A Privy Council was held at the Castle of Dublin
on Wednesday, at which the state of the county of
Limerick formed the subject of deliberation. A Pro-
clamation, offering a reward of Two Thousand Pounds
for the discovery of the murderers of Mr.GoiNo, Was
issued; and orders wete dispatched by Government
to Sir JOHN LAMBERT, who has the chief command
of the military power in the south, to send a com-
petent force to the disturbed districts, for the purpose
of assisting the civil authority in the preservation of
the peace. At the end of last week, a strong de-
tachment of Artillery marched from Woolwich, un-
der the command of Major GARDINER, for Holy-
head, where they are to embark for Dublin. This
force will probably be directed towards suppressing
the evil spirit which now prevails in the county of
Limerick, and which claims imperatively the instant
attention of his Majesty's Government.
DISORDERS AMONG THE PEASANTRY OF MAYO.
MAYO, OCTOBER 16.
We are concerned to hear that the spirit of infa-
tuation, which has seized upon the minds of the
people in other counties, appears to have taken pos-
session of some amongst ourselves. We have autho-
rity, which we cannot question, for stating, that ille-
gal oaths have been administered to a lamentable ex-
tent in this county, and that marauding parties have
been recently in pursuit of fire arms, and in some
cases have succeeded in their object, not many miles
from this town. We do not make this statement for
the purpose of creating alarm, but rather in order to
put people upon their guard, and that timely mean;
may be taken to check the evil. We feel mote of regret
than fear upon the occasion. We know that the delu-
sion must vanish, but we shudder to contemplate the
miseries it may entail upon its votaries. A meeting of
the Magistrates of this county is called for Sunday
next. Probably their deliberations may refer to the
subject of this short article.—Mayo Constitution.

COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
Limerick, October I7.—Fuur o'Cluck.
Mr. GOING'S remains have just reached town, under
military escort, on its way for interment in the family
vault at Kilnara, near Newport, county Tipperary.--
The procession is attended by a vast concourse of
most respectable Gentlemen from the surrounding
counties, and a numerous train of tenantry. Mr.
GOING has left a numerous young family. His wi-
dow is peculiarly the object of commiseration ; her
respectable father, the late Mr. DOOLEN, of the King's
County, was also assassinated in the year 1798 by a
gang of rebels.
Threatening and inflammatory notices were, on
Saturday, posted up in the neighbourhood of Danes-
fort, directing the Gentry to past with such servants
and labourers as are obnoxious to all would-be legis-
lators.
Major Srewaar very properly sent a detach-
ment of the Police and had the notices torn down.
A notice was posted at Court-bridge on Tuesday
morning, commanding all adults to the age of sixty
years, under pain of death, to attend in the parish of
Kildimo next day (Wednesday) on tythe business.
Monday evening, about six o'clock, asJouNlVaLstr,
one of the Adare Corps of Yeomanry, was returning
to his house, which is but a very short distance from
that village, he was way-laid by a number of men,
and most barbarously murdered. He was a very in-
offensive man, and much regarded in the Corps. He
has left a wife and sevep children.

Cum, Elena/40e, MARX-tAlelt, OCT. 22.—Notwithstanding the
extraordinarily large supplies of Wheat during the last four
weeks, and the impossibility of effecting sales of any but the
finest samples, there is no cessation of arrivals, having had up.
wards of 17,600 quarters fresh in last week, and a considerable
supply this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, for which
there is but little demand : prime dry samples obtained Last
Monday's prices, but all other sorts were exceedingly heavy sale,
and although offered from 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower, yet they
cannot be got off at that abatement : the quantity now here being
so immenwly great, and the demand so trifling, the major part
must remain on band some time, as the consumption is quite In,.
adequate to take it off. Barley is 2s. per quarter lower than on
this day week, but Is. higher than on Wednesday. Beans and
Oats ate 4s. per quarter cheaper, and eitremely dull sale at that
abatement.—Current prices as v '

There's a Spirit above, and a Spirit below ;
A Spirit of bliss, and a Spirit of semi
The Spirit below is the Writ of Noe,
Hot the Spirit above is a Spfrit Divine!

