►i'ATERFORD. OCTOBEIL 28.

A rely atrocious murder was committed on Tues-
day se'unight. in Blarney-lane, Cork, on a lamp-
lighter of the 'manse of Neville, by the proprietor
of a public-house in that part of the city, named
Kelliher, anti two associatts, monad Buckley. The
unhappy 'object of this criminal brutality. it ap-
pears, had been in the usual exercise of his duty,
which extended to Blarney-lane, and had knocked
at Kelliher's door,- in order to get a drink of porter.
The door was opened, twt instead of ailinitting the
unfortunate man, Kelliher and the two Buckleys
rushed out, the former with a large wooden her in
his hand, and attacked him, and a young lad, his
brother, who is also a lamp-lighter, and was with
him., One of the Buckley' held the lad, while the
other two attacked the deceased—and a blow of
the bar, given with extreme force, quickly did his
business. Hang life had remained after the first
blow, the repetition of it, with horrid and winguin-
airy deliberation, dispatched eficetually the object
of it. The body vas taken up at dead, anti the
cruel ruffians who committed the murder escaped.
The City Sheriffs, however, were, very shortly after,
acquainted with the transaction; arid they Imme-
diately after repaired to the scene of murder, se-
cured the wife of Kelliher, and a number of per-
sona who slept in the house, which was a kind of
cartnait's inn. By very active exertions to detect
the inurdrrers, they were also fortunate enough to
secure ohe of the Buckley., who, with all who
were in the house, they lodged that night in Bride-
bell. The dead body of Neville was removed to
his house, where it remained until • Coroner'.
Inqnrst sat upon it, and brought in a verdict of
wiyal Murder u4uiurt. Kelliher and the Buckley..
Two of these nefarious villains have hitherto eluded
detection—but the pursuit after them is so active
and so unremitting, that there is no chance of
their filially escaping. The persons who were
taken in Kelliher's house were released after the
inquest ; they were for the most part utacquainted
with the transaction when it occurred. His ser-
, rant maid, whin was present at the murder, is iu
' custody. She hes yet declared nothiug--and
seems not disposed to it.

On Saturday sennight, a desperate attempt was
made to break into Carlisle gnu!, for the purpose of
liberating STOLES, the robber of the Whiteharen
Bank, from prism. This man was, some time ago,
through the humane interference of Qr. BE•suat,
removed from the condemned cell, to a room at the
other end of the prison. in consequence of his hay-
ing lost the use.of his limbs. Acquainted with this
circumstance, the svillains, to effect their design,
had succeeded in perforating the wall about a foot
square, immediattly opposite the bed SToces slept
in, which was on the ground floor. Ina few minutes
he would certainly have escaped, had they not been
alarmed by • chaise driving up to the gaol ddor,
about half past live o'clock in the morning—STmLE*
is said to he extremely rich, and was the leader of
a gang, who, it is supposed, have committed depre-
dations in Cumberland. to the amount of upwards
of 200,0001. This STOLES, along with EDWARD%
one of his associates in the rolittery. are sentenced
to be executed at Carlisle, on the :lath instant.

Thursday, at two o'clock, an Inquest was held
at the Coach and Horses, Liquorpoliii-street, be-
fore GRoarm IlonuYov, Esq. Coroner for the
County, au the body of Jsmts Woorr.a, the lute
master of that house. It appeared that the de-
ceased had been for some tune past of a gloomy
habit, and it eras supposed that come domestic
trouble bud soured his disposition, and deranged
his intellects. The Jury, therefore, returned •
verdict of—Lunacy.

We are sorry to learn, that the Iludrophobia still
continues to rage aiming the canine %pixie', in the
neighbourhood of Exeter, to an alarming degree:
and it therefore behoves every person oho is the
owner of a dog, carefully to secure him, to prevent
mischief. We have just received a letter front a
most respectable feiewl at l'horverton, on this sub-
4ect, which, as a caution to our reader's, we shall
Insert ; the accuracy of it may be depended upon :
—" Some short time since, a hound, belonging to
Mr. Puosi, of Thorverton, Devonshire, was bitten
by a dog which passed through Exeter, and was
uprooted to be mad. Symptoms of Hydrophobia
having mode their appearance, the hound was
chained up, and carefully kept apart. The disor-
der, however, rapidly increased, and, about three
week since, he died, quite marl. Upon the symp-
toms of disease first appearing, It eras discovered
that hr had bitten several others of the pack, in
consequence of which Mr. Purim his ever MICH
kept his hounds confined, nod had a watchful eye
over them. • They heve,• however, appeared per-
fectly well, until this dim, when ;he divesse again
shelved itself so decidedly, and with each violence,
that lir fouled it necessary immediately to put the
whole packs fifteen eoupk of toe Woods, te••
death.' —This eirmosiiises isivires w assissst.

BELFAST, NOV. IA.

Extract of a letter from Burinuills, dated Nor.
16:—e• On Tuesday evening lasi, two small yea-
eels were seen off Port Ballintrae, beating .to the
east. The wind increasing during the night, Mr.
Robert Gamble, coast officer of this place, kept a
look-out, and early next moron); discovered too
evident Iowa& of a wreck having taken place.
Psrt of a long boat, a black dug, and a great
number of splinters, were found on the bench,
and on waking further search, eleven firkins of
hatter, worked • A. W. keely, Sligo,' were also
found under Dunlace Castle. These are in the
possession of Mr. Gamble and Mr. James Moore,
of Dunluce, by whose joint exertions they were
saved, and who, with the assistance of it party of
the Giant's Causeway Yeomanry. continue to pre-
serve what may be dnfted un shore. It is supposed
that one of the above ves.els ran on a dangerous
rock, called the Stirks, whieli lies between the
Skerries and the ruins of poultice Castle. Much
praise is due to Mr. Gamble, fur the indefatigable
exertions made by him to save and preserve part
of the wreck awl cargo of this ill-fated vessel."
