" LIP( ERICK. OCT. 15, 1821.
" Richard Going, Req. late Chief Magistrate of Polite
in this County, was killed yesterday evening; on his way
from this towel° Rathkeal ,e about four o'clock in lb.
evening, within about a wile of the latter place—there
were five balls lodged in his body. Our country is in a
most. dreadful state of disorganization."
A Privy Cowen is summoned to meet thls day, for
the purpose of agreeing to such measures As it may
be expedient to adept, in order to bring the perpetra-
tors of this dreadful crime to condign punishment, and

to consider also the general state of the comity.
The account of this unfortunate event reached this
city yesterday morning. There are no other' particu-
lars known but what are given in the abuts extract.
Mr. Going was on his way to the house of at'frierito,
dinner, at the time of this horrible assassinatidn. We
shall, in all likelihood, learn the full. pa:titillate in
the course of this day.--(Dublin.4lorstiki Post,Oct.l7.)
Extract of a private letter, dated Rathkerle, (Coun-
ty of Limerick,) Oct. 14, to a gentleman in London :
" We are here in the utmost consternation. Mr. Go-
ing, who has been the Chief of our County Limerick
Police, has been murdered in the most shocking tea--
ner. He had been removed from his command within
the last weelsrin consequence of inefficiency, and re-
placed by Major Stuart. Mr. Going this day rode into
the country &s he had been accustomed to do,' and on
his return was shot dead between two and three o'clock
in the day This town is .now in a state of the ut-
most alarm. All the arms that were in the possession
of out country gentlemen have been taken by nightly
bands, and nearly ?.00/. worth of powder has been
bought nadtdistributed in this county atnonget the dis-
, turbeis. I send you this information, which will
probabty be the first received in London. My Wi-
ther has just returned from viewing the body of
poor Going. He was shot within one mile and a
half of this town, and under circumstanced of pecu-
liar barbarity. lie receive.' nearly fifteen musket
balk, and had his thigh shattered by slugs. lam
satiable to describe the state we are reduced to.
sleep every night with a brace of pistols loaded at
my bed's side, and a Queen Ann sabre. Going went
yesterday to Limerick, and dined (9n his return here.
last night) with Mr.Wallcr, from whose house he was
literally dragged, this morning, to the fatal spot. lies
murderers were dressed in white shirts over their
clothes."

Livatteoot. AND CuF sTea.--The amazing increase
of the commerce and population of Liverpool is the
subject of general astonislanent ; and the mom espe-
cially, when we contrast the present prosperity of that
port, with its former poverty. In illustration .of this
tt e give give the following historical fact:—ln 1648.
the Mayor of Chester was required by the Privy Coun-
cil to furnish an account of all ships, barges, Ste., be-
longing to the port of Chester, in the dependencies
on which Liverpool was inclpded. The return made
was:—

No of
vessels.

Dependent Ports :
Liverpool and its creeks . 24 . 462 .
Reaumaris and its creeks . 3 . 34 . 9
Carnarvon and its creeks . 2 . 26 .. •• 6
It will appear from this, that the vessels of -Chester
were of greater harden than those of Liverpool, the
former averaging 25 tons, the latter only 20. In the
first instance, the Mayor of Liverpool refused to sanc-
tion the dependency of that port on Chester, bt was
eventually compelled to submit. Look at the difference
now !--(Lieerpool Advertiser.)
There belong to the port of Alloa, at present, 143
vessels, 14,1b1 register tons, which employ about 1:100

men.
At Falkirk Tryst on Tuesday se'neight, the show

We rejoice to hear that the average prices of grain
are still declining. Those for the week ending on %-
Undoy last were as follows:—Wheat, Ols. 4d. (a fail
within a fortnight of 9s. 3d.); Rye, 28s. 4d.; liati,y,
334. 51; Oats, 21s. 11d. ; Beans, 335. 341.; Peas, 31s. 6.1.
CORN•EXCHANGE, OCT. I9.—We continue to receive
large supplies of Wheat., but there was no improveruens,
in the demand, for only the finest and driest sampl4.4
meet buyers, all the interior sorts are only nominal in
value.—The arrivals of Barley this week have been v.ev
large; yet, having more buyers to.day than on Montlay
there was a mnch brisker demand for, it, at an advancr
of Is. per quarter from Monday's prices.--Oats are I.
per quarter cheaper, and dull sale, in consequence of th,.
magnitude of the supply.—ln other articles there is n,,
alteration.
