rable burinesi. He is of a reputable family, and bad
never in the least been suspected of any dishonest
practices before an accidental discovery took hoe on
the day• of his apprehension. Several s
lately been broken open i■ the neighbour be
prisoner's residence, and ancoogst them that of Mr.
Tate, grocer, in Ohlham-street, as the. night of the
19th inst. No one slept on the premises.' They were
entered through the roof, is which a bole wes broken.
and's number of articles taken sway by she col-
lar trap-door. On the 22d last. a neighbour of Rat-
cliffe's being I. his bakehouse, happened by mere
accident to discover some grocery goods concealed in
it. This excited his suspicion, and be immediately
communicated the circumstance to Mr. Tate ; seve-
ral special constables of the neighbourhood west to
Ratcliffe's bakehouse, and locked him up le it whilst
they sent to Mr. Lavender, at tne Police Office, to
take hies to the New Bailey. Is the interval Ratcliffe
contrived to escape by climbing over a wall. An
alarm was given, and he was pursued. He was soon
stopped, having first being knocked down, with a
large stick, one of the neighbours pursuing him.—He •
was taken up to Mr. Tate's shop, and on searching
him, under his top coat was fused a belt tied round
his body, in which were placed two loaded pistols
and a dagger. And upon his person and premises
were also discovered a black leather cap. so contrived
as. when wanted, to cover the upper part of the face,
leaving holes for the eyes, a wig and common mask
to farther disguise the face, a dark lancets, and phos-
phorous bottles. and other articles suited for the most
diabolical purposes. A quantity of copper coin and
►arious grocery goods, taken from Mr. Tate's, were
also futind, and a great number of kettles, bruslxdo,
pans, and other household utensils. which had been
stoles from the shop of Mr. Mellor. a broker, in
threat A o cuat-it reet. The prisoner was this day broogli t
up fur examination before James Nutters, Esq. Me.
Roberts, in the employ of Mr. Tate, and Mr. Mellor,
proved that their respective shape had been robbed,
and that a quantity of stolen property had been found
on the prisoner's premises. Booth, of the Police Of-
fice swell, when he toak the prisoner into custody he ad-
mitted barb the robberies, and said his reason was be.
cause be wanted money to pay his rent. He had
been four or five times on the night of the rubbery
at Tate's shop. He was committed to the Sessions fur
trial. The dagger, which was 'hewn in the Court,
caused a degree of horror in every spectator. The
prisoner bad evidently bestowed a great degree of lA-
boar upon it: it was sharpened on each side and at the
point to such a degree, that either io cutting or thrust-
ing it would have been a most murderous weapon.

INDIA.
Extract of a letter from an Officer, dated July 44,
Is2l, Cusp Snmbhulpoor :—" Immediately after I was
appointed to the regiment, we were ordered to take Ai
field along with four other regiments (mallet together
_about 3.000. men), against a tribe of oatrageoes moos-
taineers. called Kooks, who hail made war upon their
p ble neighbours, Went their villages, murdered all
• the inhabitants, and plundered the whole of the country.
Thege depredators inhabit a mountainous tract of eons-
try, rennin through the centre of India, from east to'
west. We had to march upwards of six hundred miles
before we got to the point where the attack was to be
made: and this was during the worst season of the year
that men could be exposed in tents. The thermometer
stood every day in onr tent at 110 and II?, end on some.
days as high as 124; and when exposed to the sun at
noon, it generally stood between 150 and 160. We were
absent from our cantonment font months, during which
time we were obliged to stiffer many deprivations, be-
sides the heat of the weather, such as extreme bad moun-
tainous roads, bad water, and for days together none at
all. The mode of fighting we were obliged to adopt.
to subdue the enemy, was also very harassing to our
men. For three or four days after our arri►al in their
country, they gave us battle on the plains: but finding
themselves so dreadfully cut up, and being able to make
no impression upon us, they betook themselves to the
recesses of their higher mountains, where we were
obliged to follow them, bunt them down, and kill them
like so many tigers, as they never allowed themselves
to be taken prisoners while they could keep hold of their
bow and arrow, and battle-axe. At last, after several
thousands of them being killed, they accepted our terms
of peace, which they had refused several times since the
commencement of the campaign. F►om what I have
here stated, you will easily perceive the very harassing
nature of the expedition to every one concerned. Out
of four medical meo that commenced the campaign,
only one survived the excessine fatigue that they were
obliged to un4ergi;; so that the whole of the medical
charge devolved upon him. His exertions (having at
one time upwards of 400 sick in the camp) called forth
the public thauks of Isis Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief."

