DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND:

BURNING OF A OLRRE HOUSE AT KTLLEEDT.
Sarrirdl, night, the Ist instant, the Glebe-house of 1
the Rev. Edward Geraghty, Rector of Killeedy, was
entered by a numerous armed party of insurgents;
and after replenishing themselves with plenty of
bacon and potatoes, which they boiled, they proceeded
to partake of some of the exquisites of the cellar, by
drinking several dozen bottles of fine old wine, Ste.
after Which, they set fire to the house, exulting with
acclamations of triumph, and then depared reeling
drunk, firing shots through the different parts they
passe I—when arrived at a farm-house on the lands
of Dorrerv, the estate of Mr. Maunsell, they instantly
set it on fire, and both houses were consumed to
ashes. Mr. Geraglity's house was a complete edifice,
built in the most modern style, excellent offices, and
}host tastefully furnished, all of which were totally
tiestrored. The fire was to be seen at Newcastle,
from whence a party of the 42d Regiment were or-
dered next morning. On their arrival, they perceived
a few persons near the ruins, all of whom ran away,
on which the party fired, and after a pursuit of some
miles, repeatedly firing, they got up the mountain;
a piece of the cape of a coat was shot off by a musket
bullet. When the army returned from the ruins, the
peasantry collected from all directions to the house,
which was still in flames, and did not leave a single
article of any description whatsoever but they tore
away and laid waste. A quantity of bacon, meal,
potatoec, and wool, which were then not consumed,
were all carried off by them, also such portion of fur-
niture as they were able to rescue from the flames,
and even the potatoes that were in pits in the garden
were taken away, and the bees in their hives de-
strove.) or carried off. All this was the labour of
Sunday, and on Monday, five cows, and a horse of
great value, were publicly carried off the lands by an
armed p:nty of these savages, to the mountains ; also
a large stack of hay, of some tons, was regularly dis-
tributed among the insurgents or their friends. The
valuable young timber has also been taken away.—

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BUTTEVANT, FEB. 11.

" I have ascertained that the bodies of ten of the men who
were shot at Newmarket, were left that night in a bog hole near
the place, until the nights became moonlight.
" The body of another man, who lived near Newcastle, and
who was forced trom his wife and a large family the day before
v. as taken to the widow, who was informed if she shewed the
ef,-,hte.t appearance of grief, she would be put to death. She
1.-AS urdered to hide the body for some days, and then bury it
privately.
" Sally park House, which was given by George B. Low;
for the use of troops, was burnt, and thirty hogsheads of
eider. Mr. Low estimates his loss at one thousand pounds.
Th: re have been eight hoop-, in and near Churehtown, and
a quantity of timber, belonging to Sir Juba Purcell,burnt, in the
course of last week."

The following notice was posted outside Adare
Chapel on Saturday night :
" General Rom, Commanding in Chief the Army of Ire-
land, being drsirons of organizing, with as little delay as possi-
ble, an administrative power for the province of the County of
Cork, directs as follows :—lst. That every individual from the
age of sixteen to forty inclusive, is required in the name of
the Irish Republic, instantly to repair to the Rebel Camp,
in order to march in mass against the common enemy, the tyrant
of Ireland—the English, whose destruction can alone insure the
independence and the welfare of the ancient Hibernia.
(Signed)

'4 The General Commanding-in-Chief the Army
of Ireland, JOHN ROCK, K.C.B.

" All to march to Vernon; or Mallow with speed, the fate
of the Palatines will be the fate of an who shall stay a torn.
these bad times."

A few days ago, a highly respectable Gentleman,
near Killarney, was requested by his tenantry to at-
tend en 'Thursday last, and that all to a man would
take the oath of allegiance. lie accordingly re-
paired there, but instead of performing their pre-
mise, intimated that they had received further orders
from Captain Rock, not to do any act except they got
a reduction of one-half their rents, and be freedirom
all description of tithes and taxes.—Linserick Chronicle.
Several other outrages are detailed in the Irish Pa-
pers of a similar nature to those we have enumerated.

