EDPRIURGII,-.1 AN. I T.

,THE severity of Winter b-gan here earlier. this
season ihan,,usual, and tlif :changeableness' of the
weather was never mre-observable.' 'For several
days we had frost and thaw alternately, btit still the
first fill Of snow continues on'the ground. Yester-
day evening we had an additional fail' of snow, and
this day it has' begun again. Sheep on high grounds
have suffered much, and many flocks have been
driven to the low gmunds•for shelterandfood.
On Friday las.t. Fishing-boat of about eight tons
burden,,--htlongiirg to tilakeney, with three-men-and
a boy, arrivediabScarbro', in a strong gale.of wind,
with t very iletiVy'sea from the N. E. • They had
bee'n at the.Frit4,,of Furth on the Herring Fishery,
and on their:return met ‘vzli such stormy weather
and rough seas; That, notwithstanding their endea,
yoUrs, they could not gain any other previous har-
bour -on the. coast. The escape is considered as
signal, :and almost miraculous. •
On Friday 'three post_chaises with State Prison-
' er's, from Fort. George for Ireland, passed at the
Queensterry.

A•ccounts which we 'have received from the City
and County of_ Limerick, detail the enormities
which are constantly pradised there
.by an unsub-
dued horde "bt ruffians, :whose• stubborn perseve:- •
sauce in violating the taws of Society,. are a stain
on the face of humanity,' and almost au: cunt to a
national disgrace. Su late 'as Thursday night last,
nuMber of rhos.e miscreants, after mounting them_
selves on horses stolen from the stables of the'lteV.`
Mr. Floar, •A:;ler4in- .Gabbet, and some others,:
proceeded in a l ogy to di i3osses` such of the farmers.
of their arms in the adjoining District as they sus-
peetei to_ hare any. , The neighbourhood of -Mani-,
ster, Ballycabane, and Fedamart, were particularly-
the .'scenes of their inquisitorial outrage. These
predatory rtiffians:visited the house of :. J. Mo-
lony, of QortAdvighi'and demanded his arms, which
being refUsed-,----they were proceeding to break;-open
his doors, but Molony 3rt d ills flmiiv, with praise-
worthy .resolution, sallied from the rear of his
dwelling, and gave his invaders a cwarm and lin:
expeaid reception, of man arms,
from the reni-iin;ng ir;farks, must haVe .done auiple
execution.' Th report of Mr. Molony.'s fire
brought twO):i4.l2boulls.to his assitanCe,
ing likewise arnica, forced this daring- banditti to
retire; and when morning broke, `they were traced
by the sanguine marks of the combat,. :to the.very
Ciry of Limerick. The horses which had, lice-v.--
borrowed from the afore-mentioned. Gentlemen; re-
turned next morning most dreadfully wounded. In
consecine:ice. of this; outrage, two fellows, who
were .soon discover(=d. to ,have suffered; from Mr.
Molony's brave re•Astance, were apprehended and,
lodged in gaol ;=--.their narks are, 'Patrick -Xeogh
and yolthillerd,e; and on , Saturday last,• Michael
Keogh, of .lallinacurra turn 1.7 ikei and Cdnnor Noonan,.
were 'taken into custody, charged with being of the
same gang-.
The house of Mr. John Vaughan, of Bailin-
vollagli, in the County of Limerick, was broke
open- on Friday night last,
,by
,a gang of armed
men, who plundered it of a quantity_ of fire arms,
,and about ksol.. in Money. This Gentleman's
'.uncle (Mr. F. Boland, itnd some others'of his fa-.
mily), fell vidims some time since to the ruthless
hand of assassination. •