EAST INDIER.—OENERAT. ORDERS.
head-quarters,!sotto. Mit July, ISA.

At a General Court-Martial assembled at Bombay, on
the -Ith day of May, 1521, Captain T. T. Thomson, or
his Majesty's 17th Light Dragoons, late Political Agent
at Memo, and Commanding Officer of the troops sta-
tioned on that island, was arraigned upon the under-
mentioned charges,

" Ist, For disobedience of orders, in baring between
the 2211 of October and 17th of November, 1920, rashly.
and without due consideration undertaken an expedition
into the interior of Arabia, in direct contradiction to the
general tenour of the powers vested in him as Political
Agent, and particularly to the instructions communi-
cated to him in the letter of the Chief Secretary of Go-
vernment. dated the Stls of June. 1921.
2sl, For neglect of duty in having marched from
Marl Beni Hu Hassan to attack Bald Beni Beeali on
the 9th of November, 1920, without taking the neces-
sary military precautions, although he well knew that
the enemy were in force in his front, and in having on
the march permitted, in the most negligent and unofficer-
like manner, the detachment under Isis command to be
attacked unformed and unprepared, which lad to its
bring entirely defeated, with the loss of its guns, stores,
and baggage.
" 3d, For neglect of duty in having, daring the said
affair on the 9th of November, 1820, been deficient in
personal exertion, and in not having done his utmost to
repots'• and defeat the enemy on that occasion.
• .Itls, For disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the cha-
rm ter of an officer, in having addressed an official report
to the Chief Secretary of Government, dated the 18th of
November, 1920, and to the Adjntant-Oeneral of the
Army under the same date, in which he unjustly and
ithout foundation ascribed his defeat, in the said affair
of the 9th of November, 1920, to the misbehaviour be.
fore the enemy on that slay of the officers and men who
cous;sosed the detachment under his command."
Upon which charges the Court came to the following
decision :

Finding and Sentence.—The Conn having maturely
weighed awl considered all that has been adduced in
support of the prosecution, as well as .what has been
trought forward on the defence, came to the following
opinion on the respective charges preferred against the
prisoner, Captain T. P. Thompson, of his Majesty's 17th
Light Dragoons—
That the prisoner is not guilty of the first charge,
except in as far as the Court are of opinion that the ex-
pedition into the interior of Arabia was undertaken
rashly, on account of the smallness of the detachment ;
and tory do therefore acquit him of every other part of
the said charge.

" That the prisoner is not guilty of the second charge,
and the Court do therefore honorably acquit him of the
_ _ _

" That the prisoner is not guilty of the third charge,
an I the Court do therefore honourably acquit him of the

" With regard to the fourth Cliarre, that the prisoner
is gniltv of having addressed an Official. Report to the
Chief Secretary to Government, dated the lSth of Nov.
1,429, and to the Adjutant-General of the Attny. under
the same date, in which he unjustly and without fonnila-
tion ascribed his defeat in the said affair of the 9th of
Nov., I:120, to the misbehaviour before the enemy on
that day, of the officers and men who composed the de-
tachments under his command. But the Court are at
the same time of opinion, that this report proceeded front
erroneous conclusions, and they do therefore acquit
him of disgraceful conduct unbecoming an officer.
" The Court having found the prisoner guilty as above
specified, do therefore adjudge him, the said Captain 'l'.
P. Thomson, to be publicly reprimanded, in such man-
ner as his Excellency theCouttuander-in-Chiermay think
proper."
Tile Commander-in•Cltief directs that the foregoing
order be entered in the General Order Book, and
read at the bead of every regiment in his Majesty's
service in ludia.

