'et the that!, Donlan, hie wife, *nor Children. As mother..
in-law, a woman named Mary Dowd, and her son, Joha
Dowd. The ratio, stith what property it contained and
almost ell their clothes, was entirely consumed. For.
innately no lives were lost.
On Friday night, between the bones of eleVen and
twelve o'cloik, a man named Patrick Healy. who resides
at Ballymese, near Tallagb, was alarmed hy discovering
that his house was on fire. On going out he toned that
the bark part oldie thatch was in flames; he immedi4tely

ney, and having heard some shots fired in the direction
of Healfe house, repaired there ; they foand it on fire,
bat arrived too late to save it from being entirely cone.
sumed, or to detect any of the persons concerned in the
outrage. Peace Officer Waters, and hie party, remained
there until day-break, when they returned to

bending any one.
Healy's house had been attacked by a party of men sa
the preceding Friday night, between the Lours of tea
and eleven o'clock. This gang consisted of a great num-
ber; they 'were armed with guns and other weapons;
they broke into the house on this occasion. and assaulted
Healy, violently, beating him about the head with goon
and sticks, telling him to give tap Divine's land, or thri

Trent, and joined to Holly's farm, for the purpose of
veering their farms, whilst at the same time two acres
and a half were taken from Healy's farm, and added to
Divi ne's.

On Fndav night, Peace Officer Flanigan, of the Ifee4
Office of Police, in consequence of information received
at that Office, proceeded to Blessingtown, where he pro.
cured the asaistanre of a party of Major Tandy's Police,
who are stationed there; accompanied by this party ks
proceeded about six miles farther. to a place called the
Cross of the Black Ditches, where they arrived betwent
the hours of one and two o'clock on Saturday morning,
and soak into custody a man mimed Patrick Keats,
whh was in bed at the time, and who is charged as
being present at the time when the outrage was
committed on M'Kean and his wife, the particulars
of which we gave in our Publication of Saturday.—
Peace Officer Flanigan brought his prisoner to the Had
Office of Police, where he has been identified-by Al'Keon.
as the man who said to James Kilbride, " its time we
should be going," and as the man who was called "Cap.
tain," by the rest of the party. He has been fully coin.
milted to Kilmainham gaol, to abide his trial at the
ensuing Commission, on a charge of having assaulted
John M'Keon, and of having aided and assisted James
Kilbride in violating the person of Hannah M'K►oo.
PIEVENTSLI.—On Saturday morning, about the
hour of five o'clock, Peace Officer Abbott, in COMP.
quence of information which he hall received, repaired
with a party of Police to the Fifteen Acres in the
Phosnix -Park, where a Mr. James C—k, anil a Mr.
Edward B--n, both professional gentlemen (of the
law) had met on an affair of honour. Oa the arnval of
the Police, they immediately quitted the ground.

Basra or ingLAND.—According to the accounts pr..
seated to the House of Commons respecting this Corp.
ration, there is a remarkable difference in its manage-
ment from that of the Bank of England. S nce the
passing of Peel's Bill, the amount of its Notes in circu-
lation has increased instead of having diminished. Tha
largest quantity of paper (on the average of a half yea)
which it had in cir:ulation, was in the half year ended
January 1, 1815, which nas 41,528 011 la. Id. The
circulation in the year ended January 1,1819, was nearly
the same—viz. 14.477,019 21. sd. In the latter hall-
year of 1819, and in the first half-year o: 1820, the aver-
age diminished to ..£4,096296, and-£3 838,476. Since
which time they have been considerably higher than at
any former time. Half-year ended January 1, 1t321,
£4,732,656—Ju1y 1, 1821, £5,214,337 —Jan. I, 1822,
£5,175,724 —July 1, 1822, £5,224,167—Jan. 1, 1823,
£5,011,193.
The average balances in the hands of the Bank of
land, from the Treasury, Chancery, and Exchequer, in
last year, was 457,7551. 18s. ; in the Accounts wnh the
various Offices connected with the Government, 160,5621.
16s. Bd.; on Uncial/71-d Dividends, 141,9191. 11a.91.
No charge is made to the public for the management of
the Public Debt, or any other public services. Three ac-
counts appear altogether creditable to the Bank in cosi-
tion, both for skill end dae confidence in the man-
agement of its issue, and in maderation 'towards the
public.
Its issues were, in the half-year ending January, 1797,
only 733,7631. 3s. IJ.
Yesterday afternoon a Coroner's Inquest was held at the
Coach and Horses, High-street, Whiteebspel, on the body

street, by a saddle horse taking fright at two boys throwing
their hats at each other. The poor woman was killed on tie
spot. Verdict—Accidental Death. Soon after the verdict,
she was buried in the Jews' ri.-rtal-rrountl, Mile-end-resd,
attended.by a great number el the Jewish persuasion. rot

bps left four young children behind.

a trifle di arer. Barley remains unaltered. Bouts sell
heavily. Orts find Buyers nearly on the sane terms u
