KILESINY, Ave. 31.—We regret to state that the
system of nocturnal outrage which so deeply disgraced a
portion of this county during the last winter and spring
seasons to be reviving. It is now our pailiful duty to
record two acts of atrocity committed by ruffians, acting
nodes this abominable system, nue of the leading itsgu-
lati tttt sof winch is, that no persons shall take ground or
acqlstre property in any other place but that of his nail-
vityl--i-Oise engin last week the tongue of a row grazing
0111 the lauds ol Ka.larney. near TOOMASIO%VII, was cut
out—the poor owner's only Ctl ii e was his bar tug taken
th.- after grass for tile season. Oil S lay night last, a
house e:1 on the MISS mid leading Irons commit
to Knocktoplier. was set OH lire, and totally consumed.
ire could slot have been accidental, as no person
was then residing in it. It had been lately let, with a
small farm adjoining it, by John Prim of Chainlizod,
and who inte,..ted removing to it in a few days. Took
who k the character which Mr. Prim bears amongst
11,11 tenants and neighbours, will not for a moment con-
ceive that this outrage was the consequence of personal
%milky or to hilts; and Deloughry dues not
think Mat he has a personal enemy in the country.—
'1 ois criminal act, then, could have been committed
only fur the purpose of preventing his occupying the
farm which had been tatty's. and io pursuance of the
code of laws (rained by those mitliM,lit les.islators. It
is conjectured that the act was co ttttttt ited at a very late
hour, as Major Nicholson, with a party of the police,
passed near toe spot after eleven o'clock, and it was sub-
sequently passed sly Lieutenant Aim and a party of the
bl Juliet volunteers, who patrolled that part of the
mammy until lour o'clock on Monday morning.
Part.es of the corps patrol the country for some miles
round, aluioas ev,ry night since the Insurrection Act
Was enforced. Upon one occasion the patrol arrested
three persons under circumstances which induced Lord
Carrick to send them into she county of Kilkenny for
trial ; and the same party who had spent the iiigut in
patroling, volunteered to escort the prisoners to town,
a distance of nine miles. They were actpinied ; and so
conscious were they that the patrol had only dune their
duty io arresting them, and so grateful were they for
such acts of kindness, under the circumstances she ()dicer
commanding the party had it in his power to confer, that
after their acquittal they remained in town until even-
ing, in order to accompany those so lately their punts
to the country, and actually pressed them to partake of
refreshments on the toad.