A STRANGE E!.EI. rioN.—An artirle from Fayette
(N. C.) says, there was a very hard contested election
in that town fir Members of the Assembly. J. A.
lanseron an4l Robert Strange, Essies. were the op-
p, slog candidates. It is supposed that it has cost
thew from 12 to 1500 dollars each. Mr. Strange was
elected—the scene was truly disgusting—one•murder
use committed; one died of drunkenness, and tin
stteeta literally exhibited a picture of riot and con-
fnaion.—(4mericax paper.)

STOCK EXCIL4NE. TIFSLVR O'CLOCK.

The reports of yesterday hays exhausted their
powers, and the funds are rather dat this morning,
with but little business cluing. Console are now 781.

Paris papers of Monday and Tuesday last have ar-
rived this morning. On the 31st alt, the King re-
ceived, on occasion of the slay being the last sirtlK
year, the congratnlations of hip family before maim
and at one o'clock, being on his throne, 'be received
the Ministers, the Marshals of France, Deputations

from the Chambers of the Peers and Deputies, and
other distinguished Personages.

Adricee from Spain bring a Proclamation dated the
21st of Dec., of the Political Chief of Madrid, to the
inhibitants of the capital, by order of the King, in
ord-r to allay the agitation of the people. After the
Sitting of the Cortes of the the King. it is said.
canoed the Minive a to be called to him, and the malt
of theconference %no, that they all gorei• their resigns-

tions. It was not then known what could be the &termin-
ation of the Kint, but it would appear as if the Mi.
nisters of War and of the Interior would Ise supersed-
ed, if one could calculate from the manner in which
they were received and treated by the King. It was
entirely unknown who would be the new candidates (411
the Ministry proposed by the Council of State. Theti
deputation of the Cortes presented itself, the dart
before, at the Palace, to present to the King ,
Message of the Assembly, in answer to the second port

of the Royal Message. The deputation net havieg
been announced according to the fore appointed.
the King did not receive then, bet directed
them to be told that he would receive then Mar
following clay, (the day on which these advice.
were dated.) Thie delay had tamed Loot assaatim

in the capital. At the time appointed, thiteput*Sai
presented themselves at the Palace, and read the Mes-
sage of the fortes to the KING. To ibis, the
KING replied, " I receive your message ; affair
most important; I will reflect upon it." It wet

understood that his Majesty would immediately sub'
mit the document to the Council of State.

A pri►ate letter from Iron, dated the :14th of Dee.,
says, that when the last courier left Madrid, the capi-
tal was quiet. It WAS expected that the King sonl4l
accept the resignation of the Ministers, or at least of
those of War and the le.t :rior.
The Preach papers contain nothing new on the
affairs of Turkey ur Greece.

84f. SOc,

New York papers arrived this morning to the 12th
of December, from which we extract thy following
from the Nifiona/ Adrovate.

110 USE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Dec. 8.
Mr. Lathrop submitted the following motion :

Resolved, That the Committee in Revisal and unfi-
nished Business be instructed to consider the exp.-
thesep of, revising and continuing in force fur a

limited time, an Act passed the 11th of May, 1820,
extending the time allowed for the redemption of land
sold for direct taxes, in certain cases, or of otherwise
granting relief to the owners of the laud where it has
been purchased on behalf of the United States.
Mr. Wood suggested that the motion of the fientle-
enan from Massachusetts (Mr. Lathrop) was not suffi-
ciently broad to cover the object in view. His
(Mr. W.'s) attention was drawn to the subject, and he
had drafted the following motion he intended to bate
himself proposed :

. .
Resolved, that the expediency of extending the
time for the redemption of lands sold for the direct
under the several Acts. passed August 2, 1813, Jan.
9, 1815, and March 5, 1816, and which have been
purchased on behalf of the United States, be referred
to the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. W. hoped
that both would be laid on the table for invection
I and consideration. Mr. Lathrop assented, and the
resolutions were respectively ordered to lie on the
table.

