TvAm, Aran, 13 —This day. five of the nrifor.
tuner e nineteen men found guilty at our Assizes,
fur the attack on Major Place and the party of
the 77th Regiment, at Irglonny, within one Mile
of this town, were marched in bete fur the pia-
pose of receiving a part of their sentence—oarne-
ly, public whipping ; brit an expectation of their
pardon being entertained, their punishment was
put off until the arrival of the Dublin Mail. At
the moment we are writing this, the roach Hr-
rived, hut brought no respite for these miserable
me 3. in consequence: of which the necessity
preparatioi,s for flogging were instantly put its
readiness, and they were whipped, one by One,
alter a ear, ihrongh the principal streets. We
never remeniber to witness so great an assemblage
of nt,:copl.o..—the punishment being so very novel
amongst us, and we trust it will long remain
so ; nothing is to be heard in our streets but the
cries of the wives and children of these deluded
sufferers.' A strong guard of the horse and toot
quartered here, anti a patty of the Police, at-
! tended.

On Saturday last, the unfortunate man, named
Anthouy Daly, who was found guilty at our As-
sizes for breaking into dwelling-bo,oses and ad-
ministernia unlawful oaths, Zvi s executed at tha
Ilill of seafin, in the neighbourhood of Crogh-
well, in the upper part of this county. Tlqougb-
out the whole of this awful cereinonv be evince 4
grem liminess, and seemed to, meet his late with
composure and resignation ; iic wal a stout, well-
looking m3ll, anti by trade a carpenter.
Ou Monday last, Charles Langley, found guilty
at our Assizes for tl.e same offence Hs Daly, was
executed at Costlehlakeney. Ibis man also evinc-
ed mach firmness.

lestertlay, the other wretched man, named
Michael Ninlay. found guilty of brer:king into the
dweiling-horse of IValshe, adittil:is-
tering unlawful oaths, was executed at Grancreen,
near Aliascragh. He met his fate with the sante
resolution as the two men above-twill lolled, and
Said nothing to the numerous spectators (the
greater number of whom were Lis acquaintances
and friend;) ; his last moments were devoted to
prayer and ,iipplicatton, and his dying request

DIS'iIiICTS.

