THE YEOMANRY.

The yeomanry, as we have before stated, will
be railed out generally throughout the country ;
orders to this effect have been dispatched in various
directions. The Revenue corps have received orders
to embody themselves.
Thursday, at two o'clock, agreeably to regular
notices, the Commandants of the different yeomanry
corps of this city met his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant. His Excellency, after briefly touch-
iug on the disturbed state of different parts of the
country, and the necessity of precautionary mea-
sure, to prevent its further progress, requested they
would state the number, &c. that they could muster
of their respective corps, in case of necessity, and
for future arrangements referred theta to the Cinch
Secretary, Mr. Grant, who was present. Ilia Ex-
cellency was also pleased to observe to the Com-
mandants, that it was not necessary fur them to
come in a body for the future, as lie would himself
receive their reports individually, as suited their
convenience. Captain Stanley (Merchants' corps),
Sir William Starner, Colonel Sir Robert Shaw,
Captain Eashaw, Caputo Bloxham, Lord Castle-
coote, Captain Coleman, Captain Ihethurne, and
many others, were present.
On last Tuesday night the house of Captain
Master, in the parish of Moore. near Ballitiasloe,
was attacked and entered by a banditti, who de-
manded fire-arms. Fortunately there were no fire-
arms in the home; end, after 'searching the pre.
mires, and beating a servant who had attempted to
prevent them, they departed, without taking any

thing with them etcept to powder-horn.—(Etseniag
Paper.)
On the night of the 22d an armed gang entered
the house of one M'Oreevy, near Fairymount, and
after having threatened to shoot him, took from
him a gun.—(/bid./
A letter from the county of Kerry mentions, that
a memorial to Government, praying for the re-
enactment of the Insurrection Act, is haridtng about
for signatures among the gentry and principal in-
Infants, under the sanction of the High Sheriff and
person* of leading influence. It was thought ad-
visable not to call a public meeting, winch, by ne-
cessarily withdrawing persons of consideration and
property from their houses for a dry, would leave
the insurgents an easy opportunity of plundering
them of arms in their absence.—(/bid.)
We have ►een a letter written by a gentleman
residing near Killarney, which mentions. that the
Rector of the parish of Kuockane, where some
miscreants had burned the parish church, had taken
the preparatory steps which would entitle him to
have the amount of the loos levied off the district.

BURNING OF A CHURCH.—On Friday night
some villains maliciously set fire to the parish church
of Knockane, near Killarney, in the united diocese
of Ardfert, and Inhale consumed ir, with a number
of bibles and prayer.book., contained therein. The
churchwardens of the parish were also threatened,
a few days before, with tither loss of life or pro-
perty, if they did not desist from collecting the pa-
riah etas.
TA' day David Cur►in, John Hislon, and John
Mu/lane, were committed to the county gaol, by
Lieutenant-Colonel Ball Our, 40th regiment, charged
with having forcibly broken oven the door and felo-
niously entering the house of John Reily, of Church-
town, near Newcastle.
It was very generally reported, and commit&
cited to us by letter, from a very respectable Gen-
tleman in Troller, on Saturday, that the house of
the Rev. Edward Nash, at Larchville, near Trak.,
was also attacked on Saturday night by the same
gang who murdered Major Collis, and that Mr.
Nash was wounded in the breast. We are happy
to find by a letter received yesterday from twit
Gentleman, that the report is groundless. as on
such circumstance has occurred, though he adorns
it was very generally circulated itt Ins own neigh-
bourhood. It was conveyed to us in the same let-
ter which contained the account of Major Collis's
murder, and which appeared iu The Chronicle of
Saturday.
Th.. statement in the Kilkenny Paper, that a
proctor of the Rev. Mr. Laugrishe'r, in the county
Clare, was lately murdered. is incorrect.
Lord Charles Manners, 3d dragoons, Newcastle;
Lieutenant-Colonel Dirk, 4411 Highlanders, Rath-
kesle ; and Lieutenant Colonel Balfour, 40th regi-
ment, Newcastle, are appointed Magistrate. of the
county of Limerick.

CORI, NOVEMBER 29.
In addition to the outrage stated to our lest to
have been committed on Lieutenant Waters, at
Newmarket, on Sunday night, we have since
learned that am the following (Monday) night. a
party attacked the house of Captain Curran, also
an officer on the half-pay establishment, and nephew
to the late Muter of the Rolls, in the same neigh-
bourhood, from whom they -demanded arms ;
which not appearing disposed to comply with, they
dragged him out, and would probably have mur-
dered him also, but that providentially a gentle-
man who happened to dine with Mr. Curran,
found the arms, and gave them up, upon %hick
they went utf.
The accounts of the attack on Lieut. Waters
differ in ►ome particulars. The letter from our
own correspondent gave us to understand that he
was attacked in his house ; while it is stated in
other communications that it was on his return
from Newmarket to his residence lie was surrounded
by some of the banditti that infest that district, who
tired several shuts at him, one of which entered his
groin, and left little hope of his recovery.—
(Southeris Reporter.)

KILKENNY. DECEMBER 1.

We have just learned that a notice was ►ent with-
in these tew days through our Post-office, to a
person of the name of Blancbrick!, a tenant on the
estate of Lord Cliklen, not far from thus city, com-
manding him to abandon some land of which he
had succeeded to the possession, on the surrender
of two previous occupants. This lawless com-
munication, which was signed "Captain Rock,"
and " Lieutenant Starlight," declared, that the
writers would treat Blanc Wield "in the same
way that the Shea% were served," unless lie gave
up the land in que►tion within a week, and that
" if they did nut succeed in that way" they would
" eeitle him and Miran' together." Our readers
will recollect that the individual last named, and
who resides in the hammy of Calumny, has been
Inng obnoxious to the lawless peasantry of that
quarter.— ( Moiler aloe.)
We were correct in stating that a principal of
the Gibney banditti had become an approver
this nian's name is Phelan.--( I bid .1

The following persons were yesterday committed
to our county gaol :
Mieheel Campion and Min Ryan, charged with the mur-
der of George Brophy ; Patrick Connell, John Scully, suit
John Campton, charged with homing the house of John
Whelan, of Watersland, Galling.
Ihe L einsier Journal, also printed in Kilkenny,
and of the same date, observes—" Several „,),„,t
atrocious outrages have taken place flu the verge of
this county. We have already denounced the post.
lug of threatening notices oil the noith and oil the
south of this city."
