DUBLIN -11-ILII'RE.-PEACE RESTOREI):

DUEL/N, DEC. 29.—The Theatre re-opened last
bight; and every thing went off with good order
and cordiality.
At the rise of the curtain Mr.-13:ocK made his
appearance; and obtained.permisSion to read the
documents respecting the resignation of the late
Manager, which have been made public. To the
address .of Mr. JoNEs he sheered 4t written signa-
ture, and testified that it was _Mr. JONES'S I,l;iod-
writing. There was a declaration distributed in
the evening, which has not as yet made its
ap-
pearance in the Newspapers, and this he also
read.

After the above was read, a Gentleman asked
" What remuneration are the Performers to re-
ceive ?"—Mr. Rock answered, "'They arc. to get,
a Benefit immediately." A loud plaudit followed,
and a second question was put—" Of what de-,
scription," said a Gentleman in the boxes, " are
the Trustees ?" " The Trustees; Gentlemen," re-
plied Mr. Rock,. " are in number four, and their
Imams are as I shall repeat :—The Earl of Meath,
Mr. Denis Bowes Daly, Colonel Talbot, and Mr.,
Taylor:' Here. there was another plaudit. As
soon as silence was obtained, Mr. Rock inquired
whether the audience demanded any further ex-
planation relative either to himself- Or the other
persons concerned with the Theatre There was
a general cry of No, no, and he retired.
The play then went on, mill all the performers,
with the exception of three or four, were received
with loud cheers.

tl most •melancholy occurrence happened at
Bandon, on Sunday morning, It being Christmas-
day, the NOman Catholic Chapel was unusually
crowded with persons. at early service, when an
alarm was given that the gallery was giving way :
the greatest consternation and ^onfusion ensued,
numbers were seen leaping from the gallery into
the aisle, and from the windows into the street,
by which many were severely injured and bruis-
ed ; and in the crush in comingsout of the house,
six.pers::ns were unfortunately killed, and up-
wards of thirty desperately hurt. ' That renders
this circmustance most inelancholy, is, there be-
ing tm cause for the alarm, but the falling of One
of the gallery forums. 'The house suffered mr.te-
rial injury, by the breaking of windows, doors,
&c;—(Corp blelligeAcer.) .

DUEL.-Friday, a merriut; took place between
Captain C--, of the 79th root, and Lieutenant
of the 13th Dragoons, both of this
t'arrison, at which, we nue sorry to state, that the
latter gentleman received ttvo wounds, one in the
arm and the other in the thigh, which we are in-
formed, are likely to prove dangerous.' The dif-
ference which gave rise to the duel which has thus
unfortunately terminated, arose froth observations
made by the Lieutenant on Captain C's. igno-
rance in the arrangement of a Garrison
MURDER.—On the night of the sth, or early
on the morning of the 6th of the present month,
• Thos. &Titan, Tythe Proctor to Major Banbury,
who is the lay improprietor of the parish of Kil-
lerrig, in the County of Carlow, was most wan-
tonly .ItHI -inhumanly murdered on his-. way home
front the market. It appeared on
.the Coroner's -
Inquest, Ott Brenan had been fired at in a
.pub-
lie house, some time previous to the murder, by
some Peron unknown ; and a little before that
time, had been severely beaten by the servant of.
a. farmer %eh° resided in. that neighbourhood.—
These circumstances have given rise to some sus-
picio„ of the persons supposed to be concerned in
the conspiracy which caused the death of the un-
forttmate man, who was found, on the morning of
the 6th inst, in the gripe of a ditch, near Browne''s
Hill, with his scull broken, as if beat in by a
-smith's hammer. A 'reward of 5001. has been
'offered by the Magistrates and Gentlemen-of the
County, and a farther sant by the Masonic Lodge,
No.-116, fur such a discovery as may lead to a
conviction of the perpetrators of this horrid out-
rage ; and the Government has promised a free
pardon to all concerned, except such as actually
eminnitted the murder. This mode of proceed-
ing, will, it is hoped, lead to a discovery.
,It may
be proper to observe, that deceased was a man of
-the most innocent and harnaess.description ; and
though he had been a Tythe Proctor for many
years, we have not heard of any complaint against
him for oppression or improper conduct in his
official capacity. But he had, it appears,, a few
months ago, confornwd to the Established Church,
and this, together with .his having been -a Free-
mason, may have been deemed by some people
worthy of death.
SHOCKING Mtrancn-.—Under deepfelt and con-
tending emotions of horror, indignation and dis-,
tress, we tave'this day to record the murder of
Mr. Corry Hurst, a respectable Revenue Officer,
who was treacherously shot in the streets of
Ballyshaarion, about II o'clock on the night of
the 15th inst. He. was returning from Mr. Do-
noglier's Inn to his own lodging, near the bridge,
in. company with a Mr. Green, when, passing
the Market House, where, it would seem the de-
liberate assassins lay- in wait; a man approached,
and, after hesitating a tittle, as if to. discriminate !
and ascertain his object, discharged a pistol at
Mr. Hurst. Suspecting as it Is conjectured, that
their sanguinary purpose was unaccomplished,
Mr. LI. not having fallen, another immediately
advanced, levelled closer, and fired a second shot,
Which passing throng!) his body he fell upon his
face, eiclairning he was killed ! and almost- in-
stantly expired... Favoured by the darkness of the.
night, the lateness or the hour, and by the con-
fusion inseparable front such a fatal-affair, the
villains effected their escape for the present, drop-
ping in their alarm and harry, it pistol, a ramrod,
and a shoe newly soled, which were afterwards
found on the toad by which they fled. For the
coimnission of this cold-blooded and preconcerted •
assasination, no possible motive, as we are in- •
formed, can be assigned, but that die deceased
was an Officer active, honest, and incorruptible
in the discharge of his daty.—The morning after
the murder, an Inquest-was held on the body— !
Verdict—Wilful Murder against some person or
persons unknown.—Mr. Hurst- has left a widow
to Janient his sudden and ptenrature fate;. and his
aged and respectable father and. family, stn the

