We regret to learn that after we had left the Theatre
en the evening of Tuesday, there was a call for a parti-

DUBLIN.—COMMISSION, No►.3.
Acseitettirstywo UNLAWFUL OATH..
Michael Keenan, Edward Browne, Win: Creely, W.
Flinn, John O'Neill, Daniel Moore, Edw. Heghev, and
Laurence Weeds, were arraigned at the bar. The pri inners
all pleaded not guilty, and stated, that Wry were inlay
for their trials. The panel was then called o►er, when
Michael Keenan was put upon his trial.

The prisoner was indicted. for that be wickedly and
maliciously administered unlawful oaths to a person an-
known, to be of a Society which was held in the city of
Dublin in August, ISt?, for sedition* purposes, against
toe peace of our Sovereign Lord the Kin!. There was a
second count in the indictment, which stated it to be an
engagement; there was a third and a fourth count,
which stated the oath to bind the parties to obey the
roles of said Society, not lawfully contitiited ; the fifth
and sixth counts, to obey a Commander not appointed
by his Majesty ; the seventh and eighth, not to reveal
any illegal act done by said Society,
After Mr. Gasses bad opened the case, the Attorney-
General addressed the Jnry. It was his duty, be said, to
state what the galore of this Association was, is which
the prisoner and his companions were engaged, and it
was with great pain he felt himself obliged to do so.—
Foe some years back, more than two or three years, a
plan was formed for associating the members of the
cousrnaniq, into on organised body, for the purpose of
severtbroodag the Government of the country. Their
piss was Arm to have lodges formed of 30 or 40 persons
each; they took an oath to conform to the rules of the
society and to obey the orders of their leaders and as
peelers; alas to keep inviolable the secrets of the so—
ciety. They had also Baronial Assemblies, County
Aseemblise, Proviscial Assemblies, and National As.
semblies. They must all recollect the years 97, 98,
and 1803. The whole system of the machinery on which
they acted was them framed, the tnode of which was
taken from another country. What the precise object
was 'WA they hid in view, it would he difficult to say.
This society, however, differed from that of 97, 98, and
1703, as they bad rose resolution which was exclusively
their own, and which was that no persons except those
professing the Roman Catholic religion should be ad-
imitable into the Society. This stamped the danger and
thi illegality of such associations. They were spread-
log beyond the city and the county, but were not,
be thought, by any means connected with the out-
rages which lately to .k place throughout the coun-
try. They were rather hatching their plots until
one general convulsion should shake the Constitution
to itscentre. . Many persons thought they were connect •
ed with the Radicals of the sister country. The views
of the individuals were frequently found to be various.; it
was alleged that the Society was formed for the purpose
of subverting the law. Ef any act was to cause a break.
inn out of the Radicals i a England, they were to cause a
diversion here, so as to compel the army to be seat over.
Another object of the Society was, that of extirpating all
the Protestants of the country. No person of any
rank or station in society bas been connected with
them but on the contrary, every penes of that
description has eodsavoured to put them down.—
We shall prove. Gentlemen, said the Attorney-
Geseral. the existence of the Society; that the priioner
at the bar was a leading member of it; that he attended
twenty or thirty different en-ratings of that Society; that
be assumed authority and command. sad met rams into
the country. We shall prove that he t person
who will be prodaced to you on the table; at on the
14th of January last, he was about to swear a person in,
and that is three druilosaiifter, on the 17th, he stated that
be had sworn in. t geupg. Wit *it Ms* al*
*Wile was ar a maw of papers were found in
his room, one of which was the form of the oath. We
shall produce the person who met bins at Uwe tsars
ciatioos. Whatever imputation there may be rest upon
the person who took the oath sot to reveal their secrets,
sod afterwards did disclose them, it will be for you to
say what credit be is intitled to. Were they not to re-
sort to the legitimacy of persons called informers, it would
be to invest those Associatioos with the attri bates of truth
and virtue. After some ether remarks. the Attorney Oe.
nen' coseluded by reminding the Jury that the charge
against the privateer did sot affect his life.
Michael Coffy (the approver) was then examined
mad the printed and MS. papers were handed In
as evidence. There was no evidence adduced un the
part of the prisoner, and after Baron Smith summed sap,
the Jury retired for an hour and a half and then re-
turned with a verdict of Geilly.

OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.
DIMINO 00/11•114.-011 Sat/Inlay eight last, at the
hoar of II o'clock, as Joseph Baker, Esq. was proceed-
ing from Croukhaven to his residence at Bellies, in the
West of this County, he was most furiously attacked by
six ruffians, (who evidently had laid in wait for his com•
lag,) by whom be was beaten most unmercifully, and
would, no doubt have fallen a victim to their rage, had
he not by a desperate exertion disengaged himself from
their grasp and fired the contents of a heavily laden
pistol in the midst of them, which it is believed must
have taken effect as he was enabled to escape home with-
out farther molestation.—(Southern Reporter of Satur-
day.)
On Thursday night, or Friday morning, a Farmer's
haggard in the parish of Grenagb,containing nine stacks
of corn, was burned; we have received the statement
from a gentleman, who on Friday saw it still burning.

tons of hey were cosenmed. Nearly the same hour the
turf boats of M . Birch, conreyinx fuel from the bog
of Moustache, in that neighbourhood, to the Distillery
of Eirchgrove, were wantonly damaged. Six months
ago Mr. Hutchinson received threatening written no-
tires to leave tire-arms at a certain place, and his non-
compliance is supposed to have brought this visitation
on him.