The President's Message, on the motion of Mr.
Sawyer, was taken up in a Committee of the whole,
oo the state of the union ; Mr. Taylor, of New York,

in the Chair.

A resolution was proposed by Mr. Moore, of Pa, to
prevent duels among persons employed in tbe civil, mili-
tary, and naval service of the United States was
adopted, when the Haase adjourned.
PIRATICAL FORTS.—Copt. Sisson, from H h,
reports, that seventy of the pirates belonging to the
vessels captured and destroyed by the Enterprise, have
erected two forts on Cape Antonio, and bid defiance
to the troops.

Itiat the labours of the Divan ars very nearly brought
to a close ; Indeed they say that the Dread Sri:pot has

=swots the Emperor giving up Prince Sasso, and
r persoas who fled front Moldavia and Wailseilia

lated in their plan of revolt against the Ottoman oo-

" CONSTANTIXOPLE, Nov. 26.—Nothing of a de&
she character that I can learn, has as yet taken place

the Court of Russia. Persons who pretend to oliplo-

Intents now, it is affirmed that all differences are set-

lag from Russia the person of Prince Suez*. and the
other individuals who took part in the rebellion in

" I do net pretend to be in the secret of these af-
fairs; but for m► own part. I bare no faith wit
in the statement. It seems to we, that any body
who pretends to any thing like a knowledge of
Ottoman politics, west be aware that the poise in

entertain it; the more particularly, y thing here
sod abroad, assumes an attitude of defiance rather
than of peace; and the ti meet, to my meadow,
is rather inclined to ensheoth the sword, than to bold
out the olive branch."

" CONSTANTINOPLI, Nov. 26.—With the excep-
tion that the Turks so Imager respect even Earepeaas.
I have nothing worth communicating. bat, that the ae-
goelatioes continue sorensitted. Couriers daily arrive

brought Intelligence frnw Ceastaatieople, through
Odessa, and though eta less recent date this what

confirmatory of the preceding accounts. TM follow-
ing is the detail :

Onitesa. Dec. I.—We have news from Constan-
deep!e up to the 25th of November, according to
which that capital was the theatre of the most dread-
fel excesses. On the 23J of November, according to
letters worthy of credit, the Annulate and English Am- ,
bassadors, Count Lutsow and Lord Straugford, had a
conferesee with the Reis Effendi, east endeavoured to
Weer him to accept the Russian Ultimatum. The
two Ambassadors had thee an audience of the
Sultan himself, but, as it is affirmed, to no par-•
pose. His Sublimity is said to have declared that
the privileges which belong to the Greek nation
by existing treaties cannot be renewed, and in ge-
neral the demands of the Russian Emperor can in
no case be granted ; that the extirpation of the Greeks
is resolved upon, and they must all be destroyed from
the face of the earth. When these Diplomatists were
returning home, accompanied by a numerous escort of
Janissaries, they were (according to our letters) gross-
ly insulted by the furious Turks, who fired the whole
afternoon with pistols at the hotel of Lord Strangford.
The Sultan had in vain valued the people to be called
upon to cease their excess a ; the Janissaries had, on
the contrary, uttered the most dreadful imprecations
against the Sultan and his Minister. who, they said,
had promised them, for above these six months past.
the plunder of the quarter of the Franks in Pera.—
Such are our latest accounts, which have been sent
by couriers to St. Petersburg.—Accounts from Mol-
davia and Walachia are full of details of murders and
atrocities committed by the Turks.

