STATE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN.

Dublin, we regret to say, still continues in a very disturbed
state; and pillage was attempted in various quarters throughout
yesterday, in many instances with success. The first attempt was
made about eight o'clock in the morning, on a baker's boy, in
Camden-street, who, was conveying bread to Portobello barracks.
He was attacked by i mob of about one hundred persons, aid 'the
greater part of the bread taken from him.. Soma of the police
came up at this time, and one man, Pat. APCibe, a cotton -weaver,
was taken into custody. He was Immediately cornmitted to New-
gate to take his trial for the felony.

Between six and seven o'clock, a mob of upwards of, one hun-
dred men, attended by a number of women, assembled in Stephen's-
green, from whence they went into King-street, where they com-
menced the work of pillage. The first shop attacked was that of
Mr. Farrell, front whence they took fifteen hams ; other shops
were afterwards attacked, and from some which were menaced,
bread and money were thrown out. From King-street, this party,
passed into Lower Stephen-street, where similar outrages were
attempted. One. buster, in this street, of the name of Butler,
whose shop was menaced, came out in front of it, armed with a
large knife used for cutting up bacon, and with this weapon he
kept the mob at bay ; the greater part of his windows,
however, were broken. Peace-officer Cox came up at this
time, and, with great resolution, dashed in among the crowd,
following them through Golden-lane, into Bride-street. In the
meantime, information was conveyed to the Heed-office, and to the
police barracks in Kevin-street, and parties issuing from both at
the same time, Mr. Bell at the head of the horse police, dismounted,
coining up Bride-street from Kevin-street, and the different parties
from the Head-office coining down the street front High-street ; the
rioters were completely enclosed. Five of them were taken into
custody, the remainder quickly dispensed.
All the parties that went about yesterday, were attended by a
number of women, to whom the plunder was given.
We understand that parties of five or six in number weregoing
about yesterday to private houses, rapping at. the doors, and de-
manding money. These demands should also be finally resisted.

R10T01.14 Paocixotwas.-13ttweeti nine and ten o'clock on
Tuesday night, a mob of about MO persons, chiefly boys,
went up Church-street. They were followed by a party
rom Arran-quay Police Office, and dispersed in Nary's;
lane, without affecting any mischief. About seven o'clock
on the aante evening, a baker's boy was stopped sad ft
quantity of bread taken from him, between Kilmainham and
Richmond Barracks. The Liberty was comparatively quiet
throughout yesterday. Some bread was seized by the mob, but the
efforts of the depredators were in moat instances frustrated by the
activity of the police.—Dublin Morning Register.

HORRID MURDER-SANGUINARY PRO-
CEEDINGS OF THE DUTCH AT BENCOOLEN.

On the 4th January last, a native of the name of Joe, in a fit
of insanity, wounded with a spear his wife, and another woman,
relative, and likewise attempted to stab several other persons; but
happily they succeeded in escaping feorn the unfitrtunate wretch.
The news soon got wind, when the Magistrates proceeded to the
spot, accompanied by his police peons, all of whom were armed,
although he hisuselfwes defenceless. Mr, Williams, the Magis.
trate, spoke M the maniac, and asked hint for his weapon,
when .he replied, in. English,. "Go away, or I ithall
kill. you." Hei still persisted in his demand, when the
wretch said, do you want it ? repeating the question three times,
and immediately jnmping froni a viranda, about 5 feet high,
stabbed Mr. Williams in the belly Ind ir. the arm, threatening
destruction every where. The dastardly police peons fled in the
moment of danger: Mr. Williams lingered until the following
Morning., when -be died. The Governor, on hearing ,of the.strair,
sent a party to shoot tht assassin. He had, however, 'been pre-
viously shot by some natives' u that place ; when lie fell, he
was secured, and brought to the green fronting the Governor's
house, Where without any trial or inquiry he was immediately
hanged by Ain neck, and shortly afterwards by his heels : in this
state he remained until the evening, when he was cut down and
removed to the usual place of execution, where .he remained for
two days. The native's two sons who were living in the inte-
rior were ordered to be confined in jail. A few days afterwards,
as one of the Dutch servants was-proceeding on duty to c.ellebar,
lie was shot at in the middle of the day, but received no injury. This
phice -is in a state of ferment, and God only knows what will he the
result. Within the last , ten days no. less than four pertains
have been murdered. The Bengal Goiernment authorised the
Company's Agent here to send to Singapore such Calfrees as were
desirous of leaving the place. These people were formerly slaves
