(From the Cork Adverliser)
Dec. 15.—0 n Saturday last a notice was posted at
Nlethelsa, a sinecure parish of Isiniscanou, near Cork,
cautioning the persons in that neighbourhood to pay but
one-third of their rents, and no tythes or taxes ; threat.
erlin4 destruction to any who should take down that
notice.
Out Thursday, about noon, as Mr. Irons, a Methodist
Preacher, was proceeding from Mallow to Cork, a man
coming along the mad stepped up, and carefully survey-
ing his person, went off. Mr. Irons hail proceeded but
a short way on his journey, when he observed six or
seven men. On passing them, they coccked their fire-
arms ; and he heard sonic of theist say, " It is he I" and
others, " It is not he," and turning round, he observed
several muskets, and a brass blunderbuss pointed at him,
but they did not fire, and he reached Cork in safety.
(Ervin the Cork Morning Inielligencer.)
Thursday rooming, between the holm of one and
two o'clock, the house of C. Al'Carthy. of Knockout.,
in the parish of Drimoleague, about six miles Irons Dun-
inanway. was attacked by several men, seven of whom
entered with their faces blackened, and demanded fire-
arms and :ttum M'Carthy gave them a pistol,
the only fire-arms lie had ; they then asked for the keys
of his chests, which lie gave them. They then proceed-
ed to search every chest in his house, iii one of which
they found between one and two lbs. of powder, which
he had fur blasting a quarry, and which, he thinks, they
must have known lie had ; with these they departed,
without demanding money or any thing else.
The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday contains the fol-
lowing :
" Just as we were going to Press, we received the
following communication from respectable authorities.
" ' Apprchensson of an .armed Bunl—Ott Wednesday
last, twelve men, who were apprehetitled in the coon'',
of Limerick on the previous night, all armed, were es-
corted into the city of Limerick, chained to each other,
and lodged its gaol. Seven others taken the saute night,
were also committed. 'I he gaol is full of prisoners.'"
'Thursday night, the stores of ;Messrs. Pilsworth, near
with a considerable quantity of goods, wera
burned to the ground. It is feared the fire was occa-
sioned by incendiaries.
MILL-STREET, COUNTY or CORK....—A great body
of men proceeded to the village of Donou4hinore, and
attacked the house of the clergyman, who had deposited
with hint for safety most of the arms of the parish,
amounting to 66 stand; they set fire to his house, and
obliged him to give them up, and then helped to extin-
guish the fire, as they only wanted the arms. They
were so numerous as to say they would march to Kali.
lurk (the military post of the neighbourhood) and give
battle to the military if they opposed them. Their num-
bers are stated at 100 men. -
The Cork Papers of Thursday do not mention this
last circumstance, which renders it improbable.
The Freeman's Journal of Monday says, tit it Mr.
Goulbouris was expected in Dublin on the lullowing
day, and that the Marquis Wellesley was expected to
arrive on Friday or Saturday at the latest.
The following are additional particular respecting the
murder of Mr. Wiley.
As Henry Wiley and William Wiley were returning
on Tuesday eve • g, about seven o'clock Irons the fair
of Longwood, to their father's house at Cullestreagh,
they observed a body of men, about twenty ill
standing at a litttle distance before them upon the road,
and upon coming nearer, Iwo of the men advanced out
of the crowd and passel the two Wiley a, who bade
. them good night, but received no answer. The Wile4s
then passed through the main sbody, but had not pro-
ceeded far, when the men began to whistle with their
fingers, and instantly pursued them. Henry Wiley ob-
served to his brother, " there is something in
" 1)o you take the fields." William answered, " and
I'll keep the road ; whatever chalice I have, you have
1101 Ir."
They accordingly parted, and William was found next
omitting with his head literally severed from his body
by a razor he had its Isis on ii pocket, and which fie had
that day bought its me fair. A shovel was also found
near the body broke in several pieces, arid with which
his head had beets split in two. A most respectable
jury, in the presence of Major O'Dottoughue, found it
" Wilful Murder against Nliels iel Paine and others."—
Paine has been appielietided, and is riow committed by
the coroner to abide his trial. A younger brother of
the ‘Vileys was a witness us the case of Nit.. Cruise's
murder
(From Saunders's News Letter.)
Twenty etiolates in Ireland are tranquil. Those par-
tially disturbed are seven—Carlow, Galway, Kilkenny,
Meath, Roscommon, Waterford, and Westmeath.—
Insubordination and crime disgrace, to a wide extent,
the remaining five—Clare, Kerry, Cork, Limerick and
Tipperary.
SPECIAL COMMISSION.
LIMERICK, Dee.ls.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the
HOll. Baron M`Ch..II Aid, and the Hon. Justice Moore,
arrived in this city from Dublin. They were met near
Bird Hill, county Tipperary, by the city High Sheriffs,
accompanied by thvir bailiffs, Mr. Drought's police, and
a party of cavalry, and by the county High Sheriff and
hits bailiffs, and a detachment of Maj. Wilcock's polices
from whence they were accompanied to their lodgings
in George's-street.
This morning at I I o'clock, both the Judges entered
the County Court, and after the Lord Lieutenant's di-
rection to hold a commission for the trial of such persons
as were hi custody for offences recently committed against
the public peace was read, the county Limerick Grand
Jury were sworn in.
The teamed Baron Nl.Clelland addressed (the Grand
Jury. Ile took a review of the dangerous associations
which disgrace the county, and cited several ac's framed
for the suppression of wititeboyisin. The first of these
acts was passed its the year 1776, when it was enacted.
" That any number of persons associating together under

