.a great number of prisoners, however, were
discharged for want of prosecution. It is fully under-
stood amongst the common people in that,countryo
that any person who comes forward to support a pro-
secution must abandon his former home,for.ever,
and settle in a distant part of the kingdom. There
were in all but six persons eXecuted. Fielding,
who rejeaed the Offer Of a pardon on becOming an
evidence agartlst his master, Jahn Ryan,- for • the
murder Bourke and llogherty,' atid burning .the,
house at Chartersland, and who, in consequence; was
tried and conviaed himself for the same offence,
was executed on Wednesday. When at the gallows,
he expressed the utmost regret that his .obstinacy
had been of no use to hismaster, and that he had
fallen 'a -useless sacrifice.

The examples, that have been made, have not,
even while they are yet fresh before the eyes of the
p'io"ol6, had any effect in restoring peacd-or good or-
der there ; every day produces-new outrages, which'
are advancing, towards the neighbouring county.of,
Kilkenny. A few nights since, a feria-house and a
quantity of corn, the property of Mr. RE,c,9,. were
burned to the ground by a set of men calling them- •
selves John Doe Boys, because Mr. READ had taken-
the farm to thd exclusion of a former tenant. None
of the persons concerned have been apprehended.
On Monday night last, the, house of Mr. Horton,
near Clogheen, was attacked. Two ruffians, leav-
ing a strong guard outside, entered, and,rushing in-
to the parlour, fired at dr. Horton ; the shot dan-
gerously wounded Mrs. Horton, who was sitting
with. her husband and a friend, the ball passing
through her thigh. The reason assigned by the
villains was, that Mr. Horton had taken some land
contrary to the stancling order.

.One of the ruffians concerned in this outrage has
been arrested and identified. He is now iii Clonmell
gaol.
A farmer named Lynch, •in the neighbourhood of
Gallen, was .attacked on Thursday night last, :and
had both his ears cut off, fCr taking a farm. When
the villains cut off • both his ears, they thrust one of
them down his throat with the but end of a whip:.

About ,four •o'clock on Wednesday morning, a
Boat was discovered in the Bay of Dover, making
for the shore, with two blankets fixed as substitutes
fotsails. On landing, she was found to have on
board the Captain and crew, ten. in number, of a
Portuguese Vessel, who contrived to make :their
escape from Flushing, on SUnday last. The birtat is an
open one, and appeared, from its make, to have been
intended fora canal.' All that the people had on
board of her, consisted of some ,bread,., a little
spirits a lanthorn, a .piece of candle, a pocket
compass, and a small chart. Shortly before they
came away, they were told that they would soon
be considered and treated as prisoners of war, and
this tempted them to make one draPerate effort for
their liberty, in which they fortunately
succeeded.
