[From the Dublin Patriot of Oct. 5.
•
We fear we must prepare our readers for the approach of
scenes of the most dreadful character. In the southern parts
of the country the work of murder, plunder, and devastation
has again commenced, and, as may be collected from the sub
joined accounts, seems to have its origin in a regular and
deeply organised system, one of the objects of which, as these
iv:roams snake conclusively manifest, is the destruction of the
Chords Establishment. It is in vain to disguise the fact. There
appears a grneraleonibination among a large and desperate por-
tion of the southern population to enforce the reasonings of en
infamous press, by the plunder of the clergy ; by withholding
from them their legal and just rights, and by the destruction, to
these cads, even of the blessings of a rich huvest, bestowed in
nserey lo oar late wants, by our benign Creator ! How -far
such a system is likely to succeed, the deluded miscreants who
engage in it are soon fated to see.
[Front the Clawed Advertiser.]
Ott Sunday night last a dwelling house on the lands of Ros-
iest.* n, near Tburles, together with a quantity of wheat, was
burned, we have every reason to suppose mslicluusly. The
house was occupied by one Miles Hough, who as well as bis
wife, son, and a man named Carroll, narrowly escaped. On
being awoke by the barking of a dug and the lowing of a sow,
they discovered the house in dames, sad had merely time to
escape when the roof tell in.
[From the Cork Censtilatitue]
We regret to state, that the system of nocturnal ming,
is extending into other districts in this coonty„bitherto re-
markable fin. quietness. On the night of Sunday the 22d ult.
a cow, the property of John Hudson, within one mile of Yougnal,
was houghed ; and on the mine night, the corn of a poor man
nailed Cronlin, on the lands of Burgess, near Killeagii, in the
same district, was set on lire and totally cotwined.
Monday night, two stacks of corn, one of *beat, the other of
eats, were maliciously burnt at Dallynamons.
On Saturday night Captain Keppach and a party of the 22d
'regiment. under his command, with some police, detected a
amisiderable quantity of fire arms iu the neighbourhood of
Newmarket.
RENEWED DISTURBANCES.
The following resolutions have been entered into by the
magistrates assembled at the Mallow Special Sessions
We the undersigned magistrate* assembled at the Special
Sessions at Mallow. on the meth of September instant, under the
'owns:Won Act. have observed with extreme regret and disap•
piitotnient. that the spirit of disturbance, which we hoped lord
been extinguished, still continues to exist among the
.yemantry,
and to manifest itself in acts of outrage and in venous
parts of ibis country.
" That scarcely a night passes in which some malicious de-
struction of property by the doci not take place.

That the ProperijisoriestMyea; is, in- general, corn or hay,
seaport for tithe, it belonging to persons who have made an
agreement with the tithe proctor.
• That the wickedness of these acts can be equalled only by
their folly, because the law will give compensation to the indivi-
duals against vivito the attack is directed, and the loss will fall
upon the parish or bagony to which the incendiaries, for their own
ashes can intend ho injury.
.• That we pledge ourselves to inquire minutely into the par-
ticulars of each occurrence of this kind which loos happened, or
which may happen, in our respective neighbourhood, and to
give veiny Ithablallee in our power to those persons who may
Alive to seek compensation fur such louse, proviikd their conduct
oar the occasion shall appear to have been fair ;and manly ; but
thine persons whose behaviour has been such as to give encou-
ragement to this system of outrage, rather than to suppress it,
and those in particular who have put their tithe out of their bag-
genie. after Whig ones brought in, can expect no aid or sympathy
from us.
• That we pledge ourselves to give liberal rewards for iofor-
station which may lead to the detection of persons guilty of such
outrages, and observe the strictest secrecy, it require!.
e' If any persona entertain an expectation that they will be able
to efr.et their relief from the paymeutuf tithe by these or any other
aces of violence, they are grossly mistaken ; on the contrary, the
commission of such outrages may justly be urged us one of the
strongest reasons fur refusing to take the subject ever, into consi-
deration at present ; and we should hope it is only necessary to
these circumstances to the respectable tanners of the county, to
ensure their support and co operation in putting an end to this
abominable system."