Saturday, the Right Hon. WILLIAM CONYNGIIAM
PLUNKETT was unanimously re-elected M.P. for the
University of Dublin.
On Saturday arrived at Portsmouth the Intrepid
transport, Lieutenant PRITCHARD, agent, from the
Cape of Good Hope, which place she left on the
15th of December, with part of the 72d Regiment
on board, and a few invalids from the 98th and 54th
Regiments. The 72d Regiment has been at the Cape
trom the time of its capture, 16 years since ; most of
the men would willingly have remained and settled.
The remainder of the regiment is coming home in
the Alfred and Borodino transports. The 11Yezatox
frigate, Captain LILLICRAP, had arrived at the Cape
with the Governor, Lord CHARLES SOMERSET. The
late acting Governor, General Sir R. DOBKIN, is re-
turned to England in the Intrepid. The HYPERION
vas to remain in command of the station (having the
:',IENAt, HERON, and CYGNET, under orders) until the
art ival of Commodore Notrzsz from England, in the
ANDROMACHE, when the HYPERION would go on to
The GLASGOW frigate, Captain B. C. DOYLE,
had touched at the Cape, having had two months
passage, and, after remaining three days, proceeded
on to Ceylon, to land the Honourable Sir EDWARD
PAGET, G.C.B. the new Governor. A Dutch East
Indiaman was wrecked at Robin Island (Cape), early
in December, but the crew and great part of the cargo
were saved. The Nth Regiment, Colonel Sir C.
CAMPBELL, was preparing to embark for India, with-
out waiting to be relieved by the 49th Regiment, now
on the passage for that purpose. 'The settlers at Port
Elizabeth (Algoa Bay) had again been disappointed
by a partial failure of their second crop of wheat.—
Their neighbours, the Caffres, had not, as was ap-
prehended, recently offered them any annoyance,
but, on the contrary, a good understanding prevailed
with them. A new light-house was erecting at the
Cape, on one of the points of Table Bay, which was
zeirly finished ; another is ordered to be built at Port
Elizabeth. The marine establishment at the island
of Ascension is doing well.
BoisarAsces favouri:e horse, which followed the remains of
lis fluster to his grave, is now in his Ma.asrris stud—a bay
Arabian, of beautiful symmetry.
The ill lialelitlnd Gazed,: of Saturday says—" On Wednesday
Insmilis Woassescit's Bank, Lancaster, stopped payment. We
bear that there is likely to be a deficiency of s 000,000."

rat WELLiNetON Mat&
It• .r.-nuar.
wlti be rdeolleettid that, od the rettim of tie
Duke of WU:Mut:Tom to England, at the Poke of
1814, the Merchants and Bankers of London, anxious
to offer to his Grace a memorial of their high admi-
htion and profound gratitude for his public services;
.appointed a Committee for that purpose. Messrs.
GREEN, WARD, and Co. of Ludgate-street, were se.
lected to execute the work ; and, under their direel
tion And superintEncitace, has been wrought one
of the most splendid phicluttions of asocterfi art.—
On Saturday his Grace (having previously appointed
that day) attended at Messrs. GRUM and Wmur's,
accompanied by Lord Frmitoy Sosslasirr, and was
there met by W. MANNINO, Esq. M.P. the Chairman
of the Committee, who delivered the splendid trophy
to his Grace, in the name of the Merchants and Beakers,
and at the same time expressed to him the sentiments
of respect and attachment with which they, in com-
mon with a grateful country, are animated towards
his Grace's person. The illustrious Duke made an
appropriate reply to this address.
This magnificent Shield is executed in silver richly
gilt, with two ornamental Columns of the same costly
material. We shall give a short description both of
the Shield and of the Columns, which are meant as
ornamental accessions to it, when • placed among
the other splendid memorials of the illustrious Ge-
neral's victories.

The Shield is circular ; its diameter is about three
feet eight inches. At the first gl knce of the eye three
concentric divisions strike the spectator, namely, a
convex broad border of deadened gold richly orna-
mented in basso relievo, an inner circle of burnished
gold radiating from the centre and slienly convex,
and a bold group of figures in alto reltevo executed
in deadened gold, occupying the centre of the Shield.
The central group, nobly prominent, and beauti-
fully relieved by the raiiant ground on which it is
placed, consists of 14 equestrian figures, besides an
allegOrical representation of Fame, crowning the
il-
lustrious Commander ; and there are three prostrate
figures under his feet, descriptive of the violence, the
devastation, and the despotism to which his victories
so happily put an end. The Duke of WELLINGTON
himself appears on horseback in the middle, and he
is surrounded by Officers who held important com-
mands under him in the Peninsula. The grouping is
most admirable. The Duke, without appearing de-
tached from his associates, is sufficiently distinct and
striking; whilst the other Officers fill the surrounding
space, without producing any effect of crowd or con-
fusion. Some of the countenances are remarkable
likenesses, particularly those of Lord 13EnesPottn and
Sir Loway COLE, which are both finished with a
precision and sharpness truly surprising in this sort
of workmanship.
The outer border is divided into ten compartments,
representing the principal features of the Duke's mili-
tary life, up to the general peace of 1314, when the
plan of this costly work was first adopted. Of course,
the unparalleled triumph of Waterloo does not enter
into the series of events here recorded ; but it must
remain indelibly engraved on every British heart to
the latest posterity. The subjects of the different
compartments are as follow :
1. Tug VICTOST or MOM (Sept. 23, 1803).—The British
cavalry and infantry, having left the artillery, whose progress
(being drawn by bullocks) was too slow, advance, and over-
come all opposition; and the charge made by the 10th regiment
of dragoons overthrows the Mahrattas, and decides the day.
2. Tux Barns or Vlllll6lla cAlliplit 21, 1808).—This victory
led to the delivery of Lisbon. the charge of the 71st Highlasil
regimet.t, which mainly contributed to the defeat of the French,
L here introduced.

