I)READFUL ACCIDENT, from the bursting of
Gasometer.—About four o'clock yesterday after-
,°.°n, one of the gasometers in Friars-street burst
.th a dreadful explosion. Here is the reser-
t°4 for supplying Blackfriars-road and the ad-
eent streets with gas, and the gasometer that
ttlrst was quite new, and at the time it burst
t'stained about 'l6O tons of water. The acci-
ent, it is supposed, happened from the gasome-
If'. being too much charged with gas. Wil-
-1441 Morgan, an engineer, was thrown from the
7soeneter full 10 yards over the wall of Mr. An-
tirews's premises in Green-street, and killed on
h'e spot. The damage done to the neighbour-
°°d is very considerable, and a great many
persons
a( have been severely hurt. Mr. Roper's,
bone boiler) premises are completely destroyed,
114 he narrowly escaped %sith his life ; he is much
blirt• Several houses and other manufactories have
seen much injured. But the most afflicting
erne of all, is the calamity suffered by Mrs
arke, whose husband was on 'Wednesday last
Wed to death, by losing his hold, and falling
4hto a cauldron of boiling water, in Green-street,
1t:"1 Whose body lies at Gu:-'s Hospital for in-
tkiThent. The power of the water was such, on
1;B bursting of the gasometer, that it completely
43bed away Mrs. Clarke's house, and a little
in arms was dreadfully hurt, and carried
174 y by the force of the water near 50 yards
'Qin whence the house stood.

On Saturday night, or rather towards Sunday
morning, a large party of Insurgents, well armed, visited se-
veral houses in the neighbourhood of Blarney and Inniscarrs,
and made the inhabitants swear that they had no arms; but
they obtained money from several, and prescribed places in
which it should be left for them by others. They also admi.
nistered oaths against tithes, rent, and taxes. Although we
have not been able to ascertain the names of all those whose
houses were visited, yet the following are amongst the num-
ber.—Two farmers, named Hayes and Hagarty, near Mar-
nep ; Dynan, a mason; and a farmer named Coleman, who
lives at Cloughphilip. The insurgents were extremely enra-
ged on finding that some of the above persons had delivered
their arms to the Magistrates on the preceding day. They
said, that those to whom they had so unsuccessfully applied
for arms, should suffer for their obedience to the taws.
This day a party of soldiers, under the command of a ser-
jeant, escorted some prisoners from Fermoy to this city.
One of them is a female—some of them are charged under
the Insurrection Act—others for illicit distillation.

This morning James Burdon, John Burdon, and Jeremiah
Connor, were committed to the County Gaol, by Samuel Pen-
rose, Esq., charged with having arms in their possession,
which they concealed.
We understand that an account has been received here this
day from Limerick, stating that the Stewa.rd of a Mr. Burke,
of that County, was murdered, and two of his daughters vio-
lated

In coniequence of information received, Capt. White pro-
ceeded to Merchant's-quay, on Saturday, and took from on
board the Packet about to sail for Bristol, four of the pas-
sengers, countrymen, which he afterwards. lodged in the
Bridewell.

During the last week, several farmers have been visited by
night, and sums of money demanded from them, in the
neighbourhood of Ballinhassig, and where the sums required
happened not to be convenient, the inmates were sworn to
send them to certain houses appointed for the purpose, The
house Which these nocturnal depredators select for the mo-
ney to be deposited in, is always one where the occupier is
either in an infirm state of health, or at such an advanced
peflod of life as to prevent the suspicion of his being of the

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's Answer, delivcred to
Sir N. C. Colthurst, Batt M.P. for the City of Cork, on

being presented by him with the Freedom of the City.
WELLEsLEv—I accept the hondur, which you are pleased
to confer upon me, with a high sense of its importance. To
be enrolled on the Panel of Freemen of so distinguished a
City must always prove creditable to me, arid the motives
which you assign for this tt♦ark of your favour greatly-enhance
its value in my estimation. My gratitude is due to you for
the kinaness of your expressions, sand you may be assured of
:my continual anxiety to justify your confidence by a diligent
attention to my puhlic duty.

(From the Limerick News of Monday.)

Fifteen men were convicted at the Special Sessions of Rat h-
keale, and dispatched from thence to the convict ship .at.
Cork. No disposition has been yet manifested to give up
'arms. One of the convicts, named David Donovan, while being
conveyed away on a car front the Sessions-house, took off•
his hat, cheered, and exclaimed, " Boys, do not give' up a
gun !"

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MURDER OF AIRS. DONATTY.

