that in Cloumel and Car-
hick, which had been exempted from the Insuriees.

turbed.

Lord Lismore rose and said, that he hoped in op-
posing the measure now proposed, he had no mouire
but what was suggested by so honest nod couse;eu-
nous belief that it was unnecessary.—(Hear.)
Captain Power said that, from e‘xperiruce, he

Act ben% in force in that barony.
Lord Waterpark spoke at ►ome
length regarding the difficulty of enforcing the lowa
in the pismires of Tubberid and Rallyhencon ; and
was replied to by Loud Lismore ; but the foils tr.

The Honourable and Reverend Augustus Ca-

private resentment. The offender wa, pursued its
five minutes after by his (the Doctor's) sou and some
constables.

Lord Lismore.—This prove• nothing but that
the offender was a great scoundrel.
Capt4in l'ower wished that the Insurrection Act
should be extended only to the (Mewling palls of
the barony.
After some further conversation, the questi‘ n
having been called for, the Earl of Gleugall
moved—

That a hfeworial be presented to t►e Lord Lieutenant,
irs place the pariah?* of Tubberid, Coker, Whit, hooch, n.. 1

Th 4 Earl of Donoughinore said, he would put
it ; but would oppure it here and elsewhere by his
representations,

The Eurl of Glengall said. that he would make
representations likewire; and though he was rot
Privy Counsellor, he doubted not their effect—for a
Privy Counsellor had no exclusive weight with Go-
vernment above other individuals who had a right
to be heard.

There was then a call for the question, and as the
meeting was going to divide, it was assented th, t
the majority was with the Ayes. We mina soy
how the numbers were exactly, but we sliculd sup-
pose that upwards of thirty voted for the Insurrection
Act being extended to the four pari►l:es abuse
mentioned.

Upon the motion of Mr. Richard Sadleir, the
Earl of Donoughmore having left the chair, aid
the Earl of Glengall being called thereto, the
thanks of the meeting were unanimoualy voted to
the Earl of Donoughmore, for hia proper and dig-
nified conduct in the chair.

The Memorial was then signed by the several
persons who voted for it.

We understand that • Prated was drawn np _
shortly afterwards; •nd signed by some of the
dissentients.

CORK, OCTOBER 23.

The difference which has existed for some time
past in this city between the Commissioners, Messrs.
Then, and P. Fitzpatrick, sent down by the
Board in Dublin to investigate some revenue defal-
cations, and the great leading distillers of this city,
with respect to the right claimed by the former,
under the 46th George 111. cap. 106, sec. 54, to
interrogate upon oath the latter on the concerns of
their trade, and the nature of their connexions
with such revenue officers as were placed over them,
is likely to be adjusted without encroachiug Ull
the right which every man posSesses over his
private property, and the privilege he enjoys not
to inculpate himself. It seems a new Commission
has been directed to the above gentlemen, which is
only to extend to au inquiry into the conduct of
two revenue officers recently on duty iu this city.
on some specific charges, and not to branch out
into extraneous matter, or to sift out criminutory
subjects for censure before any ill consequences
were found to exist. The inquisitorial power claimed
arid exercised by official peisous connected with the
revenue over the individuals in trade and their
properties who come under the control of this de-
partment, has long been a subject of grievous com-
plaint and unmitigated regret, and has made the
rtuation of those individuals and their mode of
being obliged to do business more to be lamented
than that canny other class of manufacturers in the
kingdom. The revenue, no doubt, usual he col-
lected, and it is right to take every precaution
against fraud ; but at the same time every untie-
cessaey severity ought to be avoided as much as
possible, and, above all, the sanctuary of a inati't
conscience ought not to be unnecessarily invaded,
and oaths imposed upon him on every trifling or--
cAsion, ►o as to lessen the value and importance of
this sacred obligation, nor should the lawful effor;s
he makes to advance his trade be converted into a
trap to effect his ruin.—(Nercantile Ciao:side.)
