' Murmur returned to the boards of Drury Lane last night,
for the hat season, according to the terrific information of
the play-bills. We hope they will not be more admrate in this
instance,thaninsome other of their statements; for we really
shudder to think of the retirement of this soul of whim and
feeling. We saw nothing in his performance of last
night, to indicate any intention of nature to play false with
him so soon; and we will therefore hope that the present
campaign will affect him as little as the last; and that
he will please us, and profit himself for years to come.—
The play was rag as usual, with the exception of Miss
BooTu, in Sophia,; in which she was admirably effective;
and the piece went off with the greatest eclat.

degree to the close of the trial, by the confrontatiotrof the

Extract of a latter from. Ennskilles." .•• A very dis-
graceful outrage uccurred here on Friday last; the following
are the facts as I have been able to collect them :—The
Orangemen of several Ledges in this neighbourhood
received notices to attend their Masters and Commanders
at the Fair of Enniskillen, and to arm themselves, to a--
tack the Papists, and to commence the battle when the'
Magistrates should have retined from the Fair, to spare,
neither sage nor sex.' the Earl of Enniskillen bad
notice of the intended breads of the peace, and on this
as on every ether occasion which he is called on to exercise'
his Magisterial functions, discharged his ditty as an up-
right and impartial alagistrate, Several other Magistrates
attended with the same I oulable intention—namely Richard
Dane, Esq.; John Armstrong,. Esq; -- Jones, Esq.
and other*. These Magistrates cuoceived that the bee&
mode of preserving the peace was to deprive all suspicion/
persons of their arms, and with this view seized on rvery
person carrying a stick. and took it from him. By three'
means the Papists (if they had formed and premeditated ,
design to be the agressars) lost their arms. While the '
Magistrates continued it the Fair, no disturbance took
place; but the moment they retired, the Orangemen coal;
mooted the attack, amt a desperate
"riot ensued, in which.
several persons were severely beaten. •
A short lima eitime Mr. Loder.steward to Lord Doneraile.'
while walking la the Demesne, was way-laid by a ruffian,
who ordered him to stand, and presenting a bionderbuss at
hien, demanding ask, a• former order of tiener.l nook's,,
regulating the quantity of potato garden uhich should bp',
men given to his Lordelda's 'abdo had not been attendoel'l
to. The Steward replied thot Its received no no:ice or'
litter of the kind, on whits the fellow paused for a short
time and said, that if. be. (the Steward) pledged biuseelf
' that he did not get the order. sad promised to keep the
present occurrence secret. he would spare his life. 'fo this
as might be naturally expected. to get oat ui the fangs of
the villain. he cossented, and the fellokr went off, remark-
ing at the same time, that, he. wii about to execute -a
similar mission in another pert of the eonntry. His Lori
ship and the Gentlemen of the neighbourhood have come
forward and liberally subscribed for the apprehension of
the parties coocerneel.
About nine o'clock on Sunday night last, a party of the
Incendiaries pet fire to the produce of an acre of %sheet,
the property of a man named James Began, near Castleeor;
the wheat hail been in stooks, but appeared to have been
collected into two heaps before it was conannied. The
motive assigned for this outrage is, that the last tenant
bed bees ejected. and the present possessor, by tok:ng the
grounds, bad offended szainst the arrangements of those
nocturnal legislators. Mr. Crossley, jun. Chief Con
stable, and a party of mounted Police. arrived on the
spot about an hour after the corn was set fire to, but too
late to discover the perpetrators of this flagitious out.
rage.
On the same night a party of Whiteboys, one of whom
appeared to act as a leader, having • white scarf round
his bat, visited the blest of Mr. non, near Two Put Mate,
between Mallow and Buttevant. .They threatened to burn
his property, and murder bin and his family, if lie dill not
discharge two persona who were in his employm .nt, and
if he did not settle hie tithes in a, particular way which
they pointed out.
Crams( sh.oc c. S.—On-Monday last, about twelve o'..lock
at noon. a brutal attack was made on two men tamed Hard-
lag (father and son), and a man named Smyth, who employ-
ed them as keepers on the lands -of tiiant's grave not two
miles north west of Chrome:l, by three felioes, two
of them armed with pistols. who beat them in a savage
manner with the butt-ends of the pistols and with stones.
After knocking Smyth down, they put bins On -his knees.
sad swore hint, on pain of dreadful punishment. never to
bring keepers on the Mods again ; after which they
gave him severali very severe blows on the head and ribs,
and inflicted such dangerous wounds on the head of young
Harding, that lie was speechless fur several hours.
Dr. Fitzgerald,a Magistrate, having heard of the outrage,
hurried to the spot, bringing with him the Police stationed
in Gloom,' ; but though the most diligent search was
made by these men under his command, no trace of the.
assailants could be found. Young Harding was brought
in here un a litter, with little hopes of recovery—but on
enquiry yesterday we ascertaine.l that he bad ree .vered
the use of his speech, and that be was better.—(.ldeer-
tiser.)
Ltsienicc, OCT. B.—On Wednesday night list, at eight
o'clock, a party of insurgent+ set fire to a large horn, on the
lands of Ballinachera, in this County. The only trason
that can be assigned for this outrage is, "hat the proprietor
, (Carroll Nash, Esq. of Ballyeallin) suppressed an intention
of drawing to it, on the following day, the rorn of some
defaulting tenants. The Police of Newbeidge and Askeaton,
seeing the fire. repaired to the spot, bat too late to extin-
guish the flames.
On Saturday night. a quantity of hay was maliciously
set on tire anti consumed, on the %MIS of Booms; near
Newport. Co. Tipperary, the property of Philip Ryan.
Two cows were hougbed. and a third shockingly man-
gled, on Wednesday night, in the neighbourhood of Kildv
sart, County Clare. The land, held by a man named
Chambers, is at present under ejectment, and the cattle
were placed on the ground by the Landlord.