DRgAnt,cri.litoT AT LINCOLLIG.—We
in having to state, it very alarming riot which took
place no Christmas night, at t3allincolli a repe-
tition of which, we sin ttaist, we shall never
have occasion to record. illaiOr EyELY, COW-
: mantling Officer at lialliucollig, is as strict and
careful an Officer -as bears- his Majesty's Commis-
sion, yet such a night as Christmas is always sup-
: posed to. warrant a link relaxation, and accord-
. ingly the soldiers werle-permitted to_ bring some
liqnor into the barracks, rather than they should
drink in the public licifise3 witliont. At a certain
proper time the non-commissioned officers warned
the gunners and drivers to retire, to bed. This
the former iminedideely complied with, but the
latter positively refused.. To enforce obedience,
the guard of the depot was'ordered out, but on
their appearance, they if ere assailed in so furious
a manner by the drivers, who had provided them-
selves with pichforks and other vveapons, as to
effectually succeed in disarming tire guard.—lm-
mcdiately the whole depot was in coillinotinll, tire
gunners ran to heal the indignity offered to theiry
comrades, and the drunken drivers to asist their
brother drivers,- when, by the vigorous exertions
of Major EvELY, and the Officers; the riot was
appeased.—Three drivers were fouml dead, and ,
15 gunners and drivers wounded.
Load) NM:Rill, DEC. 27.---The -storm which
was felt here on Friday the 1601 instant, and of•
which we gave some account in our last., appeafs
to have been much more severe and destructiVe;
in its consequences, in almost every other partvol
-the Kingdom. Hardly a town roam(' the Irish
coast but has experieilced damage of some sort.
Houses were unroofed, and chitimies hloywi dowli,
and many lives have been lost. by the falling of
houses. The most melancholy accounts are al-
most daily_heard of the loss of shipping. The
Eliza, of this port, Captain O'Scally, who sailed
on the day preceding, •with a number of. passen-
gers, for the Clyde, was upset, atter coining to
an anchor at Troon, and twelve passengers and
one seaman perished; the remainder of the pas-
sengers and crew escaped with great difficulty, af-
ter remaining several hours on the wreck.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

. Yesterday two men were charged before the
LORD MLAYOR with having a pocket-book in their
pOssesion, containing about-a hundred pounds in
hank notes, supposed to he stolen ; it appeared
from the evidence of a shOpkeeper in LeSdenhall-
street, that the prisOners came to his shop on Sa.•
turday night last about ten o'clock, and agreed for
a watch, one of them offering a fifty pound note
for 'change ; the witness told them. he could not
change a fifty potmd note,, and asked it he had
any sivaller notes ; the one who gave the note said
he thought it was a ten, when the other pulled
Out some other notes, but _did not seem to know
their value, which induced the witness to -stiveet
them and asked how they came by the notes, when
one of the prisoners told hint he had the money front
Iris master for wages, mentioning a name and place
of abode in Fleet-street, which pro%ed to be false..
Upon being asked how they came in possess;on of
the notes,he sahrthe other prisoner found a pocket-
book s'itli the notes, and as he could not read.
himself he asked him to look at them, which he
did, and changed a one ponnd note. Alt old man
claimed the pocket-book and money, and Said his'
name was Hambleton, that he lived at Airs. Gold-
smith's, Poplin's-court, Fleet-street, that having.
Occasion to retire to an eld building in a hinny
last Saturday night, he dropped his book ; not
niissiiu it directly, he went back in twenty mi-
nmes, but could not, find it, that •it contained
1741: hut his name was not in the book ; the
.book was produced by the Officer, which be took
from the prisoners, but it contained only 1037.;
the prisoners denied their knot% ing any thing of
any othcr notes but one pound. His Lordship
told the prisoners they must find the notes defi-
cient, and told Hambleton he must advertise the
notes, and remanded the prisoners for furt4er ex-
amination next Thursday.
