DISTURBANCES IN IROLAND.—We !egret to pow
ceive by a Proclamation issued this day by the Lards
Justices of Ireland (in the absence of his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant), that the Barony of Gahnoy,
in the County of Kilkenny, and the Barony of Upper
Ossory; in the Queen's County, are nearly in a state
approaching to rebellion, so much so, that the Peace
Rreservation Act has been put in force in those dis-
tricts.--Hibernian Journal.

Tuesday sennight, a little after eleven o'clock at
night, Mr. haititt.L, chief Pease Officer, Dublin, in
consequence of information which he received, pro.
ceeded with a party of the Police to Temple-lane,
in that City, where some gaming tables were then in
full play. Being refused admittance, they commenced
forcing an entrance with sledges, which having ac,
compleshed, they succeeded in taking three tables,
from three separate houses, belonging to John Kelley,
James Reynclds, and Thomas Bishop. Twenty.twei
persons were secured in the houses of Kelly and Rey.
nolds ; those who had been in Bishop's escaped by
means of a ladder, by which they got to the roof of
the house. Five of the persons taken are detained
for want of bail.

List eatcu, MAY S.—Last night, a tremendoushura
ricaue took place in this city, about ten o'clock, which
continued one hour and ten minutes. During the
gale, a singular circumstance took place: an hour
and a half after tide began to ebb, it returned again,
and rose about two feet at our quays.
COAL, MAY 18.—Highwaymax Shot.—Saturday,
two Ladies proceeded in a sociable fi cm the town of
Fermoy, accompanied by a man servant, to pay a,
visit to a neighbouring family ; when about mid-way
to Kilworth, they were stopped by a single footpad,
who robbed them of a gold watch and what money
they had about them, without the servant being able
to afford them any assistance. A short time after-
wards the agent of Jotts HIDE, Eiq. M.P. cf Castle
Hyde, was also stopped and robbed by the same fe,
low. Mr. FINLAY, the agent, hestened to Kilworth,
made known the particulars of these daring robbe-
ries, and described the fellow particularly, which in-
duced Mr. BOYCE, a spirited Gentleman of that place,
to ride off immediately in pursuit of him. He shortly
came in sight of a man who he thought answered the
description. His suspicions were well founded, for
on inquiry, he was identified by a lad who saw hint
commit the robberies. Mr. Bowe rode up, and see-
ing him armed, called out to him to surrender The
villain, who took up his position in a gap, instantly
presented at Mr. Boyce, and when in the act of pull-
mg the trigger received that Gentleman's fire, and
was killed on the spot. 'The body was brought into
Fermoy, and recognised to be that of a quarryman of
the name of Adams who resided there.—An Inquest
was held, on Sunday, by six Magistrates, in the ab.
sence of a Coroner, and a verdict accordingly returned.
