YOUNG NAPOLEON.

Extract of a private letter from Vienna, dated Sept.
27 : 0. I had last night an opportunity of seeing, for
the first time, the son of that man whose turbulent
ambition lost him the greatest empire in the world,
and whose career will be forgotten only when the ex-
traordinary events, associated with it, cease to become
matter of astonishment to succeeding generations.
Young NAPOLEON was at the Theatre, and sat in the
same box with his Royal Grandsire and the Empress,
but in a separate compartment, where he was a:-
tended by a middle-aged individual, who appeared
to be his preceptor. It is not too much to say, that
perhaps no youth ever boasted a finer or more inte-
resting countenance. Most cf the likenesses of him
which I have ,seen in London are vile caricatures,
compared with the original. They represent him as
a florid, chubby boy, with a profusion of flaxen hair
flowing over his shoulders; but he has nothing what-
ever of that appearance. His complexion is fine, but
not florid ; and his hair, cut quite short, is fair, but
not flaxen. It is impossible to behold his face for an
instant, and not be struck with the convincing like-
ness it bears to the more accurate delineations
that are given of his father's countenance. The
nose is precisely similar, as is also the confor-
mation of the mouth, which, when he smiles, gives
'an expression of peculiar sweetness. It has long been
said that he is intended for the Church ; but as yet
he has not appeared in any initiative habiliments.
He was dressed last night just like the son of an Eng-
lish country gentleman, wearing a short blue coat
with gilt buttons, striped waistcoat, and a white necker-
chief tied round his neck. The Imperial party sat
in the stage box, which was plaiely ornamented with
crimson velvet drapery, and young NAPOLEON was
stationed immediately in front of the same line, but
a little detached from the Emperor and Empress.
He appeared to enjoy the performance exceedingly,
and laughed at some particular scenes loud enough
to be distinctly heard by the audience. At the close
of each act, when the drop-curtain fell, he uniformly
rose from his seat and stood behind the Emperor,
who, looking over his shoulder, conversed with him
at occasional intervals, apparently with an air of pa-
ternal affection."

COVENT-GARDEN.—Last night the Opera of Guy
Mannering was performed. There were two novel-
ties in the cast of the characters. Mr. PEA RMAN as
Henry Bertram, and Mr. EVANS, as Dandie Dinnsont,
(vice Mr. EMERY.) The former Gentleman made his
first appearance on these boards upon this occasion,
and his i eception was of the most flattering kind. He
sung the different airs incidental to the Piece .with
happy execution, and introduced some popular songs
from other sources, which were highly applauded.—
Mr. EVANS had a most arduous task; he, however,
contrived to get through the part with tolerable effect.
Miss TREE sang with her usual sweetness, and elicited
much approbation. Fair Star concluded the even-
ing's entertainment. —The House was well attended.
WEST LONDON THEATRE.—Of all the minor places
of public entertainment, none, perhaps, for its size,
is more deserving the patronage of a discerning and
enlightened Public, than this small, but very flea
Theatre. The Performers and Pieces are, without
exception, good ; the singing, dancing, and scenery,
of a superior description. The entertainments of last
night were The Family Picture, or The Sailor's Legacy;
The Wedding Day; a humorous Piece called The
New Marriage Act followed, in which Details was
very happy, and drew forth bursts of applause; and
the whole concluded with the Melodrama of Ana-
conda ; the Terrific Serpent of Ceyloir! The scenery
of this Piece, representing the mountains, &c. of
Ceylon, including a distant view of what we suppose
to be Adam's Peak, one of the highest mountains in
the world, the town and harbour of Colombo, &c.
Are well executed ; and it is due to the Performers in
general to bestow upon them the meed of unqualified
approbation is sustaiahig the respective char:Km:6 of
the Piece.

STATE OF MUNSTen. '..et • ,
FROM THE DUBLIN jOUIMAL OF MOWDAT:
We regret to be obliged to state that the accontat
which arrived from Monster to-day, lead us to expect
a renewal of those lawless acts Which disturbed that
province during last winter. The merite I vengeance
which the law inflicted on the misguided peasantry
in that quarter, it was fain hoped would have deter.,
red them from a repetition of their atrocious system,,
but every day's experience, we are sorry to say, proves
the contrary. The insecurity .of life and property
is dreadful.

