A kw days sine-, three special bailiffs, under a war-
rant from the sherd' of the count 'y of Wateriord. came
so (Jog!wen, a farm near Four futile-water, to execute
their office on the property of a Mr. Power living there,
but were very soddenly surrounded by a vast multitude
of the etnottiry people, who thought the legal process was
for tithes. hay drove off the bailiffs, who took refuge
at one Ormond's, a policeman of the barony of Glena-
heiry, where again these officers were assailed, and com-
pelled to give up their arms.
Against such an outrage so deliberate anal systenntic,
aa•f aceoit.p oiled by a platy undisguised avowal of these
sitiagnided, mistaken, and infatuated people, that they
would not suffer any lIIJII in their disenct to he molest-
ed by law process of any kind. Mr. Alaunsell, the sub..
sheriff, determined upon that species of exertion which
its universally successful against a disorganised rabble—
having tatten out an officer's party, 20 infantry, to the
place. In the spot where a few da)s before e‘ery thing
seemed to be at the fun of the mob, and their number
was almost countless, the appearance of twenty soldiers
served to hare depopulated the district of its male in-
habitants. We have learned from different person.,
who went to attend the auction, to which Air. Mautiseil
immediately proceeded, ou the defendants goods, that
there were not teti men to be collected, so completely
were they terrified at this small but effective appear-
ance.

- The auction went on; previous to which Mr. Mann-
sell apprehended three of the persons charged with the
above outrage. The goods, such as they were, were sold,
and the prisoners brought quietly away.
Mr. Nlaunsell executed his duty with firmness and hu-
manity—and a painful duty it s•. as. The night previous
had beets one of peculiar storm, and a part of the house
of Mr. Jachson, brother-in-law to Mr. Power, the de-
fendant, and immediately near Power's, hsd fallen upon
a lovely infant, about four year., old, whom it literally
and instantly crushed in lle3lll in its cradle. The howl-
ing of the storm, the deluge of rain falling, the mangled
corpse of the infant in the mitts of one house, and the
clfizer. of justice selling :ha little furniture of the other,
with a guard of soldiers keeping their prisoners in tile
ruin of thc old castle at )Nutt-tube.water—altogether
presented a scene of h neuter felt than told, and fitter
for the invention of a novelist than the report 01 a news-
paper.
Last night the house of Pat. Carroll, at Ballisheeds,
in tile liberties of this city, was broken into, and search-
ed for his servant man, who expressed himself unfa-
vourably towards the nightly proceedings of those de-
luded w retches ; fortunately he was not in the house.

PR ECACTIONARY MEASURES.

DUBLIN, bEC. was Stated on Saturday that
the orders which had been issued by Government for the
erecting of barriers at the canal bridges, and other outlets
of the city were comitermanded. Yesterday, however,
we heard that preparations for the barriers were again
renewed.

The Lord Mayor 'sailed a proclamation on Saturday,
ordering all the public-houses within the police district
of Dublin metropolis to be closed from the hour of eight
o'clock every evenin4, until the hour of seven o'clock ht
the morning, until further notice.
Doubtless, it is prover that every necessary precaution
should be taken for the safety of the public: we would
otter the meed of Our applause to that vigilance and C3U•
0011 which should eveu go beyond what might appear to
be sufficient ha the protection of the peaceable and well-
disposed. Hot disloyally is the I.us! thing we should now
expect to find in the cry of Dublin. Loyalty is too cold
a phrase to express the feelings of its population towards
the Kiira.—warm, ardent, devoted attachment to his Ma-
jesty, will be found amongst all descriptions of its inha-
bitants.

At a meeting of the friends and and admirers of the
late Right Hon. Henry Grattan, held at the Royal Ex-
change, on Tuesday the 27th last, Robert Day, Esq. in
the chair, it was resolved—
That as the life or the Right Hon. Henry Grattan was
devoted exclnsively to the public good, his immortal ser-
vices during hall a century, as the first patriot of his
country, and tuunder of her liberty, should he comnscmo-
rated by a permanent testimonial; which, though mines
cessary to transmi, his name to posterity, may be a um.

that witnessed those splendid eat:llium', in which lie lived
and died.

report, of a lawless confederacy o.2ainst the payment of

is wholly unfounded. A gentleman of the highest re-
spectability, residinc in that quarter of ill.: county, who
would have been the first to ascertain the fact, and to
defeat so mischievous a conspiracy, has given its autho-
rity to contradict the rumour in the most align tidied
terms. NV e should add, that the circumstance which it
his been our pleas;iiA duty to discredit, was spoken of
in the most respectable circles, with a confidence of its
truth, that would have justified a much more positiv
and unreserved statement.

Our most recent information front different parts of
this county, we are most happy to state, affords no fresh
instances of outrage or insutiordination. Ott the con.

society, furnish a sery gratifying view of its present st te,

cations open to lititt an extended field lin observation,
ascribes what he terms—" the meliorated spirit of the
peasantry," in an edinient degree, to the strenuous ex-
hortations and Islitiaule vigilance of the Roman Catholic
Clergy. ‘Ve own we are disposed to rate the service, of
that influential body most highly, and we know they
have been uniformly recognised by our magistracy as

A ',emu who acted as a sari *f leader among the

marauders, has been arrested by Rohm Twiss, Esq. a
active magistrate of the County of Kerry, and conveyed
to Dublin, where he is expected to give iiiiich valuable
information. He is a person above the ordinary rank,
and has disclosed the names of nearly 301) indctidusls
who were engaged in these nocturnal distiirbances. He
has also, we are informed, given information where up.
wards of 30 stand of arms have been recovered. Much
credit is glue to Mr. Twiss for the address and prompti-
tude with which he effected the arrest of this mail. Mr.
Twiss being alined, met him in a solitary part of the
country, and having reason to suspect his being etiogedi
in the late disturbances, threatened him, unless he made
a disclosure of all he knew, which alter some time he
consented to do, He was then lorwarded to the metro-
polis, where Mr. 'l'. has also gone. We have no doubt
hot disclosures equally important with respect to these
outrages will be made from other eprirters.

