DISTURBANCES` IN IRELAND.

?Rom THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF 0rc.14..
The latest arrivals from the South still afford a
melancholy picture of outrage and crime. Tithes
seeli to be the watchword of the deluded peasantry,
and the collectors are the objects of their vengeance.
Monday night, a large party attacked the house of
Dawn MULCAHY, within a mile of Clonmel, and de-
prived him of his musket. On the same evening,
about seven o'clock, E. BRYAN was stopped by a
party, at his own door, also in the vicinity of Clon-
mel, and to preveat mischief his brother gave them a
blunderbuss, with which they were satisfied. Three
other houses in the same neivhbourhood were at-
tacked and robbed of arms. Two men, residing at
Middletown, were cruelly beaten, as they had sent
their arms to Fethard for security. The houses of
Mr. LODGE and of Mr. MEADE, of Castle Blake, in
the vicinity of Cashel, have been deprived of their
arm'. Many other houses have been attacked inthis
disti ict, and the banditti were so well prepared with
arms, sledges, crows, and lighted fire, that scarcely
an} house could resist them.

Thursday nigh:, a man going from Clonmel to
Fethard, was stopped by the banditti, who, finding
he was not the person they wanted, allowed him to
pass, and declared they would give the tithe proctor
they were expecting, the death of the SHEAs before
long. Several armed parties were seen in the same
neighbourhood; they visited several houses, and
posted notices on the gates of the Chapels. Threaten-
ing notices have also been sent to several Magistrates
ough the Post-office.
The house of Mr. MlcirAer. DWYER, near Dun-
drum, in the Barony of Kilnemanogh, was attacked
by a strong party, who seized his arms. He ie-
monstrated with them on the unlawfulness of then
conduct, and, in return, they cruelly beat him and I
his father-in-law, Mt. M. CARROL. On the same
..I,4ht, the house of Mr. D. Dwyzit, Tithe Proctor, in
Barony of Clanwilliam, was attacked. He re-
sisted, but the banditti broke his is indows, and pro-
ceeded to but his when, to save the lives of
his family, he handed out such arms as he possessed.
It is said to i.e the ioteution of these bi igands to burn
every house and tamily when resistance is made, and,
in ciinsetpieiii.i., of the respectaale farmei s have
sent their arms to toe tows: of Tipperary.
Ira J.iy night, more than twelity houses were at-
t .e.ed at Kll4lcka.aoroher, in :he county of Lime-
i la, on the hot Jet •of Tipperary. The same night,
a number .4 h-uses were robbed of arms in the vici-
nity of Sitevnatria:i Mountain ; among which were,
Mr. LisNotis, Mr. AspEßs, It. HANIOAN'S, M.
DAt.rores, &c. As it was understood that the ban-
ditti weie to search for aims, on that night, several
farmers in that neighbourhood delivered up their
arms to the Magistrates, which saved them from the
!nal asiding parties.
In the Ci•un..s of Cork outrages still continue. On
Wednesday night the hoe e of Mr. WARD, a school-
master, situated near VI itchelstown. was searcheJ for
.11 ills by several tuffi ins, who swote hint to conceal
the cire,mstance. Thursday night the house of Mr.
M•Cairritv, of Knockane, ill the Parish of Drum-
cto_ tie. is as searched ; they got a pistol, and, atter a
minute earth, they found two pounds of gunpowder,
vk filch oe had procured for the purpose of blasting a
q.sait). 0.1 the saute night the haggard .4 the Rev.
Mi. GASH, situated between Macron;l and Ca.-
ryadol'hid, was set on fire, and ten stacks of grain
wets consumed.
By the arrivals this morning we have received ac-
counts of various outrages and robberies committed
in the ount or Limerick. In the neighbourhood of
Hospital Captain Rock braves every danger. Satin-
day night he posieti a notice at Patrick's-well Chapel,
ordering a reduction of 60 per cent. on all rents. He
.tiao threatened the High Sheriff for his officiousness,
aid, it i; said, that a man well dressed and mounted
was the sole actor.
Ia the course of last week five houses near Hos-
pital acre searched, and arms obtained. Those who
had not arms were obliged to contribute money.—
Sunday night two houses at Ballycahil were robbed.
It is stated, that the wrong diligence of the military
is unavailing against the perfect organization of the
banditti, who elude every attempt to seize them.
The neighbourhood of Welchestown, near Charle-
vibe, is a scene of continued disturbance, as scarcely
a night passes that bandittis do not patrol the roads
and attack the peaceable inhabitants. Saturday night,
500 insurgents paraded near Elmvale, and took fire-
arms from six farmers houses.
Monday uight, a number of armed men attacked
the house of M. FITZGERALD, of Ballyvarreen, near
Kildimo, and broke into it, when they destroyed all
his furniture, and left a notice with a man of his re-
sident in the house, to have FITZGERALD give up the
farm ; they afterwards killed two cows and a horse
belonging to FITZGERALD, supposed with a sledge,
as their skulls were all beat in. FITZGERALD only
took this farm last May.
Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, Lieutenant
MORRIS, and a party of the Ballylongford Corps,
proceeded te a farm in the neighbourhood of Bally-
bunion, to distrain some cattle, under warrant of a
Magistrate, and a report being circulated through the
fair of Tarbeit, that this party were attacked and
fired upon, soon reached Captain Roam LESLIE,
who, accompanied by WILLIAM LINDSAY, Esq. Mr.
KIITSON, and a party cf the Tarbert Infantry, set off
instantly to their assistance, when they met them at
Agee, returning, after beating off upwards of a thou-
sand people, armed Kith scythes, pitchforks, and
stones, killing two men, one woman, and wounding
several others.
The house of Mr. W. ORANGE, within a mile of
Castle Connell, was attacked by a very large armed
party, at night, about a week since, and a carbine
taken from him. He had previously received a notice
of a visit, and on application to a Magistrate, two
policemen were stationed in his house, but unfortu-
nately they were withdrawn only the day before
the attack.
Extract of a letter from a Magistrate in the neigh-
bourhood of Kilmallick :•••••44 Saturday night, the Ist
of December, the insurgents traversed Ihrra, Gar.
ryartbur, and Tully, for arms and money, and got
plenty of the latter horn the undefended farmers. On
the night of the 4.th, the inhabitants of Laurencetown,
Ballincrana, and Ballinamma, were also obliged to
contribute one, two, or three pounds, or have their
houses burned, their arms having teen taken five or
six weeks ago—the windows of Many broken, and
