IREIAND.
Durittl,r, FEN. 4 —Saturday morning, about three
u‘s..l,,ck, the house of Michael Hany, who is a steward
of c ire-taker to a gentleman residing at Balgadtly, at the
I 'itti Lock Grand Canal, was entered by eight men,
vv Ito, after breaking Fond destroying every article in the
,retinae', set the whole on fire; all was burned to the
smund. They also stabbed a cow and a calf in the out-
house; broke in pieces a valuable jaunting car, and
strewed about, irrecoverably, a quantity of oats; it is
believed, not less tlutit 20 barrels. Lest their vengeance
:nookd nut be complete, they also took care to see these
totally consumed before they depart, d. A carpenter, of
the name of Daniel Meehan, has been taken into cus-
tody and completely identified, and sworn to as one of
the incendiaries. While the flames were at their height
this man was heard to exclaim—" Here I am, Captain
Rock!" He is now a t the Bead-olfice, and, it is tw-
clerstood, a most rigid investigation will take place into
the whole circumstances to-day. It is rumoured that

the Dublin Stair have made two more prisoners.
A post had been established ar Churchtown, a village
not far frotr. Doneraile, county of Cork, where a party
4,4' police was stationed—the house they occupied was
thatched; it was surrounded by a large number of the
Insurgent 11'intehoys, and set on fire. The stable ad-
joining the house, where the horses of the party were
kept were also set on fire. The police front within kept
tip a constant firing, which it is presumed must have
killed awl wounded a great many of the assailants; but
the fire increased until the roof fell. The Police, fore-
seeing this casualty, were prepared, and having come
out, continued the fire; the Insurgents returned the fire,
but they were at length compelled to give way, and
leave the Police in possession of the ground—but the
victory was dearly bought. Of the whole party, consist-
ing, it is believed, of sixteen men, lour were killed and
eleven wounded. The chief constable was among the
wounded: both of his arms were broken, and be was
otherwise bodily injured. All the horses, with their
accoutrements, were burned in the stable. On their
retreat, the insurgents carried off 'their killed and wound-
ed ; among diem was the body of one of the policemen,
which they took away by mistake; it was found next
morning in a ditch, at souse distance from the scene of

action.

We have some itightful additions to make tills day to
the revolting detail, already be tore the public, of motes
committed in our distracted country. 'lite following
statement has reached us by a private letter :—At a vil-
lage named Teo ryglass, near /3orrisukane, county Tippe-
silty, in a chstiict hitherto peaceable, the cattle of a far-
mer named Boland were driven under a decree. The
constables were attacked by the peasantry, the cattle
rust ued, and one of the men named Larkins killed 1
BARBAROUS MURDER OF"
Rat li MA JO HARE.
kea Rl e, F eb. I.
" beg leave to acquaint vou, that lasi night,
about the hour of twelve, the house. of Major Hare, of
Mount Henry, about three miles front this town, was
attacked and entered by an armed party, who immediately
proceeded up the Major's bed room, when it is supposed
they met some resistance, and they murdered him. He
ass shut through we body across the chest, the ball
entering at the right side, and passing out at the left.—
,They took three excellent gnus from the house, and
posse ammtstsition. His wile was in the room the whole
mute; they murdered him in the louby. Major Hare
was a gentleman of the utmost affability, was a long
period in his Majesty's seivice, and has lelt a large family
to deplore his melancholy murder."
TRALEE, Fes, 2 —We have great pleasure in stating,
that we received an account last night, by the mail-
that nine persons charged with being iniioicated in this
base and cowardly murder, have been apprehended and
brought into Killarney, and are to be this day sent for-
ward to the county gaol.
" CHARLEVILLE, FEB. i.—Last night, before ten
o'clock, a large body, well armed, attacked three houses
in the village of Churchtown, six miles from hence, in
which sixteen men and five horses, belonging to Major
Carter's police, were quartered. It appears that the po-
licemen shade a gallant defence, and did not surrender
till their ammunition was nearly exhausted, and the
house (which was thatched) in flames about them, when
they cause out to gi%e up their arms. Two were shut
dead on the spot ; one is missing, supposed to be killed ;
five wounded, three severely, having broken arms—
sultana them, Mr. Lunbdeta, chief constable; and one
dangerously.
As soon as it could be done with safety, the wounded
Were brought in o Mr. ClOll.l, house, where they lectived
every kind and hit nape attention their unfornonatesini-
enion required. The five bursts were burned to death
in their stable. Tie firing and coutlagration were heard
and seen at a great distance. After this work of horror
was completed, the air resounded for souse time with
shouts of triumph ; Dr. Bernard, woo dressed the
wounded this stunning, and attended the inquest
es ellitt;, has furnished toe with these particulars, on the
ulna 4)1 which you may rely."