HATTON GA RDEN.—Yesterday several witnesses were exa-
mined: Their testimony went chiefly to skew that the decea-
sed often expressed great apprehensions that she should be
murdered by some of the relations of her late husband, who
would come into possession of her property on her decease.
In consequence of this statement, David Dunatty, the bro-
ther of the deceased's husband, wets brought up and exa-
mined: He is of short stature, about 45 years of age, and
resides-in Petticoat-lane. He is well known about the Royal
Exchange, and gets his living by hawking pencils'and quills.
He bad been transported, and some time ago suffered im-
prisonment on a charge of threatening to murder the deceased.
It was further stated that at another time, when the deceased
kept a house in Acton-street. Gray's. Inn-lane, she was alarm-
ed, in the dead of the night, by a noise as if some person was
endeavouring to break into the house. She instantly got out
of bed, and on looking out of the window she saw a man in
the area at the kitchen window. The deceased took a blunder-
buss which she constantly kept loaded for her protectiOn, and
discharged it at theman,upon which he ascended the area steps,
and was about escaping, when she fired a pistol at him, but.
whether or not he was injured Was never known. The neigh-
bourhood was in consequence thrown into alarm, and the
watchmen searched the house all over, but no person was
found therein. After the confusion had ceased the deceased
retired to bed, and in the morning early, on the maid-servant
opening the yard door, she perceived the shadow of a man in
the privy. She was dreadfully alarmed, and shrunk bark,
upon which David I)onatty (the man above alluded to) came
out of the Privy, saying to the girl, " Don't be alarmed, its
me; I have been very ill with a pain in my bowels." How lie
Came there was never known, as he had not been seen at the
house for a week before. From these extraordinary circnm-
stances the Magistrate ordered him to be brought in, and he
was examined at considerable length.
He admitted having been transported, and having been
taken on a peace-warrant at the suit of the deceased ; but
declarer! he never threatened her life, but that she bad
dreamt. he canoe to murder her► and upon that visionary
dream he was apprehended.
The Magistrate said he could not place the least credit on
the latter part of his account, as no Police Magistrate would
grant a warrant against an individual fur an offence which
the person who applied had merely dreamed of.
It being now nearly four 'o'clock, th 4 investigation was
adjourned, and David Dunatty was ordered to be kept in
custody.

A private Letter from Paris says, the Chapels
at night resemble a theatrical 0. P. row in Lon-
don. When the Missionaries begin to chaunt a
psalm, the congregation rise up, waving their
hats, and interrupt the service by singing lewd
songs, accompanied by every kind of horrible
noises.

Last year, about this time, a woman of nearly
fifty years of age, residing at Burnside of Callow,
parish of Cortahhy, fell into a sleep, which con.
tinued without. interruption during two weeks.
She again relapsed into that state on Tuesday
se'nuight, and continued in a pleasant slumber
four days and five nights.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The figure which Ministers cut in the discus-
sion on .Maberly's Motion respecting the
Public Accounts was sorry enough in all con-
science. Here are men triumphing in the most
extravagant manner, when they think they have
caught any Member in an error, however trivial;
respecting their accounts ; and Mr. Maberly
comes forward, and forces them to confess that
the whole mass of them is one tissue of error and
inaccuracy,—that no two statements of any one
branch of income or expenditure agree with each
other—and tinitno mat can possibly tell whether
the money entrusted to them has or has not been
fairly appropriated. Mr. Croker can collect to-
gether a parcel of tawdry figures of speech upon
occasion, in order first to confuse a very plain
matter, and then charge that confusion on his op-
ponent ; but. in this way only can he be of any
use to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. There
is not, it would appear, sufficient knowledge
among them to devise a plan for keeping the
accounts in an intelligible manner. Year after
year they have been lost in the perplexity
created by their own ignorance and unskil-
fulness; and when all their shifts and sub-
terfuges are unavailing to prevent an expo-
sure, they throw themselves on the mercy of
some of the Gentlemen in the House acquainted
with business, in order to be taught by them the
proper manner of discharging their duty. Surely
this will teach them to affect a little modesty
hereafter, if they have none.

We have had the good fortune to obtai❑ a
copy of the letter from Mr. Arbuthnot, alluded
to by Lord John Russell, from a Gentleman to
whom it was addressed, and who was residing in
the country at the time he received it. It has
been stated to us, at the same time, that shnilar
letters were only sent to Members of Parlia-
ment then in the country, in the habit of voting
with Ministers. The following is the copy•in
question : •
(Pluswrr..) • Downing-street, WI March, 1822.
rlv DEAR Wednesday next, the 13th instant, a
motion is to be made by Lord Normatiby, to abolish the office
of one of the Postmasters-General, and on the 14th, the day
following. Mr. Creevey makes a similar'motion against the
Board of Controul.

