FURTHER M. TRAG ES.
From Tipperary, says the 'Moths Roaming Post, we have
a detail tit souse outfaces perpetrated in different parts of
that country. We add the following letter, which was
received at our office this morning. We can vouch for
the respectability of the quarter whence A has been
derived :
" NENAGIt, JAN. 10 .—This town is in a most dreadful
state at present, last night's transactions are more fright-
ful than any that have yet occurred : a party of the yeo-
men went to the turnpike to take Horan: Horan heard
dogs hark in the yard ; came out at the back door, and
was instantly secured by two )T01111'11; the remainder of
the party were in the limit, or streetn arils ; Horan seeing
lint two, then:shook himself from one, and whipped the
bayonet off the gun, and /stabbed Rea, a yeoman, through
the back, gave the oilier a box, and made oil; at this
time Horan's father, a man 89 years of age hearing some
noise in th street, opened the front door, put out his head,
partly exposing at the same time his body, to see what was
the matter, when one of the yeomen levelled his piece and
stint him through the abdominal viacora, which protruded
from the wound. This is the account in substance that
the old man gives of the taansaetion, so fat as he was con-
cerned. Fite wounded yeoman was taken into the house
of one Carson, and taken care of, but certain persons
being itteliamd to think that they were ill-disposed peo-
ple, arrested old Carson and his daughter, and lodged
them in gaol without a warrant, or bi high% them helots
Magistrate. The people in general are now driven
to
desperation, and we expect a general engagement with
the yeomen. If you were to hear the language of them,
as they now think they can get no law—what a town to
live in !

A LETTER FROM LISTOW Et., DATED JAN. 211..—" The
home of Mr. Ferdinand Lyne, of Itallyenesy, was attack-
ed for arms by a considerh:de number of White Boys.
Mr. Lyne happened to have two of his nephews, Lien-
tenant Stipple aid his brattier, in the house at the One.
They beat the party off in the must spirited manner, some
of w hom must have been killed, from the quantity of
blood seen in the yard in the morning, and one having
dropped and being taken away by the tellows about hint.
They left a fine blunderbuss. and some bats, shoes, Mc.
after them."
JAN. 27.—Another conflict took place 'Testes-
day between the military, commanded by Col. Mitchell,
and accompanied by Sir Nicholas Colthurst, Hart. and a
party of the Whiteboys, who had left the neighbourhood
of Dutnnanway, for the purpose of joining the main
body in the hilly country about Macroom. The result
was, as may be expected, the complete dispersion of the
band, after having two killed, several wounded, and a
great many taken prisoners, who were brought into Ma-
croom,and lodged in the castle.
Another engagement occurred between a party of the
rifle brigade, who had charge of some cars laden with
ammunition, which they were accompanying from Ma-
croom to Bandon, and a party of the same deluded peo-
ple, at a place called Clara Mountain, near Kilmurry, in
which sonic of the latter were k;lled and wounded.
011 Tuesday evening, upwards of twenty men, armed
with muskets, entered Curragh House, the scat of Sir A.
Hunt, Hart. Ott entering the kitchen door, they called
for the gardener, and having proceeded to the room where
he was, about ten of the gang took him by the neck, and
(bagged him out of the house into the yard, where others
of the party had previously secured toe steward. The
captain ordered them both to prepare for death; to take
oft their neck-handkerchiefs, and place them over their
eyes. The gardener, who is a Scotchman, requested to
know what they had done, and begged for mercy. The
captain replied, that they s ere too lojal for their em-
ployers, in preventing the poor people in these hard notes
from cutting the timber and takitig away turf, and that
they should suffer death for such behaviour.
After sonic time, however, a book was produced, and
the gardener was sworn to leave Curragh by the Ist of
February, or he should certainly suffer death. The ste-
ward, who is a native of the place, was more leniently
dealt with, as lie was only reprimanded, and cautioned
not to be so attentive in future. They were all disguised,
some having white liand::erchiefs tied round their heads,
and others with green and black veils tied close on their
faces.
Several house in Kilcullane and Ragainus were en-
tered and plundered on the night of Tuesday last, by an
armed Laotian, who demanded arms and ammunition.
The day following, Carew O'Grarty, Esq. attended by
the police di% isn't) quartered at ilerbertstuwn, made an
active search fur arssia, which ouniinued from 7 o'clock
in the evening to I f the next morning, and succeeded Ist
taking a blunderbuss, two muskets, a carbine, a pistol,
three bayonets, and two powder-horns, together with a
quantity of Hints, slogs, and bullets.
Tile house of Mr. Ferditiaml Leyne, of Ballyhennesy,
was attacked out Tuesday slight by a numerous banditti.
Lieut. Kerry Supple, and Isis brother, Mr. James Stipple,
were in the house with Mr. Leyne. The ruffians de-
manded the arias, awl received au immediate refusal
from Lieut. Supple.

A shot was in consequence fired at hint, which grazed
his lip; a volley was fired in return from Mr. Leyne's
party into the midst of the banditti, and a continued fire
kept up for some lime on both sides. Two of the ruf.
fisns were seen to fall, and a retreat speedily ensued. A
blonderbier:, a great coat with blond on it, a pair of
shoes, &n. were left ottlund by these mis;miticd men.
