The following new regulations have been just issued by the Lords
of the Admiralty, for the establishing an improved mode of vi-
tualling the seamen of his Majesty's Navy, and paying to them a
portion of their pay whilst employed on foreign service:
ADMIYALTY OYTICE, JULY 1, 1824.
The Kum having been pleased, by his Order in Council of the
23d of June, to establish a new and improved scale for victualling
his Majesty's Navy, a copy thereof is subjoined.
There shall be allowed to every person serving in his Majesty's
ships, the following daily quantities of provisions, viz.
Bread - - llb. I Sugar -
Beer - • lgal. Fresh Meat
Cocoa - - luz. Vegetables -
Tea - - }oz.
When fresh meat and vegetables are not issued, there shall be
allowed in lieu thereof :

1 ioz.
I lb.
lib.

Salt Beef alternately ilb. I Salt Pork alternately 4lb.
Flour - - Vb. Peas - i pint.
Am!, weekly, whether fresh or salt meat is issued, oatmeal half-
pint, vinegar half-pint.
On the days on which flour is ordered to be issued, suet and
raisins, or currants, may be substituted for a portion of flour, at th,e
following rate:
One Pound of Raisins being considered equal to ilb. of Flour.
half-pound of Currants ditto ditto,.
.:
flalf-pound of Suet ditto ditto... . ..r.7-
In case it should be found necessary to alter any of the above
species of provisions, and to issue others as their substitutes, it is to
be observed that

111 b. of Soft Bread, or
1 lb. of Rice, or is to be considered equal .1-o 11b.
1 lb. of Flour »t Piscuit.
1 pint of Wine is to be considered equal; to a
* pint of Spirits G.llon of Beer.
1 ounce of Coffee, or is to be considered equal to t
ounce of Tea ounce of Cocoa.
llb. of Rice, or
is to be considered equal to 1
1 pint of Cavalances, or
1 pint of M Pint of P eas.oll ,
11b. of Butter is to be considered equal to lib of Sugar.
21bs. of Cheese are to be considered equal to tlb. of Cocoa.
*lb. of Onions or Leeks to be equal to lib of other vegetables.
Flag Officers, Captains, and other Commanding Officers will ob.-
serve in the above scale, and will fully explain to the Ships Com-
panies under their orders, the advantages of this new system, viz.
' that what were called banyan days are abolished ; that Meat,Vege-
table., Flour, or Peas, is to be issued every day ; that Flour, instead
of being exchanged for a portion of Beef, will now become an article
of the men's regular allowance ; and that a quantity of Tea or Coffee,
sufficient to make a Pint of liquid, will be issued every evening.
It will be observedin the Table of Substitutes, that the quantity
of Spirits to be issued in lieu of Beer or Wine is diminished one-
half ; but in addition to the Pint of Tea or Coffee allowed in part
compensation for this diminution of Spirits, his MAJESTY has been
graciously pleased, in further and full compensation, to add two
shillings per month to the pay of such Warrant Officers as do not
rank with Lieutenants, and of each Petty and Non-commissioned
Officer, Seaman, Marine, and Boy. As the diminution of Spirits
only takes place when beer and wine are not issued, while the ad-.
dition of tea or coffee and the increased pay are permanent, it will
be obvious how much this regulation is to the pecuniary advantage
and comfort of she Ships'Companies, while it is confidently expected
that the diminution in the article of spirits will conduce to the health.
of the people, and the good order and discipline of the ships.
In addition to these advantages, it is intended that a certain por-
tion of the pay which may be due to each Warrant and Petty Officer
(not allowed to draw bills), and to each Non-commissioned Officer,
Seaman, Marine, and Boy, who may be desirous of receiving, shall
be issued to them when in any port abroad or at home, at the expi-
ration of every one, two, or three months, as the Captain may
judge expedient, by way of pocket money, viz. four shillings per
month to Warrant, Petty, and Non-commissioned Officers, Seamen,
and Marines, and two shillings to each boy; but as the carrying this
arrangement into full effect will require the sanction of the Legisla-
ture, it is intended to submit a Bill to Parliament, early in the next
Session, to authorise it; and in the meanwhile, in order to carry
the same principle into effect as far as is at present practicable, the
additional Two Shillings, now added to the Pay as compensation for
pan of the Spirits, will be paid to the before-mentioned classes, in
the same way that Short itilototnies Money is now paid.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in communicating
to the Fleet the gracious and beneficent intentions of the Kirov,
are satisfied that they will be received by the Officers and men as
additional marks of his MAJESTY'S favour, and as real and sub-
stantial improvements to the condition of the Petty and Non-com-
missioned Officers and men.—By command of their Lordships

Mrs. H. BA RING is the daughter of Mr. BINGHAM, a
rich Senator of the United States, who kept a splendid
open house for the French emigrant noblesse in Philadel-
phia, among whom was a Count TILLY, with whom she
eloped when he was 22, and she about 16. They were
lawfully married the same night, but before morning
she was forced back to her father's house by a party
headed by her uncle, and the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed an act to annul the marriage. She was shortly
after married to Mr. H. 11Antuo.

