of arms,; ,Mr. Leake'was from home,. or the fel-

The boily of John Corneal, who was so inhu-
rnstely murdered near Pallas-Kenry, as stated in
our last, is not yet t. tad, though-the most dili-
gent. search has been made Steit. Thelba.ow-
ieg further,particulars of that. harleerotn; murder
have been sent us :—About two o'clock at noon,
on 'Friday, Corneal went to the hesuse of John
Fitzgerald, of • Ballyvogue, to collsact money,
promised, to be paid to the Rev.' Fratacis Laug-
ford,..,by wheat he was deputed ; Coriseal was
accompanied by his son, a lad of thirteCN years
of a-ge: On entering the house, he found thvat the
corn was winnowihg, and preparing for mat vet,
and upon the solicitation of the persons in ,i4f!
house, Corneal desired his son to return to M.
Langford, and ask •him, would he give further
time for the payment ; the boy returned about
live o'clock in company..with a labourer of Mr.
Langford's, of the name of Naughtin, and on en-
teriug Fitgerald's honSe, no trace whatever of
Corneal cou!d be found.- The next day, several
marks of blood were observed both inside and
outside the door, and particularly among some
slraW, which lay in an inner room. This was at-
tempted to be accounted for by some women,
who; said, that a goose had been killed during the
day; but a very young child of Fitzgerald's said
to the persons who were inquiring for Corneal,
ihat her father- had killed him with a hatchet.
Neither Fitzgerald, or a second person who was
there on. his. entry, can since be heard of. Mr.
%Valler, Colonel Westropp, Mr. Fitzgerald,
Rev.. Mr. Langford, Rev. Mr. Westropp, :and
the other gentlemen of that -neighbourhood, have
been indefatigable in their pursuit after the sus-
pected perpetrators of this mysterious murder.
Since writing the above, a man named Bow-
roan has be: n sent into gaol, charged with the
crime. Fitzgerald, who has absconded, is about
-forty years of age, dark countenance, :but at
present pee, 'frcm 'recent sickness; black 'hair,
black beard, and 5 feet 5 inches high. Corneal
had an excellent character, and has left a widow
end seven helpless Orphans.
• Extract of a I tter, dated Police-Office, Rath-
kettle, Few. 27 Neither military or pPlice
were I resent at the time the outrage occurred on
Bernard M'Closky, near Rathkeale. On the first
intimation of the business, the Police repaired to
the spot Where lie was assaulted, and found all
quiet. They used every exertion in their power
to find out the delinquents, and resorted to every
thing fOr M'Closky's accommodation, whom they
lodged in the house of a Policeman, as none other
wcu!d admit hint." -
We understand that several respectable per-
sons, who reside in thatched houses, have sent
friends in this city, their fire arms; that they
should not fall into the hands of the lawless ban-
ditti, that have, within this week, so succesifully
obtained a vast quantity of such weapons.
•On Thursday last, a gentleman in the.nei-gh-
bourhood-of Shanagolden, dreading that his'house
might be broken into in search of fire-arras, Kent
up by boat three fowling-pieces, a
.masket, and
case of pistols with directions to deliver them
to his friends in Limerick ; hoWever, on this'<at'-
1431 of the boat at Arthar's-qnay, on- Thursday
niht, the entire were carried off. Every 'search
has been made to recover them without effect.—
Alderman Watson 'has committed to jail a-man,
charged on oathe with the offence.

CHESTER AND DUBLIN.--Feeling a strong in-
terest in the Dawpool Establishment, with much
gratification we are :enabled' to State that thought
slow, its progress is sure ; during the late Festi-
val, not only expressive, but active measures were
adopted by several county gentlemen, not merely
from the influence of an interest
,in.the old Ches-
ter line of road; but real patriotic impressions,
justly judging, that what so greatly benitited a
part, must eventually diffuse goad • through the
whole,--nay, so much are we impressed with
the.great importance of the subject, that we can
'but, acknowledge our surprize, that' a County
Meetingshas not yet been called to co-operate
witlf•the City COmmittee.--(Che'ster Courant.)
FEMALE Lady COCHRANE

was on board the San 'Martin, taking leave of
her husband previous' to her return to England,
Loud *CoeHaANE discovered that a vessel, laden
with specie, was about to leave Callao, and he
made instant dispositions to secure it. As it was
under the batteries, Lord COCHRANE attacked
them in 'the night, and his Lady remained on
deck cheering the Chilians, who .forrzied.the crew,
three of. whom fell by her' side. On one of the
gunners sheaving symptoms of fear, Lady Cocu-
RANE m rested the match from his hand, de-
sired him to begone, and fired the gun ! }!c-
Ladyship's object in coming to England without
her Lord is the education of her two sons.

We have much pleasure in hearing, that Adm:-
ral Lord EXMOUTH has *accepted the etliee of
President to that excellent institution, the'`• Li-
verpool Seamen's Friend Society and Bethel
Union."—(Ltverpool Cosrie.•.)
