OUTRAOF.S IN THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
LIMERICK, OCTOBER i.

Ballinvirick, the residence of MICHAEL WHITE,
Esq. was attacked on Thursday night, at the early
hour of eight o'clock, by a very large party, all well
armed. Mr.WisiTE had but one man servant in the
house. They first attacked the door with a sledge,
and required him to hand out hii arms, particulariz-
ing the number and kind he had, and as accurately
as possible, with a promise of their being returned
after k• few nights. Mr. WHITE refused to do so, on
which they succeeded in breaking one of the iron
bars of a window in the hall, by which a great num-
ber entered. Being so much outnumbered, Mr.
WatrE put out the 4ights and• took his station at the
winding of the stairs, and declared his determination.
to have the life of the first person who should ascend
them. They remained for some time in the hall,..and
after a lon:, consultation, retired without arms, or
even being allowed the satisfaction to search for them.
Friday night, between the hours of nine attd ten
o'clock, a banditti attacked the house ofJAMES RAY.
NIOND, Esq. of Hollywood, in this county, and suc-
ceeded in taking ofr two guns, and a blunderbuss.
Mr. RAYMOND was in Kerry, and being apprised of
his absence, they attacked the front and rear of the
house at the same time, breaking all the windows;
but not being able to force an entry at the lower part,
they climbed to a window on the second floor, which
they dashed in, and by which means accomplished
their object.
The same party also attacked the house of THOS.
BROWN FITZGERALD, Lig. of Ballinvirick, and in like
manner obtained fire-arms.

The housci of THOMAS FURLONG, Esq. at Drom-
colliher, and Captain Ronetur ODELL, near the Grove,
were attacked for fire-arms on Saturday night, and
the banditti beat off.

Several houses in the village of Ballingarry were
searched on Sunday night for fire-arms.
The house of RICHARD J. STEVELLY, Esq. of Clan-
duff, in this county, was attacked on Saturday by a
numerous band of ruffians, who succeeded in obtain-
ing seven stand of fire-arms. They were, however,
sent back the next night in perfect repair.
In the middle of the day, on Wednesday, a gang
of armed fellows, with their faces blackened, entered
Camass, the residence of JOHN J. SULLIVAN, Esq.
but were disappointed in obtaining fire-arms, which
Mr. SULLIVAN removed a short time before.

The arms taken from Sir AUBREY DE VERB HUNT,
Bart. at Currah, have been returned to Sir AUBREY'S
brother-in-law, Mr. Rica, M.P.
After' the party took the arms from Mr. Namt's
lions; they proceeded to the house of a respectable
firmer, of the nanle of WALLis, a tenant of Mr. MA-
sos's, of Glenbrook, from whom they took a gun.
Monday night, about twelve o'clock, Mr. )Itur.-
WOOD'S premises at Courtbrack were attacked by a
number of men, who surrounded the lodge at the
gate, and after threatening the people inside, and de-
siring them not to attempt to stir out, 'proceeded to
strip the lead off the roof, a quantity of which they
carried away. This is the third time Mr. MiLtwoon's
place has been robbed of lead, and once his house en-
tered in search of arms.

A part of the military came up with a banditti
last night, in the neighbourhood of Newcastle, upon
whom they fired; one of them has been killed, and
several wounded ; one man has been brought in pri-
soner to the Bi idewell of Rathkeale.

The yeomanry corps of Colonel CROSBIE and Cap-
tain LESLIR nightly patrol the roads between Tar-
bert and Listowel, which prevents any outrages
whatever being perpetrated in these districts.
RIOT AT THE RACE CounsE.—.on Saturday, from
ten to one o'clock at noon, a great number of persons
were seen on the different roads convenient to Lime-
rick, all seemingly approaching towards the Race
Course of Newcastle, and armed with guns, blunder-
busses, pistols, swords, &c. Such as had the curio-
city to ask where they were proceeding, or what was
theii object in appearing in so illegal a manner,

EN-Prt44.

