The diurnal panegyrics of the Editor and

marvellous an influx of congratulatory Epistles

render it absolutely necessary to announce a

INSUBORDINATION of the YROJIANRY,
AT• BANDON, IN IRELAND.

FROM TUE CORE SOUTUERN REPORTER.

A variety of rumours have reached us from
Bandon, relative to sonic proceediugs which oc-
curred in that town during the last week, as novel
as they were extraordinary. We shall just relate
the occurrences as they have been represented to
us,without, fiowever,vouching for their accuracy iii
every particular. Due diligence shall not be neg.
lected in arriving at an accurate and distinct state-
meet, which we will publish to the world with
such comments as such proceedings warrant, and
as our duty impolivisepon ea.
On Sunday, the lit of July, all the Yeomanry
Corps of Baudon assembled, according to cos.
tom ; but, instead of firing a feu-de-joie and dis.
playing other anniversary tokens of joy on the
return of this auspicious and glorious day, they
were addressed by their Commander, the Earl of
Bandon, and admonished to return peaceably to
their homes, and to put an end to all insulting and
foolish party distinctions ; that it was the parti-
cular injunction of Government that nothing of
this kind should be indulged in on the present oc-
casion, and that such exhibitions were but poor
manifestations of their sense or loyalty. Ile
told them, that above all, as they were a Military
Body, they should obey the commands of their
' Officers, and that if they were disposed to pre-
serve the remembrance of these heart-burning in-
temperate and foolish distinctions, they should do
it as individuals, and not in a collective body,
which might give it the appearance of being sanc-
tioned by Government:
This prudent and wholesome advice, had, it
seems, no effect upon those loyal gentlemen, who
were extremely indignant at not being marched
through the town with their loyal lilies, and at
not being allowed to lire their jen.de.joye ; they
therefore suddenly dispersed—and, as it is sup-
posed, ware particularly incensed against a Mr.
Kingston, a respectable gentlpmaq of that town,
and a leading officer in the corps, who had made
himself active in opposing their clamour end in.
temperance. On the night of that day a shot had
been fired into a bed-chamber of this cutfemau's
house, the ball of which struck the Nall be.
hind the bedstead, and from which a young lady,
at that time in bed, had a very narrow escape. A
considerable reward to the amount of 5551. has
been offered by some of the must respectable inha-
bitants, at the head of whom is the Earl of Ban-
don, for the discovery or apprehension of the per-
petrator of this outrage.
On Thursday, the corps assembled again, but
instead of following the advice of their command.
lug officer, all the privates appeared decorated
with lilies, and seemed determined to oppose the
commands of their officers. The Earl of Bandon
and Colonel Oriel, the Inspecting Officer of the
district, again remonstrated. They observed, that
these flowers were not part of a soldier's equip-
ment, and that their wearing them could answer
no good purpose. It was also making a foolish
and ridiculous implication that they alone were
loyal, and that all other corps in the kingdom
who had understanding enough to despise such
antiquated partialities, or who were anxious rather
to live un good terms than otherwise with their
fellow-countrymen, were not to be regarded
as equally loyal. They then said, that if they
wished to be considered really obedient and'
loyal, they would attend to the orders of their
Officers, as Government seemed particularly anxi-
ous to prevent the further wearing of any em.
blem of this kind; and lastly, they put it to
them, either to take these marks of distinction
down, or else ground their arms. The corps for
some time remained undecided, when at length,
with the exception of twenty-live of the Union,'
they indignantly threw down their arms and ac-
coutrements, sooner than obey the commands of
their Government delivered through their Officer,
or surrender their hostile and insulting partialities.
Some accounts state, that the artillery was sent
for to the barracks before they gave their arms ;
we cse hardly credit this statement. It is, how.
ever, sufficient to say, that the whole Yeomanry
of Bandon, to the amount nearly of 600 men,
have laid down their arms, or they have been
taken from them, with the exception of the 25
above alluded to.