A statement which appears in a file of Gibraltar
papers recently received, *hews the good sense and
spirit which prevails in Spain. The War Minister, it
appears, has offended the Commander and officers of a
regiment stationed in Cordova, by a letter add d
to them, in which he inquired about the discipline of

their corps, sad wished to know whether it was in-
clined to support the constituted Authorities. This
regiment bad hitherto, we believe, remained neutral in
its conduct and polities, and might therefore be consi,
dered as friendly to the existing Administration. The
questions put by the Minister was regarded as casting
* doubt on the honour and fidelity of the corps, and
the result has been a declaration that it will, to its last
breath, keep the oath which it had taken to maintain
the Constitution, and that the Constitution which it
has sworn to defend. is that made by the Extraordi
nary Cortes at Cadiz In 1812, " without a single iota
mere or less." The terms is which the rest of this
declaration is coached, show that the regiment in.
tended to make a great IBM ranee between the Admi- I
nistratioa and the Constitution. Au Order of the Day !
based by the Commander of the Battalion of Canaria' j
(Light Infantry) is still more explicit. It charges the I
Ministers with pursuing crooked ways, and expresses
ths readiness of the corps "to repulse, if necessary,
the internal enemies who might attempt In endemism" 11
the Coestitstion. Baron Andilla. who. is the course;
of the debate on the King's Message in the Cortes,
was charged by one of the Members to the Province
of Cadiz. with having been concerned in certain trials
at Fakscia, which his Majesty tad Die Supreme,

1 a .

ICouncil of War had disapproved of, has applied to the
War Minister fur as leptiry into his conduct ap,,n
that measles when, as a military man, he was oblige.,
to aischorge the dotty homed upon him, sad requested
that in the mesa time he might be excused from ever-

miaow say publio fusstious, essid his mistplete justifi-
cation had restored him to that full confides.* which
the Authorities ought to enjoy.

The *egoists received from Ireland to-day are re: br r
cheering. "We feel great pleasure," says The Du -
[Uis Eceniig Peet, " in stating, that at the commence.
meat of the New Year, those angry symptoms at
which several of our Contemporaries, and even a pot.
don of the community were alarmed. have been so far
mitigated, as to remove any apprehension hitherto en.
tertained as to their continuance or diffusion. A
the journals received from the country since our last,
and a number of letters now lying on our table, serve
to cosartn this impression. They also deasoastrate, it
demonstration were necessary, that the !system et
exaggeration hes failed." It is inspected, and with
too mulch reams, that many of the slams which hare
beta etched, and the fabrications whiagh,have been
propagated, have originated in motives' of the vilest
kind. In the present distressed and distracted state
of the wintry, it is believed there an wretches dis-
persed about the disturbed districts.}nly spread-
ing their horrible isveotions, bet stireinirip the peo-
ple so deeds of mischief, in order that they themselves
might get employment as officers of police or in a
military capacity. If such wretches really de exist,
their guilt is that of fiends. and ought not to be per-
mitted to be undetected or unpunished. The miser-
able dopes of delasion or despair, who have brfeite.l
their lives to the laws of their country, are, compared
with them, the objects of commi PPPPP tion. The Country
Gentlemen in every part of the Kin Ttion, appear to he
sow on the alert. Associations are formed. or we
farming, in every part of the Island, to repress dis-
turbances, or to prevent their appearance. So far
they do well, hat this is not enough. It is not inf.
Escheat that they exercise authority and atlnsiaister ad-
monition. These can only serve a temporary purpose.
If permanent utility be the of of thn Country Gee-
demer.they must treat their tenantry with consideration
and kindness, aid teach them to regard the laws, not
as the scourge, bat as the protection of the people.

