OUTRAGE AT IRISHTOWN CHURCH.

- -
Sunday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a
party of the College-streetpoliq apprehended, at Irish-
town Church, four men, armed with swordsand pistols,
who, on being interrogated as to their business there?
'answered, that' they had been employed by a man of
the name of Mooney, a dairyman, in Ringsend, to
watch the grave of his son, who had been buried these
toe days before.
On the night of his interment several men, armed i
the same manner, had gone to the Semmes', demand-
the key of the Church-yard, which she refused,
without an order from the Clergyman. On bet perse-,
acting in her refusal; they told her " they would 'make
way for themselves," find accordingly went to the
Church-yard, deliberately made a breath in the wall,
and continued so assemble there, 'four it a time, from
night to night, alternately (as themselves stated) se-
hewing guard, until the party cin'didy on Sunday night
was taken. Their constant practice during the nine
previous nights was, to issue out occasionally, in a
riotous manner, and parade the village, running their
words into the doors and windows of several of the
bevies, and getting whiskey from such of the inmates
as were able to redeem themselves from their annoyance.
One of the swords, taken on the person of one of them,
Vile found to be a police sword. suspected to have been
taken in the affray in ',which Ellis, a Policeman, was
tilled. As the inhabitants annoyed, were afraid, from
the unprotected state of the neighbourhood, to come
orward to give evidence, they were not. of course,
sdentifed as the persons that had actually done the via
lance on the former nights—but as Mooney first denied
having employed them for the purposamentioned,:incl
their own accounts contradicted themselies, the Slime
were detained and they dismissed, having voluntarily
given security to the Clergyman for the repair of the
damage done—the Magistrate, however, observing to
them, that he was quite sure the alleged was not the
real object of 'their meeting. We have inquired and
have beard of no house having been annoyed but chow
of the Protestants, and the Clergyman observed amongst
them some of those who are in the constant habitat in-
terrupting and insulting the funeral service is lrishtown

athYOR'S advice as to the sloescouttlis mola adept ender the Me
lowing affecting decimalise's:—
I Her husband left EOlllllll4 several mouths ago to go on a
whale &herr in the South Seas. Thai crew tanchetl at Pert
Jackson, and were to have mho* int lisle* there sear Spy
had concluded their• labours in die fishery. Thaw resalleni is
the South Seas, in the neighborhood of the aleadly 1ik11414
for some thee ; and on the lid of April they mat ashore, apes
the Island of Wawa*, setae of the craw foe water. In 'the eight,
a cable boy, who, shandy enough, preferred spendlig his life
amongst wows to return* to Noshed, swam ashore, want
up, and was received amongst the natives. It is 'opposed that
be was prevailed upon by the representations of four black men,
who bad been hired to work in the vessel, but who trace et-
lnanely lazy end discontented. Those men dhappeaned about the
sane time, and also threw themselves under the protection of
the inhabitaata of the island. Net morning the Captain took
six armed men with him, and rowed to the island to demand the
restoration of the bay, but without any intention of troubling
himself about the Blacks, whom, in fact, he considered as useless,
and was not unwilling to lose. The boy he determined to
obtain at ail hoards, in consequence of the obligation be
considered himself under ca- bring him back, whatever might
be his conduct. Upon going ashore he found that the na-
tives came down rather .in hostile array to meet him. He
chewed no •disiosition to 'provoke them, but civilly requested
that they wouldlive up to Mtn the boy, who had lied to them with-
out cause. They peremptorily refused to deliver op the boy updn
any conditions. The Captain then offered them in exchange for
him muskets,. a barrel of gunpowder, and flints, of all which he coo-
t:hided they :toed in need. The rejected the offer, but were de-
termined-to take possession of the tempting articles, and ran towards
'the boat to secure that abo. The unfortunate Captain had no al-
ternadve but that of viohince. He swore be would fire at the first
man who attempted to interfere with his property, although he
knew that all efforts at resistance would be useless against such a
multitude as was by this time collected upon the beach against bins;
The savages, with a yell, ran down upon him and his men with
spesn and fire-arms. A desperate conflict took place, in which the
Captain and four 'of his adherents fell dead, after having dealt
slaughter amongst the islanders. The other two sailors with diffi-
culty escailid with their lives, and the Mate took the direction of
the vessel homeward.
Mr. Heisler, the Chief Clerk, told Mrs. Powell, who said she
bad three children in a totally destitute condition, that her case
woulti be sure to meet with consideration at the Merchant Sea-
men's Society. The Mate, then, by Mr. Hobler's advice, made
alidevit of the Captain's death ; and Mrs. Powell tusk that, with
other documents, to the Merchant Seamen's Society, in the hope of
obtaining assistance in her distress.
The poor .young woman's expectations, if she entertained any, of
avenging the murder of her husband, received but little encourage-
ment from Mr. Hobler, who feared that the inhabitants of Wawoo
were likely to condone in their condition of primitive barbarism,
notwithstanding the frequency of British intercourse.