Friday, the Bishop of LONDON held a Confirma-
tion at the General Penitentiary, Millbank, when,
after a very eloquent and forcible address from the
Bishop, two hundred prisoners, male and female, in
that truly philanthropic Institution, were admitted to

that solemn rite.
-Sermons are now preaching every Sunday after-
soon, to the Fishermen, on the beach, at Brighton.
The survey now making of the extensive Diocese
of Chester by the exemplary BISHOP, in person, is of
the most minute description: every Church and
Chapel of Ease is visited—the state of the building,
charities, &c. are particularly noticed; so that, in
.addition to its being of present importance, as con-
nected with that venerable establishment, it will
hereafter become of incalculable value as 'a general
Parish Record. It is his Lordship's intention to pro-
ceed with the Lancashire Parishes.
INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCE.—A British vessel, with
the Bishop of QUEBEC on board, touched formerly
at an island in possession of the French, and princi-
pally inhabited by savages. The Bishop being missed
for several hours, a party of sailors went up the island
in search of him. In their progress they met with a
• savage, and inquired of him whether, from their de-
.scription, he knew anything of the Bishop of QuEsee?
Si je le connois? jen as mange." Know him? said
he—l've cat him !
A neat marble Tablet, with an appropriate In-
scription, has been erected in Trinity Church, Cam-
bridge, to the memory of the late ltev. HENRY MAP-
TYN, Fellow of St. John's College, and Chaplain; in
the East Indies, to the East India Company. This
lamented Clergyman translated the New Testament
into the Hindoostanee and Persian languages.
The Equestrian Statue of his late MAJESTY, King
GEORGE 111. may shortly be eipected to be added to
the ornaments of Liverpol. The spot on which it
is intended to be erected, in London-road, is now
being inclosed, to enable the workmen to proceed
without interruption.
Monday last the mother of the family of the Bar-
tons, and her daughter, both of whom had been some
time in Oxford City Jail on a charge of assaulting
the Police officers, were discharged by Proclamation.
On their entering into the house of Mrs. ltymill, the
• mother of Mrs. Barton, the poor old woman, ninety
years of age, was so much affected and alarmed
by their sudden appearance, that she fell back iu her
chair and instantly expired.
Sunday se'nnight, at Bethnal-Green Church, du-
ring Divine Service, Mr. J. Mri.ume, who had been
constant attendant for the last 30 years, suddenly
fell off his seat. He was taken out of the Church,
but the vital spark was extinct. The Rev. Mr. Co AM P•
NETS made some impressive remarks on the awful
event in the course of his Sermon.—Coroner's ver-
dict—Died by the Visitation of GOD.
Saturday an Inquest was held at the Bricklayer's
Arms, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body
of Mr. M. Turner, Groom of the Chambers to Mr.
COUTTi, the banker. J. Ileveus deposed that he was
porter to Mr. Coutts. On Tuesday night he let the
deceaied in, and asked if he would have a light,
which he declined, He followed him to the top of
the kitchen stairs, and saw that he had fallen, and
lay senseless at the bottom. He was intoxicated ;he
procured assistance, and laid him'on a bed. On the
following morning he appeared to be in a dying state;
a surgeon was sent for, and he expired soon after.
Verdict—Accidental Death.
A distressing circumstance occurred at the house
of Captain BULEECK, in Middle-street, Brighton,
on Thursday afternoon, the 18th inst. The servant-
girl went up to an attic, taking with her a child
of Captain B: s, a fine boy between three and four
years of age;• and while she was engaged in pitting
on her gown, the little fellow unperceived pushed up
the sash, and leaning out of the window, lost his
equilibriuln, and fell headlong into the street. The
skull of the unfortunate child was so dreadfully frac-
tured by the fall, that he survived only a few mi-
nutes. The parents of the infant have been ever since
almost in a state of distraction.
Friday afternoon, an attempt was made by six
felons, confined in the Old Bridewell, at Devizes, to,
effect their escape. Slanmore, a notorious horse-
stealer, and who, with his gang, has this summer
Stolen not less than 103 horses, was the ringleader of
the party. With an old knife, which was concealed
about his person when committed, he removed both
his fetters. The plot determined on was, however,
discovered about two o'clock, by one of the debtors.
In about a quarter of an hour longer it is likely they
Would all have escaped.

In the neighbourhood of Hamilton an experiment ,
was-made this year to try the difference between the
spade and the plough. A field was taken, which was
in beans last year, and oats the year before ; two
ridges were dug and two ploughed alternately, and
the whole was sown on the same day ; a part both on
the ploughed and dug being drilled with the garden
hoe ; the whole was reaped the same day, and being
thrashed out, the result was, that the dug sown broad-
oast- was to the ploughed sown broadcast as 55 to 42.
The dug and drilled was as 2O to upon the
ploughed and drilled. The additional grain is not
the only beaeficial result gained by digging,_ as in
this instance there was also a great deal more straw.
The land is free of weeds, and will be easier fallowed
pert year.
. ENORMOUS CARROT.—Last week Mr. G. Boors,
gardener, Mansfield, drew from his garden i carrot
of the following extraordinary weight and .dimes,
sions six pounds, and within four inches'
of the top (that not being the extremity of the girth),
it measured sixteen inches ! It censistvof six separate
branches, the centre one in particular being consider-
ably larget than any carrot almost ever seen. •
Mr. Mir-wow, of Weymouth, has in his garden a
pumpkin which weighs 47 pounds, and wait=
zouud foci feet four miles.