We regret to state, that some serious of hate oc-
curred in the Barony of lniiishowett, County of Done-
gal, between the revenue police and the country i.eople.
It is known to all our readers kliat limishowen is fatuous
fur illicit distillation. The officer conaniandina the
revenue police, having received information concerning
certain stills, went with his party to seize them. The
peasintry offered fierce resistance, and we regret to state
appear to have been too successful. The officer had his
arm Iractured, and six of the police are said to have been
killed. The particulars have not yet reached us,
we believe the reader may rely on the foregoing
statement.
(From the Dublin Morning Post of Tuesday last )
There have lien sonic threalettinic notices pu•ted at
different places oh the county—one, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy, was posted on a barn gate, belonging
to a man named Patrick Toole ; it was turn down by
the Rev. Mr. Keenan, Parish Priest :

" NOTICE TO JOHN ROURKE.
66 That if he does not, against the Ist of February,
1822, pay his men at lourteen-pence a day, employ them
as usual, from six in the morning until six in the night,
and also turn that monster Malty out •f his employ n►ent,
that his concerns will be burned. It is requested that
Mr. Pat. Toole shall not tear this notice down, as he
did before, or any other person; if they do let them abide
the consequence.

DISPERSION OF A PARTY OF WHITE BOYS,
AND DEATH OF THEIR LEADER.
A numerous banditti commenced their lawless pur-
suits in the neighbourhood of Castlegregory last night,
311 d we are happy to hear, me: with another of those
spirited repulses which they have generally encountered
in this county. William Twiss, Esq, of Tullareen,
having received information that a banditti had deter-
mined to attack and burn his house on Thursday night
last, prepared himself for defence. As his house was
thatched, he thought it adviseable to take post outside
is, within a wall, and there avant the arrival of the ban-
ditti. He had not been long in this position, attended
by his son, and we believea toad person, when he heard
the gang breaking into a neiblibouring house, and
shortly after he saw them, to the number of VOn, ap-
proach his own. He immediately dared them to conic
on, when a shot was fired at I ' , which was instantly
returned, and a smart fire kept up. The terrified ruf-
fians soon became confused, and began to fly, at which
time Mr. Twist's small party clued on them, and
taking delibera►e aim at the nearest of his assailants, he
killed him on the spot. All the rest of the party now
fled, but Mr. Twiss's son pursued then►, and succeeded
in taking two prisoners. The person who was killed
proves to be a fellow of the name of Casey, the son of a
farmer in that neighbourhood, above the ordinary class.
A bayonet was found on his person. The two prisoners
were brought into town last night, by collector Twits
and a parry of dragoons.
Nearly one thousand persons came yesterday, to Mr.
Twiss's house to see the body of the deceased Casey.—
Mr. Christie, commanding the Water Guard in that
neighbourhood, promptly reinforced Mr. Twiss's small
party, and the multitude were cautioned against maul-
testing the smallest symptom of violence ; after which
the dead body of Casey was given up to them.
, A party of the Kerry Start were ordered yesterday to
. Tullarees, where they are to be stationed.
