leiwitsess essourred in this neighbourhood since yes-
terday. About n week silo two brasher*: of the
Mae of Power. living at Foth-mile Water. in the
county of Waserford, were taken under an execution
for debt ;..but the constables being ton few. were
obliged to submit t• • rescue, great numbers

ifoy the purpose. Information being
lodged agstostiome of the !ceders. is party of Solis
them from Other. end a constable (in all Aileen).
proceeded to their habitations early this morning
(two o'clock), and succeeded in retaking them.
Information flew through the country at once, sad
hundreds appeared, most of them aroted.• and all
determined on another rescue. They tired on the
soldiery, who seeing it impossible to proceed. re-
treated into the Comte, near the bridge. In the
mean time, thousands from all quarters collected
to aid In the general cause, and. no doubt. would
have destroyed the party ; but they were told. if
any attempt were made, the erisoners would be im.
mediately shot. In this predicament they remained
until • reinforcement of an officer's guard brought
them clear off, at four o'clock this evening. The
prisoners, one a shoemaker and the other a smith,
were brought into Cloumel gaol at six o'clock.
They are as ripe for outrage in this quarter as in
Limetick. As a proof of this, it is impossible to
collect 4 correct account of this transection, for
what you hear from one, another will contradict,
but most seem disposed Id be silent on the subject.

[From the Clommel Adtvrtiser, Driveller I.]
The first subscription, ou the pert of the neigh-
bouring gentry, towards the discovery of the mon-
sters concerned in the burning and murder at Tub-
ber, appears in this day's publication. We have
no doubt it will increase to so ample endowment
for the first person who, being a competent saltness.
will avail himself of the opporturiity of bringing the
most atrocious of villains to justice.
The barn, Ake. burnt at ,Killemry on Monday
night was the property of Richard Shea. a miller,
and on the estate of Sir Wheeler Cuffe. There is
no dotibt it wee • militious burning. Richard Shea
was not a relative of those destroyed at Tubber.
On Wednesday night a paper was affixed to the
Post-office of Clonmel, mentioning that many pro-
clamations, besides the one offering rewards for
discovery of. the outrage at Tubber, would be ne-
cessary. The same night water was poured into
the receiver of said Post-office, to the injury of se-
veral letters therein deposited.
Our domestic news from 'the more southern die-
, tricts, continues to be of nu afflicting and disgrace-
ful character; and we regret to find symptoms of an
ill inclination neater home than Tubber. All the
proclamations for prosecuting the murderers of the
Shea. were torn down the first night after their
being posted. and. in place of them, a short notice
was put up—" Not to be uneasy about the procla-
mations being taken down; that there should be
occasion foe plenty of them before the winter was
over." We have heard loosely of other notices be.
ing posted in town, but would not venture report-
ing them without fuller authority; and we are quite
convinced, that, iu so large a populstio's us ours,
there must be many loose, idle, and thoughtless
blockheads, who would think such a display of wit
extremely frolicsome, in the agitation it might ex.
cite amongst their more serious neighbours.—(Clon-
mel Herald.)
WATERFORD.

[From the Meow, December I.]
We alluded indistinctly in our Journal of last
Saturday, to au outrage of a very heinous charac-
ter, which tuck place between Dungarvan and
Youghel. The following are the circumstances as
we have learned them froNn authority :
Wednesday week two Magistrates, Wm. Barron
and Henry WlOOlOll Barron, &qui. accompanied
by eight Willi, went to execute • warrant against
a man named Power, in that part of the country,
whch is so proverbially lawless that no bailiff will
dare meme a warrant there without either a Ma-
gistrate or the mammy. Power having been et-
cured. • large coueoutse of people assembled, fol-
lowetl the prisoner, attacked the Magistrates with
stone., struck them several timer, and severely
wounded one of the bailiffs. They finally succeed.
ed in rescuing the prisoner, es the Magistrates did
not find their party Arcing enough to contend with
the crowds of people who assembled. There were
some shot. fired to intimidate the mob, but this
only excited them to additional violence.
We have been called upon to give an unqualified
contradiction to the story of an attack having been
made upon the house of Richard Boyce Osborne,
near Cmitletowo. county Kilkenny, Esq.
At • wren's!" of Magistrates and Gentlemen of
the county of Waterford, held at Tallow, on the

SALE OF GUNPOWDER.
The Mayor of this city received a letter from Mr.
Secretary Grant, desiring that he should require the
venders of gunpowder in this City, to deliver up
such quantities of that article pi. they had in their
possession to him, to be limited in the Orimince
Stem. Ott receipt of this communication Alder-
man Ormsby, accompanied by Captain Drought,
Cboef Magistrate of Police, waited on the Gentle-
mei in that trade, and in the most polite manlier,
communicated to them the wishes of Government,
which was immediately complied with, and every
pound of that erticle ea sale in this city we lodged
in the stores before six o'clock on that evening.
The energy and promptitude of Government in
this instance will have the best effect, if the order
is general throughout this kingdom, as without that
article the arms which have been plundered from
the peaceable and well-disposed in this country will
become useless to those sanguinary wretches who
have made such a fatal sod bloody use of them.

[Pram the Chronicle, December I.]
The Magtstratvs and Gentlemen on the line of
road from Dublin, hare been on the alert in this
particular, .as some cars, laden with gunpowder,
consigned for (his city, have been stopped by them,
and stored in places of security.

