The Dubreir Merman: Post, of Thursday last. tre-
ceived this day, contains a Proclamation by the Lord
Lieutenant and Council of • Ireland. with a view. to

bring to speedy and condign punishment 'the persons
concerned iii the barbarous murder of Richard Going,
Esq. a Megietrate of- the County of Limerick, and late
Chief Magistrate of the Police establishment in that
county.. For this purpose his Majesty's pardon is
offered to any of "the accomplices in the murder, ,ex-
cept the persons who actually fired at Mr. Going, to-
gether with a reward ofTwo Thousand pounds, which
will be paid in the following manner ;—to any person
or pertions who shall within the space of six calendar
months from the date thereof, discover the persons con-
terned in the said murder, so is that they or any of
them be apprehended and prosecuted to conviction.
that is to say, the sum of 3001. for each and every of
the first five, and 1001. fur each and every of the next
five persons concerned in the said murder, as perpe-
trators or accomplices, who shall he apprehended and
prosecuted to conviction as aforesaid. •
By Extracts in the same paper it appears that the spirit
of outrage, which commenced in County Limerick, has
extended to Tralee, and a like infatuation has appeared
in the County Mayo.-In Dublin the spirit of harmony
which had been so stongly urged in the celebrated
letter of the ling, and seconded by Lord Sidmouth in
his letter to the late Lord Mayor, seems to be counter-
acted with equal zeal by certain members of the Cor-
poration, as is evident in the following address to the
new Lord Mayor, front the junta called " the Aldermen
of Skinner's Alley" :
" My Lord and Brother—The Brethrenof the ancient
and loyal Society of the Aldermen of Skinner's-alley,
proud of the opportnnity of expressing the sense of your
Lordship's worth, beg leave to offer their sincere congra-
tulations upon your elevation to the chief Magistracy of
this their native City, a situation peculiarly suited to the
temperament of your Lordship's mild and conciliatory
disposition at this most fortunate juncture. Convinced
of the value of those talents so eminently displayed in
the dignified and truly consistent conduct pursued by
your Lordship upon the day of your inauguration dinner
their unanimous feeling is, that you are entitled to their
best thanks, and to the thanks and praises of all
classes of your fellow countrymen, by proposing the
Memory of King William 111., (accompanied by senti-
ments of Christian charity and brotherly love,) you have
removed distrust and inspired confidence, thereby admir-
ably contributing to the work of Union amongst Irish-
men, and acting in perfect accordance with the empha-
tical injunction of our most gracious Sovereign, con-
tained in a letter addressed to his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant from Lord Viscount Sidmouth, dated 3rd of
September last, at the same time that youhave preserved
unimpaired, the chartered usage sad ancient custom of
that Corporation, of whirls your Lordship is so deset red-
Iv the head. "By Order. "P. MURRAY, Sec."

BRIGHTON, OC 19--A most distressing circum
stance occurred at the house of Capt. Bulbeck, in
Middle street, on Thursday afternoon.—The servant
girl went up to an attic, taking with her a child 'of
Captain B.'s, a fine boy between three and four yeas
of age 1 and while she was engaged in putting on her
goers, the little fellow unperceived. pushed up the
sash, and, leaning out of the window, lost his equili-
brium, and fell, headlong into the street. The skull
of the unfortunate child was so dreadfully fractured by
the fall, that he survived only a few minutes. The
parents of the infant have been ever siace almost in a
state of distraction.—We do sincerely hope that this
shocking accident will operate as a caution on all those
entrusted with the care of children.
Mr. Green, the aeronaut, left us yesterday ; and, we
regret to say, that he is a very considerahle loser by
his visit to Brighton ; he having lost his balloon, and
very nearly his life, and received by way of compensa-
ti n, about one hundred pounds! The balloon, we un-
derstand, cost him 3001.
BRIGHTON, OCT. 16.—A young man, an agricultu-
ral labourer on a neighbouring farm, in consequence..
of having been taken by at; Officer of the Customs,
with a cask of contraband geneva in his possession. I
was brought before the bench of Magistrates yes-
terday, to establish the penalty of 100/. as the pu-
nishment of his offence. He said he had found the
cask in a ditch, and knew not what it contained.
" Had you found such a thing." said he, turning to
one of the Magistrates. " I dare say you would have
thought there could be no harm in putting your hand
upon it."—" I would as soon have thrust my hand
into the open mouth of a mad dog," was the forcible
reply.—The fine was confirmed. In default he was
committed to the county gaol.
They managed these matters formerly in a more
neighbourly manner at Brighton.. Dr. Russell, whose
portrait occupies a distinguished place in the Assembly
Room of the Old Ship. as the original patron of
Brighton, and of all other sea-bathing places, in con-
sequence of his work on the Use of Sea-water in Glan-
dular Cases, was accustomed to relate the following
story, as an instance of the cirilit9 of a Revenue
officer. The Doctor was one eveuing returning, on
horseback, from Brighton to his house at Mailing, near
Lewes, attended by his man, who had a couple of kegs
slung over his horse, when be was met by the officer
of the district, to whom he was. of course, well
known. The officer, of course, also, paid the usual
compliment of " good evening," to the doctor in
passing. and looking at the servant's luggage, called
oat as he went on, " if I did not know, Doctor,
that you were taking home Sea-water. 1 should have
suspected these were kegs of brandy or gin."