other highly respectable Magistrates.l
Ooe night last week a very estensive haggard, belonging to
Mr. Hellenism wis attenipted to be destroyed by setting lire to
the centre stack. The smoke was discovered before it had
ignited, by some of his neighbours, who immedistely apprised
Dir. fie/ennui of it, and tendered their assistance in throwisg
diria awl maiming 'the rest of the stack, which with the help
of others immediately in Mr. Ilellernan's employment, they
succeeded in getting done, without any further loss than one
stack.

examination in Dublin, by Sir Henry Meredjth, were subse-

Armagh. The proceedings io the Metropolitan Coon have
already coinnumcetl. Ttte Lord Primate and assisting Bishops
have heel sitting during the last few days; and before these
right reverend personages, the regular examination of the ac-
cusing witnesses has taken place. This part of the process will,
it is understood, terminate to•morrotv. The course which fol-
lows next will occupy, perhaps, about 10 days more. The eo-
clesiastical law has peculiar filial //, and directs intervals be-
tween the publication of the charge against the accused pasty,
the examination of witnesses, and the other distinct parts of the
proceedior's. Judgment will be pronounced, it is communicated
to us, either on the laths or 14th Memo. Of course, no doubt

privation will lib officially promulgated. The Bishop of Clogher

times, sad said the rope was ready en board Go schooner for
banging him, if he did not immediately deliver np his property,
and all monies on board, the ship's manifest papers,.and parcels,
whiob they tore to pieces and threw about the deck; they took
all the Captain's money, plate, two gold watches, oae silver
ditto cheonoineter, sextant, charts, writing desk, with all its
papers ; they then proceeded to Messrs. Peddes and Swint,
who delivered op all their property, but having suspicion that
Mr. Stuart had money concealed below, they beat him cruelly
with a naked wend, threatening his life ; during which time
another boat came alongside, hill of armed men ; they then
ordered the crew up from below, and desired' the Captain to
follow their schooner in towards theme, and get the anchor
ready ; is the act of the sailers getting the iron cable front
below, they cruelly beat and cat them. They ran the ship un
a reef, as the crew were cutting the anchor from the bows ;
they then ordered the hatches to be taken ofl; and all the mitre •
to be hoisted so deck, part of which they lowered into the boat.
—They ordered the ship's company to unbend fore and amain
gallant sails, flying gib, &c. and took sails from sail-room,
colours, awning !rum inarter-deck, &o.; they eves ordered
boom and irons from aloft, with a quantity of running rigging,
blocks and tackle ; likewise safer, beef, pens, and other pro.
visions, with candles, paints. and two compasses, and plun-
dered the coins of all its stores, breaking and destroying every
thing that came to band, still continuing their cruelty ; they
*cde the whole ail the Captain's wearing apparel, beds and linen.
Messrs. Fedden and Smart were served in the same manner,
nor were the ship's company exempt; the steward, being a
black, was served in a most shocking manner, by bring cut and
stabbed in several places ; they rassecked the ship fere and
all, and took all the live stock, wines, &c., destroyed the medi
tines, and were about continuing further devastation whew
bailed from the schooner to board a brig to leeward ; they left
as then, and proceeded to the brig ; during all this lime the
ship was beating very heavily on the reef, and it required the
greatest exertion of Captain and crew to get her off, which she
did at 10 p.m. after being obliged to slip her cable. Lat. 28.

The Felix', Capt. Coady, arrived at Bristol, wan chased
near the Havaamili, during the whole night and day, by a alls.•
vicious looking vessel , she spoke the Edit-gird Psotheros whilst
the above schooner was in sight ; other ships had also been
chased, which induced the Captains to present a memorial to
the senior racer of his Majesty lying in the Havannah :
On waiting on Sir Robert Mends, he with great alacrity,
and at the request of Captain Reddie, sent an eflice r and 30
men on board the Thisbe, for the protection. or the ships during
the night, and ordered the Tyres sloop of war to sail before
day, and coolie), the ships through the Gulf.
The Captains consider themselves much indebted to Sir R.
Mends, for the prompt manner in which he afforded them every
protection.
Captain. Popplewell spoke the brig Blacken, Capt. Smith,
on the 13th. Captain Hearn, of the brig Viitutia, was pas-
senger, who stated that his brig, as well as the F:meleovusir,
were taken by a piratical schooner off the Saddle Hills.
Since the above, we have information, that the brig which
was plundered, put into Havanoah, and that Sir R. Mends
sent her out spin, with a compliment of men, when the pirates
bort down, and a number of them having conte on board, were
all taken and hung immediately. The schooner was also taken.

