DVILTIN, lEBRUAIT 2.
The following order issued from the Excise
Board, and directed to the proper officer, 'thews
clearly that the employment of the yeomanry on
revenue duties has been strictly prohibited for some
time back. What will Mr. Norcott, the Surveyor
of Customs at Clonakilty, say to this ?

Sot—Mr. Groot, Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, hair.
log in his letter dated the 9d ult. stated, that it has been re-
' ported to Government that the Ballyduff corps of yeomanry,
in the county of Cavan, are frequently railed upon by the
revenue officers of that town, fur the purpose of searching
fur illicit stills, and that he is commanded to acquaint the
Board, that, from raspy considerations, it is very objectionable
to employ the yeomanry on revenue duties, and that prohi.
biting orders on that subject were issued to the several Bit-
' pde M sjoi a.
The Board direct, that ye■ do enjoin the several officers

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
There appears to be the best ►eason to hope for
a speedy restoration of tranquillity in the county
of Cork. The infatuated disturbers of the peace
have already offered to abandon their insane pur.
snits. They naturally endeavoured to procure the
liberation of their companions who hive been made
prisoners, as • condition of their surrender. No
terms could, of course, be listened to, and the
peasantry mule, before this time, be convinced
that their only hope of escape front ruin and death
is in unconditional surrender.
It was rumoured yesterday that the Marquis
Welletiley hod determined to proceed directly to
the seat of these outrages; and toenail' the close
of the day it was said his Excellency and Sir David
Baird, the Commander of the Forces, had actually
set off for Cork. This report wrs, ■t least, pre-
mature.

The precept for holding a Special Commission
in Cork, on the 16th instant, was teceived at the
Sheriff's/ Office in that city on Thursday. It is
understood that the Attorney-General is desirous
of attending the sitting of the Commission him-
self, of possible.
The Southern Reporter of Thursday contained
the following paragraph. It is a little mysterious,
but the general complexion of the latest and most
authentic accounts from Cork are too favourable to
leave any just cause of alarm
" This city has quite a warlike appearance all day, parties
of the army coetinually passing through at a very quick
rate, as if there was an immediate and presets( call for their
services. A large party, consisting of cavalry and infantry,
went out last night, upon information which, we understand,
was deemed important, and traversed the country towards
Killeady-hill, on the old Bandon road, in which neighbuor-
hood same houses had been attacked for areas the two pre-
ceding nights; bat they returned this morning withunt, as we
learn, ►aving sera or met with any thing worthy of 'satire.—
la less t►an as Isnot after their ►eturn another strong de-
tachment of cavalry, accompanied by W. Preston White,
Fag. passed through the city, taking apparently the same
route by which the former had come is; but Mr. White's
party maimed shortly after, and there have been since then
malt parties of cavalry palming and re-paying through the
city. With the cease, or calls fur these movements we are
sot acquainted."

The peasantry seem to have given up all ides of
industry, although the present weather is mo.t
favourable for country work. A GeutlemAir who
travelkd through a part of this county yesterday
informed us that he did not see •oy preparation
for tillage, in fact the ploughman ha■ ceased to
whistle.
The 42d regiment, stationed at Newcastle, have
►eceived a route for Trader.

A notice was posted at Ballinacurra Nat night,
threatening • farmer, of the name of Mall, with the
fate of the Shea's, if he continued to hold the farm
of Cunnigar, lately held by John Torrance, Esq.
They also threatened any person who would take it
down. Captain Drought's police, however, were
not to be intimidated, and they took it off the wall.
On Wednesday last Carew O'Grady, Esq. at-
tended by the police quartered at Herbertatnisis
made a search for arms, and succeeded is taking
one blunderbuss two muskets, one carbine, one
pistol, and three buyouets, with powder-horns and
bullets.

THE AFFAIR OF CLONARILTY.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
The Corooer's loqueat on the body of the unfor-
tunate /lackey, who came by his death under the
circumstances already stated in thw journal, com-
menced sitting oo Sunday last, when Jas. O'Brien,
Esq. Coroner, attended by ■ respectable Jury, of
which Mr. Henry Frank., late of this city, is fore-
man, proceeded from Clouakslty to the church of
Kesittesigh, &stout about eleven milee, where the
deceased had been interred on the Sunday before.
After viewing the body and taking the deposi-
tion of Dr. Eylmore, the Coroner and Jury re-
turned to the lands of Bully nerd, the residence of
the deceased, where they were met by Lord Car-
hery, the Rev. Thormis Kenny, the Rev. William
Steward, Mr. Deasy, Mr. Gillman and Mr. Ben-
nett, Magistrates, and a number of other gentlemen.
The Jury having tuken a view of the ground,
marked the position of the yeomanly with reference
to Buckley at the moment he was shot, there was
only time to commence taking the deposition of the
man who had beers tied to him when he received his
death wound, when, the hour getting very late,
tne Inquest was adjourned to 10 o'clock the nest
morning, diet' to be held at Clonakilty.
Accordingly the Inquest was resumed yesterday
morning, but from the number of witnesses to be
examined, sod us the Coroner and Jury would be
obliged to go again to B.lllynard, which is near six
miles distant t.lOlll the town, to take the deposition of
the unfortunate deceased's wretched wife, who lir s
daogeroualy ill, in consequence of premature la-
bour brought on by the fatal transaction; it was
supposed the proceedings could not termioate be-
, fore this (Tuesday) eveutng.

CORK, JANU•RY 31.
The Inque►t on the body of the unfortunate
Buckley had not terminated at an advanced hour
yesterday, and we have reason to think would not
have closed last night, as it was likely that another
view of the body would be required to be taken by
the Jury, in which case another day's delay mubt
ensue, the church-yard where it was buried being
eleven mules distant from Clunukilly.—(Southers
Reporter.)
