COUNTY OF KERRT.  TRALEE, OCTOBER 10.—It is reported that some of the discontented characters of the neighbouring County have found their way into this town, and have endeavoured to proselyte some of our poorer inhabitants, whose distresses they hope will cause them to lend a ready ear to their wicked and seductive arts. We hear that persons have been sworn not to pay tythes or taxes. Greatly, indeed, as we may rejoice at anything in the order of PROVIDENCE which has.* tendency to ameliorate the condition of the poor, yet we turn with abhorrence from those blasphemous proceedings, where GOD is solemnly invoked to sanction designs of lawlessness and tumult, commenced under the obligation of an oath. Let it be recollected, that the poor man forsakes his best friend, and, indeed, his only consolation, when he forsakes his Goo ; and that between riot and contempt of Gob, there is but one step.  The City of Bristol is about to be improved by the erection of a handsome bridge over a branch of the Frome.  MURDER AT HIGHGATE —ln the expectation that circumstances might probably have been brought forward to implicate Barrel in the charge of numder, prior to the commencement of the Sessions, the Rev. Dr. Owen, of Highgate, on the last examination, appointed yesterday for Barrett and his wife being again brought up in custody, in order that they might hear any evidence brought forward against them. Mr. HARMER, the solicitor for tile prosecu. tion, thought it, however, unnecessary for them to be brought from Ncsrgate, the Sessions being so nearly approaching ; but, in their absence, recommended that every exertion might be made to forward the ends of justice, by tracing even the most frivolous matter to the bottom. It was intended to have brought forward a private watchman, late in the employ of Mr. Rothschild, who discharged him for having stabbed the coachman in a quarrel, but he has not yet been found. The prisoners, Barret and his wife, stand fully committed for ti ial on the charge of robbery at Mr. Rothschild's, and it is expected that their trial will be brought forward at the Old Bailey, in the course of next week.  DREADFUL FlRE.—Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the South side of Valentine-place, in the Surrey-road, about half way between the New-cut and the Magdalen Hospital. It began in an oil and colour shop. The fire rapidly involved every part of the house, and .communicated with the next. Assistance was promptly sent for, and two or three engines soon arrived, but either from want of water, or from ignorance where to find the plugs, the hi men and the ❑eighbours w ete condemned for more than half an hour to witness the progress of the conflagration, without being able to take a single step to impede or arrest its course. One woman, who was in the second floor, after the flames had caught the lower parts of the house, and blazed out of the window around her, threw herself down, and was caught in a blanket.—The two houses that first caught Me were rapidly destroyed, and a third was nearly burnt down, when (about twelve o'clock) water was found, and the engines began to play, and in less than half an hour the Activity of the firemen triumphed, and the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses, who were trembling for their safety, and beginning to remove their property, wets letieved front alarm and appiehenston.
