THE KING'S BIIITH-DAY.—ILLUNIINA-
TIONS IN CORK.-On no occasion in this city was ever
joy so general—or ever intention of honouring a Ktwc so
decided and so distinctly expressed. The poorest of the
poor—those who could afford no other than a farthing
candle for all purposes, absolutely placed that wretched
light in their only unbr.ken pane ; thus demonstrating their
loyalty, and more, their sense and perception of the value
of such a KING to his country—their entire approval of his
sentiments and actions. Thousands of persons of all
ranks, ages, and sexes, paraded the streets, delight painted
upon every countenance, and the utmost harmony per-
vaded the entire throng. All passed off quietly and
peaceably, and with a degree of order which reflects the
highest honour upon our city.—Cork Chronicle.—[Cove
and Passage were also illuminated on Saturday.]

HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY.—This clay
being held as the anniversary of his MaiEsTr's birth, at
an early hoar the flags were hoisted on the Castle•hill and
Nelson's Monument. At nine o'clock, the bells rung a
merry peal, and not a few of the citizens prepared to demon-
strate their loyalty, in a manner worthy our patriotic
KING, aid the new and happier era that is about to dawn
on this long suffering and oppressed country. The stage
roaches that left this city early in the morning, were gaudily
decorated with flowers, flags, and especially brooms.—.
Want of time and want of space equally preclude us from
going into particulars, to-day, but we shall particularize
the Perth coach, for instance, to give our readers some
knowledge of the splendid scene exhibited in Prince's-
street this morning. In front there was a neat model of
a man of war, with the Union Jack, on one side, behind
was a beautiful flag with the crown and sceptre, over which
were the letters W. IV. R. The staff was surmounted
with a " Bush of Broom," and underneath was the motto—
" A new broom sweeps clean."—Scotsman of Saturday.
THE CELEBRATED FARINELLI.--Of FA-
RINELLI the reputation and history are too familiar to
every musical reader to need recapitulation. Like liar-
FAEL and MICHAEL ANGELO in the sister arts, be stands
alone, and not a tyro in music but uses his name as fa-
miliarly as his ‘, household god•." That he was elevated
by Isis voice and singing from a theatre to a palace, and
became the real efficient Prime Minister of the third in
rank of European kingdoms ; that, a second DAVID, he
exorcised the fiend of melancholy from the bie ist of the
Spanish Saul.; that in his unexempled elevation he con-
ducted himself with a prudence, a delicacy, and a mo-
desty, admirable in any one ; but in a person whose early
life was spent in the cabals of a theatre, and the petty
rivalries and low ambitions of the green-room, wonderful.
All these traits in the life and character of FARINELLI are
as well known to the musician as the height of Strasburg
cathedral tower, or the dimensions of the great Egyptian
pyramid, are to the architect. And the exclamation of
the noble virtuoso, " One Gun ! one FARINELLI !" is as
proverbial for its intensity and justness of admiration, as
for its blasphemy.—Harmonicon for June 1.

they could not exceed the one third of the millionth part
of an inch. This curious specimen is in the cabinet of

