DU:MAORI IN IRELAND.

Icraoat ILIMERICSC cwrionicia OF SATURDAY.)
Oa miseenay night, at half-past ten o'clock, seven men,
well armed, set fire to the house of James Sheehy, of Fitha, '
near Rildinio, in the Barony of Kenry, part of the estate li
of the Earl of Limerick, which was totally consumed, to.-
gather with a vast quantity of dairy utensils and furniture—
two horses and a cow were ,burned to death. They then
proceeded to the house of P. Madigan, of same place, and
fastening the door outside, for the...purpose of burning the
inhabitants, set fire to it, which was totally cansunied,t with
the furniture, and a largest= of money, which he had to piy
his rent, upon the house being set fire to, Madigan made a
desperate exertion, broke through the door, and extri-
cated himself and family—he then made off, naked,
through the corcasses, when the ruffians fired at him.
They also set fire to a barn of Madigan's, in which was
a horse and calf, which were consumed. Not content
with this, these villains set fire to the house of a poor
;man, named John Leahy, which, together with all his
furniture, was consumed. This barony is now nearly
in as desperate a state as any part of the County of
Cork.
Sheehy was only that day put into possession of a farm
adjoining, the property of Thomas Jackson, Esq , who
forgave the out-going tenant a year's rent—bat the Rock
system, it appears, will not allow the real landlord to
have dominion over hie property.
The house, and two ont-offices belonging to the Medi-
/ans. on the estate of Sir Ralph Gore, in the same di-
rection, were also maliciously consumed on Wednesday
night. In the offices were a two-year old heifer, one
yearling, and a horse.
On Thursday morning, the insurgents consumed two
houses, a rick of hay, and a quantity of furniture and
dairy utensils, belonging to Richard hi. Parcel!, Esq, on
the lands of Fort, Barony of Upper Connelloc, in this
County.
On Thursday night, the house and offices of Crean,
within two miles of Newcastle, the former residence of
the Rev. %Yui. Ache, jun. were maliciously set on fire in
different places, and the greater part thereof consumed,
together with some furniture and valuable papers, the
property of the Rev. Wm. Ashe,
About the hour entree o'clock yesterday morning the of-
fices of Mr. O'Brien, et Knoeklong, in this county, were a
third time maliciously set on fire, and a very valuable dwel-
ling-house, which had been saved by the activity of Cap-
tain Dumas and his police, on the last occasion, was totally
consumed before the police could render any assistance.
On Sunday night, a party of insurgents went to a farm
of Mr. Henry Potter's, on the lands of Ahanish, and
burned to the ground two excellent farmhouses. They
kept the herdsman, his wife and children, inside, until
be saw the ridging on fire—at length finding entreaty
useless, and the house about to fall in, he called out,
that he might as well be killed as burned, and that he
would endeavour to save the lives of his children; and,
on opening the door, he saw the party going off.