The murderers of the Rev. Mr. Creagh's
.servant,
near Cork, have not yet been apprehended. some
soldiers are in custody for the offence. A large re-
ward is offered for the perpetrators, and a sub,crip-
tion entered into for the family of the murdered man

FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE OP SATURDAY.
Saturday night last, between the hours of ten and
twelve o'clock, two excellent farmlihouses and barns,
containing a quantity of wheat, straw, flax, and fur-
niture, were maliciously set on fire and consumed to
ashes, on the lands of %Vest Creaves, in this County.
—The only reason that can be assigned for such an
outrage, was the removal of the late occupiers, who
owed a large arrear of rent, together with Captain
Johnson's direct refusal to give a character to the son
of one of them, who has been some time since trans-
ported under the Insurrection Act. The day follow-
ing Mr. Keily, Chief Constable of Police, repaired to
the lands and viewed the destruction.

A few nights ag►o, a farmer, near Newborough, in
this County, was flogged for not acceding to Captain
Rock's legislation.

A most active County MAgistrate yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Captain Rock, intimating that a
handsome sum will be created for him if he ceases to
pursue the Captain's associates.
Thursday, a decent-looking young man received a
severe flogging from a passenger on one of the mail-
carts: the cause assigned was, that he presumed to
prosecute at the last Assizes the persons .concerned
in the murder of Buckley. Informations of the out-
rage have been taken by the Mayor, and proceedings
will be followed against the perpetrator.
We have received the following from our New-
castle correspondent, dated Oct. 3:

•
" On Tuesday night last, a quantity of hay, which had been
sold by auction for rent, was set on fire and consumed, on the
lands of BailinShane, near Newcastle. An indication of an out-
rage of a similar nature was attempted on Saturday evening :
As a farmer, who had purchased some stock at an auction, was
conveying them home, he was attacked by a few men, who beat
him unmercifully; hut, fortunately, some friends who were re-
turning from the market, arrived to his assistance in sufficient
time to prevent any further harm to the man, and saved the
cattle from being carried off."

We understand that Captain Drought h to succeed
to the command of the County Police, which are to
be united with the City of Limerick establishment.

FROM THE CLONMELADVERTISER OF SATURDAY.

About eleven o'clock on Sunday night, the house
of James Hanly, a poor farmer on the lands of Kil-
leenleigh, about three miles from Thurles, was for-
cibly entered by three men, who beat him in a most
inhuman manner, and inflicted several severe and
dangerous' wounds on his head with stones, at the
same time telling him " if he had complied with the
notice they had given him last spring, they would
not have had occasion to be troubled with coming to
him again." There is no doubt but their intention
was to kill him, as they left him to all appearance
lifeless. We are happy, however, to learn that some
hopes may be entertained of his recovery.
A dwelling-house, the property of Michael IVlor-
rissy, a farmer who lives on the lands of ltossualty,
in the Barony of Kilnemanagh, was maliciously set
on fire-and nearly consumed : Morrissy's child had
a narrow escape of being burned—for, on the fire
being discovered, in their fright the child was for-
gotten in the bed, and had been there some time be-
fore the parents recollected where it had been left,
when they rescued it from the devouring element,
happily without having sustained any injury.
Wednesday night, a short time after Thomas Bren-
nan and his family (who reside on the lands of Cool.
kip, near the Horse and Jockey) had retired to rest
after the fatigues of the day, their house was attacked
by an armed banditti, who demanded entrance—
which demand was refused for some time, when three
gunshots were fired through the door; on which
Brennan, being apprehensive from their threats that
they would burn the house, opened the door ; and on
doing so, be with his son Michael, were dragged on.-
side, ',laced on their knees, and compelled to swear
" they would quit their farm in six days time," and
threatened, if they did not comply, that they should
meet the death of Edmond Shea. Brennan was at-1
tacked in the same way a short time ago: he has
been living on these lands for three years back, and
until lately was not molested. The lands on which
he resides are part of the estate of Miss Stanwick.
A very daring outrage took place near Caher, on
the night of Friday, the 27th ult. at a place palled
Garranaclough, About one o'clock, fifteen armed
men- gained an entrance into the house of the widow
Bryan, for the p:urpose, it is thought, of murdering
her nephew, at whom one of the party made a cut
with a scythe, and shattered his arm dreadfully. His
aunt hastened to his assistance, and was treated in
the same sanguinary manner by the banditti, her
arm having been broken, and otherwise maltreated!
Hearing sonic noise, the party decamped. The same
night they attacked the houses of four respectable
farmers in the same neighbourhood.