IVAMHI,I6II3, FRIDAY, ArRIL I 4.—We have
ibeen hilts-tned that Government have for some
-clays been its possession of information that a.
great acid simultaneous movement was to take
:place on Wednesday last, through all the com-
mercial districts ot the north. In consequence ot
this, and of the particular information which lie
haul pet sottally received, Gruel al Sir John Byng
determined to strike a decisive blow, and by sur-
rounuieg a great body who were expected to as-
semble oil GI-altar-moor, situated nearly midway
het wren Wakefield and Huddersfield, to get as
many as possible ot them into his possession.
With this view he niade hi, arrangements to draw
several corps around this place in diffeient direc-
tions; and, to be near the scene of action, came
hiniaell to %Vaketield on Tuesday evening. But
this plan was trustrated by a premature movement
(it the troops stationeil in Huddersfield. The
printipil inhabitants of Barnsley having also le-
ceived information of the intended tisiug, as-
srmbled on Tuesday evening at the King's ;lead
Inn, in that town; from which house, throne!) the
whole night, patties continnally went out to Nolo!
tie town end ita immediate oeighlworhood. A lit-
tle before teidoight they I-ceche-rut information that
number of per were assetchled at Bank-top. a
great part of them aimed whit pikes, and some
with guns, and having with them `..! drums. Allow
I o'clock these men began to move in different
parties, taking varions routes, but all avoiding the
town, with the except ion of six, who passed
through together, each armed svhh a pike, awl
re-assembled on the road leading front Barnsley
to Huddersfield, to the mimber of about 400 ME;).
-They then commenced their march in :military
order to,aards the appointed place Of rendezvous.
At a :41»111 distance trom the town they stepped
at the house of a Mr. Pickard, and demanded his
arms ; on his re- fusing to surrender his fowling-
:jeer, they attacked his door with great violence;
but fineliog it stronger than they expected, and
hearing irom within Mr. P's determined threat to
shoot the,list man that entered, they desisted, anti
after breaking his windows continued their march.
At the house of Mr. G. Hurst, it) Bank-lane, they
obtained a gun. At Darton they stopped at the
house of Mr. J. Richardson, the Rose and Crown
Inn, and demanded his arms. These beiag re-
fused, they assailed the door with great violence,
and broke a panel. Intimidated by this, Mr.
Richardson gave them three guns, through the
broken panel, when they immediately proceeded
forward, leaving a pike and an axe behind diem.
They attired at Flockton, about a mile from
Grange-moor, soon after break of day, at which
village a parry of them attacked a public•houae,
. demanding the landlord's artist ; but these being
refused, they marched ca. 'From this village
they were watched by a Gentleman and his
servants, till they arrived at the destined rendez-
vous, where they formed under the wood belutig-
ing to Whitley-hall. After some time, the cavalry
from Huddersfield appearing, they dispersed in
different directions, separating into small groups,
and maklug their way back towards their homes
by ditierent routes. Of those who returned by
way of Flockton, three were taken and sent to
Iluduletstield ; two of them youths, and one an
elderly man. NVe understand that these mem
have stated, that their party expected, on their
arrival at the Moor, to have met with fifty or
sixty thousand companions in arms, and, seeing
lthbody, they were completely disheartened, and
exclaimed, they were betrayed, and threw away
their plies, malty having - first broken them
- across their knees. Much praise is due to
the spit ited conduct of Mr. Beckett, who
strongly urged the Yeomanry Cavalry to pur-
sue the men, who, they understood, had taken
the route towards Grange ; but the com-
manding officer was not willing to move without
the sanction of a Magistrate. There being no Magi-
strate near, this sanction could not be immediately
obtained. Mr. Beckett offered to take all respon-
&Wilt( y upon himself, but could not still prevail.
He thee, and two of the Yeomanry corps, mount-
Ed their horses, and followed the Radical group to
the end of their march, nor quitted sight of them
till tie saw them finally disperse.--In consequence
. of these various alarms, the tow!' of Wakefield,
on Wednesday morning, exhibited some appear-
ance of a ahlOary garrison. Three troops of the
4th regimeot of Dragoon Guards, under the cott-
n:apt! of Go!. Sherlock, came in early from York.
Soon afterwards the Horse Artillery trom Pante-
tract, and the Wakefield troop of Yeomanry, also
assembled, in readiness for service. During
bustle a patrol of Cavalry arrived with informa-
tion to Sir J. Byng of the dispersion of the Wadi-
cd3, and brought in one of the pikes unbroken,
which appears to be a formidable, though rude,
weapon. It is about seven feet long, with a
blade of twelve inches in length and two in
breadth, sharp at the point, and with two edges.
The Lord Lieutenant arrived at Pontefract the
same morning, with important communications
front the Secretary of State, to lay before the
,Magistrates. He afterwards came to Wakefield
to communicate with General Sir J. Byng, with
whom he stayed about two boors, and then pro-
carded to Leeds. We are happy to conclude by
staring; theotgreeuble tact, that the town of Wake-
field and its immediate neighbourhood have pre-
served, during this bustle, the no,st complete
ttatopillity. General Sir John Byng left Wake-
field at thtee o'clock yesterday afternoon, for his
own house at Catnpsall, and two of the three
.troops of Dragoon Guards which came hither
froot York retort] to-day to their old quarters.
The Wakefield troop of Yeomanry are discharged
front active duty.—(Wakefield and Halifax Jour-