The appointment of the Marquess WICLUISLIff to the
Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, is deserving of so mach
attention that a frequent recurrence to a discos ion
slivery t►ing rowneeted with it, cannot, we think,
be deemed unacceptable to our liberal inindeJ readers.
The Noble Marquess, in the course of his pOillital
life, has certainly displayed talents, discrimination,
and vigour: These are qualifications highly necessary
in the management of alLars so desperate as those of
the sister isle. These are qualifications which kaki us
to entertain lofty expectations of his goverment, at
least so far as we eau anticipate any thing beneficial
Prow the exertions of an individual. When the Mar-
quess disdained melt any longerin a Council,of whir
the present Ministers were the leading inezabers, he
displayed appearancii, at least, of a justness of views,
and a love of his country's honour and welfare. The
Happen WaLLest.er was then looked op to by =Oft
men, who were not partizans of an ignorant and site
Administration, as capable of saving the state. He re-
probated the narrow maiims and conduct of Lis col
leagues ; and insisted upon a rigid s'n'otty, in the
bight, as well as &locr branches of expenditure, as
absolutely necessary to restore the blood and life of
she political body. Here then are we presented with
slifikulties which time alone can solve. How are we
to reconcile the inconsistency of his accepting ace
during the existence of an administration formed
a men whom he has abused ? Was he sieve* or in-
sincere in his condemnation ? If sincere, did his Cell-
Owe proceed from the virtue of a man who eouspre-
bends the beauty of virtue, but, being p.m., cannot
abjure the blandishments and enjoyments of wealth?
Will the colleagues of Lord LONDONDERRT hold out
the hand of forgiveness and affection to Ireland ? Will
he open his month to ac.l.moickdgc wrongs when He
accuses of crime—wrongs in his predecessors, when
he speaks to Ireland of her offences? He would not
be permitted to cross the Irish Channel, except in a
private capacity, Übe said, lie meant any such thing ;
and if he does so mean, and does so act, his stay in
Ireland will be of no longer duration than that which
will suffice to bold a hasty Cabinet Council here, and
suffice fur her nil steaw.boats to convey one Lien-
tenant to Ireland, and transport the other from it.

But the hand of conciliation, with celcdaeled,ossept
of sootnal error, is to he held out to Ireland, or the
arm that grasps her and claims her fur prs•
perty will be broken and crushed to atoms. There Is
tso longer possibility of CJNC.trliag the ri htiee piss

to conceal the symptoms of the clanger I..elongirig .0

a motive to be silent, but where the Judges of the
land and the civil or military executioners are pre-

on whom misrule has heaped miseries more intolerable'
than death. They cannot. therefore, be Went or unre-
sisting, but where superior physical force is actually
employed in silencing or mowing them down. The
moment the force is removed, they return to gratify
revenge, and to foster hope which never within
them.

If Ireland could be misgoverned for ever, (that is,
while England holds her present place among aations,)
would the continuance under such eireamstaaces of
the power of Ragland over that country be desirable?
No moral man, no sound statesman would say so. If
we could even draw wealth or support from Ireland in
this way, humanity would reject advantages purchased
by such indiction of misery, and mad policy would
&ells, benefits so dearly bought.
My Lord LONDONDKRIBT would mile at our view
of the subject ; but my Lord LONDONDinn, has a mind
so leveterately twisted, that so ensilm of real utility
can find en ranee into his audentanding, and
he has probably delighted mere le the cosecs: by
which he hes governed Ireland, than le all the wealth
and gratificationsiltose means have obtained for him.
But our readers cosset be so besotted as to believe
that Ireland can ever be happy herself, or produce any
thing bet shame and loss to England, while governed
as she has been for centuries.
But it is whispered is some circles, that the Mar-
quess WCLLISLnT in seeking Of receivieg oMee, has
rejected the trammels which he before disdained to
bear. It is said, be goes to govern Inland on the

not be long before his present colleagues here will
cease to dirkeo Me door of their Sovereign's closet.—
A wise and equitable government in Ireland, will be
the harbinger of a wise and coastitational government
in Britain.
There is indeed so impossibility is these things.