In this manner the just and necessary influence of the
Crown is frond day to day attacked ; and as of her Motiuns
of • a similar •Aature are to be made by Lord Althorp, &c. it
will be quite impossible for any set of men to conduct Ihe
Government of this Country, Unless practices of this kind
shall be successfitlly reisted.•
It seems as if the Opposititin, in despair of coming into
Ohiice, had determined-rttlsreakttown the means of- admini-
stering the Affairs of tlie Cotintry ; and as this subject is be-
come most se: ions, I hate no scruple in apprising you of what
is now. passing, with the hope and expectation that you will
think it necessary to attend,:and thus to lend your aid in
stemming the torrent of such dangerous innovation.

four's, most sincerely,
C. ARBUTHNOT.

rNEW TIMES.]
After the season of clamour comes the season
of reflection ; and fortunately, in our country, the
latter is usually more permanent in-its operation
than the former. Solid fact is at length elicited
from the mass of misrepresentation; and good
sense is sure to prevail in the end. These re-
marks are strongly illustrated by a paper laid
last week before Parliament ; and proving that
the amount of taxes repealed since the termina-
tion of the war, after deducting- the amount of
those imposed, is little short of Seventeen Mil-
lions per annum !! So extraordinary a fact—a
fact utterly beyond all parallel in the financial'
history of the most prosperous nations, deserves
to be brought distinctly under the consideration
of every individual, who is capable of reflection
on such a subject ; we therefore lay it, with
pleasure, before our readers, as follows :
Ptoperty-Tax L 1.1,267,957
Malt Duty, England and Ireland 2 912,571
Customs, Exports, Goods coastwi,e, and Tonnage 1,105,675

pealed in 1821, and which had produced in the

posed I. 16,791,806

Two or three points seem perfectly clear,upon
the simple inspection 'of this estimate :—First,
the taxation of the country was seventeen mil-
lions heavier than it now is, when agriculture was
highly flourishing. Secondly, the distress now
complained of has been increased as the taxes
have been diminished. To infer from these pre-
mises, that taxation is the sole, or even the prin-
cipal cause of the distress, certainly requires an
intellect of a very peculiar configuration. Again,
the remission of a direct tax of ten per cent. on
the landlord's income, and half as much on the
tenant's, forming together fifteen per cent. on the
agricultural interest, was of no avail whatever to
save them from distress ; and yet they are taught
to expect a miraculous recovery, by the reduc-
tion of certain indirect taxes, which do not amount
at the utmost to two and a half per cent. !

Tun TUVI ZS.)
The issue of Air. Creevey's motion, NN ith re-
spect to the Board of Control, djd not surprise

us; but we may hence take occasion to comment
upon some of the general topics which were in-
troduced. Complaints are uttered every day
that sordid motives are imputed to public men—
that they are held up to obloquy as devoid of
honour, indifferent to the general welfare, and
studious only of private advantage. But who,
we ask, are those that utter the complaints ?
Why, public men themselves. And was there
ever a guilty man in the world that did not say
he was ill-used and injured by his ac-
cusers ? Thus much at least is certain, that
when men accept of office, and simultaneously
contradict opinions which they had held before—
here are two awkward facts brought together, from
which the public will and must draw con-
clusions unfavourable to the parties, if a suffi-
cient explanation is not given. Mr. Charles Wynn
, says, " he did not accept of office till he found
" that the opinions of those with whom he joined
" coincided with his own." In 1816, he declared,
" that he did not believe that there was a gen-
" tleman in that House who thought that the
" ridicule was not justly and properly directed
" against the dress by which that noble class of
44 men (the soldiers) had been disfigured. lie
44 would ask any gentleman if he believed that-
" the fooleries and fopperies of some regiments
44 of dragoons were the wish of their officers ?
" The ridiculous trappings which meritorious
" officers had been obliged to appear in, had
cc never been brought forward with the view of
" ridiculing the officers, but those who exposed
" them to appear in such a disguise."—(Han-
sard's Debates.)—Does this gentleman mean to
assert that the opinions of those whom he has
joined do now coincide with his own, with
respect to the propriety of simplifying the
dress of the soldiers ?—But to go more par-
ticularly to the Salt Bill and the subjects
connected with it : the same Right Hon.
Gentleman says, that he certainly voted for
The abolition of the Salt Bill formerly ; but how
can he do the same thing now, when it is deter-
mined to maintain a Sinking Fund of 5,000,000/. ?
We will tell him how, in strict conformity to his
recorded opinions, if he does not mean to give
them up—by adhering to his old conviction, that
the colonies ought to support their own military
establishments, and that those colonies which
could not do so were not worth keeping! There
was not the least occasion to vote against the re-
kal of the Salt Duties, because the Sinking Fund
was to be established, inasmuch as Mr. Wynn's
recorded opinions supplied a ready substitute for
the Salt Duties by retrenchment.

