51 A RIMOROUGH, S'FIZI: ET.

.krentialt Kelleher, a nr.tive of Ireland, a 1. ilow of gigantic stature
and terrible hue, has been several days in custody, charged
with a ferocious aud bretal assault upon his wife, by dragging her
and an Want only fourteen months old, out of bed, and locking
them eat of the :vont. On another 1,cca,4011, he seized her by the
hair, dragged her naked, ;and kicking her all the way, into the kit-
chen, where there stood a large tub full of dirty water, in which
she had been washing. lie dragged her over this tub, and forc-
ing her heal, face downwards, i;:to the water, while her body lay
atretLhed L;oan the ground, he held her in that position until she
was ready suncated, and her throat almost cut through by the
sharp et'..:t of the twb.. The prisoner attempted to justify his furious
rreati:ent of the poor woman, by alleging that he found her intoxi-
creed when be came home; but this was proved to be fake.
;11r. CONANT said, that a more diabolical or savage assault he
had never heard of, and he hoped that the parish would nut lose
si,;lit of the prisoner until they made an example of hint.
!le was then ordered to hod bail on two assaults—one on his
wife, and eu a young woman who was assisting her, wham the
rtitiirn knocked down three times; and to give forty-eight hours
notice of bail.

Thursday, a steam-boat, purchased for the King of
DErotAßK,and most splendidly decorated and furnished,
called fro the River fur Copenhagen, in which his Ma-
jesty and family are to embark, to visit Jutland anal
other places, in the coure of the summer. It is manned
by British .e.inien, with a Captain of the Danidt Navy,
aid accompanied by 3lt.titt.t.hspie, a Scotch E3gineer,
to superintend the machinery.

REMOVAL OF A WINDMILL.— A novel sight was
observed at Chelmsford on Tue.day, in the removal of
the body of a windmill and its contents, entire, from the
place where it had been erected many years, upon a
scite near the brewery of Messrs. Woodcock, Hodges,
and Wells. The mill was first divested of its sails and
cap, the body raised from the foundation by a lofty
triangle, pullies, and blocks, and when sufficiently
elevated, a strong four-wheeled timber carriage drawn
under, upon which it was let down; the carriage and
its lofty burthen were then gradually removed, the
wheels being properly blocked to prevent too sudden a
pressure down a short declivity into the road, whence it
was conveyed without any accident in the most majes-
tic manner, to the astonishment and admiration or a
vast number of spectators, and safely deposited by the
same means upon another foundation on a scite pre-
pared for its reception.
At the battle of 'Trafalgar, a seaman of the Conqueror,
upon losing a leg, and going below to have it ampu-
tated, observed to the Purser, " Ah, Mr. Beattie, I
shalt live now half as cheap again as I did before; one
pair of stockings will serve me just twice as long."—A
Sardinian pointer, belonging to an Officer of the same
ship, in clearing for action, had been hastily thrown
out of the main deck ports, and lodged upon the rig-
ging of the swinging boom on the side engaged, where
he remained unhurt during the battle. This created so
strong an affection for it in the ship's company, that
they requested to have it, and the dog sras afterwards
turned over, with his shipmates to the Barham; the
dog was alive in 1820.

iRELAAi

DUBLIN, MAY 12.
Sunday night, at eleven o'clock, a band of coot
determined villains, deliberately marched from their
fastnesses in the vicinity of the In akes of Ballinascorney;
and aware that there were only one peace•officer and
three patrol stationed near Mr. Trant's c.tate, proceeded
to level a house on that Gentleman's land. They had
previously demolished three Louses on the spot; :tie
noise created by the falling of the walls alarmed peace.
officer Murray, who, with his three rolicemen :those.
mentioned, advanced, and errdeted the ban-litti, ft,.
such they may. be termed, to desist. The Captain of
the Rockites systematically commanded a inovenico..,
and by a military tour, the Police were surrounde.l
thirty men, as well armed as regular troops. 'Ex,•
presented their pieces in concert, and the commas,;,_
ordering the ranks to open, directed the out-nuntbered
police to retire, if they valued their lives—this they
were obliged to do.. The house was demolished—not
one stone was left in its place; the marauders quietly
wheeled ofF, and retired in order out of reach. The
police hovered about for some time in expectation of
catching some of them when separating from the main
body, but in this they were disappointed by the appa.
rent military tact of the insurgents. This is an alarm.
ing and mysterious circumstance indeed; doubtles,,
the lot ce of the police will be materially strengthened
in that lawless vicinity.
LIMERICK, MAY B.—Last night, a house, near Bally.
cahane, in this county, the propel ty of Mr. Kearney, of
tiii; city, was but ned, together with the furniture and a
quantity of potatoes ; the perpetrators, who were armed,
violently assaulted the c;:retaker and fired sever al shots.

Llosq.E,, MAY B.—Sunday evening last, ;it so early
au hour as eit;ht o'clock, the house of John Kelly,
of etorsaglimore, par 'sit of Drum, in 111.•,s cr,unty, was
tired into through a wiudcw. It is suppose) tl;e
was to ,hoot Kcily—the ball grazed his cheek.
The followiw; night, the house of Patrick Fallon,
of Colnamanagli, parish of St. Pcter's, was rnalicion,l7
set on fi:e. Four cows were unfo: tt natel y burru:s: to death.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an Inquest was
held on the body of John Gregory, a poor man who
lived in the Dover-roai, Borough, who (Eel in Guy's
Hospital, on Thursday, of a wound he had received
from a young relative. It was clearly prove,' that the
wound of which he died was purely accidental, and was
unintentionally inflicted in a scuffle. The Jury returned
a verdict accordingly.
SnAKSPEARE.—The original price of the folio (1625)
of our immortal Bard's Plays was 11. The highest price
it has ever yet brought at our book sales is 1121. is.
hich the late Mr. Boswell paid for the copy that was
Mr. Kenthle's. This book, it is true, had been rendered
extremely beautiful, and had, in its various stages, cost
Mr. Kemble 'really three times that sum. It had been
purified from all stains by the usual chemical process;
it had been inlaid into a royal paper, and superbly bound,
at fiist in three volumes, but finally compressed into one.
Thus sumptuously equipped, it was deposited in a neat
ca,r, with a lock and key, and remains the most pre-
cious copy of that folio.
