ILIEL.4ND.

The intolerant party has obtained another recruit
in Dublin in the person of ex-Sheriff Brady, a man
knighted by the King himself; as one of tke sup-
porters of his system of conciliation, and who we
did not expect to find a deserter from the regiment
so soon after he had received the bounty. At the
breaking up of the Quarter Assembly, Sheriff Smith
invited the whale of the Corporation to dine with
him at Morrison's, where he had ordered dinner,
and as tke candidates for Aldermen were there to
declare themselves, a more than usually numerous
attendance took place, consisting of between ninety
and one hundred members, when Messrs. Foot,
Archer, Whitford, and Brady, declared themselves
aspirants for the ahlermanic gown. On the health
of the worthy sheriff being drank, he availed ;Am-
. self of the olvortunity of stating, that wlicit Nst
he had the honour of presiding in the chair, he ap-
peared, by the line of conduct he had adopted, to
have given offence to some members of the any.
ration, by not giving a particular toast; but he
must assure the gentlemen that the line of conduct
he had then pursued he would still fearlessly fol-
low, and not be biassed by any ore; he could not
be in that chair as a puppet, by pulling this string
or that; he was not to dance • r sing, or make a
speech at any man's pleasure. He did conceive
from his heart that in obeying the mandate of his
Sovereign, he was best supeorting the interest and
independence of the corporation (7f Dublin, and he
did therefore, hope no cr.: would dictate to him
what line of conduct lie was to pursue. Things
were going on so far so well, when a gentleman
got up and said he "odd drink the: " Glurious Me.
wig," in spite of the Sheriff; on which Smith most
manfully stood up, and declared that he would
either be supported in the clia;r or leave it, which,
we regret to find was the case. Sheriff Brady wvs
voted to the chair, and the toast was acconlingly
given by those who were opposed to Sheriff Smith.
At the Quarter Assembly on Friday the .vote of
thanks to Sir A. B. King and the Mansion-house
Cemmittee, for their conduct on the oc. a.,ion of the
King's visit, was cat tied only by a r .ajority of 10,
the numbers being—Ayes 50—Noes, 40. The
member of the corporation who br•.ught forward the
motion said he was induced to propose it, in hopes
that it would be negatived, a rumour having gone
abroad that within time laA two months the politics
of the city had cumin plot ly changed.

itiCTRAGES IS TILE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
The accounts from the county continue to be most
melancholy, and the pest seems spreadinir into most of
the adjacent counties. We collect the Mllotving
culars of the murder of Mr. Going, limn the journals
received on Monday :
On Sunday the I-4th inst. Richard Going, Esq. lately
in command oc the county of Limerick establishment
of lattice, Pelt that city about I I oclock in the morning
for Itatlikeal, on horseback, unattended, and was stop.
ped at the house of John Waller, Esq. of Castletown,
where he remained but a short time; front thene2 lie
proceeded by the road to Capp igh, and when near the
commons of Railtkeal, and from that town not distant
two miles, he was attacked by a Ist:tuber of di:111041S, 111
the shape of Mel', armed; several shots iu SUCCeSSiOII
were fired at him, which, tram the nature of the wounds,
must have instantly deprived him of life I Not content,
the blood-thirsty villains approached the lifeless body,
and, either with bludgeons or the butts of muskets, beat
hint desperately about the head. There could not have
many minutes elapsed after the murder, when the corpse
was found by the next passenFer; and the account of it
I having reached Ratlikeal, his mangled remains were
brought into that town about half-past four o'clock in
the art-critoon. There were five musket-ball wounds in
this body, one of which perforated his heat., several
superficial slug-wounds on the right side, two market
shots in the head—rote entered the left temple, the ear
split, and his face much bruised. The right arm was
al,o broken by a musket ball. Mr. Going, on leaving
H ittikeal, took a case of pistols in his coat pocket, which
it is SLINK/Sell he held willl him on his return, and were
taken by the murderers: he had a considerable sum of
money with him, which, with his watch remained un.
touched. . _

‘Ve are told so intent were they on the destruction of
this unfortunate gentleman, that parties were placed on
different roads to tneet hun (similar to the plan laid for
the murder of the late Mr. Baker), and that he was
even followed in anti out of Limerick for that purpose.