Mr. Leyne is sure that two of the assailants were
killed, and several wounded, as many traces of blood
were discovered on the road.
On Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock, the house
of Mr. Henry Oliver (within half a mile or the town of
Castleisland, o here a military detachment is now sta-
tioned) was attached by upwards of 200 ruffians, who
robbed it of 14 or If, stand of arms, whicn they carried
off its triumph.
In the neighbourhood of Listowel constant outrages
are committed. A few nights since Ballyhorgan llouse,
the seat of W. R. Hillard, Esq. was attacked, and arms
demanded. The neighbourhood of Killarney is also
much disturbed: on Monday night about 205) ruffians
went through Lord Kenmore's demesne, and proceeding
to the house of his Lordship's park-keeper, deprived him
of sonic arms and about nine promisor gunpowder.
its consequence of the non-arrival on Thursday even-
ing, in Tralee, of the mail coach from Cork, it was
determined to send the mail irons Tralee to Cork, on
Friday morning, by a special messenger. Accordingly
a Mr. Brereton, head clerk to the proprietor of the mad
coach, set out from 'crake on Friday morning, at six
o'clock, on horseback, with the mail bags, and attended
by one of the assistants belonging to the office. On their
arrival at a place called Tockbeg, which is situate about
twelve miles beyond Killarney, on the road to Cork, they
were surrounded by a numerous party of the insurgents,
who commenced their horrible outrages by mortally
wounding the horse which Mr. Brereton rode. They
then dragged the unfortunate man to the ground, and
after having wounded him in several places with pikes
and bayonets, finished the atrocious crime by severing
his head from his hotly with a blow of a scythe affixed
to a pole, or billet of wood. The person who accompa-
nied hint was taken prisoner ; but, in the confusion of
the moment, he was so fortunate as to snake his escape.
He brought the first account of this horrible act to
Tralee.
Du bLtkr, JAN. 28.—We learn, with great affliction,
that there has been a most serious affray : .ween the
military and the insurgents, near Kanturk. The troops
were commanded by Gen. Sir John Lambert. it is
stated that the insurgents had thirteen men, killed, and
it is said that the army also suffered, but not so consider-
ably. The country between Millstreet and Macroom
may be said to be in possession of the insurgents.
We have just learned that an affair has occurred in the
neighbourhood of Millstreet, betweeii the peasantry and
a part of the rifle brigade. The pea-anrry attacked the
house of a manor the name of Armit. While the attack
was going, on, a party of the rifle brigade came up. The
peasantry retreated ; but on a signal given, rushed down
the hill. The military fired, and killed six—the remain-
der fled in disorder, and thirty are said to have been
made prisoners.
KILKENNY, JAN. 29.—We are concerned to state,
that at six o'clock on Sunday evening, the house of Mr.
Max, of Garreencreen, within a mile of this city, was
entered ly a number of armed Well, who forced their
way through the kitchen into the parlour, where the
family (with the exception of Mr. Max, who has been
for some time indisposed) were assembled at tea. One
of the miscreants, on opening the door, without declar-
ing the object of his visit, or uttering a word, discharged
a pistol, the contents of which, we regret to say, lodged
in the erns of Mr. Max, jun. The elder gentleman, on
hearing the report, immediately came down stairs, when
he was isset by another of the villains, who, placing a
pistol to his breast, peremptorily demanded his arms.
!sere was no alternative but to comply, and the fellows
succeeded in obtaitting two fowling pieces, with which
they departed. Information of this injamous transaction
was soon conveyed by some of Mr. Max's neighbours to
Henry Wetnys, Esq. Mayor, who, its the most prompt
and spirited moaner, accompanied by our High Consta-
ble and a party of tire rifle brigade, hastened to the spot,
and commenced an immediate search, which was con-
tinued till towards morning, but without being fortunate
enough to come up with any of the party.
The ball entered Mr. Max's wrist, and is lodged near
his elbow. We understand it will be extremely difficult
to extract it. However, under the skilful treatment of
Surgeon Pack, we have every hope of his doing well.
TstaLza,JAM. 96.—We greatly lament to see that the
wild and insurrectionary spirit of our deluded peasantry
suffers no diminution whatever, and that the accounts of
new and daring outrages succeed each other with little
intermission. To what extremity their measures would
proceed, if permitted with impunity, we know
they would vainly design setting at open defiance the
laws and authorities of the land, we would recommend
them, with the most cordial concern for the happiness
and welfare of our country, to refer to the History of
Ireland, but a few years back, for a memorable
proof of
the folly and extra‘agance of such an effort, when she
fatal and Await e experiment was tried, with a loss, it is
calculated, of 80,000 lives, between the contending par-
ties; whether there was any thing sought for by the
mal-contents in that barbarous strife which could,
in
any degree, compensate for such a waste of human
blood, the most enthusiastic of the day would now, we
hope, hate no difficulty in answering. 'lnc result, how.
ever, was de.etu, ,ad, us might be expected, no small
degree of misery or desolation to the rash and heedless
insurgents.
As the communication between this town and Cork
is completely interrupted, we are principally indebted to
the accounts through Limerick this morning, fur what-
ever information we at present prissess As soon as it
was known in Killarney that the arrival of the coach had
been prevented by the assemblage of a body of In
