STATE OF IRELAND.
cram rns scstdm mimeo POST OP TURSOLTa
be country Is tranquil. The south of Ireland is
.now as peaceable as for any period within the last 20
years. We have reason to know, that attempts will be
Miede to convene the counties of Galway, Kilkenny,
Kerry, and the King's. County, on the subject of tithes.
Whether these counties will be pocketted by their re-
spective Sheriffs, cis know not. But we trust, in such
an event, that they will manifest a Letter spirit than the
Tipperary gentlemen.
- MSC'S T OOTR SU.
At an advanced period of the last evening, three
gentlemen called at our office, and gave information,
that on Wednesday night the haggard and out offices of
Mr. Wall, of Walstown. in the neighbourhood of Castle.
townrooehe, were maliciously set on fire, and nearly
consented. One of the Gentlemen, to remove any pre-
Odice we might entertain of the occurrence having
taken place, stated his having seen the flames, and also
stated, that he made inquiry the following morning (yes-
terday) of persons of undoubted veracity, who resided
at the place, and by them the circumstances were fully
confirmed. We are particular in this instance in giving
our authority, to guard against the possibility of misre-
presentation, or a desire of giving publicity to occur-
rences on what tided be considered slender authority.
However, we tenant avoid giving it as our opinion,
froot the candour and disinterestedness evinced by the
Gentleman to satilfy us in every particular, that the
incendiary spirit has been at work.—(Cork Constitu
tion.)
On Sunday night, the Ist init. two horses, the pro-
perty of Andrew Oates, were inhumanly killed on the
lands of Illackbog, is the Barony of Kell*, County Kil-
kenny, by tying their legs together, ripping open their
bellies, and throwing them into a gravel pit, full of
water ! The gentleman from whom we have received
this statement, informs us that, as far as lie knows, the
only
.cause which can be assigned for this act of bat ba-
rity is, that Oates was compelled to seize and cant some
goods of tenants lie had OS these lands, whetted remov-
ed their live stock to evade paying the rent, and he hail
employed the horses on the few days preceding in the
removal of some of the corn, which lie was obliged to
get friends to purchase fur hint at the auction.—(Water-
ford Mirror.)
A few nights ago, a very daring outrage was commit.
ted upon the house of Mr. Jonathan Jagne, of Derry
Goritfe, within three mites of Bandon.—Mr. Jagoe is
Agent to John Cotter, Esq. of this City; and had, on
behalf of his employer, entered into an agreement with
one of Mr. Cotter's tenants, to leave him his potatoe
crop, on condition of receiving the corn, to cover a large
sum due for rent and arrears. The tenant having seen
red the potatoes, a number cameo attacked Mr. Jagoe's
residence, broke his windows, carried away the corn,
threshed anti nntlireshed, threatened Mr.J ape severely,
and enjoined hint oot to demand Any rent in future. Mr.
Cotter is, ;ma always has been, a most indulgent land-
lord.—(Cork Adoertiier.)
rtia LaTIC STORM.
WATSRPORD, DEC. i.—ln the dreadful gale of Thurs-
day evening, a stack of cl l i 11l nies, belouring to a house
in King-street, inhabited by Mr. Thomas Leary, was
blown down, and did very w.cerial damage to the roof
and floors, hut providentially without injuting any
of the family. Several other houses experieuc:d its
elf-cis in a less degree.
CLIO. 31 Et.. DEC. 7. —This whole neighbourhood has
been, fir son.e days, visited by good natural Defeo:bee
weather—fro.t, snow, sleet, thaw, and frost again, until
Tit trsd.ty, when towards the evening, and during the
early part of the night, there fell a torrent of rain, and
bite- a hnticane, quite beyond any modern parallel.

The gluier', slaters, and bricklayers, are in isiels..rr-
,etaisition ; but we have not heard of any fatality beyond,
their remedy. .1
Tea St-ouse on Thursday night was severely felt in
the villages of Lush, Rusk, Sherries, and Balbriggan'
and also in the adjacent parts of the country. Several
houses were unroofed ; a great many were r Mall?
,stripped, but few escaped injury. A large stable be:
longing to Mr. Bowden, near Swords, in which there
were several horses was blown down fortunately whir-
lone may materiel injury being done to'the horses, al-
;honer the hay-loft was peewit down by the weight of
the roof. Many stacks of corn and ricks of hey went
teetered alsout, and very few haggard' wiped withoat
sustaining some damage ; the losses in this way, hoe=
ever, cannot he very serious. Vast numbers of trees in
the various demesnes throughout that part of the coun-
try have been torn up by the roots. In Captain White's
amnesia( agar Swords, there were about tbiny pros-
rated ii upwards of a hundred at Santry ; a great aura.
ber in Thackenstown, Lissenhall, Turvey, Ike. Ice. We
have sot heard of any serious accident, or loss of life of
limb ots land ; but it is reported that a fishing smack
and crew have heed lost off Balbriggan. There le
plenty of employment is that neighbourhood for thatchers
and slaters. "ltis an ill wind that blows no .
good." Many a man that would find nothing to do if
it were sot for the storm, will now find employment.
Straw will probably advance in price frown= demand
for it for thatching, and many will be Willi.] to set
about threshing, it onlyr to get ready straw for thatch.
The stripping being general, this perhaps may affect the
Corn Market.
Doeux, Deo. 7.—Although many tragical events'
were causal by the fury of the late hurricane in this
city, 'yet there were also many escapes from danger of
the most providential nature. Among those of the lat.',
tar-descriptioo, we are happy to be able to mention the
deliverance of the entire family of the Honouranle
Francis H. Hutchinson, in Ilenrietta Street, notwith-
standing that oil the doors io the front of the house
were destoyed in s motuent by the sodden falling in of a
Mack of chimney.. This tremendous casualty occurred
jest as Mrs. Hutchinson bad opened the door of one of
the rooms a little, with the intention of entering h—
i gunge beam falling against the door closed it violently
5 nst her, and thus as valuable a life as any that ever
Wed over a large and an interesting family was, by
's Previsions.. pre•Mved ! An immense heap of
rubbish fell upon the Coachman, which could not be
removed for upwards of two hours. When the poor
man was liberated. it was found that, fortunately, none
of his wounds or bruises were mortal. The appearance
of the interior of the house is awful in the extreme—
and a more complete rein cannot possibly be lon-
e! glued :

