armed men. It's inmates were determined
to fight to the last extremity, but this des-
perate resource was denied them The
viIlainous Scully, whom the strangely CO.
incident song Of the bard had reused to
horror Of his treachery, had betrayed his
master, and rendered all the firearms use
less by soaking their contents with water.
Here we are enabled TO record an act of
devoted attachment en- the part Of the out
law fosterer, whose name was likewise
OEulliyan In this hour of peril, he gen
erously resolved to procure his inmates
safety by his own death. Having attired
himself il the usual dress Of the outlaw, lie
rushed, with sword i'll hand, against the
soldiers-every musket was leyeled at the
brave man, and he fell beneath shower Of
bullets The work of destruction was bat
begun-the house was fired in every direc>
ton, and as the inmates rushed from the
flames, the leaden messengers OF death ar
rested their further flight. No traces ofthe
miserably Sculy were afterwards found
and it is supposed that his despair induced
him to perish in the flames. As MuTtough
Oge himself attempted to escape at a pri
vate outlet, gentleman of the neighbor-
hood, who guided the troops thither, lay
ing in wait near the spot, shot him through
the heart. The principal actors in this af
fair now repaired to Cork, and a passage
by water was deemed the most eligible
mode ofreacbing that city. A boat was
accordingly procured, but owing either to
hatred Of the unfortunate Mortough Oge,
or to some superstitious observance, or
perhaps union Of both, they would not
permit his bloody corpse on boardj but
the body was bound with rope to the stern
of the vessel, and in that way trailed along
the deep from Bearhayen to Cork. On ar,
irving there, his head was fixed on the Jail
Of the south gate, and the headlesS trunk
exhibited for many days to the gaze OF the
multitude, and finally thrown into a pit.
Such was the end of Murtough Oge O'Sul-
hvan His fine natural endowments and
social qualities would have digniiied any
station; but his lot was cast upon evil
days; and in the pursuit Of revenge, he
spurned the laws OF God, and incurred tie
vengeance of that government within whose
grasp he met his untimely fate.
