COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE, JAN. 16.
Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock; an
armed party of men, consisting of about sixteen,
went to the house of Patrick Mulqueen, of Klima-
reen, situate about half a mile from the Barrack at
Kildimo ; upon being challenged by Mulqueen, they
said they were Mr. Fitzgerald and the Police who
came to search for arms. Mulqueen opening the
door, the ruffians rushed in and made a close search
for arms, but finding none they went off; each was
armed with a musket and fixed bayonet, arid some
had pistols beside. Though Captiin MIDDLETON and
his party of the 42d Regiment, stationed a: Kildimo,
have been continually on the alert, yet the ruffians
watched their opportunity for the above outrage.
Tuesday, a man of John Morgan's, Esq. of 0:41
Abbey, went to serve a process on Patrick Histon,
near Shanagolden, as soon as he had done so, he
was rushed upon by Histon with a pitchfork, and
compellea to go upon his knees and eat the original
process, being threatened with instant death in case
of refusal. Histon was apprehended and lodged in
the Bridewell of Shanagolden, a few hours after the
occurrence.

FROM THR CARLOW MORNING POST, JAN. 17.
Though no actual disturbance Jias arisen in any
of the neighbouring Counties, the same visionary
principle seems to be pretty general; the following
is an extract of a letter which we have just received
from a Correspondent in the County of Kilkenny
I saw a notice posted up at Coollogh Chapel, in the Parish
of Callan, on Sunday last, calling on the Landlords to' consider
what they were about before they urged their distressed te..
nantry to further misery ; it compares the present prices of
pork, butter, barley, oats, &c. with the prices obtained by this
farmers when they were paying hut the same rent they are
obliged to pay now; it mentioned they would be satisfied In
give six pounds for dairy ground, and eight pounds for maimed
ground ; and to allow one shilling and sixpence tithe on all lands
tilled or untitled, and they would allow but half the present dues
to Parish Priests. It was signed by Sir Simon Straight, Com..
mender-in-Chief of the County. '

FROME, SATURDAY.—This town was again thrown
into a state of confusion yesterday, by the assemblage
of a very considerable body of weavers from the
neighbourhood, who proceeded to the houses of two
or three of the town weavers that took work at the
reduced prices; and although several of the respect
able inhabitants interfered, they succeeded in taking
the pieces off the looms. The Messrs. SHEPPARD
and other respectable clothiers were on the spot, and
to prevent further confusion, with their usual libe-
rality agreed to give the full price for what work was
then in the hands of the weavers, leaving it open to
future arrangement.—Bath Journal.

Friday last, a party of Mansfield Gentlemen coursing on Sher-
wood Forest, near the Race-ground, started a hare, which preied
a " teaser," leaving her eager pursuers no other alternative than
"to play all they knew," and " prove their mettle." Sprigtuy
puss led the way o'er hill and dale in gallant style, and confident
of her fleetness, bid defiance to the speed of winds. However,
on coming near to the silent tomb of the immortal piens Thomp.
son (whose remains are interred on the open forest), she dashed
furiously among the lirg, and making a double, Mr, Mellor's
dog, Dart, came in contact with the poor animal when, fee a
short time, all sight was lost both of dog and bare ; but at leased
brave Dart was discovered lying prostrate on his back, and
matchless puss, extended almost breathless beneath his loins, was
taken up alive by a person present. This remarkable circum-
stance stands unprecedented ha the annals of sporting history.
