" NEN AG tf, JA N. 25.—Tilia town is in a most dreadful
state at present, last night's transartions are toot r fright-
ful than any that have yet occurred : a party of the yeo-
men went to the turnpike to take Horan: Horan heard
dogs balk in the yard ; cause out at the back door, and
was instantly sects: ed by two yeomen ; the remainder of
the 'tarty were in the front, or stree•aards ; Horan seeing
but two, then shook himself from one, and whipped the
bayonet off the gun, and stabbed Rea, a yeoman, through
the back, gave the other a box, and made off ; at this
lime Horati's father, a Mall 89 years of age !tearing some
noise itt th street, opened the front door, put cut his head,
partly exposing at the S.llllle time his body, ter see what a as
the matter, when one of the yeomen levelled his piece and
shut bins through the abdominal viscera, which protruded
from the wound. This is the account in substance that
the old man gives of the tratetaction, so far its lie was con-
cerned. The wounded yeoman was taken into the house
of one Garson, and taken care of, but certain persons
being itichued to think that they were ill-disposed peo-
ple, arrested old Carson and his daughter, and lodged
them in g tol w iiliont a warrant, or bringing them berme a
Magistrate. The people in general are now driven to
desperation, and we expect a general engagement with
tile yeomen. Lf you were to bear the language of them,
as tlie now think they can get Ito law—a hat a town to
live its !
P.S. The Mil man is pronounced mortally wounded "

A was in consequence hued at him, which ;dazed
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 time on both sides. Two of the ruf.
finis were seen to fall, and a retroat speedily ensued. A
blundertmas, a great coat with blood on it, a pair of
shoes, Ste. were left behind by these misguided men.
Mr. Leyne is sure that two of the assailants were
killed, and several wounded, as many traces of blood
were eiseovered on the road.
On Titursday morning, at eleven o'clock, the house
of Mr. I kitty Oilier (within half a mile or the town of
Castivislaud, where a military detachment is now sta-
tioned) was anothed by upwards of 200 ruffians, who
robbed it of 14 or 15 stand of mins, which they carried
off in triumph.

are committed. A few nights sitter Hallyhorgan Home,
the seat of %V. It. Hillard, Esti. was attacked, and arms
demanded. 'fire neighbourhooil of Killarney is also
much disturbed: on Nliniday night about 200 ruffians
went through Lord Kenmore's demesne, and proceeding
to the house of his Liirdsitip's park-keeper, deprived liint
of some arms and about nine pitundslif gunpowder.
lit conuqiietice of the lion-arrival on Thursday even-
ing, in 'Era lee, of the mail coach front Cork, it was
rtiermined to send the mail from Tralee to Cot k, on
Friday morning, by a special messenger. Accordingly
a Mr. !keret ))))) head clerk to the proprietor of the
mad
coach, set ant from Tralee on Friday moriiiiig, at six
o'clock, on horseback, with the mail bags, and attended
by one of the assistatite bilonging to the office. Oil their
arrival at a place called Tuck beg, which is situate about
twelve miles beyond Killarney, on the road to Cot k, they
were surrounded by a erous party of the insurgents,
who commenced their horrible outrages by mortally
wounding the horse which Mr. Bieretim rode. They
then drasged the tinlortunate wan to the giontid, and
:Ina haying wounded him in several places with pikes
and bayonets, fiaished the atrocious crime by seyering
his head from his body wait a blow or a scythe affixed
to a pole, or bihet of wood. The person who ac untra-
ined hint was taken prisoner; but, in the confusion of
the moment, he was so fortunate as to make his escape.
He brought the first account of this horrible act to
'Era lee.
llutit.tx, JAN. 28.—We learn, with great alliction,
that there has been a most serious affray between the
military and the insurgents, near Kanturk. Toe 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 lint so consider.
ably. The country between Millstreet and Macroom
niay be said to be in possession of the insurgents.
We have just learned that an affair has occurred in the
neighbourhood of Nlillstreet, between the peasantry and
a part of the rifle brigade. The peasantry attacked the
house co a man of the name or Armit. Wisile the attack
was going on, a party of the rifle brigade ca ••e tip. The
peasantry retreated ; but on a signal given, rushed down
the hill. The military Geed, and killed six—the remain-
der lied 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 Garreeticreen, within a mile of this city, was
entered Ey a number of armed oleo, who 1 reed their
way through the kits hen into the parlour, where the
family (with the exception of Mr. Max, who has teen
for smile time indisposed) were asseto'iled at tea
of the miscreants, on opening the dour, without (ltd.:r-
ing the object of his visit, or uttering a word, discharged
a pistol, the contents of which, we regret to say, lodged
in the arm of Mr. Max,jun. The elder gentleman, on
hearing the report, immediately came down stairs, when
he was met by another of the villains, who, placing a
Pistol to his breast, peremptorily demanded his arms.
I here was no alternative but to comply, and the fellows
succeeded in obtaining two fowling pieces, with which
they departed. Information of this infamous transaction
was soon conveyed by smite of Mr. Mines neighbours to
henry Weeny*, Esq. Mayor, who, in the moat prompt

ble and a party of the rick brigade. hastened to the spot,
and commenced an initnediabt search, which was con-
tinued till towards muruinu, but without being fortunate
enough to cosee up with any of die 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 skiffm treatment of
Surgeon Pack, we have every hope of his doing well.
TR A LES, JAN. SIG.—We greatly lament to see that the
wild and insurrectionary spirit of um deluded peasantry
64.'11 no dittrioution whatever, and that the accounts of
new and daring (mirages succeed each other with little
interiniesion. To what rade ))) i) y their measures would
proceed, if permitted with impunity, we know notei—if
they would vainly destgo setting tit open defiance the
laws and authorities of the land, we would recommeud
them, with the most cordial concern ler die happiness
and welfare of our country, to refer to the History of
Ireland. but 4 few years back, for a memorable proof of
the folly and ecraiagance of such an effort, when the
fatal and abortive experiment was tried, with a loss, it
is
calculated, ot 80,000 lives, etween the ontending par.
tire; whether there was anby &Mug sought for by the
Mal-contents its that barbarous strife which couid, its
ally degree, compensate for such a waste of human

hope, ;ate no.dollieulty its allSWeriltd. 'Elie result, how.
ever, was deteatt and, as might be expected, no small
delved of wifely or desolation to the rash and heedless
insurgenie.
