DARING OUTRAGE.

Mr. Quin, before the adjournment of the Court,
begged leave to notice the daring outrage, of which
a must unprincipled mob had been guilty on the
evening of Thursday, in breaking many of the win.
dows of the peaceable inhabitants resident in Fleet.

Mr. JOSEPH LA NCASTER.ThOiStIiIy was a joy.
ous day to the pupils of the above worthy charac-
ter. Al the children in the habit of attending his
school, were feasted with plum-pudding, &c. and
medals and other distinguishing marks of favour,
awarded to his scholars, according to their re.,
spective merits. It is with pleasure we notice that
Mr. L.'s excellent plan of education meets With so
much encouragement as gettable him, individually, to
diffuse learning among so many hundreds of poor
children, and that the bigotted and erroneous opi.
nions respecting the expediency of keeping the poor
in ignorance, are opposed and refuted by the royal
and munificent patronage Mr. Lancaster has expe-
rienced. In addition to Jubilee Medals, &c. an ap-
propriate Hymn on the occasion was given to each
of the scholars, which was composed by Mr. Whit.
church, and all the Monitors of the school had a
new suit of clothes presented them. , . .

Tee parents or friends of the scholars had a cir.
cular letter sent them on Wednesday, announcing
that it was intended, on account of the due observ-
ance of the Jubilee, that the boys and girls attend.
ing the sellout should have walked in procession (for
which purpose wands and banners, with appro.
priate mottos had been prepared); but as that
amiable and pious friend of pour children, the Prio-
cess Amelia, was on the point of death, and the
the Royal Family on that sad occasion in deep af-
fliction, it would nut become him and the children
of his school to be exulting with joy, when the
friends of the. poor, and patrons of his system of
education, were in deep sorrow; and therefore,
that the day, which would otherwise have resounded
with joy, would only be celebrated in silent glad-
ness, and all synthetical demonstrations of joy be
laid aside. We understand near a thousand chil.
dren were presett.
On Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, one
of the sentinels on duty in the Queen's garden, at
the back of the Queen's Palace, heard a man ap.
proaching him from the shrubbery. lie challenged
him four times, and receiving no answer, he was
proceeding to level his musket to .shoot him, when
the man fortunately spoke. The sentinel detained
him until the patrole Caine round to inspect the sen.
tinels, and they took charge of him to the Queen's
guard-house, where he said he bad not the least
knowledge how he came into the garden ; he had
some faint recollection of getting over the wall and
hurting his face ; in corroboration of Olt his face
was very much cut ataseratched. The account he
gave of himself was, that lie was in the employ of
a jeweller in the neighbourhood of Red Lion.squarc ;
that he had beets to dine at a christening at Battersea,
where he had drank too freely; so much so, that
he recollected nothing but passing through the Five
Fields. Yesterday morning he was taken before
Colonel Be It NA ev, of the King's Guard, where his
employers attended and gave him a must excellent
character. Nothing of a suspicious nature being
found upon him, he was discharged.
Extract of a letter from Charleville On
Monday night last, about the hour of twelve, the
house of Denis Connell, of Kilholatie, was furi-
ously attacked by a number of those deluded leis-
creant•;, calling themselves white boys ; who, not
content with bre4:ing his dour and windows to
pieces, tired at him, and lodged a ball in his thigh :
the poor mats, notwithstanding this severe wound,
and the great loss of blood, fought bJ well, that
he prevento the wretches irons enteriug the house.
The unfortunate man was next day conveyed to
Ch.trleville, and the ball (though in the most dan-
gerous part of the thigh) was extracted by the great
skill and dexterity of Surgeon FITZMAU RICE, of
that town, under whiise care he now lies daugcr.
ously ill. The only reason assigned for this out.
regc is, that Connell, the day 'select:, employed
some Kerry-men to dig his potatucs. Scarce a
night passes that some lawless act of this future
does not occur in this neighbourhood."
