No Irish papers had ieached as to-day witait out
paper went to press, but it paper of this morning coin-,
uaunicates itiotber 'backlog instance of assassinaiiii
contained is the follOW'ing letter, dated the 3d instant,
from RathWeide, in the county of Limerick.
" Last night has added to the dreadful catalogue of
assassinations which disgtaces this county. There is
a Mr. Heywood, son4n-low to Colonel O'Dell, the
late Member, who lives it Hollywood, within a few
miles of this win; his house was attacked a short
time since, and all his itms taken away. He was
absent at the time, and on his return declared Wee
his servants, that if he hid beeiv-at home he woold I
have given up his arms only with his life. One tdi'l
the servants, whose name, ;it appears, was Marpbrc
told his master not to itouble himself, as hi (Illeepby)l
knew the whole party. TOO declaration of his beitiune '
public, and the consequenca wii, that a secret taboos'
sat upon the life of the ,unfortunate man, and
doomed him to assassinatioi. A party, sprinted
to execute this horrid sent ini* west last night to
Hollywood House, broke into it', took oat the wretched
man and shot him as if by sentence of a Court Martial.
There is no escaping their vengeance for the man who
is marked out a victim. We are in hoots that the Spe-
cial Commission, which sits in Limirack on the 14th,
will do some good. It is a nielanchtilk hope. There
are twenty-four wretches to be tried. the If reater part of
wbgin will probably be hanged 1 Three prisoners have
been brought in here this morning; 1 have not beard
for what crime."

MINISTICRIAL ARRANGSMINTS.—By the Brithou
Iteratd of this day. we learn that the 1/bar4onsa
Wellesley had arrived on Tnesdarat the Pavilion; and
left it yesterday morning; and by the Derby Mercury we
ascertain that on Wednesday last, Mr. Canning stopped
at Derby, on the road to the Marquess of Stafford's,
at Trentham. These movements indicate pretty plainly
how the affairs of the Cabinet are settled. It
is nianifest, that whatever was the office of-
fered to the latter gentleman, or whatever
the cause of his non-acceptance, he continues out of
place. It is asserted. that notwithstanding certain
personal objections to him in a certain quarter, which
might have been insurmountable in reference to a place
in the Cabinet, the highest situation in India, was pro-
posed to him. His acceptance of the offer it is said
was expected as a matter of course ; and under this
impression, it is reported that the King had written to
the Marquess of Hastings, toting, among other rea-
sons for his recal, the wish of his Majesty to possess
near his person some faithful friend in whom he could
confide. We state the rumour as it is related ; but
what the grounds of, it are we have not the means to
ascertain.
The Marquess Wellesley and Mr. Goulburn will set
off for Ireland in a few days. Mi. Wilmot, we under-
stand, is to succeed Mr. Goalburn, as Under Secretary
of State fur the Colonial Department. Mr. Clive retire
from the Home Department, and Mr. Dawson. the; bro-
ther-in-law of the Right Hon. R. Peel, is mentioned as
his successor.—(Courier.)
•It has been mentioned in several of the London
Papers that the King is about to honour our county
,vi.tk his presence, by visiting our noble Lord Lieute-
nant at Eastnor Castle. We apprehend that this
st. ,ientent is incorrect or at least premature. But a
co.. Itspondent assures us, that his Royal Highness
the Duke of Gloucester is expected at Eastnor Castle
in the resent week, and that nasty d&salogaiehed
persons in this and the adjoining counties are invited
to meet him.—(Hereford Journal.)
The Right Hon. George Canning, M.P., with his
Lady and daughter, passed through Derby this morn-
ing (Wednesday, sth instant) on their way to Tren-
tham, the seat of the Marquess of Stafford.—(Derby
Mercury.)
The Report of the return of the Marquess of Hast-
ings, which we copied yesterday from a Morning
Paper, is said not to he entitled to credit. A letter
written by the Noble Marquess. dated the 20th April
last, states, that his Lordship and family were all well,
and contains no allusion whatever to an intended re-
turn. Many of his Lordship's most intimate friends
give not the slightest credit to the report.
In two of the Morning Papers of yesterday it was
gravely stated, in so many words, that " four hundred
and seventy inches of rain fell in Exeter in November."
What! more than thirty-seven feet perpendicular ?
The distant friends of the Exonians must tremble for
the safety of their relatives and acquaintance, when
they learn the news. But let them be comforted ;
there is nothing in the case to disquiet them, ex-
cept a trifling error of the press. The compositor
who converted the figures into words was not ac-
quainted with the language of decimal fractions; bat
translated 4,70 inches, into four hundred and seventy
'lnches, instead of four inches, and seventy hundredth

