to be laid out in clothing and other necessaries for
the poor.
The Earl of Roden has arrived in town from his
seat, Tullymore Park, on his way to London, to at-
tend his parliamentary duties. We understand
his Lordship is to move the Address to his Majesty,
in the House of Lords, on the opening of the Ses-
sion.—(Dabfirt Preens./
The Lord Chief Justice Downes has resumed his
seat in the King's Bench. It is considered certain,
however, that his Lordship will close his judicial
labours with the presesit Terns.

It is known that Mr. Serjrant Joy has mo►e than
once declined any appointment beneath a Chief
Judgeship. Report now states that the Learned
Serjeant accepts the seat vacated by Judge Duly,
with a positive promise of Lord Notary's place,
whenever that becomes vacant.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
[From the Cork latolligencor of Thursday.]
On Tuesday evening great consternation was
crested in this city by intelligence brought by some
highly respectable perturb' from the western part of
this county, of an engagement having taken place
on Monday, between a party of the military, under
the command of Lord Bantry, and a large party of
the in►urgents, who had assembled in great force in
the mountains between Bantry and Mamoru, the
comoinnication between which, it was said, they had
completely intercepted. Anxious to satisfy the pub.
Ile as far as possible, we immediately proceeded to
make the most diligent inquiry into the facts of the
transaction, in which he had made some progress,
when the following letter was handed to us, arid
which, though brief, may be considered the most
accurate particulars that have yet been received on
the subject :
Bastry, January 21.
1. We are all in a state of alarm here; my Lord Bantry
has been obliged to retreat again from the Oka of Coo-
leagb, under extremely unpleasant eircommaoces. He, this
marmot, wit► • detachmeot of the 39th, ander the cam.
mind of Major Grilse., consisting of thirteen sees, met
with ■ mob& trf armed sees, consisting is all of about
sixty persons. They bad • &operate affray, and every wean
look care of member one. 1 hey bred, on an average,
meaty roan& • man; and 1 am told there is bat one of
the rebel party dead, and three or four wrestled. His
Lordship's party left one of the 39th on the field of batik,
weimeded, who bas been since cut to pieces; and 1 have it
from authority, that those ruffians took off his bead with
them in triumph. 1 suppose the enfortusate man's body
will be brought tu to•morrow."

Upon being informed of what bed occurred, and
that a lerge-parly were collecting in the neighbour-
hood of Incliegele, Jim,. Early, Esq. the active
Magistrate of that niece, immediately proceeded
express to Macroom, to communicate with Mr. H.
Eyre, who, accompanied by some other gentlemen,
and • small delachinent of military. horse mid foot,
under the command of Captain FitxClarener,
stonily set out for the place. On their arms!,
however, at a short distance from it, they observed
the people assembled so numerous, and the position
they occupied so inaccessible, that they con►idered
it better not to advance without • reinforcement,
and until • communication could be had • ith the
General of the district. Accordingly. a Gentle-
man was dispatched, who arrived in tows on
day evening. at five o'clock ; and, from the prompt
measures adopted by the General, no doubt the
loyal and peaceable inhabitants of the disturbed
districts will find protection and security, while
those deluded miscreants will speedily meet the
punishrneot they deserve.
