WEXFORD, FEB. 4.--EXTRAORDINARY !+-A subject old,
rather an extraordinary nature teems here to engross the •
principal share of public attention. The ciretutosteates.
as far as we have been able to collect, are as follow:—A
few years ago our Theatre, in which so Noy alterations of
scenes have taken pine', was fated to undergo an entire
and final alteration itself, and, as some would beliefs, to
reverse the change mentioned in scripture—from a des of
thieves to a house of prayer. The individual appoiatted:
about three years ago, to the ministry, in connection .vsiSla
the Reverend Mr. Cooper, of Dublin, entered upon his let
Wars under very favourable auspices. If he had not-tho
good fortune to make many converts, be bad at leaat.the
gratification to preach to nunteroets cosigregatiove who
seemed to hold the preacher, or his mainly, oritire'doc-
trine, or his style, or it may be all these pecaliarities toge- •
ther, in the highest estimation. Metter* continued so foe
some time, but lo! " the last scene of all," as if by ategiei,t
was still more woaderful than any that preceded it. •TM
congregation, which used to be so numerous,
Vanished like the baseless fabric of a vtilM. •
•• - • And leg Ind sLr behing I"
Latterly not more than six solitary individuals could be
mustered in the Chapel, and a few days ago the preacher
and his congregation were obliged " to bide theiq dimi-
nished beads"—(oh! that we understood. the ocirmee of
Phrenology D—io some more secpre retreat ; the doors qt
the Chapel having been closed against them. by autloojty.
The reader, no doubt, is ready to exclaim, " In the 'lament
wonder what was the cause ,'f so navel and extraer.diunirg
a proceeding ?" We will tell 'him :—the Preachetc,4 Sea
Boat,') had become a complete 'Radical in theplogyr An •
discovered, day after day, defects in the Clir4an
which had escaped the observation of less acute,

among the portions of it which he thought proper to die-

elect was almost miraculous—the Neerbcr was initially
deserted by all but his six disciples! leading hiw lilje ,
"A rose of the wilderness tell ou Its stalk,
To show where a garden had been." •
We are deeply concerned to state, that an atrocious mut.•
der was perpetrated on Saturday night last, at or pear
Whitestown, in this county, a short distance to the west of
Curraehmore, the seat of the Marquess of IVaterford. We •
have not yet learned the particulars of the horrid occur-
rence, nor the result of the inquest held on the body; but
we understand that the hapless victim was au industrious •
man, who had lately taken a farm (on which he had oot
Fet gone to reside) belonging to Richard Duckett, Esti, of
fratnore, and from which the ocenpants, though lar;fely in
arrear, had been suffered to deprt with all their stocii,
produce, &c. The Magistrates and gentry of that neigh-
bourhood know their duty too well to require any exhoo.-
Lion from us to induce them to make head, with prottillti-
tude and energy, against the lawless and frightful spirit
from which this atrocity seems to have emanated.—gra-

it is completely illegal. The peasants cabin is, theoretically'•
at least, his castle. and as such equally secured by the Con.
stitution against military intrusion as the mansion of the
Peer, and no power whatever which is not sanctiimed by
information against an inmate, or bj a warrant of search

manding it to be opened in the dead hour of night,,except
the district be governed by the Insurrection Aa, or in the

Extract of a letter from William Smith, Esq. Chief of Po-
lice in the barony of L3wer Counelloe, in 014 County, to the
Police Magistrates:— " Ratbkeale, Feb, 1, 1524.
" I proceeded yesterday to Whiskey Halt, with that most
valuable Magistrate, the very Rev. George Vincent. to ascer-
tain the particulars of the buroisg of George Snlith'sliouse.
as reported to you in my last. On my arrival there, Smith's
house and family exhibited a spectacle of most savage barba-
rity. On Thursday night, about 9 o'clock, the family was pre-
paring for bed, when they were alarmed by the barking of ti-e
dog, on which Smith's brother and a man named Bennett, ran
out with pitchforks is their hands, and found all silent; after
some time they came in, and in about an hour went to bed, and
the whole family had fallen asleep. About 19 o'clock the bro-
ther was awoke with the crackling of the burning straw, end
he saw the roof on fire at both ends of the house; he imme-
diately gave the alarm, and they had only 'time to snatch the
little children up asked, and leave them ma the road. Newt
they attempted to get out the cow, but she, from the tgight.
became immovable, and all their exertion could not force her
ont*; Mts. Smith was at this time inside, twitching for one of
the children, when the roof fell in over the kitc4en, and she

who with spades, forced in the apartment where she iges, ai4l
diagged her out. They were then all naked on the road, for
they had not time to put ea the few parts of their 'dress *it
they caught up in their bands as they were escaping ;. and,the
Ineffectual struggle they had with the am, preteoted them
from saving any particle of their property, so that they Bream
destitute of either food or raiment. I saw one of the Iltde
children carried about in a big for wantof clothes Waiver it.
The cow was nearly horned to &cinder.; they have got as teach
as a potatoes but was d•atroved."—(Limer#ek Gliscrect.)
