in a civilized country has, we regret to state, been
recently committed in the Barony of Coonagh,,
in this County. 'A pretty young girl, 'scarcely.

a fortune of 2001. having gone on Wednesday seins

night by an armed banditti, who, after firing se'
veral shots, for the purpose of ineituidation, broke
in the windows and door, and dragged out the hap,
less victim of brutal passion, who, from terror,
had fallen into 3 swoon—in a state of insensibi-

lily, and with only the covering of a cloak and
pettiCont, the poor girl. was token some miles
across the country, to a lonely house In, the
neighbourhood of Galbally, where a ruffian, named
Patrick Re wll, a blacksmith, of infamous ehsrae,
tcr, whom she had never spoken to, nor even seen,
but once 'before; by force
.comideted her ruin.

to her friends, and two wretches of, her own sex,
who were principles in the, outrage, have been
committed to the county gaol for trial.

are said to. have been obtained by them. They
generally represented themselves as travellers foe
eminent !rouses in town, and front the plausible
appearance of their bills, they unfortunately sue-
ceeded to the above extent.
The Ticket, No, 12,986, drawn yesterday a
Prize of Fifteen 'Thousand Pounds, was sold in
one Half, two Eighths, and four Sixteenth Shares,
by RICHARDSON, QOODLUCK, and Co.; they have
the greatest happinesi in announcing this to. their
Friends, the Public, it being a repetition
,of the
good fortune attending Purchasers at their Offices,
for on thalast Day of Drawing, Tuesday, the 20th
May, they sold and shared the ,following Capi,
tals

No, 8,109 a Prize 420,000
10,174 a Prize of 1,u1)0
i a Prise of l,OOO
32,700 a Prize of buo
sic. etc. ize.
The fortunate Holders of any, of the above Shares
are requested to apply for immediate payment at
either of the Offices of 111CUAtips0N, Goormuctt,
and Co. 104, liank-buildings, Cornhill-, or facing
the Gate of the King's Mews, Charing-Cross
where all business in the Public Funds is transacted
with fidelity and honour.
In addition to the defective state of the seer.
borough from the dry-rot, it seems the Devon-
shire, also a third-rate, at Woolwich, is, if pos.
sible, in a worse condition, which was discovered
on,being taken into the dock for repairing. The
ship is between tour and Eve years old, and bus
never been further from the Thames then the Norf.
This`circumstance is no criterion to judge of the
cause front whence this mischief originate', for it
is found that the Maidstone frigate„ that was ac-
tively employed on the Ametican toast, daring
the late war, is iu a similar state.