Till SEASON.
Though the quantity of rain that Las lately fallen near
the metropolis has not been greeter than usual et this
season of the 3'ear,lyet the earth having been previously
saturated, and little evaporation tusking place in many
pineee,the waters are one. It isfortunate that the wind bas
continued in a favourable quarter; bad it been otherwise.

stoned a most extensive devastation; alit is,the boust s near
the hanks of the River now have. in many instances. their
Jambes' inundated. This la the case at Hammersmith,
at Barnes, atklatirseisitha,isa. ee well as in London sad
Southwark. Meadows at Bradmore, at the cross road
leading to Acton (the roads themselves not escaping), at
Chiswick, &c., are overflowed ; and notwithstanding the
improved drainage, the waters for years have not been
out so inconveniently, and,in some instances, so ruin-
ously. The mills, at Ember, near Hampton, are obliged
to stop working, in consequence of their being over.
Cowed; 'the fields and meadows, near the Red House,
Battersea, are in a most dreadful state; and the entire
meadows of Mr. Matson, at Long Hedge Farm, near
Clapham, are completely overflowed.
The old bridge at Windsor has received great da-
mage, in consequence at the water being so high; it
has knocked away some of the piles that supported it.,
'fhe waters in the coital leading to the West of Eng-
land, is full a foot higher than is customary, and in
many parts it has overflowed its banks, and the vessels
are stopped in consequence of their being fearful of
opening the locks, the pressure of water being so great.
ln the lower parts of .Bath thr; have been for some
time inundated.
A gentleman, lately arrived from the north, states
that the roads, in many parts, are passable with diffi-
culty, especially near Ferrybridge. The lowlands,
about there, are much inundated. If the wind sffould
get into the east, the inundations will be worse on Sun-
day week, than they were last year, it being two days
after the new moon.—This sort of weather has had a
serious effect on vegetation; turnips, for instance,
which this year have been uncommonly fine, have been
so exposed to the wet, that the gardeners have been
compelled to draw them more rapidly than they would
wish. They are now so-plentiful in the markets, that
bunches, equal to what were sold, a short time since,
for ninepence and one shilline each, are now cried about
the streets atone penny a bunch—.ol very fuse turnips

too
Notwithstanding so many inconveniences have re-
sulted from the peculiarity of the weather, there are
still many proofs of the remarkable mildness of the lei:
son. In some gardens at the bock of Hammersmith,
leading to Acton, and to which ordinary attention only
has been paid, some raspberries were picked in the
coarse of the present week; other raspberries are form-
ing on the same trees which still present a good deal of
blossom. And in the Regency Gardens, Battersea-
there are two beds of haulboya which have been
exposed to the changes of the weather in ball bloom
and there are also some roots of strawberries with fruit
on them. Some apples are on a tree the size of pi-
geons eggs, being the fourth time this season that
apples have been gathered from such toes!

There was such a heavy fog at Lynn on Wednesday
morning, that Mr. Matlawl's ferrymen lost their way
when ferrying some passengers over the river, anti
were more than two hours before they eould find the
shore.
NiVSTRRIoIIR AFFAIR AT EAST GRINSTRAD.-.-Sollle
evenings ago the loud report tilt gun was heard in East
hrinstead Chutrelt-yard, and when the frightened inha-
bitants arrived at the spot, they found two very respect•
able young men lying at a grave, bath shot in the legs.
The account they gave was, that they bad been induced
by some London resort-action-turn to. take mit. • Aimee
recently interred, and that in the act of so doing, they
had been watched awl shut at. Nothing farther has yet
transpired; as both the parties are highly respectable,
their motives for obtainin4 inch base employment co-
ntains a mystery.

INQUEST ON THE
MR. 00DIER-ROE.OF HICEMAN AND
This Inquest took place at the Swan with Two-Meets. on
Finchley Common. before the Coroner for Middlesex, It
eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. The body of Thos.
Hickman was mutilated in the most shocking manner, no
part or it was discernible to his belt friends. Mr. Roe's
was different. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict as its
both, of—Accidental Death.
It was proved that the proprietor of the Peterborough
waggon coming op to town, had a lock cart attaeltwl bekiml
