DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.

MURDER OF MAJOR COLLIS.
FARTHER PARTICULARS.
Major CoLLIs, of whose inhuman murder, in rhi
county of Kerry, we gave an account yesterday, vas,
most amiable and excellent Gentleman. He had bey
long in the Army, had lost an arm in the serviced

sidence, where he lived during may years,

his property and half-pay, and dispensing acts
kindness and humanity to all around him, The ~....lf
bourhood in which he resided was very ofkid,ri r
bited, several Gentlemen living within ' '
ch oik'''
musket-shot of his house. The ruffians emend the
room in which the Gentleman lay,
to leave his bed, and some of them told him
he would not stir he should not be molested. ILI
spirit of a Gentleman, who had been a veteran °meet
of the King's Army, rejected such a compromise, anj
be instantly sprung from his bed, seized a poker, and
struck at one of the gang. Inartediately the rest of
the ruffians attacked the unfortunate Gentleman, zat
one of them having struck him eith the butt-end It
a gun, killed him with the blow. Gain appear, e,
have been the object of the wretches who con:mined
this atrocious deed. We have Lot heard that thee
took away any arms, and the character of the d,,'
ceased seems to negative the idea of any motive of
revenge or personal hostility to him. It is said that
there was about £2OO in silver in the house .n tilt
time, and that the murderers carried the whole Stnu
with them, being a kind of booty which would nn.
like Bank-notes, afford any clue for the detection e;
Idle perpetrators of the horrid crime-.
FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING POST or TUESDAY.
Limerick is far from presenting a more traaot
aspect than heretofore. Houses are plundered ad
arms taken away as usual. We rejoice; however,a
find that some suspicious persons have been appm
hended and lodged in the County Jail. But no 4
pression has been made on the Insurgents.
Prom Cork we are gratified to learn that the cit
turbances are not at least increasing.

The following communication has been left at or
Office by a Gentleman aho was an eye witness td'
transaction which took place on Friday night lag,
It is dated Scart.
Amidst the many attacks which have been tilde
upon the houses of private Gentlemen in the Cool
of Limerick, none have been more serious, more&
termined, or more repeated, than those upon scat
near Rathkeale, the seat of JAMES CoNDOx, Lq. It
the commencement of these disturbances, which Lim
risen to such a height in this distracted country,
threatening Placards were nightly posted on thei4
door, warning Mr. CONDON not to retain in hulas
certain individuals whom they named, to on at
sundry tenants, and to neither demand or mew
either rents or tithes. As Mr. CONDON sa bolo
the Rector for the parishioners to the wet of
E.. 500, according to an assessment which mired
to by all parties, he very properly took nonotiari
them, when almost immediately he received met
letters through the Rathkeale Fosooffice. The fal.
lowing is a literal copy of one of them:
u Ma. Cosmos—Let me find no more of your tmaidagsar
poor people, or else you will sorely repent it, and lore Tee
people their potatoes and turf, fur the poor have troubles**

" Dated the 6th of October, 1821."
Still Mr. CONDON acted in a resolute and ids
mined manner, and these efforts accordingly lee
changed his domestics nor conduct, the comers
of which was four formidable attacks being tite
upon Scan, at different periods, by an imrnentb
of armed ruffians, who robbed the house of
fire-arms, threatened and offered to punish