IRELAND.

~-

any particular disguise, with fire-arms, &c. amounted
to a high misdemeanour, subjecting them to imprison-
ment and corporal punishment, under the discretion of
the Court ; but that when such a party should proceed
to any operative acts of violence, each and every one in
such au unlawful assembly, was subject to.the high penal
punishment of death."
Also threatening letters, denunciations, placirds, of
an insurrectionary spirit, against loyalty and peaceable
subjects, were capitally penal.
The slightest trespass, after sunset, by any such party,
though in other occasions but a tresspass, yet in this case
of a whiteboy system, is capital.
Any one giving countenance or protection to any per-
son or persons, associated for any illegal purpose, are
considered conspirators, and are equally guilty.
By another act, passed in the 27th oh his late Majesty,
denominated the Riot Act, threatening magistrates in
the discharge of their duty, and which were too common
and well known in this county, was capital in the eye
of the law.
His lordship then referred to other sections, enabling
the magistrates to call upon any of his Majesty's subjects
to aid and assist in putting down all tumultuary proceed-
ings, and that in case of airy one refusing, said refusal
was indictable.
His lordship then implored the Grand Jury to co-ope-
rate with the police magistrates, and he sincerely misled
that the effect of this Special Commission, would be sa-
lutary in restoring the peace of the county.
All the bills exhibited to the Grand Jury this day
were returned as " true." They will resume their sit-
ting
at ten o'clock on Monday.
After sever.il witnesses were sworn, the Judges pro-
ceeded to the City Court, and swore in the City of Li-
merick Grand Jury
Mr. Justice Nloore addressed the Jury at great length,
and with omen ability. His lordship was occupied up-
wards of an hour iii his charge.
Some prisoners were arraigned, and the Judges re.
turned to the Comity Court, where they were engaged
at four oclock in arraigning prisoners.
The number in the comity gaol yesterday for trial
amounted to 49, and are charged as tiallows—ior murder
4; for assetirliling by night, and breaking into houses
13: robbing on the highway 2; having arms and gun-
powder Leoticealed 2; administering unlawful oaths 2;
assaulting Cl'OnVn witnesses 12, various other offences 14