The following letter appeared on Wednesday last,
on the board at Lloyd's:—
•' Admiralty Office, Oct. 9, 1822.
Sta,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty your letter of the 7th jest, respecting the capture of
two British weasels, the Vittoria anti lostlostry, by a piratical
schooner, near the island of Cuba, I am commanded ►y their
Lordships to acluaint you, fur the in'Onnation i.f the Commit-
tee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that their Lordships
hail already received an account of that trausactiore from Capt.
Walcot, of his Majesty's sloop Catruetion, who had been di-
rected by Rear-Admiral Bewley, to tale up a station in that
neighbourhood for the protection of the trade, and who writes,
under date of the 12th of August, that on that day 17 trail of
the Jamaica ships had passed safely round Cape Antonio, and
that be was waiting iu that quarter to sec the remaining vessels
also safe.
" Ilia Majesty's stoop Dotterel was also in the neighbour-
hood ; and Sir Charles Rowley reports, that his attention lias
been directed to this quarter. In addition to which, my Lords
hare taken further measures for the suppression of these pi-
caries. " I am, Sir,

OZALIC ACID AND EPSOM SALTS.—The
sim-
plest, and at the same time readiest modes of distinguishing the
poisonous infusion from the genuine one, is to take a common
table knite, perfectly clean and dry, and dip the point of it to the
extent of about an inch in tile dissolved crystals, and then lay it
over the glass or cup, exposed to the atmospheric air, for about a
minute. If the solution is that of Lpsom salts, the blade will
not change its hue; but if, on the &misery, oxalic acid, it will
infallibly turn black. A moment's reflection on the common
elfixts °lapilli: or lemon juice (weak acids) on steel, will suggest
to every one toe truth of this communication.
The will of the late Sir W. Herschel, Knt. (of the

BULL-11AITIN0.—A case of bull-baiting came
under the consideration of the magistrates of Aylesbury on the
2istii ult. It appeared, that on the Wednesday preceding all
cthe
rabble of Aylesbury and its vicinity, even to 'Phone, al^
leehil in the elegant entertainment of bull baitiiy4.—Lord Na'
gent with inclined to avoid abridging any of the indulgences of
the lower classes where they could be legally permitted. lilt
Lonlship proceeded to show that though in certain cases the
practice is indictable as a nuisance, yet as the law now stands,
Pull-baiting in itself is certainly legal. In proof of this he
referred to the ancient statute of James I. as well as to certain
tenures, and noticed above all that there are charters in which it
is specified, and on the strength of which the practice is, in the
1 aces covered by them, necesaatily continued.

MOUSE OF COMMONS.

