GIMMICK. WEDWZSDAT. Nov. 15.—Such was the
influence of the appeal of the Rev. Dr. Hogan to the
m,ral feelings of the multitude who attended his
Chapel on Sunday lasts that every countenance seemed
horror cricket at -.the awful terror* which the Laws
cirtod and man marked out for Such lawless and de-

prayed pursuits, and the greater number of the con-
• -greetion were .I:observed to remain in the Chapel, to
less the word of Ood anew, and implore 'his protec-
, lion and aid against the evil seductions of the present
times.

The Chief Peace Officer stationed at Castle Connell,

and all the detachments under his command, passed
through this eity, this day for Rathkeale ; and the en-
tire of the County Establishment were inspected in
that town by their Chief Magistrate, Richard Wil-.
(*eke, Esq. who assumed the command on Satotrday.

On Sunday night, a piquet of the 33d Regiment, in
patroling the roads in the neighbourhood of Butte-

but succeeded in taking six of them prisoners. They
were brought to the bai racks of that town, and under-
went an examination on Monday, before the Magis-

On Sunday, Cnptain Gunn and thirty of the 93d
Highlanders marched from hence for Bruff, to replace

At two o'clock, yesterday morning, Milford-house.
within one mile and a half of this city, on the Dublin
road, was visited by an armed banditti, who dashed
in the lowersashes of two windows, and with sledges
attempted to break the hall-door—the family being
aroused from sleep, the ruffians were asked what they
wanted ? They answered, tire-arms ;" and being in-
formed that there was but a fowling-piece in the house,
they required it in a peremptory manner. Mr. Mann-
sell not being prepared to resist them, the gun was
handed out. After consulting each other for ten
minutes. they returned and required more arms ; but
on Mrs. Mattnsell assuring them there were no more,
they retired 6ring shnti. The party was numerous;
those outside the hall exceeded thirty, well armed

Extract of a letter received at our office from a gen-
tleman residing at Killlynn parish, in this county :
An armed party, consisting of about thirty men,
most of whom were mounted, attacked the houses of
sic respectable farmers, and took their arms, to the
amount of eleven stand. From the route taken by the
barrlitti, after they had finished their depredations, it
is supposed they came front the West of the County.
In this opinion I am inclined to concur, from the peace-
able disposition and general good conduct of the inba-
bitunta of this parish. lam confident that the peace of
this immediate neighbourhood would be fully preserved,
were a few eekkiegt.Or policemen stationed in the village
of Ballyorgan. The village of liallyorgan is situated
close to the high road to Fermoy, seven miles south of
Kilmalldile?"There is not a Magistrate, Policeman, or
Soldier, netieer than three miles."
On Sailaf night, nearly eighty men, uncommonly
well utosated. attacked the houses of John Speering,
Millet, sail William Davis, at Beabus, within a short dis-
tance of .%dare, in search of fire-arms, and succeeded in
• getting two guns. The villains demolished the windows
and doors, and, on retiring fired several shots.
On Sunday night, a large party, supposed to he the
same, attacked the house of John Rose, Esq. at
iiratisrd, near Adm.,. and demanded his arms. Mr.
Rose said he would not give them but with his life.
They offered to leave his own double-barrelled gun,
provided he would give them a single gun and a blue-
deriniss, which they knew he had in his house. Oa
finding him determined to resist, they retired, after
firiWg two shots into the house, and breaking all the
windows and several of the doors.

The house ef Bartholomew Gibbingb, Esq. of Gib-
hingsgrove, was attacked un Sunday night last, by a
large party of marauders, who broke the WI-door
with a sledge and pick-axe, and fired several shots
into the windows. They were, however, most gal-
lantly repulsed, and driven off in great confusion,
leaving behind them a sledge, a pick-axe and spear,
antrblood was found in large drops near the Louse.
A brisk fire sae kept up from the I ouse by Mr. Gib-
bing, and his party, which must have done execution.
Contributions were levied by the party which at-
tacked Mr.'Orady, of Doringstown, on Sunday night,
(as stated is oar last,) on several houses where they did
not find arms, and they paraded in great numbers near
tile town of Ki!finnan.

Itallyhotietheidgb, in this County, was broken open, and

Ithretes, Michael M'Aulirs. Patrick Oleeson's, and
three others. whose- names we have not yet learned ;
from inch us had not arms, money was demanded to par-
chile ammunition : this, in some instances, was gladly ac-
Ceded to by the owners, and where the money was banded
to them to any extent, it was immediately returned by
the marauders, who stated, that in order to make the
coutrihntion equal, they had agreed that the demand
should not exceed a sovereign at every house.
