IRELAND.

The accounts from Ireland. received this morning, state that
the insurrection Act is producing the best effects in the County
of Cork. In Limerick, and some other Counties, outrages still
continue; several houses have been attacked for arms, others
burnt, and cattle and grain destroyed. A murder has been com-
mitted on a young woman at Ballybeacon, on account of sonic
resentment against her brother.
The Cbrk °freckle contains a letter from Rossearbary, dated
Monday Last, which states that a party of the Rifle Brigade,
while conveying some prisoners to that place, got themselves
drunk, and wantonly shot a pig and a goose belonging to
a poor man; and after this, at Bareyhill, near Mr. French's
slate quarry, they saw a boy run into the house next to
the quarry, on the Roscarbary side, when one of the soldiers
went up to the door with his gun cocked and presented, and in-
sisted on the boy coming out, who with great difficulty was pre-
vailed upon to do so by his terrified family ; they forced him to
march on before them to the west with the prisoners, this
soldier, or one of his companions, having his gun cocked and
partly presented at his back, to the great terror of the boy,
and all his family, who gave him up for lost. The unfortunate
boy's sister, a poor half-starved creature, and almost literally
naked, ran after them, expecting to see her brother shot
every moment : one of the soldiers, on seeing her, waited after
the others and called to her to come nut of the field (where she
was t mining to watch the fate of her brother) for some indecent
purpose, and on her running hack fur protection towards
her father's cabin, shot her, and broke her thigh bone, within an
inch or two of the hip. The Chronicle says, that five of the sol-
diers concerned in the affair have been put under arrest.

Saturday night his Royal Highness the Duke of
YORK, accompanied by Colonel COOK, honoured the
Adelphi Theatre, for the purpose of witnessing Life
in London. The House was crowded to an over flow.
llis Royal Highness arrived at the Theatre about
seven o'clock, when lie was tulle:led into the Royal
box, which was handsomely fitted up for his recep-
tion, by Messrs. RODWELL, JONES, and LEE, the
Proprietors and Manager. His Royal Highness wore
a plain dress. On entering the box he was received
by the warmest plaudits, which were returned by
bowing to the audience. The vocal establishment
sting " GOD save the King," and his Royal Highness
joined in the chorus. The performances commenced,
and not only had a most happy excitement on the
risible muscles of the august visitor, but upon the
audience in general. The appearance of his Royal
Highness seemed to endue the actors with fresh life.
His Royal Highness quitted the Theatre about eleven
o'clock, apparently much delighted.
Yesterday the Duke of YORK attended Divine Ser-
vice at the Chapel Royal, in St. James's Palace.

When Lord Nontway was told, the other day,
that Lord BECTIVE, eldest son of the Marquis of,
HeaoronT, had married Mrs. DALTos:, the daugh-

catch than her father ever did!"
The success of the Volume which has so usefully
compressed all the Voyages round the World, with
eighty of their best engravings, has induced the same
lid;tor to compress the substance of all Modern
Travels of standard merit into a single volume, illus-
trated by one hundred engravings. The work will
appear at half:a-guinea bound, early in the ensuing
week, under the tide of the Universal Traveller.
Yesterday, the Rev. ROWLAND HILL was pre-
vented from preaching at St. Peter's, Cornhill,
although notice had been given that a Charity Ser-
mon, for the benefit of the charity children of the
Wards of Lime-street and Cot nh:11, was to be preached
by the above Gentleman, leave having been obtained
for that purpose. In the evening a vast number of
persons assembled in the different avenues to the
church, but, to their great disappointment, large
placards were posted on the doors that Mr. lllr.t was
denied the use of the pulpit. The refusal, it is said,
originated in a High Power. The consequence was,
that no service was performed.
We apprehend that the Public will be disappointed
of the rich treat which they have anticipated from the.
investigation of the claims of her Highness Olive,
Princess of Cumberland, in the Insolvent Debtor:
Court. A recent rule of the Court tenders the abso-
lute surrender to the office of all papers relating to
the estate of an insolvent indispensable, previous to
an inquiry into the matters contained in the schedule.
\V lien this case was lately before the Court, it ap-
peared that the Princess had not given up an alleged
bequest of the late King to her of £15,000, and for
this omission the case was then adjourned. We now
understand that her Highness is not ready to obey the
order of the Court with velvet to the delivery of this
important document into the office; and if our infor-
mation be correct, the Court, in pursuance of its or-
dinary practice, will strike out the case, and not suf-
fer it to be restored for hearing until this paper be
given up. It is not for us to surmise why her High-
ness has come to the resolution of thus suddenly sup-
pressing this most valuable paper. Application has
been already made to the King by his fair cousin for
the payment of the ...£15,000, but his Majesty has.
been advised not to pay the money. His Council, we
fear, entertained some doubts respecting the genuine-
ness of this precious instrument.—Observer.