ceived only impertinent ansv ers, and the warriors
swan ecred on, with an ur confidence iu them-
seives, and imliffurence towards the observers, some
of whom were of rank, and well known to them as
posses,:ng aiahority. It was, however, soon ascer-
taked that two factions were to meet at the races, to
decide some of their differences, and they chose the
use of fire4irms har that purpose, in preference to the
native weapon. Immediately after the first heat was
over, a signal shot was fired by one party, and in an
instant there was a general rush towards the tents to
meet the opposite faction; shots were fired without
number, and the screechings and maniac exhibitions
of some of those deluded people were-really horrible.
The peaceable spectators were obliged to fly in all
directions, and the assailing party being more nu-
mei ons than their opponents, compelled the latter to
red: e, and leave the others victors in the field. In the
morning, while the forebodings of mischief were re-
peated in every ear, the Mayer called upon Colonel
Douot.as, Commander of Limerick garrison, and
apprised him of what was likely to occur, and de-
sired him to devise the necessary measures to fe-
press any disturbance that might arise therefrom.—
The Colonel thought the more prudent way was to
proceed himself to the ground with a dragoon, and
if he saw a necessity for military. aid, then to send
in to the Mayor. The Colonel was but a Very short
time oil the course when the war-whoop was sounded,
and he imtantly dispatched the cliagoon to town. A
party of the Gth Carhineers, under Major CAR-
MICHAEL, with as little delay as possible, proceeded
with the Mayor and one ofthe City Sheriffs; on reach.
ing the gate of the race-ground the dragoons drew up
in line, and showed a front towards the rioters, who
had previously retired to an adjoining hid, distant
about half a mile. Instead of retiring on. view of the
military, they set up -a shout, and fired several shots,
in triumph and contempt. As there was then no
fighting, the object to he attained was the taking of
the arms with which they were supplied, and for this
purpose the Mayor ordered the dragooni into two
divisions, one of which, with the Sheriff, proceeded
across the hill to the back road by I.lfonceen'; and
the other, with the High Constable, in a contrary di-
rection, by the road leading to I3allysimon. In a short
time both parties came round the'hill, and the- rioters
fled in alt directions; some throwing away their arms
into potatoe fields and dykes, whilst others had the
temerity to fire upon their pursuers front behind the
hedges. The dragoons, however, cut such of them
down as came within their reach. There were three
prisoners arrested and conveyed to jail with some fire-
arms. One of the dragoon's horses received a ball
in the belly, and died next day. A party of the 79th
Ifoot, with Alderman Warsos.-, were on the race-
ground, which they occupied in absence of the dra-
goons; had they been able to fillow, measures would
have been taken to prevent the escape of an indivi-
dual. The Civil Authorities were particulars, active,
and the aid they received from some of the City High
Constables, particularly Mr. 13EsSoe, was very ores
ditable. Major VEltpC ER, Mr. WA L LER, Mr. ORMIS3V,
and other Gentlemen, who knew the country, leaped
their horses over every impediment' in pursuit of the
rioters, and the dragoons not being able to follow
those Gentlemen, were many times in imminent
danger of being shot, as the villains were then firing
front the ditches ; fortunately, however, no injury
was sustained. Informations, which arc capital, have
been taken by the Mayor against those in custody,
and a full identity of their persons is made.

ORANGE PROCESSION AT EANDON.
Our Readers are already aware of the horrible re-
sults which followed the public parading of a pre-
cession of Orangemen, at Bandon, on the 2d of July
last (the first of July being Sunday. the prozession
was postponed until the second). One man was killed,
and a-woman, -fir advanced in pregnancy, sl.t4
through the heart! At the preent Assizes of Cork,
two of the Orangemen weie indicted fir the mur-
ders; but owing to the circumstance of the riot and
tumult being general, the capital charge could not
be supported, and they were found guilty of Men-
slaughter only. Monday these men were brought up
to receive sentence, when Baron SMITH, who presided,
delivered the following judgment ;—" You have been
tried for an offence, a more lerious one than which
can scarcely be conceived ; if the verdict which
has been returned implied a certainty of your
inno-
cence, this would be -a certainty in which I should
find it difficult to concur. Bin in convicting you of
manslaughter, the Jury, adopting the opinion of the
Court upon the law, merely expressed a doubt upon
the proofs whether the case amounted to an unques-
tionable murder ? The sentence of the Court is, that
you and each of you be burned in the hand, impri-
soned for one year, find security for your future good
behaviour for seven years.a-your,_elves each in £lOO,
and two sureties. in 4.:.5.0 each ; and that then, and not
till then, you be discharged."

y. ,b.ThE KING IN IRELAND."