Pails Toll, APRIL 15.—We are informed, by a
,Cotrecpondent on whom we can place great re-
lianee, that a nocturnal mveting or muster of
the Radical& living in the townships of Weelton,
and Houghton, about seven or eight
miles front this town, took place in the night be-
t'sr,co Wednesday last, but nothing
ciu he learnt of the nature or ohil,ct of the assetn-
-4ia.V.---.l,t,was to hare been hoind that the frustra-
-tirpipt designs,of the persons who assembled
io.t he couptry round ...Huddersfield, would have lcd
them tutahy to aOninion their tivild and wicked
projects; but we learn with regret, that a vast ,

body of Giese inlatnated men is'e'ro .s.u-rptisea ir,
the same neighbourhood, this vstoek, by a military
force, in the act of exercising with pikes, and
that 150 of these deadly instruments have, been
seized.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 15.—Manchester and
Salford have hitherto enjoyed the most profound
tranquillity, as tvell as the neighbourhood at
large. We have, however, information which
may be relied upon, that for several nights past
meetings have been held on the [noises from 3 to
6 miles distant, for the purpose ~t waiting for
informatirth of the proceedings and re.hlts of those
stiacks which have been meditated upon Hud-
dersfield, and upon other towns ‘rhose peace has
not yet been disturbed ; awl that in case their
Anxious wishes tor a successful t-ising had been
the midnight congregators were to be
the ins'runients of spreading insurrectionary
movements amongst the inbahitants of our own
populous towns. Conisnued and tinceasiog
rigi-
lance htte is therefore all incumbent doty.—
(Maw/tester Chronicle.)

LEUDS, Ar:tlt. 15.—Several hundreds of unem-
I
doved workmen assembled D'art.-rot m -ro, in front ,
of the Court-house in this town, on Thursday
morning, about ten o'clock, and after they had
been together some. time, Christopher Beckett,
Esq. the Mayor of this Borough, went in amongst
them, and inquired what was their object in as-
?embling ? To this inquiry he men replied, that
they had been long OW of work, some of them
four, five, Or six mouths, and others still longer
that themselves and their families rsete starving ;
and that they had assembled, parity hreauSe they
had nothing else to do, awl partly to sliew the
numbers of the distres7,ed, but without any inten-
tion to comtnit any riot or excess. The cause of their
distress !tome imputed to the excessive int oduetiou
of manttl.tetnt lug machiuerv, and others to the em-
barrassments of trade iron) the Cot II Bill and the
Wool Bill, and others to excessive taxat,,n. The
Mayor, with great mildness, apprised them of the
danger of assembling together in large bodies,
and hoped they would not again repeat these
meetings, particularly in the present agitated sta,e
of the country. As to machinery, he said, with
all the advantages it gave us, we still could not go
into foreign markets en an equal footing with
other countries, and that our manufactures were
much higher than those of neighbouring countries
which were our rivals in trade, lie was nor with-
out expectations that trade might revive, and till
that time he hoped they would conduct themselves
peaceahly, and as became good subjects. These
representations were heard with becoming atten-
tion and respect, and the Mayor having withdtaWn
to join his brother Magistrates in tine Court
House, the assembly soon after dispersed, and re-
tired peaceably to their homes.

LANCASTER, Ari,L 15.7—An e:ort...ss reached
Pontefract ou Wedneiday mottling, froto
directing the immediate return of the Police
Officers of the latter towu (who were attending'
the West Riding Sessions), as a Seri is riot had
broken out there, At the smite time an express
arrived at Pontefract, ordt•ring the detachment of
Artillery lying theme to in ueeed innueattely to
Huddersfield.

D^strnns, Arno, It —At the recent I;inding9 of
the pitR3Cll in this neighbourhood, some of them
have been wise .-.nough to deliver-4p arms
which they had provided under the delusion of
Radicalism. Its consequence of information thus
obtained, on Tuesday se'smight, Timms Forrester,
a blacksmith, of tivigate, Nexcastle, and his
wife, were taken into custody wirittr n warrant
from the Chief iVial:istrate, the linsband.charged
with fabricating. pike heads, and the wife with
hawking them about the collieries for sale. They
remain in confinement for further exarnination.—
Liere is a proof that arms have been is
possession
of the Radicals in this part of the cuuntry; and
the illegal manufacture and sale of pike heads
will probably be brought how, t tile parties in
custody.

