(FROM TNt DUBLIN ITININO POST, agentivss
MORNIPIO.)
The coonty of Galway continues disturbed. We hart
just learned that the Meeting of the Magistrates of the
county of Galway took place on Thursday. The Bench
was a very full one, and they came, we nnderstand,to
au unanimous Resolution to address the Lord Liente-
sant to proclaim the county of Galway, with the rice!).
tioa of the two western baronies, Moyculleu and Bali-
naldrich, where the estates of Mr. Martin, the Member,
are situate.

Thirteen men were yesterday evening committed to
our County gaol by Robert French, Rig. of Monism
Castle, charged with twing Ribbonmen, and taken be-
tween Monks. and Olautane. There were also three
men committed at the same time by the Rev. Mr.
O'Rorke, charged with a similar offence. One df these
men was a captain of a party, and had his commission
at the moment he was taken prisoner.—(Mid.)

DISTURIIANCIS IN Tin feI:NTT Or OALITAT.
OALWAT, Jas. 31.—1 t is with pleasure we hare this
day to record the vigilant and indefatigable exertions of
several of our county gentlemen, in anppreesing sec-
tarital meetings, and the administering of illegal oath*.
Mr. French, of Slonivae Castle, sasembled his tenantry
to a considerable atuoult, from the bridge of Mammas
to Abbers: and from the judicious manner in which he
has them ilistribnted, he ausecssfidly resists their incur-
sions in that district. Mr. Blakeney has his stationed
front Abbers to Meynet and Mr. Browne has his te-
nantry similarly disposed of, thereby intercepting an
the coinesionications through which they could possibly
pass. Each gentleman has a certain number of unit'
placed for a given period at a proper distance asunder,
and they alternately relieve each other, which prevents
them from being taken unawares, or much harassed. li

ward, and Woodlawn, Lord Ashtown, Messrs. Dunelan,
of Killagh and ttallydonelan,Capt. Davis, of Hampstead.
Mr. Mahon, of (leech-bill, Mr Usher, of F.astwell, Mr,
Kelly, of Ashbrook, and many other gentlemen evince
the greatest per nce in endeavouring to restore
order, which reflects the greatest credit on them • they
bare their tenantry in requisition each night, and oft-
serve the same system that is pnrstted by the gentlemen
above alluded to. We are informed that the tenantry
of Lord Clancarty have strictly adhered to the injunc-
tions of their humane and indulgent landlord, and that
they most cordially assist his Lordship's brother, the'
Hon. Rev. Dr. Trench, who, upon this, as upon all occa-
sions, is inflexible in the discharge of his 31agisierial
functions—the greater number of the tenantry arc arm-•
od, and sunder the direction of his reverence. The par-,
pert of the oaths (which we are informed are many)
these unfortunate and misguided wretches administer
are unknown to us. The nature of the first oath, if we
can rely on the information we have received is, "That
those persons sworn are to be in readiness, when Am-
atoned to attend the meetings, to be held at their place
of rendezvous, at Ballinafici, and to bring with 4iso
10d. each.
We have been favoured by a gentleman with the pin-
eal of a letter, stating " That on the night of Friday
last, a number of Hibhonmen ha,l assembled at Belly-
macward, in the barony of Kilconnell, and entered Ate
dwelling-house of Mr. John Evans, of Mount-Ventore,
which, with the furniture, &r they demolished. The
family were at Captain Davis's, of Hampstead, at the
time, and fortunately escaped the impending danger.
They also assembled Close to Hampstead, where they hadi
a conflict with Captain Davis's armed tenantry, who,
gave them a warm reception, and made them retire pee-i
cspitately, not before (it is strongly snpposed) soteemf
them were either shot or wounded. We disclaim any in-
station of unnecessarily exciting alarm ; we only dis• I
charge our duty to the public by detailing, without efk
*intention, the circumstances that came to our boos&
ledge. Sheers are too far advanced to abstain from
noticing thorn."--(Coneanght Jaffna.)
We leatn' with much regret, that those deluded
wretches, who call themselves Hibboasaten. mind
give serious annoyance to the peaceable ioha '
a imasiderible district of this country. They are
'radish our boundaries from the counties both of Haling
and goet.o-nason, and, to frustrate their active schemes
of evil, a vcry Increased degree of vigilance will, WO
apprehend, be iecersary. on the part of the magistracy,
