COMMITTRD OiClonmel gaol ACT)
Esq. on the 16!1‘ inst. Richard Burki, charged
with having conce,iled on his persona number of
counterfeit notes, purporting to be of the Banks of
Messrs. R6ll, and Messrs. Wataon, of Coma!,
Mr. Anderson, of Fernhy, and Sir Thomas Roberts
and Co. in Cork ; and tis,ilr Carey, charged with
aiding and assisting said Burke in such concealment.
Burke is an unfortunate child of not more than 13
or 14. years old, but seems perfeetly trained to his
business of Bankers' Clerk to the Banditti by whom
these notes are put into circulation ; and at the time
of his apprehension, he had i+o counterfeits, from
five guineas to six shillings each, folded in an hand.
kerchief, which was tied round his body, under his
coat and waistcoat.

On the t 3th inst.. Mr. Jocelyn Hickey, and Mr.
W. A. Hunt, repaired with a party of the Cavan
Militia to the neighbourhood of Tomgraney, C.Juo.
ty Clare, where they deteded and destroyed a num-
ber of private distilleries, spilled 5000 gallons of
pot—ale: and findings, and returned to Ennis with
a large still head and two worms, which they
lodged in His Majesty's stores. So prevalent is
this pernicious trade in that part of the country,
that nothing less than a..stationary military force is
adequate to put it down.

MILITARY Fars.--O:1 Fridly se'nnight, at the
opening of 'a magnificent new dining.ronm, a grand
Fete was given hy.Lord and Lady RIJIBLESDALE,
at Gisburne Park, to the Officers anti friends of the
Craven Legion, of which his Lordship is Colonel.'
About :go cards of invitation to a Ball and'Supper,
it is supposed, were circulated ; nearly the whole
of that number, comprising all the prinaip II families
in the neighbourhood, attended ; and it justly may
be said, more' beauty and elegance never were dis.
played in that part of the country, if, indeed, c*•
celled in any.
It is stated in a Saturday's Paper, that the noted'
Blackman . escaped from North Shields last war,
while on his parole. This is, however, a mistake.
He had been that day on parole with a Gentleman
of the town, but he delivered, himself to the guard
before he made his escape.--(true Mercury.)

mannu Castle, a carrot which weighed 2 lb. t+ oz.

Thursday se'nnight an unfortunate.young woman
was CURC ,vered lying by the side of a hay-rick near
the bottom of Ne W.-41feet, Burton-upon-Trent, in.
a state of inaensibility; her cap appeared to have
been cut with a knife in many places,' her scull was
inghtte.d with the end of a brick found near her ;
St small'bundle of shoemakers' leather scraps, tied
with a wax end and•bloody, was also lying'on the
spot, She is still alive, but unable to give any ac.
count' of the transaftiots. The Parish Officer of
Burton.Fxtra is laudably exerting himself ti.vdis-
cover the wretch who had exercised such singular
enmity to an unhippy female.