S. The Passaos 07 ?HZ Davao (May 12, Iso9).—The City
of Oporto is here d, surrounded by women and chil-
dren, who receive personified,
as their deliverer. The French
are seen flying at his approach.
4. TORRIM Vsna.ts (March 6, 1811).—The Allied troops ad-
vancing from the lines and pursuing the enemy, whose flight is
marked by conflagration and famine.
S. BADAJOS TAW BY ASSAULT (April 6, 1812).—This sub-
ject may be said to represent the conquest of the many strong
holds on the frontiers of Portugal.
6. Tsui Barns or SALAMANCA (July 22,1812).—The British
army, having entered Spain, defeat the French under Marmont,
at Salamanca. Marmont wounded.

7. Tug BATTLX or Vzrznats. (June 21, 1813).--Where the
usurper Joseph is defeated in person, the females of his suite,
baggage waggons, &c. taken, and the French eagles captured.
8. Tue Barns or THZ PTIZNICTIS 813).—An Officer is seen
planting the British colours on the heights, before which the
Imperial standard is overthrown. The City of Bourdeaux is
personified, rising to welcome the British army, and hoisting the
ancient colours of France.

F. THE ENTRANCE or WELLINGTON MO TOULOUSE (April 12,
1814), where all sexes and ages hail him as their deliverer; an
old Knight of St. Louis is seen grasping his hand, and welcoming
him as the restorer of the Bourbon Dynasty, &c.
10. Tee DUZZDOX or Argun:crow Co/immix') (1914).—The
Duke, with the " Baton de Mareschal" in his hand, kneeling be-
fore the Prince Regent to receive the Ducal Coronet.
.... _._ .

The Columns are intended to represent the fruits
of the victories depicted on the shield. They are each
about four feet three or four inches in height, includ-
ing the figures of Fame and Victory, by which they
are respectively surmounted. The body of each Co-
lumn is formed by the trunk of a Palm-tree, with a
capital of leaves : it stands on a triangular base, and
is surrounded in each instance by three characteris-
tic figures.
Around the Column, sustaining the figure of Vic-
tory, are resting, in attitudes of repose, three Soldiers
of the United Kingdom, namely, a British Grena-
dier, a Highlander, and an Irish Light infantryman;
each supporting the flag of his country, distinguished
by the Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock. The subjects
described in basso-telievo on the base are—Britannia
awarding the laurel-wreath alike to the Army and
Navy ;—A Return to the frill occupation of the useful
and ingenious Arts;—and The Old and Young join-
ing in the festive dance.—Groups of military tro-
phies and weapons arc heaped up at the angles is if
no longer required.
Around the column surmounted by the figure of
Fame, are placed in quiescent attitudes, three soldiers,
emblematical of three of the nations whose troops the
Duke commanded; namely, a Portuguese, a Sepoy,
and a Guerilla, who are suppmed to have bound a
medallion of the Duke among the folds of their re-
spective flags. Under each figure is a bas-relief, de-
scribing the peaceful occupations of the several coun-
tries released from their enemies; thus, under the
Guerilla are Spanish peasants dancing, while the vine
and the oxen denote the return of agriculture and the
vintage. Under the Portuguese, the loug-neglected
vineyard appears restored to its produ:tive harvest:
and beneath the Sepoy, a Hindostanee family reposes
in peace under the protection of the British Govern-
ment, while a Warrior is relatinglan account of the
Battle of Assaye, by which the count:), was freed
