DUMAS, APRIL 26.
We are happy to hear that his ExceHese), the
Lord Lieutenant is so far recovered from his late
indisposition as will citable hits to attend the Charity
Sermon in St. Anne's Church, on Sunday next.—
( Freeman's Joss nut )
On Tuesday a King's messenger was dispatched
by Government to Limerick, with a reprieve for
Mr. Robert Cusses, under sentence of death for
an attack on the house of John Shelton, Esq.
Yesterday morning (says the Clonviel Advertiser).
at half-past six o'clock, a King's messenger arrived
express from the Castle of Dublin, twinging a re-
spite from his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, to
stay the execution of Thomas Bailer, convicted at
the late Atrzys of firiqg at the Rev. Samuel Ryall,
until next Tuesday, the 30th inst. Yesterday after-
noon a duplicate of the same respite was humanely
forwarded by Government, lest any accident or
delay might have happened to the express above
mentioned.

The Cork Pipers continue to report the restora-
tion of arms in almost every quarter. The Southern
Reporter of Tuesday has not a hue in ►elation to
the state of the country. Let us hope that the
season of outrage and crime is passing away.
An order has been issued, directing that such
gentlemen and farmers in the disturbed districts as
have been deprived of their arms by the insurgents,
are not to have these arms returned to them. Sucti
gentlemen. too, as have kept possession of arms re-
stored by the peasantry, are to deli►er them forth.
with to Government.

The Limerick paper contains the names of seventy
men who have absconded from their residences in
that county, and have thereby rendered themselves
liable to the penalties of the Insurrection Act. It
is supposed that several of them either have pro-
ceeded to America, or are preparing so to do, as
every effort to discover them has hithe►to proved
ineffectual.

LIMERICK ASSIZO.
MOOD•Y, APRIL 22.
COUNTY COURT.

On Saturday about one o'clock thi►teen men
were brought up fur sentence ; eight of them were
for attacking the Post Office of Shannagoldeu ; and
the remaining five for taking arms from Adam Mil-
lar's house, near Croon'. Mr. Serjeant Lefroy,
after a most able and impressive charge, sentenced
the Prisoners to death.
Dillane, alias Captain Rock, has put off his trial;
those who were taken for the slime offence, together
with a number of others, all charged with various
heinous crimes, have done the same.

The principal operators in Miss Goold's case
pot off their trials this day by affidavit. Those who
were aiding and assisting in the secreting appeared
to be reedy ; but the Crown Lawyers would not suf.
fer their trials to be proceeded upon. as the eipobe
might affect the principals, and allow them to go
out on recognizance until next Assizes.

CASE OF MR. BORTHWICE.

The Circuit Court of Jasticiary met this day at tett o'clock.
Wm. Murray Borfihrirk, accused of having stolen certain
documents from the office of the " Sentinel" newspaper,
was put to the bar. When the Clerk was about to read the
io/lament, Mr. Hope, the Advocate-Depute, rote sad
stated, that he would save their Lordships the trouble of
hesriog the isdiesment read, because he did not mean to
moceed at present with the case; be therefore moved their
Lordships to desert the diet '

It is a grievous disappointment indeed to him that the trial
has not beer proceeded with, as he expected, this day. But
year lordships are awa►e that there is no way in which an
&ceased person in Scotland can force on his trial, except by
availing himself of the provision of a statute passed is the
year 1701. Accordingly the Prisoner being most snxions.
educe he was accused, that the merits of the accusation
should be diecussed as soon as possible, adopted the proper
measure the very first moweut that he could, for securing to
himself the benefit of that AO, and the days are now ru

has made it possible to detain him there, rather than deprive

Mr. Hors ►oar, when Lora M►ADowsANK Mated, that
the explanation which Mr. Coeldosru bad made was pettedly
proper, but that still there was DO rptestion before the Court,
and that, therefore, there was no occasion for any further

Mr. Hoer slated, t►at it VtD.4 rather new law, that she

M. Burt Wick was then re-commilied upon a new