SPECIAL COMMISSION.
LIMERICK, MAY 30.
Michael Storin and Michael Devitt were arraigned
on a capital indictment for feloniously and unlaw-
fully, with force of arms, threatening one Marti,
Kelly, to wit, with the word, " I'll break your head
and split your skull," in order to induce said Kelly
to enter into unlawful combination with them. The
second count charged the prisoners with using thr
words to compel Kelly to combine with them to in-
jure the lands of Ross. They were also indicted
for a riot and unlawful assembly.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for the Crown.—He
was happy to say that the general calendar did not
exceed, in point of enormity, the usual detail of
crime, but he reuretted to find there was in the
calendar a species of crime unusual in its nature,
mischievous in its character, and formidable in its
consequences. It appeared that in many parts of
this county, instead of being deterred by the miser-
able sure of the''county of Clare, large bodies of
men had assembled in the open day to turn up the
lands of various proprietors, and for the purpose of
committing other mischievous excesses. He was
inaßity,,lsowever, to find that they were promptly
met, and the revolt was suppressed after it had lived
the short period of seven days.
Denis Foley examined by Serjeant GOOLD.—
Knows the bog of Portcrusha. Was employed by
Stein and Browne on the 3d May last, as labourer,
with 33 men, cutting turf; there were about 430
persons, men, women, and children, employed on
the bog; I had 33 . men under myself; knows
Devitt; I saw him at work on the bog; saw a large
body of men on the road; I know a man named
Molony ; I saw every body go off from the bog with
their tools, towards O'Brien s•bridge, huzzaing and
shouting; I went myself to Molony's house to tell
him that I had heard his field was to be dug up. I
cannot tell the name of the person I heard say this.
Alvin Kelly—l know the prisoners. Devitt
was at work on the bog; Storin was not, but came
about ten o'clock, as if from the Clare side. Storin
said something to the men, and they all went off
shouting. I was forced to go too, for I was in
dread, because Devitt said he would break my head
and split my skull if I did not go. I went as far as
O'Brien's-bridge with them, arid then left arid went
home.
Robert Johnson, police-constable—l know the
prisoner Devitt; saw him on the 2d May, at Mont-
pellier ; there were a great number, from 300 to 400
persons, passed O'Brien's-bridge at the time, with
shines arid pitchforks; they were coming from the
bog at Portcrusha, and going towards the county
Clare. I arrested Devitt in his own house, on the
night of the 11th May; he said if he knew I was
coming he would be at home before me. I arrested
Storin in his own house.
James Molony—Saw the lands of Ross after the
2d May, and they were turned up.
Cross-examined—l know Devitt well, and can give
him nothing but a good character.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of the
capital charge against both prisoners.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here said, that as this
was the only capital charge he meant to proceed in,
it became his painful duty to call for judgment on
the prisoners.
The prisoners were removed without sentence
being passed.
Stephen Gleeson, Thomas Scanlan, John Frawley,
John Naughten, Thomas Frawley, Patrick Punch,
and John Duggan, were indicted fur riotously as-
sembling to injure arid dig up pasture lands against
the statute. The prisoners pleaded Guity.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that On the sth of
April last Mr. Yokes, the chief magistrate of the
county, having obtained information that a tumul-
tuous assembly was about to take place, proceeded
to Crarara, where he fell in with a party armed with
spades and stones, who, on the approach of the ma-
gistrate,advanced towards him in a menacing mariner,
he having but a small party of tire police force with
him, though at hand he was attended by a consider-
able body of military. Immediately on corning in
contact with the insurgents, Mr. Yokes succeeded in
apprehending the seven persons now at the bar, all
of whom appeared to be acting as leaders to the party.
The COURT intimated that they would take time
to consider and inquire into the case from the gen-
tlemen residing in the neighbourhood of the prisoners
before it passed sentence.
The prisoners were then removed.
Illichael Downey, Michael Clohessu, 77romas
Noonan, Patrick Fitzgibbon, JVlichael lliolony, John
and unlawfully injuring the pasture lands of
Counane, and David Falisl., were indicted for felo-
niously Michael Casey, at KilmalloA, on the 21st of April
last, I.y digging and turning up the same. They
were also indicted for unlawfully anti riotously as.
sembling against the form of the statutes.
The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty.
The facts of the case were fully proved by the
witnesses for the Crown.
Michael Sheerly, called on behalf of the prisaner
Counatre, deposed that he was only a spectator,
lookingCss
-x party.
TTORNEY-GENERAL—
Was not digging my-elf. 1 know many who were
digging, but would not swear against them. I saw
one •of the graves.
Sergeant GooLD—Was tie grave large enough