Such is the substance of the intelligence we have
received from that town. We will now appeal to
the understanding of those gentlemen, and ask,
what could be their motives for adopting this line
of conduct? Do they imagine the defence of this
country rests upon their exertions alone ? or
are they not certain that, by preserving those
weak and foolish divisions, it tends, at a most
perilous and awful period, to weaken the ener-
gies of the empire ? The principles and attach.
ments of all men are to be respected, as long
as they are not hostile to the interests of the
whole ; but if, in the manifestation of these,. they
tend to divide, inflame, and agitate, they deserve
to be put down and meet reprobation.
Too much praise cannot be given to the part the
Earl of Bandon acted on this occasion. He has
shown sense, firmness, and spirit worthy of his
rank and character, and which we hive not a
doubt but will in time have their due effect. If
these corps be embodied again, we would advise a
mixture of all ranks and religions—alai if such
a regulatioe were adopted in all other corps that
stand up far a distinctive character, we think it
may be attendee( with the most salutary and bane.
ficial effects at this crisis.

SITTI~CS. E LORD RLLENDOROUGU, ARD srstui.
JURIES IN otilLualLL.
SALE OF PLACES UNDER GOVERNMENT.

Ina IMO 0. FRANCIS 1.41/I1 POLLISAR, iterhuce,
SAUAII HARRY, AND JOHN WATIOY.
'this was an indictnieut against the Defeodanti
for a conspiracy, that they, under false pretences,
obtained 20001. from Robert de Brion Hesse, with
an intention to defraud him, under the pretence of
obtaining him a situation under (4nvernment,
which was to be procured, as held out by the De.
fendants, by a 14.,rd of the Treasury.
Mr. ATTORNEINGENKRAL stated, that the four
persons named in the indictment had conspired to-
gether to obtain a sum of money. by a pretended
sale of an office or appointment under Govern-
ment. He then detailed the facts of the case,
which were afterwards adduced in evidence. It
might be asked, what could be their motive, if
they could not obtain the situation It was milt
answered ; in this great metropolis money always
produced money ; and the possession of 20001.
for two months, would produce a handsome pre-
mium ; but the operation of the fraud did not
cease here; in a political view it had a much worsn
tentlescy ; it went to traduce the Government of
the country, and to hold out to the public, that
Officers of the Crows were corrupt; the b;relef al
eLets of such practices had been already tuo
much felt, and the wowed was not yet healed.
This was the first instance where the Govern.
meta was able to trace those corrupt practices,
and be hoped, by the example that wuo!d be
made in this wee, that an end would be put to
them in future. It might hare been thought
that the Government had been tacit, and allowed
such practices to appear so glaringly in the noon.
day ; but they had acted as wise helm's-men, and
did nut act until they had steered in the har.
hour of corrvation. Messrs. Mason sad try.
lock were their Principal *fenders, sot only on
the charge in the indictment, but La several
transactions, similar. There never was a period
when there were fewer places sold under Govern.
merit, or less corruption existed in the disposal
of them, ur when merit was more rewarded....
At the same time he was sorry to say, there
raster was an era when so Much industry had
been made use of to propulgate to the contrary.
Mr. Watson does nut stolid in the same light of
guilt as the other Defendants, but yet he was
connected with them ; in fact, he was a link in
their chain ; it would be a ques.tion fur the
Court to consider m mitigation of punishment,
but could not apply to the Jury, if they con-
sidered he had combined with the other Defendants
to obtain this sung of money. He would call his
witnesses who were respectable men, and if their
testimony were believed, the credibility of which
could not be doubted, the Jury must Mid the De.
feedants Guilty.
He then proceeded to call his witnesses.
Mr. Thomas Harvey proved the service of the
notices of the indictment on the Defendants.

The notices were then read by the proper
officer.

