SOCIETIES OF MUTED IRISHMEN.

At the late Assizes at Monaghan, two men, of the
names of Patrick M'Kew and Tady Kelly, were in-
dicted and convicted—the former for administering,
and the latter for taking an unlawful oath. It ap.
peared upon this trial that an Association for seditious
and rebellious purposes has been extending itself
widely in that county. A part of the oath, and the
pass-word came out in the course of the trial, and
what is called a Constitution was produced, similir or
rather somewhat resembling that of the United Irish-
men in 1798.
DUBLIN, MARCH 26.—The most extrordinazy ac-
quittal of five brutal ruffians at the Assizes for the!
county of Mayo, has excited great astonishment. Five
of the Jury were Protestants, and seven Roman Catho-
lics, who having on their oaths made up their minds
upon the evidence laid before them, came out of the
box, and told the Judge that they were satisfied of the
guilt of the prisoners, and that they would bring in;
their verdict accordingly, if his Lordship would enter
into a compromise to spare their laves ; and when
the Learned Judge determined to do his duty, and
relying that the Jury would do theirs, sent them back '
to their jury-room, to commune with each other
and their own consciences. This Jury, who in the
first instance were, in less than an hour, satisfied of
the guilt of the prisoners, remained afterwards shut
up a whole night and half of the ensuing day, and
then came out, and on their oaths declared that
the prisoners were innocent men. It had been sta-
ted most untruly, in the debates at the Catholic
Comtnittee, that Roman Catholics did not obtain jus-
tice in party prosecutions, from Protestant Juries. But
here is an instance, and a most glaring and disgraceful
one, that the crown and country could not obtain, in a
cause in, which men of every religious persuasion, as
well as ofthe common feelings ofhumanity, are equally
interested, justice against five atrocious insurgents
from a Mayo Jury, the majority of which were Ro-
man Catholics. Upon the above verdict being given,
Baron Groaoz, the Judge, said, “ I know not how
to express my feelings upon receiving your verdict,
and shall only say, it is the very worst I ever knew
since I became acquainted with the administration of
justice." His Lordship made many other similar
observations at the moment • and afterwards, when
pronouncing sentence upon the *Cues, expressed a
hope that their fate would tend to counteract the
otherwise possible effects of the extraordinary verdict
that day delivered, which, he was convinced, must
have struck every man in the Court with horror. He
added, that he never in his life had said halt so much
in disparagement of the verdict of any Jury.

Orders are said to have been given to the Judge of
the Admiralty, that no restoration of Swedish pro-
perty shall be made, or money on account of it paid,
until further notice.
It is understood that Mr. PINKNEY proposes to quit
England in the Essex, on or about the 10th instant.
It is probable, however, that he will not take his de-
parture until he has acquired the knowledge of the
ultimate proceedings of Congress, prior to its disso-
lution on the 4th of March.
A messenger left town on Saturday, for Cadiz,
with dispatches for General GRAHAM. He is also the