Mr. Laurence Roche end Mr. John I-lannam gave
out hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against
Judge JEI3B briefly charged the Jury, who, with-
all the prisoners.
TUESDAY, MAY 31..
van Bradshaw, John Shea, Patrick Shea, Wm.
Whealan, Thomas Bourke, Timothy Ceee, George
Dwyer, and .21 oily Doran, were chargel with
selaiii.alslY digging up the pasture land of Richard
DatTPsaTnEutt".ngn' on the 22d of April.
Ereaepplied to the Court on behalf of
prisoners for leave to withdraw their plea of
tiSlieroevsl
terG:.uilty, and plead Guilty. He had affidavits to
show that they had been coerced by intimidation to
assns in committing the on rage with which they
were charged.
James Nix, Laurence Keefe, Timothy Ryan, and
David Ktely, were indicted for feloniously injuring
the- pasture land Of John Syrian, on the 10th of
April last, at Fedamore, by digging up the soil and
surface of the same. They were also indicted for
riotously assembling contrary to tine statute.
The case was fully made out, and the prisoners
got an excellent character.
Mr. Synan, the prosecutor, gave Kiely an ex-
cellent character, and said he should riot hesitate to
be security for his good conduct.
Cross-examined,—The attorney for the defence is
my son; he is considered my son.—(Laughter.)
Kiely is a snug farmer, and does not want land.
Mr. Justice 111004
found a verdict of briefly charged the Jury, who
Guilty against all the prisoners.

blind turpitude of the peasantry in turning up ground,

PRICE 7D.

iaw a large.body of people at Fedamore (50 or
10) enter a field, and shortly after saw a second
lody, which were straggling along, join the first
)arty—all made about 100. They had spades most
if them, and they began to shout and huzza, and
continued to work for about an hour, in a field of
about six or seven acres, and turned up a good deal
If it. They dug up the sods, and others tore and
knocked the sods about. He (witness) was on a
'till. [ldentified three of the prisoners, Ryan, Keefe,
aid Nix.) One of them (Keefe) held the coats of
if the others while they were working. Witness
knows this digging is very injurious to the land.
Philip O'Donel, policeman, examined by Setjean.
GOOLD—Knows Coe, the last witness, who was of
his party on the 16th of April ; knows the field of
Mr. Synan ; saw the party on it about three o'clock
n the day ; there was a large party in it; heard
diem shout " for Gars and O'Connell !" they
shouted while in the act of digging.
Serjeant GOOLD—This is a new feature : are yen
sure you heard that ? Witness—l am; Kieley, one
•if the prisoners; used to fling the sods; swears that
while they were doing so they shouted for Clare and
O'Connell.

Cress-examined by Mr. WALSHE, but nothing
way elicited to shake his direct testimony.

John Syrian, the proprietor of the field, gave the
prisoner Kieley a good character.
Cross-examined by Mr. BENNETT—Believes
'shout four acres of his field were turned up, the
sods were turned over and hither; but the sods
:vere put back again, for he gave the people a field;
he attorney for the prisoners is his son, at least he
believes so.

To a Juror—He gave the field, in lieu of the one'
they turned up, to the people.
Lltete the witness became evidently reluctant to
swear strongly against any party who had injured
him; but got off the table by a general avowal of
their not having much injured him. ]
Eliza Neunan, examined by Mr. WALSIIE—Saw
more women and children in the field on that day
than men ; she herself joined in the hurra. When
the sods were turning up,—and where's the use but
for to tell the truth,—she " highed" for O'Connell
and " highed" for Clare !—(Loud laughter.) The
field which Mr. Syrian gave for the one they had
turned up was for the good of the poor of the parish.
The JUDGE charged the Jury, and read from the
Whiteboy Act such portion as bore upon this par-
ticular offence, when the Jury returned a verdict of
Guilty.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that Govern-
ment was not disposed to act with sanguinary
rigour, but in a spirit of clemency. He hoped that
as tranquillity was in most places returning, the de-
luded peaFantiy would be guided into the paths of
peace, and appreciate the mild spirit of the Govern-
ment.—Adjourned to Ennis, Galmay, and Ros-
common.

(From the Limerick Evening Post.)

A gentleman in a boat, passing up the Shannon,
yesterday, observed strong detachments of the
cavalry and infantry in motion, at the Clare side,
convenient to Foyne's Island, and heard a brisk fire,
which was kept up for a long time. This statement
agrees with a rumour circulated in the course of the
day, that the military had a fierce rencontre with the
peasantry in that district.
It is said that Michael Storin and Michael Devitt,
found guilty at the Commission yesterday, in Lime-
rick, will be executed at O'Brien's-bridge on Satur-
day next.
The lady of Major Carter is, we are happy to
learn, able to identify the fellows who fired at and
wounded her husband.

