GENERAL ELF.CIiON.

Accounts from Cork, by yesterday's Mail, an-
nounce the resigifistion of Colonel Long&ld.

DREADFUL OUTRAGE AT ARMAGH.

The events related in the following extract of a
letter from Armagh, will not, we are persuaded, be
pawed unheeded by the Irish Government:—
" It was, it appears, damned necessary by Mr.
Caulfield's friends that fie also should be chaired, un-
der the idea that if any Petition on his part would
succeed in the House of Commosir, he should at once
take his seat, a Member complete, with all ancient
forms and ceremonies already fulfilled. A Chair,
therefore, was provided, and both procersions
paraded the streets at one time. As Mr. Brown.
low's adherents ascended Scotch-street, the others
nearly met them, but a sudden tiro sip Tho-
elms.street prevented a collision. However, their
nietual hums probably irritated the parties,
though their resentment did not instantly break
forth, being rimmisied fur a time by the good cheer
received in the houses open on the OCCII6IOIy and, by
some barrels of strong beer distributed to them in the
streets. But this, instead of quenching, only fed the
latent flame, and about seven in the evening, groorpes
passed through the streets, vociferating " Caulfield
for ever!" The cry was returned with a 'along
counter-cry from Mr. Browulow's houses. From
one of these (Sonierville's, in Scotch-street) a
charge was Merle, but so ineffectual that the men
were glad to take shelter in the house, and one man
who conspicuously wielded a piece of iron tire with
such destructive force, had it wrested from him, and
ran in with bloody record on his face tom his own
weapon. Stones now flew against the house in every
direction ; some panes were broken, and the affray
began to take a serious aspect, for a blunderbuss
was pointed from an upper window, and ammo'''.
lion hastily handed front below by one of the band.
Inert who had been entertained at a house adjoining.
Stones still flew, and two shots were fired, which ow-
casioised the assailing mob to retire to the inn, where
the Members and their numerous friends were at a
public dinner. This gradual retiring gave heart to
the besieged, who now sallied forth, headed by the
Lands of the Monaghan militia, and of the 84d
reginsent, which arrived only at Armagh on the
morning of that day. These drew their swords,
were joined by several straggling soldiers who used
their bayonets, and soon, with a desperate violence,
insole good their way. Many persons were seriously
wounded, and the mob driven back beyond the
Market-house. There they rallied, and returned a
;dreadful missile shower. Meanwhile the bands used
indiscriminate rage against bye-standers, unit even
• against several 'of Mr. Brownlow's friends who
came out of the house. Col. Blacker very nar-
rowly escaped out of their hands. They at first re-
fused obeying. the commands of several Officers
who hid arrived, and were endeavouring to pacify
them. These Gentlemen, however, at last
suc-
erected, with great difficulty, in restoring order.
" Mr. Close. the Sheriff, now sent an order re-
quiring military mid. Two detachments were fur-
iiislied, which were each met and directed by a
Magistrate, who desired the officer commanding
the first detachment to fix bayonets, and advance
in doehle quick time.
" In the mean while a few shot, were fired by an
individual front the corner of Mr. Sproull'.. forte-
is '44 without effect, and the abrading mob became
so few, mid appareutly so very insignificant, that
some iiihabitaiits of the town went forward, and by
threats and good words nearly succeeded in entirely
disperring them. But, alas! this pleasing prospect
soon changed. The troops advanced, with a victo-
rirous cry from the Mob who accompaiiied them, and
so rapidly, that they charged all
.where they came,,
pike-makers mud • peace-breakers. A men had
struck Kidd in the fate with a stone, he was
immediately seised by Mr. Kidd. Mr. John Pren-
tice, jun. a very hue youug Min, was assisting in
driaiuint the Prisioner, with his back to the sol-
diers, olieu he was run through the body with a
bayonet. whose point visibly protruded through
the front of his waistcoat. He ran with his bands
covering hi* wounds to an adj g house.
" Several other gentlemen narrowly escaped
serious injury, and the unfortunate isidividwils of
the Cotillion' pity who were chased and caught,
after suffering the moat brutal treatment, were
taken in charge, and nice of them committed to
prison.
The scene was really now awful. Soldiers
formed below the market-house ; others at the
upper part of the hill, while the adherents of the
member's party hunted out several of the poor
creatures, who had taken refuge iu yards and
entries. These were beaten, as before observed,
with a cruelty that can admit of no palliation. By
degrees the storm subsided. and, mast provi-
dentially, amongst such a scene of riot and con-
fusion no lives were lost, though several ioellll3llll
were severely wounded, and Mr. Prentice lies in a
