rat our -north-east frontier. The irruptions which

pintraered, &c. are the reasons why war has
'been declared. Government attempted to put a

rnand of Lieut.-Colonel DALRYMPLE, were in-
spected by Lord Foil Es in the military held ad-
joining the. Barracks, preparatory to- their embar-
kation, which has taken place this day. We never

- Co, Nfonda.y. last, a concourse of notorious fel-
lows sere coMeeted to hold an illegal possession
of part of the lands of Mitchelstown, near Knock-
]oug, .in this. county; and it appearing to Messrs.
Keys, Madden, and Gubbins, that it would be a
good . opportunity to seize these armed ruffians,
v.ho have been disturbing the peace. of the coun-
ty, they applied to Godfrey' assy, Esq. of HAY-
aud that active Magistrate, xvitii his usual
promptitude, sent for a detachment of the army
to Kilfinnan.• On the appearance of the Magis-
trate, and many of his friends, the fellows, to
the number of 50, drew up in a line, and refused -
to lay do-wit their arms ; when suddenly the mill:.
Lary, comluetcd in the most judicious manner by
111-ssrs. Keys asid Madden, appeared,, and were
fired. upon., which the sordiery returned. The
fellows fled in all directions, except three (of in-
famous character) who were taken, and seven
stand of. arms, We understand that 15 more- of
the party are identified.—Saturday night a new
house on the lands of Cratloe, parrnf the estate of
Lord eieorge Quin, was maliciously levelled to the
ground.---(Limerick Chronicle.)
LACING,--Last Tuesday Mrs. Graham,
who lately lived near Churchill, dropped down
on Grange-hill, on her road to Armagh
TO a ket. Iler sudden death is-attributed to tight
lacing, and the pressure produced on her chest
and stomach by a board which extended down her
e,tays, and probably prevented the circulation of
.the blood.—(Freernart's Journal, • May 5 )