SWIMMING MATCH.—At eight o'clock last evening,
two men undertook to swim across the Set pentine and
back for a wager of four sovereigns. One of them ac-
complished his task, but the other, on returning, was
seized with the cramp, and was unfortunately drowned.
Every assistance was given from the shore, but it proved
ineffectual ; and although the drags of the Humane So-
ciety were in active operation, the body was not dis-
covered at a late hour.

HORRIBLE FANATICISM' IN IRELAND.
?tom TIM WEVFORD HERALD.
It hid been intimated, by written notices dispatched
round the country, that a Virede was to have been
wrought, on Friday se'nnight, by the Rev. John Carroll,
Roman Catholic Curate of Ballymore. On that day he
visited a man of the name of 'Henry Neale, of Kil
nick, who was lying dangerously ill of apoplexy. Im-
mediately after his arrival, he said the man was troubled
with devils; he jumped on him several times, and cried
out to the people present to keep him in prayer, in or-
der to dispossess the sick man of the evil spirts. Such
was the effect of his operations upon one of the by-
standers, named Peggy Danby, that she fell to the
ground in hysterics; upon which Mr. Carroll jumped
out of bed, off Neale's body, and seized the woman in
a violent manner, alleging that she was full of devils
at the same time calling on 'lnns to assist him in ex-
pelling them.
He trampled on the unfortunate woman, broke seve-
ral of her ribs, and left her for dead, and then observed
that he would go and bury the devils which he had se-
cured. The blood was gurgling in the woman's throat,
and some of the superstitious wretches who were look-
ing on exclaimed that they " saw the devils come on;
of her mouth !" The Priest proceeded to the bridge of
Assaily, about 400 yards distant from the scene of his
operation, and on his return said " he bad buried the
reptiles of hell!" He then went to the house of Robert
Moran, of the same place, and struck his wife so repeat-
edly and violently, that when he left her she was
scarcely able to speak, and her head was swelled to a
shocking degree. The next house he visited was that
of Thomas Sinnot, nailer, also of Killinick, accompanied
all this time by at least fifty persons (some say by up-
wards of 200, but this is an exaggeration.) Tue devil-
killer asked the servant for her mistress, who told him
that she was not at ,home, but that she would go for
her ; he desired her to do so. In a few minutes Mrs.
Moran appeared; he asked her for some refreshment,
which she procured for him.

At this time a child (a fine little girl between three
and four years of age) then in bed in the room in which
he was, began to cry ; he consulted his Breviary, and
immediately affirmed that there was a devil in the child.
Pursuing the same course which he did with Neale, he
jumped into the bed, and on the body of the infant !
The father of the little innocent entered at the time ; the
child piteously cried out, " Oh save me! save me !"
which he was proceeding to do, but some of the miser-
able fanatics actually held him back!!! It may be,
asked who was holding the mother of the child? No
one—she was as free as any of the spectators, and, like
them, had a conviction her child was, as the Priest had
stated, " posses ed.' and that he was performing a mi-
racle to drive nut the evil spirit! Nay, the infatuated
mother was not only without restraint, as to any relief
.he might have been inclined to have afforded her in-
fain, but actually assisted the Priest in the performance
of his horrible work !!! He ordered her to get a tub of
water and some salt; these she instantly procured. The
innocent little sufferer lay bleeding and insensible in
bed ; he poured the contents of the tub upon her; and
as the water mingled with the stream of life, he cried
out with enthusiasm to those around him, " Behold a
miracle! I have turned water into blood!" He then
turned the tub over his victim, the edge of it coming
on the child's neck, mercifully completed the tragedy,
by putting an end to its sufferings! flaying desired the
,parents of the child not to allow any one into the room,
nor to tobch the child till his return, he departed to
Wexford. • His directions were religiously obeyed, and
the besotted parents anxiously awaited his arrival. Next
day (Saturday) the Priest's sister called at Sinnott's, and
told them to be contented, that their child would be
quite well on her brother's return!
Mr. -Devereux, who attended Mr. Carroll occasionally for the
last three years, visited hint a few hours previous to the unfortunate
occurrence in question, and considered him insane. The next even-
ing he found him in a high state of insanity. About two hours
after Dr. Devereux saw him, he was visited by Dr. Renwick, and
he concurred in opinion as to the unsettled state of his mind. Sur-
prise, of course, vanishes as respects his conduct ; but how shall we
designate that of the crowd of spectators who surrounded him,
some of whom lent their aid to the furtherance of his designs, and
all of whom, to the last moment, full of that teverential awe with
which a Roman Catholic peasant looks upon a Clergyman of his
communion, placed implicit faith in the propriety and efficacy of the
' wild and dreadful proceedings of the unhappy maniac !! Who would
hate thought that such fanaticism existed in any part of this king-
dom, much less in a county which forms such a contrast to all
others? The peasantry even of the neighbouring county of Water-
ford are a century behind the peasantry of this county. In one so
improved and respectable, and, above aU, in the barony of Forth,
that such a scene should have been exhibited, no reader can let pass
him without his. special wonder."
CORONER'S INQUEST.
Monday, Arthur Meadows, Henry Archer, Luis Van Williams-
dorf Richards Esqrs. and the Rev. W. Hughes, Clerk, Magistrates,
and a respectable Jury met to hold an Inquest on the body,
William Furlong, being duly sworn, detailed the circumstances
as given in the above narrative : he said he was certain the child
was alive when the tub was put on it; the Priest first began to sing,
and then to whistle; he unbuttoned his gaiter, and took off his
stocking; he whistled, and beat time to the nine of a hornpipe on
the side of the bed; witness believes the Priest remained about
three hours standing and sitting on the tub; the Priest took the tub
from off the child ; saw the child, and believed it to be dead ; the
father and mother were present, to the best of the witness's
opinion; there were several persons in the mom; does not
at present recollect their names ; believes the Priest called for
some water and salt, which he put into the tub ; after the wit-
ness suspected the child was dead, he went home to Bally-
sheen and left the father and mother and Priest in the room,
and several others ; to the best of his opinion, the Priest's sister
was in the room during the whole transaction, whom the witness
desired to go home : there was no interference on the part of the
persons present to save the child, except what was attempted by
.witness and its father; recollects Paddy Pule preventing him (wit-
ness) from endeavouring to save the child, and asked hint " was he
'mad!" Nicholas Wickham, of Assaily, was present during part of
-the transaction, and held a candle for the Priest; he (Wickham)
made no exertions to save the child.

