During the last week, Major Tandy has been
actively employed in searching for arms in the
counties of Carlow, Kildare, Wicklow, and Dub-
lin, and has, we are glad to learn, succeeded in
obtaining six hundred and sixty-seven stand of
arms, and one hundred and twentv-six swords,
pikes, and bayonets.—( MIL/in Correspondent,
Jan. 15.)

We have just heard, that Lord Bantry, accom-
panied .by his brother, the lion. Simon White,
and two or three other Gentlemen, proceeding
from his Lordship's Seat, on Friday, to Mr. Mel:
leponts, near Bantry, to afford that gentleman
assistance against a meditated attack on .his
house, encountered in the way an advanced party
of insurgents, in number 5; they called on them
to Surrender, and on their preparing to resist,
Captain White firedl and shOt one of them, when
the party retired, shouting, on the main body,
whose advance obliged Lord B. and his friends
to make a precipitate retreat to Seafield.-- (Cork
Mercantile Chronicle, Jan. 14.)
A case of a singularly distressing nature was yesterday dis-
covered in a lane in the lrishtown, in. this city. A mother and
five female children, two grown to woman's estate, were dis-
covered in a dark, damp, ground-floor of a house, all in an ab-
solute state of nakedness, excepting a small covering thrown
over the shoulders of some of them. They sat close together
on the ground, as if to preserve some heat in themselves—no
bed—no fuel7-no'food, was to be seen. This circumstance is
:vouched to us by the Archdeacon of Limerick, the Rev. William
D. bare, and Lieut—Williams, who visited their miserable
hovel, and, for the present, provided them with some potatoes,
straw, and fuel. We understand those Gentlemen also visited,
yesterday, several other abodes of wretchedness, and that they
have, in conjunction with other Gentlemen, allotted one day in
each week for such like visits ; and they are ready to undertake
the dispoSal of any clothing or pecuniary aid that may be com-
mitted to their care. Any articles ef east clothing, lying by in
families, might, we think, be well 'disposed of in this way.—

A FORTUNC-HUNTER.----One of these minions
of Cupid, being in a ball-room at Bath, heard a
Gentleman giving an account of the death of a
rich old widow thus--" Died yesterday, in her
eighty-ninth year," said the narrator. " What
a pity !" exclaimed the fortune-hunter ; CC what a
fine match she would have been two days ago !"

'l;he unfortunate man THAI ER, who was so
seriously injured by his precipitation from a
second floor window in Charles-street, Warp-
lane, died yesterday in Middlesex Hospital, after
lingering many weeks. The accused of throwing
him out, stand indicted for the assault, and if con-
viction take place, it g ill now be murder.—A
Coroner's-Jury was to sit on the body this day.