QUEEN'S PLATE COMMITTEIL—A Correspondent who
remembers that a Subscription was Instituted, and carried
on with great success, to purchase a Service of Plate for
our departed and much lamented Queen, takes occasion
to ask, What has become of the Money ? A very great
injury, he observes, is done to laudable subscriptions, by
keeping in the dark the cash that has been collected.
Mr. Owste.—At a Public Meeting held in Dublin, on
Saturdaylast, Mr. Owen finished the explanation of the
outlines of the System which he recommended for the re-
lief of the Irish peasantry,end of the working classes ge-
nerally; and bad intended, in the out instance, to call a
meeting of the friends to Via practical part of the plan, to
considesAbehem mode of carrying it into general opera-
tion, with a view more particularly to give immediate
employment to all who now require it in the South and
West Districts. lie was, however, prevented from adopt-
ing this course, from the desire which those Gentlemen
who opposed the system had expressed to be allowed to
state their objections more at length on another day.—
To this he has assented ; and a meeting for this purpose
was proposed to be held at the Rotunda to-day.
Another magnificent vessel, of the same dimensions as
the Prime Regent, is to be laid down on the same slip as
that handful ship was launched from a few days since at
Chatham. It is to lie called the Royal George. The old
Royal George, being found unserviceable, is broken up at
Plymouth.—{Kentish Garotte.)
On Thursday, at a Meeting of the Clergy of the Arch-
diocese of Dublin and Diocese of (ilandelough, it was
unanimously resolved to petition Parliament against the
Tithe Bills lately proposed, and a petition was accord-
ingly drawn up and signed, requesting that Coansel
should be beard at the liar of the House of Commons
against the Bills.
An account has just been laid before Parliament of
the number of appeals dm ided in each Session, from
May 1813, to the present time • from which it appears
that of 291 Scotch appeals, 62, or about a fifth, have
been reversed, and al remitted ; of 20 English appeals,
four (exactly one-filth) were reversed; of 53 Irish ap-
peals, 20 have been reversed, being considerably more
than one-third.
Deuay-Lases.—Lest night Mr. KEAN and Mr. Youwe re-
sumed their respective parts of Leuaatms Post/minas and
litelsimo, in the Play of Cosbefiar. The merits of these
two thicketed performers have already been scanned when
their unrivalled powers were before displayed in this piece ;
we shall therefore content ourselves with remarking that
each played In his original style of excellence. Mrs. W.
Warr, as Integra, displayed all these gentle graces for
which she is so conspicaeus; never have we seen this part
more pleasingly supported.
AICICANDOTTL—As it was doubtful whether this
Lady had really entreat into the Hymeneal hands, we
' have to state, that a letter has been received frosts Mr.
Grant, the Minister of Banff, who performed the cere-
mony. The worthy Minister contradicts toe report, that
he had received a Hundred guineas " for his trouble,"
declaring that he "neither received nor expected fee or
reward," and aiding, " 1 ion otherwise paid for doing
my duty. I never consider that ditty as a trouble, and
am always and equally ready to dirk at the cab of the
Peer or the Peasant."
The Cabriolets were, in honour of his Majesty's birth-
day, introduced to the public yesterday morning. The
Cabriolets are built to hold two persons besides the
driver (whole partitioned off from his company), and are
furnished with a book of fares fur the use of toe public,
to prevent the passibility of imposition ; these books will
be found in a pocket bung inside of the head of the Ca-
briolet. The drivers are selected from gentlemen's ser-
vants only who bate produced good characters from their
'last places for sobriety and civility, and are dressed in a
plain stable livery ; and who will be discharged fur any
incivility or fraud. The fares are one-third less thin
hackney-coaches. They had a private rehearsal the pre-
rediag day, and were found to answer all the purposes
intended.
Hoerino IN a Sace.—Yesterday morning between
six and seven, James Kendrick, a journeyman butcher,
tied up in a sack, with only his head out, undertook for
a wager of one sovereign, to hop round Qaems-square, a
distance of three furlongs, in toe short space of 13 mi-
nutes, which arduous task, to the astonishment of all
present, he performed us I l minutes anti a half, although
he fell down twice by the way, and bad much dilficutty
each time ie gettiag up, on arc:mud of his hands.teing
iitelmed- within the sack. Although the performance
took piste at an early boar, the concourse of spectators
was.immense, owing to the novelty of the undertaking.
At starting beta were 4 to "against him.

BRISTOL CRAMISER or COMMIVICI:.—We can now congra-
tulate our fellow-citizens upon the complete organization of
this Society ; and can assure them that It has lost no time
in wetting into active operation. The consideration of the
important Warehousing Bill of Mr. Wallace immediately
claimed its attention ; and communications with our re-
spective Corporate Bodies, and with our Members io Par-
liament, have taken place ; with what success the follow-
ing letter, addressed to a respectable firm in oar city, will
show :
" London, April 17, 1823:
" Gehtlemen—l have had the honour •f receiving this
morning, the letter of the Owners and °raspier, of Bonded
Warehouses in the city of Bristol. directing my attention to
certain clauses in Mr. Wallace's Warehousing Bill, which IS
now before the House of Commons.
" L beg you will nssure those gentlemen that my attention
has been particularly exercised in regulating this part of
the Bill for their ada antage. . .

" The clauses, as they will stand in the Bill on the third
reading, are now so worded, that it will not be necessary
for warehouses of special security to be surronn.ied with
walls • and I am assured that all strong and substantial
warehouses. that have already the privilege of bonding,
will have little difficulty in being recognized by warrants
from the 'Creamy, of special security, unless there is some
strong and very apparent reason for the refusal.
" it will not be possible to obtain the insertion of a clause
into Mr. Wallace's Hill recognizing all warehouses as of
special security, which now enjoy the privilege of receiving
bonded goods.
" In what I have written, I have endeavoured to give a
I candid and faithful statemont of the lotentions of the Govern-
meld, as well as of the /effects of Mr. Wallace's intended
Bill in the Bonded Warehouses of Bristol.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
" Your faithfal and obedient servant.
