OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

Friday week a most sanguinary and savage murder
was committed at Broomhill, in the immediate vicinity
of kilt u-h, on the person of John Galvin, whom (with
another person, whom they thought they had mur-
dered and left for dead, but who, we are happy to say,
i, likely to live to pro.eeute them to conviction) a mob
of mit.creants waylaid and beat to death. The ruffians,
when they had done the work, went in a body to the
hon-e of their victim's father, exultingly boasted of
what they had been doing, and desired him to go and
bring home his son. Six persons have been fully com-
mitted to Ennis gaol for the above offence, under a
warrant from the Coroner, who held an Inquest on the
body of Galvin.
A few days ago three men, named Forrester, Berry,
and Mahon, met in a public-house, near Nephin, and
a' ter drinking a quantity of whiskey, Berry and Mahon
'accused Forrester of giving information of nightly
rnt viols in that neighbourhood. Forrester had not
time to make a reply, when one of them struck him on
the temple with a smith's poker; he then ran out to the
Len house and fell dead. Berry and Malkin absconded.
An [wrest was held on the body, and a verdict of
Wilful Murder" found against Berry and Mahon.
A young Gentleman of the name of Bradley, when
returning from the Chapel of Cloonacool, on Christmas-
day, was assaulted by a number of ruffians, who, with-
out any cau.e, heat him in a most desperate manner.
Sanday sennight, a man was waylaid and inhumanly murdered,
near Piereetown, barony of Moyeashel.

Friday last, Mr. Mutates O'CONNELL was taken
into custody, in the neighb-urhood of Tralee, And upon
being brought before the Provost, was bound weer to
keep the peace for one year, to Mr. UTNE, himself in
one thousand pounds. and two sureties, Mr. THOMAS
FITZSIMON. and Mr. JOHN Patantose., in 500& each.
Mr. COLEMAN, Purser. R.N. was the only English
person who perished in the less oldie Honourable East
India Company's transport, Lotus.
POISON.—An unfortunate mistake has lately caused
the death of a most estimable man, M. Brielman, a
surgeon at Lille, in Flanders. Having occasion to
t..ke a mucilaginous drink, the person who was desired
to make it, by mistake, instead of gum arabic, dissolved
a paper of arsenic, which M. Brielman took. Before
he had swallowed the whole of the contents, the effects
of the poison discovered them-elves, and he died in
spite of every effort to save him.

Saturday, at Shiplake, near Reading, Captain Mr.
THULN and Mr. HARTING-I.os, were beating a turnip
field for game, when a hare got up, and the Captain
discharged his gun, the contents of which entered the
lead of Mt. HARTINGTON, who was covered be
two hedges. Tile wounded Gentleman fe and he
was conveyed back to Shiplake with no hopes of recovery.
A boat belonging to the Island of Arran was lost a
tea, days ago on the Connemara coast. The crew,
consisting of three persons, unfortunately perished.
At Cheltenham, last week, James Watkins was fined
3 . and costs for being in a state of intoxication; he made
aq eloquent appeal to-the Bench in mitigation of damu-
r,e,, founded upon tie ha. dship he had widergone in

Air. Ramage, the optician, of Aberdeen, has arrived

Observatory, where it is to be -exhibited to men of
science, in a short time. Its size is much smaller than
:le great reflecting telescopeof Herschel ; but its power
h, we understand, considerably greater. The machinery
llerschers telescope is extremely complicated, and
'quires the strength of two men to regulate its move-
ments. All the motions in Ramage's telescope are pro-

on almost as easily as a three feet acromatic telescope.
