announced themselves for Kerry have been much occupied, rani
the last week, in canvassing the freeholders. The spirit of the

A discovery of a Danish mill was lately made by some labourers
clearing out an old water-course on the lands of Killoghteen, one
mile to the west of Newcastle, in Limerick ; also, a screw-press,
with vats and coolers, a quantity of heath, in a raw state, some put•
verifed, with several cakes like rape cake, by which it appears it was

Two young men, brothers, of the ages of seventeen and twos)
sons of Mr. J. Grant, cabinet maker, Culeer.sereet, Bristol, were
drowned early on Sunday morning last, while bathing in the Float,
near the Glass House, on the sea banks. The following particulars
of this melancholy event, as detailed by an eye.witneu, were giver.
in evidence on the inquest, which was held yesterday ancrnoen. b..
fore J. Langley, Esq. The deceased had agreed to walk out,
the fatal morning, with a young man named Hawkins, and they au-
cordingly called him up about half past five o'clock. They pro-
posed bathing, but he endeavoured to persuade them aping it.
the water was too cold, and that it would be much better to walk
the Hot wells. The deceased, however. persisted in entering the water.
while Hawkins remained on the bank by their clothes. The bed of at

but, unfortunately missing his hold, Henry again fell beyord
his depth, and Joseph, in striving to extricate him a second time.
became involved in his fate. Their companion, Hawkins, coo'.:

Indeed, at first, he was not conscious of their danger. but on
coming convinced of it, he ran up the bank, gave an aLnu, recd
when several persons had collected, went home and acquainted the:.
unhappy father. Soon after his return to the spot, grappling-note
were procured from Prince's.atreet bridge, by one of the wen wt.
ply on the river, and the bodies were dragged out : a surfer:
was immediately sent for, but on his arrival he declared life to to
totally extinct. The bodies were in the water nether more dig
half an hour; Joseph was picked up first, and Henry about ten mi.
notes after. The father, f the unfortunate youths, immediately a
being informed of the accident, repaired to the bank of the TiVO.
He bad not long been absent when a wretch, for wean call him bc
no other name, called on Mrs. Grant, and said he had been sent I”

Friday last, the body of Mr. Richard Spearing was discovered
on the beach at New Way Point, in the parish or Piddinghoe,

I who found the body say that it was in the same state in which they
brought it to Piddinghoe,—that is, with only the stockings and
neckkachief on. These, it must be observed, were all marked.

discovery of which a
reward of five guineas had been offered, and has been claimed.
It is, however, gooney suspected that the body, when found.
had other Mils of dress on. It is known that at the time of tilt h
lamentable accident the deceased bad money and a valuable wate
with him, and the body appears free from bruises. Hence en
nion prevails that it was stripped on the beach. Indeed, the Pro-
