The person by whose information the seizure

at the end of this paragraph. He had, we under-

used to travel vending his wares to all parts of the
kingdom. It appears that be disposed of a ton of
spurious tea, and a ton and a half of pepper, yearly.
We have no doubt that his discoveries will be of
some importance. He is, however, not the only

On Friday night last some villains succeeded in

Glebe-house, near Cove. They were armed with al
blunderbuss and pistols. and having proceeded to
Mr. Sweyne's bed-chamber. and preventing him
by severe threats from snaking any resistance, suc-
ceeded in taking away his gold watch ,and three
guineas in money, after which they Leh the house

Domed William Holmium had been fosnd murdered
on Tuesday (by en error of the press printed Wed-
nesday) night, near Freshford. An inquest was
held by Francis Reynolds, Esq. County Coroner.
It appeared, ns we stated in our last, that several
cattle, which had been impounded at Freshrord, for
mirror of debt due to Stanhope Gresham, E-q. of
Dublin, were carried off by a lawless party on the
night of the murder; that, on the discovery of the
rescue, Jacob Leaky, the pound-keeper. went off in
pursuit of the cattle; that he was followed in half
an hour by his son mid a policeman, stained Joseph
Holmes., both of whom were armed with muskets ;
and that the deceased was found deed on the road
side, by which they went in search of the rescued
beasts. All the three were examined on the In-
quest, amid the two latter admitted that they 11411, the

IMPTEMBER 11'n
Yesterday an attempt was made here to sweep
chinuties by a machine, sod it folly succeeded.
Captain Oliver. brother to the Rev. Silver Oliver,
Rector of Loughgult, brought with hiin an tippers.
ins for the above purpose, which was tried hi the
leeks-room in the Tontine. in the presence of a num-
h-r of inhabitants, and it cleansed the chimney
(three stories high) so t ffectually, that when a sweep
was sent up afterwards he could bring down too soot.
'A number of gentlemen present subscribed to
purchase the apparatus from Captain Oliver, in
order to keep it for the use of this city, and he wss
waited or to return him thanks for having brought
the apparatus here, and to request he would give
it at the prime cost, which was three pounds. To
this request Captain Oliver consented, and. on re-
ceiving this sum, lie generously banded one-half of
it es a donotion to the Savings' Bank. and the other
half to the Society for the Suppression of Street