Mr. Robert De Brunn Hesse stated as follow' :
" I am a Barrister ; on the 9th of January last, I
saw an advertisement in one of the public News-
papers, setting forth that a civil appointment was
to be disposed of."
The advertisement was put in and reed, via.
" 001 Appoletnieot of permanency t k awe
bat prinelpab may apply. The party men alaartittle -
try reedy fur imatedian ledvent, in a respeinble Banker 4
hands. Parrhare 1,6001., lucerne 400 t. per anon. Apply
I) to Neon. Pullman and Keylock, Crowe-coati,
rirradiandle-streal.--All letten west be post-paid."
Mr. Hesse then proceeded—" I wrote a letter,
agreeable to the direction In the advertisement, on
the 12th of January, and received as answer on
the 15th, signed by Keylock, staling, that the
situation advertised had been disposed of—but
they had a coast- waiter's.plate, bathe Customs, to
dispose of; the salary was 2301. per annum, but
it would bring in 6001. a year, and the purchase
money would be WWI. I accordingly went to
Pollman and Keylock's office, Crown court, and
introduced myself by producing Keylock's letter.
There was every appearance of great business in
the office. I asked them if they were certain they
could secure the appointment? Pnllman sent
there was no doubt of it; there were twenty-four
coast waiters; and it was well knownit use a fair
practice for them to resign. I inquired who in.
tended to vacate? Pelham Ilia it was not a fair
question, and he sees not at liberty to tell. I then
asked by whose interest it was in be obtained ?
Poilman hesitated ; but said. it was by a lady's.
I asked how the money was to be lodged! Ll-
lock produced a written paper, which Weald was
a form given him by his bankers, Sykes,-Seepl,
and Co.;he gave me a copy of it," which was
'prodeeed; vie that the mosey sisonld be paid
over to Pullman and Kcylock, on the appoint..

I agreed to this, and promised to return at
Nee o'clock in the evening, which I did, accompa-
nied by Mr. Harvey, who belongs to the Soli-
citor of the Treasuey office. Pollman was there
before mo—l introduced Mr. Harvey a., my friend;
Mr. Watson accompanied us from the front office
into the back one; 1 produced the letter of instruc-
tions, and the receipt, which was on a ss. stamp.
Watson altered them both, by inserting the word
Sf, instead of Sykes, Sneyd and Cu. Mr. Haney
produced the 19901. which I haaded over to Mr.
Watson. Pullman said I should base the appoint-
ment immediately. On the Monday morning fol.

I should accompany him, in the evening of that
day, to the lady, whose interest was to procure the

big mc, as the lady might fuel hurt at the pre-
sisnoeuf a third person; I was positive, and refused
to go without him. Pullman, after some hesita-
tiou, consented that he should be of the party ;
Pollman accurdiugly called on me and Mr. Har-
vey, at the Cannon cuffee-house, Charing-cross;
they awl proceeded to Crown-street, 11'i:stain'.
Her, where the lady lived. I understood her
name was Hardy. Pullman told me, as we walked
along, that Mrs. Hardy was a devil of a gripe,
and that I-- must inform her, that I was only to
give 9001. fur the appoittenent, as she was to ie.
ceivo that sum, and the persau resigning was to
receive 9001. inure ; the remainder would then be..
coma the, property of him and Key lock, al-
though, from the parsimonious disposition of Mrs.
llartLy., he would be obliged to give her 501.
more; Pullman introduced me to Mrs. Hardy,,
as the pLr,ou who wished to purchase the ap-
pointineut. Site SAL] she had written to the gentle-
man who had the disposal of it, and had strongly
iecommetidcd me to him ; there was a Mrs.
Berry in the room, whom, Mr. Pullman informed
one, was the mistress of the house ; they entered
iatocoaretsation : Mr. Berry said, " I sold the
payiliastersltip fur 1000 guineas." Pullman said,
he had st>hl the searehership fur 30001. ; she re.
plied, that it was a stiff one--he answered yes ;
but, however, he had got through with it. On
their Totem to Charing-cross, Pullman said, it
was a Lord of the Treasury, very near the Duke
of Portland, who was to secure the appointment ;
that his Grace had made the oath fur the parties,
and he knew it was broken every day, as his
Grace made 20 or 30,0001. a-year by the sale of!
places. Oe the lath of January 1 received a let- I
ter from Pullman ; on the 20th 1 called on him.
He saki he sent for me to receive some instruc-
tions, as I should bare thu appointment immedi-
ately, and it was necessary that t• aimuld be ini-
tiated into the rules of the office, so as to make
we &decimate ; that there were several forms to be
gone through, but hu thought by my giving two
or three dinners, they would be dispenses} with ;
there was an oath to be taken by me, such as that
1 had not purchased my appointment ; it was au
oath of no consequence, as it was my friend Mr.
Harvey paid the money for mc, and be, Pullman,
had taken 30 such oaths in the course of a day.
I had several inteivicws with Mr. Pullman after-
wards. Mr. Harvey was always present ; Key..
luck was sometimes present ; there was always ;
some excuse—sometimes Mrs. Clarke's business in
the Ileum: of Commons nu pleaded, as au excuse,
which obliged them to be inure cautious. On the 1
'nth of January, I saw, in the ST Artisi AN news-
paper, a report of the proceedings of the night I
before in the House of Commons, in which the j
names. of Pullman and Keyluck were mentioned i
by Mr. Wardle. 1 called on Pullmap, and told
him his name hail been mentioned in the House of
Commons. lie said, Keylock suspected I was
nut close, and had been talking to Mr. Wardle.
I assured him I had never seen that Gentltunati.
1 afterwards sow Mrs. Hardy at her own requess, I
and give her a certificate of my age ; she also res. 1
quired an atisdavit of it, which I brought her, and I
she said she would deliver act() the Gentleman who !
was to procure the appointment. I at last gave
up the pursuit.
He was cross-examined by Mr. Espinasse, the
Couimon Serjeant, Mr. Casoly, and Mr. Dallas ; ;
but nothing of interest Caine out, except that the
money bad been retusnud.
Mr. Harvey was examined, and corroborated
the evidence of the last witness.
Mr. Gregsms, Serveyor of the Coast-waiters,
proved, that the office of a Coast.waiter, for the
Port of Londe'', was a place of considerable
trust.
Here closed the evideuce Oa the part of the pro.
semition.
Lord Er.r.tmaonocon was of opinion that a
conspiracy had not been made out as to Watson,
for it was not proved that be ever had a communi.
cation with Mrs- Hardy.
Mr. KsviNasse, on the part of Pollman, con-
tended, that ift the conspiracy was not proved
against Watson, the indictment must necessarily
tall to the ground, as they were all indicted con-
jointly,
Lord ELLEKIOROUGH said, he would preserve
that point.