After the murder was effected, there was a joyous shout
through the country, which re-echoed front place to
place; lighted heaps of straw also were at night exhibited
on the different kills, in triumph of the accomplishment
of 'his horrid deed.

Mr. \Vilcocks, who, with Major %Warburton, were
in Rathkeal at the time the murder was announced,
des itched parties of police to Litneriek, with the me-
lancholy intelligence; and when they reached Barna-
'tine-bridge, on the boundaries of the liberties, they were
fired at several tunes front behind the ditches, 041 their
return home the next morning the same outrage was
repeated, and eleven shots discharged at them. On the
police arriving in Limerick, they repaired to the hou: t
of Mr. Cuthbert, the sub-sherid, to apprize hits of their
having been fired upon; when that very active and efi
cient officer instantly determined upon accompanying
them with military force, to apprehend, if possible, die
offenders; and for that pvirpose applied to the coai
mantling officer of the garrison, Col. Douglas, requiring
a party of dragoons: the Colonel answered " that Get -
Sir John Elley was expected next day to review me
troops, and that they could not be given." Coon tins
sohjeet we shall make no remark, as it will form matter
for investigation.
Oil the 17 la Mr. Going's remains reached Limerick,
and inelaocholy to relate, tinder military escort, on its
way tor interment in the family vault at Kiltura, near
Newport, comity of Tipperary. The procession was ai.
tended by a vast concourse of most respectable gentle.
met' from the surrounding counties, and a 111.111Wrous
train of tenantry.
On the 18th, at noon, as a person of some respec•
ability of the name of Spading, was proceeding on
horseb ick, accompanied by his wife, from Aslignive to
Newcastle, he was stooped at the cross roads, which
are distant AMU a mile from the latter pl ice, by au
armed banditti. One of than h.:ld the bridle of the
horse on which he rode. whilst another of the assassins
presented a blunderbuss, and discharged its cootehts nw
the body of the unfortunate man, who had been tit,
waylaid by the wretches. When the horse had been
stopped, the woman leaped Mt the pillion, and by her
presence of mind saved her life, as she was allowed
by the banditti to go towards Ashgrove. Mr. Spar.
ling, though dangerously wounded, did not fall
from his horse, but raising his whip, and exerting all
the strength which was left to him, he struck the ruffian
who held me bridle such a blow as brought die wretch
to the ground, and immediately spurring his horse, he
galloped towards Ashgrove. He stopped at Mr. Upton's
house, where surgical aid was immediately procure.,
but we are sorry to be obliged to add, that no hope was
then entertained of his recovery.
Mr. Spading was able, howevor, t.o %Wednesday, to
swear informations, and to give a minute description of
some of the assassins. lie described one of them as a
tall pale-faced man, and the "tiler as a person of a short
stature, dark visage, and pock-marked.
Two men were murdered last Twsclay night. One of
die,e untnounate Frions, a man of the name of Iris,
had hero a little proctor, aiid had lived neat Askeatob.
..titer %lethal was a titan names] Fitzgerald; but
what eircnoisi..nces had induced the assassins to tike
away his life was not publicly known.
l'he ;ionic of a Mr. Morgan, who lives near Stana-
goltieo, was attacked, hut that gentleman, with a spot
which we lament mit to see more general, bravely re-
sisted the banditti who demanded his arms, and soon
made them to take to flieht for s,bety.
Mr. Morgan neither killed nor wounded aoy one of
the banditti; but what he left tuition,: the law will seivii
complete, fur some of the party have been ap,rrebendtd
by the police, and safely lodged in prison,