pthissier wee* to the shop on Satorday, and stated that lie came
iledna Mr. Stratton, in Gutter-lane, and wanted an urn ; and while
*spotter was packing one up, be observed the prisoner take the
middle in_quesdou from the window, and secrete them about his
Venom. He pleaded distress, and was fully committed.
'Yesterday, a Manchester-warehouseman in the City appeared to
mower the following complaint :—hair: W. H. Foster stated, that
en the 2Sth of July last be accepted a bill for the defendant, at
theee months, for OK lea. 6d. on the 234 of October, a few days
before it became due, the defendant requested he would renew it,
and accept another bill for the like sum, saying he would take it to.
the person in whose hands the former bill then lay, and get hint to
take the other in exchange. Complainant, on these conditions, ac-
cepted another bill; but the defendant, instead of taking up the
hewer bill, discounted the second bill and applied the proceeds to
his own use, contrary to the provisions of the .524 of George I I I.
which enacts, that any person who shall receive a bill for a specific
purpose, and shall afterwards convert the proceeds thereof to his
own use, shall be punishable with fourteen years' transportation.
Mr. ALLaY, for the defendant, stated, that previous to the first
bill becoming doe, the defendant son the complainant a quantity
of goods, which he sold, and with the proceeds took up the first
bill, and that there afterwards tumbled in his hands a balance of
nearly SOL
The LORD MAYO% said, under all the circumstances of the case,
it appearing to hint a matter of accouht Getween the parties, he
should decline interfering In the bottom ; but the complainant
might indict the defendant at the Sessions, which Mr. loiter said
Ite *mad certainly do.
BOW-STREET.
A young man, of very respectable appearance, stated, that being
i-t the boles of the theatre on Mondiy night. he thought proper to
express his disapprobation of Mr. Kean, by hissing and vociferat-
ing No Kean;' all those about him were similarly engaged;
but there were not any symptoms of personality er quarrelling.—
o 4 Ant, , however, thought proper to single him out from the
mass, collaring him in the most violent manner, thrust hits
owtbe theatre. He understood the officer was one of this era-
. -. , and he wished to know Ms name, for the purpose of
Fs/erring the charge above stated.
Mr. Hau.s—One of our party? Were any of our officers inside
the theatre? If ao, they had no business these. It was very well
t they should have been in attendance, hi the event of absolute:.
oecailon for their services. The instructions given them were not
to luterfere. unless there was an actual necessity.
N, Complainant—l thought it unfair, that whilst the majority of
Wise around me were permitted to shout " Kean for ever," I
abookt-be-fnecibly-prevented from expressirg a different uptae ea
to the conduct of a pidgic actor.
Mir. atata—lf there was no riot, I think you certainly had a
right is hiss. If yea will ascertain the name of the person of
whore 4:deduct you complain, I will certainly investigate the charge.
'Whether he is an officer of this establishment or of any other—or a
parish constable—or a private person—your complaint, as a matter
of course. will be heard.

it I obtain redress of Mr. Elliston ? I had
paid fit; nay admission. and was thrust out illegally. Surely I am
entitled to the return of the adtniaslon money.
Mr. Haus—For redress against Mr. Elliston, I presume, a
Coon of Requests would be the most proper place for you to go to.
Complainant left the office. observing that he had been treated in
a moat ruffianly and unmanly manner.

Mo*day evening a Gentleman came to this Mice, and said that
he was one of the many whom curiosity led to the Theatre to wit-
hese the recipdon of Mr. Bean, and that having with infinite but-
letting and bruising contrived to reach the pay-box, he banded his
aspen shillings so the money-taker; but before he could get his
Check to pasta, ha was driven by the rush of three or four per-
sons, which he. had not the power to withstand, back from the pay-
bia. As soon as he could again reach the money-taker he demanded
fits chock, but which was refised him with much insolence. He
persisted in his demand, and refused to Wave the spot without the
check but the money-taker, instead of giving it, assaulted
and violently pushed him from the box. Under these circumstances
be crusted that the Magistrate would send an officer to the 'Theatre
to mkt charge et thermos who had assaulted him, and !Ong him
to the glide.
lidr. Batts said he could not do as the complain* ot desired. If
an Ulcer bad been present, and had seen a breach of the peace
committed, it would perhaps have WM his duty to interfere; but
than not befog the caae, an slicer coda ass go and drag the money-
dm from his bee without a warrant, and before that could be
issued, the name of the person charged nest be aillained‘ If the
apptttant would procure the name, and swear that be had been
assaulted, a Viberaat would be granted.

** fee WM* the person was only laughed at, and be hoped

Mri Hass said he could not de any seek thing, and the appli-
cant departed mush dimatisied.
