County of Westmeath, is very much disturbed.—
Within the last week, the following outrages

his'servants firing-at the villains, who (.camped.
-s-On Wednesday night last, a party of ruffians,
styled Carders, demanded: adinittance into the
house of the 33d lock of the Canal, pear Gillen;
they tired several shots,. but the Lock-keeper and
his family most spiriteally'returned the shots, and ►
it is thought that some. of the assailants were
killed, On Monday night, a small detachment of
the military were attacked near Clara, and their
arms demanded, but a further escort, coming up,
five of the fellowS were secured and lodged in Till-
lamore gaol, o Tuesday. The Turnpike-house,
at Kilbeggan, wits broke into on Thursday night
last, but not finding arms there, the party cOn*-
tented themselves with flogging the keeper., The
Magistrates in the King's County have spiritedly
come forward, and at a General letting; held. by
them at Clara, on NVeclneSday, It. S. Stepney,

CASTLEBAR., Dee. '2o.—On Wednesday night
last, it furious multitude, armed with pikes, guns,
and other 'realigns, assembled near Crossmolina,
to rescue cattle, inipoinuled fur rent, by order of
Mr. Painter. It appears they. also came deter-
mined to murder a person named Mackey, a yeo-
man, to whose cure and . keeping the cattle were ,
entrusted. Aftetshaving fired several shots through
his house,, he rushed out, and fired through the
gar,g without ball; hoping they would disperse—
but. perceiving them endeavouring to. surroutut,
thin!, he loaded with ball and again levelled, when
t iro of the party fell, mortally, wounded. This
had the effect of terrifying the rest, who mane off
in different directions. Apprehending no farther
danger. 'Mackey, in returning; to his dwelling,
was eitcomitered by one of them, who struck him
op the head with,a French musket ; with him be
grappled, giving him two or -three stabs of a
bayonet before he- got disengaged ; however,
succeeded in forcing the musket from hint, which
he hrbught safe to Crossniolina.
On Friday night, the 3d instant" a party oe
about eight in number, armed with ninskets, pis-
tols, &c. proceeded to the house of a Very respect-
aide widow. .woman,,named. Sheridan, in the pa-
- 'visit of Drumlain, county of Cavan, for the pur-
pose Of forcing away her daughter, an amiable
young woman,. only twenty years of age, and who
was to have been married in two days after. to a
very respectable young man of the mime

1 house at nine o'clock, and, asked for a drink of
milk. The young woman tramediatelv hastened
And got theta the drink, not being in the smallest
degree suspicious of what would occur. ,The-mo-
ment she had handed the drink, a fellow of the
name of Gunn, who was outside with the remain-
der of his party, and who was, it seems, an unen-
couraged suitor, rushed into the house, seized the
unfortunate girl, and dragged her out. There was
no one to lend assistance hut a single servant. hay,
but he, with the must generous intrepidity, vo-

lie pursued the villains, and a scuffle ensued. A
dreadful fatality to the unfortunate female, .how--
'ever, instead of a benefit, was the consequence,
for when one of the villains perceived there was
the Most distant chance of a rescue, and a conse-
quent loss of bis,pritte, he levelled a pistol at the
hapless girl., and killed her on the spot. All the
ruffians instantly fled, and have not been since
heard of.
