DISTURBANCE.: IN IRELAND.

The Irish newspapers still continue to detail many
acts of wanton outrage ; but they are, generally, of
a less atrocious character than usual, though they re-
cord one murder committed on the servant of Wm.
Cox, Esq. of liAllynoe House, in the county of Lime-
rick ; and a list of several houses set on fire.

, .
A postscript to a letter from Newcastle,dated Sun-
day evening, nine o'clock, says-44 This moment the
town is illuminated by the blaze from several houses
in the line of Camas; which are now on fire—all is
bustle and alarm."

The following are the sentences passed on the
Whiteboys convicted at the Cork Special Commis-
sion, in addition to the three executed on Monday:
Daniel Murphy, Patrick Lebane, Thomas Coggin and Corne-
lius Lucy, to be hanged at Carrigaminny, oa Thursday, the 28th

Dummy, and Edmond Reen, to be hanged at Desure, on Fri-

A correspondent in the Limerick News of Monday,
gives the following description of the scene which
took place in Court when Baron M4CLELLAND passed
sentence on the above persons :
44 I had the melancholy opportunity of seeing the
thirty-two unfortunate wretches who were sentenced
last night. Gracious GOD! what a sight—it baffles
description. When I saw them the Couft was clear,
with the exception of the Jury-galleries, which were
so crowded that the Gentlemen could not get out.—
Such screams—:such lamentations—such wailing', I
hope never again to witness ; the old man of seventy-
three alternately bewailing the fate of eight children,
and calling aloud for his Priest. 4 Oh! is there a
Christian that will bring me a Clergy !' But to the
three unfortunates doomed for Monday, the woman
(Wackwall), was the best witness of her sex ever pro-
duced at a table ; nothing could disturb her determi-
nation. Brien is a fine fellow, nearly six feet high,
but he betrayed much weakness in-calling to every
Gentleman he knew, saying, be threw his life in their
hands, as if they could reverse the Judge's fiat. Re-
laghan is of the middle size ; he betrayed some
weakness in crying, &c his brother escaped, but
from his manner, and the. state of his feelings, it
was very evident he would as soon be convicted; But
Mahony, who • is a most determined fellow, ex-
claimed against the woman's evidence, and in, a loud
voice (while handcuffing), said, 4 where is the pro-
tection thelaws afford to the poor apu, when so
many lives hang on the evidence of one woman?
he said ;his so loud as to draw the cries of all the
rest ; he told them all .to give up crying, there was
nothing for it but to have recourse to their prayers
at once ; this he repeated, and said; 4 It is better to die
innocent than be transported guilty, any way."
