The indignation of all England as been excited, and truly
so, by the press, with the horrible murder of the Marrs and
the WiMansions; but thew murders are not exceeded by one
committed a few months ago in the county of Dublin, and
within twelve miles of the district of the metropolis. The facts
of the case areas folipw A. servant of a gent I-man in Glos-
ter-street of high chalkier, had a child at nurse with an iodine
Ifloll poor (amity, paths Common, near Willymore-Eustare ;
and the poor woman larslng row tolTublin for her wages, ther?
hying one year and a half due, 101. was paid. After being at
home about ten days, their cabin was attacked in the !light I
the pour woman being forgone with child, the husband defend.
ed the cabin to the last against t e gang of inurdererc. lie re-
sisted them ontside PO violently that they retreated to 'a spot of
ground, thither he followed them and continued resistance while
he was able to stand on his feet ; be at length sunk on his knee,
and iu this posture he defended himself with such deteriniteti re-
solntion that it had buried itself six inchts in the earth ; when at
length from weakness and loin of blood he sunk 'older the un-
merciful bands of the murderers 4 not content with this they cut
his throat and dragged hint back to thevabin. %Vitae some of
the party were engaged in murdering the Imsliaud, the
remoireler were envied in murdering his wilr.—They cut her
?'t net, and also thethroat of a poor beggarwoman who took
retitle for the night. Their next object was to rob the cabin,
and one of the gar in rummaging, stumbled over a child of seven
rears old, on which be hid his face, inquiries( familiarly, Betty,
do you know me 1 She, dreading the fate or the rest, replied,
no; no which he asked, Where does your mammy hide her mo-
gey I—The child could not satisfy the robber, hot they took care
to empty the house of all that was valuable. Hem was a mur-
der, as atrocious as that which aroused all England, and
n.) nutier taken of it. Here was a murder within 2t) miles of
the capital of Ireland, and no exertion made to discover the
perpetrators of this diabolical business-- no reward offered by
the Privy Council, drelialice, or the County I!!

Norrixon.tw, Jaw, 3.—The alarm excited in
Derbyshire, .by the numerous burglaries and ' other
outrages connuitted there within. the last fourteen or
twenty days, has not subsided, and the utmost acti-
vity prevails among those whose property is consider-
ed in any danger, as well as among the Civil and
Military Authorities iti general. Whether the de-
predators consist of that body of men, which has
laidy been concerted in frame-breaking, or of other
.I.speradoes, who have taken advantage of the confu-
sion into which this part of the country has been
hurled, by the practices of the former, remains at
present unascertained • in either case, however, our
surprise is less excited at the depredations, than
4sr indignation at the depredators ; for crime ad-
vances by as regular a progress, as does the noxious
weed in the garden, Vitt is not timely eradicated.—
in addition to_ the burglaries committed in Derby-
shire, as named in our last, we have to record one of
;A serious nature, which was 'perpetrated in the house
of Mr. Topham, in South Wingfield Park, on the 25th
4 December, at night. The robbers entered in disguise,
aNI demanded to examine Mr. Topham's frames ; and
.4 hem they had gained adnaittance, under that pretence,
t 'iry I ikew ise demanded his cash,whkh they took away
t,i the amountntabont etl. as also the parish books,
he being overseer of. 10 poor. In our own neigh-
bourhood, it is a ith much pleasure we have to state,
that the outrages we:lly diminish in number, though
not in magnitude. On Friday evening a valuable
plain silk frame was broken in a house ,near the
Meadow Platte, in this town, belonging to all emi-
nent hosier, which stood between two others of a
like description, the property of another gentleman,
and they remained untouched. The windows of Mr.
Trentham, an eminent manufacturer, in this town,
bare been twice assailed within these few days by
brickbats and stones; and the depredators have not
l't been discovered, though a handsome reward
been offered.
An article from Vienna, of the 18th of December,
states, that the Imperial Printing-office had been
shut for several days ; that the men worked day and
sight, and were guarded brsoldiers. "rhe 'isrored
