DUBLIN, OCT. 21.
INVESTIGATION IN SLIGO.—This case has not yet closed.
About twenty witnesses had been examined on the part of the
prosecution, and the general tenor of their tes imony was,
that the charge the Dragoons were directed to make upon the
people was wanton and excessively violent. The defence is,
th't at the time of the charge a large mass of the friends of
Mr. Junes rushed in the direction of Colonel Perceval's tally-
room, and that if a collision between the hostile parties had
not been prevented by the interference of the Dragoons under
the command of Major Browne, the consequences would have
been fatal.

The Registries arc generally in favour of the Reformers.
MAYO-MANIA.—The High Sheriff of Mayo, Sir William
o'!‘.l.illey, Knight, has declined to convene a county meeting,
according to the wishes of a numerous body of requisitionists,
for the purpose of adopting an address of congratulation to
her Majesty on her accession to the Throne. The pretence
upon which the loyal call was refused was this, that the requi-
sition bore signatures not in the handwriting of those whose
names were used—a circumstance of common, and, indeed,
obviously necessary occurrence. But the populhee will not be
contravened by Tory officials, and with becoming self-respect
and attachment to the Sovereign, the men of Mayo have re-
solved to hold their meeting, independent of his Knightahip.
The 28th is the day fixed.
A murder lately committed at Antrim, which was, as a mat-
ter of course, set down to the account of Popish bloodthirsti-
ness, turns out to have been the work of Protestants.

PUBLIC DINNER.—An ample report of the highly interest-
ing proceedings incident to the entertainment given at Cork,
on Thursday, to the City Members, Messrs. Callaghan and
Bcamish, appears in the Southern Reporter.
ABDUCTION OF FREEHOLDERS.-At the Carlow Sessions, on
Friday, Michael Brennan, John Nowlan, senior, John Now-
lan, junior, John Brennan, and John M' Donnell, were in-
dicted for a riot at Tomard on the 12th of August last, and
for an assault on Patrick Nowlan and Michael Brennan, and
for confining them ten hours, without warrant or authority.
After a large body of evidence was given, the Jury returned
a verdict of—" Guilty" against John Brennan and John Now-
lan (the cooper), acquitting the others. The chairman con-
ceiving that John Nowlan had been found guilty only on one
count, and John Brennan on two, sentenced the former to two
months' imprisonment, and the latter to three. They were
further sentenced to pay .51. each, towards the costs of the
prosecution.

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, workmen
commenced repairing the city gates at Temple-bar, and
were engaged in their operations until a late hour in the
evening, in effecting the necessary alterations and repairs
upon these ponderous barriers. From the accumulation of
rust, mud, and dust, it was with much difficulty that they
were moved on their hinges until well cleansed and oiled, re-
fusing to act. Their position has never been altered since
the proclamation of the Queen, when, as is customary, they
were closed. Several new panels were introduced into the
gates, and we understand they will be repainted. The
beautiful carving representing fruit and flowers, at the top
of these ancient civic portals, was examined and found
perfect. The work was almost completely obscured by
filth, but upon inspection it was evident that the carving
had been executed by no mean hand in this particular bralich
of sculpture. Crowds of persons throughout the clay were
watching the labours of the artisans.
In furtherance of the great object of steam naviga-
tion to India by the Red Sea, the East India Company are
now loading with Welch coal vessels of the largest size, at
the Llanelry Company's new dock in South Wales, for the
depots at Mocha and Bombay.

The Court of Berlin has gone into mourning for
three weeks, in consequence of the death of her Majesty
the Queen of the Netherlands.

A commission from the Prerogative Court to in-
quire into the circumstances touching the will arid codicil
of the late James Wood, Esq., has been opened in this
city. Several witnesses have been examined during the
present week, and many others are expected to be produced.