Very ostensive repairs and alterations of the Month of Com-
atose are sow in progress. The House is in • state of more
couiplete dilapidation tLaa it ass bee• fur many years. It 'is
occupied with scalloldisg sod workmen. The cushion's of the
benches, Ministerial and Opposition, as well as those under the
gallery, where Peers' and Members' sons, Authaseadors, and
other foreigners of distinction, are admitted to sit to bear the
debates, have been entirely removed ; also the secondary
coverings of the beaches ; all bate bees conveyed to what is
twilled the " Long Gallery," which leads to the upper er throne
and of the House of Lords. They are there beiagcrerovated.—
The beeches and steps leading to them are in many instances
Wag altered and repaired, so as to increase their conitoodi-
owsisess.
The scaffolding is mainly raised with the view of promoting
some very extensive alterations in the ceiling, and in the mode
of ventilating the House. Between the ceiling and the roof is
*large gallery or loft, in some parts of full twenty feet in height,
and extending is length over " the House" in which the Mem-
bers assemble to debate, the" Stra•gers Gallery," and thence '
over the passages and gallery-stairs' lobby, being bounded by
the walls terminating the " Smoking Rosin .--an ante-roam used
by members literally for each purposes, segue being adopted
by them. This immense 101 l bass good, strong, but antiquated
boor ; and during recent sessions, particularly during the last
session, on debate nights, it was no useeminon occurrence for •
party of ladies, !roes to tea in number, to be aseembled is
this elevated station, thistly around the centre ♦entilator, over
the chandelier, to Meer the debates. They were accommodated
with chairs, which were statiened around the gratings or venti-
lators already existing is the ceiling. The Members could be
only imperfectly seen ; but those who spoke audibly were very '
distinctly heard in the roof, or " Ladies Gallery." it is ap
proanhable by a stair-case that led to the Members Coffee-
house, previously to its removal by Mr. Bellamy. the present
housekeeper, to the upper rooms of the stone buildings opposite
Henry the Seventh's Chapel. This roof is a remarkable place,
not only on amount of its exteat and structure, and of the ten-
Waiting machinery contained In it but from the carious and very '
perfect remains of the original
.architecture of the building
that are there to be seen. The walls are from eight to ten feet
high from the level of the floorpreviously to the commencement
of the root'; and these walls display the ancient architecture, its
arctic., pilasters, decorations, &c. of the sharp pointed Gothic
style. In some instances they are partially destroyed, bat in
many other instances remain in a remarkably perfect state.—
Perhaps, excepting the cloisters by the Speaker's house, there
are not to be seen more distinct remains of the architecture of
St. Stephen's chapel, and of ancient buildings near to West-
minster-ball, than are to be discovered wider the roof, and
above the ceiling of the House of Commons. several very dis-
tinguished architects, accompanied by lowers of antiquities,
have recently been to view the specimens of ancient building
and decorations here to be found. Ms. Soane is is frequent
attendance, as he is soperinteading the new entrance, &o. to
the Parliament Houses.
There are already introduced into the ceiling of the noose of
Commons, several pieces of open frame work, so formed as to
?Noss like ornaments, and to act as ventilators, one i• each
corner of it, mod a large ventilator in the centre, from the
mid-
dle,poiot of which the grand chandelier was suspended. It has
been:emoted to be altered and improved. In addition to the
♦entilators already formed two new ones, of considerable di-
mensions, are being coustructed. One of them is directly ever
the middle benches of the Strollers' Gallery, the present aper-
ture it+ the ceiling being seven feet by two Icel.

IVN7HILL.

