The following letter received in town yesterday
communicate a most unfortunate aud fatal occur-

rence:—
.‘ MALLOW, JAN. I have this moment heard
of a most shocking occurrence which took place in
the neighbourhood of this town last night. lam
so hurried that I cannot now be circumstantial. The
short account is this : —The Rev. Mr. Chester, of
this town, a magistrate, took a party of the 24.1
regiment to patrole the country to the southwest
of Mallow; and having sent out an advanced guard
he was informed by them that he heard the trampling
of horses coming forward. Mr. Chester and the
military officer placed their party on each side of the
road, behind the ditches. The supposed marauders
advanced—the two first that appeared were fired at
by at least ten or twelve soldiers. They fell : but,
when the main body came up, it was discovered that,
instead of Whiteboys, they were King's troops , and,
to the utter consternation of all parties, it was found
that the individuals who fell, were the Rev. J. B.
Lowe, and one Law, a constable, who were both of
the party mistaken by Mr. Chester fbr Whiteboys,
and had accidentally preceded them for a moment.
The Rev. Mr. Lowe was perforated by five or six
balls ; he died instantly. The constable is in the
infirmary wounded, and past all hope "
SPECIAL COMMISSION.
LIMERICK, JAN. 13.--This day, at two o'clock,
the Hon. Mr. Justice Moore arrived in this city,
shortly after proceeded to the County Court, which
icing opened in the usual forms, his Lordship stated,
that he had come to Limerick, under the directions
of the Government, to adjourn the Curnmmission ;
and he thought it right to observe, that on the day
to which it will be adjourned, such persons as re-
mained untried, should be brought forward for that
, purpose, and made amenable to justice.
1 The Court was then apjourned pro forma, to Sa-

turday the 16th February next.
Some application was made to take off fines im-
posed on Jurors for non-attendance at the opening
of the Commission, and his Lordship stated that it
was totally out of his power to listen to any such
applications—that Baron M-Clelland had signed the
estreats, and that such matters were now to be in-
terfered with by only the Commissioners for Re-
ducements.

DESPERATE ATTACK AT BANTRY —On Friday
morning last, at four A.M. a body of men, consisting
of between 500 and 700 weil armed and mostly
mounted. attacked the house of D. Bellefont, Esq.
and also the houses of Messrs. Doyle and Potterson,
from all of which they took arms. The Earl of
Bantry, with that promptitude anti gallantry which
mark his character, hearing of the circumstance in
about three hours after, proceeded with five or six of
his friends, with a hope of cutting some of them off
behare they separated, and made tor the glen road
leading tc Macron, where they overtook them about
day-light, beyond the chapel at Ballingearing, cross-
ing a mountain ro d leading to Lackavana, in Kerry,
about 14 miles from Bantry. The insurgents have
taken to the heights above the road, gave them a
full view of oislordslip's tittle band, and they thereby
were encouraged to make an tincture to surround
their pursuers, anti they commenced a regular attack,
shouting front v very hill, and firing, after quitting
their horses. The patty of his Lordship retreated
back on the Glen road, finding themselves unequal
to contend with such superior numbers, firing
slowly to cover their retreat ; the insurgents dis-
charged their anus. unit rolled and threw down
stones into the Glen. Lord Bantry had a 'amnia:de
escape, tor one stone was particularly thrown at
him, but Mr. White, his Lordship's brother, was so
successful as to shoot him, mad two others are sup-
posed to have been wounded; the party of his Lord-
ship maintained their ground as lung as possible
iie.ore they returned to Bantry, with a view to get
possession of the killed and wounded, which, we are
sorry to say, they were not able to effect—bad the
account reached his Lordship in sudieienl time to
have enabled him to colicet his neighbours, a good
aecuuat would have been given of these desperadoes