From a Magistrate.—Could the people have prevented the Priest
from killing the child?-Yes, certainly.
Thomas Sinnott, father of the deceased, recollects Friday the 9tk
instant; did not send for the Priest; was not at his house when the
Priest came there ; believes the Priest was half an hour in the house
before him ; the child was three years and a half old, and was not
sick at that time; when he came in he heard a noise; went into the
room where the child was, and she spoke to him; the Priest was
in the room; the child said, "0, daddy !" the Priest and the
child were in the bed together; witness attempted to take the child
away, but some persons prevented him; he tried again to take the
child ; he saw nothing more except the child dead as the Priest was
going; never saw the Priest deranged before at any time; witness
resides in the parish of which the Priest is curate; cannot recollect
any person, but thinks there was a great number in the room.
Several other witnesses were examined to the same effect.
Dr. Devereux.—Examined the child, C. Sinnott; there was a
large contusion on the head, and great marks of violence on the
abdomen : the child might have died from either of the above
causes, or from suffocation when under the tub.
Dr. Kenrick corroborated the above evidence.
Vas orcv.--0 We agree that the child, Catherine Sinnott, deceased,
came by her death in consequence of the violence she received from
the Rev. John Carroll, as adduced by the evidence.

FROM THE HUSH PAPERS.
We hwe deep regret to mention a batbarous offence in this
neighbourhood, and marked by great cruelty' and disregard of hu-
man life. It appears that about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, a
number of armed villains rushed into the house of Michael Kenely,
who, with his four brothers, all honest, sober, and industrious men,
resided there. Of the five, they instantly killed two with murderers
blows of heavy weapons, and another died soon afterwards,from like savage treatment ; the two remaining brothers were also horri-
bly treated, but they were living yesterday, with some hopes of re.
cevery ; and one of them was sent to the Infirmary of Cashel,
the other has been taken to Caber. This massacre, as it may be
called, took place near New Inn, and within about half a mile of a
party of military and police stationed in that village; hut having
fired no shots, the murderers effected their purpose without beim;
heard at New Inn, and so made good their retreat in time. The
cause of the attack on these poor people, and the facts of the ca'e
itself, are mentioned in various ways, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing communications we have received on the subject :
EXTRACT OF A LETTEIL—TURSDAY NICHT.—" The names Of the
three unfortunate men who are dead are Michael, William, and
Martin Kenely—the latter of whom survived till noon on Monday,
and died while the Coroner and Mr. Wilcocks were holding an In-
quest on the bodies of his brothers. John Kenely is at present in
the infirmary of Cashel, with his skull badly fractured, and little
hope of his recovery : the other brother, David, who is also mush
injured by the assassins, was taken in Caher.
" The assassins also committed a robbery: they took from the
house of the Kenelys se3s, with which these poor men intended
going to the fair of Graystown to purchase cattle.—Clonmel A:me.

succeeded in accomplishing their object, when they were overtaken
by the Police and Militia Staff, quartered in Castlecomer, and an
