COUNTY OF CORK.

On the night of Sunday, the 16th, a detachment
quartered at Newmarket, in scouring the country,
interrupted a party of marauders in the mountains,
and succeeded in taking one man, another it is said
was killed, and one mortally wounded. Mathew Con-
nell, a notorious offender, and a principal leader,
against whom informations were lodged, was seized
by Wm. ALLEN and GEORGIC Puacett, Esqrs. two
most active Magistrates. The ruffian was sent to the
County Jail.
On the same night that this man was apprehended,
Mr. ALLEN'S dairy-house, at Clashroe, was burned,
several of his cattle killed, and various other outrages
committed on his property. The laudable exertions
of this Gentleman to suppress the marauding parties
may be deemed the cause of their resentment.
