Rpm-, !the source, we withheld it. Yesterday,
however, we received similar intelligence from
what we deem sufficient authority, and we have
little doubt that, by farther advices, the fact will
be found nearly as we have above stated.

- We have as usual made some extracts from the
Irish Papers. We are sorry to observe that the
condition of the distracted country is not yet
improving. Its Journals contain the details of
• many more outrages than those, the accounts of
:Which we have transferred to our columns. Amongst
tlleM we observe, in the Kerry Evening Post,
,the particulars of another attempt to burn a
Church,---that of Templenoc. The incendiaries
had entered the sacred edifice by one of the win-
dows •
, and having collected several Prayer
/300 ks and a large folio Bible, they set fire to
them under the seat of, a pew. The books were
• ea:Jinn-led ; but the flames, happily, had spent their
furce before the wood above was sufficiently
ignited to effect the diabolical object of the re-
flan:; ; and though part of the floor was burned,
the Church providentially escaped destruction.
There has been a most unfortunate and fatal
l'''t!cantve, by Mistake; betWeen•tWo parties of
• the King's troops, each headed by a Magistrate,
the night, in the neighbourhood of Mal-
-10.4% The Rev. Mr. Lowc, a Magistrate, and a
man of most,amiable character, was killed. All
the particulars which are yet known of this
t'eplorahle event are given amongst our Irish
extracts.
On Monday last, the netition of Rural 07CoN-
I'r°a) Esq. a Roman Catholic, praying to I.* ad-
Ellitted to the freedom of the Guild of Merakants
of the City of Dublin, by grace, especial, was
.I>resented to,the Guild, and rejected. Mr.
~ICEss demanded a ballot, which was supported
by M. 1). LATOUCHE and Mr. JAMES GRATTAN,
anti opposed by Mr. BUaNE (King's Counsel),
Alderman :ARCHER, Alderman NO'GENT, Mr.
SLITTER, and others. The motion for a ballot
\vas withdrawn. The Consideration of the pe-
thion of FRANCIS Conn,Esq. another Roman
Catholic, was postponed sine die ; but a ballot
was granted, the result •of which we shall per-
Laps be enabled to communicate to-morrow.

cupied with the Catholic Question, instead of
elng, devoted to the improvement of the internal
condition of the country, and to the removal of
the
real grievances of the population. How