CABLISLR, APRIL 15.—0 n Saturday night, or
Sunday morning, a ntor.l:er of inflarnmatory pla-
cards, invitihg the people to imittoe the conduct
_of .the ttisatrected at C4Ltig.aw Btc. .were posted
Up, and scattered aboot, the streets of lids ell and
its vicinity: It purported to be " rusted at the
Con,oi6ttionsl Press, Glasgow ;" Rnd as it is re-
porteti that several dele.gate3 have passed through
front the North, into Yorkshire and Lli)-
,cashire, it is highly probable that these agents of
discontent had taken that method to disseminate
their doctrines.-'_!t would seem that the practice of
secret drilling is not abolished in this neighbour-
hood. We are credibly informed, that on Sunday
evening last bodies of men were observed training in
the plantations at Coal-fell-bill, near Newiown.
The lute agitations among the Radicals of Scot-
land were not looked upon with indifference by
the fraternity in the neighbourhood of Carlisle.
In the course of Saturday night (the Bth inst.) a
considerable number of seditious placards Was
stuck upon the walls of this city.
GLASGOW, APRIL 4.--Arrests of the disaffect-.
ed are daily taking place in this city and neigh-
bourhood; and a number of persons, we -are
in-
formed, have disappeared, %rho were not pre- •
viously suspected of having been, in any measure,
involved in revolutionary attempts.—Ttre Lord
Advocate brought several Gentlemen of the Law
with hhn from Edinburgh, who are now engaged
in examinations of the prisoners lately apprehend-
ed.—Last night, a troop of Hussars, Lord Elcho's
Edinburgh troop, and twenty of the Gllsgow
troop, with thirty Rifletneu in spring aggons,
and a piece of flying artillery, set off ar eleven
o'clock, and took the Kilmarnock road. We have
not heard of any disturbances in the West Conn-

try, and should therefore suppose, that a search
for prisoners and arms in some of the disaffected
manufacturing villages in Ayrshire is the object
of this strong party.
EDINBURGH, APRIL 14.—We understand
among the persons apprehended for treasonable
practicea iu Glin,goev and the neighbourhood are
several persons abuse the common ranks of lire ;
and sonic w:,o, how their employments, might
have been expected to have acted differently ; a
Cletk in a Public Office, and a Serjeant in a re_
respectable Corps, ate said to be of the number,
and souse who, by industry, have them-

EdVei to a respectable situation in life.--(Gclin•
'burgh Paper.)

(From the Edinburgh Courant of .Ipril 15.)
On Monday morning seven radicals were seized
at Balfron by a party of the Stirlingshire Yeo-
manry, and lodged in the Castle.—Early on
Wednesday morning, a party of the Yeomanry
Cavalry surrounded the town of Mauchline,
when a strict search was made for arms and
papers. About thirty Radicals were taken
and are now under examination. She-
riff 'Bell and a party of the Veteran Battalion
left Ayr next morning for that place. Soule pikes
were found on Thursday morning concealed in a
Field near Ayr.---Slime day, eight of the 7th and
right of the 10th hussars set oil to Holytown,
whet e they seized 3 leading Radicals, and brought
them iolo Glasgow jail. On Wednesday last Mr.
llurdocii, with a party of eight men, left Airdrie
to escit a quantity of ammunition for the Airdrie
Volunteers. On their return they were attacked
anti abused by a crowd assembled at the
gate, who followed them along the road,
hissing, hooting, crying '' seize the powder,"
and assailing thew with a shower of stones.—
Two wen were placed in front as a gnarl,
and the rest closed behind. There might then •
be about 700 or 800 men, and their insolence
increasing, they were chwrged by the party.—
They were instanly rejoined by the crowd,
who continued to pelt them with stones. When
they came to Westmuir and Shettlestou, the mob
.becarne quite iatiiriat,d, crying " Kill Murdoeii.-
lit this manner they were h:Andied till pat ILtillie-
ston toll, when the iippearanee of a party of Vo-
Inoiteets sent to meet the escort completely turned
the putsuit. The patty Were all•ininrtd by .tones,
and sonic of the horses cut. 07iiy one shot was
flied, and that over the head of the mob ; but
some of them will doubtkss fed bruises given
them with the broad side of the iword.--I.Ve hear
that C,:,f Kin L'Amy's Rifle company, 120 strong,
maile a tender last weep to march to Glasgow to
assist in potting down the insurrection theft", or
to any other part of the kingdom where their ser-
vices might be reipired.
