• DROGHEDA, DF.i.:.9.---Early on the 'morning or
Monday laSt, Mr. Taylor, High Constable of
the paiony of Daleek,. aided by a party of Po-
lice, succeeded' in aspprehending the
nottd Offenders, viz. Carr, L',piccr, Shaw, and'
Vinegar) (alias Morgan), at Rusn4ree;near.Slanei
The villain: were discovered "cabin, re-
galing theinsuives, and made a desperate resist-
ance ; they fired on the Police, and.the latter iired
on them : two of the former, we understand,
wcre wounded-Hone in the breast, the other in
the hand. The robbers were not, however, ()Ter-
come until severely wounded, particularly iCarr,
who had an arm' broken in, the confiig. After
being properly secured, they were pa into a cart,
and conveyed under a strong guard to Navan.—
Mr. Hamilton, the Magistrate, committed them
to prison.
It is Said that this desperate banditti robbed two
men from the North, who were
,proceeding to the
Fair of Navan, to purehase.cattle, of 1501. on
Sunday evening.
Our readers will recollect, Carr ,was the fellow
who fired apt Mr. Garnett, of Ashcan), in his ear-
fiage, proceeding to this town, last summer. Re
Was apprehended for this offence, and committed
to Trim gaol ; from whenCe lie escaped •in dis-
guise, having 'exchanged clothes with his sister,
who was admitted to see him.

We have it from authority, that this diabolical
,
(Carr.) was the person who murdered the
guard of the Galway •mail. Ile took a place on'
the roof, and when his associates stopt the carri-
age, and the guard was preparing to fire, he in-
stantly turned round and shut hhn.
We' consider it a great blessing to this part of
the kingdom,, that gang are in custody.—
There was no safety, even in day-light; for pas-
sengers travelling•through some parts of the coun-
t 7 of Meath. - - , .

Meath and Louth will exhibit a melancholy
picture of the depfavity of many of the lower or-
ders, at the ensuing assizes.
-At Ti\rav:tn fair, on Monday last, We are inform-
.ed., prime cattle fell 30s. per head, and but few
buyers for light Cows.
NEWRY, 9.----Last Fr idly, Morning Lord
and Eadv Killmorey left with intention
of g. oipg to their seat in the forth of England,
via Dublin.

Last. ni,'rht, about seven o'clock, four men, three
in sailors' dresses, the other with a red jacket,istbp-
ped the Warrenpoint .post-boy, about the middle,
of the Park-wall, and robbed him of the mail, con,

tabling the Rdstreor and Warren-point bags, for
Dublin.

On Sunday night last, some villain or villains
unknown, entered the back yard of 1:r. Robert
Guy, in Boat-street, . and _carried therefrom a
quantity of leather. ItiSito,be.hoped the nume-
rous roberies that have lately t?Aen place in this
town and -its vicinity, will 'induce the
triter to:ll,,lve a meeting of the inhabitants con-
vened, for the purpose of establishing a nightly
patrole.
On Sunday evening, nobert.M‘Garth and Te-
rence WAnulty, of this town), were robbed on
the. road, three miles from N.,sivan, by three men,
armed with biunderbussci, who took from them
130/.

Extus, DEc. are sorry to be informed
that two cows, the voperty Of G. W. Stackpoole,
Esq. Were clifted on the lands of Edenvale, on
Monday night..
It heartily grieves us to have to add another to
the catalogue of crimes which have of late dis-
graced some p.rt. ,of our 'county. On Monday
night last, Some nefarious miscreants set fire to
the dwelling-:-louse and out-offices a Mr. I'att
Nihill, at \Velale-hill, near Ballinacally, which,
together with a large quantity of corn, hay, and
straw; were ent:iu;y co::-anned: .Mr. Nihill and
family barely escaped with their lives,,as every
arficie of furribure and wearing apparel fell a prey
to the devouring element. , This is the -hird at-
tack 'mule on thiS Gentleman's life and.property
and what renders the circumstance truly astonish-
ing is, that no reason is, or can t e assigned for
the commission, of the diabolical deed. ~:fhe da-
mages sustained, on this last-o'ccasion, 'we arein-
formed, ekceeds six hundred pounds. I,Ve sincerely
hope that the Gentlemen of that neighbourhood,
and of the county at_large, will take the matter
into their tunt serious consideration, and leave
no means • untried to check such alarming pro-
ceedings.
