• yehn I P !WA convieted on Saturday laft *of High
Treafon, was yefterday executed in Patrick-greet,
oppofite to his former refidence. He appeared truly
penitent for his crimes, and particularly lamented,
that he had abandoned the doarines of the Kirk of
Scotland, in which he had been bred, for thofe Of
the Church of Rome, which he had adopted fince
his, coming to Ireland, He made revere' important
communication); to Mr. Sheriff POUNDPN, in confe-
quence of which that indefatigable officer, Major
&aft, repaired to M4lntofh's former houfe, where be
difcovered a concealed door artfully formed by bricks
built in a frame, plaiftered over to refemble the reft
of a wall which was covered with (helves, and turn-
ing out upon hinges and caftors ; upon opening this
door a tier of chalet rooms appeared, communicating
by, trap doors and feeling ladders through three dif-
ferent Rories of the houfe; they were fpacious enough
to conceal forty men, and were provided with air-
holes communicating with the outer wall. In there
rooms were found from 3 to 400 pikes of a very pe-
culiar conftruCtion, having an iron binge in about
half their length, by which they doubled up, and'
though when extended they were fix feet long, yet by
this contrivance, it, was poflible to carry one of them
undifcovered under a man's coat. A quantity of
fulphur was alfo found, and every appearance of
much mifchievous preparation having gone forward
in the houfe. Major Sias brought away the door as
a curiofity: it now lies at his office in the Cagle.
AMong other particulars, M'lntofh declared
that there had been no gunpowder manufaftored in
the houfe in Patrick-greet ; the explofion was of fix
or feven pounds, which had been brought there to
make fignal rockets and Wes, and for which purpofe
was the machine brought there to pulverife the pow.
der, and the raltpetre which was alfo difcovered.—
Dr. GAMBL6 mentioned to the man, in his cell, that
Emmet confeffed to him a while before he died, that
he had but Ito men on the night of the late infur-
ration upon which he could depend to aid him in
his defperate defigns—M'lntofh acknowledged that
was a faa, raying at the fame time, ogee of them eighty
was I." Indeed every day exports the poverty and
weaknefs of the late rabble infurreition, and confirms
our confidence in the correaed fenfe and feelings of
the country, and the proud, and we may Cay the uni-
venial predominance of its loyalty.
A very melancholy occurrence took place on
Tburfday lag, in the county of Caren :—As-Lieut.
Kean, of the Portland Yeoman Infantry, was exer-
citing his Corps, a (hot vas difeharged from the
ranks, which entered his body and hesnflantly fell.
The aftoniffiment produced by this dreadful dream-
Rance may be eafily conceived, as Lieut. Kass was
a- Gentleman much beloved b his Corps and highly
refoated in the country.—Upon an invelligation
it appeared, that the brother of the man who had '
fired this unfortimate (hot had been the night before
(booting wild ducks on a neighbouring lake, and
that the innocent perpetrator had borrowed his mut: '
quet, and was &fared to fall into the ranks without
having had it properly examined.—Lieutenant Klatt
furvived but four hours. A Coroner's Inqueft was
Meld on the body, and after an accurate enquiry, a
verdia was found of Accidental Death ; in code-
quence of which the unhappy man who canted it was
admitted to bail.

Yeflerday about three o'clock, a girl of fourteen
years of age, in Plumber's.road, •Virbitehorfe.lane,
Stepney, hanging Come wet clothes to dry over the
Mantle piece of the fire place, her clothes caught fire,
and not having fufficient pretence of mind to wrap
herfelf in the wet linen, ran down (lairs in the fanning
air, which added to her diftrefs. Her cries brought
people to her an:nice, who fubdued the flames,
which had already burnt one of her eyes out. Every
poffible attention was paid to her, and lb: was taken
to the hofpltal with little hopes of recovery.
A defperate affray took place on Sunday night,
about eleven o'clock, at the corner of Avon meet.
Bath, between Come foldiers of the Army of Referee;
when the watchmen Intel tering to reflore order, fe-
veral of the foldiers drew their bayonets upon them,
and nabbed one of them to the heart I another
watchman was feverely wounded, but it is hoped nit
mortally. Scveral, if not all of the party were uppre
bended. The quarrel, it teems, originated at a public
houfe in Avon.dreet, refpefting Come loofe women.
A few days fence a fire broke out in a barn be.
longing to Mr. William Booth, at Pentridge, in
Derbythire, which happily was extinguifbed before
much of the property was confumed. Mr. Robert
Martden. a confiderable farmer of, that place, as he
was smiling to remove Coate thatch from the flames,
fuddenly fell down and expired.

Early on Thurfday morning a fire broke out at a
Gentleman's hoofe contiguous to Woolwich Warren
on the Plumßead fide, which entirely confunted the
fame, together with the houfe adjoining. Appre.
benison was at firft entertained for this valuable mi.
litary depot ; but the drum having beat to arms,
and plenty of water and anillance obtained, the
&Met were revented from doing further injury.
We do not hear that any lives were log, nor how
the fire began. It is Paid that between awl. and
soot. in bank notes were loft.