parts!
A letter has been received in the City, by a highly
respectable mercantile house, dated Odessa, Nov. 6,
stating, that on the 16th of December, the Russian
authorities at that place would contract for 150,000
chests of Wheat and Flour, or 750,000 bushels.—
This is in consequence of • scarcity reported in the
Crimea. The export of Corn was also expected to be
prohibited.
A meeting of the Turkey Company took place on
Thursday, when dispatches from Constantinople were
laid before it. They reached London by way of Vi-
enna. They confirm the news of a war having
broken out between the Turks and Persians, and of
the latter having entered the dominions of the former.
It appears that a Persian Prince commanded in person
not less than 110,000 men. The most severe engage.
ment took place in the immediate vicinity of Bagdad.
Lady Cochrane was brought to bed, at seven o'clock
yesterday morning, of a girl, which, with its Noble
Mother, we are happy to find are as well as possible.
The Princess Augusta, during her stay abroad, spent
her time principally with the Queen of Wirtetnberg
and the Princess of Hesse Homburg : with the former
her Royal Highness stayed about six weeks. The
Ptincess did not go to Hanover.
r Amongst the applicantatipr relief at be Mendicity
10ffice yesterday was the brother in-law of Christophe,
late Emperor of Hayti !
In consequence of the small number of women (only
ten) permitted to go with the &teflon of Chards now
es their way to Ireland, a number of applications are
making, by their wives, for passes to their different
parishes. -*

TO WITRNIA TIGHE. Hut. M.P.
)
iireer lite relation, the immortal Grattan, well said
IrWbuidl4 never received kindness film the Government
fiiielailtreegh her fears, and that the conduct observed
'wattle **lrish people was, that at an ungracious step-
mother. These were bold trptbs that cannot be snook
by the ephemeral assertion' of. any milk and water
Irishman. Now you assert that the present disturbed
state of Ireland is not at allVfributable to misgovern-
ment. Was the read of Earilitswilliatn and the Duke
of &Mord from the Governiffent of Ireland. not owing to
their beteg too great favourites in that unfortunate
conetry, and did not their predecessors, and bare not
their sticeesors adopted different modes of rule? Has
there bean as Irish Chief Governor for the last thirty
years wife has attempted even a general system of cosi\
ciliation? Then, Sir. what can you call this but min,
rule? Itithimext place you deny the existence of as
Orange Party In the Government. How then did Harley,
the stone-cutter, now bead of the Police. an established
Oressgmums. do!e to propose an Orange toast under the
very nose Of* King last August, although the tultno-
aitious-of his Xajqsty were publicly declared to be con-
' dilialosY t or 'W.-dared the Alderman of SKINN6II'II
AWAIT repeat the Insult to the King, and the present
Mayo,. propeee•ius Oraage toast at the Michaelmas
illinqr, in tbeitiesence of Lord Talbot, the Head of the
Oevernaseet? Yoe deity that high rents and other ex.
manes oppresk the people ; sees such an assertion need
$ comment-? Yen state that the Clergy of the Established
Church of Ireland are not more illiberal than in Eng-
land. Whether yen meant this as a joke or a satire on
the cloth, 1 cannot divine, but I should think it would
not be received as a compliment by the townsmen on
either side of the water. In the principle of substi-
tuting annuities to the Clergy. in lieu of tythes, I, fully
agree. But from a knowledge, at least equal, if not
superior, to Mr. Tighe, I will insist that the chief dis-
turbances that have existed in the South of Ireland for
the last fifty years, were owing to the wicked and
wanton exactions of Tythes and Tytbe Farmers; but
much, no doubt, arises from misrule. What has Eng-
land ever (Waits serve Ireland? Nothing! What has
she done to oppress Ireland? Every thing! She has
been the cruel step-mother, the tyrannical oppressor, the
robber of her dearest rights, and briber of her traitorous
children, aa the continued prescriber of the musket,
the bayonet, skid the gallows. So much, Sir. for the
correctness ot year information. I hope. however, you
will in future be either silent on the subject, or speak
truths that are known to the most vulgar bog-trotter in
the country. I regret the disposition to break the peace
in the Counties of Limerick and Cork, but until the
causes of disturbance are removed, the consequences
must ever follow. An illillifillAN,

