LIMERICK, JAR. 22.—Between the hours of
and 9 o'clock last night, a mob, consisting of up-
wards of 50 men, went to the house of 11Ir. Csn
who keeps an inn and yard, in Upper Wil-
liam-street, broke open the gate and stole from oti
a car, which was laden with corduroys; &c. from
Cork and Bandon, for sale in this eity,goods to the
amount of upwards of 801. Mr. Benson, a high
constable, directly brought a parry of the mili-
tary front the main guard, but the villains escaped,
after demolishing the windows of Coomey's house,
and cutting More of the same goods which had
been deposited therein. Informations have been
taken of this shameful Outrage by Alderman lVat-
son, and we hope that the perpetrators will not
long elude justice. -
A Gentleman who has travelled through the
disturbed districts, in this county, has this day
informed us, that matty country Gendenten, have
for the present, abandoned their rest fences, and
taken tefuge in the towns adjacent to their
houses ; so apprehensive are they of being at-
tacked by those nocturnal incendiaries, who so
unhappily distuth the repose of this heretofore
tranquil county.—(Connaught Journal.)
A young man named Morgan, of Rillowan, was
lost in the snow on 'Tuesday night, near the Three-
mile Lodge, on the Narrow-water road, Newry,
and, notwithstanding the exertions of several
hundreds of his friends and neighbours, his body
has not yet been found ; the fences on both sides
of the road have been searched without effect.--7
The snow in many parts of the road is as high as
be fences.

ESCAPE OF WADP, FROM NRWOATR.—On Friday
night last, about t ►vo o'clock, Wade, whose
trial for forgery on the Bank of Ireland ex-
cited so much public attention some time back,
effected his escape from Newgate. Wade, it is
said, got out of the prison disguised with a red wig,
his eye-brows painted red, and false whiskers, &c.
Mr. B 3 urns, the keeper of the prison, has beets
confined to his bed since Wednesday last with a
fever, and Mr. Hendon, the Deputy Gaoler, ivas at
the time in another part of the prison, seeing the
different apartments locked up ; he had seen Wade
about half-past ten that night. It is supposed he
went out at the same time that some visitors were
going. Every possible effort has been made to.
secure his arrest. The Deputy Gaoler is on the
alert ; a reward of 1001. has been offered for his
apprehension ; or 501 for such pi ivate informa-
tion as may lead to his discovery.—(Dublin Corre-
spondent, Jan. 24.)
With feelings of deep concern we have to an-
trounce a circumstance that has just reached us of
a most painful nature. A funeral passing from
the shore to a small island in the great Lough
above Killaloe, the friends and relatives of the
deceased thou.,,tht the ice suffiziently, strong to
carry the corpse across, when it unfortunately
broke, and, shocking to relate, the remains of
the deceased were precipitated into the water, and
number of people, who were conveying the
corpse, fell in and perished. The numbers that
suffered are differently stared ; but as a - circum-
stance of this kintl-is generally over-coloured by
the feelings it excites, We shall forbear mention-
ing the number, until we are better infor used as to
tie extent of the calamity.—(.Limerick Advel

The industrious habits of our working classes
are again in full activity from the breaking tip of
the frost. No other circumstance could prove
more exhilarating to a benevolent mind, unless it
were the near approach of the Drawing, which
will positively take place NEXT SATURDAY, when
the Two Prizes of 20,0001. will be decided, and
impart joy and happiness to numerous adven-
turers. The last Prize of 20,0001. Sterling, and
the last Prize of 20,000 Guineas, were Sold in
Shares at No. 19, Cornhill, and 26. Oxford-street,
the fortunate Offices of G. CARROLL.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE,..--A man,
named Dutton, who is a pensioner of t wenty• pence
a day, living in Nottinghamshire, having spent at
once the whole of his quarter's pension, concealed
himself upor► the top of a hay-stack, where he lay
ten days, without any other sustenance than, no..sr
and then, a drink of water and a quid of tobacco.
Dutton had entreated the man who brought him
the water, not to discover him to his friends, t:r
to the overseers, assigning► as a reason for this re-
quest that they would fetch him, and deduct from
his next quarter's pension the expenses of his
maintenance. Upon his being taken home at last.,
he soon recovered.—(Chester Courant.)

Two caverns were discovered, last week, at
Gravesend, by the sinking of the earth. These
excavations are most probably ancient chalk-pits
of Roman origin. Oit the south side of one of
them are the remains of a flint arch, about two
feet wide, leading into the other.

;MIGRATION' TO CANAbA,

(From Ike Waterford Cio'onicle.)

The followi4g important Document has been
transmitted to us from a most respectable source,
and we have the sincerest satisfaction in laying it
before the Public. It contains much new and
valuable information to the inhabitants of these
Countries, and it. is powerfully calculated to pie-
vent a recurrence. of those calamities which it de-
plores in simple but energetic language. The
principles on whcli Emigration to Quebec ought
to be undertakep, and the consequences which
may result front :such a plan to ameliorate the
condition of life,,..are fully and explicitly describ-
ed. There is no. concealment. The good and
the evil are honestly and candidly set forth, and
those who wish to leave't heir native Country are
thoroughly apprised of the evils with which they
may have tp contend, and of the only substantial
grounds on which they may rest ti•eir hopes of
prosperity. A large field of enterprise is opened
up—but the candidates, Eke soidiets to the bat-
tle, must enter upon it ,deft adequate prepara,.
Lion ; the attempt will otherwie prove nt-
telly abortive. Emigrations have hitherto been
frequently made upon hazardous grounds, with-
out that knowledge, and without that prepa-
tation which are indispensable to success; and it
is here, especially, that the great importaptc of the
Quebec Emigrant Society manifests itself in the
most striking light, and that their recommettdatoa
to form Associations in Englaod and Ireland,
comes upon the Public oitli ittesistihle force. The
Members of that Society, emioent both for station
and character, have urformed >to illustrious and
salutary duty tO the British Empire ; and it be-
comes the unavoidable obligation-ot England and
Ireland to follow, without delay, an example of
generous and redeeming utility. The Quebec So-
ciety have solicited pecuniary anti the efforts
which they themselves have made cannot but meet
with the warmest concurrence of every liberal and
patriotic mind; but there is something in their
Appeal of even greater mAgnit tide than pecuniary
aid. Multitudes tvho desire to emigrate have not
that information which is requisite to their future
happiness, and may, therefore, expose themselves
to the privations and afflictions against wLich the
Address so solemnly and so emphatically w airs
them. Let Associations, " composed of ins lli-
gent and" benevolent individuals," be estai fished
in Englanti and lieland, who will correspond with
the Quebec Association, and who will furnish Ad-
venturers with the necessary knowledge—and the
distresses which have already been experienced,
will, in a great measure, if not totally, be avoid-
ed in time to come, Numerous charitable insti-
tutions exist in Ireland, which have exalted her
reputation, almost above that of any other coun-
try in the world. A new source of benevolence
is here disclosed, which announces in its princi-
ples, and promises in its issues, blessings of a pe-
culiar excellence, and which are likely to endure
through many generations—but we forbear ; the
subjoined Document speaks far more strongly
than any thing we nee able to urge, and we rest
satisfied, that its claims will be duly and effectually
appreciated :--

stating the actual Cirr tiffibt fleeS of distress which
' many Emigrants have been placed in, and the
resources of which they ought to be possessed
upon their arikal, to give them a fair chance of
uHrnate success in establishing themselves in this
Country.