MTH OP IRELAND.

CLONWIL. Dec. 29.—.Tb0--.4lw followiag le as ezteset of
a letter frees a Death:sag at Thula. dated DOOM'
ber U. 1821: _

Last night, two farm-bouses and an out-house es
the lauds of Laharden, the estate of Lord Llaodaff,
within one mile of this town, were maliciously set on
fire and consumed, together with four cows which were
stalled in the oat-hose. I went to the lends this
morning, when the houses were still burning; the
scene of this outrage was melancholy and revolting
in the extreme, particularly the cut-house, in which
lay the smoking bodies of the four cows ; the hors.,
legs, and tails of which were consumed by the fire;
the carcasses were black, swollen, and burst open,
with the intestines protruding and the skin burned
_ _

.1 These cows were the property of Timothy Ryan,
a farmer, who became tenant in November last, to
Mr. Patrick Ryan, of Clouse!, merchant, for this
farm. containing 30 acres—upon the same being sur-
rendered by the late tenests, who were largely in-
debted to Mr. Ryan for the rent of the premiss, but
which they held at 545. au acre, and which were at
November !sued to the present tenant. at 365. an
acre. Timothy Ryan, the new tenant, as he this day
informed me, intended removing his family to the
new farm on Monday neat, and yesterday even.
lag sat to it the four cows which were burned,
with a qoantity of bay and straw, which, toge-
ther with the cows, were put into the out-house.—
There were eight stacks of corn in the haggard ad-
joining said house, of considerable value, and which
were the property of the late tenant, but were at No-
-1 troths gives over to Mr. Patrick Ryan, the landlord,
in part discharge of the arrears due by the late tenants
I—and it is rather singular they remained uniejured.l
A party of Captain Wilson's Police, on bearing of the
outrage, this morning, at as early hoar, repaired to
the spot and apprehended two men on suspicion, and
on the return of one of the Policemen with a prisoner,
he was assaulted by two drunken fellows, who threw
stoats at him and cut him on the head; but, I am
happy to say, the Policeman (Malone) who is remark
able for his activity, succeeded in defending bint.eW
single-handed, and lodging his prisoner is the Brides
I well here; and, having procured a party returned he j
Iptirsult and apprehended the two fellows who assaulted
him, who are now in custody.
• It is a circumstance of considerable satisfaction
to the loyal and well disposed inhabitants of this
town and its vicinity, that a few days ago, the Lord
of the Manor, Earl Mandan: received from tiovernment
the necessary instructions and authority for embody-
ing forthwilit, and placing on permanent duty in this
town,* corps of yeomanry infantry of 100 privates,
exclusive of °Ewers. His Lordship has placed this
corps miller the command of Michael Lidwell, an of-
ficer of sxperience. and a Magistrate of this county. 1
undentaud the Major leas already selected his corps,
two-thirds of whom consist of active young men, who
have served in the line and seen service. At this pe-
riod this corps will materially um.* prompt the
peace of this popaloos district, slim" is aid of the
civil Aathorities. Lila rather a strange eiremostance,
iwe havW set bad for'ilstreaTisoatise pait sloe* sob
dier quartered in this town, though we have barracks
capable of accommodating several companies—and in
which, until lately, we bare always had soldiers sta-
tioned.'

