IRBLAND.

An outrage of the most wanton ,and wiclted de-
.
scription was perpetrated at Ballyclogha, near
Glen, .county of Waterford, on Sunday night last.
About 10 o'clock a nomber Of men attacked the
house of Tatrick Foran, situated on a farm which
he/ had lately taben at that place, and, after turn-
ing oaf the'family which be bad left in charge of
the house, set it and 26 stacks of rape on. fire.
We have not-heard the amount of the damage, or
that any of the incendiaries have yet been appre-
hended. lt is proper that the misguided and ig-
norant, who are seduced into unlawful associa-
tions against the,industrious farmer, should know,
that arson, or wilful fire raising, is a capital felony,
and that every individual aidirig or assisting in the
commission Of the crime is deemed, in law, a prin-
cipal, and will, on conviction, be punished ac-
cordingly.—(Waterford Mirror)
On. Monday evening, John Walsh, a boy
about .13 years of, age, who was angling. off the
fish-house, fell front his seat, and was drowned.
The body'had not been found on Tuesday night.
We are happy to learn that the murder of the
unfortunate female, whose decapitated body was
lately, found hidden it't'a bog near Tory Bill, -is
likely soon to .he discovered. A variety of cir-
cumstances tend to fix suspicion on a young man
Who has absconded. The particulars have been
communicated to us—but, for ob clogs reasons we
cannot make them public. The high character
and unwearied assidnit.y of the gentlemen wbo
Wive engaged in the investigation of this myste-
rious affair, afford a fair promise that the sangui-
nary wretch, who imbrued his hands in .the blood
of this helpless female, shall not long escape of-
fende_d justice. The murder was perpetrated by a
Slane;' and, as the girl was knownto haVe a pound
note and some change in her possession the even-
ing before she met her n4timely fate, it is sup-
posed that the barbarian was prompted by avarice
to destroy the hapless and unsuspicious.possessoe;.
The murder was -committed on the 24th jnnel,
tWerity-seven days before -the body was eli3p,over-
, ed, apcf five weeks before the suspected person ab-
scontled.—(ibid.)
The regulating Captain at this port, has made
known to thG fishermen on ,the river and adjoin-
ing coast, that-he is authorised by the Lords Com-
'mitsioners of the Admiralty, to grant protections
in favour of thosefishermen who tirnish the navy
e;"- ills their quota of 'men, at the rate of one sea-
man or two landmen for every,:ten fishermen, that
being the proportion determined on by their Lora-

MPORTANT Minister of Roth
say brought an actiOn of trespass in the Edin-
burgh Court of ElXtiieqiier, against a person etn-
ployed by the Collector of Assessed and Prcperty;
Taxes, for levying- the same contrary to the laws
of the ancient realm of ScOtland. The Reverend
Gen-dein4n_ pleaded exemption, as a Clergyman
of the 'Established Church of" Scotland, in virtue
Of certain Acts of the Sciitish Parliament, which
he contended, exempted the SCOtrisit Clergy froM
payment of all taxe3,4ast, present, and to conre.'
On the part of the Crown, it was: answered, that
no such exemption was ever given by the Acts in
question; and should they have even happencul to
contain any such favourable clause,. the win le.
had been: unconditionally surrendered at .the
Union. The Court Was occupied two entire
days upon thiS serious question,,when an opinion
was unanithously giVen, that the C;lergy had no
right whatever to the'exemption claimed.
A very extensive gang of forgers have been dis-
covered >at lrvine,.in Scotland. When they were
apprehended, they had in their possesssion a great
'number of forged notes of various hanks-in Sco-
tland, viz. the.Greenock, Rentrewshire, and Castle
Douglas. This gang was about tb take shippiog
for Ireland, when they were seized ; one of then,
named Mackay, a ,noted dealer in such kind of
goods, effected hiS escape, and it is supposed he
has arrived in this country.
