COUNTY OF KERRT.

TRALEE, OCTOBER 10.—It is reported that some
of the discontented characters of the neighbouring
County have found their way into this town, and have
endeavoured to proselyte some of our poorer inhabi-
tants, whose distresses they hope will cause them to
lend a ready ear to their wicked and seductive arts.
We hear that persons have been sworn not to pay
tythes or taxes. Greatly, indeed, as we may rejoice
at anything in the order of PROVIDENCE which has.*
tendency to ameliorate the condition of the poor, yet
we turn with abhorrence from those blasphemous pro-
ceedings, where GOD is solemnly invoked to sanction
designs of lawlessness and tumult, commenced under
the obligation of an oath. Let it be recollected, that
the poor man forsakes his best friend, and, indeed,
his only consolation, when he forsakes his Goo ; and
that between riot and contempt of Gob, there is but
one step.

The City of Bristol is about to be improved by
the erection of a handsome bridge over a branch of
the Frome.

MURDER AT HIGHGATE —ln the expectation that
circumstances might probably have been brought
forward to implicate Barrel in the charge of num-
der, prior to the commencement of the Sessions, the
Rev. Dr. Owen, of Highgate, on the last examina-
tion, appointed yesterday for Barrett and his wife
being again brought up in custody, in order that they
might hear any evidence brought forward against
them. Mr. HARMER, the solicitor for tile prosecu.
tion, thought it, however, unnecessary for them to be
brought from Ncsrgate, the Sessions being so nearly
approaching ; but, in their absence, recommended
that every exertion might be made to forward the
ends of justice, by tracing even the most frivolous
matter to the bottom. It was intended to have brought
forward a private watchman, late in the employ of
Mr. Rothschild, who discharged him for having stab-
bed the coachman in a quarrel, but he has not yet
been found. The prisoners, Barret and his wife, stand
fully committed for ti ial on the charge of robbery at
Mr. Rothschild's, and it is expected that their trial
will be brought forward at the Old Bailey, in the
course of next week.

DREADFUL FlRE.—Last night, between ten and
eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the South side of
Valentine-place, in the Surrey-road, about half way
between the New-cut and the Magdalen Hospital.
It began in an oil and colour shop. The fire rapidly
involved every part of the house, and .communicated
with the next. Assistance was promptly sent for,
and two or three engines soon arrived, but either
from want of water, or from ignorance where to find
the plugs, the hi men and the ❑eighbours w ete con-
demned for more than half an hour to witness the pro-
gress of the conflagration, without being able to take
a single step to impede or arrest its course. One
woman, who was in the second floor, after the flames
had caught the lower parts of the house, and blazed
out of the window around her, threw herself down,
and was caught in a blanket.—The two houses that
first caught Me were rapidly destroyed, and a third
was nearly burnt down, when (about twelve o'clock)
water was found, and the engines began to play, and
in less than half an hour the Activity of the firemen
triumphed, and the inhabitants of the neighbouring
houses, who were trembling for their safety, and
beginning to remove their property, wets letieved
front alarm and appiehenston.