Committed to Clouse' Gaol, by the Right Hoe.
Colonel Bagwell, David Veal, for robbing .Thomas
Meany, a private of the 86th Regiment, of his musket,
Richard Casey, Wm. Ceoway and Richard Casey, jun.
were also committed by Col. Bagwell, for the sam.t of-
fence, but, on further examination, discharged.—
(Mantel Herald.)
Robert Crowe Fleming, of Nuffield, Esq., and An-
drew Kerns, of Ballyally, Esq., attended at the Chapel
of Barefield, on Sunday last. These Gentlemen, in the
most impressin manner, addressed the dock assembled
there, upon the folly sad danger of these lawless associa-
tions, and the different distressing calamities that follow
such proceedings—that as warm hearted friends they
came amongst them to caution them against falling into
the insidious .earn of Capt. Rock, or any of kis
erde-
structive disciples; to look to Limerick, for mple
sake, and there they would see verified, what were
communicating to them—no less than the h aging of
6 unfortunate men, and 7 more destined for similar
fates in a short period, the eetire leaving about 31/
helpless children to lament their crimes ; and this
would be their fate if they indulged in such lamentable
useless folly. Every poor country fellow seemed grate-
ful for the advice given, and promised with one voice,
to obey the command of the above-mentioned gentle-
men with truth and perseverance. The Rev. Mr.
Kenny, P.P. delivered a very excellent discourse, on
morality in renal, to his congregation at the same
chapel, sad we have no doubt bet from the paternal
care and attendee of this Rev. Gentleman, and from
the purity of his example, that he will keep them in
his owe even paths.—(Bans Chreeiek.)
TO THR ROITOR Or TOO coax INCICANTILI CIIIIONICLO.
Ste—lt being determined, at a Meeting of the Ma-
gistrates and Gendarme of this neighbourhood, held
is this town a few days ago, to apply to Government
to have the lasurrection Act extended to this district,
and feeling, as I naturally oast, a particular interest
not only in the peace and good order of my parishes,
but also in the character of my parishioners. I consi-
der it due to them, to acquaint the public, through the
medium of your respectable print, that no outrage of
any kind has been committed in the Bandon parishes,
nor indeed in any other part of this county, except
that arms were taken, and perhaps is some instances
were said to be taken in a certain neighbourhood at
souse distance from this town.

Is it reasonable then, that these peaceable and well-
conducted people should expect that they would am be
subjected to** dreadful provisions of the Insurrection
Act, and that no measures of a vexatious nature would
be adopted with respect to them; measures which not
being. called for by any misconduct on their pa would
be cAlculated to irritate even the best disposed.
I bate the honour to be, your obedient humble servant.

aLumtN.inadvs LY DUBLIN.
[MOM TES BOSUN siparms PosT.]
The "Head of the City" has issued a Proclamation,
ordering the Inhabitants of Dublin to illuminate their
booms this 'melee We have not seen the manifesto,
and are therefore rather at a lees to know, whether it be
the worthy Mayer's intention that the Citizens of Dublin
should rejoice for the departure of Earl Talbot. (in
causing which event to take place, he had himself, it is
believed, a principal share;) or for the expected retire-
ment of the present Attorneystieneral; or for the arrival
and swearing into office of the Marquess Wellesley ; or,
though last sot least, for the promised liaronetage,l
which is, it seems, by some sort of hocus pocus business,
to fall to his own lot in these changes.
The occasion, oue would think, has been suffered to
pass by, of illuminating for the arrival of our present
noble and popular Viceroy. The time fur this was, the
night of his Excellency's arrival ; and, to be truly com-
plimentary, it should be spontaneous. We can scarcely
suppose that our worthy and wise Lord Mayor would
celebrate the DISMISSAL of Earl Talbot under the retype-
exlier circumstances of the case ; or that he would re-
joice for Mr. Sanrin's retirement from an office which he
has filled with moderation and dignity. We come thou
to the last of At above mentioned causes, and this may
be the '! (tiptoe rindice nodus" in his Lordship's
opinion.

However the affair may be. the citizens are of but
one opinion, namely. that his Lordship ►hould not
have Jammed such a manifesto, not that they are un-
willing to pay the highest mark of respect to the
new Viceroy. but because they dislike to obey the
bidding of the iudividoal who has assumed an autho-
rity which is as unprecedented as it is unwarrantable,
and lightly exercised.