A Gentleman who arrived from Rotterdam this
morning, states, that the quantity of corn sent into
that city from the interior was so great as to fill all
the warehouses, with several ships on the river, as
the Dutch thought our ports would have been opened
ere this. Rapeseed and linseed were also in great
abundance.

The neighbourhood of Sweeting's-tents was yester-
day afternoon much alarmed, yy a loud explosion on
the second floor of the Bath chop-house. On inquiry,
it was found to have arisen from a young man having
taken a barrel, in which was some gunpowder, near'
the are. A spark fell into it, which caused the ex-
plosion, by which his arm was much lacerated, and
it is feared amputation will be necessary. The win-
dow; and the furniture of the room ewe consider-
bly damaged.

•
Friday last, a woman named Alleock; residing near the Old
Alders, Tunbridge, having been performing some household
work with a mop, went to the river to wash it. ie the midst
of the operation she felt the mop suddenly seized iii the water,
and to her great astonishment she pulled it out with a thumping
pike at the end of it weighing MIA. The voracious fish had
caught the rags of the mop so tightly in his teeth-beset jaws that•
he could not extricate himself.

Last week, at Lewes fair, a worthy yeoman dis.;
posed of a certain number of sheep, for which he re.;
ceived in notes, of the Ipswich Bank. The said
notes, on being paid into the Bank of Messrs. WIGNEY.
and Co. of Brighton, were presently discovered, the
whole of them, to have been stolen.

A few days ago a robbery was very deliberately
committed in the counting-house of a sugar-broker,
on Tower-hill. A customer called at the counting-
house and paid the sum of £4.0 to the clerk, who de.;
posited it in the desk, and soon afterwards left the
office for a few minutes, having locked the desk, and
hung the key of it behind. the door, in a place which
he supposed to be unknown to any but himself and
the principal. On his return. however, he found that
a visitor had been in the offize who knew the secret.
The desk was lying open, the money was gaue, and
in the place of the £4O was left a piece of paper, on
which were these words--,4 Don't leave the key be-
hind the door again, you careless fools !"—lt is sup-
posed that the thief had acquaintance with some in-
dividual about the concern, and that he wrote tl •
abovementioned caution in order to prove that he
stole 66 in jest," in the event of detection. A shabby
genteel man had been seen lurking about the premises.
At Streatham, on Saturday night, between ten and
twelve o'clock, the house of Mr. Cox, a foreign mer-
chant of great respectability, was broken open, and
entered by a..gang of thieves", and robbed of plate
and jewellery to the amount of 6001. The family
have been some time at Tunbridge Wells, and Mr:
Cox had left his house in the care of his gardener, a
very confidential servant. Previously to their de..
parture the plate and jewels had been removed to a
room on the second story, where the usual precaution
of locking up was observed. The gardener, after
having fastened the doors of the house, retired to bed,
before ten on the Saturday night, in the room above
that in which all the valuable property was kept. He
heard no noise, but on going down stairs in the morn•
ing, was astonished at finding the window of the back
parlour open. Upon examining the shutters he found
that a large hole had been bored with .an instrument
Bailed a 66 centre-bit," under that part of the shutter
at which the fastenings inside are made, and that the
thieves having bored the hole, were enabled to make
in easy entrance. He then ran up stairs to the room

posited,
and found that the door bad liven broken
open, and that all was gone. Same ill