Cittin STExt.txo.—The following article appeara in •Georgia
paper, under tho bead' of Milledgeville, dated April 4th :
•' At the last term of Watson Superior Court, a man by the
name of John W right, was tried tar aching as a alave, a female
about two years old, i'.at had been placed in his hand,
by its toothier fur nurture. it appeared in evidence that Lie
child hal very Milk hair •rid complexion, and was imposed
upon the purchaser as a Mulatto or Indian ; Mr it was repre-
sented to 111111 by the hell's, that it had bees obtained in the
Indian nalian. As ion other crime iu the pens code applied to
the case, W right was indicted fur false impri►onmeut, was
convicted, and received the higheet pnnisliment Luown to this
lest hirmoe. be bill of sale from 11•nght to the purchaser
was introduced in evidence, by which he had doomed to per-
petiil servitude an ineiridual born as free as himself. 'floe
following are the remarks of Judge Clayton at the time of
passing the seutenee of the Court nu, J. Wright, have
been indicted and Mind guilty of a charge, which, in its con-
sequences, will embitter Remy a future hour of your life. Yon
are an old man, and iu that very term, with, reference to your
present situation, is contained much cause for self reproach.—
lostead of employing the riminaJt of a life, long preserved to
rani M deed* which woulu have taken from old age many of
its pangs, you have indiscreetly stepped aside to the perpetra-
boa of an act, which, in point of wicked and cruel tendency,
contemns ail description. In your conviction, the jo-tiee of
your country is eatistied, and your crime, which before was
odious, is now changed to • misfortune that entitles you to pity.
It is therefore not the intention of this Court to mock your
distress ; its motive is good. Your own reformation, and the
usefulness of your example, is surely all that now belongs to
your m'serable condition. And so Carus the one can be obtained,
or the other can be profitable, you might to offer yourself •
willing and an atoning subject of public: reproof. Yon will be
shortly separated froth your aged wile, who, during the trial
serous to have hung around you 'loader feelings of the mold
lively concern ; and while yon leave her and your family, per-
haps to sulfering, you will he removed to a piece where you
will be deprived of their tender consolations, and where no
ailectionate hand will be ready to render t'.e usual comforts in
sickness, or to soften the cares of a sleepless bed ; and where
no cheering and domestie converse will be offered to beguile
the medium of your servitude ; but where you will be sur-
rendered over to an association with the most varied and most
abandoned profligacy, sod, what it still more to be dreaded,
to the kuetr piereings of a restless renter,. But when you
reflect that you will only suffer for a short season what you
wished and intended to iullict for life, upon an innocent and
helpless object, how just must you consider your sentence !
Yours will he a temporary hondia-,e, but hers was to have been
endured through life, and perhaps throtiOs all her posterity:
Where was your humanity when its tender age and more helo-
less sex were pleading with you for protection? Where was
your conscience when you were about to violate generous con-
fidence t This infant had been placed in your band* by an un-
fortunate mother, fur nurture mid education ; and you were to
receive your reward, if not in the sentimehts of an appioviug
bosom, at least in the future service,' or the child. Tors bast
you base most shamefully abused, by attempting to make a
sieve of this friendless innocent. \1 bile the consequences of
your crime ere to be deplored, so far as they reach to sour
friends and fetidly, they o ill never perbepe escite a sympathetic
emotion towards yourself. Your punishment will be peculiarly
appropriate to your transgression ; but whenever it sorely
press:s, remember you aimed a similar anguish at an object
much less able to bear it. It is probable your cave will create
bet one regret—that your per ishment cannot be greater."
On IVeduesday last, as the Alexander light .ioat coach, from
Liverpool to London, was passing through Warrington, the
coach by some 'evident overturned : there were at the time
three gentle;den and a lady 'outside, who wy ie th,own with
great violence on the road ; the lady bad her collar-bone
broken, and was otherwise much bruised : she was taken to
Northwieh, where she now lies in a dangerous state. 'Doe
gentlemen were also materially injured ; one had his hip dis-
located, another his head much bruised, end the third was
likewise very much hurt. They were iu consequence unable
to proceed larther than Barton. 'tie inside pasaengeis did
nut sustain any injury.
Tits RETORT CoußTitous.—A member of one
of the learned professions was driving his dennet along the road
at Tooting, in Surrey, when be overtook a pedlar, with his
pack, and inquired what he had to sell. The man produced
among other things a pair of cotton hraces—the gentleman paid
the money, and then said, " You have, I suppose, a vise."
1"--e—s," was the reply, lieeitatingly. " I should Ike
to see it." Aft,r some further &lay it was produced. " yly
good fellow, all's right I see. Now as I ho not want these
things, you shall have thern again for threepence." The har-
gain was struck ; but how surprised was the tourist to find a
summons to attend the County Magistracy, sitting at Croydon.
The gent,etuan was cm:sided in the full penalty, for sellieg
goods in the King's highway without a hawker's license—he is
a Inwycr!

A remarkable instance of the !wildness nd ferocity of the
sparrow• bank was witnessed nt Marla Deering on Sumoey
bust. Just as the congregation were teturning iqp divine ser-
vice in the altiiiumm, a hawk of this above-millitioned geous
mode a stoop at a iiwitdow which had alighted is the centre of
the aural ; sod notwithstanding the sum:arming spectators,

entiy tutu tae *tr.