A most numerous and respectable meeting of the
Magistrates and Gentlemen of the county of Tip-
perary was held at Nenagh. on Wednesday, when
resolutions were entered into expreveing • deter-
mination to support the peace of the county. and
praying that the Legislature would have the Insur-
rection Act re-enacted, which the meeting con-
ceived the most effectual mode of restoring tranquil-
lity. At this meeting gentlemen were present
who resided upwards of thirty miles asunder, and
who readily asoembied at a call to goblet and sup-
port each other. The Noble Chairman, from Kil.
boy ; Mr. Perry, from Moderenny ; the Hon. Mr.
Pattie, and several others from Macre., meeting
Anthony Parker, E.g. from Castlelough ; the
meeting was also attended by Morgan O'Meara,
Esq.. General Head, Dean Holmes, Sir William
P. Carrel, John Kennett, Thomas Ryder Pepper,
George Finch, Richard Galion, and John Poe,
Esqr*., and all the respectable gentlemen of the
neighbourhood; the number would have been trebly
increased if public notice had been given.
On Tuesday night five fellows distributtiVesea
tices at several farm houses, on different town-lett%
within a few perches of Upper William-street,i-tiea
siring the proprietors to pay certain sums ire 'supa
port of •,* Captain Wright and his partyil and
threateniog with desttuction those who refuse to
conform. We understand that some of the farmers.
through intimidation, complied with their illegal
demands.

The house of John Enright. at Boherue. near
Pallas Grime ; Daniel Lee. at Dramkeen ;- Bar-
tholomew Brien, near Ballybrood, several
others in the neighbourhood of Cahirconlish. were
visited on Wednesday night in search of bre-arms,
and contributions in money levied from each.
Mr. Msunsell's house, at Ballybrood, was also
attacked in search of tire-arms. and none being
found, all the windows in the house were broken.
On Friday night last, at twelve o'clock. the house
of L. Cosset), Esq. of Rockhill. near !buret. was
attacked by a well-armed banditti in search of arms.
Mr. Cowen was then in Limerick. ■nd his arms
having been previously removed, his house and
offices being thatched, the inmates admitted the
assailants from an a►surance that they would do no
injury ; they proceeded to search the house mi-
nutely, and finding no arms, departed, declaring
they would nut wish to injure Mr. Cussen.

The same party proceeded to Ballyteige, -the
house of Mrs. Nash, which they entered and search.
ed iu the sane manner, but with the like faeces'',

the arms of the young gentlemen of that liott,e
being also remtvree.
(hi Wednesday night a party. suppostd rn he the
same. attacked Mr. Cusseit's house a wrwsd 'now in
a Most violent manner, declaring that thrt had
formation that Mr. Cusses had still hi. Wale in Ilse
house, and that they should get throw'. Mr. Cos-
ern remonstrated with them for some time, tell-
ing them he had no arms ; they then pr, crested to
sledge in the hall-door, which aas opened for throw.
and, en enterin examined every pat tof the house
most closely. On heing a second time iltsappointe.
ed, one of the. fellows proposed Mn oath to Mr. •
Cussen, to send for his irons, and have them rent
where they would direct, which Mr. Cuomo Ise-
rem ptorily refuted, assuring them they wr re sent mato
the barracks; on which one fellow cockeil his pistol
and presented it at Mr. Cusseu's hiraot, ssvtating
they untold give Itint hut two n. its to love if krt
did ism comply. Mr. Casson remainin4 firm te hi•
telsolistion; the fellow discharged the pts.nl at 4e
peelodr ddor, *which was rhatierrd, it being loadfot
with large shot. He then rerltssded, and the
ants departed without further mischief.

They thea proceeded to Dentelin, the bootie of
Major Harding, where they stated to the family.
that if the arms which bad been removed from the
hone', some time before. by Henry Hardit.g. ju,..
Esq. were not brought back and left for them, they
would return in a night or two and put them all t,►
death.

A party, snppdsed to be the lime, but by far a
greater number, again attacked the house of Mrs.
Nash, at the early hour ()fatten o'clock this morn-
ing, and not finding arms, they decamped, threat-
ening the !trek of the initiates, if they knew any of
the party, should they nuke a discovery.
Two additional Feld pieces and a considerable
quantity of innuitioitiou will arrive in this city iu 1111

CLARE.

[From the La Cltromicle, December I.]

Yesterday the Staff of the Clam militia marched
from Clare Castle, to occupy the villages bordering
on the county of Limerick.

This day the Ennis yeomanry. about 100 strong,,
were paraded, we suppose, its consequence of the
thtermirlfrinn of Government, fur calling on the
services of the yeomanry at large. They were in-
formed, that to-morrow a proposal would be made
them for fifty of their number to volunteer their
services and place themselves under the command of
Colonel Creagh, of the 93d regiment, who com-
mands in this garrison.
The different persons who sell gunpowder in this
town were visited yesterday by the Chief Constable
and a party of the police, when every pound of that
article in their possession was delivered up.
CORK.
[From the Solt'kers Reporter, December I.]
The immediate vicinity of this city continw s
tranquil, and we have letters from various distant
parts of the county stating the same gratifying fat t
that the best spirit prevails. Of this we glee the
following proof, in relation to • district of which
onpleastng rumours were circulated :

It is gratifying to see the Christian pastors sitar
uniting to preserve peace among their flocks. %Vc
hope to see their example generally imitated.
The Rev. F. Godwin has collected in all he
arms from the farmers in the parish of Donosignime,
and has deposited them in • place of safety, whe.e
they are well guarded by u body of armed me, .
The Rev. Mr. Beresford has dune the same in ti,e