The writer of an interesting article, under this
title, in Mr. COLBURS'S New Monthly Magazine,
after taking notice of the parties who alternately
misgoverned and disturbed Ireland, at the moment
of his MAJESTY'S arrival, proceeds to present us with
the following anticipation of the future. The events
which have even already supervened make it almost
a prophecy :
" It requires bat little skill to foresee that their sus-
pension of hostilities, or rather their sudden and mira-
culous unanimity, is not to be calculated on for any
great duration.' The interests of some, and the per-
. tonal affection of others, for the King, produced the
demonstration ; but it is at best only the mala sarta,
amicitia: If a stranger to Ireland requires any proof
of this, he will find it in the hollow and heartless ac-
clamations which have hailed the arrival of some of
the King's attendants. If there ever was a measure
which before temporarily united the opposing fac-
tions, it was the measure of the Union. They poured
upon it their unanimous execration, denounced it as
a calamity which laid their independence in the dust,
and through each succeeding year have held it up
as the bane of their prosperity, and the annihilation'
of their name. And yet. in twenty years after it
passed—even in that very city which it had chiefly
prostrated, whose mansions it had untenanted, whose
merchants it.had impoverished, whose streets it had
depopulated, and whose splendour, as the seat of
legislation, it had eclipsed for ever—even there, the
reviled author of that measure was so hailed by the
plaudits of radical consistency, that if he did not
altogether supersede the Sovereign, he may, at least,
now with truth exclaim—
, Divisum imperium clam Jove—habui r—
oe It is scarcely possible to conceive this adulation
to be sincere, and its offering is tin omen of no auspi-
cious import. When a people I come either so
desperate, or so shameless, as to fling off the prin-
ciples of which they have been violent in the profes-
sion, and transform all at once the object of their
denunciations into the god of their idolatry ; how-
ever it may expose themselves, it most assuredly
cannot impose upon the world. It manifestly re-
duces them to this dilemma, either that their cla-
mour has been ill founded, or that their devotion is
insincere ; and in either case, their claim upon re-
spect or credulity is the same. Such violent conver-
sions in politics are-seldom pure, and quite as seldom
permanent. It is scarcely possible to believe, that
the men who are bending the pliant knee upon the
pier of Dunleary, are the same men who, in 1812,
made Clarendon-street Chapel ring with the witchery
resolutions. Yet their personal identity is certain—
but the object Of their caprices is transformed:
power has touched it with an Ithuriel spear, and de-
formity has become divine.
" However, Sir, even confiding in, which I do not,
the superlative raptures which have arisen from the
Royal visit, it appears to me impossible that all their
prospective visions can be realized. Ireland may
have been flattered by the King's attention, but the
King cannot have been informed by such a journey.
It is not amid the parade of a triumphal entry, or at
corporation shews and college dinners, that the wants
and interests of such a country are to be learned.
Dublin, all beauty without, and all poverty within—
like the statue in Lucian, with its polished surface of
Parian splendour and its interior filled with rags and
wretchedness, is but a deceitful specimen of the state
of Leland, particularly when she is blazing in the
transient rays of an imparted Court, and peopled
with the train of foreign Ambassadors. To know
Ireland, the Monarch should have gone unattended
through its Provinces—he should have seen its g de-
setted villages'—its roofless manufactories—its ship-
less lirdbours--its ragged, dispirited, discouraged
peasanery, surrendering to the agent of some ab-
sentee landlord the worthless pittance which the
tithe-proctor had spared, and taking refuge from
thought in eternal intoxication; he should have seen
the adverse bigots, waging their impious battle over
the polluted altars of a common faith—he should
hare gone into the crowded prisons and into the
continual barracks, and cursed thi instruments, and
wept over the victims of coercion—he should have
asked whether the stations under him, from the
highest to the lowest, were distributed according to
merit, or interest, or corruption—he should have in-
qtsired why it was, that all the names of which the
country can be proud—the Burkes, the Goldsmiths,
the Moores, with a long train of etceteras 'in arts,
and arms, and politics, have been obliged to mi-
grate hit() distant lands, leaving the honours and
emoluments of their own to those who have less spirit
and inure subserviency. He should have done this
to know even something
.of Ireland—and, when all.
this knowledge was acquired, amply sufficient would
then remain behind to satisfy curiosity during the
next promised triennial visitation. If the Royal
affection for Ireland is as sincere as it appears to be,
and indeed there can be no reason to doubt it, these
inquiries once acted on would produce to the coun-
try results the most beneficial, and to the King him-
self reflections the most delightful. " Kum:ores."

RELIEF OF THE GREEKS—A letter from Stutgard,
dated October 6, says,
The Association for the relief of the Greeks has
_Oven notice that several young men have applied to
it for support, depending on or recommended by M.
Danneberg, in Hamburgh, and by Baron Dalberg ;
that many of them removed from their homes and
their professions, had no means of subsistence, nor
emu sufficient money to take them to their own
•
country. The Society therefore is induced to state,
that it has no connection whatever with M. Danne-
berg or Baron Dalberg, and can pay no regard to
their recommendations. The Society likewise repeats
its declaration, that it has not invited anybody either
to go to Greece or to appear at Stutgard in person.
and therefore no person can make any claims on it
upon the ground of having been called upon by the
Society.
'The Society has, however, the satisfaction of an-
uouncing-to its friends, and to all those who are in-
termted m the cause of the unfortunate Greeks, that
its efforts become more and more successful, and that
it has the joyful prospect of attaining the object
which it could legally and reasontibly propose."
