Since writing the above we have received the fo:low-
ivy from otir'Newcastle Correspondent •
"On Thursday eight, some of shove daring ruffians,
Whose sightly depredations reflect snch disgrace upon
contitry, set fire to the out-offices of Kiversdale-
house, the property of Mrs. Raymond, which 'aged with
such rapidity, that, in a short time, jhe whole beautiful
and extensive concern was, with the exception of the
dwelling-house alone, consumed to ashes, acd four va-
luable horses, several cows, a large quantity of oat., po-
tatoes, turf, farming utensils, several hogsheads of cider,
and many ether valuable articles totally ilestroyed, toge-
ther with two farm-houses contiguous thereto. ,Toe sante
sight no less than ten fires were perceptible in the above
part of the county Kerry.
" On Captain Crotty, of the 39th Regiment, stationed-
at Abbeyfeale, being apprised of the tire by one of his
patrol, be instantly repaired to the spot, with a strong
guard. who .assisted in saving some effects."—(Chrob.)
It is remarkable that in a' district of six hundred
square miles (between Listowel and Kaaturk, Newcas-
tle and Castle Island), there is not one resident Ma-
gistrate.
The dwelling-house and barn of James Waltho, weaver,
on the lands of Kossgill, three miles from Newpott. -
county Tipperary, were maliciously set on fire, yesterday
morning, about one o'clock'. The greater part of the
furniture, and weaving machine, is destroyed ; also some
oats and potatoes which were in-the barn.
Wednesday last, W. W. Becher. Esq. M.P. arrived
here from Mallow on his way to attend Parliament. He
reports that several fires were seen in the county Cork, on
Tuesday night, in confirmation of which we have received
the followiog from a valuable Correspondent at Cherie-
rifle dated yesterday:—
