GREAT SAVINGS.

MR. EDITOR—What Savings ! Why Sir, we
have saved in 'Soldiers until there are scarcely
troops enough in Ireland to put down the Soss
OF LIBERTY in one County

Young Sheepfiice, and his friend Old Mau,
in the North, says this is as it should be : and. it
is supposed they will ask the Cross Knight, or
the Knight of many crosses, to step over and
drill the boys into a sort of Lousitanyard squad
" Delightful task ! to teach the young Hibernian
how to shoot t"

But Bob does not like this, lest Lord NOIIBURY
should have the laugh against him ; and he is very
right, for it may be easier for him to raise a
corps of pit-men in the neighbourhood of his
friends, just to let them see how things are :
leaving them to exclaim with I.troil RD, " Ave :
this looks rebellion !"

CORONERS' INQUEST ON THE FAMILY OF SHEA.

DUBLIN, Nov. 26.—1 t is with increased dis- I
gust and horror that we revert to the shocking
murder committed 'on Monday night last, at
Tubber, a Subdenomination of Cloneen.
Mr. THOMPSON, one of the Coroners, went off
to the spot the moment he received intelligence
of the horrid occurrence. On Wednesday he
proceeded to inquire into the only fact which
could then be brought into question, there not
being a single soul left living out of the unfortu-
nate family, inmates, all of whom have been de-
voted as victims to the most savage atrocity that
has disgraced this country within our memory—
namely, whether the burning was malicious or
not, and, consequently, whether murders had been
committed on the bodies of Edmond Shea, Mary
Shea, Edmond Shea the younger, Mary Shea the
younger, Nicholas Shea the younger, William
Shea, Margaret Shea, Michael Butler, Patrick
Mullally, Michael Mullally, Catherine Mullally,
Margaret Shea, Margaret Power, and three men,
whose names are unknown, by the burning.
Nicholas Shea, of Seven Acres, swore, that he
was brother to the deceased, Edmond Shea ; that
he knew the bodies of Edmond and Mary Shea,
of Edmond Shea the younger, Mary the younger,
Nicholas the younger, 'William and Margaret
Shea. (These last five were infant children, from
the age of ten years down to two; and what
adds, if indeed any thing can add, to the black
and insatiable bloodthirstiness of the incendiaries,
is, that Mary Shea, the wife of Edmond, was
within a few days of bringing alive into the world
an infant, and which literally fell from her body
while she was burning !) Nicholas Shea further
swore, that he was called out of bed about mid-
night, between the 19th and 20th, by John But-
ler, w ho told him that his brother's house was on
fire—that he went to the place, and found the
house on fire, the root bavina fallen in—and saw
the bodies of 16 persons, who had been burnt to
death, taken out of the ruins, about nine o'clock
on the morning of the 20th.
William Williams, of Gurt Patrick, .swore,
that on the night of the 19th, having got out of
bed, to look after a pig, he saw Edmond Shea's
house in flames ; that he went toward the house,
but was afraid to approach near, in consequence
of hearing several shots fired about the house ;
a man, of the name of Philip Dillon, who was
with him, fired a shot towards Shea's house (the
place was so enveloped in smoke that they could
not distinguish the persons outside) ; the shot
was returned by two from the party surrounding
the house, who shouted loud, and desired Dillon
to come on if he dared, on which Williams and
Dillon retired.
This testimony was confirmed by Philip Dil-
lon himself; and tU Jury accordingly found,
that the persons before mentioned, were wilfully
and maliciously burned to death, by some persons
unknown, by setting fire to the dwelling-house of
Edmond Shea, on the night of the 19th of No-
vember instant.

We understand that the following occurrences
recently took place at Old Parish, in the county
of Waterford. A few days ago, a respectable
Gentleman distrained a tenant for rent, and
placed a keeper to see that the tenant should
give in the produce of the corn. Soon after-
wards, a party entered the house, beat the
keeper severely, and carried off the grain. The
Gentleman before mentioned, with his nephew,
and five armed men, went and seized one of the
persons accused. As they were conducting him
to prison, they were assaulted with stones by a
numerous party, who rescued the prisoner. The
G entleman received a blow of a stone, his ne-
phew received thOe blows, and one of their at-
tendants was severely wounded in the head.-

COUNTY KERRY.
(From Mote's Western Herald.)
On Tuesday night, though nine Magistrates
and Major Wilcock had met at Elton that day,
to consider the best means of tranquillizing that
part of the county, the insurgents had the auda-
city to assemble in a large body and attack the
house of Mark Lynch, of Bally fruta, for his
arms, which for a long time he refused. Though
repeated shots were fired into the house, he did
not surrender until the house was actually on fire
in two places.
On Thursday night last a party of Major Wit-
cock's Police apprehended, near Glanduff, in
this county, James Jourdan, charged with taking
arms in the middle of the day, on the 11th inst.,
from Mr. George Sparling ; there were about
two pounds of gunpowder found concealed in
the house, being more than the apparent value
of all the rest of his property.
