COUNTY OF MAYO.

Five of the persons who have been apprehended as
Ribbonmen in the Barony of Kilmain, have been com-
mitted to the county jail by ALEXANDER CLENDINING,
Esq. The others are still detained in Ballinrobe, for
further examination. The names of those who are
fully committed for trial are, James Costello, Mi-
chael Burke, John Jennings, Murty Farraher, and
Monza: Donoghue. The two former are charged with
having acted as leaders at a Ballinafad, and with
having, as such, administered illegal oaths—and the
other three are charged with having attended the
Ballinafad and assisted in administering the unlawful
oaths. This much we are able to collect from the
committal ; but we have heard from another source,
that some of these men were amongst the most active
promoters of ribbonism—that there is reason to hope
their apprehension will lead to the restoration of peace
and good order in the Barony of Kilmain—and (what
we are very ready to believe) that this advantage has
been obtained by the well-judged and well-executed
plans of Mr. ALEXANDER CLENDINING.

We regret to perceive that the Borough of Quin.
borowe continues in so disturbed a state, that it has
been thought necessary, on the part of the Magis-
trates, to hold a Special General Sessions on Monday
next, to consider of the expediency of putting in force
the duties of watching and warding, for the more ef-
fectual preservation of the_ peace, agreeably to the
Act of the 594 of the late King. Among other noc-
turnal proceedings which have lately disturbed the,
town, on the night of Friday last, some malicious
person or persons entered the chuff ch-yard, and
knocked off the ball from the top of the mausoleum
erected over the family vault of T. Y. GREET, Esq.
and otherwise defaced it, and also broke some of
the iron railing by which it is surrounded.
EARL •BA THURST.—A very serious accident had
nearly befallen the Noble Earl yesterday, while pro-
ceeding in his carriage to attend the KING at Carlton
Palace. His Lordship had reached the end of the
Kitio's garden-wall in St. James's Park, when one of
the horses became suddenly seized with fits, and stag-
gering forward a few paces, fell, and commenced
plunging with his feeneill he threw the other horse.
From this situation the Noble Earl was extricated by
the prompt assistance of the bystanders. A servant
was immediately dispatched to the Palace, and the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY'S carriage returned for the
Earl, who very generously left a sovereign to be di-
vided among some labouring persons who had assisted
him. The harness was obliged to be cut to pieces be-
fore the horses could be gut up, and the carriage was
left on the spot until fresh horses were sent for.
Thursday night, as an old man was passing the
Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, he was accosted
near the Regent's Canal Bridge by three bargemen,
who demanded his money. The old man told them
Ire had but one shilling and two farthings. They,
however, with horrid imprecations, proceeded to search
him, threatening, if he deceived them, to throw him
into the ditch. Finding, however, his story true, they
took the shilling, and leaving him the farthings, suf-
fered him to depart.
Monday se'nnight, Cornelius Quin, a private in the
84th Regiment, went into the shop of Mr. BUDGIE,
shoemaker, in Market-street, Dock, and carried off
seven odd boots: on finding himself pursued by the
owner, he turned and knocked him down; Mr. BUDGE,
however, succeeded in recovering two of the boots,
and the others were shortly after found in the pri-
soner's possession at the Barracks, where he was ap-
prehended, and has been committed to the County Jail.
The Proprietors of the Dartmoor rail-road have
sustained a very severe loss (little short of £5,000),
arising out of an error in taking the levels in the
original survey. The work upon the new line is pro-
ceeding rapidly, to the satisfaction of all parties.
A friend has obligingly favoured us with the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from Paris, dated the 12th
November :—(Morning Herald.)
" I have this moment heard of the following event,
which is to be deeply lamented:
" Yesterday, as the Duke de Bourdeaux was out
airing, an attempt was made to murder him, by a
fellow, who escaped. He placed himself in the Bois
de Boulogne, with a new pistol, fixed between the
prongs of a fork to aid his levelling, and fired at the
avant domestigue, or pigueur. This man was ob-
structed by obstacles in the road, and hailed by the
fellow to halt, or he would be shot. The fellow fired,
and shot the horse, but missed the man. The man
who fired ran away, leaving his pistol, hat, and fork.
The carriage was far behind."

chester, the Court confirmed a conviction, finding

locks on that Canal.

The weather proved favourable, and there was a very nume-
rous assemblage of Sportsmen present,who seemed highly pleased
with the amusements of the day. 'Die white bitch Fly 'hewed
uncommon bottom and spirit, and appeared, at one time, to be
the favourite of the field.
A short time ago two Gentkmcn of Dumfries, fond of the
amusement of Coursing, penetrated a little way into Annandale,
followed by two excellent greyhounds which were held in leash
by a little boy, ready to he untied on the hist emergency. In
their way to the grounds which were selected as the scene
of the morning's diver inn, the party started, rather unex-
pectedly, a very large hare, which bounded away before
them over bent and furze, moss and heather, in excellent style,
inspiring a pleasure which none but sportsmen can adequately
feel. With all her fleetness, poor puss had not proceeded far be-
fore she attracted the notice of the captive greyhounds, whicb,
darting away with a sudden spring, fairly overt' helmed their tiny
keeper, and left him sprawling in the mud, at a respectful distance.
The Gentlemen of course banned this cross-accident, and seemed
satisfied that the dog', harnessed as they were, might raise all
the hares in the district without being able to harm one of them.
But on gaining the rising ground, they were agreeably surprised
to find that the sagacious animals, in place of pulling different
ways, had so tinted their running, that they were visibly gaining
on the hare in spite of the collars which held their necks in du..
ranee, and the long cord or chain that dragged at their heels. The
chase was a pretty long one, and, in endeavouting to escape from
the dogs, the exhausted.quadruped made many a turn and double ;
but here, too, the greyhounds evinced their sagacity, and al-
though they once fell backwards into a ditch, they extricated
themselves so quickly that they soon killed the poor hare, after
one of the finest runs ever witnessed.
