FROM THE LIMERICK CIIRONICf.E OF WEDNESDAY. •
Titesday the house of Thomas Heffernan, Esq. of
Dunbarry, near Buttevant, was attacked by seven fel-
lows armed with guns and pistols, at the hour of half-
past four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Heffernan was
absent at a fair. One fellow entered the parlour
%here Mrs. fleffernan was, with a double-barrelled
pistol and threatened to shoot her, if she did not tell
him where the arms were in the house; he then called
out and six fellows rushed into the house and coin-
-1 menced searching for arms; they went up stairs and
broke open several drawers and cupboards; they
found an old bayonet on a pole concealed under a
bed, with which they pierced several of the 'beds
searching for arms. They took a piayerbook out of
the house, and went to the yard where some la.
bourers were at work, and swore them whether they.
knew if Mr. Heffernan had arms or not, either inside
or outside his.house, and also tendered an oath to a
son of Mr. Heffernan's, about six or seven years old; i
they then returned and tendered the same oath to
Mrs. H. As soon as the insurgents went off Mrs.
Heffernan's servant-man ran to the barracks of But-
teiant to acquaint Colonel Sir Hugh Gough, 22d.
Regiment, who instantly went out with a party ()fins
'regiment, and after a search of sixteen or seventeen
hours, apprehended the gang, who are fully identified.

Eight montbi ago, a youtlii Tritned Oldham, -in
'Chrht't Hospital, went to bed at the Usual hour, and
rose in the morning totally•' dumb : • he' preserved
every ether faculty, but was obliged• to write Non; a•
slate for everything he wantei that he•could not ex-
plain by signs. The Governors of that ex:ellent In-
stitution obtained advice from the most eminent of
the Faculty, and every-means were restittettto with-
out success. Galvanism Was also applied, but its im-
mediate process was equally ineffectuali On Friday
last, being exactly eight •months to'icaay,;h► • retired
io bed as usual, and• awoke suddenly about ele. en
o'clock, making so much noise as to awaken some of
his school-fellows. 'Their astonishment Induced so
much alarm, that the nurse opened the door of her
adjoining apartment to learn the cause—when many
voices exclaiined—,, 0 nurse, Oldham can speik
again r' nurse doubting the fact, immediately
went to him, and discovered the reality of this extra-
' ordinary phenomenon. In the morning the boy had
quite recovered his speech—and on being asked if he
felt any peculiar sensation? merely said, he thought
be.•was being galvanised, as he felt the tip of his
tongue affected, together with a rumbling in his in-
side. His school-tellows say, when they were first
awakened by :thy noise that he made, his voice re-
sembled the cry of an infant. Mr. AORRNItTHY re-
peatedly prognosticated that his voice would return
very suddenly.

Mr. JOHNSTON, Private Secretary to his Excellency
the LORD LIEUTENANT of IRELAND; left Stevens's
Hotel, Bond-street, yesterday morning, for Ireland.
THE EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE--A Mr, Bond gives
a very interotaing account of this building. When it
was destroyed by fire, a quantity of the melted lead
rushed in a torrent from the roof ott the head °retie'
of the men who -was looking up to see the success ti'
the water thrown up. It tell not only on his head;
but also on his face and shoulders; a part of it made
its way through his shirt-collar, and very much burnt
his neck and shoulder. From this moment the man
had a violent internal sensation, and imagined that a
quantity of this lead had passed down his throat and
got into his-body. This man's name was Henry Hall,
and though ninetpfour years °fame, he was, of a good,
;constitution„ and remarkably active. He had invari-,
:ahly told the surgeon who attended him (Mr. Spry,
now Dr. Spry, of Plymouth), that if he would do any'
thing effectual to his recovery he must relieve his
stomach from the lead, which he was sure was within
him; and this he told, not only to Dr-Spry, brit those
bout him, though in a very hoarse voice. The
reality of the assertion seemed however then incredible
to Dr. Spry, who could hardly suppose it possible.'
