NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Retract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Dover, dated
15th November :—" Early this morning a small vessel was dia.
covered on shore on the Flats opposite to this place, and it blow-
ing very hard from the S. to S. W. every exertion was imme-
diately made by Mr. Sustain, an Officer of the Preventive
Service,- No. 24, Tower, to endeavour to save the lives of the
crew (who were distinctly seen making signals for assistance).
This Officer procured a small fishing-boat, and, with his men,
succeeded in launching through a heavy surf; but, just before,
they reached the vessel, they broke their rudder, and were not
,able to reach her, and with difficulty got on shore again. They
were then joined by Mr. JILL, Officer at No. 23, Tower, who,
la the most prompt manner, with his men, launched their galley,.
and, accompanied by Mr. &imam?, succeeded in reaching the
-vessel, but too late, as she had upset, and all on board perished.
Preen the boar that has been washed on shore, she appears to be
'OW anadtProvidence, of Deptford, Pam, Master, and supposed
a fishineressel. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Sust-
ain mad Mr. Jaz and crews for their humane exertions."

An am. of a very unpleasant nature, ithicit
cussed at Clones, in the county of Monaghan, at
Races held there lately, words a further proof of
correctness of the Attorney-General's statroriit an
Keenan's trial, that a wide extended conspiracy Was,
formed, confined to Roman Catholics of the lower ,
orders, and embracing the destruction of all Pret.-
ants. We are informed that &party of at least iOOO
strong, and of the Roman Catholic persuasion, as-
sembled on the Course, and, in compliance with the
rules of the test of the " Friendly Association." coin*
menced the work of destruction. One man of peace-
able and religious habits was pointed out, and a com-
manding voice called out " Earth him r which was
obeyed by a blow of a heavily loaded whip, which
fractured his skull and caused his death. Numerous
ether unoffending Protestants were felled, and consi-
derable injury sustained by numbers of those of that
persuasion. If, however, the outrage stopped there,
we may be disposed to attribute it to some sudden
and unpremeditated fracas on the Course ; but we
are told that the assailants, bold in their designs,
seized the horses of Colonel Madden's carriage,
opened the doors, and, with threats of taking his life,
obliged this Gentleman, a most respectable, influen-
tial, and popular Magistrate of this comity, to shout
and huzza for them and " Liberty for ever!"—
after which it was allowed to leave the Course; the
carriage of another Gentleman was seized, in which
the won cup was deposited; the cup (as the winning
of a Protestant) was obliged to be given up, and was
actually buried in the ground. For the outrage on
Colonel Madden, one man was apprehended, sent to
the Sessions at onaghan, then sitting, tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to be whipt in the town of
Clones last Thursday, and imprisoned twelve months;
this man is brother to a Roman Catholic Clergyman.
For the murder of another, a man is now in Monag-
han jail, the nephew of a Roman Catholic Clergy-
man. Is this the conciliation his Majesty's parting
admonition enjoins? From some unexplained cause
the punishment of whipping has been deferred by
Government until the 21st instant, and a meeting of
the Magistracy was held in Clones by directions from
the Executive; but the result of that meeting we have
not heard.— Cavan Herald.
Monday night two separate' attacks were made on
'the house of Colonel Baker, on the Glanmire road.
The windows were broken, in both instances, with
stones. At present the circumstances are. involved in
mystery, which a few days will dispel.—Cork Paper.
A notice, signed " The Hon. Captain Rock," was
posted on ie Chapel of Lisronagh on Saturday night,
threatening destruction to a man of the name of
Prendergast, who acts as driver to the Kilmore pro-
perty, unless he gave up a part of the lands of Shan-
bally, which he had lately taken: Mr. Con. O'Neil,
of Lisronagh, upon whose gate a similar notice was
posted, on the last fair night of Clonmel, was also
cautioned to give up his part of said lands (for which
he paid a few days before a fine of £300), or if not,
certain ruin awaited him. It was stated in this
notice, that the first visit to him (Mr. O'Neil) was fa-
vourable, but that if they were obliged to repeat it,
the, second would be worth talking about !" Sun-
day morning it was taken down by two of Captain
Wilson's' detachment of the Extraordinary Police
stationed at Lisronagh, under the immediate direc-
tion of Mr. Singleton, the Chief Constable.—Clortmel
Advertiser.

Sunday night, about eight o'clock, a young woman
passing through Catherine-street, was attacked by three
fellows, and dragged down a lane to the rear of the
New.iheatre where they violently ill-used her. Two
young men hearing her scream, went to her protec-
tion, and they in the most spirited manner rescued
her and conducted her to the Police Office. Her ap-
pearance was most deplorable; she related what,
passed, and stated she did not know the men, but
would if she saw them. Captain Drought's Police on
Tuesday took into custody James Cr itty and Francis
Curtain, both of whom were fully identified by the
woman as two of the persons who were concerned in
this shocking outrage ; they were committed to jail
by Captain Drought.—Limerick Chronide.
Tuesday night some men, armed, went to the
house of Laurence Naughton, in the South Liberties,
whom they obliged to give them four tenpennies,
and swore him to have a pound note on the next visit.
Wednesday night, a cow was maliciously houghed
on the lands of Castletown, and had not the herdsmen
been alarmed by the bellowing of the cows, the vil-
lains would, it is thought, have destroyed all the
other cattle. A few nights previous, in the same
neighbourhood, a number of armed fellows attacked
some persons who were in charge of cattle, &c. dis-
trained for rent, and after breaking open a house, and
ill-treating the people, drove off the cattle.—lbid.
Snociriocr Muaoaa.—An Inquest was held on
Tuesday, and adjourned to Wednesday, before John
Ackland and Wm. P. Brabazon, Esqrs. Coroners for
the county of the town of Drogheda, on the body of
Ann Curran, a native of Mornington, who was bar-
barously murdered on Sunday night last. The story
told by her son, who was in her company at the time,
was, thatqn Sunday evening, about six o'clock, he
accompanied his mother to Drogheda to make some
' purchases, for which purpose she gave him a pound
note. Having bought a pair of shoes and some other
articles, he drank spirits in different public-houses, of
which his mother moderately partook. When they
reached Captain M'Conchy's farm, below St. James's,
they were stopped by a than and two women, or men
in women's clothes, but to the best of Curran's belief
they were women. The man knocked young Curran
down, and kept his knee on his breast, whilst the
ocher parties were robbing and abusing the old wo-
man, from whom they took seven tenpenny pieces—
but they did not attempt to rob or search young
Curran. The robbers then retired towards Drogheda.
and Curran having lifted his mother from the ground.
found that she was quite dead. He carried the body
to a house at some distance on the road, and having
procured a car, brought it home.
Such are the facts detailed by Curran to Alder:
man Smyth, before whom he appeared the text morn-'
in with informations ready drawn for the purpose
of swearing 'to them ; but tuspiciOus circumstances
appearing on his examination, Alderman Smyth cots;'
ceived it 'his duty to detain him in custody until an
Inquest should be held, and in the meantime every
possible exertioq was made by Aldprixtim Sniyth and
the Coroners, to elucidate this mysterious affair.—
