CORK, March 17.
Early yesterday morning an armed body of
insurgents attacked the gate house of Old Court,
within five miles of this city, the residence
of Alexander Glasgow, Esq., a magistrate.
They attempted to force the lodge door, demanding
the surrender of arms ; but the keeper stood inside,
ready to fire on the first intruder. Before effecting
an entrance they were alarmed, and fled. There is
great dread of outrages on St. Patrick's night, but
up to this hour none are reportqd.

HER MAJESTY'S LEVEE (Yesterday).—His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales held the second Levee of
the season, on behalf of her Majesty the Queen, at St.
James's Palace. As so short a time has elapsed since
the last Levee, there were not so many presentations as
before, hut still the number was v6ry considerable, including
many of the recently-elected high sheriffs of the various
counties of England and Wales. As this was a Collar day
the knights wore the Collars of the various orders.
COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—Between two and
three o'clock yesterday morning the brig John and Isa-
bella, of Whitby, coal-laden for Gibraltar, when about 18
miles south of Beachy Head, was run down by the brig
Concordia, of Sunderland, and instantly sank. The cap
tain and crew were unable to SONO anything, and had
only just time to scramble on board the Concordia. They
were landed at Dover by the boats of the brig, and, in
an utterly destitute state, were brought to the Sailors'
Home. They will be sent on to London, on their way to
Whitby, this tnorhi>Dg•