Sunday last, as Ensign Sutherland, of the 69th
Regiment, accompanied by Miss Bouchier, who was
also on horseback, was riding a spirited horse near
Bruf); the animal took fright at Mr. Sutherland's
ca►p falling off, and by a sudden plunge, threw the
unfortunate gentleman, who came upon his head,
and survived but a few moments.

The Special Commission for the county of Gal-
way will sit on the 10th of June.
Lieutenant Fitzwilliam Miller, late of the Ist
Royals, whilst superintending some men he had en-
gaged in tilling the ground, near Limerick, on Satur-
day, was foicibly constrained by a party of Altites
to relinquish the duty, and quit the ground.

A gang of pickpockets visited the late Corn-
wall election, and are said to have realized 160/. by the
trip; among others, Mr. PENDARVES, one of the success-
ful candidates, was robbed of 101.

The Fire Insurance Offices are sometimes
plagued with applications from insurers of a certain class
who are determieed to have the worth of their money.—
Claims are frequently made for the accidental tumbling of
clothes into the fire ; and it was not long since a claim
was made fOr the value of the dress of a little girl who was
burned to death. An elderly gentleman, who was inset ed
in the Eagle Fire Insurance Office, a few years ago, pro-
duced his hat, with a small hole horned in it, at the office,
and said he considered himself entitled to the sum of 28s. ,
the price it originally cost him. " Why," said the Actuary,
" you have worn it fin• several years, anti it is worth little
or nothing." "To me," said the insurer, "it was of
great value, for I esteemed it as an oil friend, and
would never have parted with it while it covered my
head." " But bon'." said the Actuary, " did you burn
the hole in it? Any one may burn a hole in an old Lat to
get a new one." " I did it by accident," said the
claimant. " I was reading the account of a victory in a
newspaper, and I really knew nothing of the matter until
I found my head on tire." The establishment asked him
whether he thought a guinea would not be a recompense
under the circumstances, and he consented to take it.
Upon another occasion, a lady demanded the value of a
quantity of beautiful curls which she wore—" the skull
that bred them in the sepulchre." It happened that she
nodded over a prayer-book, and the candle caught her
locks and set them in a blaze. Her claim was imme-
diately allowed..
A SLIGHT COLD.—Consider " a slight
cold" to be in the nature of a chill, caught by a sudden
contact with your grave ; or, as occasioned by the damp
finger of death laid upon you, as it were to mark you for his,
in passing to the more immediate object of his commis-
sion. Let this be called cro iking, and laughed at as
.such, by those who are "wearied of the painful round
of life," and are on the look-nut for their dismissal from
it ; but be learnt off by heart, and remembered as having
the force and truth of gospel, by all those who would
" measure cut their span upon the earth ;" and are con-
scious, of any constitutional flaw or feebleness; who are
distingui•hed by any such tendency death-ward, as
long necks, narrow chicken-chests—very fair complexions
—great sympathy with atmospheric variations ; or, in
short, exhibit any symptoms of an asthmatic or con-
sumptive character, if they choose to neglect a slight
cold. Let not those complain of being bitten by a
reptile, which they have cherished to maturity in their
very bosoms, when they might have crushed it in the
egg! Now, if we call " a slight cold" the egg, and
pleurisy—inflammation of the lungs—asthma—con-
sumption, the venotni,us reptile—the matter will be no
more than correctly figured. These are many ways in
which this " egg" may be deposited and hatched.—
Going suddenly, slightly clad, from a heated into a
cold atmosphere, especially if you can contrive to be in
a state of perspiration ; sitting or standing in a draught,
however slight ; it is the breath of death, reader, and
laden with the vapour of the grave! Lying in damp
beds, fur there his cold arms will embrace you ; con-
tinuing in wet clothing, and neglecting wet feet—these,
and a hundred others, are souse of the ways in which
you may slowly, imperceptibly, but surely, cherish the
creature, that shall at last creep inextricably inwards, and
lie coiled about your very vitals. Once more again—,
again—l would say, attend to this, all ye oho think it
a ►mall matter to neglect a slight cold.—Blachwoods