A Noble Lprd, whose estates in Ireland are let at a
rental of 25.0001. per annum, receives, it is said, only
5000/. This is one, among the many proofs, of the
evil arising from the employmeet of tii;clclle• men!

The wind was so high in the afternoon of Wednesday,
the 21st ult. as to overturn several stacks and ordinary
buildings in the neighbourhood of Diss. The sails
of the windmill belonging to Mr. St. Ellis, of Dies
Heywood, which bad been recently erected, were
blown off.
EDUCATION IN RUSAIA.—The Rev. Mr. Johnson, a
native of Scalesby, in Cumberland, is the head master of
the National School in London. When the Emperor of
Russia was in England, in ISI4, he visited that Esta-
blishment. Subsequently, his Imperial Majesty sent
four young gentlemen to be instructed in the system of
the institution, and having accomplished the purpose
of their mission, they returned to their native country.
On the 2d ult. the Rev. Mr. Johnson received the follow-
ing letter from Baron Nicolay, Secretary to Count
Lieven, the Russian Ambassador:—
" 36, Harley-street, Nov. '2, 1821.
" Ste-1 have to inform you, in the absence of his
Excellency, Count Lieven, thut his imperial Majesty
has been pleased to commai.d that a diamond ring should
be offered to you in his name, as a mark of his 31ajesty's
satisfaction, for your exertions in favour of the four
students who were sent to England in 1817, for the pur-
pose of studying the system of education adopted in the
National Central School. I therefore request you, Sir,
to have the goodness to call and see me on Tuesday
next, about twelve, if that day should suit your conve-
nience, in order that I may deliver to you the ring.
" 1 have the honour to remain. Sir,
" Your very obedient Servant.
" Rev. Mr. Johnson." " Baron NICOLIT."
Mr. Johnson accordingly waited upon the Baron,
who presented the Emperor's princely gift, in the most
handsome manner. The ring is worth 3001.
Tun CARLtuts.—Notwithstauding the recent severe
sentences on two members of this family, others have
been found to supply their places, and have been remov-
ed in due course by the rigour of the law. On the 3i
inst. the '• Society for the Suppression of Vice" obtain-
ed a warrant against G. Clarke, Carlile's 'booms!), for
the sale of a work. containing a foul libel on the King
and Government, by virtue of which he was apprehend-
ed, and taken before Mr. Justice Bayley, at his Lord-
ship's Chambers, from whence lie was committed to
Newgate for want of bail. The defendant behaved in
the most insolent manner in the presence of the Learned
Judge, and threatened an action against the Society for
a false arrest. Clarke bad scarcely been removed an
hour, before his place was taken by a young girl, named
Susannah Wright, who continued the sale of the same
obnoxious work, and an information being lodged
against her, she was also arrested, and will, this morn-
ing, be brought before Jude Best, to put in bail. The
trials of these defendants will come on during the next
sittings at Guildball.—(Coweier)
The following singular occurrence happened at Bland-
ford on Tuesday. As Mr. Snow's harriers were run-
Dins a bore on Mill Down, they took after a monkey,
which bad escaped from its place of confinement. After
being followe&by the dogs over most of the garden
walls, and entering the back premises of the houses in
Salisbury-street andllwanstone-street, the poor animal
was safely secured wit out injury, and the timid bare
i,
made a fortunate retreat.—(Dorchester Jonneal.)
The approaching great battle between icktnan
and Neate will, is is said, take plate in Ch ii Park,
near Uuagerford, the property of Fuller . en, Esq.