Lord Et.txxsostouou summed up the evidence
Kith his usual perspicuity; and the Jury without
hesitation gave a verdict, " That the Defendant,
Watson, was Not Guilty; but that the other
three Defendants were Guilty."
The Court was extremely crowded. The trial
began at nine o'clock in the morning, and did not;
finish until after roar. Mrs. Hardy was in Court;
she is about 50 years of age, and appeared as if
she had been once a handsome woman. She was
Emended bya very young man, dressed in all the
gaiety of fashion, and they appeared to enjoy the
t.cene much.

'tn.—The spirit of commerce insinuates
itself into the most sterile, as well as the most re.
mote corners of the habitable glohe—and even the
barren volcanic island of Ireland is likely to be.
come the scene of commercial speculatina. It
appears, by recent accounts from thence, that im.
mense quantities of hemp, tallow, and other flal.
tic proti.ice hare been deposited there by .Danish
privateers, which, to avoid recapture, it they
should attempt to reach a, Danish or Nora egian
part, have caried the prizes into that island. Go.
vernment are reported to have it in contemplation
to grant licences, Char the country may not be de-
prived of the favourable opport.!nity which is thus
offered, of obtailing Baltic produce, of which it
stands so greatly in tired—and that too at a very
low price, as it is obvious that the merchandise
thus locked up in a remote island is totally useless
to the captors.

His Majesty's ship Grewhound, Capt. PAstrx..

but we are happy to add, that only one seaman
'offered on the melancholy occasion. Captain Pa-

and were proceeding from thence in cartels. Cap-
tain PAIENIIAX and 150 men on board the Di:-

the remainder of the crew, escaped, and it arrived
at Penang.
The South Stark Light-house, off Holyhead,
was lighted a few days since. Although the sera.
ther was very unfavourable, yet it appeared at the
distance of four or five leagues as if the whole
Stark was on fire. This useful edifice is 60 feet
high, exclusive of the lantern. It has '2l lamps
placed in the centre of large reflectors, from 16
to 20 inches in diameter It is on a re►olving
principle, and shows its greatest light every two
minutes.

A young latly,.of considerable property, 22
years of age, who resided with hoe uncle and
guardian, not far from Chcl•ea Hospital, was
missing at nine o'clock on Wednesday evening,
when expected home from her usual walk. Her
maid servant, who generally accompanied her
mistress, was also missed with I►er. The hue and

were followed by blows ; a man of the name of
Dillon, who took the woman's part, obtained
possession of the fifer's regulation sword, with
which the young man was wounded so dreadfully,
that but little hopes are entertained of his reco.
