and observes—" We reseal it to the public, after bat-

l'illILIC MUTING AT coat.
•
The Mayor of Cork, it appears, has thought proper to
refuse compliance with the requisition presented to him
on Thursday (as mentioned is our last), requesting him
... to convene a public Meeting of the Citizens of Cork.
to address the Lord Lieutenant on his providential
• escape from the late outrageous attack upon him. The
ground assigned fur this pitiful attempt to stifle the ex-
preminn of the public feeltog was, that an Address was
already lying at the Slansion-house for signatures, by
svhich every object of a public meeting could be ob.
twined. This mode of proceeding. however. was justly
considered to involve sub manifest disrespect to the
Viceroy, and such palpable disregard of public opinion.
use the requisitionists promptly rejected it, and decided
on calling, of themselves. a meeting of their fellow-citi-
lens. For this purpose they assembled on Saturday,
when, as the Soothers Reporter states. a COLIMUDiCaIk•
was read (rein authority, expressing the Lord Liao-
tenant's approbation of the conduct of the Requisition-'
jute in convening a public meeting. It was finally de-
termined to hold the general meeting on Tuesday (ibis
0 v.) The sorry Corporation having carried their spleen
• so 'fir as to refuse the Citizens the use of the Court-house
on the occasion.

A horrible s inatien has been committed at the
Brills. An inhabitant of that town having gained a prise
in time lottery. proposed to bis wife to ask • smith, their
neighbour. to sapper; while they were at their repast
the ridges acqttainted his guest with his good fortune ;
the latter soon left him. The patrol of *ferias regiment
pealing by, footed the street door open, on which the
officer commanding it went in and stumbled over a dead
body; placing his men at the door, be went into the
house, and found the father sod mother. and their two
daughters assassinated, and a child cool:aided under a
press. The child said that some black people, whom he
did not knew, had committed the crime ; one of the sol-
diers emery* that a smith lived opposite, the officer of
the patrol %reacts him, and the avower' I:e.rimeived to
Ids questions confirming his suspicions. he arrested him;
in fact, in five minutes lie confessed that he bad bat just
got home, when lie returned to his neighbour's with his
lonroryinan end his maid servant, with whose aid he as-
s i-sinaieil the persons who bad treated him so amicably
a few minutes before.

between the hours of twelve and one o'clock. some
darieg villains. who are connected with • most New
Ciolll gang' of depredators that have • long time existed
in the parish of St. Lake. Old Street. broke two the
Parsonage House at the corner of Helmet Row, app.-
site the church. the residence of the Rev. Mr. Rice.
Curate of the parish, and plundered it of a vast wadi,
of property. The buglers effected their entrance at the
frost door in Helmet Row by me ins of picklock keys,
whilst the curate was performing the morning service at
the church; previous to the conclusion of kis religions
functions the news was brought to bile, stud the affair
soon made known amompt the congregation. On az-
smiaing the premises, not a room therein camped the
lattice date robbers. they beteg every Gee completely
ransacked. The back room on the first floor was strewed
with papers belongist to the Reverend gentleman. and
the Ildior was literally broken to pieces by the violinists
used by the villains. A tin chest or box. containing
cub, plate. and other valuables, was broken open, and
the contents carried off. Vann, an active officer of Wee.
ship Street. who resides on the spot. was immediately
scot for, sad after &minute examination of the premises.
gays it as hisopiniest that the robbery bad been accent
plished by a regular trade:ma, and that they bad
escaped by the mote war they entered. The finger of
suspicion points to two individuals, but for the present
we forbear farther pablicity.