[MORNING lIERALD.I
An -intertegting discussion took place in the
House of Lords, yesterday evening, upon the
system of Tithes in Ireland, in consequence of a
Petition presented by the Duke of Devonshire
from the City of Waterford ; in which the Mem-
bers of that Corporation declared, that provided
any effectual plan were adopted for remedying
the system in question, they would be ready to
make considerable sacrifices in the Tithes of 13
parishes, of which they were the owners. And
the Noble Duke, with an equal degree of libe-
rality, said he would willingly make similar sa-
crifices with respect to the Tithes of '2.0 parishes,
of which he was proprietor. The Earl of Li-
verpool stated that the question of Tithes in Ire-
land was now under the consideration of the
Marquis Wellesley, and others of his Majesty's
Ministers; and that it was their intention to in-
troduce some plan that should remove the causes
of those complaints which had so long been made
in Ireland respecting the system in question.

[MORNING I'OST.I
The Duke of Devonshire presented last night,
in the House of Peers, a Petition from the Cor-
poration of Waterford, stating that they possessed
the tithes or thirteen parishes, and expressing
their willingness to sacrifice a share of their pro-
perty to remove the causes of the present evils.
They therefore prayed that their Lordships would
inquire into the state of Ireland, and take the
tithe system into their most serious consideration,
with a view to propose a commutation, or any
other means calculated to render them less bur-
thensome and vexatious to the people. The
Noble Duke, who is also a Lay Impropriator
of the tithes of twenty parishes, expressed
his readiness to make large sacrifices for the
same object. Ile urged the necessity of the
measure, and contended that the existing dis-
turbances ought not to prevent or delay inquiry.
The Earl of Liverpool concurred in all the sen-
timents expressed by the Noble Duke ; he stated
that both the Noble Marquis at the head of the
Irish Government and his Majesty's Ministers
had bestowed and were bestowing the most se-
rious attention upon that important subject. He
could not yet specify any particular measure
which might be introduced, but he admitted
that no pretence for delay ought to be found in
the disturbances which afflicted Ireland.—The
Marquis of Lansdowne presented a Peti-
tion to the same effect from the Lay Impro.
priators of tithes of Listowel and eleven pa-
rishes in the South of Ireland. The liberality
with which so many individuals claim leave to
sacrifice their personal interest to the welfare of
their country, not only holds forth a rich promise
of her future happiness under a more just and rea-
sonable system, but casts a redeeming glory over
the dark scenes of which she has lately been the
theatre. It is in offers like these, and not in
loud clamours to reduce the income of aged and
industrious public servants, that true patriotism
is shown.—Previously to the presentation of
these Petitions, the Royal Assent was given by
Commission to the Navy Five per Cents.' Bill,"

[BRITISH vitEss.j
The expediency
.of altering the system :of
tithes in Ireland was made the subject of some
important discussion in the House of Lords yes-
' terday evening. Petitions were presented &Om
the City of Waterford and several other places
in Ireland, in which not only the payers, but the
receivers of tithes, pray the House to relieve the
country from a system which they feel from
experience is fraught with evils of the mast
fearful rnagni:ude. The Earl of Liverpool re-
peated the information which had been pre-
siously. given to the House of Commons by
Mr. GOulburn, that the Government bad taken
this subject into most serious consideration,
with a view to ascertaining bow Gr a commuia-
tion of tithes was practicable. It is much to be
lamented that the Government had not earlier
directed its attention to this important point,—
Every hour's delay is pregnant with serious mis-
chief, as it prolongs the source of the fargreatest
part of those crimes which have occasionally
stained the character of Ireland. With respect
to the principle of a measure for commuting
tithes, it is ,most satisfactory that no difficulties
can arise from the opposition of private or personal
interests. All lay impropriators are most desirous
of having a precarious and uncertain species of
property converted into one to which they can
look with confidence ; and the same feel-
ing, we are•assured, pervades the whole body of
the beneficed clergy. An appropriation of land
in every parish for the support of the church and
the clergyman, must not only prove highly gra-
tifying to the clergy personally, but must give
even increased stability to the ecclesiastical es-
tablishment. In many parishes in the South of
Ireland no tithes have been paid for the last
twelve months, and in none have the cler-
gymen received their full dues since the re-
turn of peace. The distresses of the farmers,
and in many instances their unwillingness
to pay what they conceived to be an oppres-
sive demand, have compelled the rectors of parishes
to have recourse to the law for the recovery of
their just and legal rights, and the result has too
frequently been seen in the alienated feelings .of
the exasperated peasantry. Severity of this nature
exercised towards the poorer cicsses of society
must prove highly distressing to the minds of
clergymen and gentlemen, and it is not surpris-
ing that they should now anxiously beseech Par-
liament to relieve them from so irksome a ne-
cessity, and at the same time remove one of
the roost prolific sources of irritation and
violence among the unfortunate peasantry of their
country. The Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis
of Lansdowne and several other oble Lords,
closely connected with Ireland, expressed them-
selves very strongly upon this subject.