On Monday night, the house of Thomas Wilkinson,
Esq. of Caherilly, was attacked in search of file-alms,
and as it was impossible, in a thatched house, to wake
resistance, they succeeded in getting a gun, but searched
the I e very mitnitely for more.
Same night the house of Mr. W. Mannan was also
attacked, his windows broken, and one gun taken.
On Wednesday Hight, about I I o'clock, the house of
Mr. John Barry, near Ballineguard, was visited by the
nightly depredators, who, havihig fired a shot at the
house, Mr. Dairy opened an upper window, and de-
manded what they wanted; the reply was "areas," upon
which Mr. Barry fired out, when they instantly retreated
to the end of the house. A boy was attei wards ilispatched
to Ballyneety by Mr. B. and in less than tell minutes
Lieutenant Arthur, and a party of the 93 regiment ar•
rived to his assistance, but not the least trace of the vil-
halos could be f I, though the party scoured that part
of the country till nay break next morning.
Mr. Shaughnessy's house, of I3allybrickcn, was also
attacked, and one gun taken.

The painful duly has devolved upon us to record cum
of the most melancholy circumstances which has occur.
red in this neighbourhood within our recollection. On
Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a most monis-
ing young gentleman, fifteen years old, and highly at
complialied, the eldest son of Major Lenon, who resides
at Grange Cottage, in the Queen's County, within three
miles of this town, got leave from his father to go out
fur the purpose of killing rabbes. The young gentle.
nian wrapt himself up in a Portuguese cloak, with the
intention of calling upon the son of a neighbouring far-
mer, of the wine of Maher, sonic years older than
himself, who generally accompanied him on such occa-
sions. In a fatal moment, however, Mr. Lenon con-
ceived the idea of giving the young farmer a aurprise,
and concealing his face, which Ise did by elevating the
cloak over his Lead; on arriving at Maher's house, he
assumed a feigned voice, and leaning over a hatch-door,
dennoideil their money, arms, Sec. Young Maher—the
rustic friend and companion of Mr. Lenon's hours of
recreation—struck with the supposed danger of the mo-
ment, seized a blunderbos loaded with slugs, which lay
by the lire-side, and, horrible to relate, fired at the
young man in whose defence he would have died him-
self. We can scarcely bring our pen to perform its
office, in describing the consequence—the nose and a
considerable pan of the head was literally torn away !
Docior Read and Surgeon Byru, of this town, were im-
mediately sent for, but they could only put an end to the
'untiring anxiety of the wretched parents of both parties,
by declaring that hope had fled fur evert—Mr. L died
on Thursday. Tho miserable young mail who commit-
ted the rash act was seized with a delirious, and has
gone off, no person can tell where l—Um Saturday there
was a Coroner's bluest held on the body. Verdict—
" Accidental Death.'

ADVENTURES Of A COUNTRY CONSTABLE IN I.ON-
DON.—A warrant of bastardy having been granted to toe
overseers of a parish, about 100 tittles from Loudon,
ai4aiiist a young titan who had absconded, the gentlemen
of the palish deputed aii itulividudl, whoa* they consi-
dered to be the sharpest of their constables, to proceed to
London in order to execute it, and for this purpose 201.
was granted hint to pay tiis expences. This the vigilant
officer concealed siitt4ly in his pocket-book, together with
his warrant, and ptai.ing it in his breast pocket, he ar-
rived in London on Tuesday last for the first time in his
life. On his arrival, above all places, he sought Charles-
street, Drury-lane, to take up his quarters, has Mg heard
that the object of his mission was a resident tit that
direction. He went into the Coach and Horses, and
there sat down with some gradate*, who, with all the
dexterity of versed thieves, contrived to cut out the
pocket book front his coat, unknown to him, whilst he
was intent iu con+ ersation. tie at length discovered his
loss, and immediately quitted the place in search of a
man whom he suspected, lie having left the house. He
thoughtlessly left his great coat behind him, and that was
also taken during his absence. The enraged officer in-
stantly proctected to Queen-square (Alice, in order to
ascertain whether they could grant him a fresh warrant
to apprehend the omit he had come after, that likewise
being stolen. He was reused a warrant, and was advised
to go back to his own parish for one, winch he was com-
pelled to do.
On Monday st'iutight, as Mr. Allcock, of Norwich,
was passing up Loudon-lane, a man affected to stumble
against him, and at the sante uuntieta blisoched. bus
watch fonts his fob, and rail uhf.—On the same aroma,
Mr. Powell, gankiier, of that city, was rubbed near
Union-place, tit unite money, the prAitee of debts which
lie had been cullecting.—About five o'clock on the Sallie
evening, a man had the audacity to enter the house of a
person in St. Benedict's, by the back chamber window,
wittle the family was below, and was in the act of let-
ting a bed down from the window, when he was disco-
vered by a person passing at the time, who gave the
alarm, and the thief *hopped down from the window
and decamped, leaving his booty behind him.