Mr. Farquhar, the purchaser of Foetidll, is man of an ex-
traordinary character and habits. His history will add another
to the many instances of the accumulation of wealth from suc-
cessful industry and attendant savings. Mr. Farquhar is a
mines of Aberdeen, and went out early in life to India, where
he was employed (or some time in a subordinate situation in the
medical department. His mind was ewer occupied in study,
and ehymical research was his favourite pursuit; from its prac-
tical application the foundation of his present immense (octane
was laid. There was some defect in the mode of manufacturing
gunpowder io the interior, and Mr. Farquhar was selected to
give his assistance. By degrees he got the management oldie
concern, and finally became the sole contractor to the govern-
ment. In this way wealth and distinction rapidly poured on
him, and be attained the particular favour and confidence of the
late Mr. Warren Hastings. In Bengal, be was remarkable
fur the closeness of his application, unabating perseverance,
and extraordinary mental vigour, and also for the same habits
of yenuriousness which lie still adheres to. After years of la-
bour be came home from India, with a fortune estimated at
ball a million of money, the principal part of which was in-
vested, through Mr. Hoare, in the foods, at the rate of 561.
far three per cent. Consols. On landing at Gravesend, Mr.
Farquhar got on the outside of the coach to London. and his first
visit very naturally was to his lamker. Full of dust and dirt,
with clothes not worth a guinea, he presented himself at the
counter and asked to see Mr. Hoare. The clerk■ disregarded
his application, and he was suffered to wait io the cash-office
av a poor petitioner, until Mr. Hoare pasaiug through it, after
some explanation recognised his Indian customer—the man
whom he expected to see with a nabob's pomp. Mr. Farquhar
requested 2.i1. and took his leave. After leaving the banking-
log house, he went ton relation's a baronet, with whom he for
sonic time resided. About Christmas a grand rout was to be
given by the relation of Mr. Farquhar, in consequence of his
return. One evening, a week previous, Mr: Farmiliar re •
ceived a hint from his relation that his clothes were not of the
newest farld (((( , and recommended a Bond-street tailor to him.
Mr. Farquhar asked if that really was his opinion ; the answer
was given in a way with which Mr. Farquhar did not feel
pleased ; be went to his bedroom. packed up his trunk, re-
quested the servant to call a coach, into which he set out, and
has never associated with bin titled relation since. He then
settled in Upper Baker-street, where his house was to he dis-
tinguished by its dingy appearance, uucleaned windows, and
general neglect. An old woman was his role attendant, and
his apartment, to which a broom or a brush was never applied,
was kept sacred from her. Books and papers were strewed
on the floor ; the spot where the book was concluded, there it
was thrown, and
all acquainted with his character; and there have been in-
stances of some of them offering him money as an object of
charity, sr as a reduced gentleman. He became a partner in
the great agency house in the city, of Basset, Farquhar and
Co. and also purchased the late Mr. Whitbread's share in the
brewery. Part of his wealth was devoted to the purchase of
estates, but the great bulk was Invested Ur stock, and suffered
to increase on the principle of compound interest. Every half
year be regalarly draw. his dividends, his mercantile profits,
and his rents, and purchases in the funds. la this manner his
wealth has accumulated. Mr. Farquhar is deeply read is



stilt NATIONAL ntottElt

asides* and sondem Montero ; kle mind Is one of eUrnordisary
viper and origimdity--his conversation of a superior order,
impressive and ataimatodes army subject. His seatiments are
liberal, and strangely contrasted with his habits. His awaries
may be considered as a &sees* which be cannot controul. His
religious opinions are peculiar, and seem to be iwi•enced by
an admiration of the purity of the lives and moral principles
of the Bialunins. It is build that he offered to appropritte
100,000, to found a college in Aberdeen on the most enlarged
plea of education, with • reservation oat points of religion, to
which, however, 1110 seriatim of the Legislature could mot be
procured, and the plan was dropped. Mr. Farquhar is still
single, and is 'most probably destined to spend the remainder
of his life unbroken in upon by tender e,aresses," unless
some late alterations in his mode of life can be accounted for
by the influence of the amiable weakness. He Ms gone to
reside in owe of his own bosses in Vlocester-place, Portman-
square, which he has furnished in • style of modern elegance.
He bas also set ap • handsome chariot, and so far as appear-
ances are concerned, indulges is several luxuries ; but kin do-
mestic habits are still the same, and his table seldom labours
with the p of heavy dishes. He has one nephew, to
whom he allows, or did allow, SOO/. a year. He has but few
other claims of family, sod it is probable that his immense
wealth will be bequathed to 60010 charitable institution, as
the great object of his ambition is to leave his saute to poste-
rity as the founder of some public institution. Perhaps his
pride hat slumbered for many years, and it is but new showing
its extent. To that passion may be attributed the purchase of
Foothill, for bit age and infirmities totality unit him for the
enjoyment of such a place. Those who are not well acquainted
with Mr. Farquhar consider him as a sordid miser, who bas
scraped money together by mere tabour and saving ; brit the
few with whom he associates recognise • powerful and enter-
prising mind, • cultivated and discerning taste, and an inlet-
lootual refisement totally opposite to that penury which be
seems to have first imposed on himself as a duty, but which
habit has made second o . He is about 6.5 years of age; ,
diminutive in person, and by no means prepossessing in ap-
pearance ; lass dress has all the qualities of the antique to re-
commend it ; and his domestic expenditure, until the last year,
has not exceeded 2001. a year, although his possess:oms, mosey
in the funds, and capital its trade, is said to amount to a mil-
lion and a half.
