DUBLIN, Ayr:. 11.

..EA 1.1" yesterday morning as the LimetickMail.
Coach was passiog by Cheriyhill,+on'its.Way from
IVlOnastareven to. Kildare and Dublin, a number of
persons appeared. suddenly in the road, and,fired
several shots: the Gi.tard returned the fire, and the
coachman urging his horses, the Mail was brought
away in safety. We are sorry to' add, that the
brave Guard who thus n'obly proteCted his charge;
was severely wounded in the 'anti and thigh with
slugs. A great number of shots passed through
the coach without injury to the' otily pasecler it
contained.

In consequence of orders received on Tuesday
night, Mr.. Justice DRUR Y, at a veky early hour
yesterday morning arrested in his house in Cam.
den-streer, Mr. Rass APCOIM, a Gentlenian
,very
generally known in this City. Ail his Fptrs, &c.
were sealed up, 'and Mr. APCitnn himself con.
veyed to the Prison of Kiltnainhant. Mr. /11'Covi
holds the very lucrative 'office of Land.waiter on
the Custom-house Quay, to which he was appoint.
ed-during the short Administration of Earl Frcz.
wss. ; he had been previoutly Secretary- to
Whig Club, and has, been,of late Agent and princi-
pal Managet. of Mr. GRATTAN'S affdri.. It would
not become us-to echo the rumours which have been
circulated-upon the subjeft of this arrest ; nor have
we. heard with,. any certainty what the 'charges
against Mt'. lti‘Ganu consist of, but hope that he
will be fully able to disprove them, be they what
they may.

It is said that the flight 'Of the'piOnger Emmr. t
has'been,traced.to Howth, from whence he embark-
ed on the Ist inst. in a small vessel which waited
at a distance to convey him from,lreland.