CV/MMI, OCT. 30.—We have authority for stating,
that on Sunday night last, at if o'cl..ek, the house of
Mr. Jobs Ross, of Drumlemon, within one mile of
Ciogbeen, was attacked by a large and well.armed party,
six of whom entered the house, and succeeded in ob-
taining a gnu and pistol. They also attacked the house
of a farmer named Ryan, in the same neighbourhood,
but got no arms there. We understand the same party
proceeded afterwards to the lands of (inrtheculla, about
two miles free Idlogbeeo, and attacked the houses of
Richard Lonergan,lDavid Lonergan, and David Mur-
phy, and the forge of Pat. Hyland, breaking the doors
and windows, Lug shots, &c. giving the inhabitants
notice to quit the lands; and wonaded one seas by a
hot through the baud.—(Cleanse! Adoertiesr.)

—(Adneriecas Paper )

(Froth the egos, Joeraal.)—We formerly men-

guests of Sir. Ora kie sat down to 6 handsome and plea-
tiful dinner is the Mason Lodge. After the cloth had
been drawn, and the usual loyal an.l patriotic toasts bad
been drunk, "Prosperity to the Caledonian Canal" was
given. We subjoin an account fof the length of the
canal, and the depth of the cut at the different parts:—
Prom the sea lock at Clachnary to Muirtows, the length
is 1 mile 10 chains; 'depth from the sea to Dochgar-
roch, 12 feet; from Muirtown, through Loch Dochfour.
to Loch Ness, 6 miles 55 chains t depth from Docbgar.

feet. Prom thb S.W. end of Loch Oieb to Loch Loeb,.
the distance is 1 mile 65 chains; and the depth trans 10
to 20 fret. Length of Loch Leehy 10 miles; and frees
the S.W. end of Loch Leal to Carpach see lock, eight
miles and 3 chains—the total length being 60 mike.*
chains, of which 37 miles Xi chains pan through Ledo
or Lakes, wed 23 miles S chains of email elating. Prom
Loch Lochy to the regulating lock near it, there Is a
depth of from 12 to 18 feet ; from the regulating lock
to Neptnne's Staircase, at Banavie, the depth is 15 feet ;
led from the chain of eight locks at Banavie, to the set
at Comeeh,titere is a full depth of water in the canal of
20 feet.

~Rov►t, tAaat..—.-The bread; is the canal Is not, by
an/ means, to the extent which has been stated in some
of the news-papers; but this is owing, in a great de-
gree, to the piompt and effectual exertions of the ofB•
errs of the Company.
.80111 e decisive measures should
be adopted tout a stop to these lawless and criminal
proceedings, by the tientlemen and blagistra:rs of the
country, In ro-operation with whatever aid the ()tavern-
anent can afford for the purvose.—Measwhile, we would
recommend that these unfortunate occurrence, should
not be exaggerated by the public Joarnals, to the mani-
fest injury of the Proprietors, who have already suffered
to so great an extent by this unfortunate concern.—
(Dablin Morning Post.)

RUM° ow CAosaWATS Paol3llll2lll.—By the new Ge-
germ Turnpike Act, which is to take ease on the Ist ofJa-
suety next, it is enacted, ' That If any person shall rids
upon say footpath or causeway, by the side orally turnpike
road, made or set apart for the use or aceonamodadon of foot
passengers, or shall lead or drive any horse, ass, mule,
swine, or cattle, or carriage of any descriptioO, or any
wheelbarrow, track or sledge, or any single wheel of any
I waggon, cart or carriage, a part therefrom, upon any such
(footpath, or causeway, every person offending shall, for
every offence, forfeit any MO nut exceeding forty shillings.
This seems to set at rest the long-disputed claim between
foot passengers and horsemen to the causeway, which now
appears to be the right of the former.
By an Act passed early in the last session of Parlia-
ment, the sufferers by the acts of incendiaries have a
summary of means affarded them of recovering damages
for the injury so received by them, when the amount
does not exceed 301. instead of having recourse to the
more rircnitous and expensive aide of obtaining it by
so action at law. The mode pointed out by the act is,
for the parties to give notice to the chief nicer of the
district where the loss is sustained, wbo is directed
thereupon to anima the local magistrate a hold a
petty sessions, they having a power given them to/firett
a compensation to the sufferers, out of a fend to be
raised in the manner particularly pointed out by the
