OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY OF DUBLIN.
On Saturday night the house of a farmer named
Tart,-residing in the town of Rathcoole, was maliciously set on
fire, owing (it is supposed) to his having lately taken some land
in that neighbourhood. Through the exertions of Hart and
flitnily the fire was extinguished when about half the house was
'consumed. On rie same night seven houses at Ballinascorney
And Ballymaise were attacked for arms, but none were obtain-
ed. On leaving the several houses a volley was fired, after
'which three cheers were given.---(Dublin Correspondent,

Rome to elect me as a dispotick to superintend Ireland and to

able.at the temporal Tribunal of the aforesaid Monarchs, and
secondly at that awful tribunal where the best constructed fa-
brications of falsehooti will be developed, and truth only shall
preval, the aforesaid Consistorial laws being founded as the
Consistory in Rome, it is not obtruce to any human being
tho unexpert he may be that Human and devise Justice
requires a Condign punishment to be inflicted on any per-
son or persons who would be so unfortunate as to Niolate
so holy and profound a system—Vim Remained obstinate in
keeping the farms you held front Mr. Jepson, situate at old
two-pot house, But however it is a matter of indifference to me
how whether you surrender it or not this year, because my in-
clination is to settle such offences against the 25th of July next,
I did not know at the same time that you had any more stran-
gers, but the Connells, But my superintending Magistrates
whose duty is to Indogate what tendency the people may be de-
voted to thus informes me that your place is still a recepticle fur
strangers and that you have a herdsman and dairywoman
On in two pot house who are strangers which I require you
to discharge before the 25th inst. But if you persist I will
commit al your Houses to turextinguishable flames likewise I
will drengh my sword in the Blood and Slaughter of your
Cattle, to make a short conclusion I will inflame the frantick
jaws of destruction to Champ your person and property there-
fore comply and do not regret your obstinacy when too late—

ATTACK ON THE GLEUE.IIOUSE Or FAKKIHY.—We
before stated the substance of this daring attack by the In-
surgents, the following further particulars have come to our
knowledge —When the mob were seen rushing towards
the house, Dlr. Townsend'a eldest son, a boy of about
thirteen years of age, with wonderful prudence and pre-
sence of mind, slipped' out of the house the back way, and
eoutrived to convey an alarm to the military stationed at Xi].
dorrery, about a mile distant ; the second son, but twelve years
old, seized a stick with a bayonet on it, and told Mrs. Town.
send not to fear, for that he would protect her. The Insurgents
broke through the parlour-windows, and one of them, putting
a pistol to Mrs. Townsend's head; prevented her stirring,whilst
the rest searched the house for anus. They did not hurt the
child who attempted to oppose them, nor take any thing but
arms, although there was a good deal of plate in the house, and
the church plate lying in an open cupboard. By the speedy
alarm given to the military, a party soon arrived, who took up
a nurnheiVl persons, of Whom two are clearly identified.
